Many years ago, in a small town in Olongapo,
There was a couple named Candida and Pedro.
Happily married and have a children of two,
Who's one year older than his younger bro.
And then Candida was so pre-occupied as a wife and a mother,
Has resigned to her work and become full time baby-sitter.
But then got exhausted and somewhat needed a helper,
So, she encouraged her younger sister...
Then came lovely, young Carlota arrived at their duplex house,
She just graduated high school from the highland.
Now, she's a baby-sitter to her nephew from feeding cows,
Seeing her brother in law,how she wish to find someone like him to be her husband.
Pedro was not a handsome guy,
Just a cute one with oozing sex appeal.
Having an aura that says "I am not gonna lie."
And how he found her wife sister's face like an angel.
He seem's so fond of her very quick,
Just a few days, can't wait a week.
The feelings are mutual...
And being near to each other,
Every things became abnormal,
And always there's a need to be together.
But it seems like it would be a long wait
They must be patient.
Because Candida is always present,
And Pedro gazing Carlota's face there's no way to remain a saint.
Whenever his wife is busy,
And Carlota is off duty.
He alibis before her off that he's out of town for a business meeting,
And tell his wife that his Boss will soon stop frowning.
His trusting wife never doubt him whatsoever he say,
She's just a proud Mother who focus her attention to her baby.
Carlota knows what she had been doing,
She had done everything to fight the feeling.
She said there's nothing she can do,
When he felt the same way too.
He said "they meet each other in such a wrong time",
If only before marrying his wife now he had seen the sign
They felt so guilty inside,
But their love is so strong and wide.
Wide enough to say i don't care,
Pedro and Carlota are getting ready,
There are lots of things that they needed to prepare.
Sooner or later they will be both busy.
There will be a broken home,
There would be wounded and bleeding heart.
There would be a baby that has no father,
Soon...they're planning to elope,
But Pedro and Candida got no hope...
To be continue.
