Maria Callista Esquivel was a papa's girl.
Loved gently. Raised softly. Protected quietly.
So she never imagined she would fall for a man who would slowly break her.
The kind of love she only used to read in books and watched on tv - where a woman keeps choosing the wrong man,
even when her heart is already begging her to stop.
Until she finally found the courage to walk away.
And while she was healing the quiet, unseen battle scars she carried within her,
she met someone.
And for the first time,
she didn't feel like she had to fight for love.
She didn't feel like she had to beg for it,
or bargain just to be chosen.
Because with him, love came gently...
A familiar kind of love.
Like a cold breeze across their farm,
even under the burning Nueva Ecija sun -
it finally felt like home.
