“Ina i like na wahine apau loa me kou ano e Mrs. Kauwila, he kakaikahi loa na hihia oki mare e laweia imua o na aha hookolokolo, a he kakaikahi loa hoi ka poe e komohia iloko o na haawina o ke kaumaha ame ke kaniu-hu.

Aole hoi o oe ke hala aku imua ona.”
“He hana paakiki loa nona ka huli hoi hou ana mai i Kapalakiko nei, no ka mea aia ka maka’u ame ka hooohooo mau iloko ona, no kona paa aku i ka hopuia, a, o kekahi no hoi, he hana hilahila loa nona ka halawai hou ana me kona mau hoaloha maanei nei, ame ka poe no apau i kamaaina iaia,” wahi a Kanani me ka hele o kona helehelena a haikea pu.
“Ke manao nei au, he hana maalahi loa no ka hooponopono ana, me ka hui banako, e hopohopo ole ai oia no kona hopuia aku, Ina e hiki ana iaia ke hoohiki mai, e hoihoi no oia i na dala apau ana o ka lawe aihue ana mailoko aku o ka banako aole loa o’u kanalua, no ka hoopau o na ona o ka banako i ka manao e hoopilikia aku maluna ona.

“Ina e loaa ana he hooponopono maikai ana o keia ano, elike me kau e kamailio mai nei a kuu poropeka, alaila ua olokaaia ae kekahi haawe kaumaha mailoko ae o kuu noonoo a ua hoopihaia mai hoi au meka hauoli. Malia e ae ana o Mr. Kauwila, e hana mai elike me kena manao ou, aka nae aia au a hoea aku imua ona, owau ponoi no ka mea nana e hookomo aku i kela manao iloko ona, e hoololi oia i ke ano o kona ola ana, a e hoolilo hoi iaia i kanaka maikai, a mahaloia e kona mau haku hana, a e kona mau hoaloha lehulehu.”
Hoolohe mai la ka Poropeka Kadina i kela hoakaka a Kanani, me ke kaumaha o kona manao, no ka mea ua paa loa ko Kanani manao, e hele aku e hui pu me Kauwila, aole hoi elike me ka ua poropeka nei i noonoo ai, nolaila he mea makehewa wale no kona hoao hou ana mai, e kamailio, aka aia nae iloko ona ka hophopo, no ka hookomo hou ia aku o ka wahine opio iloko o ke kaumaha, ina no kona holo kino aku no Aukekelalia.
Elike me ke kamaaina o ka Poropeka Kadma i ka nui ame ka lehulehu o na kanaka, i like aku ko lakou mau ano me ko Kauwila, i ka manawa e kiola aku ai kekahi mea i na noonoo ame na hana pono apau, a hooko aku la i na manao ma-ua he hana paakiki loa, lakou loli ana ae i poe kanaka maikai, koe wale no, a ike maoli i ka hewa o ia mau hana, a mihi me ka walania iloko o ko lakou naau.

Hoakaka aku la oia maloko o kana leka, no kona makaukau e holo aku e hui pu me ia, me ka olelo pu ana aku nae, he mea pono iaia ke hoihoi mua mai i ke koena o na dala ana i lawe kolohe ai mai ka banako aku, i loaa ai ka manao oluolu iaia, i ko laua manawa e noho pu aku ai.

Iloko o kela leka loihi, aole loa he wahi hua olelo hookahi, e hoahewa aku ana no na mea a Kauwila i hana ai, a i ole ia, no ka nui paha o na ehaeha ame na kaumaha a ua o Kanani o ka auamo ana, aka o na olelo aloha wale no ame ka makee no kana kane, kana mau i kakau ai. Iloko o kekahi puolo nui, i hookomo iho ai oia i kana mau leka, me ko laua kii, alaila me na hua pula e nonoi ana no ka pono o kana kane, me ka waiho ana hoi, na ke Akua e alakai a e hooponopono mai i ko laua ola ana no ia mua aku, waiho aku la oia i kela puolo, no ka makaukau, e haawi aku i ka elele nana e lawe aku i kela ukana, a imua o kanakana.
