Note 56 — 4

When Aponītolau woke up early in the early morning he heard many roosters crowing and many people talking. “My daughter Binaklingan, how bad your mother is, for she sent us here to Kadalayapan without Page 54telling us,” said Aponītolau. His daughter was very sorry but she played on the pan pipe. When it was morning Langa-an saw the golden house by their house. “Why there is a different house here. I think Aponītolau has arrived and maybe he is in that house,” said Langa-an to Pagbokásan,56 and Pagbokásan went outdoors. “Are you here Aponītolau? We had sought you for a long time, but did not find you. None of our animals are left alive,” said Pagbokásan. “Why did you search for me? I told Sinogyaman and Sinagayan that I was going to fight. Did they not tell you?” said Aponītolau. “We thought that you encountered our old, dangerous enemies, for you have been away many months. Why do you have a daughter who is a young girl?” “Yes, Binaklingan who is here is my daughter, and her mother Asībowan with whom I lived for a long time did not want to come here to Kadalyapan, for she said I must find a girl suitable for me to marry and then we must make balaua so that she will come to our town.”
