A/N: I'm really sorry for my sudden disappearance. I was so busy with schoolwork and some personal reasons. I have a lot of concerns regarding this story as well the reason why I put it on hold for months. But I have decided to finish this before editing it all, hope you understand.
Atherelle's POV
Justice Served
I am now the heat topic of the social media. Kaka-pasok ko pa lang dito ay pinagkakatuwaan na kaagad ako. They make fun of my face, talk shits about me and called me names, malandi at maruming babae. Mabilis kumalat ang balita na kahit iyong mga walang alam sa gaming industry ay nakiki-share ng mga meme photos ko.
Gaviel went back to my condo unit that night to check on me followed by our other friends. Naroon din sila Gasper at iba pang membro ng Evos at Obienna. They're thinking a way of how to stop the spreading of the issue but knowing social media, mahirap itong pigilan.
People immediately have the source of my past. Kaagad nilang nalaman na dati ay pa iba-iba ako ng boyfriend noong high school at na kick out sa La Salle dahil sa video na iyon. They already knew every details about me that gave them the audacity to bash me more. Mostly, they mentioned about my profession.
Successful nga ganito naman ang gawain
'Yan ba ang gawain ng isang architect? Gross!
Parang hindi professional
Kabago-bago lang sa gaming industry, sira na image, deserved!
Maganda nga't professional pangit naman ng gawain
She deserves to be thrown out. Kahihiyan lang sa pamilya
Kaya ata naging gan'yan ka successful pati professor at boss inakit.
Ano kaya nagustuhan ni EzTri sa babaeng 'to?
Sayang si Gaviel napunta sa architect na pulutan
Iyan ang kadalasang komentarya ng mga tao. Though, there are still few people who tried to be fair and somehow defend me pero ginagawa lang silang tanga ng karamihan. Everything is a mess.
"Don't read the comments and deactivate your social media accounts." utos ni Gaviel sa akin.
Lahat ng videos ko ay pangit lahat ang komentarya ng mga tao, either swearing me or throwing awful words. I have read their comments on my videos na hindi ko dapat ginagawa. I continue scrolling down the comment sections instead, reading all the comments like it was pretty entertaining.
"Atherelle, I said deactivate your social media accounts." Mariing Utos ni Gaviel.
I did not do what Gaviel told me. Kung gagawin ko 'yon ay para ko na ring inamin na ako nga 'yon. Yes, it hurts knowing that people then again use me for fun in a way that I was being disrespected and humiliated. Sira na naman ang pangalan ko dahil sa bagay na hindi ko nagawa, and that was the most painful of all. Like, how can I voice it out and stand my words when I can't even prove to anyone that that was fake? How can I make this right when in the first place I don't have any pieces of evidence that prove my innocence? I can't defend myself at all.
"I'll open the investigation of this case again," Gaviel said in the middle of the silence.
"Magpapa-interview ako tungkol dito while the investigation is still on-going." Gasper seconded.
Tumango ang karamihan at nagsabing magbigay din sila ng statement o kahit mag post sa social media account nila. I genuinely appreciated that they're trying to give those people a good feedback about me kahit walang kasiguraduhan na gagana. Pero ayoko'ng pati sila ay ma-bash dahil dito.
