Year 1968...

Divina was broken-hearted due to her lover, Alfredo's infidelity. He cheated on her with a rich heiress named Belen. Even though it was difficult for Divina, she forced herself to move on. She became a teacher in a private school and became close friends with their headteacher, Marco Salvador. Marco is a happy person and he shares this happiness with those people around him to the point that Divina is slowly falling for him... but there is one absolute rule in that school, they shouldn't have a romantic relationship with each other. Marco holds a high position at school and Divina loves teaching. How are they able to face the obstacles of their growing affection? Are they destined to be together or will they end up with the common saying, "they met but they were not fated"?

"We were but we were not..."

We Were But We Were Not

Marco brought Divina inside the music room. He is currently playing a piece that Divina had heard for the first time. The melody is so beautiful and she felt peaceful once again… but without noticing, this melody had painted a gentle smile on her face. 


Divina was interrupted with her peace when Marco suddenly stopped playing. 


“Why? Is it done already?”, Divina asked curiously. Marco scratched his head as if he was embarrassed. 


“The truth is, I haven’t finished it yet. It’s my own composition.”, Marco answered. 


“Really? Did you make this? It’s very beautiful!”, Divina was so amazed. 


“What is it called?”, Divina added excitedly. 


“I still couldn’t think of anything yet. You should help me think of a beautiful title, my beloved… after I finish the whole song.”, Marco smiled beautifully, pleased with how Divina had reacted to his song. Divina nodded happily as if she had forgotten already that she was supposed to be sulking just earlier before.