Ma kekahi kakahiaka mai; i kona hele ana aku no kona keena hana, lawe pu aku la oia i ua puolo nei, malia o hoea mai ka hoaloha o kana kane, ua makaukau oia me kana leka, o ka haawi mai la no ia iaia.
Iloko o ke kahaha o ka manao o ua o Kanani, aole i hoea mai kela hoaloha o Kauwila ma ia la. A ua hoopilikia nui ia aku no hoi ka noonoo o ka Poropeka Kadina, i kona nana mai, i ka haikea maoli o ka helehelena o Kanani, ua maopopo no nae iaia ke kumu, mamuli mai no ia o ka noonoo nui no kana kane.
He ekolu nae la mahope mai, ua hoea aku la kela hoaloha o Kauwila a haaki mai la no hoi o Kanani i ka puolo iaiam a lawe pololei aku la ua kanaka nei a haawi i ke kapena o ka moku, me na hoakaka apau no kana mea e hana aku ai, o ia o ka moku i Aukekelalia, aole hoi e haawi i kela puolo ma ka lima o kekahi mea e aku.
Ma keia wahi, oiai o Noela Kauwila e kakali mai la ma ka aina mamao, no ka huli hoi aku o ka moku, me ka nuhuli aku ana ka mea kakau moolelo i kou noonoo e ka makamaka heluhelu ihope, ma kela po, a Kauwila i haalele aku ai i kana mau mea aloha mahope, a holo mahuka aku la no ka pee ana iaia mai kona mau hoaloha aku, a mai ka mana aku hoi o ke kanawai.
Mahope iho o ke kauoha ana aku ia Kanani e hookomo mai i kekahi mau lole kupono maloko o ka paiki, no kana huaka’i hoopunipuni ko Kikako, ma kela po o kona holo mahuka ana, mai kona home aku, ua hoi aku la oia noloko o kona keena oihana, a hoakoakoa mai la i kana mau palapala waiwai apau, a ku ka paila, me ka hookomo ana maloko o na pakeke o kona lole, alaila houluulu mai la i na bila aie apau, pela me na leka lehulehu, a kiola aku la iloko o ke kapuahi hoopumehana, aia hoi ka minoaka o ke kolohe maluna o kona helehelena, no ka nalohia ana aku o kela mau mea nana i hoopilikia nui mai i kona noonoo.
Ua hoea aku i na hora o ke aumoe, akahi no a pau kana mau hana i makemake ai e hooko, a iaia no ka ike, aole he mea i koe ana e hana aku ai, a ua pa’uhia hoi na mea apau i ka hiamoe, nolaila me na kaina wawae nehe malie i like aku me ko ka popoki, i pii malie aku ai oia ka hale maluna, kahi a kana wahine ame ka laua kaikamahine e hiamoe mai la, me ka nanea me ka moeuhane mua ole, eia ke kane a makemake hoi, ke hoolala nei e haalele iho i kana mau mea aloha, e auamo aku i na kaumaha he nui.

Ke wehewehe ae la ke alaula o ka malamalama i kela manawa, nolaila kamoe pololei aku la kona alahele no ka uwapo, kahi o kekahi moku e ku mai ana, a i makaukau loa hoi, e haalele iho i ke awa, ma na hora o kela kakahiaka, ma ka manawa e pii mai ai ke kai.
Ua kuai mua o Kau wila i kona tikiki ma ke ahiahi mamua aku, a no ka haalele kakahiaka nui iho o kela moku i ka uwapo, ua hoi na ohua, apau e hiamoe maluna o ka moku, a o Kauwila wale no ka mea i hoi no kona home. Ua hoea aku oia no ke keena kuai tikiki o ka moku, i ka manawa e aneane ana e paa kela keena, a haawi aku la i kekahi inoa kapakapa, oia o Leona Woka, pela iho la i loaa ole ai ka ike i ka lehulehu, ua kau oia maluna o ka moku.
