Plotting of the story
Introduction
Dodong made the decision to marry Teang. He's only seventeen, but he thinks he's mature enough to marry. He asks his father for permission and receives his father's blessing, even though his father is aware that Dodong is too young to marry.
Rissing Action
Dodong has a firstborn child, Blas. Dodong couldn't contain his joy and felt embarrassed because he is still unable to support his family.
Climax
Teang secretly wished he hadn't married at such a young age, and she wondered if it would have been the same if he had married Lucio instead. If she had the same life she does. While Dodong recognized the challenges and difficulties of marrying at such a young age.
Falling Action
Blas was overjoyed when he arrived home late at night. He told his father that he planned to marry Tona, whom he had asked for her hand in marriage the night before. Dodong didn't want Blas to marry just yet because he had been through what he is going through. Blas, on the other hand, was adamant about marrying Tona.
Denoma
Dodong tried to convince Blas to rethink because he does not want Blas to end up like him. Blas has already made his decision. Dodong does not want Blas to marry because he is young, but love, as they say, is so powerful. Dodong eventually agreed to Blas' want, and history was repeated itself.
