Chapter Twenty [ The Classmates]

The preparations for the October feast in Benguet Mountain excite everyone as Rhoda returns to her extended family life.

While Rhoda searches for her Kuya Caloy, and cousins who have turned rebellious, she rushes to find her husband and children, who have happily reconnected with relatives' simple ways of life.

"How are my beloved honey and children doing?" she exclaims.

"Mommy!"

Robert excitedly exclaims upon Rhoda's sudden appearance in the living room. She kisses her husband tenderly on the forehead and crumples his son’s hair as signs of giggle and she takes her young infant Ruth from his father's arms to breastfeed making her feel delighted as a nursing mother.
