Atom probes effects of gayuma

MANILA, Philippines - Tomorrow at 4:45 p.m. on ABS-CBN’s Pinoy True Stories: Hiwaga, Atom Araullo (photo) looks into the story of Carla, a typical student who used a gayuma to get the guy she has fallen in love with.

Carla wanted to fast-track her relationship with the Filipino-Spanish Delo and took matters into her own hands. She eventually sought help from her friend who knows how to cast a love spell, and would learn a chant that she would recite every night in hopes of finally making Delo fall in love with her.

While the chant worked, the fairytale romance that she had longed for started to become a nightmare that she now wishes to escape from. Delo’s “love” for her has turned into obsession that he has become more of a stalker than a lover who never lets Carla out of his sight.

With the help of experts, a psychic medium and a life coach, Atom helps Carla find solutions to her love problem. Is it possible for their lives to go back to normal? Or would Delo forever be a slave to a love that never existed?
