Amador T. Daguio in that story shows to us an example of a Filipino culture: the story narrates about a patriarchal society- wherein men dominates. For me, i can say that the story was sad in the sense that the two lovers were being departed because of thier culture & tradition even if they love each other. At the same time the story was also unfair to us-girls in the sense that men could leave us anytime if his needs were not met. Like what happen to Lumnay in the story, Awiyao her husband leaves her because they coud not bare a child. So, base on that, the only job of female in that story is to produce an offspring & if she can't do that her husband could leave her because it is against/does not base on thier culture. Because base on thier culture, if men cannot have a child he could be inferior to other men & for that reason we-women were being abandon!
Generally, in that story Amador T. Daguio is trying to tell us that one culture could affect one's feeling, decession and LIVING.
