Akahi no a maopopo iaia ia manawa ke kumu o ko Mabela hoowalewale ana iaia e hele me ia ma kekahi wahi kaawale @ ia Elese mai i ike ole oa i ka mea e hanaia mai ana no @. Ua hooiaio koke oia ia manawa o Mabela pu kekahi @ komo pu ma ka hana ana e homahuka aku ia Elese, a ua pololei no ia. elike me ia au e ka mea heluhelu i ike ae nei mamua aka oiai aohe kumu hooiaio i kona manao ma kona manao e hookau wale aku ai no ina ahew ana maluna o Mabela, hooki pu wale iho la no oia ia manao; o kana wale no o ka olelo ana aku ia Mabela oia ka ke kaikamahine lawelawe mea o ka lohe ana a i hoike aku ai ia Elese.
Mahope o kona ninau ana no Elese a loaa ole iaia kekahi @ aina maopopo no kana wahi o ka hele ana aku, hooholo iho ka oia i kona manao ua hoi o Elese i ka hale. Ua hookolo aku ma mahope o ke kaalio a hala kekahi wahi pokole maluna o ke alanui a o kahi hou aku a ke kaalio o ka holo ana aku aohe ua i ike.
@ la hoi ana mai ana hele ae la oia a loaa ko lana kaalio o holo ana mai, a hoi awiwi aku la no kahi hale o laua, me @ manao ua hoi o Elese ilaila mamuli o kona huhu iaia no kona hele me Mabela. I ka nele ana o ka loaa iaia manao iho la oia ua hoi loa ae ka paha o Elese no ka hale o kona makuahine, a eia nae, iaia i noonoo hou iho ai aole o Elese e aa ana e hoi aku i kona makuahine mahope o kona ike ana i kona hewa, oia ka mare ma lu ana me ka ae maikai ole o kona makuahine. Ua hoopohihihi hou ia kona noonoo.
“Ua lohe mai anei oia mai kekahi mea mai e loaa iho ai ka manao hoohuoi iaia i ke ku ole i ke kanawai o ko laua mare ana?” Aneane oia e hooliloia i kanaka pupule mamuli o keia manao, a oiai oia e ku ana maloko o ka rumimoe ana o ka hoomakaukau ana no Elese e moe ai, me ka hoolako ana ia rumi me na mea maikai apua a kekahi lede e hauoli ai, nui iho la kona hanu a hoopuka ae la i keia mau olelo:
“Heaha ana la ka’u e hana aku ai ina e lilo aku ana oia mai a’u aku?” Holoholo iho la oia iuka a i kai iloko o ka rumi; komo ma kekahi rumi a puka aku la iwaho ma kekahi, me ka hoao ana e hoakoakoa mai i kona mau noonoo maikai apau, i hiki ai iaia ke loaa ka manao maikai. Ua hoao oia e hoauau ae i kona noonoo no kekahi wahi ana e manao ai aia paha o Elese ilaila aohe nae loaa. O ka mea wale no i loaa iaia ma ia noonoo ana oia ka nui mai la o kona aloha ia Elese, a ina no kona loaa ole e aho kona make mamua o kona ola ana, a i ole ka lilo ana aku paha o Elese i ka mea okoa.
Ua hala paha iaia he hapalua hora ma keia hoopau manawa wale ana, alaila o kona iho aku la no ia ilalo a kau aku la maluna o ke kaalio, a kauoha aku la i ke kahukaa e lawe hou iaia i ka hale o ka ohana Harisona.
Iaia i hoea aku ai ilaila a komo aku la no hoi iloko o ka hale, me ka helehelena haikea a inoino, e nau ana no hoi na kui me ka lele o na maka oia no oe o ke kanaka i nohoia e ka uhane ino, o ke kanaka lawelawe ka mua loa o ka oili ana mai, a i mai la:
“Eia o Elese maloko nie o ka hale i nei manawa.”
“Oia anei ka mea oiaio?” i ninau koke aku ai ua o Hale.
“Ae; eia oia maanei i nei manawa a ke kali mai la o kou hoi mai,” wahi a ke kanaka lawelawe.
