Dudong
He is the mal lead of the story. He is young and confident. He feels independent enough to marry the love of his life at the tender age of 17 years. He convinces his father for the same and gets married.
However, seven years down the line and with seven children and a weary wife, he starts to questions his impatience as a young man. When his own son wants to get married young he advises him to not let hormones and young love dictate the rest of his life, which is hard.
Teang
She is the muse of Dudong and loves him immensely. She chooses him over another suitor Lucio who is a lot older than her. They both bear seven kids and feel that they made a mistake by marrying so young.

When she hears about Lucio being childless (even years after his wedding) she wonders what would have happened if she picked him, instead of Dudong. However, inspite of her doubts, she is love with her husband and committed to their family.
