Tears On a withered Rose (ON GOING)

Evara suffered abuse from her family since childhood. The mistreatment continued even after she grew up. She became desensitized and focused on her studies. In junior high, she tutored a student, which led to her teacher adopting her.

In senior high, Evara met Rune Vindicta, who showed her kindness. They started a relationship and eventually moved in together with Rune's parents' consent. They lived together for 13 years without having children, as Rune didn't want any.

Rune accumulated debt, forcing Evara to work multiple part-time jobs to pay off loans using her own bank account. Evara worked 48 hours non-stop, juggling three jobs.

Unbeknownst to Evara, Rune started an affair with Arikan Chan, a young Japanese coworker. Evara discovered the infidelity.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Leone Montevero, Evara's former math student, searched for her in Manila. He had fond memories of her tutoring. Upon finding her, he was surprised she didn't recognize him.
