"It is best for us to chew betel-nut for it is bad for us to talk when we do not know each other's names." Aponibolinayen did not wish to chew, but when Aponitolau urged her she chewed and they told their names. "My name is Aponitolau of Kadalayapan who is the son of Pagbokásan and Langa-an."
Old man Pagbokásan took Aponibolinayen from the jar, and put her inside of his belt, so they went. As soon as they arrived there the families who made the balaua went to meet them at the gate of the town and made alawig for them.
As soon as she said this they went and they drank, and Pagbokásan said to them. "This is reserved for Aponibolinayen to drink when she returns from fighting." When the old woman had finished cooking, she took the rice from the jar and put it on the woven basket, and she took the meat from the jar and put it in the coconut shells, and so they ate.
We will have a good time during pakálon," they said. After that Langa-an and Pagatipánan said, "Now the meal is ready. We are going to eat first and after that you will hear what we say." And Pagbokásan and Ebang did not wish to eat for they were in a hurry and only went to hear if they wished Dangdangáyan to be the husband of Aponigawani.
So Langa-an took her hat which looked like the Salaksák and her new skirt. As soon as she dressed she started and went. When she arrived in Kaodanan Pagbokásan was lying down in his balaua. "Good morning," she said to him. Pagbokásan was a in hurry to sit up and he said to her, "I am glad to see you, what are you coming here for in the middle of the day." "What am I coming for you say?
Not long after he said, "My name is Algaba of Dagála. I have looked in all parts of the world for a wife, but I did not find anyone like you, and now I have found you, and I want you to be married to me." "My name is Aponibolinayen of Kaodanan, sister of Aponibalagen who are son and daughter of Ebang and Pagbokásan," said Aponibolinayen.
Not long after they arrived in the place where Balbalaoga lived and were surprised at the big golden house, and Balbalaoga and Aponibolinayen were watching them from the window, and they went to the yard of the house. Ebang and Pagbokásan did not believe that Balbalaoga was their son, so they chewed betel-nut. As soon as they chewed they found out that he was the after-birth of Awig.
Not long after Aponitolau heard that Aponibolinayen was with her brother in Dona. He went to follow her, for he intended to live with her again. Ebang and Pagbokásan took Balbalaoga and Aponibolinayen to Kaodanan, and they used their power so that all the things which the alan had given to Balbalaoga went to Kaodanan.
As soon as they gave all the jars which they paid, Iwaginan ordered them to play the gansas and they danced. After they danced, all their relatives who went to attend pakálon were anxious to go home for they had been there one month. "Do not detain us, for we are one month here." So Pagbokásan let them go. Everyone carried home some jars and they all went home.
After that they went home and sent all the heads before them and also the plunder. After that they arrived in Kaodanan. "Good afternoon, Uncle," said Dangdangáyan to old man Pagbokásan. "Come up the ladder," he said. "You go and cook so that these boys may eat," he said. After that, "You go and get one jar of basi which you used to like when you were young," said his wife Ebang.
