Ina no paha he mau mea kau i makemake ai e kamailio mai ia'u, aole no e lilo kau mau olelo ame kou mau manao i mea ano nui i ko'u noonoo," i pane aku ai o Helena no ka manawa mua loa.
"O kau paha ia i noonoo ai e Mrs. Hanafoda, aka nae ua kuhihewa loa oe," alala noke okoa ae la ua wahine nei i ka akaaka me ka leo nui. "O ke kumu nui o ko'u makemake ana e hele mai e ike ia oe ea, no ke noi ana aku no ia e loaa mai he huina dala ia'u mai ia oe mai."

"Alaila e olelo mai ana anei oe ua--" me ka hooki honua ana iho o Helena i kana kamailio ana aku. He hana kupono anei nana ka hoohaahaa ana iho i kona kulana malalo o kela wahine mahaoi. He mea maikai anei nana ka ni ele ana aku i kela wahine, i wahi e loaa mai ai iaia ka ike no na mea e pili ana no ke kanaka, nana i haalele iho iaia ame kana kaikamahine? Heaha kona pilikia, in a no aole on a makemake e maopopo ke kuleana o keia wahine maluna o Keoni Hanafoda, ame ke ano o ko laua kaawale ana. O keia na kumu ano nui nana i kaohi mai ia Helena mai ka hoopau pono ana aku i kana mea i makemake ai e nina mai ia Marie Dukana, eia nae, ua loaa aku la no ka ike i ua wahine nei a o ia kana o ka pane ana mai.
"O ka mea oiaia ea, ua hookaawale aku ua ia Keoni Hanafoda mai ia'u aku, ma kekahi hoopii oki mare, ekolu ae nei makahiki i hala a ke hauoli loa nei au ua ka mea a'u i hana aku ai, no ka mea o kela kekahi o na kanaka molowa me ke kauka'i mai owau ka mea nana e malama aku iaia.

Aohe a'u nana nona i keia manawa in a paha ua make oia a i ole ke ola mai nei no paha he oi aku nae ko'u hauoli in a ua make oia."
Ma na mea a Marie Dukana e noke aku nei i ke kamailio imua o Helena, ua hiki ia Helena ke ike aku, ua pau loa ka noonoo ana o kela wahine no Keoni Hanafoda, elike no hoi me kela manao hookahi i loaa i ua o Helena, ma ka manawa a kela kanaka aloha ole i haalele mai ai iaia, a lilo aku la i ke alualu i ka wailiu la o Mana. Heaha nae ka manao nui o ko laua kau like ana ma ke ana iliwai no ko laua makemake ole ana ia Keoni Hanafoda?

Aole e hiki i ua o Helena ke pane mai mahope iho o ke kuu ana iho o ka leo o Marie Dukana a no kona noho hamau loa hoi, ua hoomaka hou mai la ka wahine hanakeaka i kana kamailio ana:

"Ua pomaikai oe o kaua, a ua pilikia hoi au no laila e haawi mai oe i kekahi mau dala na'u i keia manawa a i na manawa no apau a'u e'hoea aku ai imua ou, au no e ike iho ai aole i poho ia mau dala au ikokua mai ai ia'u iloko o ko'u manawa o ke nele."
"Aole loa au i ike iki i kekahi kmu maikai a'u e haawi aku ai he hookahi keneka ia oe, aole loa!" i pane mai ai o Helena me ka leo kuoo."
"O ke kumu ekahi, o ia no ko'u malama ana i kau kane no na makahiki he ehiku, me kona hoopilikia hou ole aku i kou noonoo, nolaila ua pomaikai maoli oe, i kona kaawale ana mai kou alo mai, e hoouluhua hou ole aku ai ia oe."
"Heaha auanei ko'u kuleana iaia, ua pono no kou malama ana aku i ke kanaka au o ka hoowalewale ana, a e loaa he haawina a'o kupono loa ia oe e pono ai," wahi e Helena me ke kuoo.
Noke ae la o Marie Dukana i ka akaaka, aole i lilo no olelo a Helena o ke kamailio ana aku iaia i kumu e hoopepe iho ia ua wahine nei, a o ia kana o ka pane hou ana mai:

