It is now the next day and at the throne room of the Libulan's Castle in the Batumbakal Tribe, Ulan and Lakam were there preparing the newly carved wooden crown on a marble platform to present it to the upcoming King Lakas who is preparing at his room before taking a look at his crown......
Lakam: (focuses on dusting off the wooden carved crown with a feather duster)
Ulan: (looks concerned at Lakam focusing on dusting off the carved crown) ugh Lakam... I think you should stop dusting off this crown before cleaning turns to breaking.....
Lakam: more like making it safe... (continues to dust off the wooden crown) (feels annoyed) because.... loon at this awful looking crowd.... do they want Lakas to have a splinter on his head by wearing this??? is he some sort of god about to get crucified??
Ulan: (notices Lakan looking annoyed at the crowd) it is not bad.... (looks carefully at the carved shape of the crown) it looks like it is still filled with hard work because crowns are not easy to make at all.....
Lakam: yeah whatever... (stops dusting off the crown) I just wanna say that Lakas deserves something better than a wooden crown......
Ulan: (nods sadly) yeah.... you are right but I bet he also wanted this.... he is not sure anyway about ruling... he has no choice.....
Sidapa: (suddenly peeks inside the throne room from entrance outside) hello? is anybody.... (notices Ulan and Lakam next to the crown on a marble platform) oh hey you two!!
*Ulan and Lakam hears and notices Sidapa peeking at the entrance from outside the room*
Lakam: Sidapa? didn't see you coming today???
Sidapa: well.... (enters and approaches Sidapa and Ulan) you all should have expected because I never got to return yesterday after the night time incident......
Ulan: well.... at least the sky turned back to normal.... who caused it though? (curiously looks at Sidapa)
Sidapa: (sadly looks down) it is Bulan actually and that is why I am here... I want to meet Lakas and talk to him but.... (looks at the wooden crown) I bet he is going to be full time bu.....
*Lakas and Kidlat suddenly enters the room and hears Sidapa*
Lakas: no ugh.... (approaches everyone) (smiles at Sidapa) I am available anytime for my brother's upcoming husband.......
*Ulan, Sidapa and Lakam notices Kidlat and Lakas*
Ulan: you guys are... (awkwardly looks at the wooden crown) already here and.... damn.... I guess this is how the new crown is presented huh?
Lakam: (rolls his eyes and feels annoyed by the crown) it is fine... it is really still ugly for me......
Kidlat: (looks confused noticing the wooden crown) wait... this is the crown made for a great upcoming king like you??? (looks confused at Lakas) you don't deserve this bare minimum......
Lakam: told you all... (notices Kidlat looking confused at the wooden crown)
Lakas: (shrugs at Kidlat looking confused at the crown) well.... (walks and touches the crown) who knows what would a king feel like?? who knows where this leads me?? like... I want to be transparent and admit that I am not ready after everything that happened..... after what my father was as a king but.... (shrugs) I have no choice but I am ready to still take it..... so I am fine with anything.... I am fine with this wooden crown.... (slightly smiles) it won't look like it honors me but..... to be fair... I don't know either about anything...
*everyone sadly listens to Lakas*
Sidapa: (feels guilty and awkward) ugh Lakas... I think I gotta... (about to walk away)
Lakas: (cuts off Sidapa) Sidapa??? how is Bulan as a god??? I know being a king and being a god are different things but.... is he happy? will he be?
Sidapa: (suddenly stops and feels emotional continuing to listen to Lakas) I will do everything to make him feel that way..... but it is a slow process... it is not going to be always at the up because there would be downs.....
Lakas: (nods and smiles at Sidapa) it is not always daylight... there would be times it would feel dark but..... there you go.... that represents you two anyway and I bet you get along whatever may come soon......
Sidapa: (smiles widely and nods at Lakas) thanks.... (shyly looks down) anyways.... whatever happens between us.... I will always be honest.... but one thing I can promise you right now.....
Lakas: (raises his eyebrow at at Sidapa) (feels curious) what is it?
Sidapa: comparing our wedding to your coronation... he will be most likely to be there for you right now so..... good luck! (keeps feeling emotional)
Lakas: (feels sad listening to Sidapa) Sidapa? what do you....
Sidapa: (curs off Lakas) see you all around! (disappears)
*everyone sadly watches Sidapa disappear*
Lakam: (sadly looks down)
*Kidlat and Ulan sadly looks at each other*
Lakas: (sadly keeps looking at Sidapa disappearing) (in his mind) what is going on with them? (feels concerned)
