"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"


When Laielohelohe saw that he had left her, she arose and followed
Kekalukaluokewa without being seen.
Thus following, lo! she found her husband with Hinaikamalama.
Then Laielohelohe said to Kekalukaluokewa, when she came to
Hinaikamalama's house where they were sleeping, "My husband, you have
deceived me; no wonder you compelled me to drink _awa_, you had
something to do; now I have found you two, I tell you it is not right to
endure this any longer. We had best return to Kauai; we must go at
once."
Her husband saw that the princess was right; they arose and returned to
Honokalani and next day the canoes were hastily prepared to fulfill
Laielohelohe's demand, thinking to sail that night; but they did not,
for Kekalukaluokewa pretended to be ill, and they postponed going that
night. The next day he did the same thing again, so Laielohelohe gave up
her love for her husband and returned to Kauai with her canoe, without
thinking again of Kekalukaluokewa.
The next day after Laielohelohe reached Kauai after leaving her husband,
Kaonohiokala arrived again from Kahakaekaea, and met with Laielohelohe.
Four months passed of their amorous meetings; this long absence of
Kaonohiokala's seemed strange to Laieikawai, he had been away four
months; and as Laieikawai wondered at the long absence, Kaonohiokala
returned.
