LEYSA'S POV

BREAKING NEWS

"Diana Frank-Wilford, the wife of the hottest and famous CEO of WilCo. Group, Frederik Wilford, was having an affair with Daniel Apolonio, CEO of the big Furniture Factory in the Philippines... and the ex-fiancé of Leysa Frank, the famous lyrical dancer around the globe. What's the real story behind this? Is this also connected to the Frederik-Leysa scandal, six years ago? Who's the real and fake lovers to this love affair?"

Binabasa ko ngayon ang headlines sa mga tabloids, even when you turned on the television and radio, ito ang usap-usapan. Seriously? I am again involved to this, what the f*ck! Kung saan nanahimik na ako at tamang pagbalik ko pa talaga rito sa Pilipinas, nagsilabasan ito. Wala pa nga akong isang linggo rito eh. Kagabi lang lumabas ang scandal ni Ate Diana and Daniel, which was taken the night before my wedding day. And the one I took... oo, ako ang may hawak ng video tape na kinalalagyan ng scandal na iyon. Dahil ako lang naman ang nakasaksi ng pangyayaring iyon. But then, here it goes... lumabas sa media and I promised to myself and to all of you.

Hindi ako ang nagpalabas nun. 'Cause I want a happy and quiet life in this world now, lalo na at may mga anak akong pinoprotektahan and then this shit happens.

Who's behind this? Dahil sa pagkakaalam ko wala akong pinagsabihan ng tungkol sa video tape na hawak ko, kaya sobrang pagtataka ko na parang virus na kumalat ito kagabi, and I have no idea kung anong reaksyon ng magulang ko about this at lalong-lalo na nina ate at Fred.

Madami pa roong lumalabas sa social media... like, that the scandal happened between me and Frederik Wilford was only a way to get a revenge, etc etc. Which is true at 'yung dating puro negatibong paratang sa akin ay naging kabaliktaran. Lahat na ng mga salitang 'yun ay napunta kay Ate Diana. Lahat ng taong noon ay kinukutya ako, throwing hurtful and heart breaking words to me ay nagsisimpatya na ngayon sa akin. Meron ding sumusuporta sa Frederik and Leysa tandem. People also made up a combined name for us, FreYsa... yes! "FreYsa, are they the real couple? Did we misunderstand them?" --yan ang mga article na kumakalat.

Kaya sobrang nafru-frustrate ako. Kahit ayaw ko mang magbasa ng mga balita tungkol sa eskandalong pumutok, I have to, lalo na at posibleng magkaroon ng presscon ito kapag malaman ng media na andirito na ako sa Pilipinas. Madami akong tanong na dapat paghandaan, lalo na ang pagpapalit ko ng apelido.

Lalong-lalo na at walang kaalam-alam ang magulang ko, lalo na si mommy na nasa puder ako ng lolo ko, who is tatay niya... all this time and the worst case is... baka ma-expose ang mga anak ko, na 'yun ang pinaka-iiwas iwasan kong mangyari. I don't want them to be involved, lalo na at hindi alam ng tatay nila na nage-exist sila sa mundong ito. And it will become another story to tell –I mean another explanation to the people around me.

Nagsco-scroll lang ako... when something pops up on my macbook screen, another breaking news...

"FREDERIK WILFORD and DIANA FRANK: a void marriage"

And I am shock... yes, nabanggit na ito ni Don Rafael before. Pero di ko inasahang totoo pala talaga. I clicked the article and then I read the whole write up.

The once perfect and envied couple in the country are not actually married. How true is this?

We have received an email through an unknown sender saying that "The truth will set you free" and with attached documents. And when we downloaded and opened those docs. It's a copy of a void marriage contract of Mr. Wilford and Ms. Diana Frank. No seal and proof that it was legally filed in the marriage registrar, and to further investigate this matter... we conducted a research through the PSA and with the consent of the persons involved –to really find out the truth about their marriage, if it was really not filed, void or let say... non-existent. And we discovered that legally, Mr. Frederik Wilford was still the hottest bachelor in town, in short... still single and ready to mingle –that made all his female supporters giggled with happiness about the news.
