ʻO ka mea kupaianaha e pili ana i ke aloha he ala ia e hōʻike ai a pīhoihoi iā mākou. E hoʻāʻo e like me kā mākou e mālama ai i nā pili pili pili i ka wā e alualu ai mākou i nā hana, ke kula kiʻekiʻe, a me nā papahana altruistic, ʻike pinepine ke aloha i loko o ko mākou puʻuwai a me ka ʻike. A ke hōʻike ʻia ke aloha, ʻaʻole kūlike pinepine mākou no ka mana kahili a huki.
ʻ keptlelo mau ʻo Mike i kona mau hoaaloha, "ʻAʻole wau e aloha hou i kahi makahiki hou." ʻO ke poʻokela, pelekikena o nā haumāna haumāna i kau pono kona mau maka i ka puka ʻana, ke kula loio, a me ka ʻoihana i ka politika. I ka puka ʻana mai mai nā pilina paʻakikī, ʻaʻole makemake hou ʻo Mike i nā laka pololei e hihia i loko o kahi hui kūpilikiʻi ʻē aʻe. "ʻO nā maka i ka makana," lilo ʻo ia i kā mantra ʻo Mike, ʻoiai e like me ke kahawai o nā ʻōpio, loaʻa nā kahe i loaʻa i ka pā kula.
Ua hōʻea ʻo Sally i ke koleke me ka ʻuhane manuahi a me ka puʻuwai no ka altruism. ʻO kāna "ʻaʻahu hippie" a me kahi laʻana e hāpai ana i kahi kīʻaha kope me ia i nā manawa āpau, huli ke poʻo i ke kula conservative. ʻAʻole ʻo Mike i ʻike iā Sally i ka wā mua, ʻoiai e hoʻopuni mau ana nā wahine iā ia i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e wili i ka "kāne nui ma ka pā kula" i kahi puni aloha. I kekahi lā naʻe, ua kīkē ʻia ʻo Mike mai kona mau wāwae e ka vixen i hōʻea i ke koleke ma kahi sedan Chevy hippified. Ma ke awakea Pōʻalima, ua ʻike ʻo Mike iā Sally. Ke hoʻomākaukau nei no kahi haʻiʻōlelo i ka ʻaha haumāna, ua nānā ʻo Mike iā Sally e hele ana ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka quad me ke ʻano wiwo ʻole. "He ʻano moeʻuhane ʻo ia," e ʻōlelo ana ʻo Mike ma hope, "Ua hele ʻo Sally me ka puka pā o kekahi e pili ana i nā mele a me nā mele o ke ao holoʻokoʻa." ʻAʻole maopopo iā Mike ua ʻike ʻo Sally iā Mike.
Makaʻu ʻo Mike i ka pili
Hilahila ʻino ʻoiai ʻo kāna wana i waho o ka ikaika a me ke kauoha, ua makaʻu ʻo Mike i ka hoʻopili ʻana me Sally. ʻOiai lākou e kamaʻilio kūkākūkā ai i nā lā i hala, ua manaʻo ʻo Mike “ʻaʻole hoihoi ʻo ia.” Ah, akā hoihoi ʻo Sally. I loko o kahi hulahula o ka hiʻona clandestine, ua pili ʻo Sally e hoʻopili me Mike ma ke ala like a Mike e lana nei ka manaʻo e hoʻohui me Sally. E hoʻokūpaʻa koke ʻia ka hoihoi like i kahi ala leʻaleʻa maikaʻi ʻole.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Sally e nānā i kāna ʻike
He lālā ʻo Mike no ka pāʻina hele iki a kāna koleke. ʻO kahi mea pāʻani sousaphone, ua hāpai ʻo Mike i ka mea kani ʻoi loa i ka pā, kahi mea kani me ka bele keleawe nunui e kū pono ana i ka ʻaoʻao. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo Sally i kahi hoʻolālā e nānā pono ai. I ka hoʻokokoke ʻana o ka bana i ka ʻaoʻao ma mua a ma hope o ka hana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Sally e hoʻolei i nā ʻāpana hau liʻiliʻi i ka bele sousaphone a Mike. E like me ke kiaʻi kia NBA manawa, hiki iā Sally ke kīloi pololei i ka hau i loko o ka bele o ka mea kani. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo Mike i ka sharpshooter i ka wā mua, akā ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi mea ma ka ʻaoʻao e hoʻāʻo ana e ʻimi i kāna nānā. ʻO ka hope loa, ua lohe ʻo ia i ka hihi ʻana. Ma laila ma ka ʻaoʻao, e kekeke ana ka cadre o nā wahine ʻōpio a kuhikuhi iā Mike iā ia e puka ana i waho o ke kahua. ʻO wai ma waenakonu o ka ʻaha? ʻO Sally mai ka papa hou.
