"Aia hoi paha la, ua pololoei kau mea i hoike mua aku nei i a oe, aole o Keaka Bale, ke kanaka a Mr. Makuaia i makau ai. aka he kanaka okoa loa, ua hooiaio ia mai ia manao ou ma o keia inoa la o Haka."

"Ma ka nana akui ka manao o ka mea nana i kakau i kela mau olelo, ua ake loa oia i ka Mr. Makuaia pane, e hoikeia aku me ka hookahalia hou ole aku."

"Ae. pela i ka kaua nana aku, aka malia paha he mau hana pulapu wale no kela ma kona aoao, no ka hoomakaukau ana mai ia Mr. Makuaia."

He elua mau pahi i kakiaia aku i kela pepa manoanoa i ke kumulaau, kii aku la o Nikola, a wehe ae la i na pahi, me ka lawe ana mai hoi i ka pepa hoolaha. a nana ae la @ kekahi aoao. aole he mau olelo i kakauia malaila, koe @ no na olelo hoolaha papa, i ka poe komohewa ana maluna o na aina o Mr. Makuaia.

"Oiai o Mr. Makuaia ka mea i kuleana i keia pepa, e lawe aku ana au a haawi iaia," i kamailio ae ai o Nikola, me kona heluhelu hou ana iho i na manao i kakauia. "@ kau koho. o ke kanaka nana i kakau i keia mau olelo, o ke kanaka hookahi no ia a Makuaia o ka ike ana ma ka po nei."

"Ina o keia ke kanaka a Mr. Makuaia o ka ike ana ma ka po i hala, alaila heaha iho la ke kumu e makau wale aku ai no o Tile, i kekahi kanaka ana i ike mua ole ai? Aole loa oia i kamaaina i kekahi kanaka ma keia inoa o Haka!"

Haalele iho la laua i kahi o ke kumulaau, me ko Nikola paa pu ana i kela pepa i kakauia, a ia laua i hoea aku a ma kekahi molai alanua. e moe ana no ke kahawai ku iho la o Beka, me ka haawi ana mai i koua lima akau imua o Nikola. me ka pane ana mai:

"E hookuu mai oe iau e Nikola. e hoi pololei ana no @ kou wahi home, no kekahi manawa okoa aku au e @ pu ai me Tile, nolaila o ke aloha no kou a hui hou aku kaua.

Kupou mai la ke poo o Beka a kaha aku la hele. aia hoi o Nikola Ke ku aku la a nana i ke kaikamahine opio, a ua lilo kela hookaawale koke ana a laua. i mea nui nana e noonoo la, me he mea la, na hoopoina loa ae la oia, i na kumu o ke komo ana o ka makau iloko o kona haku.

Ke noonoo laua o Nikola. aole he hana maikai ma konaoao ka hoopilipili mau ana aku me Beka, a i ole @ aku paha e hooipoipo me kela kaikamahine. Ua nana aku oia ia Beka ma ke ano. ua kaokoa loa ae kona mau @ kana mau hana. i ka na wahine o ke kulana hanohano a i loaa ka hoonaauao kiekie ia. He hookahi kumu nui ka hoea ana aku o kela kaikamahine no kona hale. no @ makemake e lohe i kaia nei hookani ana i ka piano, @ hoi kona himeni ana mai imua ona.

Ina o kela hele ana aku a Beka Kamerona no @ a o kekahi o na wahine o ke kulana hanohano a @ elike me ke kulana i loaa ia ua o Nikola, e manao mae ho ana no oia, aia iloko o kela wahine ka makemake @ hoohihi iaia, aka no Beka Kamerona, aole oia i ike i @ ula o ka poe maikai, ua hele wale aku no oia ma ke @ malia he mea maikai no ia i kona noonoo, me kona nana o @ i ka mea a na kanaka e kamailio mai ana noa.

Aole i lilo kela hoea ana mai a Beka Kamerona, i me @ nui nana e noonoo ai. He elua wale no ana manawa ike ai ia Nikola. e lilo ole ai kela manawa pokole o ko @ kamaaina ana, i kumu nona e hele kino aku ai imua o Nikola. Ua hoea aku nae oia maloko o ka rumi moe o ke kanaka malihini, ua umeia aku kona mau manao pohihihi mamula o na mele kaili puuwai a Nikola, i hookani mai @ maluna o ka piano, a iloko o ka noonoo o Nikola, he hookahi wale no ana mea e olelo ae ai no kela ano o Beka, @ nana mai kela kaikamahine maluna on a, ma ke ano he ma hoaloha laua.

Aole i nele ke komohia ana aku o na manao hoohihi a hoomakaleho iloko  Nikola no Beka Kamerona, i ke kila kila maoli no o koua oiwi kino, a i ka huapala no hoi @ kona helehelena, ua hiki loa i kona mau lima. ke @ mai a puili aku iaia imua o kona umauma: oiai nae ua @ Nikola e noonoo ana no kela mau hiona i hala aku, i @ minuke helu wale no i kaahope aku, hoomaikai iho la oia i kona lanakila ana maluna o ka hoowalewale.

O ka mea nae nana i hoopohihihi mai i kona noonoo, o ia no kela haalele koke ana mai o Beka iaia. ua hikiwawe loa ka hoololi ana o ua kaikamahine nei. i kona manao, mua no ko laua hele like aku i ka home o Mr. Makuaia. alaila nalu wale iho la no oia iloko on a, malia paha ua komohia aku kekahi noonoo iloko o Beka, he mea maikai ole, kona ikeia mai, e hele pu aku ana me Nikola, o lilo auanei ia i mea ua na kanaka e kamailio hele ai nona.

No ua o Nikola nae, aole on a nana i ka mea a na kanaka e kamailio mai ai, in a no ko Beka, hele pu me ia no ka mea ua nana. aku oia i kela kaikamahine ma ke ano @hoaloha nona. a ua hoohihi hoi oia, no ka nani o kona leo. me ka makaukau, e kokua aku ia Beka, ma na ano apau, e hooiia ae ai ka nani o kona leo i ka himeni.

Mamuli o kela heluhelu mau ana iho a ua o Nikola, i ala mai ai kekahi noonoo, o ke kanaka nana i kakau i na olelo hooweliweli ia Mr. Makuaia, aole ia o ke kanaka a Mrs. Begena i makau ai, no ke kumu, aole e aa ana kekahi kanaka ino, elike me Keaka Bale, e hooweliweli mai ia Makuaia.

O Mr. Kaika, ke kanaka lawelawe o Mr. Makuaia ka mea o ka loaa ana aku i ua o Nikola, a haawi aku la i kona pepa inoa. no ka lawe ana aku e haawi ia Mr. Makuaia.

"Aole ou manao, a makemake o Mr. Makuaia e kike ia oe i keia manawa aia no oia maloko o kona rumi kahi i noho ai." i pane mai ai o Mr. Kaika.
