"Aole o'u pilikia, me'he mea la, ua hoi hou mai ka ikaika Ko'u kino elike me na la i hala."

"He kakaikahi loa ka'u mau manawa i hele ai e nana Keaka. aka nae he nui ko'u heluhelu i na keaka like ole o Lela ame keia ano, a ua paanaau maoli kekahi mau keaka la'u. in a no ka ike aku e hanaia mai ana ekekahi poe, ua Luki loa ia'u ke ike aku i na mea apau, me he mea la owau pu kekahi me ka poe na lakou e hana mai ana ia keaka."

"No'u iho e Oliva, ma ko'u manawa mua loa i ike ai i ka Lanaia mai o kekahi mau keaka, ua hele maoli au a piha i ka ilihia. a pehea ana la kou ano e Oliva, ma ko'u manao ae, elike ana no kou ano me ko'u."

"Aole e hiiki ia'u ke ike i ko'u ano i keia manawa, aka keaha ke keaka ano nui o keia po?"

"O Maheka ke keaka e hanaia mai ana i keia po," i pane mai ai o Keoni, ua awihi aku o Kakalina iaia, oia ka mea Pana e hokaka mai, i ole ai o Oliva e hoohuoi aku, aku, o Kamalina kekahi mea kuleana ma na hana keaka o kela po."

"O Maheka kekahi o ka'u mau keaka makemake loa, a inoohauoli loa ia mai hoi kuu uhane, mamuli o ka olua nau mea e kamailio mai nei, o ke keaka ia o keia po."

"Aole loa o'u kanalua no kou hoohauoliia i keia po, aia kakou a huli hoi mai no ka hale nei, alaila hoike mai e i kau mau mea apau i ike ai, a i manao ai hoi no kela keaka."

"Ua palaka maoli ka hoi au, me ko'u manao no la, o kaloa apau ke hele like ana i ke keaka, eia ka he hana okoa kau." alaila nui iho laka hanu o Oliva.

"Mai noonoo nui loa oe no'u oiai he mau manawa lehu-lehu ka'u  o ka ike ana i kela keaka. He hele aku ana no kakou apau i ke keaka, no noho aku olua o Keoni ma ko olua wahi, o ko'u wa ia ehele aku ai no ka'u hana, a mamua o ka pau ana o ke keaka, e hoea mai ai au a i hookahi ko kakou hoi like ana mai."

"Ma keal wahi o kalakou mai kamailio, hoea aku la ko lakou kaa mawaho o ka hale keaka, a kaa e mai la no ma ka loko o kakalina, ke kamailio ana:"

"Ua hoea mai la kakou i ka halekeaka. nolaila mai hookaliahaia kou manao e Oliva mamuli o ka uuku o keia hale, aka nae o keia kekahi o na halekeaka piha mau ia e ka poe hanohano; a e ike aku ana no oe, ua like no na hana ke-aka nae o keia kekahi o na o keia hale, me na hale nunui o keia kulanakauhale."

Oiai e makaukau ana o Kakalina e lele mailuna aku o ke kaa, kiloi aku la oia i ke kiheino ka uhi ana i ke poo o Oliva, a na Keoni i kokua mai ma ka hoolele anu aku i na lele opio ilalo, a oia no hoi ka mea nana i alaka aku, no loko o ka halekeaka, a moo ana ma kekahi wahi i hookaawale mua ia no lakou, e pili kokoke aku ana i ka puka, ma wehi o ka poe hana keaka e ku mai ai.

Oiaiaia o kakalina ke noho kokoke la, ma kahi o ka paku lalau aku la kekahi lima on a i ka paku, me ka hoo opo ana mai ma ka lima o Oliva e nana aku i na hiona ma hope o ka puka; auwe, he ku i ka u'i me ka nani, e hewaai i na maka ke ike aku.

I kela hala ana aku o Kakalina, a haalele hookahi iho la ia Oliva me keoni, aole mai la he maikai o ko Oliva noonoo, me he mea la iwa kana hoomanao iho, aia o Radona ma kekahi wahi kahi i hakilo mai ai iaia, a ke hopohop loa la oia, no kona ikeia mai, a kaa hou aku malalo o ka malu o kela kamaka ino. Meka helehelena haikea, i nana maile aku ai o Oliva iloko o anaina kanaka nui e noho mai ana, a ua hoomamaia mai koi kona mau mamao kaumaha, iaia i hoomaopopo aku ai, aole o Radona maloko o kela halekeaka, aka nae i ka ike ana mai o Keoni i kela haikea o ka helehelena o Oliva, ninau koke mai Ia oia i ka uane ana mai;

