Wedding Dance” by Amador Daguio. Suggest a solution for
the conflicts you have identified.
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.
On the night of the wedding, Awiyao goes to
his Lumnay’s 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 tribe’s 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 tribe’s
tradition of having to marry another partner just to have a
child.
