Dinawagan went home. “Did they accept our golden cup which looks like the moon, mother?” asked Gawigawen. “Yes. Tomorrow will be the pakalon,” said the mother. Not long after she said, “All you people who live in the same town with us, prepare to go to the pakalon of Gawigawen in Natpangan tomorrow afternoon.” The people agreed and in the morning they truly started and they went. “You, my jar bilibili which always salutes the visitors, go first; and you my jar ginlasan follow, and you malayo and tadogan and you gumtan.” [150] So they went first to Natpangan, and Gawigawen and the people followed them, and also eighteen young girls who were Gawigawen’s concubines went also.
Not long after they arrived in Natpangan and Iwaginan and the other people went to attend the pakalon, and also many people from the other towns. When all whom they had invited arrived they agreed how much Gawigawen should pay for his wife. Aponibalagen told them to fill the balaua [151] eighteen times with valuable things. So the balaua was filled. Not long after they ate and when they had finished they went to the yard and they played on gansas and danced. Iwaginan took the skirts and gave one to Nagten-ngaeyan of Kapanikiyan and they danced. [152] When she danced she looked like the spindle. She did not go around, but always moving and the water from the river went up into the town and the striped fishes bit her heels. Not long after they stopped dancing and Gimbagonan was jealous and she said “Ala, give me the skirt and I will dance next.” “Do not say that Gimbagonan, for it is shameful for us,” he answered her. Not long after he gave the cloth to Dakandokan of Pakapsowan. She danced with Algaba of Dagala. Not long after they finished dancing and Iwaginan made Aponibolinayen and Balogaygayan dance. He often went to fight in the enemies towns. Not long after Aponibolinayen went down from the house and the sunshine vanished when she appeared. She danced with Balogaygayan and when she moved her feet the water from the river went up again into the town and the fish bit at her heels as they did before. After they stopped Iwaginan made his wife Gimbagonan dance and she was happy when she danced with Aponibalagen. When they danced the big jars around Gimbagonan’s neck made more noise than the gansas and the jars said “Kitol, kitol, kanitol, inka, inka, inkantol.”
As soon as they finished dancing the people said, “The best thing to do is to go home, for we have been here three months now.” “We will take Aponibolinayen” said Dinawagan to the people who lived in the same town with her and she spoke to Aponibalagen. So they prepared rice and coconut soaked together and wrapped in leaves, and a cake made of rice flour and coconut shaped like a tongue, a rice cake, which was fried for Aponibolinayen’s provision on the road. “You who live in the other towns who were invited, do not go home yet
