In a remote town in the Northeast there is a beautiful young woman whose name is Liwayway.
The beauty of Liwayway extends to far-flung towns. It is no wonder why so many of her lovers have become lovers.
From the north a group of hunters made their way to Liwayway. Unfortunately, Tanggol, one of them was attacked by pigs. The young man was taken to Liwayway's father for first aid. That was the way they came.
Liwayway and T defense have been in love for each other for a short time.
When Tanggol was healed, he said goodbye to Liwayway and his parents. The young man said the father would be called to formally request the hand of the girl.
Liwayway was full of dreams when Tanggol was brought to the scene.
But Liwayway's hopes soon faded that Tanggol would return as promised. It has been several months since he left, but he has received no news.
An ex-lover thinks Tanggol is bad. It spread the word that Tanggol would never return because he was married.
Sadness, sadness, resentment and jealousy overcame her heart. She got sick. Being the only cure for the illness, the girl became ill for a few weeks and died.
Before he died he could not speak but words,
“We swear! I curse you…"
The words “I swear to you! I swear to you… ”Lwayway was the only one left with Tanggol.
A few days after Liwayway was buried, Tanggol arrived with the parents. It was not immediately returned because the mother was ill. The young man could not accept that the beloved woman was gone.
In a deep sigh of relief, Tanggol's tears nearly touched every day of Liwayway's grave. He never returned to his hometown to watch over his girlfriend's grave.
One day Tanggol noticed something on Liwayway's grave. There was a plant there, a plant that was constantly watering her tears. When the plant blooms, it has an aroma that is in the aroma. Called your 'curse on you', were the last words spoken by Liwayway before his death. 'Curse you' is the origin of the word 'Sampaguita'.
Nice story 👌👍
