Andizange ndiyazi nto ngeli lizwe , ngaphandle kokuba le yindawo ephucukileyo emhlabeni apho amadoda egqoke iingubo. Kwaye kuthiwa yi-kilt. Eli qiniso lisoloko lincinci, kodwa andizange ndicinge ukuba ndiza kuhlangana nendoda kwipketi. Ngokuchanekileyo, ndiya kukhetha umyeni onjalo. Ewe, ndatsho ukuba ndikhulule inkululeko kwaye ndatshata nomSpotsman, kunye nothando olukhulu. Kodwa ngubani ocinga ukuba kwakukho, ekupheleni kwehlabathi, ukuba ndiza kumhlangabeza uRobert wam othandekayo? Kodwa wahamba nenjongo eqinile ukuba angayixakeli ubomi bakhe nazo zonke iintlobo zeengcinga.
Cinga: NgoNovemba, ngeCawa. Imvula engathandekiyo iyawa. Akukho mfuneko yokukhawuleza. Mna, ngaphandle komkhwa, ndagqiba ekubeni ndihambe kwinqaba yam endiyithandayo kwaye ndifunde iphephandaba kwendebe yekhofi eqinile. Ndenza le ntuthuko engaxakekiyo ngeveki nganye ... Intombazana enhle ihlezi ngefestile kule cafe kwaye ihlanjululwe ijusi ye-orange ngokucatshulwa ngotshani.
Wayenomkhanyo okhangelekile , kodwa wayebonakala enhle kum: ukunyamezela kwakhe, iinwele ezinde, ezinomtsalane onomuncwane ... Ngokukodwa ndithembele ukuphindaphinda, ndahlala phantsi etafileni lakhe. Satshintshiselana, kwaye ngoko ndabona ukuba wayengekho iScotland. Nangona kunjalo, andizange ndibe neentloni. Lithuba elihle lokufunda into malunga nelinye ilizwe. Ndandifuna ukwazi ukuba ngumhlobo waseScotland: enye ingqondo, enye inkcubeko. Kodwa ngelo xesha, nangona uRobert ubonakala endithanda kakhulu, ndacinga ngento encinane malunga nento ethile, kuba e-Kiev ndandinomhlobo osondeleyo owamememele ukuba ndiyatshatile. Kodwa andizange ndikhawuleze nonke ... Uqhagamshelwano noRobert ngokukhawuleza wabeka ithoni, ngaphandle kokudlala konke kunye nokukhawuleza. Ekuqaleni wayethobela imithetho enjalo waza waba ngumkhokeli wam, umhlobo, umhlobo, ongenamthwalo, kodwa ngelo xesha waxelela izinto ezininzi ezithandekayo ngelizwe lakhe. Kwaye kubaluleke kakhulu - ngaphandle kokukhathazeka nokwakha.
Ngokuzithandela ndizange ndigijime izinto. Ndandisoyika ukuloyikisa ulonwabo oluye lwentloko yam. UAsya kunye ndibonakala ngathi sivula umhlaba jikelele. Kwakumangalisa ukuba sinokufana kakhulu, nangona evela eUkraine, ilizwe alizange lingaziwa kum. Kodwa sele ndiyayixabisa ithemba lokuba siza kuhamba ngeKreshchatyk ngenye imini, siye eKie-Pechersk Lavra, mhlawumbi sitshatile apho. Ngoko kwenzeka emva koko. Kwaye ndazixhamla ngo-Edinburgh wam othandekayo-idolophu yasendulo, emihle, eyayihlala kuyo ookumkani basekuhlaleni. Kanye kunye no-Asya, ndafumana kwakhona isixeko sam: I-Holyroodhouse Palace (iNdlu ye-Cross Cross), apho uMartin Stewart wayehlala khona kwaye apho izihostlo ezimbi zihlala khona, iTrone yaseArthur yinduli ephakamileyo e-Edinburgh, iRoyne Mile yiyona indala kakhulu apha sitrato.
Ukuba kwakungekho kuRobert , andizange ndibe nekhululekile kulo mzi, kweli lizwe. Ukubamba izandla, sazulazula ngonaphakade ngezitrato nasezitrato zase-Edinburgh. Wandifundela iindinyana zomntu owaziwayo kunye nomnumzana uRobert Burns. Ukuhlala ebhentshini epakini, baphuza umnyama ngegama elihle "vihavi" - ubhiya obuninzi obunxilisayo. Kwaye ndandisoloko ndimkhathaza ngesisithakazelo ngokupheleleyo, ngokucinga kwakhe, isicelo sokuza ngandlela-thile ngomhla othile kwi-kilt. URobert wacaphukiswa kakhulu nesi sicelo. Akazange aqonde ukuba kutheni ndibe nesidlo esinjalo sabantu baseScotland abenomdla. Yintoni ongenakuyenza kumfazi omthandayo ngaphandle kokukhumbula! Ukuphuma kwiphantshi phambi kwakhe, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibonelele kwaye ngethuba elifanayo ndinike isandla kunye nentliziyo.