“O e homaikaiia na lani!” i pane aku ai ua o Hale, a o kona komo loa aku la no ia iloko; o kona aho no ia ia manawa o ke au ana ae ma o a maanei ialoko o ka rumi, a ia ike ana aku ana ia Elese e noho mai ana mawaena o kekahi puulu o na malihini, e kamailio ana a e hehe ana no hoi ka aka, o ka manao mua i ulu ae iloko ona oia kona kii aku a kaihuluhulu mai ia Elese iwaho, a e ninau aku i kana hana o ka noho ana mawaena o na kanaka a ihea la oia o ka nalowale ana i na hora mamua iho.
I kona noonoo ana mahope iho he hana keonimana ole loa ia e hana aku ai i kekahi lede iwaena o kekahi anaina maikai, o kona pii aku la no ia no ka hale maluna no ka wehe ana ae i kona koloka holokaa ame kona papale. I ka waiho ana aku la o kona koloka holokaa iloko o ka rumi,, hoi hou mai la oia ilalo i kahi e akoakoa ana o na malihini, a hele pono lei aku la aku ana ma ka aoao o Elese. Ua ike mai la o Mabela ia hele ana aku la ana a ku ma ka aoao o Elese, a ua hoahewa loa iho oia iaia iho no kona pakalaki, no ke kaa mua ole ana nana ka ike i ka manawa kupono, ina la na hele hou mai oia e hoowalewale ia Hale a noke mai i ka hoopihapiha i kana mau olelo e lilo ai o Elese i mea na Hale e ahewa ai.
Eia nae ua kaa mua ka ike ia Elese no ko Hale hele aku, a hookowa ae la i wahi no Hale e hele pololei aku ai a noho ma kona aoao. Ua hoomaopopo koke ae la no o Elese i ko Hale ano-e mamuli o ka haikea o kona helehelena me ka inoino o na maka, a hawanawana koke ae la:
“E lawe koke aku oe ia’u, e Hale ma kahi e. Makemake au e kamailio aku ia oe hookahi wale no.”
Alaila noi ae la oia i ka nui o na lede e noho ana e hookuu aku iaia, a oiai kona lima e paa aku ana i ko Hale lima, haele pu aku la laua no kekahi wahi mamao.
I ko laua kaawale loa ana ku ma kekahi wahi e hiki ole ai i kekahi poe ke lohe mai i ka laua kamailio ninau iho la o Hale: “Ihea hoi oe i nalowale ai?”
“E hoike aku ana au ia oe i na mea apau ke kaawale aku kaua mai keia hale ino aku. E hoihoi koke aku oe ia’u i ka hale i nei manawa me ke kali ole. Mai nana aku oe i ka Mabela kaohi mai, no ka mea, ua maopopo iaia ko;’u makemake loa e hoi aku i nei manawa, nolaila aole oia e hoao mai ana e kaohi hou ia kaua. E hoihoi koke aku oe ia’u! Ku ae a hele aku kaua!”
No ko Elese makemake loa e kaawale koke aku laua, a no ko Hale makemake iho la no hoi e lohe koke aku oia i ka Elese mau mea e kamailio aku ana iaia, o ko Hale alakai aku la no ia ia Elese a pii aku la i ka rumi maluna. E mau minuke kakaikahi wale no ma ia hope iho haalele mai la laua ia hale, aohe no hoi o Mabela i hele mai e kaohi ia laua mai ko laua haalele koke ana iho ia hale, aole no hoi ana wahi huaolelo hookahi i panee mai ia Hale, a ina no paha no kona kamailio mai aohe no o Hale e kamailio aku ana iaia, no ka mea, ua piha loa o Hale i ka huhu.
Ma ka mea oiaio ua maka’u o Mabela i ka hele mai e kamailio iaia e pane aku o Elese i kekahi mau olelo e eha ai oia, nolaila o kona hoomamao loa kona pono e pa ole aku ai i ka leo.
“He kaikamahine ino oia! E pepehi aku ana au iaia a make ina e loaa ana kekahi manawa kupono ia’u e hana aku ai ia hana!” i mamunamu iho ai o Mabela iloko ona i kona manawa i ike mai ai i ka oili ana aku o Elese ma no ko laua hoi aku no ko laua hale.
I ka hoea ana aku a Hale ma ma kahi o ke kaalio i ku mai ana hoee mua aku la oia ia Elese iluna o ke kaa, a o kona pii aku no hoi koe, aka noi e mai la nae o Elese iaia e uku aku i ke kalaiwa o ke kaa nana oia i hoihoi mai, a e hele mai ana hoi ua kanaka la ma kahi a laua e makaukau ana e kau ae a holo aku.
