            I ka manawa i lele mai ai ke Kauna Bitarika mai kona lio mai i ke ku ana iho mawaho o ka Halealii o ka Akibihopa e ku kehakeha ana i ke kiekiena o Zulobena, a pii aku la ma ke alapii nani o ua kakela ia, a komo aku la iloko o ka holo, aia hoi ua piha oloko i na aliikoa o na anuu like ole o ka oihana koa e noho hoomaluia ana hoi e ia no ka hooko ana i na hana apau a ko lakou Haku ka Akibihopa Iseneboga.

            I kona hoea ana aku iloko o ke keena o ke kakauolelo aia hoi ua makaukau e ke kakauolelo ma kona wahi o ka oihana no ka hookipa ana i ke Kauna i ka Akibihopa.

            I ke komo ana aku o ke Kauna Bitarika ame ke kakauolelo Moneka iloko o ke keena oihana o ka Akibihopa, aia hoi e holoholo ana ka Haku nui o ke Kulanakauhale, me na lima e pe’a ana ma kona kua, a aia hoi na ano hakumakuma maluna o kona helehelena, ua huli mai ia oia a ike i ke Kauna, ua haawi pu ae la oia i ka loihi o kona kino ma ke ku pololei ana ae, a i ka hala ana aku o ke kakauolelo Moneka mai ka lumi aku ua pane mai la ka Haku nui:

            “Ua hiki mai la oe i ka piha pono o ka manawa.  O ko wahine hoopalau na mahuka.”        

            “Mahuka?”  Mahuka ke Kaunawahine Tekela?”

            “Aole au wahine hoopalau e ae,” wahi hou a ua Akibihopa nei me ka leo ikiiki.  “Ua loaa mua no la’u ka manao e hooko koke i ka berita maluna o olua, mamuli o na manao i puka mai ke Kaunawahine mai e hoike ana i kona manao hoowahawaha nou, no kou ano elemakule, a kupono ole nona, a he kanaka puuwai eleele a pela aku.  Maluna o keia mau mea wau i manao ai i mahuka ai oia.”

            Ma ka lohe ana o ke Kauna i keia mau olelo a kona Haku ua pii ino ae la kona huhu, a o ke alina moku pahikaua o kona ihu ua uhi paa ia ae la e ka ula o ke koko, eia nae, aole i pane leo aku ua Kapena la o na pualikoa o ka Akibihopa.

            “I ka po nei ka holo malu ana o ke Kaunawahine.  Ua hoike mai nei na kiai po, ua ike lakou iaia e hele ana iwaho ma kahi o ka hora umi, a aole i ikeia ka hoi ana mai.  Ua maopopo loa ia’u ke kumu o ka holo ana o keia kaikamahine ano kamalii a hupo, no ka mea ua hoohalahala mua mai oia i kona male aku ia oe, a ina he mea hiki e hoopii aua oia i ka Emepera a i ka Pope.  Nolaila, maluna o keia mau mea ua loaa ia’u ka manao aia kahi o keia kaikamahine e holo nei noPalanipoka?  O kekahi manao o’u, ke pololei ka’u koho aia i ke ala e hiki aku ai i kahi o kona makuakane hanauna ke Kauna Paele, ka powa ame ka haowale, no ka mea, i ka’u nana aku aole he wahi hoinoino a keia kaikamahine no ua kanaka la.

            “Nolaila he hookahi mea nui a oia no ka ninau nui i keia manawa oia ka uhai ana mahope o ka wahine hoopalau a ke loaa i kahi e loaa aku ai e hoihoi mai iaia i kahi o ka malu.  A maluna o keia mea e waiho aku nei au i ko’u manao ponoi ia oi wale no aole i kekahi mea okoa aku, a maluna ou ke koikoi o ka hooko ana i keia kumuhana a hiki i ka manawa e hookoia ai.

            “E like me ka’u i hoike aku nei ia oe, me he la aia he waapa i hoounaia mai e ke Kauna Paele me na kela no ka lawe ana i ke Kaunawahine, i ko ai kona manao, alaiala aia ke Kaunawahine ma ka muliwai Mose-le, a ina e hiki aku oe i Burutika, ia oe e hookolo ai ma ka lihi muliwai no ke Kakela Turona, e ninau mua aku ina paha i hoea ae kekahi waapa, a ina aole i maalo ae malaila, alaila e waiho aku i ke kauoha e hoomoe i ke kaulahao ma ke kahawai no ke paniku ana i ka poe kaahele, a ke loaa ka ke kaikamahine alaila e hopu aku iaia ma kuu inoa.

