Ma ka wa a ke kauwa i hoea aku ai mua o ka Haku Opio Albans, ua hoike aku la ke kauwa iaia ua makemake ia oia e kona makuahine, a e hele aku oia iloko o kona keena malu. I ka lohe ana o ua Haku Opio nei i keia kauoha a kona makuahine, ua kau mai la ka weli makua maluna ona, oiai, ua hoomanao koke aae la ia he hana ano nui loa ka kena makuahine i kauoha mai ai iaia e hele aku iloko oia wahi keena. Ala mai la hoi na hoomanao ana iloko ona no ua wahi keena, la, oia no kahi keena e lohe mau ai oia i ka leo oolea o kona makuahine i keia ame keia wa @ kona makuahine e makemake ai e kamailio mai iaia ma ke ano e hooponopono mai iaia po kekahi mau hana kekee a kona luaui makuahine i manao ai he mea pono ke hooponoponoia a kulike e kike me kona makemake.
I kela wa i ku ae ai ua Haku Opio nei i luna me ka maikai ole o kona noonoo, a ia wa oia i olelo iho ai iaia iho:
"Heaha la hoi keia a ua luahine nei e makemake nei ia'u e hele aku- Aole hoi a'u mea ano nui o ka hana ana iho nei i keia mau la e manaoia ai la, hoi he hana ia i ku i ka ahewaia e kela ame keia mea makemake i ka nohona elike me na aneia o ka lani. Ua ike no au, aole loa au i puhi baka iki maloko o kakahi rumi i papaia ai ia hana iloko nei o ka hale. Ke hoomanao poina ole nei nohoi au, aohe a'u wa i hoopuka ai i na huaolelo i ku ole i ke ano keonimana. Heaha la hoi keia? Aka, ke hoike mai nei nae kekahi mea anui e hoea aku ai au inua o ka noho hookolokolo o kuu makuahine."
Ua hele aku la ua Haku Opio nei i ka rumi i kauohaia mai ai oia e hele aku. Aole nohoi me na kapuai awiwi loa, aka, me ka malie kupono nohoi e hoea aku ai imua o kona luaui makuahine, ka wa nae e oleloia ai, ua uluhua loa kona makuahine i ke kali iaia.
I kona hoea ana aku ma ka puka o ka rumi i kauohaia mai ai ia e hele aku, ua ku iki iho la ia , a me he mea la ua lohe oia i kekahi mea e uwe ana me ka ehaeha.
"Heaha la hoi keia?" wahi ana i ninau iho ai iaia iho me ke pihoihoi nui.
Alaila, wehe aku la ia i ke pani puka, a i kona komo ana aku ilooko, ia wa ia i ike aku ai i kekahi hiohiona ano e loa, e o ai ka li maeele iloko o kona houpo. Ike aku la ia i kona makuahine e ku mai ana me ka helehelena i uulupuniiaa o ka inaina ame ka huhu, aka, he hanohano kapukapu no nae kona kulana apau.
Ike iho la ia ia Naomi Winta e kukuli ana maluna o ka papahele e kulou ana kona poo, a e uwe ana hoi. Ia wa i ulu koke mai ai ka noonoo iloko ona ame ka weliweli nai, no ka mea e pili ana ia Miss Naomi Winta.
I ko ia nei komo ana aku hoi iloko, ia wa i pane mai ai kona makuahine:
"Ua hoouna aku nei au ia oe, e Bereterana, e hele mai oe, a e kaana pu me kou luaui makuahine nei ma kekahi hana maikai ole i ikeia e a'u ma na ia apau o ko'u ola ana ma keia ao."
Ua puai ae ia ka ula ma na papalina o ka Haku Opio, huahuai ae la na manao pioo ahiu iloko ona, a me he mea ia e nu ana kekahi manao weliweli loa iloko ona.
A hoomau mai la nohoi kona makuahine i ke kamailio ana mai iaia:
"Aole wale no keia he hana maikai ole, aka, he hana keia e haehae ana i ka puuwai o kou makuahine."
"Heaha keia, e Mama? E hoike koke mai oe ia'u i ke ano o keia hana. "Heaha ka pilikia?"
"Eia ka pilikia, e kuu keiki," wahi a @a Duke-wahine Adeliza nei i pane mai ai i kana keiki, me ke kuhikuhi ana ae hoi o kona lima i ka hainaka ame ka @wili lipine e waiho ana maluna o ke pakaukau. "O keia mau mea, no keia wahine opio ia, a, e kuu keiki, me ka @hane i mokumokuia e ka ehaeha, e hai aku au ia oe, ua loaa keia mau mea maloko o kou rumi huli palapala."
He mea maopopo, he kanaka puuwai wiwo ole o Haku Sana Albans, aka, imua nae o kona makuahine i keia minute, he kanaka puuwai hohe wale oia. Ua haikea pu ae la kona helehelena, me he mea la ua haukeke ae la kona mau lahelahe, a, o ke okooko ahi i ka wiwo ole ame ka makau ole e olino ana ma kona mau onohi maka, ua nalowale iho la.
"Nolaila, e kuu keiki," wahi a Adeliza i hoomau mai al i ke kamailio ana i kana keiki, "pehea la i hoea aku ai kela mau mea maloko o kou rumi, a, aole hoi au i moeuhane mua e hoea mai ana ka wa e hoholo ae ai ka ula ohelohelo o ke koko ma ko'u mau papalina nei no ka ohila ana iho nou e kuu keiki."
Me ka pioloke nui i loko ona, ua pane aku la ia imua o kona makuahine:
"E kuu Mama aloha, alia oe e haawi mua mai ia'u nei i na ohila ana a kou mau papalina, e kali oe a hiki i ka wa e maopopo ai ia oe na hana io au, kau keiki nei i kekahi mea e aia io mai ai ia mea maluna ou."
Ma keia wa naae a ua Haku Opio nei i pane aku ai ia kona makuahine, ua ku iho la no ia me ka hiehie nui a hanohano nohoi.
"O ka mea a'u i makemake ai e kamailio aku ai ia oe, e kuu keiki," wahi a ua Duke-wahine nei i pane mai ai, "he mea ia na'u i olelo iho ai iloko o'u, ua oi loa aku ka pono e make oe mamua, alaila, kamailio aku au ia oe, a i mea hoi kekahi no'u e ike ai o ka hewa i hanaia ai e oe, ua hele pu aku la ia me oe iloko o ka luakupapau.