"Ea, ua loohia hou anei oe e Oliva i ka ma'i?" wahi ana me ka paa okoa ana mai ma ka lima o Oliva, me kona ike ana iho i ka hele a hu'ihu'i pu, alaila haha iho la oia maloko o ka pakeke o kona kuka, a unuhi ae la he wahi omole uuku, he laau hoohanuhanu a i hou mai la:

He mea oiaio ua kokua nui aku kela mau hana hoolalau a keoni i na noonoo maikai ole iloko o Oliva, a iloko no hoi o kela manawa hookahi, i kani mai ai na pila, a hoopoina loa ae la o Oliva i ka noonoo ana, no ke kanaka ana i makemake ole ai ei ike, a kaulono pono aku la kana nana ana ma kahi o ka paku no ka ike aku i ka poe hanakeaka.

Oiai na meakani e paaniia mai ana e ka poe hookani pila, ma ka Oliva hoolohe aku, he keu a kona piha i ka ilihia, me he mea la. nona kela himeni e paaniia mai ana, alaila hilinai mai la kona noho ana ihope o kona noho, puliki ae la hoi kona mau lima mamua o kona umauma, he hookahi no hana o ka hoolohe maie me kone piha hialaai.

Ua nui na manawa a Oliva i heluhelu ai i ka moolelo epili ana no ka lede Mabela, ame kanani o kana mle ana, a iaia i nana aku ai i ka mea nana e mele mai ana i ka himeni ma kela po, ua hoopoina loa ae oia i na mea apau, a koe wale no kona umeia ana aku, me na manao hoohihi no ka mea nana e mele ana i kela himeni.

Aia nae kekahi mau ano maiuna o ka Lede Mbela ana e hoohui la, u akamaaina mua no oia i kela lede, ua hooiaio loa ia mai nae ia mea mahope mai, i ka wa i leha mai ai ka nana ana a ua lede nei iluna o kahi a Oliva ame keoni e noho aku ana, a no ka manawa imua loa, akahi no oia a ike, aole ka kela he mea e kau, aka o ka Lede Mabela, i kaulana i ka waha o na mea apau, he puukani kaulana maloko o kela kula nakauhale, o Kona kaikuaana hookama no ia a o ke kaikuahine hoi o keoni, oia o kakalina.

Oiai no nae ua o Oliva e noho malie loa ana, ia wa i hoopa mai ai o kakalina mahope o kona poohiwi, a ninau mai la, me ka minoaka ma kona mau papalina: "Ua lilo anei kau mau mea i lohe ai, a i ike ai ma keia po, i mau mea hoohauoli aku i kou manao?"

Ma kahi nae o ka pane pololei ana aku i kela ninau no kona hauoli, a hauoli ole paha, hopu ino aku la o Oliva i ka lima o Kakalina, a i aku la: "Ea, o oe anei ka Lede Mabela?"

"Aole keia he wahi no na ninau o kena ano, e hoomanawanui a hoea aku kakou i ka hale, ia wa oe e ninau mai ai ia'u a pane aku no hoi au elike me ka hiki ia'u wahi a kakalina me ka huli ana ae a ane aku la i kona kaikunane. "E hoo ponopono mai oe i ke kihei hoopumehana o Oliva a e awiwi kakou, no ka mea o ka pau wale aku no koe o na kanaka i ka hemo iwaho, a o kakou wale no ia epapa nei."

I ka pau ana o ko lajou nei hemahema, ia wa i alakai aku ai o keoni i kona mau kaikuahine nowaho o ka halekeaka, ia lakou nae e hele nei, e haawi mau mai ana ka poe i kamaina mua ia kakalina i ka lakou mau kunou ana, a i ka hoea ana aku no ka puka, e ku mai ana ka lunanuio ka halekeaka, e kakali mai ana no o ka hemo aku o Kakalin a, a mahope o ka haawi ana mai i kana kunou haahaa imua o na lede opio, ka mailio pu mai la i kekahi mau huaolelo pokole, a i mai la: "He lede malihini hoi kou hoa i kela po, e oluolu ana anei oe e hoike mai i kona inoa ia'u"

"He hoaloha keia no'u a ua kapa aku au iaia he kaikaina no'u" wahi a kakalina, me ka hoolauna ana aku ia Oliva imua o ka lunanui o ka halekeaka, o ko lakou hele aku la no ia no kahi e ku mai ana o ko lakou kaa, a huli hoi pololei aku la no ko lakou hale.

Oiai lakou e fhuli hoi ana, ninau hou mai la o kakalina ia Oliva: "pehea ua hoohauoliia anei oe no na hana keaka ame na hana himeni ma keia po?"

