Yonke into ehlobo yayingeyona indlela esaphupha ngayo. Imali ayikwazanga ukuhlala eYurophu, kodwa nakwiCrimea. Mina noMishka sasilucoca ngokucebise iifoto zethu zeholide, zikhishwe ngesinye icala kwitafile. Emva koko nda khumbula umhlobo wam wesikolo. - Mva, Mishka, kodwa masihambe siye eLizka? Wasimema ebusika ...
- Ngoko, mhlawumbi wayememela ixesha lokubusika, - wazama ukuhleka umyeni. - Khawucinge, siphezu kwinqwelo e-Sea of Azov ...
- Yiza, - ndatshitshiswa. "Sasifana noodade esikolweni naye." Akusilize ngaphandle kokusondeza ngayo yonke intsapho ebusika. Ndiya kumbiza. Njani wena?
"Zama," uMishka wavuma. Kwakhona wayekhathele kulo nyaka kwaye waphupha ukulala esihlabathini esitshisayo ngaphantsi kwam. Ngaloo busuku ndaqhagamshelana nomhlobo wesikolo. Ngaba ukuxhamla kwakungalunganga, okanye uLizka wagijimela kwifowuni, wayinqoba imingcele, kodwa ilizwi lakhe laloyikima.
- Ewe, ndiyakhumbula! Wayethetha.
Yiza, ndiya kulungisa yonke into! Ndixelele ngokwenene, yiphi inamba yokulungiselela indlu?
Ngaba yindlu yethu? Ndade ndikhanya ngokuvuya. Wayebeka phantsi umnxeba wathi kumyeni wakhe: "Uyabona!" Uthando lomdala alugqithisi, njengobungane besikolo. ULizka ulindele ngomhla weshumi elinamibini kwaye uya kulungiselela ngokukhethekileyo indlu. Khangela, u-capitalist ufumene! Malunga nenyaniso yokuba umntu owayesandifunda naye ekilasini uLizaveta waba ngumnini wendlu yokubhoda emanxwemeni oLwandle lwase-Azov, kwi-arrow ye-Arabat, ndafunda iinyanga ezintandathu ezedlulileyo.
Imali yayingenayo nje ukuhlala kwindawo ethile eYurophu, kodwa nakwiindawo zokuhlala ezisezantsi zelizwe.
Sa khumbula esinye isithembiso.
Asibonanga iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu, kodwa ebusika wazikhumbuza ngokwakhe. Ndabiza kwaye ndithukuthele ndithi ndifuna ngokukhawuleza ukuzisa unyana wam eKie ukuze ndibonisane, ndize ndibuze ukuba ingayeka iintsuku ezimbalwa kunye nathi.
- Ewe, sithetha ntoni, Lizka! - Ndandonwabile ngokwenene, kodwa ndathetha naye, ndakhangela kwiindawo zam zamagumbi amabini, apho, kunye nendoda yam, inzala yethu emibini, i-basset-hound yaseDazi enobungqungquthela kunye nekratshi ebomvu iBerggamot.
"Sifanele iintsuku ezimbalwa," uLizka uthe xa sagqiba ukuyeka ukugubungela, sikhumbula isikolo, abahlobo babantwana, abaye bachitha ubomi.
"Ewe, njengoko kunyanzelekile, luninzi kwaye uphile," ndatshitshisa ndajonga umyeni wam. UMishka wabuya esivela kumsebenzi onoxanduva ngokukhutshwa kwangethuba kwinqanaba eliyinxalenye yentsapho yethu kumakhulu.