Pehea i hiki ai keia mau mea iloko o kou mau rumi?"
Ma kahi nae o ka pane ana aku o ua Haku Opio nei i ka ninau a kona makuahine i nnau mai ai iaia, ua huli ae la ia a nana aku la i ka wahine opio. Ike aku la ia ua hele kona helehelena a keokeo pu, a o ka hiohiona o ka mea i hele kona puuwai a piha i ka walohia, oia kona ano ia wa. Alaila, kaikai mai la ia i kona mau maka mai ka wahineopio mai a nana aku la i kona makuahine, a pane aku la:
"E Mama, aole a'u mea e hai aku ai ia oe. Aole paha e ili maluna o'u ka hewa o na maau hele wale ana ae o kekahi mau mea iloko o ko'u rumi."
"Alaila, e kuu keiki, e olelo mai ana anei oe, ua komo keia kaikamahine iloko o kou rumi ma kou wa i kaawale aku ai mai laila aku?"
"E Mama, aohe o'u manao oia ano, aole. He hiki maoli ole iho la no ia'u ke pane aku i haina no kau ninau. Aohe a'u mea e olelo hou aku ai ia oe."
"Alaila, e kuu keiki, na kaumaha loa au i ka hai ana aku ia oe, ua makolukolu maoli ko'u ike i na mea i pili ana i ka hoea ana o keia mau mea e pili ana i ka hoea ana o keia mau mea iloko o kou rumi. Ina hoi he mea hiki ia'u ke waiho aku ia oe mai na hana hoohaahaa o kekahi ano ninaninau ana elike iho la me keia, ina la ua hana no au pela, eia nae, aole hiki ia'u, ia kou makauhine nei ke hana pela.

Nolaila, e kuu keiki, o oe no anei hoi kekahi e hoole mai ana i ka hoike ana mai i ke ano i hoea ai keia mau mea iloko o kou keena?"
Aole i pane aku ua Haku Sana Alabana nei imua o kona makuahine. Ia wa nae ua maha iho la kona naau pioloke i kona hoomaopopo ana iho aole ka o Naomi Wintai hoike imua o kona luaui makuahine i kekahi mea e pili ana i ka hainaka ame ka owili lipine a kona makuahine i ninau mai ai iaia, a hooholo iho la oia iloko iho ona, aole no oia e hai aku ana i kona makuahine, a e paa loa ana no ia i ka ole a hiki i ka hope. Nani ka maha ana ae o na uluku o kona naau, aka, ua lilo nae ia maha ana ona i mea e no kekahi naau e ae e haawe ai i ka ehaeha.
No ka pane ole ana aku o ua Haku Opio nei imua o kona makuahine ia wa i kamailio hou mai ai oia iaia:
"He mea makehewa loa ia oe, e kuu keiki, ke hoao e uhi pu wale mai i keia hana a'u e ninau aku nei ia oe.

"Aole aau e hoole aku, aole nohoi au e ae aku," wahi a na Haku Opio nei i pane aku ai i kona makuahine.
"Hookahi mea maopopo loa ia'u," wahi a ua Duke-wahine nei i pane mai ai, "he mea oiaio ka'u i hoike aku la imua ou, a imua ponoi nohoi o keia kaikamahine. Aole oe i hoole mai, aole nohoi keia kaikamahine i hoole mai, maopopo loa he mea oiaio keia. Aka, hookahi a'u mea nui loa i makemake ai e hoike mai kekahi o olua ia'u, a ina e hai mai kekahi o olua ia'u mea, alaila, e maha no ke kaumaha o ko'u naau nei.

I kela wa i aea ae ai ke poo o Naomi Winta i ka hohe ana ona i na huaolelo hope a ke Duke-wahine i pane mai ae, a huli ae la ia a nana mai la ia Sana Alabana, ka haku Opio o Kakeiamaina.