No kela ninau nui iho la ka hanu o Oliva. a i aku la: "Ua aneane e hiki ole ia'u ke hoakaka ae i ko'u manao maoli, koe wale no ka hoopihaia ana mai o kuu uhane me na mea kupaianaha he nui: aka e ae mai nae oe e haawi mai i ka haina pololei o keia ninau: "O oe anei ka Lede Mahela?"

"Owau i'o ka Lede Mabela i keia po, a i ka po o ka la apopo, e ikeia ana au ma ka inoa o ka Lede Laiana ; a he nani ia, ua ike oe i ka meahuna i pili i ka'u hana i keia po, he mea makehewa wale no ka hoao hou ana iho e huna, o ka mea oiaio e Oliva, he wahine hana keaka au, a o keia no ka hana i kono mau ia mai ai au e hele i na po apau ; a pehea, ua hoowahawaha anei oe ia'u, no ko'u lilo ana i wahine hana keaka?"

"He hookahi wale no mea iloko o kuu noonoo i keia ma-nawa, o ia no ka piha i ke kahaha," wahi a Oliva, me ka puliki ana aku i ka lima o Kakalina. "la'u i nana aku ai i ke keaka o keia po, oiai ka Lede Mabela me kona mau ano kuoo apau, e hooko mai ana i na hana ku i ka lokoino. ua hiki ole ia'u ke manaoio, o oe kela wahine, no ka mea ua piha kou puuwai i ka oluolu ame ke aloha, a na ia aloha ou i hoopakele ae ia'u mailoko mai o ka poino ame ka make."

"Owau i'o no ka Lede Mabela e Oliva, kuu kaikaina." wahi a kakalina, me ka noke ana ae i ka akaaka. "Me kou noonoo ole aku no ka Lede Mabela ame kana mau hana, e nana mai no oe ia'u ma ke ano o kakalina, a e aloha mai hoi ia'u, he kaikuaana nou."

Ma kela wahi o ka laua mau kamailio, hoea aku la ko lakou kaa i ka hale. a kaa e aku la no ia Keoni ka lele mua ana ilalo, a kokua mai la ma ka hoolele ana aku i kona mau kaikuahine ilalo.

Ia lakou nei o ka hoea ana aku noloko o ka hale, e waiho mai ana he mau meaai, i hoomakaukauia e ke kauwa lawelawe, a me na lima ponoi o kakalina i kii aku ai oia a wehe ae la i ke kihei hoopumehana mai ka ai ae o Oliva, hoonoho pu aku la no hoi iaia ilalo, me ka pane ana ae me ka leo oluolu:

"O keia ka pu mua loa au i hele ai e nana i na hana ke aka, a oiai aole i ikaika maikai loa kou kino, ke make make nei au e noho malie loa oe, a e hoomaha i loaa ai ka ikaika kupono i kou kino; a mai noonoo nui oe i na hana hoopihoihoi noonoo o keia po. Elawe mai e keoni i mau meaaina kakou, a maluna no keia pakaukau uuku kakou e aiai."

"Aole loa e hiki ia'u ke manaoio e kakalina, he hana hiki i kekahi mea ke hoololiloli i kona mau ano ame kaua mau hana. Ma kou mau ano maoli o oe kekahi o na wahine oluolu loa. aka ma kau mau hana i keia po. maka inoa ka Lede Mabela. he keu a ka lokoino me ka weliweli maoli, pela iho la i hoopohihihi ia mai ai ko'u noonoo."

"I ka mea malihini elike me oe e Oliva, he mea pohihihi i'o no keia, aka in a oe e maopopo aku ana, he hana hiki wale no i kekahi ke hoololi ae i kona ano ame kana mau hana, alaila e hoopauia ae ana no ia pohihihi ou. Ua a'o nui ia au ma keia hana o ke keaka, pela iho la i hiki ai ia'u ke hana aku a ke hoohalike me ka poe apau, no lakou na moolelo i hakui no na hana keakka.

Ae okoa aku la o Oliva, i ka noho malie loa o Keoni, aole hoi elike me ia ka hele a pihoihoi, me ka haikea o kona hele helena, a o ia ka Kakalina i pane hou mai ai:

"Ua kamaaina loa o keoni i na keaka apau, oiai o maua pu no ke hele ma kela ame keia po, a i kekahi manawa, e komo pu mai ana no oia, mana hana keaka, he kanaka makaukau loa o Keoni ma keia hana, ke hoea mai i kona manawa e hoikeike ae ai i kana mau kalena."

" Aole au i poina i kou noke ana mai e kuu kaikamahine i ke kamailio no keia kanaka i ka mahina aku nei i hala. no ka hoohihi o kalala iaia, a ke kakali wale nei no kela kaikamahine, o kona hoopaia aku, nolaila in a e hoopoina ana oe i ka noonoo ana no ka Haku Kale. aohe no he hewa o ka hoopilipili ana aku me ka Makuika malia o oe kona hoa e kohu ai."

