ʻO kā lāua pō male male ʻana o ka wahine mare, ʻo kona makuahōnōwai wahine he poʻokela loa, ʻo nā moena puna wai hāmama, ʻaʻole ia he kanaka no ka lambaste keiki.

ʻO Eva koʻu inoa, he lā maikaʻi kēlā lā, ua male kaʻu hūnōna kāne i ka lā leka ʻulaʻula. He pōʻino naʻe, ua lilo ka lā i mea pōʻino. I ka lā ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea a pau i ka hauʻoli o ka lewa. Aka, i ka po o ko laua po mare, e hiamoe ana au, lohe koke aku la au i ka uwa mai ka rumi o ka hunona. Ua hoʻā koke wau a me kāna wahine i ke kukui i ka wā ma mua, ma hope o ka lawe ʻana i ka puka, ʻeleʻele kona helehelena ke keiki kāne a me kāna hūnōna wahine e moe ʻole ana ma luna o kahi moe. ʻAʻole mākou i hopohopo, kāhea wikiwiki i nā kelepona pilikia, akā ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ka ambulance, ua pau ka hanu o ka hūnōna wahine. Ma kēia ʻano, i ko lāua lā male, ua nalowale au i kāna wahine a me kāna wahine, ua nalowale kāna keiki i kāna wahine hou. Hāʻawi ke kauka i ka hūnōna wahine ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hopu ʻana i ka naʻau, kumu o ka make. Ma hope o kekahi mau lā, ua luhi mākou ʻelua ʻohana i ka hoʻolewa ʻana o ka hūnōna wahine, ʻaʻohe manawa e ʻeli i ka hūnōna wahine no ka hopu ʻana i ka naʻau. I kēia manawa ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻolewa ʻana, ʻo kā lāua pō male male ʻana i ka make koke ʻana i kēia mea i loko o ko mākou ʻohana, pālahalaha ʻia ʻaʻole maikaʻi. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Son e hoʻomau i ka noho ʻana i ka manawa i pepehi ʻia nā kānaka i loko o ka lumi, a ʻo wau nō hoʻi ʻino loa, no laila ua hoʻoholo ka ʻohana e neʻe. He papahana nui ka neʻe ʻana, pono e hoʻomākaukau i kekahi mea, i nā mea a pau e ʻohi ai. ʻO mākou ʻekolu mahele o ka hui hana, kāna wahine ma laila e hoʻonani i ka hale hou, ʻo ke keiki hoʻokele paipu nui, a ʻo wau ke kuleana no ka lawe ʻana i kēlā mau mea. I kēia lā, i loko o ka lumi ākea keiki o ka moena puna, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi hōʻike nānā ma lalo o ka moena puna. ʻO kēia kaʻu hūnōna wahine hōʻike hōʻike, e hōʻike ana i ka hūnōna wahine i loaʻa i ka maʻi puʻuwai, ʻaʻole hiki ke inu nui, i ʻole e maʻalahi ka hopu ʻana i ka naʻau. Me kāna hūnōna wahine i make, ʻo koʻu puʻuwai ke haʻohaʻo nei, me ka nānā ʻole o ke keiki kāne i ka hana, e kāhea pololei iā ia i ka home. Ua lawe au i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau nīnau i kāna keiki, i ka pō male he aha ka hana? Son see huna e ola ole, uwe a olelo aku au, i ka la ana i inu nui ai i ka waina, hoohiwahiwa i ka po noonoo ana, ua inu kana hunona wahine i mau kiaha waina, a nolaila i make ai kana wahine. Ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, palupalu koʻu wāwae, hāʻule i ka honua, a laila ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻo ka lambaste keiki. Ua ʻike maopopo ʻo ia i ke kino o kā lāua wahine, ʻaʻole inu, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ua koi ʻo ia iā ia e inu. No ka mea, ua koi ʻia ʻo ia e inu i ka waina, ua nalowale ka hūnōna wahine, ua olohelohe kaʻu keiki ka mea pepehi kanaka. No ka ike i ka oiaio mahope iho o ko'u hoehaeha ana, ma na kuleana e kahea aku au i ka makai, na ka makai e lawelawe, mai ae i ka hunona, uhane, a o ka'u keiki keia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻoe he aha kaʻu e hana ai? ( Loaʻa ke kiʻi mai ka pūnaewele)