Ma kela kau ana aku a ua o Kauwila maluna o ka moku, a hoi pololei loa aku la oia noloko o kona rumi, a haule aku la hia mao, me kona maopopo ole i ka manawa i haalele iho ai o ka moku i ka uwapo.
I kona puoho ana ae nae, aia ka moku i ka moana akea kahi i holo ai a i wahi nona e ike ole ia mai ai e na ohua’e ae malia he poe kekahi iwaena o na ohua i kamaaina iaia, ao’e loa ua o Kauwila i makemake e haalelekona rumi, me ka hoike mua ana mai i na kuene, he nui kona poluea me ka ma’i, nolaila ua manaoio ia aku e na alimoku a e na ohua e ae, o kela ke kumu oiaio o ka noho mau o kela ohua maloko o kona rumi.
He nui na buke moolelo a ua o Kauwila o ka hookomo ana maloko o kona paiki, nolaila iaia e noho mau ana maloko o kona rumi, he hookahi no ana hana, o ia ka heluhelu ana i kela mau buke, a i kekahi manawa no hoi, e noonoo nui ana no oia no kona oihana.
I ke ku ana o ka moku no Kika-ne, ua kakali oia ahiki i ka pau loa ana o na ohua i ka lele iuka, akahi no oia a haalele aku i kona rumi a hoi aku la a noho maloko o kekahi lale hoolimalima, i noho nui ole ia e ka poe hanohano.
O kana hana mua loa, oiai ma kela aina malihini, o ia no ka nana ana i kekahi oihana, e loaa nui mai ai na pomaikai iaia, a mahope o ka hoohala ana i kekahi mau la lehulehu ma ka makaikai
Ana i kela ame keia oihana like ole, hooholo iho la oia e komo aku iloko ka ihana kuai huluhipa, me ka hookomo ana aku i kekahi huina dala mahuahua maloko o kela oihana.
I kinohi o kona lawelawe ana i kela oihana kuai huluhipa, ua ukaliia oia e na ulia laki, me kona ike maoli iho no i ka holomua, aka nae, he kanaka malihini oia ma kela oihana, nolaila iaia i hookomo aku ai i kana mau dala, iloko o kela oihana, a maloko no hoi o na oihana hoopukapuka e ae, ua halawai iho la oia me ke poho, ahiki i kona komo hou ana aku iloko o kona ano kahiko, o ia no ka lilo ana i ka inu waiona ame ka piliwaiwai.
Iloko o kela mau hana uhauha, ua puehu aku la kana mau dala apau, a i wahi e loaa ai iaia ka ai, a e ukuia ai kona mau hoolilo o ka noho ana, ua kono okoa ia mai oia e hele e huli i kekahi hana nana, a ma ka ulia laki no hoi, ua loaa he kulala iaia. He kakauolelo maloko o kekahi hale oihana kuai hulu nui, a no kekahi manawa kona noho hana ana me kela hui, ua hoikeke aku oia i kona mau ano maikai, e hilinaiia mai ai oia e kona mau haku hana.
Oiai oia e noho hana ana malalo o kela hui, i hoounaia ai oia ma Parisa, a halawai pu ai me Magureta a kaua e ka makamaka heluhelu i ike ai ma kekahi mokuna aku nei i hila o keia moolelo.
Ma kela hui ana me Magureta, i ala mai ai na manao hopohopo iloko ona no ka hui pu aku me Reginola kona kaikoeke oiai no nae o kekahi o na manao nui kona makemake loa ana e hoea no Parisa, no ke kukakuka pu ana no ia me Regnola, me ka manaolana e loaa mai ana na kokua ana mai kona kaikoke mai i wahi nona e pono ai, ma kona manawa e huli loi lou aku ai no Aukekelalia.
Ua hoohauoli loa ia aku ka manao o na haku hana o ua o Kauwila, no ka holomua loa o ka lakou oihana, malalo o ka Kauwila lawelawe ana ma Palani, nolaila, ua hoomahuahuaia ae la kona ukuhana, me ka haawi pu ia ana mai he mau kea nona iloko o kela oihana.
