Breaking Dawn (Zalueta): La Greta’s Triumph!

The marital dialogue started a few days ago but it was only on that breezy yet warm Sunday morning that Mr. & Mrs. Stone finally agreed on the best conclusion to their amazing narrative of two years.


La Greta’s room looked rather solemn on that particular day despite its colorful décor of various mementos collected by her and her husband from their travels around the world. Neither the neatly piled collection of books nor the colorful packs of Tipco & Squeeze Orange Juices could reduce the solemnity of the room. The somber mood was further emphasized by the view of the always poised La Greta standing by the window with eyes transfixed to the receding water of Chao Phraya River from the distance. Mr Stone meanwhile was at the bed, sitting there nervously, perhaps awaiting La Greta to speak. On a normal day like this, Mr & Mrs Stone would have been in each other arms, lying on bed talking about the future, a truly romantic sight that could send Rexona Gomorra into a fit of rage.

La Greta couldn’t help but see herself from the subsiding water. It’s the metaphor for her struggle and current disposition, for what she has gone through since the dialogue of goodbye has started. Like the river overwhelmed with floodwater hence swelling like never before, La Greta was overwhelmed with pain at first that her feelings got the best of her. She cried and questioned her worth. However, a few days more of talking, slowly but surely, La Greta, independent and mature woman she is, was able to understand and accept the reality. That true love allows you to set someone free however you still love to keep that person.

The goodbye episode must have been really seamless that La Greta’s friends never noticed the difference on both. On that particular Sunday noon, both La Greta and ex husband came and join the picnic at the park organized by the mother of perpetual drama, La Dehada, without any trace of trouble from their faces & actions. This prompted Juliana Corona-Horn to keep on repeating how relaxed Mr. Stone was unlike before. Undeniably, this made Mr. Stone uneasy as he thought, La Greta had already divulged the news and that Juliana was being sarcastic to him. He opted feeding the monitor lizards as a result.

“I never wanted to spoil the day!” La Greta said when asked why she never shared the news during the picnic. I couldn’t help but admire her class and level of maturity.

Breaking up is certainly not the most pleasant situation to be in, but, in La Greta’s case, since the dialogue was between two mature adults who were fully aware of their wins and losses over the ending they were headed to, the conclusion arrived at was bittersweet yet friendly. Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher, there you have the picture!

Indeed, the former power couple ended their story on a very good note. A very good precedent for those who are next in line. Miss Rexona Gomorra, please don’t look at me or Martina Negra or Lady B!
