Soon, Nanay heard Pinang stirring the porridge in the kitchen. But after some time, there was just silence in the house. Nanay began to call out Pinang's name but there was no answer. Nanay called several times and still there was no answer. Because of her hunger, Nanay finally got up from her bed and went to the kitchen. Nanay saw that the porridge had been  cooked but Pinang was not around.

She helped herself to some porridge. After eating, she called out to Pinang wondering if the child was just with her friends again. Night time came but still there was no sign of Pinang. Too weak to further go out of the house Nanay went back to the room and slept.
