At the wedding of Awiyao and his new bride Madulimay, Awiyao and Lumnay, his former wife, have a talk about the situation that they are in.
During this talk, Awiyao explains to Lumnay that she shouldn’t be mad at him because he is only marrying Madulimay to have children and if it didn’t work out, he would surely return to Lumnay but Lumnay was evidently crushed by his decision to marry another woman and walked into the mountain and waited for him to come back to her.
