Ke kani nei kekahi mau mea i ka manaʻo o ka wahine, kahi āna i aloha nui ai, makemake e haʻalele. Hoʻomākaukau nā wāhine i kaʻike, akā i nā kānaka kekahi mau manaʻo e manaʻoʻoleʻia e mākou i kekahi manawa. ʻO wai o nā wāhine i noʻonoʻo ai i hoʻokahi manawa, akā pehea lā ke kanaka ma hope o kona kaʻawaleʻana? E hiki anei iā ia ke ola me mākou? Eʻikeʻo ia i kona Lede aliʻi, a iʻole paha e nohoʻo ia ma ka home a moeʻuhane i kahi aloha nalowale?
Uaʻike nui nā kānaka i ka mālamaʻana i kā lākou mea aloha, a he mea hikiʻole ke nānā pono iā ia keʻike lākou i ko lākou mea kahiko. Ma mua o kaʻole,ʻaʻole lākou iʻike i keʻano e hana pono ai i mua o ko lākou hānau mua akā he wahine punahele naʻe. Aʻo ka mea nui loa,ʻo nā wāhine i kēia manawa e noʻonoʻo i ka hana a nā kānaka keʻikeʻia? A he mea nui kēia i kekahi manawa, i ka manawa e manaʻo ai ka wahine e hoʻihoʻi mai, ināʻaʻoleʻo ia e koho i nā koho koho hou.
I loko o ko mākou ola, he manawa pinepine nā kāne e moe ai, no ka mea,ʻaʻohe mea iʻike aʻike wale paha kona mau hoa e kamaʻilio pū me ia. Akā, ma hope iho o ka manawa e kaʻawale ai lākou, me ka haʻaleleʻana iā lākou iho i ka hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi,ʻaʻole iʻole. A laila,ʻaʻoleʻike nā kānaka i ka hana e like ai keʻike lākou i kahi wahine wahine mua.
Ua nui nā hihia o ia hālāwai. Pono kekahi e hoʻomanaʻo maʻaneʻi, akā he mea kupanaha loa. I hoʻokahi lā, hele maila kekahi kanaka i kahiʻahaʻaina a ka hoaaloha i hoʻonohonoho ai. Ua maikaʻi loa aʻoluʻolu, a hiki i ka huiʻana me nā maka me Helen,ʻo ia ka mea nāna i hoʻolei. Ua heleleʻi ko lākou mau maka me he mea lā ua heleleʻi kekahi mau meaʻelemakule a poina paha. ʻAʻohe mea i manaʻoʻia kēia. Ma hope o ka hapalua hora, ua hala lāuaʻelua, a ma ke kakahiaka uaʻike nā mea i ka heleʻana mai o kāna lumi. Me he mea lā,ʻaʻole i haʻalele ka aloha kahiko. Ua hauʻoliʻo ia aʻaʻoleʻo ia makemake e mahele me ia. I ka hopena, ua mare lāua a ke hauʻoli nei paha. Akā, ua maikaʻi nā hopena maikaʻi e like me nā hihia o kēlā me kēia kanaka, akā,ʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole loa e loaʻa iā Cinderella kona aliʻi.
No laila, pehea ka hana a nā kānaka keʻike lākou i kahi wahine wahine mua? ʻAʻohe kanaka nāna e haʻi aku iāʻoe, akā,ʻikeʻia inā he nani a he palupalu ko lāua pilina, e nānāʻo ia iā ia me ka naʻauʻeha. ʻAʻole hiki ke lōʻihi, akāʻo ia.
Ma ka noʻonoʻo i ka hana a nā kānaka i kēiaʻano, pono iā mākou ke'ōkuli i nā manaʻo, a me keʻano o ka pilina o lākou. I kekahi manawa he maʻalahi lākou e hoʻomanawanui i nā hālāwai, a he mau mea koʻikoʻi paha. Hōʻike maikaʻiʻia kēia i nā hoa e hiki mai ana, akāʻo ka mea mua.
I hoʻokahi kauwela, hele mai kahi kanaka me kāna lei hou i ka hale kūʻai e kūʻai i mea hou no kāna wahine. Uaʻike nā koʻikoʻi a pau i kona nānāʻana iā ia, a honi iā ia i nā wā a pau a paʻa. Me he mea lā paha eʻoi aku ka nani o ka pilina ma waena o lāua, akā ...ʻAʻohe,ʻaʻohe o lākou i manaʻo ua kokoke mai kona haku wahine mua a nānā iā lākou me ka puʻuwai kaumaha. Ua nui konaʻeha, a makemakeʻo ia e hōʻike iā ia ua hauʻoliʻo ia. Akā no ka noʻonoʻoʻana o nā kānakaʻepekema, he hōʻike wale nō ia. Ua makemakeʻo ia e hōʻike mai ua loaʻa iā ia kāna punahele hou. No laila, ponoʻoe e aʻo e heluhelu i waena o nā laina o nā'ōpio, e noʻonoʻo i ka mea e hana nei, he mea nui loa. Ke noi neiʻoe, pehea ka hana a nā kānaka i ia mau hihia? ʻAe, ma nāʻano likeʻole,ʻaʻohe mea kānalua. E nānā pono mau i ko lākou mau maka eʻike ai i ka mea i loko o ko lākou poʻo. ʻO nā maka -ʻo ia ke aniani o kaʻuhane,ʻo lākou ka mea e haʻi iāʻoe i kahi e hana ai i kēiaʻano. Mai poina i nā kānaka e like me kouʻano pilikino.
