There is pain in unrequited love. But it also comes with temporary bliss, and perhaps an opportunity for self-growth and realizing your worth. In the Kapamilya series Walang Hanggang Paalam, Sam (Arci Munoz) is stuck with the pain, though, still taking bullets for Emman (Paulo Avelino) despite the love unreturned.
For Sam, no one would come as perfect as Emman. She looks at him like he’s the best man on earth and she often tells him how much she values his existence. But while she uplifts his spirits with encouragement, he still opts to drown in misery because Celine (Angelica Panganiban), the ex-girlfriend he can’t get over with, looks at him as a worthless partner and father.
She worries a lot about his safety, seeking his whereabouts and asking him to keep her updated even if she doesn’t own the right to. For Sam, the love she feels for Emman goes deeper beyond romantic labels that she made love with him despite the heartbreaking consequences. Her touch and kisses burned with passion even without the assurance of Emman’s love, and even while knowing he’s only intoxicated that night.
Sam never leaves Emman’s side be it an action-packed encounter with the enemies or during his most vulnerable moments. She was there to help him in his pursuit of Robbie (Robbie Wachtel)’s abductors. She was by her side either when he got devastated over Robbie’s ruthless killing. Her effort may not be enough to win Emman’s romantic love yet she didn’t stop trying.
It must’ve been so painful when Sam had to come face to face with Celine, the woman whom Emman pours his heart unto. But even if it breaks her inside, Sam acts unaffected seeing Emman and Celine together and the possibility of the ex-couple rekindling their relationship.
Sam confessed his feelings to Emman a lot of times. She desperately begged for his love at one point. And she always gets the same answer – Emman telling her that he could never return the same kind of love she gives because he’s still in love with Celine. In moments of rejection, Sam swallows the hurt and tries anew.
Blinded by her feelings, she insists that Emman also feels the same way as he once saved her during an operation for the NIA. She holds on to that single incident and her delusional beliefs. Even if she gets rejected over and over again, Sam vows to never stop giving Emman everything that will make him happy, even at the expense of her own life and happiness.
