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

“The lights are still on, Marco.”, Divina wondered as she arrived outside their home. 


“WHAT RICARDO!? TELL ME! HAVE YOU BECOME A MUTE NOW?! WHERE IS YOUR SISTER?!!, Divina heard her mother yelling in the middle of the night. 


“It’s my mother!”, Divina shivered in fear. They could clearly hear her angry voice even from the outside. 


“She’s yelling at older brother… she’s looking for me, Marco! Maybe… maybe she already knew about us!”, Divina anxiously said as she hugged Marco. 


“What will happen to us, Marco?”, Divina cried as she hugged him tightly, afraid that she might lose him. 


“Divina… I won’t let go of you! Ever!”, Marco was firm on his words as he hugged her tightly too when suddenly they heard the door loudly slammed. Someone opened the door, it was Ricardo with tears in his eyes. Ricardo was surprised to see the couple in front of the house. 


“D-Divina?”, Ricardo whispered in surprise and he looks both at Marco and Divina.
