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 and Divina’s good relationship has now become tainted these past few days due to Alfredo’s arrival. Divina noticed how Marco had been intentionally avoiding her at all costs. Even though she is sad by this, she is forcing herself to become used to this kind of set up. They’re almost not talking with each other anymore and everyone around them had noticed this sudden change between them too. They all wondered what happened as if they have had a very big argument and weren’t able to make up yet. But all their questions had been answered when they all witnessed a handsome man waiting for Divina outside the school when they were all about to go home. 


“Divina, you should introduce this good-looking guy who has been waiting patiently for you.”, Maria teased but was really curious deep inside. Divina nodded and she introduce Alfredo to her workmates. 


“This is Alfredo… my lover.”, Divina said and everyone cheered for her happily.