Uninazala wayengeke ephosakele xa ebona unyana enezikhwama, ememeza emibini kunye nokulwa nabazukulwana, uDaisy nge-leash kunye ne-Bergamot kwinqwelo. "Ngaba i-Nata yayikhupha?" Uninazala wambuza, ilizwi lakhe liwela. "Datychto, Mama! Watsho uMisha. - Sineendwendwe kuphela, abanendawo yokuhlala kuyo. Ngaba nawe, abantwana kunye noDusya kunye neBerggam baneentsuku ezimbalwa zokuthatha ikhefu? "Ngoko ingxaki yokulala uLisa kunye nendodana yakhe encinci yayisombulule. Mina noMishka safudukela kwiibhedi zentonga ezimbini, apho abafana bethu belele khona, kwaye iindwendwe zanikwa igumbi lokulala. ULizka utshintshile kakhulu kule minyaka engamashumi amabini. Akunjalo, akunjalo ukuba unamandla kwaye uqaqambile, enoba udayiwe. Ndacinga ngokuzisola ukuba umhlobo wam wayebe nomona ngandlela-thile. Ngokukhululeka kwintetho yezokwelapha, wayiboya ubomvu bengubo yam ngesandla sakhe, wayeziva ngokugqithiseleyo ijezi elithambileyo yeengxowanxu, wayichukumisa yonke into endlwini kwaye wagubha:
"Yile ndlela abantu abahlala ngayo kwi-capital!"
Ndixelele ngawe, "ndathi.
- Yintoni enokuyithetha? Wacula. "Silima ukusasa kuze kube sebusuku, njengalowo ohlaselwe." Sawuthengisa indlu yokuhlala kweholide yasekudala, esilungisa, sifuna ukwenza indlu yangasese. Umsebenzi - ngaphezu kwephahla.
- Ngaba unayo indlu yakho yokuhlala? - andinakuqonda ukuba kutheni enomona ngathi. "Lizka, ungumngcwabi!" Kwaye yena, njengokungathi wayegutywe ngeoli kwilonda: wathawula wathi:
- Yiza nayiphi na ixesha! Kubahlobo bamandulo, yebo, yonke into ikhululekile! Esikhundleni seentsuku ezimbalwa, uLisa wayehlala nathi iiveki ezimbini, kwaye imihla ngemihla, ebuyela ekhaya, ndandicinga ngentshutshiso, yintoni enye eyayiza kubakho iindwendwe ezixakekileyo kwiindwendwe, kunokuba zithinte, apho Misha kunye nohlelo lwentlalo lonwabo, olubandakanya ikhonkethi kwi-"Ukraine", iisksi, indawo yokudlela yaseTshayina, i-theater yaseFranco, kwaye ihamba nge-Andreevsky. Xa sasihambise iindwendwe kwisikhululo, ndandingxolisekile malunga nendlela yokubamba ingxowa kwibhajethi yentsapho emva kwemisebenzi yethu ebanzi. ULizka wathi:
- Natasha, ngoku ndikulindela ngokutyelela ... Ngoko ngomhla weshumi elinesithoba kuJulayi salayisha i-trunk yemoto ngezipho ("Siza kukhulula," ndatsho kuMisha.) "Sifanele sizise okungenani izipho ezivela kwikomkhulu") kwaye sishiye kusasa ekuseni. Ukuya kwindawo eyahlukeneyo yeentaba esizifumana emva kobusuku bobusuku. Indlu yebhodi yaseLizkin yayinezindlu ezili-12 ezenziwe ngamatye ezijikeleziweyo ezizungezwe ngcingo. Kulo mlango, esangweni lesango lokubonga, kwakukho indawo yokulala apho umninimkhulu onxilisayo wayenokuthula. Saye samvusa ngentshingo ekuhlaleni kwaye saqala ukucacisa ukuba singobani kwaye kutheni sifika.
- Akukho zihlalo! - wachaza ngobuchule kwaye wayesele efuna ukulala kwakhona, kodwa uMisha wamthabatha ngomkhono waza waqala ukubuza ngokuphikelela apho unokufumana khona umsikazi wendlu yebhodi.
- Lizaveta? - Utata wethu wamangaliswa ngolwazi lwethu. - Baye nomyeni wakhe eGrisi. Iiveki emva kokuba ezimbini ziza kubakho, xa ibhetki elandelayo iya kugqitywa kwaye kuyakuyimfuneko ukukhupha ugogo. Kwaye ngoku akukho ndawo! Kwaye, kubonakala ngathi akazange axoke.
