Ifowuni yaqothulwa egumbini, kwaye mna, njengenhlanhla yayiza kuba, ndisondeza inwele zam kuphela. "Akukho nto, baya kukubiza. I-Sveta ethile ifuna into ethile, "Ndacinga, kodwa i-crocheting e-intrusive ayizange ime. Kwafuneka ndixhume ngeenwele zesephaya kwelinye ithawula. Andizange ndiphosakele: Umhlobo wam esifubeni wayefuna ukwabelana naye ngeendaba zakhe. "Ewe, kwenzekani kuwe kwakhona?" - ndabuza. "Luhlobo luni lomlilo?" Wena, njenjalo, wandikhupha ngaphandle kwindlu yokugezela ...
- Nata, apha ndinenkunkuma kunye noSasha wam. Into engaqhelekanga eyenzekayo kuye. Kwaye kuyaxhalabisa kakhulu. Ndandizihlaziye ukuhlalutya indlela yakhe yokuziphatha kwaye ndafika kwisiphelo: nguye! Ngokuqinisekileyo! - Ekugqibeleni wakhuluma ngesifo esinzima Svetlana.
Ngubani na? - ngaphandle kokuqonda nto, ndabuza. "Uthetha ntoni, mhlobo?"
- Ewe, hayi ngubani, kodwa yintoni! - Ngokudabukisayo ukulungiswa. Uyazizonda xa engacaciswanga kwi-half-word. "Ewe, oku ... Inkathazo yobudala!"
"Hayi, kutyhafile!" Ndiyabulela uThixo akuyi-AIDS! wazama, wayekuhleka uloyiko lwakhe lokucinga.
"Uthetha ntoni, mbulela uThixo?" - Kukhutshwe ukuba. - Ngaba awuyiqondi? Akunjalo ihlaya! Ukuba ixesha alithatha inyathelo, iphelisa konke okungcono. Ngoko kwincwadi enye efanelekileyo malunga nayo ibhaliwe. Andizange ndicinge ukuba ingakanani inzima engama-middle-aged iyingozi, ingakumbi kumadoda, kodwa ndizama ukucela intombi yam njengento enokuziqonda ngayo into eyayiza kuyenza ukuze kupheliswe lo mqondiso kumdiliya. I-Sveta yam intanda iyazibheka ukuba yinto ebonakalayo enkulu yeengqondo zesintu. Uthanda ukunika iingcebiso, uhlala efumana indlela yokuphuma kuyo nayiphi na imeko enzima kwaye oku kwaziwa phakathi kwabahlobo bakhe. Kwaye ngokukhawuleza yena, umfazi owaziyo yonke into kunye nabantu bonke, uloyiko lwenkathazo ethile! U-Sashka ngumyeni wakhe wesibini, kwaye uSveta uyaziqhenya kakhulu.
Emva koko, uhlale ehleli kwiiyure zokuzonwabisa ekhaya; ivela kumsebenzi ngexesha; Ubhala amanqaku malunga nokuba uya kuphi, uvela kwindawo ethile; kunye nodumo umjonga umfazi kwaye ukholelwa konke akuthethayo, kubonisa ukuba nayiphi na into enomfazi kuye ngumthetho; Uyambamba umama wakhe, embiza ngokuthandana-mamulechka ... Omnye unokuhlala engabonakali izibakala zendoda kaSvetka, kodwa oku kuya kwenza umbuzo weengxaki eziyimfihlelo zangexesha eliphakathi nangakumbi okungaqondakaliyo kwaye engaqondakaliyo. Ngexesha elifanayo, uSanya unembonakalo enhle, uqeqesho olufunayo kunye nomntu oqinileyo: akanako ukubizwa ngokuba ngumatshini.
"Ndiyazi ukuba ndenze ntoni!" Ufanele ubabonge kakhulu, ubahlonele, ubaxabise, kwaye ke abayi kuba nomnqweno wokufumana ukuqonda kwindawo ethile kwicala, - bazama ukuzama ukunika iingcebiso kubantu bonke abazi uSvetka.
