Plot:
Dodong wanted to marry Teang and asked his father's permission. Thinking that since they are young, their love would be short, he allowed them to get married. After nine months, Teang gave birth to a child named Blas. For six consecutive years, a new child came along. Teang did not complain even thought she secretly regretted being married at an early age. Sometimes she even wondered if she would have the same life if Lucio, her other suitor who was nine years older than Dodong, was the one she married. Lucio has had no children since the time he married. When Teang and Dodong were twenty they looked like they were fifty.
When Blas was 18, he told his father that he would marry Tona. Dodong did not object, but tried to make Blas think twice before rushing to marriage - because Dodong doesn't want Blas to end up like him.
A young man wants to get married. Reluctantly, his father gives his approval, believing the marriage will be short-lived. The couple have seven children. The wife secretly regrets that she got married so young. She also compares her husband to an ex-boyfriend, who is childless. When their first child is the same age the father was when he got married, all the father can hope is that his son's life is better than his.