Ua hoolana loa ia mai ko Kauwila manao mamuli o keia kulana maikai i loaa iaia, me ka hoeueu pu ia mai o kona noonoo, e hooikaika oia, ma na ano apau e lilo o kanaka holomua ma ka lawelawe oihana ana. O ka mea apiki nae, o na kanaka ma kela wahi, he poe wale no lakou, e kamailio ana i na olelo kikoo-la, o ko lakou noho ana, he nohona ia, o ka poa i maa ole i ka pohai o ka poe maikai, no kela mau ano, i ala mai ai na hoomanao ana iloko ona no Kanani, ame ko laua home ma Kapalakiko.
Oiai kela mau noonoo e oiliili mau ae ana iloko o ua o Kauwila i lohe ai oia e haalele aku ana kona hoaloha o Mr. Kakona ia Aukekelalia, a holo mai no Kapalakiko, pela oia i hooholo iho ai e kakau i kekahi leka ia Kanani, a haawi mai malalo o ka malu o keia keonimana, ka mea ana i hilinai mai ai, e loaa pololei aku ana ia i kana wahine, no ka mea ua kaokao ae keia kanaka mai ka nui mai o kana poe i kamaaina ai ma Aukekelalia.
No ka hoea ana aku o kela leka imua o Kanani ame ka Kanani pane, ua ike mua ae nei kaua ia mea; aka nae he manao maikai ole ilkok ona no ka hoea aku o ka moku a ke kauoha iaia mai kekahi mai o na ona o ka hui, e me ka nuhou hoohauoli mai kana wahine aku.
Iloko o kela manawa a Kauwila e kakali mai la me ka, hoomanawanui o ke ku aku o ka moku, ua nui na noonoo like ole e lauwila ana ilkok ona, a i kekahi la, ua loaa mai la ke kauoha iaia mai kekahi mai o na ohana o ka hui, e holo oia no Melabona, kekahi o na aina hanai hipa, no ke kuui hoolilo ana mai i ka huluhipa i ko lakou hui.
Ua like okeia i mea maikai ole loa i kona noonoo, aole no kona makemake ole e hele aku e hooko i ka hana e pono ai kona mau haku, aka no kona kauka’i, aia a ku mai ka mokuahi me kekahi leka mai ia Kanani mai, alaila holo aku oia no ka hooko ana i keia hana hou, nolaila ua hoike okoa aku la oia imua o kona mau haku e hoopanee i kana huaka’i no hookahi pule, a no elua pule paha, a i ole, e hoouna aku i kekahi kanaka okoa ma kona wahi.
Ua hoole paakiki mai la okana mau haku i kea manao, me ka olelo ana mai, aole e hiki ke hoopaneeia kela huaka’i, no ke mea ua ma’i kekahi o na hoa hui, a o ua o Kauwila wale no ka mea kupono e hoouna ia ai ma kela hana ano nui, aole e hiki i kekahi poe kakauolelo e ae.
Ua hoopilikia loa ia mai ko Kauwila manao, a ke noonoo nui la oia i ka mea pono ana e hana ai, i wahi e loaa mai ai ka leka ana e kaunui aku ana mai ia Kanani mai, no ka mea ua haawi aku oia i ke kauoha paa i kona hoaloha, aole e haawiia mai kela leka i ka mea okoa ae. Aka iai nei wale no, a i ole, kekahi mea paha ana e hoouna aku ai no ka hui pu ana me ke kapena, o ka mokuahi.
Mahope iho o kona noonoo ana me ke akahele loa i kana mea e hana ai, hooholo iho la oia e waiho aku i ke kauoha i kekahi o na kakauolelo e noho hana pu ana maloko o ka hui, o’a ka mea nana e hele aku e hui pu me ke kapena o ka mokuahi i ka wa e ku mai ai, a noi aku ina he leka kekahi na ua o Kauwila.
Ua maikai keia i ka manao o kela kakauolelo, me kona hooia ana aku imua o Kauwila, e makaala loa ana oia i ka wa e ku mai ai o ka mokuahi, a ina no ka loaa mai o kekahi leka, alaila e malama loa oia, ahiki i ka huli hoi hoi ana aku o ua o Kauwila mai kana huaka’i mai e hele ana no ka pono o ka hui.
