Ke hoomanao la oia he hookahi no ana Manawa I ike ai ia Kauwila mamua, a I kona ninau ana aku I na kamaaina o ka hale, I ke kanaka ana I makemake ai e ike, aia no kela noonoo iloko ona, e halawai aku ana oia me kekahi kanaka helehelena u’I a kulana hiehie.

Ua laweia aku la keia noloko o ke keena hookipa a I ka wa I hoea mai a i o Kauwila ua loli loa mai kela Manawa mua ana I ike ai aka haawi aku la no nae oia I kona aloha me ka hoikeike ole aku kekahi ano maikai ole iloko ona no kela kanaka a hoolauna aku la oia ma kea no he elele oia I hoouna ia aku, no ka haawi ana aku I ua o Kauwila I ka leka a kana wahine.

I ka loaa ana aku hoi o ka leka ia Kauwila, wehe awiwi ae la oia a hoomaka iho la e heluhelu no ka mea ua loihi kona kakali ana I kekahi pane, akahi no nae a hoea aku, a I kona maopopo pono ana, I na mea apau I kakauia maloko o ua leka nei nui iho la kona hanu a kamailio mai la no hoi imua o aulani:

“ Ke haawi aku nei au I ko’u mahalo nui loa ia oe, no kou lawe kino ana mai nei I keia leka a haawi ia’u aole hoi au kakali ana a ma ka haleleka e hoea mai ai. E oluolu ana anei oe e lawe aku ia’u imua ona I kena Manawa?”

“Aia ko’u kaa mawaho o ka pukapa kahi I ku ai I keia Manawa, a ina ua makaukau oe, alaila iloko o ka hora hookahi mai kou haalele ana iho I keia hale e hoea no oe imua o kea lo o kau wahine.”

Aohe he houlolohi hou ana iho ua makaukau mua o Kauwila, o ke ku ae la no ia o Laulani, hele aku la no hake I ku ai o kona kaa a kakali mai la o ka hoea aku o Kauwila o ko laua kau ae la no ia a huli hoi aku la ke kaa ma ke alanui e hoea aku ai no kahi I noho ai o Kanani me Alika, kana kaikamahine.

Ma kela huaka’I a ke kaa e holo la he uuku loan a mea I kamailioia mawaena o na kaeonimana a elua aka e kiei mau ana o Kauwila iwaho o ke kaa mamuli o kona nauki loa me ka iini e halawai koke aku me kana wahine.

Oiai hoi o Laulani e noho la maluna o ke kaa, he nui na noonoo like ole e oili ae la iloko ona ana no e ike maoli iho la o na manaolana no ka hoea mai I kekahi la e lilo maoli aku ai o Kanani I wahine nana ka la hoi e hookoia ai kona aloha no kela wahine opio, ke auhee aku la ia mai iaia aku.

Ke ike pu la no hoi oia aole ana e hiki iaia ke hele mau aku e ike ia Kanani, elike me ia I maa iaia I na la e noho kaawale ana o Kauwila mai kana wahine mai e pau ana ko laua hele ana I ka holokaa a pela hoi ka ui ana aku o Kanani iaia, I kona manao maluna o kekahi mau kumuhana lehulehu.

Hoko o ka hora hookahi ua hoea aku la ke kaa mawaho o ka pa o ka hale I noho ai o Kanai, ia wa I lele aku ai o I aulani iwaho a pii aku la no ka rumi o Kanani me ke kikeke ana aku I ka puka alaila wehe maoli aku la a kono mai la ia Kauwila e komo aku iloko, a I ke pholo ana aku o ua kanaka nei, ka a ho kona papani mai la no ia ika puka a huli hoi mai la no kahi o ke kaa e ku ana a haawi aku la I ke kalaiwa kaa I ke kauoha e hoihoi pololei iaia no kona hokele.
