When two young people from opposite social poles develop feelings for each other, expect them to deliver the pathos of a forbidden love, like what Michael (Nash Aguas) and Isabel (Charlie Dizon) depict in the Kapamilya series A Soldier’s Heart. And as we anticipate where their love story is heading to, here’s a Kapamilya Toplist showing bits and pieces of their inspiring tale.
It all began when Michael stopped Isabel’s car at a checkpoint, unaware of her standing. This leads to a bad first impression that was easily soothed when he took care of her in the hospital after a hostage-taking crisis. Just as when their friendship was starting to blossom, however, Isabel’s father Governor Amer Gezali (Richard Quan) disapproved of the budding romance due to differences in religion and social status.
The father’s worrisome concern is rooted from his own experience. He knows the intricacies of religious conversion and he doesn’t want Isabel to go through the same sufferings.
This did not destroy Michael’s tenacity that even when confronted by the intimidating governor, he was unfazed by his imposing command. That night, Michael stood his ground and made his intentions clear. He said Islam and Christianity revolve around the same principles of peace and love; and he made a vow to never hurt Isabel.
As he worked on his promise of proving himself worthy of Isabel’s love, Michael worked hard to earn a Scout Ranger’s badge. He finally did. Michael disguised as a delivery guy just to be able to enter the Gezali mansion and show Isabel his certificate, the only accomplishment he could be proud of, so far. The soldier dedicated his feat to the woman who owns his heart, telling her that she’s always been his biggest motivation. Michael’s loud tenacity coupled with his charming gestures made that scene special.
Nothing, however, could change Amer’s decision to keep Isabel away from Michael. He forced Isabel in an arranged marriage with another guy from an influential family. Isabel tried to defy his father’s demand but the sight of Michael being tortured broke her heart into pieces. She cupped his bloodied face and told him she loves him. But Isabel had to break up with Michael despite his pleas as the only way to stop his suffering. Isabel walked out of Michael’s sight, then, told her father that she’d be up for the wedding in exchange of Michael’s safety.
The next scene shows Michael reading Isabel’s letter about her wedding. Will Michael manage to still fight for his love for Isabel? Don’t miss the next episodes of A Soldier’s Heart on the Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live.
