Ua haʻalele ʻo ia iaʻu no kahi ʻē aʻe i koʻu wā hāpai ʻana i 7 mau mahina
ʻEhiku mau mahina koʻu hāpai ʻana i koʻu manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole e nānā i ke kelepona paʻalima a Xavier. Ua hele pū kekahi ʻehaʻeha me aʻu no kekahi mau pule. "ʻAʻole ma laila" ʻo Xavier. ʻO kahi mamao, ʻano ʻē, ʻike ʻo ia iaʻu ua hoʻokaʻawale loa mai iā mākou. Ua hui pū māua no ʻehā makahiki a ke holo maikaʻi nei koʻu hāpai ʻana. He hapai keia a makou i hooholo ai, e like me na mea a pau a makou e hana nei, a laki makou i ka launa pu me ka kupanaha. He kanaka pohihihi iki o Xavier a hiki ke ike ia kona mau hopohopo ma kona mau maka. Akā ʻo ka mea maʻamau ʻo ia e haʻi mai iaʻu no ia mea. No koʻu hāpai ʻana paha i mālama ʻo ia i kāna mau pilikia hana iā ia iho? Ke ho'āʻo nei au e nīnau iā ia i nā nīnau e ʻike ai i ka mea e hoʻomāʻewaʻewa ʻia ai ʻo ia, akā e hoʻomanawanui ʻo ia a hiki i ka noi ʻana iaʻu e mālama i kaʻu ʻoihana i kekahi lā. ʻAʻole like me ia. Lawe au i kona lima, akā mau nō ia, ʻoʻoleʻa, inert, i loko oʻu. Me he mea la he kanalua kona ano ia'u. Akā, he kaukani mau mile koʻu mai ka noʻonoʻo ʻana e hiki ke loaʻa iā Xavier he haku wahine. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e hoʻopā hou mai iaʻu, a ke hoʻāhewa nei au i ka hāpai ʻana no ia mea. Makaʻu maoli ʻo ia i koʻu ʻōpū poepoe. He ʻakaʻaka wau a liʻiliʻi kāna hana ʻana, ʻaʻohe kānalua no ka hilahila. E hoʻi mai ana ma hope, ʻōlelo wau iaʻu iho. Akā, i kekahi ahiahi i kona ʻauʻau ʻana, ʻike wau e waiho ana kāna kelepona paʻa i lalo. Hoʻopuka ia i kahi hōʻailona, hoʻohuli wau a ʻike i kahi SMS mai kahi inoa "Electrician". Ma ʻaneʻi, ʻaneʻi, ʻano ʻē, ʻoiai ma ka home, naʻu nō e mālama i ka ʻoihana. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole au i ʻike i kekahi hemahema uila ... wehe au i ka memo a heluhelu: "ʻApōpō paha e lohi ana au he ʻumi minuke, e kuʻu mea aloha, e haʻi mai iaʻu ua minamina ʻoe iaʻu, makemake wau iā ʻoe." “
ʻO ka hau, hoʻihoʻi au i ke kelepona e like me ia. Ua hiolo ka honua. ʻO kahi "electrician" nona ka inoa mua ʻo Xavier i mālama pono e hūnā, kapa iā ia ʻo "kuʻu aloha" a hāʻawi iā ia i kahi manawa.. Ma ka liʻiliʻi ua maopopo ka leka. Ke puka mai nei ʻo Xavier mai ka lumi ʻauʻau, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke pane aku. E hele ana au i ko'u manawa. Ua heluhelu ʻia ka leka a ʻike ʻole ʻo Xavier. Inā ʻaʻole lākou e kākau nui a ʻike ʻole ʻia i waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ke hiamoe ʻo ia, e nānā au. ʻAʻole pono iaʻu e kali lōʻihi no ka mea e holo ana ʻo Xavier mai oʻu aku nei a aia ma kahi moe i koʻu puka ʻana i waho o ka lumi lumi. ʻAʻole loaʻa kāna kelepona hele. ʻIke ʻo ia iaʻu e ʻeli ana a nīnau mai iaʻu i kaʻu hana. ʻAʻole hiki ke hana, noi wau iā ia no kāna kelepona. Noho ʻo ia i luna, a haʻi wau iā ia ua heluhelu wau i ka ʻōlelo hope loa mai ka "electrician" a makemake wau e ʻike i nā mea ʻē aʻe. Pahū wau i ka makaʻu a me ka ʻeha, akā ʻaʻole makemake wau e haʻi i ka inoa e kāhea ana, no ka mea hopohopo wau e lohe kaʻu pēpē iā lākou. ʻAʻole wau e walaʻau he wahine ʻakaʻaka kēlā kaikamahine. ʻO Xavier ka monster! ʻAʻole ʻo ia e hoʻāʻo e wahaheʻe. ʻO Audrey kona inoa, haʻi mai ʻo ia iaʻu. Ua ʻike ʻo ia aia wau, ua hāpai au. Ke kau nei au i kaʻu manaʻo kumu a ʻaʻole paha e hāʻule, hoʻomau wau i ke kelepona ʻana iā ia e hāʻawi mai iaʻu i kāna kelepona. “Makemake au e heluhelu i nā mea a pau! ", wahi a'u. Hōʻole ʻo Xavier. "ʻAʻole wau makemake e hōʻeha iā ʻoe, ʻaʻole wau makemake e ʻeha ʻoe", hāwanawana ʻo ia, hoʻokokoke mai iaʻu. A laila wehewehe ʻo ia iaʻu, ma kāna iho, ua hui pū ʻo ia me Audrey no ʻekolu mahina a ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e hakakā. Noho mālie wau a wehewehe ʻo ia i nā mea a pau āna i manaʻo ai e ʻōlelo mai iaʻu. Ua hālāwai ʻo ia me ia ma ka mokulele, ua aloha lāua i ka ʻike mua. Makemake au i kekahi o waho e hele mai e kōkua iaʻu a e mālama i koʻu ola. Noi au iā Xavier e haʻalele i ka hale. Ua kala hou ʻo ia, kala mai ʻo ia, ʻaʻole maopopo iā ia ke kumu o kēia hana iā ia, i kēia manawa, me kēia pēpē… ʻAʻohe manawa, akā, hāʻawi ʻo ia e haʻalele iā ia. Lawe ʻo ia i kekahi mau mea mai kāna ʻeke huakaʻi a haʻalele. I loko o hoʻokahi hola, ua lilo koʻu ola i Gehena. Manaʻo kaʻu pēpē i ka nui o ka hana keaka a mākou e hele pū ai.
