It's been a week since they got back to the Philippines, and they've been apart from each other. Since her father brings Maximo with him wherever he goes. Besides, Maximo was exhausted from the workload her father gave him. Her father orders him to get water from the well, which is unnecessary since they have a water line inside the house. However, her father was persistent in punishing and testing Maximo's patience and determined to prove his love for her. She was beyond thankful because Maximo understood everything without questions or complaints. Even though everything is new to him.
“Mom, look what daddy made Maximo, how pitiful he is, he's a city boy, not a provincial boy.
"Why does father keep making him work this kind of stuff,” she couldn't help but complain.
Her mother laugh