Ua hookaa aku la o Hale i ka uku kaa i ua kalaiwa la me ka pane ole aku i kahi huaolelo, a ke nana pono loa la nae kona mau maka i na ano apau o ua kalaiwa kaa nei. me he mea la i hiki ai paha iaia ke hoomanao i kona helehelena e poina ole ai no kekahi manawa aku.
Iaia i kau aku ai a noho pono iho la ma ka aoao o Elese, a hoomaka aku la no hoi ke kaa e holo, huli ae la oia e nana ia Elese a i aku la: “Ua kaawale mai la kaua ma kahi mamao e hiki ole ai i kekahi mea ke lohe mai i ka kaua kamailio ana; e oluolu ana anei oe e hoike mai ia’u i na mea apau i hanaia mai maluna ou ame ke kumu hoi o kou haalele ana i ka hale?
Alaila hoike aku la o Elese i na mea apau i hanaia mai maluna ona, elike me kau e ka makamaka heluhelu o ka ike mua ana ae nei ma ka mokuna i hala; a ke hoolono pono loa aku la no hoi o Hale me kona piha loa i ka hoowahawaha ia Mabela ame kona makuakane, no ka laua mea o ka hana ana mai maluna o kana aloha. Ua hoike koke aku oia i kona manao ia Elese no kona hele aku e huli ia Harisona, a e pepehi aku iaia a make, aka, papa e mai la na o Elese i ka i ana mai:
“Mai hana aku oe ia hana e paumaele ai kou mau lima i ke koko, a e lilo ai hoi i kumu e kaawale aku ai oe mai ia’u aku no ka manawa pau ole. Eia ko’u manao, e waiho malie aku ia laua pela a na ke au o ka manawa e hoike mai i ko laua hopena, no ka mea, he hopena ko na mea apau e hana ana i ka ino, a he hopena no hoi ko ka poe apau e hana ana i ka maikai.
“aohe hopena maikai e oili mai ana ina e hana aku ana oe ia hana, aohe waiwai e loaa ana ke pepahi aku oe iaia i nei manawa. O kau hana pono loa e hana ai no ko’u pono, a e lilo ai au i mea inoa maikai imua o na kanaka, a e hoao hou ole ia mai ai hoi kekahi hana hoopoino a hoowalewale hou maluna o’u, e hoike ae oe ma ke akea owau kau wahine mare, a i ka wa e ike mai ai ka lehulehu o oe ka’u kanemare ea. aole lakou e hoao hou mai ana e hoopoino ia’u ma nei mua aku.”
“O. e kuu aloha, aole au e hooko aku ana i kou manao, no ka mea, aole i loaa ia’u ka manao koa e hana aku pela.” me kahi leo liilii loa oia o ka pane ana aku, “Aole i nei manawa!”
Ua hoea aku la ke kamailio mamua mai o kahi hale a laua o ka hoolilo ana i home no laua a ku iho la. oiai no oia e kamailio ana. la lele ana aku a laua huli mai la o Hale e uku i ke kalaiwa a hoomaka aku la ka pii ana no ka hale maluna. la kau ana aku a laua i ka lanai ho-a ae la o Hale i ke kukui uwila. a pii aku la ma ke alanuipii no ka hale maluna. Ia laua i komo aku ai i ka rumi hookipa wehe ae la o Elese i kona koloka.
Ke ku la o Elese me kona nani nui iloko o kona mau aahu a Hale o ka hoolako ana nona, a ke nana aku la hoi o Hale iaia me ka mahalo i, ke kulana hiehie o kana aloha. O ka manao nui no o kona kuai ana i mau aahu nani no elese no ka hoaahu ana aku no ia iaia a nani ke nanaia mai, a e lilo ai hoi i mea no Mabela e eha ai, a ua ike oia i ko Elese lanakila ana maluna o Mabela, mamuli o ka nui mahalo o na malihini ia Elese, aole no ka u’i wale o kona helehelena, aka, o ka nani pu kekahi o kona mau aahu, me he mea la he kulana kamaliiwahine maoli no ko Elese.
Ma kana hoomaopopo iho o Elese ka oia aku o ka u’i mamua o na lede apau ma ka aha himeni i haawiia maloko o ka hale o Mabela ma ia po, a o ka heke no hoi o ka u’i ma ka himeni. a ma ke ano nui ke olelo ae, ua holopono oia ma na hana apau o ia po. He mau mea keia na ua o Hale o ka upu mua ole ana. Ua hoomanao oia no kona makemake ana e ninau aku ia Elese ina e holoponopono ana kona malama ana i kona kulana ma ia po, eia nae aole oia i ninau aku ia Elese.
