Her home district opposed this, while the boy’s district wanted this, causing political tension. When the couple was meeting, the two groups descended into warfare. To avoid bloodshed for their societies, the couple decided to break up and only secretly meet once a year on the anniversary, at Khau Vai. Since then the area has become a dating spot for couples.
