Then they were anxious to know who was the husband of Aponibolinayen, but she would not tell them, and they decided to invite everyone in the world to the ceremony that they might not overlook him. They sent for the betel-nuts that were covered with gold, and when they had oiled them they commanded them to go to all the towns and compel the people to come to the ceremony.
He took the boiling stick and broke it into pieces, and it became a fish which they ate, and Aponitolau took the bone out of the fish which Aponibolinayen ate. When they finished eating she spread the mat and the blanket which they kept in the box. "I do not like a blanket which is kept in a box, for it smells like kimi," said Aponitolau. "Why do you not like it?
As they walked they saw that the men and women who were making alawig were the companions of Aponibolinayen. Awig said, "That is the man who used to put the clout of banana leaves on him." As soon as Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen finished dancing they went to take the hands of Awig and Aponibolay, and Aponitolau commanded the people who lived with them to bring golden seats.
The next day Aponitolau said to Aponibolinayen, "I am going to see our sugar cane, to see if any carabao have gone there to spoil it, for it is the best to chew." So he went. As soon as he arrived he saw that the sugar cane was spoiled, and he looked.
Aponitolau wanted all of them to go to Kadalayapan, but he went alone and the stars and Gaygayóma and the boy went up. Not long after Aponitolau said, "Wes" at the entrance to the yard of their house in Kadalayapan. Aponibolinayen got up from her mat and she had not eaten for a long time. When she looked at him she was very happy. Aponitolau saw that she was thin.
So they chewed and Aponitolau said, "My name is Aponitolau of Kadalayapan who is the son of Langa-an and Pagbokásan to whom you told a lie for you said you were Gimbangonan, and now I want to know your real name." "My name is Aponibolinayen of Natpangan who is the daughter of Ebang and Pagatipánan."
Aponibolinayen was filled with joy at the sight of her husband once more, for she had believed him dead, and she was very thin from not eating while he was away. Never did she tire of listening to his stories of his life among the stars, and so happy was she to have him again that when the time came for him to leave she refused to let him go. That night many stars came to the house.
"I am going to wash my hair," said Aponitolau. Not long after he went to the river and washed his hair. As soon as he finished he took a bath and went back home. When he arrived in his house he said, "Aponibolinayen, please comb my hair." "Take the comb and go to Indiápan, for I have no time," answered Aponibolinayen. "If you have no time, give it to me then," said Aponitolau.
Aponitolau threw his spear at his side, and it went clear through his body and To-odan laid down. Aponitolau cut off his head. So he commanded his spirit companions to be ready to go with him to Kadalayapan. As soon as they were ready he said to them, "You go first, my companions, we are going to the town of Aponibolinayen, for I have heard that she is a pretty woman, and I wish to see her."
Aponibolinayen and Aponitolau were ready to go to Kabno-angan before the messenger arrived in Kadalayapan. They went there directly, and they took many things to be used in the wedding. As soon as they arrived in Kabno-angan they were glad to see that Kanag was a man again.
