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..."

“The nerve of that man. We are almost of the same age! Divina should see him like an older brother!”, Divina’s older brother, Menandro commented as he drinks with his friends Nicandro and Pedro outside their house. 


“What else could we do? He’s the man that our youngest sibling loves.”, Divina’s second brother, Ricardo defended when he heard them as he arrived home from his work. 


“Love? That’s nonsense! Father loved our mother too but his love never did anything good to us when he died. I was forced to stop schooling to help mother. And you, look at you, you even grew up gay!”, Menandro mocked his younger brother for being gay.