“Pehea la i maikai loa ai kau himeni ana i keia po?” i ninau aku ai oia ia Elese.
Noho iho la oia iluna o ka noho a ke ku ala no hoi o Elese iluna ma ka aoao o ka noho a nana pono iho la ilalo i kona mau maka.
“Na kekahi o ko’u mau hoaloha, he kumu himeni no ka papa himeni o ka halepule, i a’o mai ia’u i ka himeni ana a wahi ana he leo maikai loa ka ko’u i ka himeni. Ua makemake oia ia’u e hoomau au i ke a’o ana me ia a e hoolilo oia ia’u i wahine himeni maloko o na hale mele a ma na wahi akea, eia nae aohe ae o kuu mama.
“E hoopau kaua i ke kamailio ana no ia mea a e kamailio kaua no kekahi mea e aku. Pehea la kou manao, makemake no anei oe ia’u e lilo i mea kamailioia e na kanaka? Aole anei e loaa kekahi mea hoopakele no’u elike me ka pono i loaa i na wahine i mareia? E Hale, pehea ana ka loihi a’u e noho ai ma keia ano kupanaha a ka lehulehu paha e kamailio mai nei no’u he kaikamahine au i haule i ka hewa, a mamuli o ia ano au e noho a e ola nei, oia hoi, ma ke ano he hookamakama ka’u hana?

“E kuu aloha, aole e hala ana kekahi manawa loihi ma nei mua aku a loaa aku ia oe ia hanohano. Noho iho iluna o kuu u-ha a e kamailio aku au ia oe i kekahi mea.
Mahope o ka hala ana o kekahi manawa o kona milikaa ana ia Elese, i ae la:
“Akahi no au a hoike aku ia oe i keia mea a e pono no e lohe oe. No ka pono o kuu makuakane palupalu a’u i aloha nui ai me kuu uhane a pau aole hiki ia’u ke hoike koke ae ma ke akea no kou lilo ana he wahine mare na’u, a no ko’u pono hoi aole no au e hookuu aku ana ia oe.”
No ka loihi loa o ko laua ala ana, a no ko Elese maluhiluhi no hoi no na hana o ia po, ua lulumi loa ko elese mau maka a ua makemake loa oia e hooluolu, nolaila ua hookuu aku la o Hale iaia e hoi e hiamoe.
Mokuan XXXIII—Ko Hale Mau Manao Like Ole.
Mahope o kona nana ana aku ia Elese a ike aku la ua pauhia loa oia i ka hiamoe kulipolipo, hoi aku la oia a maloko o ka rumi hookipa a noho iho la me ka noonoo nui no kana mau mea e hana hou aku ai; aia o Elese iloko o kona mana ia manawa a ua hiki iaia ke hana aku elike me kona makemake, a he hana pono anei nana ka hookuu hou ana aku iaia? Ina he manao nui kona no ka hoopakeleia ae o kona makuakane mailoko mai o ka pilikia, hookahi wale no alahele oia kona mare aku ia Mabela Harisona.
Eia nae ia manawa ana e nalu ana aohe ona wahi hoihoi iki iho la ia Mabela, ua like loa o Mabela me he mea e loa la, aole oia i ike mua iaia, ua piha loa oia i ka hoowhawaha mahope o ko Elese hoike ana aku iaia i na mea apau i hanaia mai nona; a o kona minamina ia manawa no ko Mabela u’i a no kona waiwai, ua lilo kana mau hana ekaeka o ka hana ana mai i kana mea i aloha ai i mea hoehaeha loa iho la i kona noonoo.
Mahope o ka hala ana o kekahi manawa loihi iaia ma ka noonoo ana, alaila hooholo iho la oia hookahi wale no ana hana pono e hana ai oia ka haalele ana aku i kona makuakane e auamo hookahi no oia i kona popilikia oiai oia e huli ana i kona hauoli ponoi ma o ka mare ana aku ia Elese, a mahope aku e huli a e hoikaika ponoi ai laua i ko laua mau pomaikai, elike me ka naauao ame ka ikaika i loaa iaia.
