They promised to meet their wives in the afterworld.

After three days, Sinaganbuhan shouted into the air: "Who will help us?  No one.  We can go anywhere in this wide world, but we are useless because we are only women.  We should go to the afterworld and leave behind our cowardliness.

Kalimatol Asa said to Sinaganbuhan: "Please to not fight with the Christians.  You are pregnant."  Then she got her kris and ran to the group of soldiers.  Many soldiers died.  Her kris is gold.  After dark, she sang a song about a bird.  Sinaganbuhan was worried because her husband Jambangan was killed by the Christian soldiers.  Then Sinaganbuhan sang about a bird name Tihilao owned by Santa.  Then Santa then ran after high noon.  His three steps were equivalent to one thousand steps.  He was awakened by his bird.  Santa went into the house of Kalimatol Asa.  Sinangbuhan said: "You should be ashamed.  Why do you call me your lover?  By and by, I'll cut you into several pieces.  If you can defeat the soldiers, you have the good luck to marry me.  And if you can really defeat the soldiers, you have a good luck to marry.  I am like a bolo lantig (?)."

Santa ran with his kris into the group of Christians.  He ran nine times up into the sky and nine times down.  Then he stopped in the home place of Christians.  He went nine times to the west, nine times to the north.  He stopped in a group of soldiers and he killed them all.  The only living was Kumlilla and a woman.  Even though Santa ran fast after them, he could not catch them because of the power of god.

Santa said: "I can not overpower God and his assistant Pakil Sabidulla."

Sabidulla appeared to God and said: "You should stop Santa.  He killed all the people and only two are living, one man and one woman."
