Things are not anymore as they seemed to be as each of them treads on different path to self-discovery and accomplishment. Gina and Gary are preparing for their wedding when they learn about Gina’s troublesome reproductive system. On the other hand, just when Melanie finally gave her yes to Brian, the latter met an accident and fell in coma. Ese and Joey learned to be sweeter with each other until Joey got his dream car. And lastly, Ricky, who has been long waiting for his Diane lacked the enough courage to confess when Diane came in.
Aning
It is the time of El Niño, a season ruled by superstition and fear. The rain is long in coming, the ground has cracked up dry. The ricestalks are thin and sickly. Villagers go hungry. And a boy dies from a snakebite. The adults splinter. Some pray. Others join a cult to appease earth spirits and wait for the ada, the ricefield spirit goddess of bountiful harvest who dances naked on moonlit nights and signals the need for a virgin’s sacrifice. There are fence sitters, equally pro-church and pro-cult. A landlord’s steward enforces his master’s usury on hapless farmers. A self-righteous priest says rain must first be deserved. Two young women fight for the right to do with their bodies as they please. A bastard boy and a blind girl come of age. Yesterday, they were children.