Me ia ikaika no nae o ia manao iloko ona, a e hooko aku ana hoi, eia nae, aole no i nele ke komo ae o ke aloha makua mamua o kona alahele e alalai ai, a no ka mea, iaia i noonoo iho ai, iloko o na la a pau o ka makuakane ka huli ana i ka waiwai nona mahope aku o kona hala ana, a mamuli o ia hooikaika ana o ka makuakane e loaa ka pomaikai nui nona, pela iho la i komo aku ai oia iloko o ka pilikia. He hana pono anei nana ka haalele ana aku i kona makuakane iloko o ka pilikia, a e hiki ana anei iaia ke uumi iho ia manao makona iloko ona me kona haawi ole i kana kokua i kona makuakane?
Aohe manawa e ae a Hale i auamo ai i ka ehaeha nana i hoonaluea loa i kona noonoo elike me keia, o keia kekahi o na hora hookupilikii loa i kona noonoo. Aohe ana manawa i haawi nui ai i kekahi manawa no ka noonoo ana iho no kona mau pono ame ke koikoi o ka hana e kau mai ana maluna ona, elike me keia.
Ua hoao oia iloko o na la kakaikahi i hala mai ka manawa mai o ko Elese hoaoia ana e hoopoino e Harisona e uumi i kona inaina; ua hoao oia i na manao o Mokana i hoakaka mai ai iaia; ua hoao oia e uumi i kona mau manao ma o ka inu waiona ana, a iloko o ia mau manawa apau e hakaka mau ana kona uhane iloko iho ona i loaa ka mea oiaio.
Ano ua hiki mai ka manawa e ike aku ai oia i ka hua o kana hooikaika ana a i hakaka ai hoi oia iloko iho ona no kekahi manawa, a he mea pono e ikeia aku ka hopena. I nei manawa aohe mea alaiai mawaena ona mae ke kaikamahine u’i ana i aloha ai a i makaukau loa hoi e haawi mai iaia iho nana no na la o kona ola ana ma ke ano oia kana wahine mare.
Mahope iho o kona noonoo ana me ka hohonu loa no kekahi manawa a e hiolo ana no hoi ka hou ma kona lae a ma kona mau papalina, holoholo iho la oia maloko o ka rumi me ka pauna ana ae i keia mau olelo:
“O, e kuu Elese, aole au e hookuu aku ana ia oe* Aole no hoi au e hoao aku ana e hoohaumia ia oe ahiki i kou manawa e lilo mai ai ma’u malalo o ke kanawai! O, e na lani, heaha ana la ka’u e hana aku ai?”
Aia o Elese ke moe lealea mai la maluna o ka moe a ke noonoo pu la oia no kona lawe ana mai iaia maloko o kela hale, he hale i kaulana i na hana hilahila, a no ka mea. o na wahine apau e komo ana maloko o ia mau ano hale he mau wahine wale no lakou e nanaia mai ai e ka lehulehu he poe me na inoa maemae ole, oiai nae ke nana aku ia lakou he kulana o ka poe i mareia ko lakou.
He karaima e kupe ana i ko elese inoa maikai ka lawe ana iaia maloko o ia ano hale. He hana hewa loa nana kona lawe ana mai i kekahi kaikamahine maemae a i ike ole ia mea he hewa ma kela hale, a ke noonoo la nae oia pehea ana la e hiki ai iaia ke holoi ae i kela hewa ana i hana ai aiai ua hanaia ka hewa.
“Ua oi loa aku kona maemae maluna o’u.” wahi ana i namunamu iho ai. “He oi loa aku kona maemae ame ka maikai mamua o’u e kupono ole ai oia e lilo i wahinemare na’u. O, ina no hoi aole au i paa malalo o kela aelike hoopalau, ina ua kukala koke ae au i keia manawa oia ka’u wahinemare!”
Na ka hapalua hora kona holoholo ana maloko o ka rumi me ka nalu nui ana iloko iho ona no kana mea e hana aku ai. aole ona makemake e kumakaia ia Elese. aohe no hoi ona makemake e haalele iaia, a no kekahi manawa me he mea la aohe loaa o ke alahele maikai ana e koho ai. a i ka hala ana o kekahi manawa o kona nalu ana. alaila ulu ae la kekahi manao maikai iloko ona a hauoli ae la oia, elike me ka hauoli ana o kekahi kanaka iloko o ka pilikia. a i ka manawa e loaa ai o kekahi kokua manao ae ka palekana.