Mai ka hapa lua o ka pāʻani pīpeku i mua, he pālua ʻo Sally lāua ʻo Mike. Hāpai ʻia e kā lākou "moʻolelo pili" maʻamau a me ko lākou makemake e hana i kekahi mea maikaʻi i ka honua, ua huki ʻo Sally a me Mike i ka ikaika mai kekahi i kekahi ke hoʻomau nei lākou i kā lākou hoʻopaʻa haʻawina laepua. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana o ka wahine ua hānai ʻia lāua i loko o “nā ao like ʻole.” ʻOiai ʻo kāna persona hippie, ʻo Sally ka huahana o kahi ʻohana waiwai waiwai me ka wā i hala. ʻO Mike, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he haumāna o ke koleke hanauna mua mai ke kāʻei uliuli. Hana lākou i ka hana a hana i kahi kuʻikahi. E hoʻopau ʻo Sally i kāna kekelē laepua a e hoʻopau ʻo Mike i kāna hana puka puka ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo ʻia ʻana i ka manaʻolana o ka male.
Ua noi ʻo Mike iā Sally
Ma hope o ʻekolu mau makahiki o kahi pilina hua, lōʻihi, ua hōʻea ʻia ke noi. Ua launa ʻo Mike iā Sally ma ke kahua kinipōpō kahi i hoʻolei ʻia ai ka hau, a he mau hoaaloha kahiko kāna mai ka pākī hele ma kona ʻaoʻao. Ma hope o ka serenading ʻana iā Sally me kahi pālima nani, hana lima, ua hemo ʻo Mike i kahi sousaphone i noi ʻia mai kona poʻohiwi aku, a kūlou i ka bele o ka mea kani, a hāʻawi iā Sally i hoʻokahi ʻāpana carat o ka "hau." Kahi manawa pōʻai piha.
Ua male lāua
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua male ka wahine male ʻole ma ka quad o kā lākou koleke. He lā pua nani ia i piha me nā azaleas e mōhala ana a me nā ʻīlio ʻīlio. I ka manawa hou, ua hele i ka hui huakaʻi, e hāʻawi ana i ka pālua i ka nui o nā pēpē a me nā mele hulahula no kā lākou pepeiao a me nā wāwae mahalo. No nā hola ʻewalu e hiki mai ana, ua mālama ʻia kahi hoʻolauleʻa mahina a puni nā ipo. I ka lā aʻe, ma hope o ka hala ʻana o ka haze o ka hoʻolauleʻa, ua kau lāua i kahi mokulele me nā ʻūlū i ka huki, a haʻalele i ʻApelika no ka hoʻomaka o kahi makahiki ʻelua mau makahiki me ka Peace Corps.
ʻO wai ka mea i ʻike he mana ko nā sousaphones e hoʻā i nā lapalapa o ka ʻumeʻume? ʻO Mike lāua ʻo Sally, mai nā ao like ʻole, i hoʻā i ka lapalapa o ka pilina ma hope o ke kūkaʻi serendipitous i ka pôpeku Pōʻaono. ʻO ke koena, e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei, he moʻolelo.
