damn hurts right in the kokoro. there's a similar Filipino short story set during pre-colonial period like this. it was written during american colonialism but unlike this, the couple love each other and they're married but because they still do not have an offspring despite the years and tries, the chieftain husband is forced to marry another woman while the wife was banished alone. both stories are tragic yet beautifully portrayed by the authors. i love discovering golden works like this
