Filentino Arezais a local telegraph clerk and a prolific poet, whose handsome appearance and romantic temperament give him a poetic charm. Like all poets, sentimentality is Areza's most distinctive character trait.
Ariza knew she had met the love of her life when she chanced upon the beautiful girl Fermina Dara So he began to express his love to Fermina Dara in letters. Fermina Dara was also gradually moved by Ferrentino Areza's words. But just as the two were about to fall in love, Fermina Dara's father learned of their relationship and was furious. He vowed to separate them forever.
Many years have passed, and Fermina Dara has become the wife of a nobleman Obino (. When a sudden cholera hit Cartagena, Obino became the backbone of the fight against the plague, bringing a large amount of medicine to the city. To avoid cholera, Obino sent Fermina Dara to live in France, and a few years later brought her back to Cartagena. At this time, Fermina Dara had become a wealthy lady, and her first love, which died halfway, had already been forgotten by her.
Poets are always emotional. Because of this, poets are always showing mercy at every turn, and some poets will sometimes be unswerving and pour all their emotions into one person. Filentino Areza unfortunately became the latter. Years have passed, and he is no longer the shy boy he used to be. Now he has his own business and wealth, and a bunch of lonely women to send, but he still misses Fermina Dara. He was willing to wait his whole life just to start over with Fermina Dara.
