generation of Montecarlos’ family. She was named after the death of the
Montecarlos’ youngest daughter which is Carmelita Montecarlos, way back 18th
century. Carmela travelled through time in the year 1892, to complete a certain
quest.
It
all started when Carmella visited their province to celebrate her grandmother’s
birthday. Upon arriving, Carmella was brought by her grandma to a secret door
wherein a mysterious picture was hanged on a wall. She was greatly shock upon
realizing that the painted woman looks exactly like her, every detail was of
obscure that made her think of numerous questions. Her grandma told her that
learning the family’s recipe is a must, and before learning, a diary was given
to her. After few days of staying on their province, they all bid goodbye as
they go back to Manila.
Few
days later, Carmella was walking on a hall at their university when an old man
passes by her. She was quite curious of what was the old woman tightly holding
on. She was merely outrage upon looking at the familiar book the woman was
holding. She called the old lady to stop from walking but it did not pay
attention, so she follows her. Her bare foot brings her to the Arc of
Centuries. She had doubts of entering in because of certain hearsay, that
whosoever goes into the facility might have the chance not to graduate. But
thinking an angry grandma scolding her because of the book she loss is not a
good one. Her mind was then full of hesitations, but before she knew what to
decide, she was pushed down the floor by the old lady, and everything went
black.
Her
head was still aching when she woke up, she was startled upon seeing people
from a different outfit, an 18th century-based look. She had also
noticed that the placed changed, but the shocking part was that she was also
wearing a long dress same as others, and the people around her, are calling her
another name, “Carmelita”. She was screaming out loud, trying to explain she
was not Carmelita and that she came from the year 2018. But the people just
laughed at her, concluding, she must be crazy and went out of her mind. And
then an old lady came across, and brings Carmella in her office.
The
lady introduces herself as Madamme Olivia. She explains everything that
happened to Carmella has a purpose. She told her that she was stuck in the year
1892 to change the destiny of Juanito and Carmelita, and that if she fails to
do her mission, she might not come back to the present. Madamme Olivia gives
her back an empty diary, to write down her own story. She also warned Carmella
not to go out unless permitted. But because Carmella was hard-headed and too
curious to know the truth, she manages to escape the room and goes out.
When
Carmella was about to cross the street, she was almost hit by a “Calesa”, but
saved by a man, Juanito. Carmela went out of conscious, and was carried by Juanito
back home. From then, their story of love started. Carmella and Juanito learns
to love each other through time. She had also met Carmelita’s friends who were
always there by her side, Sonya which is the sister of Juanito, and Helena,
Juanito’s secret lover.
From
that time, she had also discover that Carmelita is the only one who loves
Juanito but Juanito can’t love her back for he had a secret relationship with
Helena.
Days
after, Carmella with her family attended the Montecarlos’ thanksgiving party.
Carmella and Juanito agreed to take a walk. Unfortunately, they were caught by
their parents near a mango tree, alone by themselves. Their parents suspected
that both of them are having a secret relationship and both parties agreed to
let their daughter and son be married. Helena got hurt upon receiving the news
and warns Carmella to break their friendship if she would not refuse the
marriage. Before their engagement party started, Helena and Juanito are caught
together causing the marriage of Juanito and Carmella to be stop. Juanito’s
parents decided that he must be married to Helena and forgot about Carmella.
While Carmella’s father, agreed that Leandro, Carmella’s suitor, would be
married to him.
As
days passed, Juanito became a close friend to Carmella, she had also discovered
a lot of things concerning her family’s secret. He had also met Eduardo, the
secret boyfriend of Maria, which is Carmella’s ancestors, and her older sister
Josefina, who served the church. Months came across and Juanito finally falls
in love with Carmella. He had expressed his feelings to Carmella, and luckily,
she accepted Juanito’s offer of love. But even though they were in love with
each other, both of them were against all odds. A lot of tragedies happen and
they were parted away from each other.
On the day of Carmella’s wedding with
Leandro, she had discovered the answer to her quest. It was Carmelita all along
who killed Juanito for he can’t love her back. She planned the revenge and
hired a general to shoot Juanito directly on his chest. But all thanks to
Carmella for changing their destiny, she had finally completed her mission and
was sent back to the present. But before going back to the present, Juanito
have read Carmella’s diary and knew the truth, she then made a necklace with a
name carved on it, “Carmella”, and painted Carmella’s picture. Carmella was
taken back to the present to continue her own life. While Juanito remained on
the year 1892, hoping for Carmella’s comeback. However, Carmella remained on
the present year, leaving Juanito alone. Years and years passed by, Juanito got
old and died at the age of 90. While Carmella on the other hand, died single.
Carmella’s diary was preserved through time, but before dying, Carmella wished
that their story would be written again. And so, their soul was reborn and
reincarnated, to continue their uprooted love.