I kela hooki ana iho o ke kamailio ana aku a ka makuahine i kana kaikamhine nana aku la me ka piha hialaai, o ka lohe i na manao apono mai iaia mai, a o ia nae kaka Lede Polena i pane mai ai:

"E manao mai ana paha oe e kuu makuahine, ua opulepule ia au, in a pela no'u iho no ia kuleana." me ka akaaka okoa ana ae o ka Lede Polena, a pane hou mai la: "He hapaha keia i hala o ka hora elima, aole on a hoea mai,"alaila puliki ae la oia i kona mau lima mamua o kona umauma, me he mea la e kaomi aku ana i ka pana kapalili ana o kona puuwai.

Oiai na lede e kamailio ana, ua hoea mai la ke kaa o ka Hake Kale a ku ae la mamua o ka puka pa, a iaia i lele mai ai ilalo, ua ninau mai la ke kalaiwa iaia i ka i na mai: "i ka manawa hea au e kii mai ia ia oe' no ka hoi ana aku no kou mau rumi?" wahi ana me ke kunou ana mai imua o kona haku.

"Aole no au e loihi loa ana maanei nei, e hele holoholo aku oe ma na alanui, a i ka piha ana o ka hapalua hoia. e hoea hou mai oe maanei nei, ua lawa paha kela manawa no'u e kamalilio pu ai me na kamaaina o keia home," o ka lilo aku la no ia o na lio, a koe hookahi iho laka Haku Kale, me kona holoholo wale ana iho no nae. mamua aku o ka hale, me ka pupuahulu ole e pii mai iluna o ka lanai. Aia kona mau lima iloko o na pakeke o kona kuka koloka, a o ka mea ana e noonoo la i kela manawa ia na olelo a kona makuakane iaia, e pili ana no ka Lede Polena. "Ua ninau mai kuu makuakane ia'u, i ke kumu o ko'u noi ole ana aku ia Polena e lilo mai i wahine na'u aole nae o'u wahi mea a hooko iki i kela makemake on a. Ina ke kakali mai nei o Polena ia'u, a i ole o kekahi wahine e ae paha, he oi aku ka pono o ka hooko ana aku ia makemake mamua o ko'u hoolilo wale ana no ia'u iho, i kanaka e auwana hele ana mai kekahi wahi a i kekahi.

Ina paha i loaa iki aku he wahi hoomahu'i ana, aia ka Haku Kale mawaho o ka hale kahi i noonoo ai, no kela mea nui i loko o kona puuwai, in a aole e hiki i na lede opio nei ke noho malie i kahi hookahi, aole nae pela, ua noho poliuli loa oia, o ka mea maikai ole wale no iloko o kona noonoo, o ia ka hoea ole aku o ka haku opio, elike me kana i upu mai ai e hiki aku ma ka hora elima o kela ahiahi.

"Ina no e hoole mai ana ka Lede Polena, aole oia e lilo mai i wahine na'u, o ka pau ae la no ia. a na'u e huli hou aku i kekahi wahine kupono. in a hoi paha o Derika pu kekahi me a'u, oia ke kanaka kupono loa nana e hoohele i ke kamailio ana, no ka hoea aku i kahi e ikeia ae ai ko maua manao ponoi, aka aole nae oia me a'u, nolaila e hoao ana au elike me ka mea hiki, e hua'i aku imua o ka Lede i na olelo kupono, no ke noi ana aku iaia i wahine mare na'u." Ua wheia mai la nae ka puka e kekahi kauwa, a i ka ike ana mai i ka Haku Kale, o kona hookipa aku la no iaiaia nei, me ka lawe pololei ana aku noloko o ke keena hookipa, kahi a ka Lede Polena e noho mai ana. a ia hoea ana aku a ka Haku Kale, pahola aku la oia i kona lima, me ka i ana aku:

"Owau ke mea kupono e ninau aku ia oe i ka meahou," wahi a ka Lede Polena, me ka minoaka hoohie ma kona mau papalina oiai hoi ua lede opio nei, e kilohi pono mai ana i ka oiwi o ka Haku Kale. "E oluolu oe e kuu haku, e noho iho ilalo, i kohu no ke kamailio ana ea, i ka noho iho ilalo," o ka lalau aku la no ia o Kale i kekahi noho, a uwai mai la a kokoke loa e pili ma ka aoao o ka Lede Polena, a ke olu la hoi ua wahine nei, o kona iini, o ka hele loa no a pili i kahi hookahi.