Nangona ubusuku obunzulu , iifestile zezindlu zalala, kwaye ziphuma kuwo wonke umntu, njengokungathi zikhuphisana, ukukhala okudakileyo kwakunzwakala. Abantu baqhekeka baze bazalise ngokupheleleyo ... Umlindi waphakamisa isandla sakhe wathi: "Yiya esixekweni! Apho ungaqeshisa i-angle engenangqiqo. " Yaye iya kuvela phi inamandla emva kweendaba? Sabuyela emva kweentolo zeArabat sahlala phantsi ngobusuku kufuphi nekampu yokuzikhusela. Abaqhaqhaqhazelayo emotweni, bonke ubusuku, bekrakra ngenxa yokukhwaza kweenja eziphahlakeleyo, ukukhankanya ezintenteni, ukunyanzela amandla kunye neengoma zokudakwa. Xa ilanga likhawuleza esibhakabhakeni, thina, sithukuthele kwaye singalali ngokwaneleyo, sasihlala esihlabathini, kwaye uMishka wathi ngobunzima: "Mhlawumbi, siya kuGenichesk, siya kuthatha ingqungquthela iintsuku ezimbalwa." Ngokuqinisekileyo siye sahlaziya iikhilomitha eziliwaka? Siza kugxuma elwandle, kwaye ke-ekhaya. Ndakhala ngenxa yokukhubeka: kwinqatyana yaxutywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye yahamba i-gostinitsy yethu: iibheke ze-Kiev, iiskese "i-Evening ye-Kiev". UMishka wasilahla le phalale ye-tshotile phantsi kwehlathi elikufuphi, kwaye ngoko nangoko wajikelezwa yindoda enxantathu yezinja ezilahlekile kunye neekati. Sifike emotweni size siqhubele eGenichesk. Emva kokuchitha isiqingatha semini sifuna kwaye sithenda, sahlawula umfazi onamafutha e-5 ngempumlo ngobusuku ngobusuku kwigumbi engenamafasitela. "Ngoko awanakho!"
- Mna noMishka sinqume ukungaqhubi imoto , kodwa sihambe kancane. Eminye i-steppes ecocekileyo, yayidla i-shish kebabs kuma-coffee, uMisha wayenomsindo ebusuku kwiinkampu. "Ufunani na?" - loo ntokazi yamangaliswa. "Sinalo ulwandle lokuphilisa!" Ukungcola, inqanawa! "Ekugqibeleni banamathela elwandle. Oku kuthiwa "ulwandle lokuphulukisa" kufuphi nomzi kwakuyindawo ebomvu emdaka obunobumba obunobuninzi beoli. Sasima, siyakuthandabuza indawo ebonakalayo, kodwa sasingazibhukumi ukubhukuda. Kwagqitywa elwandle kwiitilesi waza walala kwada kwahlwa: ukukhathala kwabathintekile. Ekuseni kusasa sasiya ekhaya. Ndandisoloko ndibuhlungu, kodwa umyeni wam, ezama ukusivuyisa, axoxe ngokungapheliyo. "Nata, kulungile ukuba sithatha yonke imali nathi!" Wathi, xa bathetha ukungaqhubi, kodwa bahamba ngokukhawuleza, behlola iindawo ezilungileyo zelizwe lethu, kwaye bayeke kwiindawo abayithandayo.
Baye bedla evulekileyo kwi-steppes eziqholiweyo, besidla isidlo sakusihlwa ezindleleni zeefestile, bachitha ubusuku emasimini, bahamba ngeedolophu ezingaqhelekanga, kwaye emva kweveki kamva babuyela ekhaya, baqinisekisa ngokuqinisekileyo unina kaMisha:
- Ukuba awubaleli lonke elwandle, ngoko sinokuthi ikhefu yayiyimpumelelo! Kwiiveki ezimbini kamva, u-Lizka wabiza kwaye ngelizwi elikhubekileyo landikhupha:
- Ewe, Natasha! Ngubani owenza oku? Savuma ngomhla wamashumi amabini ka-Agasti, kwaye wagijima ngomhla wama-20 kaJulayi! Intombi, ewe, ndandingenaso ixesha ...
- Woza, Lizka! Ndathi, kwaye ngenxa yesizathu esithile sahlutha. "Kulungile."
"Yileyo ndlela uhlala uphatha ngayo amanzi," kusho uMisha.
"Siza kubona," ndaphendula ngokukhawuleza. - Ubomi buyinto engaqinisekanga ...