Ndiyazi ukuba oku kwakuyisigqibo esiphuthumayo, kodwa, njengoko besithi kuwe: ukuzingela kunamandla kunokuba ikhoboka! Ndamema uAsya kwindawo yokutyela, apho "umculo" uhlala khona, ngokuchanekileyo, kumabhobho aseScottish angasenyakatho, kwaye apho isitya esithandwa kakhulu sisizwe sinikwa i-haggis: inkunzi yegusha kunye ne-giblets. Ndiyazi, u-Asya wangenza ukuba ndikhanyise, ukuba, ngoluvo lwakho, luvakala, alukhenkqisi kakhulu, kodwa luthandeka kangakanani! Ndiyithandayo, nayo, ndiyayixabisa!
Andiyi kuze ndiyibale indlela endijonga ngayo noRobert. Yonke yahlonishwa yimbeko. Kuyo i-checkered kilt, ivela, i-jacket ethembekileyo, i-stockings, ithabatha, kunye nasezintshoneni-i-spore yekhanda-isikhwama esilenga elangeni elide. Kukho konke oku, uRobert wam ugqoke, kwaye ndikuxelela ukuba, ndandivuyiswa gqitha ngohlobo lwakhe. Akukho nto ihlekisayo okanye ihlazo!
Ngokuphambene noko, ihle kakhulu!
Andizi, ngoko okanye ngaphambilana ndivakalelwa kukuba andinandaba noRobert. Sekunjalo sichitha ixesha elininzi kunye, ukhangeleka kakuhle! Ubuncinane xa uRob, ehlazekile, ehlwayelwa kuye: "Awufuni ukutshata nam? ", Ndaqonda ukuba andinakuyinqabela. Ndicinga ukuba kwakuyi-Edinburgh "eyathengisa" kuthi uthando. Kwakungekho ngaphandle kwesizathu esibizwa ngokuba ngumzi ongeyimfihlelo kunye nengqiqo emhlabeni. Emva koko ndacebisa ukuba uRobert aye eKiev ndawonye aze amxelele kubazali bakhe aze atshate apho. Ngaphezu koko, isivumelwano sam siphelelwa yisikhathi.
Ngokwemvelo, ndavuma ngokuvakalayo: okokuqala, u-Asya wamphendula ngokuphindaphindiweyo, okwesibini, ndandifuna ngempela ukutyelela i-Ukraine. Kwakuyixesha elonwabileyo kuthi. Ngaloo busuku, ngendlela, u-Asya kuqala wahlala kunye nam ubusuku, kwaye kusasa ndampheka ukutya kwasekuseni eScotland: i-oatmeal kunye ne-salmon. Wamangaliswa ngolu hlobo lweemveliso kwaye wathembisa ngokunyanisekileyo kwikamva elikufutshane ukuba undiphathe nge-borsch ne-vareniki ngeerriesries. Ndandiqonda ukuba sakhuliswe kwiinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo, kwaye sonke sibini sinomdla ekufundeni ngomnye into entsha.
Ukufikelela kwiinkcukacha ezincinci.
U-Asya, umzekelo, wayenomdla ngenxa yokuba ndiyinqumle imifino ngamasike. Wahleka ngamagama eesitifiketi zethu zesizwe: isobho senkukhu "ubuso be-coca-ubuso", isaladi ye-mbatata kunye ne-trout - "i-clap-shot", kunye nenyama - "stoviz". Ndandikuthanda ukujonga indlela ekhonza ngayo i-borsch: kufuneka uyenze imisebenzi eninzi kangaka, kodwa indlela enhle ngayo! Ewe, elo xesha, ngaphambi nje kokushiya eKiev, kwakungenxa yethu noRobert uhlobo olusenyongweni, ixesha lokuqonda ngokwenene. Sasithandana, kodwa sazama ukulahlekelwa yintloko yethu, ngenxa yokuba sazi: ukunyamezela ngokukhawuleza kudlula, iholide yokudlula, kwaye ke kuya kufuneka sisebenzise ubomi bemihla ngemihla, ubomi bemihla ngemihla. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba ukuphakanyiswa kwam kuhlanganiswe ngokufanelekileyo kunye nokusebenza kukaRobert. Ndandithanda ukunyaniseka kwakhe nokuqonda, ukuqonda kunye nokunyamekela kwam. ... Kwaye kwabakho umnxeba kubazali, ababethobisayo. "Mama, Tata, lungela!" Ndiza nomyeni. Nguye kuphela eengubo yam!
