fastforward. she later got married to a man who truly cared for her, had 2 daughters, and for some years seemed to have gotten the emotional stability that evaded her for years.
one day she came to visit, and her language had changed. i mean, nagsige na man ug panaway sa pinas. suko ko. hoy, i said, hilom aron di ta ka ipa-deport. (that's how we talk; no holds barred.) maayo man gyod siyang tawo intawon. besides, pareha baya mig reklamo; ang kasaba sa simbahan kun misa. di ta kapangadye ug tarong. mas daghan lang siyag reklamo kay sa nako kay hasta salesgirls iya mang panawayon. kinahanglan ug dugay-dugay pang adjustment, hehe.
problema lang, karon, she discovered that her husband has another family. and a son. (she had daughters with him.) i don't know how she's coping now. she had wanted a divorce and had asked her husband to leave; tubag ra man pod kuno ang bana nga iya baya pod ang ilang balay. in other words, he does not want a divorce. i trust in that friend's courage. she had survived one tragedy before, she'll survive this one too. i hope. but, yes, she initially got married to another man for citizenship's sake.
