WE CAN SAY THAT THESE SITUATIONS STILLHAPPEN IN THE PRESENT TIMES. EVEN WITH

GREAT INNOVATIONS AND ADVANCEMENTS, IFAWIYAO AND LUMNAY WILL LIVE IN TODAYS ERA,

THEY CAN STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAMESITUATION, BUT PERHAPS PRESENTED IN

ANOTHER WAY. THERE ARE A LOT OF BARRIERSTHAT MAKE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AWIYAO

AND LUMNAYS TRAGIC LOVE STORY THROUGHTIME. BUT I BELIEVE THESE BARRIERS

CANT HINDER GREAT LOVE THAT CONTINUALLYGROWS AND IS FELT FOR LIFE EVEN WITH

BARRICADES BLOCKING IT, LIKE THAT OF AWIYAOAND LUMNAY. THEY MAY BE SEPARATED

ETERNALLY: HIS BODY WOULD NOT ANYMORE BEHERS, BUT HIS HEART WOULD STILL BE -

FOREVER!