- Ngaba uhlanya? Intombi yam enomsindo yamemeza. "Okanye wena, ukuba awukwazi ukuba kwintsapho yethu kukho ihlala yinto yobudala!"
"Ukuba uyayazi yonke into, yintoni ingxaki, thandeka?" Yintoni efunekayo kum? - Ndabuza, ngasese ngethemba lokuba uza kuthetha, bathi, uzimisele nje ukuthulula umphefumlo wakhe, wakhala kwaye uthethe. Kodwa kwakukho!
- Ukukhawuleza, ndinesicwangciso esimangalisayo. Yonke ingqiqo ilula. Ukuba uSanya unomdla, ngoko kufuneka utyeshe okwethutyana ukuya kwintando kunye nokufikelela kumntu. Oku kunceda umntu abuyele esifubeni sentsapho ngaphandle kwemiphumo emibi. U-psychoanalyst wam uncomele oku kum. Ngokukhawuleza kwavela kum ngubani oya kuba "okhethekileyo". UThixo, wabuya waya entlokweni yam ukuba ndidibanise kwiindawo ezithile zasendle kunye nokulinga?
- Yeka! Lindela! Uqinisekile ukuba ufumene umntu? Wabuza, ukulungiselela ukuva impendulo engalunganga. "Ngaba sele ufumene ngokuqinisekileyo?"
"Ewe, andibanjwa, ewe-kungekhona isela, kodwa ... ndiyabona ukuba kukho into engaqhelekanga eyenzekayo kuye." Ngokuqhelekileyo amadoda ahlala ekhulile, aqala isisu, kwaye yena ... Wahlaziya, wanda kakhulu, uhlobo oluthile olushukumisayo lubonakala emehlweni akhe. Kodwa ngokubaluleke kakhulu - imibuzo engapheliyo ayimkhathazi, iyaqhubeka ichuma phambi kwamehlo ethu! Ewe, ungiqeshe umcebisi wangasese? Ndingathini kuye: bathi, umyeni wam uye wakhula kakhulu kwaye uyonwabela ubomi? Gcwalisa i ntsilelo! Kodwa, ngakwelinye icala, kubalulekile ukwenza into! Ngoko ke akunako ukuqhubeka! Ngoko ndiza ngecebo elinjalo.
- Mva, Svetik! Ngaba uyayiqonda into othetha ngayo? Ngaba ngokwenene ufuna iSasha wakho ukuba atyebe kwaye ahlambe? Okanye uyimfama? - Ndandithukuthele, ndizama ukwenjenjalo ukuzikhusela kwizicwangciso zikaSvetkin.
- Muzhiks, ndithandwa, yenza okuhle kuphela ngexesha lokuwa ngothando! Kwaye kunzima! Ngokuqinisekileyo unomntu! Ngamafutshane, kufuneka uncede! Ndiyathemba wena intsapho yam injabulo? NgoMgqibelo ndikhangele phambili ukutyelela! Uza kusebenza ku-Sasha, kodwa okokuqala uza kufuneka ube yindoda "yevamp". Ngomso siya kwindwendwe yam inwele, kumculi wokwenza izinto, ngoko siyakukufumana iimpahla ezithakazelisayo. Kanti - akukho lizwi elinye. Konke, Natulechka, ndiyamanga! De kube ngoMgqibelo! Yaye ungafiki. - Kwakukho ukukhala kwi-receiver.
Ndaya kwisibuko ndajonga buhlungu xa ndicinga. Lo mfanekiso oqhenqileyo eneenkonkxa ezivela entanyeni entloko akazange ivuse intlungu kunye nokuphefumlelwa kum.
"Siyakwenza indoda kuwe!" Ndandidumise ukucinga kwam, ngoko ndambonisa ulwimi lwam kwaye ndigubha, ndaya kulala: kusasa kusisilumko. Kwaphela ixesha elide ndiphoswe, ndizama ukulala, kodwa ndiqonda ukuba andinakukwazi ukuhlala, ndihleli esihlalweni, ndahlala ngaphantsi komlotha, ndaqala ukucinga. Ngoko, kwimbono yowesifazane omnye, uSasha wayeyindoda egqibeleleyo, kwaye ayizange ifaneleke entloko yakhe ukuba ingathathwa ngokunyanisekileyo ngumntu ngaphandle komfazi wayo omhle.
