Part 9
One day Keawe went to visit any friends surviving in Kailua. He left as early as he could, driving fast due to the fact that he was impatient to return as shortly as possible to his beautiful home. In addition, the night that was coming was at night, erstwhile the dead of the past time appeared close Kona; since he had already dealt with the devil once, the more he had no desire to meet the dead.
A small further behind Konaunau, he noticed a female bathing in the sea; she seemed to him an attractive girl but shortly forgot about her. In a while, he came close where she was staying. She was all dressed up, drifted distant from the seashore and stood by the road clothed in her red holocaust. Her eyes were shining and she looked at them well. As Keawe was passing by, he stopped his horse. "I thought I knew everyone in this area," he said, "How come I don't know you?" "I am Kokua, daughter of Kiauo" - said the girl - "And I just returned from Oahu. And who are you?” “I will tell you who I am a small later...” Keawe replied. “I want to ask you a question, and you may yet guess who I am; you don’t gotta give me an honest answer. Tell me first, are you married?” In consequence Kokua laughed loudly. “Are you married?” she asked. "In fact, I am not." - Keawe replied - I never thought about it until this hour. It became clear to me that I should have been married erstwhile I met you on the side of the road, I saw your eyes, and my heart soared to you like a bird. Now tell me whether you will or not, and I will return to my place; but if you like me, say it, and I will go to your father tonight, and next day I will talk to him...” Kokua didn't say a word, looked at the sea, and laughed. “Kokua” - Keawe continued - “If you don’t answer, I will take it as a affirmative answer; so let’s go to your father’s door.” She moved before him without saying anything; sometimes she looked back and turned her head. erstwhile they got to her father's house, Kiauo went out on the porch and greeted Keawe by name. From that minute on, the girl stopped looking due to the fact that the fame of the large home had reached her ears. That same night, everyone was laughing.
The next day Keawe spoke to Kiauo and remained alone with the girl. “Kokuo” - he said - “I didn’t want to tell you who I was due to the fact that I had a beautiful home and I was afraid that you would think besides much about this home and not adequate about the man who loves you. Now you know everything and if you don't want to see me again, say it right away.” "No," Kokua replied. This time she didn't laughter and Keawe didn't ask for anything else. These were Keawe's advances; things rapidly passed away, but Amora's arrow reached its destination.