No kela hoonaukiuki loa on a, ku okoa ae la oia iluna, me ka makemake ole, e hoomau aku i ke kamailio ana me kela wahine, ua ku pono ae la nae o Marie Dukana mamua o kahi ana e hele aku ai, a pane aku la:

"Ma ka inoa o ke kaulike, ke koi ak nei au i kou kuleana, e hookikina mai ai ia'u e haawi aku i kekahi o ka'u mau dala nau e Marie Dukana!"
"Malia paha, aole ou makemake e hoikeia ae na mea e pili ana ia oe aine kau kane maloko nei o keia kulanakauhale, a e lohe aku hou mau hoaloha no kou ano maoli, he wahine i kaawale mai kau kane aku, mamuli o ke kanawai o ka aina?"

"Heaha auanei ka'u nana no'u iho, no ka mea eia no na alina o kana mau hana ke kau nei maluna o'u, o oe paha kau e nana iho, no kou hoohilahilaia mai e kou mau hoaloha hanohano, ka poe i lohe ole i kekahi hapa o kou moolelo."

Noke hou ae la o Marie Dukana i ka akaaka a i mai la:

Ke mamao loa aku la ka leo o na keko, kelohe koli'uli'u aku la oia me ka maopopo ole, o ke ano o ka lakou me e kamailio ana, nolaila, lalau aku la oia i ke kii, a hookomo ae la ma kona ili kuapo, o ka hoomaka aku la no ia e holo, malia paha aia o Miriama ma kahi o kela mau leo hanakuli o na keko ana e lohe aku nei.

I kela ike ana aku a Keaka i ke kino malule o Miriama, iluna o ka poohiwi o ka mapu, me he mea la, aole e hiki ke holo hou ke koko iloko o kona puuwai, no ka mea ua manaoio maoli no oia, ufa make o Miriama, i ka onioni ole ae.

I ka ike ana o ka mapu i ka hoonana mai o kona hoa hakaka, aohe wahi mea a hookaawale ae, o kona holo aku ia no ia imua, pela no hoi o Keaka i holo mai ai, a hooki'i ae la na poo o laua i kahi hookahi, me he mau pipi bulu la, me ka hopu like ana aku o ka laua mau lima, kekahi i kekahi. "Aia no ka Keaka pahi ma kona aoao kahi i lealea ai, aole nae on a laulau ae, ua oi aku kona makemake e hoohana i kona mau niho me na kima, o ka mea ia e ikeia ai kona ikaika, o ka noonoo nui wale no iloko on a, o ia ka pepehi aku i kela mapu a make, i hiki ai iaia ke pulama hou i ke kaikamahine ana i aloha ai, in a aia no ke ola ke kamau 'a iloko on a.

He keu maoli ka loihi o Miriama i kana ike mai. Ua loli ano e ae anei o Miriama i kela mau hora kakaikahi o kona kaawale ana mai iaia aku a i ole ua lilo paha eia lanakila i loaa iaia maluna o ka mapu i mea nana e hoololi ae i kana hoomaopopo ana no keia kaikamahine?
He mea oiaio, ua loaa aku o Miriama iaia he wahi kaikamahine uuku wale no, a kaili mai la iaia mai ka mana mai o ke kanaka, i kapa iaia iho he makuakane no keia kaikamahine a oiai aole e hiki i ua o Keaka ke hoomaopopo i ko laua noho pu ana oiai ohe nana manawa oloko o ka ululaau o kana nae e ike mai la, aole o kela kino nuku aka he kino nui maoli ko Miriama, he kino wahien: alaila nana iho la oia i ke kino make o ka mapu e waiho ae ana, a nana au aku la no hoi ma na maka o Miriama, akahi no oia a hoomaopopo i ka manao ame ka makemakea o ka mapu, no ka lawe ana aku no ia ia Miriama i wahien nana.
