Ria Atayde takes on a challenging role painting the torment of one-sided love in the afternoon series “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/nagaapoynadamdamin">Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin</a>.” While she’s pegged as a ‘kontrabida,’ her character’s journey crushes the hearts of viewers, especially those who’ve been through the same situation. And she delivers so well that the sadness and pain emanating from Melinda is too palpable.By the time you finish watching this Kapamilya Toplist video, you will get a grasp of the devastating portrait of begging somebody to love you back.Melinda is the kind of woman who is fierce in anything she does, and that includes loving a man who is still obsessed with his past. We’re talking about the way she offers her heart to Lucas (Tony Labrusca) despite the obvious fact that he couldn’t truly love her as a wife. They tied the knot, but it won&#x27;t take a genius to know that Lucas married her only because she was always available. Yet, no matter the season, she was there for him.In her heart, she believed that Lucas’ proposal was genuine until the red flags got clearer. Pushed to her limits, she confronted him about his feelings for his ‘dead’ wife, Olivia (Jane Oineza). He couldn’t give an exact answer, only that it’s clear who he married. But Melinda demands that she be treated as a wife, and not just an option to fill the void that Olivia left. She&#x27;s had enough of competing with a dead ex-wife. Lucas didn’t say a word. He pulled her close, but even his embrace felt lifeless.Flashback scenes revealed that Melinda was the best friend that any mother would love to have for her son. It’s no surprise Victoria (Maila Gumila) has always wanted her for Lucas. She&#x27;s been in love with Lucas, her best friend, since their law school days. She assumed that he felt the same. There was a time when she thought Lucas would confess, but only to be introduced to his girlfriend, Olivia, who never got to win the approval of Lucas’ mother.At present, Melinda tries hard to fulfill her duties as a wife, even to the point of supporting Lucas in his war with Philip (JC de Vera), whom he accuses of killing his father. But her heart breaks whenever Lucas manifests his undying love for Olivia. As she neared her breaking point, she discovered that he frequents a secret room in their house. She felt insane going inside the room, catching her husband looking at Olivia’s portrait as if worshipping her like a saint.Imagine her world crashing down when Lucas came face-to-face with Philip’s wife, Claire, and forced her to recognize him. He even called her “asawa ko.” In these scenes, Ria’s acting becomes explosive, cementing her performance as one of the industry’s rising dramatic actresses. She had Claire investigated and, knitting the clues together, discovered that Claire and Olivia are the same.This love might look ridiculous and delusional, but to Melinda, it’s worth fighting for.
