“Don’t say that BiaSơdrăngMatAnar”, said Giông, “No one here can’t refuse your food. They look delicous and we are all hungry.”
Then Giông invited all others to enjoy the food. Giông turned to BiaSơdrăngMatAnar and said: “BiaSơdrăngMatAnar! Come here and join with us. Let’s have something to remember the first time we meet.”

BiaSơdrăngMatAnar smiled fruity. She said:

Giông, GiỡHreng, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, MaKlen, MaJong and BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong ate. All of them spoke out praises.
“Rice delicous, fish greasy as like their mistress beautiful”, they said.
BiaSơdrăngMatAnar heard the things. Her face went red she felt embarrassed.
Almost people stopped eating they started drinking and smoking while BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong was still eating. Giông started took a conversation with BiaSơdrăngMatAnar he asked her everything.
“Please don’t be ashamed and don’t be angry. I ask to know your name. I see to be familiar with your face. We will continue our fight for long time and hope we will meet you again”, said Giông.
“I’m not”, said BiaSơdrăngMatAnar, My shame ‘s now just big as a grain of rice. My parent named and I am called BiaSơdrăngMatAnar.
“You’re beautiful, as like sunlight shiny, as like forest flowers radiant and full of vitality,” said Giông. “Can you stand up and walk?”, added Giông.
 BiaSơdrăngMatAnar stood up. She gently walked few steps away then turned back.
Giông asked her to smile, she smiled. Giông asked her to talk, she talked. Giông observed her for a while then he said:
“You’re beautiful that nothing on your body’s ugly. White teeth, sweety smile, straight legs, slim waist. Your hair’s straight and smooth. If you agree, I want you to marry with my brother GiỡHreng.”
BiaSơdrăngMatAnar didn’t refuse and GiỡHreng also agreed. Then, they, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar and GiỡHreng gave the other silvery and golden bracelets.
“Let the thing at that, we must turn back our fighting”, said Giông, “after the fighting we will organize a wedding for BiaSơdrăngMatAnar and GiỡHreng and dink as much as we can in the wedding”.
People stopped smoking and drink they were ready to turn back their fighting. Giông turned to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong.
“Hey BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong”, he said, “Stand up and fight with me”.

Giông started ridiculing BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong.
“BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong you get ill. Why all your hairs fall out? You look different not like BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong august and strong before”, said Giông.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong didn’t reply Giông he’s angry but silently he sat on ground tears dropped from his eyes. That day was the day BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong felt saddest and painedest.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong knew that he couldn’t win Giông and his fellows.