            “Nolaila, e hoomaopopo i keia mau mea e kuu Kapena, a e hooko aku me ka hakalia ole, a o ka hoohala nui ole ia o ka manawa oia ka holopono o na hana.  Nolaila, e ku a e hele.”

            Ma keia mau olelo a ka Akibihopa aole i pane leo aku ke Kauna Bitarika, eia nae, ua aaki paa iho la kona ku’i no ka hoopaa ana iho i kona manao e hooko i ka hana i waihoia mai nana e hana, a mahope o kona kukuli hoomaikai ana i kona Haku ua puka mai la oia i kahi o kona mau aliikoa e nune ana, a i ko lakou nana ana mai i ka helehelena o ke Kauna aia na hiohiona o ke kaua maluna o kona helehelena, a ua lilo koke ia ano i mea nune loa ia iwaena o lakou apau me ka maopopo ole o ka oiaio a no ke aha la.

            “Ke ike la wau aia he hiohiona o ke kaua ma keia mua aku,” wahi a kekahi aliikoa i kekahi iho no o lakou.

            Mahope iho o ke kau ana iluna o kona lio a oiai aia kona puali koa ke kali la nona ma ka ipuka pa ua kauoha koke aku la oia no ka nee ana, a o ka hoomaka aku la no ia i alakai ia no e ia.

            Ma keia huakai imi wahine hoopalau a ke Kauna Bitarika aole oia i hookolo ma ke alanui e hele mau ia ai, aka ma na ala ololi i kamaaina ole i ka hapanui, ame ka hooikaika nui ka hana ana a hiki i ka manawa i loaa maoli ai i ua Kauna nei ka ike aole keia he hana liilii a hoomeamea.

            Ua hala ka auwina la me ka hoohala ole ia e ia i ka hakilo ana i ka muliwai me ka hoomaopopo ole o ka nui koa e holo like nei ma keia huakai i ka manao o keia huakai.

            I kela ame keia manawa e lohe ana lakou i ke kani kapalili mai o na o-le a ke kapena, he kahea no ka houluulu ana i na koa, a nowai la ia poe koa aole i maopopo iaia a aohe no ia he ninau no ia manawa nona e huli aku ai.

            “Owai ka mea e aa mai e alai i ka mana o ka Akibihopa?” i pane aku ai ke Kauna Bitarika me ka leo ikaika.

            “Oia maoli ka makou mea i hoonohoia mai ai maanei,” wahi a kekahi leo i pa-e mai ai iloko o ka pouli.  “O na koa o ka Akibihopa ka makou i kauohaia mai ai e paniku aku.  E aa anei oukou e paio mai a i ole e ku aku pela?”

            Ku nana iho la ke Kauna Bitarika, a hoomaopopo iho la aole lakou i makaukau no ka paio aku no ka mea ua luhi lakou ma keia holo ikaika ana a pela no hoi na lio.  A no ka hiki ole iaia ke hana ma o aku o ka mea kupono no lakou e hana ai ua pane leo oluolu iki aku la ua Kauna nei.

            “Aohe a’u mea kanalua maluna ae o ke kauoha a kuu Haku no ka hooko ana aku ia mau kauoha ana, a ina he makemake kou e ike i kuu Haku e ike aku oe i ke Kauna Belasetina.”

            “O, alaila ia Kauna Belasetina au e ike aku ai no keia hana hoohaahaa.  Ke hoomaikai aku nei au no keia haawina a na koa o ke Kauna i panai mai ai i keia manawa o ke kuluaumoe.  Aia ihea ke Kauna?”           

            “Aia i Burutika.”

            “Pehea ka mamao i koe a hiki aku ilaila?”

            “Hookahi paha mile a oi.”

            “Aole au i ike iki i ke kumu o ka hana ana a ke Kauna Belasetina e like me keia?  Aia he ekolu mana hooponopono ma Burutika a o ka Akibihopa kekahi iloko olaila a no ke aha la i panikuia ai kona mana?” i nina hou aku ai ke Kauna Bitarika.

            “Oia no ka mea oiaio, a hiki wale i ka manawa a ka Akibihopa i wawahi ai i ka maluhia mawaena o keia mau mana ekolu oia ke kumu o ka panikuia ana o kona poe koa,” wahi a ka wehewehe a ka leo o ka pouli.

            O na mea i hanaia ma Burutika, aole makou o Tarevis i ike iki i kekahi mea o ia ano.  Heaha ka hana a ka Akibihopa i wawahi ai i ka maluhia?” i pane hou aku ai ke Kauna Bitarika.
