A HAWAIIAN FOLKLORE - EVENT ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII - Part 3

***The third episode: THE REVELATION

Ohia: "You spoke of my newborn being my son, for of that we did not know, but being a goddess, you would know such things."
Pele: "Yes!"
Ohia: "Therefore, my son is the first heart and Lehua, will, of course, be the second heart."
Pele: "For n--ow."
Ohia: "For always!"
Pele: "And the third heart, my dear O-h-i-a."
Ohia: "You said it was not my father-in-law, but it must be so for he is the chief of our village."
Pele: "Stop repeating yourself for it annoys me so."
Ohia: "Stop being so vague for you to play with me for I am not a toy, who would this third heart be?"
Pele: "Your daughter."
Ohia: "My d-a-ughter?"
Pele: "Ugh, so you want me to be a nuisance too and repeat myself--never--for you heard me the first time!"
Ohia: "A daughter, as well as a son?"
Pele: "Yes, my Ohia, for Lehua carries two hearts beside her own."
Ohia: "We, will be parents of twins!"
Pele: "Yes, they have been known to be called that."
Ohia: "I must quickly go and tell my beloved Lehua of this wondrous news."
Pele: "What do you mean that you will quickly go, and what of me?"
Ohia: "And what of you? Go wherever you want to go, you are a goddess after all!"
Pele: "I will go with you!"
Ohia: "Why?"
Pele: "Do not be slow with me!"
Ohia: "I will not part from my Lehua, for we were both meant to be together--forever."
Pele: "My dear Ohia, as a goddess, I can give you your heart's desire."
Ohia: "My heart already belongs to Lehua, and now, my twins, for they all wait for me. I must leave now that we can all be together when they are both born to us."
Pele: "But Ohia...?"
Ohia: "There is no but, for I have already spoken, enough of this and once again, begone with you."
Pele: "What is with you and this repetitive nature."
Ohia: "If it annoys you so, then leave for I will not object to that as you are now annoying me. Now that you have shared news vital to me, I must leave so that I too may share the precious gift that will soon be part of our lives."
Pele: "But I want you to share your life with me."
Ohia: "You are a goddess, and you can have the choice of any man from any village of the lands. Leave me and go anywhere you choose to be."
Pele: "But I choose to be with you, do you not see this desire I have for you. The gods demand the best in all things. You are attractive, powerful, and brave. Such a combination of qualities is rare indeed. You are exceptional, and you should take heed to what I say."
Ohia: "We must part ways, for you cannot be with me. I fear the harm that you might do against my Lehua."
Pele: "So my handsome Ohia is weak and fearful because of love, as this is true, then I place a curse on you."
***The next episode - THE DAMNATION

Pele cast her curse upon the handsome warrior Ohia.
