Note 160 — 15

Not long after Aponītolau said to Aponībolinayen, “We will make balaua and we will invite Kabkabaga-an. I think that is why the boy cried.” Aponībolinayen said, “Yes,” and they truly made Sayang. Not long after they made Lībon160 in the evening, and they commanded the spirit helpers to go and get betel-nuts. As soon as they arrived with the betel-nuts Aponītolau and Aponībolinayen commanded, “You betel-nuts go and invite all our relatives and Kabkabaga-an.” So one of the betel-nuts went to the place where Kabkabaga-an lived. As soon as it arrived up above it said, “Aponītolau and Aponībolinayen of Kadalayapan want you to attend their balaua. That is why I came here.” Kabkabaga-an said, “Yes, I will follow you. You go first.” When it became afternoon all the people from the other towns had arrived in Kadalayapan. When they looked under the talagan161 they saw Kabkabaga-an, and Aponībolinayen went to take her hand, and they made her dance. As soon as she finished dancing she told Aponībolinayen and Aponītolau that she would go back home. “No, do not go yet, for we will make pakálon for Tabyayen first,” said Aponībolinayen. “No, you care for him. I must go home now, for no one watches my house.” Not long after she went, for they could not detain her, and they did not see her when she went. As soon as the Sayang was over they made pakálon for Kanag and Tabyayen, and Kanag married Page 116Dapilīsan, and Tabyayen married Binaklingan, and the marriage price was the balaua about nine times full for each of them. 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 Aponītolau and Aponībolinayen had.