Emuva kwinqanaba, bonke abafundi , kunye nabafundisi besilisa, bafaka iintamo zabo xa intombi yam enesifashini, uSvetka, idlulile ngendoda ye-mannequin ngokubonakala kukaSophia Loren. Wayefundela ngokulula, kwaye xa wayetshatile ngomnyaka wesithathu kwinhloko yesebe, u-Ilyushin, umbuzo wokuphumelela ukuphumelela kwawo wawuyimfuneko ngokuqulathwe. U-Ilyushin ngokwakhe, ke indoda eneminyaka engama-50 ubudala, ivela kummandla wobukhosi bokwenene. Ekhaya, wazingcolisa kuphela kwi-suit, wayenayo "imikhwa emibi" waza wabiza umfazi wakhe omncinci uSvetka "udade." Umphefumlo omncinane wabuya walungiswa endlwini yabo into efana nobusuku behlabathi, apho umyeni wakhe ompofu wayephulaphule ngokuzithoba nangokwenene kwiingxabano zethu zobutsha.
Ngamahlwempu u-Ilyushin, engaqhelekanga kuye nayiphi na into enqabekayo, yamkelwa kwaye ngeli xesha. Enyanisweni, inkululeko kaSvetkina yayimkhathaza kakhulu, kuba, ukuze angatshintshi "isidleke salo", waphoqeleka ukuba amthengise igumbi lamagumbi amabini kwiphakathi kwaye azinikele kuye "Volvo". Ngokubhekisele kuSasha, wayeyilungu lexesha elide. Nangona bekungenakubizwa ngokuba yi-conservative, wayengenakulingisa kwiimeko zabasetyhini banamhlanje. U-Sanya wayengathandwanga ngokubanzi ngabasetyhini ababeshushu okanye abaxhalabele kakhulu ngemisebenzi yabo, kwaye ekubeni kukho abantu abanjalo ngexesha lethu, akafumananga nomhlobo wobomi nangayiphi indlela.
Ngethuba lokukhangela, lo mfana wakwazi ukugqwesa kwiziko, enze umsebenzi omhle, athenge imoto enhle kunye nedolo elikhulu kwindawo ehloniphekileyo. U-Svetko wadibana naye kwikliniki yakhe yangasese, apho wayesevahla amazinyo amhlophe. Xa uSanya uthe kuphela intombazana engeyiyo yokutshaya inokumomotheka, ndandiva ngempendulo: "Ngolwazi lwakho, andiyena nje ongabhiyoyi, kodwa ndingatshatanga!" Oku kwafana nesiphakamiso sokuqhubeka nomhlobo. Ukususela ngoko, uSashka ubheka intanda yakhe emlonyeni kwaye uyavuya gqitha ukuba uSvetik uyamvumela ukuba azithande. Hayi, ingcamango yokuba umntu othile wabonakala engafanelekanga entloko yam. Ndandifake ngomsindo ngengubo yengubo kwaye ndazama ukulala, ngenjongo yokugxeka uSvetka isicelo sakhe. Izizathu zokugatya zazingxenyeni entloko.
"Andiyi kuthatha inxaxheba ekukhohlisweni kokuzibonakalisa komfazi wakho oyigugu, ocebileyo kwaye ohlaziyiweyo!" Yonke imini ndandithuthunyiswa ngamathandabuzo, kwaye ngokuhlwa, ndafumana isibindi, ndagqiba ekubeni ndibize umhlobo wam ngokwabo, ukuze ndingabi nxamnye neefowuni zakhe kwaye ndingaliphulaphuli lowo ndingumrhwebi.
"Svetik, ungazibulala ..." Ndaqala ngelizwi elibi kakhulu, kodwa akazange andivumele ukuba ndigqibe ukunyaniswa kwentetho ngokucokisekileyo.
