"Awunaso naziphi na izicwangciso."

Unokucinga ukuba, kwintoni eyenzekayo, ndandibeka ityala! Emva kokuqhawula umtshato, ndilahlekelwe ngumhlobo wam. Ziqhelekile kunye no-Alex kunye nesiko, ngokuba sasitshatile ngelixa sifunda.

Ndade ndibetha , ndabuyela ekhaya. Ngoko ke, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiqheke ubudlelwane. Kwaye kwangoko i-firm, apho yayisebenza khona iminyaka emithandathu, yavalwa. Kwakukho inzuzo yokungabikho kwemisebenzi, okanye ukuba yi-barman kwi-cafe encinane apho umntakwabo owayengumntakwabo wandifumana khona indawo. Ewe, ndakhetha umsebenzi. Emva kwakho konke, ukuba uhlala ekhaya uze uhlale ukhumbule, unokwenyuka. Ndimi e-bar malunga nonyaka ngoku. Akunjalo okubi. Ndiyakuthanda ukuthetha kunye neendwendwe. Wonke umntu ufuna ukwabelana ngeengxaki zabo. Ndiphulaphule nabani na. Ngamanye amaxesha ndihlala ndithule, ngamanye amaxesha ndiba novelwano, ngamanye amaxesha ndicebisa indlela yokuxazulula ukungqubana nomfazi wam okanye ukunqoba ubunzima kubaphathi bam. Ndiyakuvuyela kuyo. Nokuba ndivakalelwa kancinci kwengqondo. Ewe, kwaye oogxa bandiphatha kakuhle, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba ndihlala ndikulungele ukuthatha indawo yabo, phumani ngoMgqibelo, xa ibarti baninzi abathengi. "Ewe ... akukho nto enokuyenza, kufuneka ndibe ngumsebenzi," waqinisekisa. - Ewe, kulungile. Utshintsho lufana noshintsho, alubi ngakumbi kunabanye abaninzi ... "Ukudala imvakalelo, ndibeka iingubo zokugqoka, nangona ndihlala ndizama ukukhangela ingqalelo emsebenzini.
Kwakungabikho abathengi , kwaye umlindi, owayengumsebenzi kunye nam, waqhawula. Ukujika kumabonwakude, ndafumana umdlalo wam intandokazi, apho ndahleka ndaye ndakhala. Kwaye ke, xa iinyembezi zisula, umfana omde wangena kwi cafe. Wajonge umlindi olele, egxininiswe aze aqonde ngqo kwibhar. Inwele emfutshane, ubuso obuvulekileyo, i-confidence gait, ukubukeka okungenakwenzeka. Kodwa, xa efika kwinqanaba, ngokukhawuleza waphawula emehlweni akhe amakhulu ayingcongolo okanye ukukhathazeka.
"Ikhofi, nceda," umfokazi wathi ngokumomotheka, "kwaye kushushu, okanye kuqhwaqhaqha!" Ndacinga ukuba wayefuna ukuthetha enye into, kodwa akazange akhethe.
- Masicinge. Ngaphambi kokusasa, kwaye umtshakazi akasakulungeli? Wazama ukuthetha naye.
"Umtshakazi?" Nangona kunjalo, ewe. Ngomso wayeyintombi yam. Izandla zabavakatjhi bezithuthuzela ngokukhawuleza.

