Posted by Develos

Basilio visits the forest at Christmas Eve.  The wood, formerly owned by the Ibarras, was sold to Captain Tiago.  Basilio visits his mother's grave by the balete tree in the middle of the forest.  A stranger's (Elias's) grave lay beside it.  He recalls a memory of thirteen years before, when Ibarra had helped him cremate the two bodies.  With the help of Captain Tiago Basilio is now studying to be a doctor and plans to marry Juli, his sweetheart.
