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… our relationship is against our school’s rule… so what do we do now?”, Divina opened up the topic first. Marco is still silent as he wrapped his arms around Divina. He sighed. 


“I don’t know too, my beloved. Among all the problems that you had to seek answers from me, this is the only one I couldn’t answer. I just want to enjoy this moment with you right now. The fact that you loved me too, makes me happy so much. I’ve never been this happy in my life before.”, Marco sincerely said. 


Marco is also confused. He is torn between his passion for teaching kids and his love for Divina. They are both important to him… but when the time comes that the school will find out their relationship, they would be asked to stop teaching. It will be difficult for them to find another job because of their tainted reputation. He doesn’t want to destroy his beloved’s future. 


“Maybe the right thing to do is to keep our love a secret…”, Divina eventually said.
