6. Tinang discovers after reading the love
letter from her first love, Amado, that
she is still loved by him. However, by
then, she is already married to a
Bagobo and has a son with him.

7.  The plot type of the story is in medias res
because it starts at the middle of the story and
we identified it because there is a scene in the
story that tinang remembered her first love.
 The plot device used is flashback, when tinang
remembered her first love, Amado.

8.  Tinang visited Senora with her baby and
she wanted to see Senora. They talked
about tinang’s marriage and the baptismal
of tinang’s child and tinang wants senora to
be a ninang of her child.

it to Tinang and she said that the
letter is in the pharmacy and tinang
pick it up in the pharmacy.

10. Tinang read the letter of Amado and
Amado said why is he leaving and he
said his feelings for Tinang.

she and Amado are lovers and she
saw a snake nearby and she checked
her baby if it has a bite.

12.  Tinang throw the letter in the cornhusks and
went home. Tinang choose her family over
Amado and Tinang forgets Amado.

13. The type of conflict is Man vs man,
the conflict is shown when tinang
read the letter of Amado for her and
she realized that Amado still love her
but she has a husband and she has a
child.

14. The theme of the story is about
pertaining that true love waits
and no matter how long the time
you will wait for the person you
love

15. Brokenheart – Because the story is
about love of aida and her first love
but aida has a husband and child.
Watch – Because true love waits.

16. From feminism point of view because
in the story aida is working for
Senora and just like other woman in
the story they are working for senora
and showing that female can work
hard also.
