The Debt I Owe You

Bilang lumaki sa hirap, bata pa lang si Hannie ay mulat na siya sa totoong kalakaran ng buhay. Her father died when she was ten, leaving half of the family's responsibilities on her small shoulders as the firstborn. Thus, she worked hard and accepted every opportunity that came her way to be able to finish her studies on time.

But when she did, it still wasn't enough...

Hindi pala sapat na makapagtapos ka ng pag-aaral; na magkaroon ng diploma, makapasa sa board exam, at makakuha ng lisensya. Dahil ang totoong laban ng buhay ay doon pa lang magsisimula. Mabuti na lang at may nag-udyok sa kaniya na mag-apply bilang volunteer teacher sa La Adela. Malayo sa bahay, walang sweldo, pero malaki ang maitutulong nito upang maging permanente siyang guro kaya agad niya itong sinunggaban.

During her stay in the countryside, she met Zeke Barcena. The caretaker of the huge two-storey house that she looked up to and wished to have. The man who gave her a roller-coaster kind of emotions and feelings she thought she wouldn't experience in her life. The person who was willing to give everything just for her to reciprocate his feelings.

Hannie wants to lower her guard and give him the love he deserves, but is love really enough? Mabubuhay ba sila sa purong pagmamahal lang? Paano ang mga pangarap niya? Ang buhay na gusto niyang ibigay sa pamilya niya? Ang paghihirap na ayaw niyang iparanas sa magiging anak niya? Hahayaan na lang ba niya ang lahat ng iyon kapalit ng pag-ibig?

And before she could ever decide... Hannie realized that she had already accumulated a debt to Zeke that she could never repay...
