Then And Now

“Pilitin mo mang baguhin ang sarili mo ay mananatiling ikaw pa rin ang babaeng mahal ko…” TEASER High school pa lang si Jane ay crush na niya si Jester. But Jester didn’t notice her. Hindi ang mga katulad niyang konserbatibo at inosente ang tipo nito. Jester preferred a woman that was hot and liberated. In other words, he wanted a woman who could absolutely “rock” his world! Kaya naman nang mabalitaan niya buhat sa childhood best friend niyang si Matt ang planong pagbabakasyon ng lalaki sa Pilipinas ay talaga namang to the highest level ang ginawa niyang paghahanda. She transformed into a woman she never was. She portrayed like a woman-of-every-man. Nagbago ang pananamit niya, ang kanyang pagkilos, at ang dating inosenteng mukha ay napalitan ng aurang kaakit-akit. Subalit isa na lang ang kulang—she doesn’t know how to kiss. That alone was her big problem! Paniguradong madi-disappoint si Jester oras na malaman nitong hindi siya marunong humalik. Isa lang ang alam niyang makapagtuturo sa kanya. That was her best friend—si Matt. Pumayag naman ito. Matt was like a devoted teacher who taught her how to kiss just right. Oh, so right… Ngunit may hindi siya napaghandaan. Bakit tila bigla yatang naglaho ang interes niyang magpa-impress kay Jester? Bakit bigla ay mas interesado na siyang matikmang muli ang napakasarap na halik ni Matt? Now, she was facing a great dilemma of hearts between Jester and Matt…

Sa una niyang buhay, isang martir at talunang maybahay ang ganap ni Felicity Gambello sa kanyang asawang si Santiago El Gueco. Hindi niya maiwan ang asawa dahil sobrang mahal niya ito, kahit pa harap-harapan siyang niloloko. Natapos ang kanyang buhay sa isang malagim na kapalaran; ang kamatayan. But things turn a strange turn. Ang asawang hindi umuuwi sa kanilang tahanan sa previous niyang buhay, was now returning everyday. Nag-aalala pa ang lalaki na baka ipagpalit niya ito kapag hindi niya inagahan. “Jago, naniniwala ka ba na sa hinaharap ay hihilingin mo na lang na mawala ako?” “Huwag ka ng mangarap, Feli. Hanggang kamatayan ay magsasama tayong dalawa.” Bilang isang nilalang na muling bumalik sa nakaraan matapos niyang masilayan ang kanyang malagim na kamatayan, hinayaan na lang ni Fae na magsanga ang landas ng asawa at ng babaeng sa unang buhay ay ipinalit nito sa kanya. Subalit, sa halip na hiwalayan siya kagaya ng nangyari dati, kabaliktaran doon ang naganap. Hindi na nga siya hiniwalayan ng asawa, bagkus ay lalo pa siya nitong minahal. Ang nakakagulat pa ay nagawang taalikuran nito ang babaeng minsang naging sagabal sa pagsasama nila. Muli ba itong pagbibigyan ni Feli o ituloy niya na lang ang unang plano upang hindi niya maranasan ang malagim noon na kapalaran?

Tatlong taon. Three years of hell. Ganoon katagal tiniis ni Maria ang isang loveless marriage sa piling ni Javier Elizalde. Sa mata ng cold-hearted CEO, isa lang siyang desperadang gold digger na humahadlang sa kaligayahan nito. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang ma-aksidente si Javier. Tragedy struck, leaving the powerful billionaire blind and helpless. Sa panahong tinalikuran siya ng mundo, si Maria ang nanatili. She became his eyes, his hands, and his sole comfort. Sa ilalim ng katahimikan at walang pagpapakilala, inalagaan niya ito. She nursed him back to health, umaasang sa wakas ay matutunaw na ang yelong nakabalot sa puso ng asawa niya. And it worked—he fell in love with her gentle care, promising to cherish the woman who saved him once he recovered. Pero ang akala ni Maria na happy ending, naging bangungot. When Javier finally opened his eyes, he didn't look for her. Instead, he embraced another woman—his first love—believing she was the one who stayed by his side. Wasak na wasak at pagod na sa pagiging option, Maria made the ultimate decision. Ibinigay niya ang kalayaang matagal nang hinihingi ni Javier. She handed him the divorce papers with a final, broken whisper: "You are free now, Javi. And so am I." She left without looking back. Kaya bakit ngayon ay parang asong ulol na naghahabol ang makapangyarihang CEO sa kanyang ex-wife? Bakit siya lumuluhod at nagmamakaawa para sa isang second chance? Sorry, Mr. CEO. The wife you took for granted is dead and gone. And this time? Walang bawian.

10 years have passed and she got everything, so they said. A face that no one could ever deny its beauty, a body that makes men go crazy and a successful career in the legal profession. She has it all, except him- the man she so dearly loved but has to let go of for her to get all these things she has now. Cattaleya Rillera really thought then that it would be worth it. Afterall, she was only 17 at that time when an elderly couple chose her to be their adoptee. Hindi niya inakalang may magkakagustong ampunin pa siya dahil sa edad niya. When she reached the age of 16, hindi na siya nangarap pang may magkakainteres sa kaniyang maging parte ng kanilang pamilya dahil isang taon na lamang ay aalis na siya ng bahay-ampunan dahil magiging isang ganap na siyang maygulang. At ngayong may gusto siyang ampunin, hindi niya papalampasin. This is all she ever wanted. Lahat naman sila doon sa bahay-ampunan. Thus, she consented to such an adoption even if she would have to break her promise to the boy she loves- Caleb Sanchez- the boy she promised to marry when she left the orphanage. Isa ding orphan na naunang umalis ng orphanage dahil mas matanda ito sa kanya ng 2 years. Ang taong nangakong magsisikap para makapag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang pagsasama sa oras na umalis siya sa bahay-ampunan. Now that she has finally achieved the success of her chosen career, she thinks it's time to locate him. And if she succeeded, she could only pray that he was still single and that he would find it in his heart to forgive her.
