Solution

The characters in the text are communicating through their actions and thoughts. Teang, the main character, is expressing her feelings and thoughts internally. She is not directly communicating her feelings of regret and exhaustion to her husband, Dodong. Instead, she is keeping her feelings to herself, crying sometimes and wishing she had not married.

Dodong, on the other hand, is unaware of Teang's feelings. The text does not mention any direct communication between Dodong and Teang about her feelings.

The communication channel used here is mainly non-verbal and internal. It's through Teang's actions (crying, working tirelessly) and her internal thoughts and feelings that the reader understands her state of mind.

The text also communicates to the reader through narrative storytelling, giving us insight into the characters' past, their decisions, and their current situation.
