As soon as they arrived where Daldalipáto lived, he said, "How are you, Kabkabaga-an? What do you want?" "What do you want, you say. We came to tell you that Aponitolau wants to take Tabyayen." "Do you want to give him up to Aponitolau? If you let him go, it is all right," said Daldalipáto, and Kabkabaga-an said, "All right." So they went home.
When they looked under the talagan they saw Kabkabaga-an, and Aponibolinayen went to take her hand, and they made her dance. As soon as she finished dancing she told Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau that she would go back home. "No, do not go yet, for we will make pakálon for Tabyayen first," said Aponibolinayen. "No, you care for him. I must go home now, for no one watches my house."
"We are going to call him Tabyayen, because it is the name of the people who used to live above," said Gaygayóma. So they called him Tabyayen, and they used their power so that the baby grew all the time. Soon he was big. After three months, "Now Gaygayóma, let me go back down and see Aponibolinayen of Kadalayapan. I think she is searching for me.
As soon as they both were married Tabyayen staid in his house which had been up in the air before. Kanag staid in another house which Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen had. "Look out for our children, Ligi, while I wash my hair," said Ayo. "Yes," said Ligi. As soon as Ayo reached the spring Ligi went to make a basket, in which he put the three little pigs which had little beads around their necks.
She saw that it was Aponitolau, and she was very glad. After one year with Aponibolinayen he said, "Command someone to pound rice, for we are going to make balaua, and I am going to call our son Tabyayen from above." Aponibolinayen had also given birth five days after Gaygayóma had given birth, and they called the boy Kanag.
While they were eating Kabkabaga-an said to him, "I have no husband and I live alone; that is why I brought you up here, for I love you." Not long after she became pregnant and she gave birth. "What shall we call the baby?" said Ligi "Tabyayen." Not long after the baby began to grow, for Kabkabaga-an used magic, so that he grew all the time, and every time she bathed him he grew.
XII. Tabyayen. Son of Aponitolau and Gaygayóma. Half brother of Kanag. XIII. Kabkabaga-an. A powerful female spirit who falls in love with Aponitolau. XIV. Asibowan. The maiden of Gegenáwan, who is related to the spirit Kaboniyan. The mistress of Aponitolau.
Not long after Tabyayen cried, for the tears of Kabkabaga-an fell on him and hurt him, so Aponibolinayen went down to the yard and took them up into the house. Not long after Aponitolau said to Aponibolinayen, "We will make balaua and we will invite Kabkabaga-an. I think that is why the boy cried." Aponibolinayen said, "Yes," and they truly made Sayang.
Not long after Aponitolau went to take Tabyayen from above and Gaygayóma was very glad to see him. When they were talking he said, "Now I am going to take Tabyayen down, for I want him to attend our Sayang." "Yes, you may take him, but you must bring him back when the Sayang is finished." So Aponitolau took the boy to attend the balaua in Kadalayapan.
"It is good that Tabyayen came down and made Sayang with us." Then he went down again. When he arrived down Aponibolinayen was glad to see him, for she feared he would not return to Kadalayapan. Not long after they arranged for Kanag to be married, and as soon as Kanag was married they arranged for Tabyayen also and he lived down below and Gaygayóma always staid above.
