For both Joy (Alexa) and Maya (Lorna), the prison walls have grown to be the extension of their home. The unlikely circumstance of Alexa’s character falling in love with an inmate poses various complications in the sense of normalcy. Love is Definitely Blind for Joy Because of Maya’s imprisonment due to drugs in the year 2008, Joy would visit her Mom in the Isabela prison. She was only 14 when she first entered the prison walls. Two years later, Joy meets an inmate named Rustom (Edgar Allan Guzman) with whom she instantly falls in love with. Naturally, her mother, Maya, is against the said relationship. Despite this, the couple still goes on with their newfound love. When Rustom gets transferred to the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Manila, Joy decides to leave her home in Isabela to also live in Manila nearer Rustom. By this time, Maya has come to forgive her daughter to the point that she supports the relationship while she works in prison. From Bad to Worse – Rustom’s True Self Revealed After about six years, Joy gives birth to her first child with Rustom. But then her world changes upon finding about Rustom’s betrayal. He had an affair with someone else. Heartbroken, Joy decides to go back home to Isabela and live with her mom who is finally released from Prison. Within that same year, however, Rustom finishes his sentence and asks Joy to go back to Manila with him. When Joy said yes to this, things only go from bad to worse. She realizes that Rustom is not the man she first came to know. He became violent and abusive. As a mother, Maya sees all this and only desires her daughter to come home to her. Will Joy finally decide? Maalaala Mo Kaya airs at ABS-CBN every Saturday at 8:15 PM.
