Matapat na kaibigan
Mamahalin na kaibigan
   Ang Unang Binibining Heneral

Goyo let out a few sobs. He remembered why she did that, he remembered she was at  his side. Then there was a shot that ran through the air, we thought none of them got hit. But we wrong. So wrong.

"G-goy-yo..." Maria said, The boy general whip his head around. And was horrified on what he saw, she fell on her knees, holding her wound on her left cheek near the lips. Goyo haste fully came near to her, grabbing her in the process trying to stop the blood from leaking further.

"Mediko!" He shouted—panic and terror was written on his face, he looked at his comrades also shouting medic in the process. He looked back at the girl general in concern "Maria? Maria wag kang magpikit ng mga mata, papunta na ang mediko" he said while holding her close, checking her if she is still breathing every second.

He was still holding her, he adjusted her in his arms and got his pistol in his right hand, looking for enemies in the other end.

"Goy-yo," he looked at Maria, holding her tightly but comfortably "hindi...ko na ... kaya... goyo.." she said tears rolling down her eyes. "Uy, kaya mo to Maria. Kaya mo wag kalang mawalan ng malay" he said while shooting for incoming Americans. She rested her head on his shoulder "goyo....pwede mo...alagaan mo si....remedios...at...at sabihin mo...na... mahal..na..mahal...ko...siya..." she said lastly, her eyes motionless, she stopped breathing, her blood slowly growing colder.

Goyo looked at Maria, and shook her calling her name. He already put down his gun, and began to shake her awake anger, sorrow, shouting in sadness. Everyone stopped shooting, in doing so they heard the distraught cry of the boy general to his friend.

"Maria, tagal na ako hindi nakapunta rito. Pasensiya na matagal na, dahil binantayan ko ang aking asawa at ang mga bata ko. Pinagngalan namin ang bunsong anak sayo. At..at inialagaan ko rin si Remedios. Sana masaya ka na doon sa langit." He said with a sad smile, removing the old flowers with new ones. In doing so he found a note, a nlte that let him shed tears. It was Maria's hand writing.

'Kaibigan kong batang heneral, sana naman na nakita mo itong telegrama. Mababasa mo rin ito, kung patay na ako. Masaya kong masasabi na inialagaan mo si Remedios, sana naman mataas ang inyong mga buhay. Wag mo rin kalimutan ang aking mga kaibigan, sila rin ang sumoporta sa akin at sayo noong naging heneral tayo. Goyong kung makita mo ito, wag mong kalimutan na andito lang ako at ang mga kaibigan ko.
Mahal na mahal ko kayong dalawa ni Remedios, Goyo.

Ang iyong kaibigan,
Maria Luna Fernando'

He pulled the letter close to him, shedding tears.

"Mahal ko kayong dalawa goyo, paalam na rin"
