YVANNA STELLA GAUMOND, THE DAUGHTER OF A BUSINESS TYCOON ARDRYAN GAUMOND FOUND ALIVE

Napahilot ako sa sentido ko habang nanunuod ng balita.

Potangina, nand'yan na. Kumakalat na. Umagang-umaga, bibigyan ako ng sakit sa ulo.

I think it's somehow a bad decision na umuwi ako.

I turned off the televesion and leaned on the sofa. I sighed.

Parang ayoko munang lumabas ngayon kahit na kailangan. Alam kong sinusugod si daddy ng mga media ngayon for questions and clarifications.

Now that the news are up, I wonder what are the reaction some of the people I'm close with before. Magugulat ba sila? Magagalit ba sila saakin?

Nagulantang ako nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. It was daddy who's calling.

Nagdadalawang isip pa ako kung sasagutin ko ito o hindi. Alam kong tumawag siya dahil sa balita na 'yon.

Nakakainis naman kasi. I just want to live lowkey, but why do I live a life like this?

And why can't people mind their own businesses? Hindi ba uso sa kanila ang mga salitang 'wag nang maki-alam sa issue ng iba? Punyeta.

I answered daddy's call after three rings. I placed my phone on my left ear.

"Hello?" panimula ko.

"Did you watched the news? What do you want me to say to the medias?" sabi na. Ito talaga ang sasabihin ni daddy.

"Tell them I'm alive," Sabi ko nalang.

"You sure?" paninigurado ni daddy.

"Wala na 'kong magagawa. Hindi rin ako nag-iingat. Tell them I'm alive, and don't bother us anymore,"

"Okay, I'll end this call now," sabi niya at pinatay ang tawag.

Napabuntong hininga ako. Tinitigan ko ang cellphone ko. Should I reactivate my accounts?

Maybe I should, then I'll just set it to private.

Ni-reactivate ko ang mga social media accounts ko. I've received tons of messages from a lot of people including my friends.

I posted a status saying hello. A lot of people reacted "wow", and a lot of people commented.

I want to laugh when I read Haniezyn's comments on my post.

Haniezyn Emerson: TANGINA KA BUHAY KA PALA?

Haniezyn Emerson: TANGINA KA REPLYAN MO KO O TALAGANG PAPATAYIN KITA CHAROT HOY

Napa-iling ako at binuksan ang messenger ko. Pinindot ko ang pangalan ni Haniezyn. I scrolled up at nakita kong napaka-dami niyang messages sa'kin since the day that I faked my death.

Uminit ang gilid ng mga mata ko. This shows how my friends truly loves me. Everyday siya nagme-message. Para niyang ginawang diary ang chat box namin. I laughed.

I clicked the call button. After several rings, she answered.

She requested a video call. I turned on the camera. To my surprise, she's with Criz.

"HOY TANGINA MO!" Sabay na sabi nila. Tumawa lang ako.

"Hello, naaalala niyo pa ba ako?" tanong ko.

"TANGINA MO KAMO!" Napatawa ako sa lutong na mura ni Criz.

"Gago ka, alam mo ba ilang baldeng luha ang iniyak namin, tapos malalaman naming buhay ka pa pala?!"
