Love is supposed to be lovelier the second time around. People who are given a second chance at love hope they can finally make the relationship work—for keeps. But what if one realizes the comeback is one-sided while the other party is too blind to see reality?

In the case of Pretty Actress (PA) and Handsome Businessman (HB), the affair is rumored to be one-sided. HB is in love with PA and is giddy about it. However, PA is said to be lukewarm.

PA and HB are both established in their respective fields. While HB has opted to take a low-profile stance in his activities, PA is very visible in her work. She meets with people and is always ready to assist with their needs. With their kids already grown and both having ended their previous relationships, kibitzers are puzzled as to why PA is not really into HB.

Perhaps some people are meant to be nothing more than friends. Though PA could have opened her heart to HB years ago, she chose not to. She had several relationships, but HB was never one of them. HB had his own relationships, but even as years passed, he still carried a torch for PA. He’s in love—but she isn’t. Will she break his heart the second time around? Or, with patience and persistence, will HB finally become the one she learns to love after all?

Is the fairytale over? Rumors are growing louder that the marriage of another couple is on the rocks—that is, if they haven’t separated already.

The couple endured several trials before they ended up together. Dashing Groom (DG) grew up with parents who worked hard to build a comfortable life. His mother struggled in establishing herself in the industry, but given her talents, producers learned to trust her. Her subsequent projects molded her into a respected personality. His father, meanwhile, was involved in controversies that were resolved in due time. Thus, DG decided to carve his own path and step out of his parents’ shadow. He succeeded—but love called loudly.

DG went through much to prove himself to His Love (HL). HL was like a blazing meteor when she entered showbiz. Her magnificent presence was impressive, and endorsements soon came one after another. Though she came from a well-to-do family, her drive to prove herself—choosing to forego her professional training for a place in showbiz—was strong. Her reel partnership made fans assume they were the real deal, but rejection beyond the cameras was real.

Coming out as a couple was like hitting a wall for the two. Fans were against HL ending up with DG. The reaction of outsiders didn’t bother them, and the wedding pushed through. Years later, DG was dragged into issues that questioned his reputation. While everyone was shocked, HL stood by him. Her defense, however, was deemed insufficient by fans and kibitzers, forcing her to stop.

Now, the grapevine claims the partnership of the two is no longer sailing smoothly. Are they the ones being referred to in the notorious blind item?
