Hele ka wahine i ka hale maikai, ua nalowale ka makuahine ma'i, huhu ke kane oki mare, hoonee i na moena punawai hamama, loaa.

He poʻe kuaʻāina ʻo Sun Kai, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ke kūlana ʻohana, ua hemo koʻu mau mākua i kona wā liʻiliʻi, i nā makahiki he nui ka makuahine i lawe iā ia, ʻelua mau kānaka. No laila ʻo ia i ka manaʻo o ka makuahine ʻaʻole ia ka ʻohana maʻamau i ka laulā. Sun Kai urban hana ma hope o ka puka 'ana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe junior, ia mea e ae i kona makuahine e ho'ēmi i ka nui o ka puʻe, ma hope o nā mea a pau, i loko o ke kūlanakauhale e hana i ke kālā oi maʻalahi ma mua o ke kālā ma ka honua mokulele. ʻO Sun Kai, hana ma ka hale hana, ʻo ka mea ʻē aʻe e hele i ka pāʻani, koi ʻo ia i ka hana ʻoi aku. ʻO ka uku o kēlā me kēia mahina e ʻaneʻane hoʻohuli ʻia, ʻōlelo ka poʻe āpau ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e pāʻani me ia, i loko o ka hale hana no ʻekolu makahiki, ʻo ka makuahine e kōkua iā ia e loaʻa i kahi hoaaloha ma ke kauhale. ʻO ke kaikamahine ma hope o ke kauhale, lōʻihi ʻaʻole nani, akā ʻo ka hana he pro, male nā kamaʻāina ʻaʻole ʻike i ka poʻe i ʻoi aku ka nani, ʻoiai ka lōʻihi o ka hana, hiki ke loaʻa i nā hūnōna wahine maikaʻi. ʻAʻohe manaʻo o Sun Kai no nā maka makuahine, ua male koke nā kānaka ʻelua. Ma hope o ka male ʻana, ʻo ka wahine ma ka home e mālama i ka makuahine, ʻo Sun Kai a i ʻole nā ​​hana kūlanakauhale. Me ke kākoʻo o Sun Kai ma ke kūlanakauhale, ʻelua poʻe e noho ana ma ka home ʻaʻole paʻakikī loa. Akā, ʻaʻole i lōʻihi, hoʻokahi manawa ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ke kino makuahine o Sun Kai, hele i ke kūlanakauhale no ka lāʻau lapaʻau, akā, i koʻu hoʻi ʻana mai i kahi ulia kaʻa, ʻaʻohe ʻeha ʻili, ʻaʻole e neʻe nā wāwae, ʻōlelo ke kauka e ʻeha paha ke aʻalolo, pono e hoʻi i ka home a hoʻomaha. A ma hope o ia mea, hana ikaika ka Sun Kai, e loaʻa kālā i kona makuahine e ʻike i ke kauka. Akā ʻaʻole i pau ka pōʻino, hoʻomau. ʻO ka lā e hele ai kāna wahine i ka hale kūʻai, e hāʻawi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau makuahine, pono nō hoʻi e kūʻai i nā mea hoʻohui, akā ma hope o kou hoʻi ʻana mai, ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole i loaʻa i nā kānaka, ua nalowale ka lolo o ka makuahine. ʻO ka poʻe a pau e ʻike, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa, ua kāohi ʻia ʻo Sun Kai i ke ahi i loko o ka puʻuwai, pololei ka huhū e hemo me kāna wahine. Akā i ka neʻe ʻana i nā moena puna puna, loaʻa. Malalo o kekahi palapala, ua kakau ia ka leta e ka makuahine, e ke keiki, ke ike oe i keia palapala, ua make ka makuahine, aole nae o'u ma'i lolo, he ma'i ma'i au, keia manawa i ka lolo, aole o'u makemake e hoopilikia ia oe, pehea oe e noho nei me kana hunona. Pono wau e hoʻonohonoho maikaʻi i nā mea, mai kaumaha ʻoe, pehea ʻoe, hauʻoli maoli koʻu makuahine. Ma hope o ka heluhelu ʻana i ka leka, ua kala aku ʻo Sun Kai ma kāna mau lima i kāna wahine, ua kuhihewa ka wahine i kāna wahine, akā ke manaʻo nei au e hiki i kāna wahine ke kākoʻo e ʻimi i kona makuahine. ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau hoʻōla, makemake nō hoʻi e hāʻawi i kona makuahine i ka haʻawina i ka make, manaʻo wau ʻo kēia ke kanaka maoli bea, akā inā ʻo Sun Kai a pau, ʻike ua hala ko lākou makuahine, pehea lā?
