We Cudai was trapped in a profound sorrow, utterly ignoring the joy that should have accompanied her newborn son's arrival. His cries echoed, yet she remained silent, consumed by a fierce, inexplicable anger. Her baby's cries filled the chamber, prompting We Tenriabeng and Satumpugi to approach with deep concern, wondering why she acted so strangely.
"He is a child of Luwu! We cannot be led by their lineage!" We Cudai shrieked, her eyes blazing with prejudice. She demanded the baby be discarded, refusing to acknowledge his place within their kingdom. Sawerigading, who had just arrived, felt his heart shatter at the cruel insult against his son. A surge of anger mixed with profound sorrow wellled within him. As tension mounted, Satumpugi quietly prayed to Ya Patoto'e, seeking divine guidance for their troubled family.
With a heavy heart, Sawerigading declared his decision. "I will not let my son be an outcast here. I must take him away," he stated, believing it better for the child to be distant from such potent hatred. We Tenriabeng protested, reminding him, "But Sawerigading, he is your own blood!" Yet, his resolve remained unshaken.
A profound longing filled Sawerigading. "I shall name him La Galigo," he declared, a name imbued with hope amidst his sorrow. Instantly, a serene, divine voice echoed from the heavens, confirming the chosen name with peaceful resonance. Amidst the solemn moment, a radiant procession of heavenly envoys descended. Ila Palisulangi, with a cheerful countenance, announced their purpose: "We have come for him, Sawerigading. Our arrival signifies a great blessing!"
With renewed hope, Sawerigading gently lifted his son. "He shall carry our story, despite his mother's betrayal," he proclaimed, holding La Galigo close. "Let this child be a testament to enduring love and unyielding hope." Then, Sawerigading, cradling La Galigo, joined the celestial procession. They ascended gracefully, embarking on a grand, destined journey, leaving the earthly palace behind. Left alone, We Cudai could only stare into the emptiness. A heavy, dawning regret settled upon her, realizing the profound consequences of her bitter words and the love she had so carelessly cast aside.