"Mamela, Natka, oko ndiza kukuxelela kwangoku," watsho ngokuvuya. Oo, kukumemeza nje!
Ngaba uva? Uncedo lwakho alufunanga. Ndazifumana mna ngokwam. Ngaba ucinga ukuba ndiphi na uSabata namhlanje emva komsebenzi? Awuyi kukholwa! Wahlala e-barbecue ekhoneni waza wadla imvana ebhaka. Ngaba unokucinga? Ewe, ewe, ndimele ndixolele ukungcatsha okubi kobuzalwana bethu bezityalo. Sekunjalo, kubhetele kune-syndrome ye-crisis-middle life.
"Ngoko uhlambulukile kwaye ufumene nje ukuba uyayidla inyama ngasese?" Ndabuza.
- Ngaphandle kokungathandabuzeki! Mhlawumbi nje akazange afune ukucaphukisa. Kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba kutheni engathandekiyo kwitafile? Kwaye wayeka ukuthanda iklabishi, kunye neebhanana akusasahle ... Hayi, akukho nto! Ndiya kumenza "inyama" yosuku! - intombazana yayimnandi gqitha ngokukhawuleza ndandizixolisa ngoSanya.
Ndandibuza, "Mva, Sveta," kwaye ucinga ukuba kuyinto evamile ukuba indoda yakho ifihle? " Ewe, uyamshiya kunye nesityalo sayo esisiqhoqho.
- Kakade! - intombazana yacaphuka. - Uyiqonda ntoni ngale nto? Namhlanje ndiya kuvuma inyama, ngomso - ukuba akaphume egalaji ... Kwaye kuya kwenzeka ntoni emva koko? Kulula ukuba uthethe, Natasha, awuthatanga kwaye akazi ukuba ngumsebenzi onzima ukufundisa umyeni wakho. Nantsi, mthande, ufuna amehlo kunye namehlo.
Ndaphendula, "Svetochka," ndothuka ngenxa yokufumana ngokukhawuleza. "Nawe awusabi ukuba emva kokukufihla kuwe ukuba adle inyama, akayi kukhangela umfazi oya kumvumela ukuba adle le nyama enhle kwaye aze amphekele ngokumnandi?"
Kwakukho uxolo olude kummkeli. Ndilinde umzuzu kwaye ndabuza uSvetka:
- Hayi! Uhleli? Ngaba undiva?
"Ndiyakuva," kwafika omnye umgca womgca. "Undibulale." Mamela, Natasha! Kwaye kutheni ufike ngokukhawuleza kwesi sigqibo? Ngendlela, awunaso amava okuthetha rhoqo kunye nobudlelwane obusondeleyo kunye namadoda. Ziziphi iingcinga ezingaqhelekanga ezisentloko yakho?
"Ndiza kukuxelela apho ezi ngcamango zivela khona," Ndaphendula ngomsindo omncinci, kuba ndidiniwe ukuba ndilahlekile ngonaphakade emehlweni abahlobo bam. Kungenxa yokuba ukuba ndihamba nendoda enjengeSanya yakho yadibana, ndiza kuyipheka inyama ngenyameko kwaye ndize ndiyifake kwigaraji lekhefu, ukuba yayihlala apho! Ngaba uyaqonda, Svetik?! Ewe, ndiza ... - Ulungile, uNatka, - waphendula intombazana ngelizwi eliwileyo.
- Ngandlela-thile andingazange ndicinge ngento ngaphambi kokuba ... andizange ndambuze oko yena ngokwakhe akwenzile kwi-barbecue ekhoneni ezimbalwa iintsuku ezidlulileyo. Emva kwayo yonke into, ngoku kwangoko uye waphelelwa ngandlela-thile, kwaye eli libala elihle emehlweni akhe ... Hayi, kulungile, ngokubaluleke kakhulu, mna, ndiyathemba, iya kuqhubeka ibe yinto emangalisayo. Ngaphandle kwemifuno!