Kwaye namhlanje ngokusuka nje wangishiya. Ngomhla woNyaka omtsha, cinga! Usuku olufanelekileyo kakhulu, "wahleka ngokukrakra. - Sathenga amasongo, sanquma ukuba siza kulandela umtshato. Ndonwabile gqitha! Kodwa i-Inna yaqalisa ukubuyela ekhaya ngokukhawuleza, yathi umsebenzi wongezwa ekupheleni konyaka. Ewe, mna ... Yiloo nto isisidenge, wayekholelwa yonke into awayeyithethayo.
- Ukububula kakhulu, le nkwenkwe yaqhubeka:
- Kwasekusasa waqhawula ngezinyembezi, wavuma ukuba ufuna ukuchitha uEva omNyaka kunye nomnye. Umntu osebenza naye kwi-firm firm. Ngaba uyaqonda ukuba ndiziva njani?
- Ewe ... Kunokuba ndiqonda! - Ndimomomotheka kwaye ndambetha ngenyameko kwingalo elele kwi-counter. - Umyeni wam washiya mna ngomhla wam wokuzalwa, xa behleli etafileni. Kuphela sathela iwayini, ifowuni yavuma. Wawuthabatha umamkeli, elindele ukuvuyisana, kodwa u-Alexei wabuza ilizwi lika-Alexei elingaqhelekanga. U-Lesha waxubha waza wathetha kanzima kangangokuba ndade ndibiza: "Ngaba le ngunkosikazi yakho?" Ngokukhawuleza umyeni wakhe wagxininisa ngokuphendula: "Andizange ndifune ukukuphanga le holide, kodwa kuba kwenzeka oko ..."
- Nantsi ingxaki! - waphumela ngaphandle kwindwendwe. "Ngokucacileyo, uhlobo ..."
"Musa ... Unyaka omtsha unye," ndazama ukuhoxisa ingxoxo kwimibuzo ebuhlungu. - Oo, Nkosi! Ndingubani na? Phantse ilishumi elinambini sele sele! Ndaya efrijini ndaza ndathatha ukhupha. Wazama ukunqanda umlindi, kodwa walala ngokucacileyo.
"Kuhle ukuba ulapha." Wanikela ingilazi kumfokazi. - Kwaye ke kufuneka ndizisele kuphela uNyaka Omtsha ...
Sasilumkile i-tartlets , kwaye kamva umvakatye wanikela nge-toast elandelayo:
"Makhe siphuze ngokumomotheka!" Kwaye, yintoni igama lakho?
"Kulula kakhulu, uLyuba," ndatshitshisa ngeentloni novuyo.
-Lyuba ... Yimnandi! Lyubushka, Uthando ... Cinga nje ngoku! Ukuhlangabezana noLuthando ... kwaye nini? Ngomhla woNyaka omtsha!
"Ungubani igama lakho, ungummangaliso ongaqhelekanga?" Awuzibonakalisi okwamanje.
- Igama lam nguMaxim.
Kwaye sasibabhinqa. Ixesha liye laphela. Ndabona kuphela loo ma grey kunye nokucinga kwabo kubo. Ukucamngca ukutshitshisa kwakuthandile. Kwakubonakala ngathi sisondela kwi-gravity ...
- Ngoku! - Maxim ngokukhawuleza waphula "ukungabi namandla" waza wanyamalala kwangoko. Iyure idlulile, kwaye akabuyanga. I-alamu yatshintshwa yithemba, kwakucatshulwa ukuba: "Yisoloko iimeko. Ewe, konke okulungileyo ... Ukunyaniseka konyaka omtsha - ngokukhawuleza kwafika, ngokukhawuleza uyekile ... Uya kucinga. Ibali eliqhelekileyo malunga neCinderella ... "Kodwa" ukukhohlisa "apha, kwaye wawaphikisa amagama am, ebonisa ukuba yinyani yinyani. U-Max wayemi phambi kwekhasti kwaye wabamba i-red rose kwi-stem ende. Amapilanga akhe ayiphulile ngeqhwa.
Isipho sikaMnyaka omtsha othobekileyo, "watsho ngokuhlazeka, wathatha umkhwapho ephakamileyo lakhe-kwaye ngomzuzwana, u-confetti wasuka phezu kwethu. Ndaphakamisa izandla zam, ndizama ukubamba iindidi ezinemibala, kwaye ngokukhawuleza ndandiziva ukuba ndiseMaxim. Wandiva.
Intloko yam i ... Asizange siqaphele ukuba ubusuku bobunye buhamba njani ...

Ndiyamangalisa ukuba kukumangalisa, "ndaphendula, kodwa andizange ndiqale ukuthetha ngommangaliso okwenzeka ngo-Eva. Kwaye ukuba uNyaka omtsha ozayo siza kudibana nentanda yakho enkundleni e-Courchevel, naye akazange athethe nantoni na.
