CONCLUSION

The story opened with a brief introduction of where the author was. The author, Mr. Santos, was asked to speak before an audience. He met Celestino Fabia ("just a Filipino farmer" as he called himself) the night Mr. Santos left his hotel. In the course of the Mr Santos’ discussion, Mr. Fabia, asked how the Filipino women of today were different from the stereotype he was familiar with. After the lecture, Mr. Fabia told Mr. Santos about his farm and his family and invited him over to his house They finally arrived in the farm, the fragrance of apples diffusing all over the place. Mr. Santos finally met the wife of Mr Fabia and his son Roger. They invited Mr. Santos to their humble home and catered him with food. The author found a picture of an anonymous Filipina wearing a traditional costume – another manifestation of how dire Mr. Fabia’s nostalgia is. He bade farewell to the family and Mr. Fabia took him back to the hotel. He offered to send news to his family when he got back to the Philippines but Mr. Fabia refused, saying that they might have already forgotten him. They shook each other’s hand and said goodbye.
