In this chapter, we find out that izana is pregnant with Atae's baby. We learn that ate and izana were married for a while, but that their marriage was not as successful as they had hoped it would be. They had a child, but it was ugly, and they had to turn it back because the world knew that it was an illegitimate child. This is the same thing that happened to neena when she tried to commit suicide. The world knew about her affair with sukeyo, and she had no choice but to turn him back. She also learned that she was having an affair with another man, and that the other man was also ugly. This makes us wonder if she is pregnant.
