Maricel Soriano-Aga Mulach-Angelica Panganiban's love triangle in the movie titled "A Love Story" was something that is not really new to society. Last sunday, i went out with my mother to watch this talk of the town movie. We entered the movie house during the part that Aga was prodded by Angelica to play the favorite song of his dad on the piano. So we were aware that Angelica was the legal wife and Maricel was the mistress. But if you would enter the movie house at the start of the film, you would be confused since the movie started with Angelica confronting Maricel inside a restaurant and she was asking Maricel questions bout her relationship with Aga. Going through the movie, you would be made to think that it was Maricel who was the wife of Aga. It was only in the latter part of the movie that the viewers would realize that Angelica was the wife and the reason why Aga fell in love with Maricel was because Angelica was too busy with her work and had no time for her husband.
The movie basically has a lot of lessons for couples. The wife must be able to give enough time and attention for her family as shown in the movie where Aga began complaining when Angelica would always have emergency flights as a stewardess to fill in for her absent co-employees. This actually goes both ways. Both husband and wife must be able to give quality and quantity time to each other. I really love that favorite quote of Dante Rivero (who played Aga’s dad with Alzheimer’s) about flowers and women “Ang babae para bulaklak yan.. wag mo pipitasin kung di mo aalagaan..”
Maricel was the ob-gyne who Aga met when he had an accident while wakeboarding. Maricel herself was heartbroken with her separation from her ex-husband (Mark Gil). They fell in love but Angelica eventually learned about the relationship. Maricel was aware Aga was a married man so she was just as paranoid as Angelica everytime Aga would not be by her side.
In the end, the lesson here is all about loyalty. Be loyal to your partner and talk things out when conflicts would arise. Be ready to forgive and forget (although this is always the hardest part). Angelica struggled on this part during her pregnancy when she would be in constant paranoia to the point that she would look into Aga’s cellphone to check his calls and messages. It is not healthy as Aga got so pissed off with her jealousy. Another lesson is learning to let go. Maricel found it so hard to let go of Aga because she had fallen dearly for him. It was such a brave thing for her to be in front of both Aga and Angelica when she attended to the pregnant Angelica who got stressed out after confronting her in the hospital. She acted as if she did not know Aga and even said “you must be the husband?” but when she went out the room she proceeded to the ladies room to cry her heart out.
Love is all about taking risks. Be prepared to get hurt. Love with all your heart but be sure to reserve some for yourself, so if you get hurt it won’t be that hard to pick up the pieces.
