    The story is about a love triangle
    between Alfredo, Esperanza and Julia
    Under the tree, Alfredo was
    remembering what happened six
    weeks ago…
    One evening, he had gone
    “neighbouring” with Don
    Julian(Alfredo’s father) to Judge del
    Valle’s house wherein he met Julia
    Salas(Judge’s sister-in-law)
    One Sunday morning, after the mass, Esperanza
    indirectly asked Alfredo about the visits they
    did. Uneasy feeling crept into his thoughts
    about the girl next door(Julia). Esperanza
    wanted to know if Alfredo goes straight at
    home after mass. Alfredo realized that after
    every mass, he was excited to go on
    “neighbouring”
    Alfredo answered untruthfully, he said he went
    home to work or sometimes he goes
    neighbouring with Don Julian to Judge del
    Valle’s house
    Esperanza dropped the topic. She believed that
    if a man is engaged, he could not possibly love
    another woman
    Just before the Holy week, Don Julian
    invited Judge del Valle and his family to go
    in Tanda to spend their Sunday afternoon
    there. In Tanda, Don Julian had a coconut
    plantation and a house on the beach
    Julia & Alfredo talked. There was breeze from
    the water. It blew Julia’s hair away on her
    forehead.
    “I hope you’re enjoying this”
    “Very much. It looks like home to me, except we
    do not have such a lovely beach”
    As they talked, Julia said that it might be the
    last time that they’ll see each other.

    “Why did you say this is the last time?” he said


    quietly as they turned back
    “I am going home”
    Alfredo went to church.
    Soon, a row of lights emerged from the church
    down the street like a huge jewelled band
    studded with glitters where the Saint’s
    platforms were
    He saw Esperanza and Esperanza’s mother
    pacing behind Our Lady of Sorrows.
    Esperanza stiffened consciously, tried to
    look unaware but couldn’t.

    The line moved


    The line kept on moving, going away from the
    church and them back again

    After the procession, Alfredo and Julia Salas


    met again. But Julia found out about his
    wedding so she congratulated him
    “Julita, did you ever have to choose between something
    you wanted to do and something you have to do?”

    “NO!”

    “I thought maybe you had that experience; then you


    could understand a man who was in such situation…
    You are fortunate”

    “Is– is this man sure of what he should do?”


    Without lifting her eyes, she quickly
    turned and walked away

    Alfredo went home to Esperanza. They


    talked and there, the last words has been
    said…
    "one tries to be fair--according to his lights--but it
    is hard. One would like to be fair to one's self
    first. But that is too easy, one does not dare--"

    "What do you mean?" she continued "Whatever


    my shortcomings, and no doubt they are many in
    your eyes, I have never gone out of my way, of
    my place, to find a man."
    "Esperanza--" a desperate plea lay in his stumbling
    words. "If you--suppose I--" Yet how could a mere man
    word such a plea?

    "If you mean you want to take back your word, if you
    are tired of--why don't you tell me you are tired of me?"
    she burst out in a storm of weeping that left him
    completely shamed and unnerved.
    The last words has been said
    But still, Alfredo and Esperanza got married

    He was not unhappy in his marriage. He felt no


    rebellion: only the calm of capitulation to what
    he recognized as irresistible forces of
    circumstance and of character.
    After eight years, Alfredo was sent to a distant
    village due to a legal assignment. The place is
    names Sta. Cruz, Julia’s hometown
    He went to Julia’s house and found her there.
    Still unmarried. They talked.
    Then he realized that his love for Julia was
    gone. He felt emotionless.

    So that was all over
