Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuakina e te kaiwaiata Olympic o mua a Eamon Sullivan ngā taipitopito o tana tono aroha ki tana hoa wahine, te roia o Perth, a Naomi Bass. I te hararei te tokorua aroha i Hapani, i te haereere i tetahi ahiahi i te wa i whakahua ai a Bass me pehea te ahua ataahua i waenga i nga rakau puawai cherry ka tino pai mo te tono, i kii a Sullivan, 29, ki te Ra Wahine. Kua riro i te toa hākinakina e rua nga mētara hiriwa o te Olympics me te maha o nga koura me te parahi i nga whakataetae Commonwealth. 'I a mātau e haereere ana i tētahi pō, ka tae atu ki tētahi rākau mokemoke i roto i te puawai tonu, oti rawa ki ngā kukupa ma,' ka korerotia e ia ki te maheni. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Eamon Sullivan, he kaihoe o mua o te Olympics me tana hoa wahine a Naomi Bass i whakaipoipo tata nei i runga i te haerenga ki Hapani. I tutaki te tokorua ki Perth i te tau 2011, ana ka tono a Sullivan ki a Bass i raro i te rakau puawai cherry i Kyoto. Ka mea a Naomi, "E, he mea aroha rawa tenei; he wāhi pai mo te tono tangata". Na ka hinga ahau ki runga ki tetahi turi, a ka tono ia ki te marena ki ahau, 'whakaputa te kaukau o mua. I kii a Sullivan i whakamahere ia ki te tono i taua haerenga, engari kaore i tae noa ki etahi ra i muri mai. Heoi, ka mau ia ki te whai wāhitanga, ka miharo i tana hoa wahine, kaore i taea e ia te whakautu tonu. I kii a Bass, 28, ki te Ra Wahine he nui rawa tana awangawanga ka 'kata tonu, ka tangi' ana ka noho humarie ia i mua i tana whakautu. I homai e tana hoa rangatira hou ki a ia tētahi kōtiro e rua karati i whakatakotoria ki waenganui i ngā taimana 14 māwhero māwhero, te tae o ngā puawai o te kirīmi, hei whakamahara ki te wāhi i tū ai taua wā motuhake. I tū te tono i Kyoto, i Hapani i ngā wiki e rua ki muri, ā, kua hoki mai te tokorua hari ki Perth.

Ko te kingi o te rerenga tere i tutaki ki tetahi hoa kaukau i mua...
