Long long time ago there was a village in Sto.
Tomas where a young beautiful maiden named
Emilia lived. Emelia was pure at heart; she was
the eldest of the three children of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Cardenas. Tough of having the kind of
situation but despite the struggle Emelia was
rooted believing that she will raise her siblings
as better as she could and eventually stood as
their parent. Her parents death was a
nightmare to their family, since like Emelia her
parents is as good and kind as her. They died on
murder due to the jealousy that the other
neighbour felt because of the blessings and,
simple but happy living of the family. Justice for
her parents death was not served appropriately
due to insufficiency of money to make things
handled on the court.
Emelia felt sorry unto it, but she
never even think of giving up, instead
she thought of ways on how to make
things better especially to her siblings.
Many were the years passed that
Emelia raised her siblings gracefully.
Until such time that she met a
handsome and rich man named Marco.
Marco fell madly in love to Emelia and
in return Emelia did the same.
The lovers got married and live a
happy life. Marco was a good husband
then, but has a bad relationship to his
parents. Though rich, Marco has grown
up as a battered child.
Everything seems fine until the time come
that Marco was already adopting the things he
had undergone when he was still young. He
made Emelia a battered wife and did such over
and over again. Talking trash words to Emelia
and believing that she married him for money
and for Emelias’ siblings to live well. ‘Poor’
Emelia thought, she may be poor before
marrying Marco, but she never thought of
marrying for money. Because of harassments she
got over the years, Emelia decided to bring
things to justice. She put everything to court.
After the long run process of her case Emelia
definitely won the case over her husband. From
that day on, Emelia somehow lived a life in the
smartest and brave way as she could.
