 Love in the Cornhusk - Aida
Rivera Ford
The story revolves around the consequences of making decisions based on an assumption. It began with
Tinang, a soon-to-be mother of two, visiting the Señora, whom she formerly worked for as household maid.
The two conversed about Tinang’s future and her present wellbeing as she is soon to bear another child.
Tinang’s husband was part of the Bagobo Tribe. It crossed her mind to think how things would have been had a
certain ‘Amado’, one of the Señora’s tractor drivers, be present in her life. Tinang asked the Señora if she
would like to be a ninang of her child, which the Señora happily agreed to. As Tinang was about to leave, the
Señora informed her of a letter which was addressed to Tinang. She hurriedly gets the letter from the baryo
drugstore and found a spot near a Kamansi Tree to read the letter, while it was still raining.

Tinang discovered that that the letter was from Amado, her long past lover. She found out that Amado
still loved her even though he left without a word. The letter told of his mother’s passing and that it became the
reason he was not able to write and go back. She felt remorse for not waiting. She reminisced her joyful past
with Amado and the decision of accepting Inggo, a Bagobo Tribesman who owned 2 hectares of land, to be her
husband. All this came back to her until she noticed a snake was sneaking towards her baby. She swiftly takes
her child; not noticing her very first love letter was left among the cornhusks.
