My wife has been paralyzed, and for four months we haven’t shared any int:ima:cy.

Dindo, a 34-year-old sales executive, saw his marriage to Hanna, once vibrant and loving, shatter after a car accident left her paralyzed. Struggling with months of caregiving and no intimacy, Dindo grew distant and succumbed to an affair with coworker Trish during a Tagaytay business trip, neglecting Hanna for ten days. Returning home, he was stunned to find Hanna standing, having regained mobility through therapy she kept secret to test his loyalty. She confronted him with footage of his infidelity, revealing his betrayal to his family.

Hanna’s words—“the most paralyzed person wasn’t me”—crushed him. She filed for annulment, took the house, and Dindo lost his job and honor. Months later, jobless and broken, he saw Hanna thriving with another man. A chance encounter with Hanna’s therapist, Leah, sparked reflection. Dindo chose solitude, therapy, and small acts of redemption, like supporting Hanna’s foundation. Passing by the bakery again, he smiled and walked on, beginning to rebuild himself from the ashes.
