Raja Ambong thought that it was time to return to Tanjong Bima, from which he had now been absent for three years three months and ten days. He obtained the permission of his father-in-law to go, and again embarked in the Batara Saludang Mayang with his wives, the Princesses Renek Jintan and Mayang Manggi and his sister Princess Chandra Rupa. At Tanjong Bima they met with a most affectionate welcome from the chiefs and people. Shortly afterwards the faithful Che Alang of Linggi was married with great rejoicings to the Princess Bongsu Chandra Rupa.

Che Alang after his marriage returned to his native land, Linggi, at the mouth of the river Limau Purut, taking his wife with him and there they settled down and lived happily.

Raja Ambong and his two Queens lived in harmony and happiness, and, under his just rule, his subjects increased and his country prospered.
