SUMMARY

Awiyao and Lumnay were husband and wife for seven years, but now the husband has to marry another woman, Madulimay , because Lumnay was not able to give him a child. (In their culture in the mountains during those times, having a child to follow after the husbands name was a must.)
On the night of the wedding, Awiyao goes to his and Lumnays house to personally invite her to the traditional wedding dance. However, Lumnay, the best dancer in the entire tribe, refuses to go. Then, during their conversation, it is revealed that both of them still love each other, but because of their tribes custom, they have to separate.

Awiyao goes back to the wedding, to the wedding dance, after being fetched by some friends. Lumnay wants to follow, partly because of the dance, and partly because she wants to put a stop to their tribes tradition of having to marry another partner just to have a child.

POINT OF VIEW
The point of view is used in this short story is the omniscient limited- the author tells the story in third person. We know only what the character knows and what the author allows him/ her to tell us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of character if the author chooses to reveal them to us.

WE CAN SAY THAT THESE SITUATIONS STILL HAPPEN IN THE PRESENT TIMES. EVEN WITH GREAT INNOVATIONS AND ADVANCEMENTS, IF AWIYAO AND LUMNAY WILL LIVE IN TODAYS ERA, THEY CAN STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME SITUATION, BUT PERHAPS PRESENTED IN ANOTHER WAY. THERE ARE A LOT OF BARRIERS THAT MAKE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AWIYAO AND LUMNAYS TRAGIC LOVE STORY THROUGH TIME. BUT I BELIEVE THESE BARRIERS CANT HINDER GREAT LOVE THAT CONTINUALLY GROWS AND IS FELT FOR LIFE EVEN WITH BARRICADES BLOCKING IT, LIKE THAT OF AWIYAO AND LUMNAY. THEY MAY BE SEPARATED ETERNALLY: HIS BODY WOULD NOT ANYMORE BE HERS, BUT HIS HEART WOULD STILL BEFOREVER!
