our flesh has become defiled come to me; I will take
care of you until the pollution is past." Now, this was the custom with
a favorite daughter.

Because Waka was surprised, at midday of the second day after Laieikawai
joined Halaaniani, the grandmother went to look after her grandchild.

When the grandmother came to them, they were both fast asleep, like new
lovers, as if the nights were the time for waking.

As Laieikawai lay asleep, her grandmother looked and saw that the man
sleeping with her grandchild was not the one she had chosen for her.

Then Waka wakened the grandchild, and when she awoke the grandmother
asked, "Who is this?"

Answered the grandchild, "Kekalukaluokewa, of course."

Said the grandmother in a rage, "This is no Kekalukaluokewa; this is
Halaaniani, the brother of Malio. Therefore, I give you my oath never to
see your face again, my grandchild, from this time until I die, for you
have disobeyed me. I thought to hide you away until you could care for
me. But now, live with your husband for the future; keep your beauty,
your supernatural power is yours no longer; that you must look for from

When the house was ready, Waka went herself to meet Kekalukaluokewa in

said, with sorrowful heart: "Great is my grief and my love for you, O
chief, for I desired you for my grandchild as the man to save these
bones. I thought my grandchild was a good girl, not so! I saw her
sleeping with Halaaniani, not the man I had chosen for her. Therefore, I
come to beseech you to give me a canoe and men also, and I will go and
get the foster child of Kapukaihaoa, Laielohelohe,[66] who is like
Laieikawai, for they are twins."

And for this journey Kekalukaluokewa gave a double canoe with men and
all the equipment.

Before Waka went after Laielohelohe she commanded Kekalukaluokewa as
follows: "I shall be gone three times ten days and three days over, then
I shall return. Keep watch, and if the mist rises on the ocean, then you
will know that I am returning with your wife, then purify yourself for
two days before the marriage."