No kela hooia ana aku o keia hoaloha, e makaala loa ana oia i ka mokuahi me ka malama pono i kekahi leka, ke hoea mai, ua hoomana loa ia mai la ko Kauwila noonoo, nolaila haawi aku la oia i kona ae, i na haku o kona hui, e hele oia e hooko i ka hana nui i waihoia mai ai iaia.
Ma kel ahuaka’i huli hoi a ka mokuahi no Aukekelalia, ua ku e aku ia mamua ae o ka manawa i hoolahaia a ua nanea loa kela kakauolelo a Kauwila i haawi aku ai i kauoha no ka hele ana e hui pu me ke kapena o ka mokuahi, nolaila aole oia i hoea aku no ka uwapo ma ka manawa o ke ku ana mai o ka moku, a iaia i haupu ae ai no, ka hana i waihoia aku malalo o kona malu, ua huli hoi aku ka mokuahi no Amerika, me ka maopop ole iaia, ina paha he leka kekahi i hoounaia mai na Kauwila, aole paha.
Ua hoopilikia loa ia aku ka noonoo o keia kakauolelo no ka hiki ole ana iaia ke hooko aku i ka hana i kauohaia mai ai iaia e Kauwila, no ka mea ma kona noonoo, aia he mea ano nui loa maloko o ka leka i manaoia oiai ua ike maoli aku no oia i ka pihoihoi loa o Kauwila, no ka hiki ole iaia ke noho ahiki i ke ku ana mai o ka mokuahi.
Pehea nae oia e hoakaka aku ai imua o Kauwila, ke hoi mai a ninau mai iaia, ina he leka kekahi a ke kapena o ka moku i haawi mai ai iaia? No kekahi mau la kona noonoo nui ana i kana mea e hau aai, ahiki i kona hooloi ana iho,he hookahi wale nomea nana e hoopakele ae iaia mai ke ahewaia mai, o ia no ka hoopunipuni aku imua iaia Kauwila, aole he leka i hoounaia mai ana, ua hele aku oia huiopu me ke kapena o ka mokuahi, a ninau aku ina he mea kekahi i haawiia mai iaia, o kana e pane aku ai, ua hoole loa aku ke kapena ma na ano apau.
He mea oiaio, i ka huli hoi ana mai o Kauwila mai kana huaka’i mai, o ka mea mua loa ana o ka ninau ana mai i kela kakauolelo, ina paha he leka kekahi anan, o ka pane no i haawiia aku iaia, aole he leka i loaa mai, a oiai ua hilinai piha aku ua o Kauwila maluna o keia hoaloha ona, ua manaoio mai la no oia, ua pololei na mea apau i kamailio ia aku.
Ua aneane maoli ua o Kauwila e maule, i kona manawa i lohe aku ai i ka hoike a kona hoaloha, me ka hopohopo loa o kela kakauolelo hoopunipuni, e loohia ana o Kauwila i kekahi pilikia, nolaila i wahi w ili ole aku ai na ahewaia maluna ona, ua ku koke ae la oia, a hele mai ia Kauwila aku, elike me ka mea i ike maoli i kona hewa.
:Ua hana hewa loa aku au imua o kuu hoaloha, wahi a ua kakauolelo nei o ka hooho ana ae, iaia i kaawale aku ai i kahi e loa. “Me he mea la, aia kekahi mea ano nui loa ana kauka’i aku ai e loha, ke kumu o kona ano e ana, a ke kaumaha loa nei au no ko’u palaka ana i kana kauoha ia’u
Aka he hana maikai ole na’u ka hoike ana aku i ka mea oiaio imua ona, mahope o ka hoopunipuni ana aku iaia.”
No kekahi mau la mahope mai, ua ku a ma’i maoli o Kauwila, mamuli o ka inoino o kona noonoo, no ka loaa ole ana mai he leka mai ia Kanani mai, elike me kana i manaoio ai, aole i’o no he leka i haawiia mai i ke kapena o ka moku ahi.