"He kaikamahine", haʻi mai lākou iaʻu ma ka ultrasound kahi a'u e hele hookahi ai i kekahi la ae. A hiki i kēlā manawa, ua hōʻole wau e ʻike, ʻoiai ʻaʻole makemake ʻo Xavier, akā i kēia manawa makemake wau e ʻike i nā mea āpau i nā kikoʻī nui. Ma hope koke iho, wehewehe mai ʻo Xavier iaʻu ua aloha nui ʻo ia a ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke koho e haʻalele iā Audrey. E like me ka automaton, pane wau iā ia ʻo mākou ka mea e haʻalele i kekahi i kēia hihia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua aloha ʻo ia iaʻu, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hoʻopaʻa mua ʻo ia me ia. A hānau wau i ʻelua mahina. Hoʻopuni ʻia e kaʻu mau hoaaloha ʻekolu, hoʻomākaukau wau i ka lumi o kaʻu kaikamahine a me nā mea. I ka manawa o ka hānau ʻana, hōʻole wau i ka ʻōlelo aʻo ʻana o ka hoaaloha e hele pū me Xavier. ʻO ka uē a Elise i hoʻopuka ai i kona hānau ʻana, ʻo ia ka uē o ka ʻeha aʻu e hoʻopaʻa nei i ʻelua mahina no ka makaʻu iā ia. Pono wau e pale i kaʻu pēpē, akā ʻeha loa ʻaʻole ʻo Xavier ma ko mākou ʻaoʻao. Hana ia i ka lā aʻe. Hilahila, neʻe, ʻino, ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ke kala mai nei ʻo ia a ke noi aku nei au iā ia e pani. Ke haʻalele ʻo ia, hoʻopili wau i ka bea keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi āna i lawe mai ai iā ʻElise. Pono wau e huki iaʻu iho, ʻaʻole e poho. He waiwai kaʻu kaikamahine a e hana mākou iā mākou iho, me ka ʻole o ia. Ke hoʻi mākou i ka hale, hele mai ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia ahiahi, ma mua o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka home. Ua ʻae au iā ia e hana, no ʻElise. ʻO kona noho ʻana i loko o ka hale, kona ʻala, kāna nānā ʻana, ʻike wau i nā mea āpau i kona haʻalele ʻana a ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu hiki iaʻu ke aloha nui iā ia.
Hoʻokahi makahiki o ʻElise i kēia manawa. Ua noi mai ʻo Xavier iaʻu inā hiki iā ia ke hoʻi mai e noho me mākou. ʻIke maikaʻi ʻo ia i kēia kūlana a ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu inā ʻo ʻElise ka mea e nalo iā ia, a iaʻu paha. Ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia iaʻu ua pau ke aloha me Audrey, a ʻo kāna aloha ʻoiaʻiʻo iaʻu. Makemake ʻo ia i kahi manawa. Ke noʻonoʻo nei au i koʻu huhū, e pili ana i kēia kaumaha hiki ʻole ke hoʻomanawanui, e pili ana i ke kala ʻana hiki ʻole paha, akā ke ʻae nei au e hoʻi mai ana. No ka mea, aloha au iā Xavier, a aloha nui au iā ia. I kēia pō, moe au ma hope ona. Ua loaa hou ia'u kona minoaka, heluhelu au i kona mau maka, aka, ke hopohopo nei au o aihue hou ia e kekahi wahine ma kekahi mokulele, a i ole ia, e lilo hou ana o Audrey i ke kikowaena o kona mau manao. He palupalu ke aloha. He lōʻihi ke alanui akā e hele ana mākou e nīnau i ke kauka lapaʻau, i ʻole au e noho me ka makaʻu a ʻaʻole ola hou ʻo Xavier me ka mihi.. E ho'āʻo pū kākou e lilo i mau mākua maikaʻi, me ka ʻike iki paha iā kākou iho. Lawe ʻo Xavier i koʻu lima ma lalo o nā ʻili, a ʻomi au. He uila ka pilina. ʻAe, pili hou kona lima i koʻu lima.
