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

“D-Divina?”, a man behind her approached her. Divina was shocked to see Marco there. 


“Why are you crying?”, Marco asked worriedly. 


“DIVINA!”, Alfredo suddenly appeared there. He had caught up with Divina. 


“Divina… let’s talk, please! I beg you…”, Alfredo desperately begged. 


“Were you crying for this man, Divina?”, Marco sounded angry. 


“Be-because…”, Divina tried to explain. 


“Divina, I beg you… please wipe your tear. Don’t get jealous because of Belen, that desperate woman. You are the one that I love!”, Alfredo continued to beg. Marco was surprised to hear Alfredo’s words. 


Divina truly loved this man and he felt that he is in no position to be there… he shouldn’t be there. Even though the place is big but… it is too cramped up with the three of them being there. Even though it breaks Marco’s heart to see Divina crying, he has no right to be in between these lovers.
