Kwakuloo mzuzu apho ifowuni yavuma. Ukuthabatha ifowuni, ndatsho ngenyameko ibinzana elifundileyo: "I-ofisi engaziwayo. Yintoni esinokuyenza? "

"Kulula," ndatsho. - Sonke siyafana: bonke abantu abahloniphayo ngoku baphumla kwiindawo zokungcebeleka, kwaye musa ukugijima ngeenxa zonke. Kwaye ngoMvulo ndiba neeholide. - Kulungile! - Waba nomhlobo wakhe. "Ndandifuna ukucinga indlela yokukuyeka emsebenzini ukususela kwiveki." Ndifuna ukukukhupha nge-Albinka kwimo. I-Goge yakwazi ukukhupha indlu ehlathini.
Ungathanda ukuza nathi?
- Ucela! Ngovuyo olukhulu. Kubalulekile ukutshintsha ngokukhawuleza imeko, kwaye ke ndiqala ukuxubha.
NgeCawa yeGaga yasiqhubela kwindawo leyo. Ukuvula indlu, yabuya eceleni kwaye yayingenangqiqo.
- Ngubani na ohlala ekhulile? Emva kokuhambahamba nomyeni wakhe, u-Asuka naye wakhangela egumbini waza wabiza umkhwelo:
- Wow! Bangaphi baxhomeke apha? Ukuqwalasela inani leebhotile, ingaphantsi kweenyanga. - Makhe ndihambe! - Ngokukhawuleza ukususa umhlobo wakhe, u-Albina wangena kwigumbi. Wayekhenkceza aze atyunde. - uGadi! Ukuba ngaba bekunye kuphela, okanye into! Nantsi yonke into yayidla ugwayi! Nothuli!
Ndinezinto ezinjengezilwanyana ezinqabileyo ngothuli kunye nempova! U-Aska wayicacisa ngomnwe wakhe kwiplani nge-snack eyomileyo.
"Njengokuba ndiyayiqonda, i-cheese." Awuyidli izolo. Wayengumbumba.
Ndabona kwakhona le ntloni.
"Mantombazana, musa ukukwesaba." Emva koko, unako ukususa. Isiqingatha seyure ukulawula.
"Andikwazi," kusho u-Albinka. - Ndiyingozi. Kwaye, uthuli kukufa!
- Ponyatnenko ... Nawe? - Ndakhangela iAska.
Intombi yayibambelela emagxeni akhe.
- Ewe, ngokwenene kwindawo yam inobungozi, kodwa ukuba ufuna ngempela ...
- Ziziphi izikhundla? - ndiphazamisekile. - Ngeli xesha, umsebenzi wenyama uya kuzuza kuphela. Yiza, ndiza kulawula ngaphandle kwakho. Kodwa unikezelwa: isidlo sasemini upheka ngeAlinka. - Kakade! - Ukumomotheka. "Zhen, uyamthanda!" Kwaye ndazibeka ekucoceni. Ngokukhawuleza waphuma yonke inkunkuma. Ndazihlamba izitya ndaza ndazityula itafile, ndazitshiza phantsi ... Emva koko ndakhangela ngaphandle kwiredi. Abahlobo bahlala ebhentshini baza bahleka.
"Yonke into, mantombazana!" Yenziwe! Ndibeka emlindweni! - ndabika. - Ngoku uqala ukupheka isidlo sakusihlwa.
- Nantsi enye! - Waved away Aska. - Ndathabatha iisantike ekhaya. Kukho intlanzi ekhonkxiweyo. Namhlanje siya kulawula.
"Ngaba ufuna ukupheka ezinye iifatata ezitsha?" Ndakubuza ngethemba.
- I-glutton! Ufuna-wena upheke, - U-Aska uhluthe kakubi.
Ndandifuna ukusebenzisa i-Albinka, kodwa ngelo xesha wenyuka ebhentshini njenge-stung. Kwesandla sakhe sazinqabana. Xa ebona oku, wafa.
- Kwimi isiphelo! Ndiya kuguqa! - Ekhangela mna, wayala:
"Isikhwama sam!" Ngokukhawuleza! Kulapho ndifumana unyango lokunyanga.
Ndagijimela kwi-gallop yakhe yekhredithi . Emva koko isiqingatha seyure wenza u-Albina ukuba amthande aze amdumise u-Aska, owayephendukele umngane wakhe othandekayo. Emva koko wawabeka ngokucokisekileyo ebhedeni waza waya kuhlambulula iitata. Ngexesha lesidlo sasikhumbula iminyaka Ndithatyathwe yintetho, abahlobo bam bawunaki umbuzo wam malunga nokuba ngubani oza kuhlamba izitya. Kwaye, ndandifuna ukucaphuka, kodwa ke i-cell phone yanyanzelwa. Intloko ebizwa ngokuba.
- Eugene! Kukho imeko yexakeka! ULada wathathwa esibhedlele. Unokushiya kusasa?
- Akukho ngxaki! Wathi ngaphandle kokuzisola. Kwaye, ngokubeka phantsi ummkeli, wathi:
- Iphelisa ikhefu lam.
"Hayi, oh-oh-oh-oh," u-Aska waqala ukugula. "Kwiminyaka yeenkulungwane sasihlangene, kwaye wena ..."
"Kuthekani ukuba unako ukukhulula nakwiveki ezayo?" - Ngethemba lacela uAlbina. - Ezo zintathu zivuyisa kakhulu.
"Andiyicingi njalo," ndagubha. "Ulapha ngandlela-thile ngaphandle kwam!"
