Namhlanje luluhlobo olungileyo. Spring. Ufudumele kwaye ulungile. Utata ungikhokela ngombamba, sihamba epakini. Kukho abantu baninzi apha. Kukho amantombazana afanayo njengaye, kwaye mhlawumbi banabo ubaba wabo, kodwa oko kungokusemandleni am, ndithandwa kakhulu, ndiyamthanda nje - ndoda yam intanda, ndoda othandekayo. Uyathandwa kuba uyandithanda kakhulu ... nangona ngamanye amaxesha andiyithandi. Saya emthini nasemahlathini, baqhubela ikati emva nangaphambili. Ndiyathanda imisila yeekati, andinakuzikhanyela ukuzonwabisa kwabo. Ndabona kwakhona indawo enye apho kukho iintaka ezininzi. Ngamanye amaxesha balahleka emkhombeni omnye kunye nokuxoxisana nabanye, beqhuba emhlabathini. Kukho unina onomusa ohlala esondla. Siye sahamba ixesha elide ... .. Ndikhathele kwaye ndifuna ukutya, mhlawumbi siya ekhaya? Endleleni eya ekhaya, ndiyicinga i-gruel elimnandi kunye nebhanana, enoba ubaba wayilungiselela isidlo sasemini. Uya kundondla, kwaye siza kudlala naye kwimidlalo eyahlukeneyo. Ndiyayithanda xa ubaba edlala nami emotweni, uyandithatha emagxeni akhe, kwaye siyavuya xa sisendlwini, ukusuka kwigumbi ukuya kwindawo. Into enamhlanje ubaba ayinamandla amaninzi, mhlawumbi, adle kakubi kwaye umama akazange aphulaphule. Indlela esebenza ngayo "udle-mamela". Ewe, ngenxa yendoda yam intanda, ndikulungele ukuzama, apha ndifumanisa iitalente zesibongo. Ukuba kunjalo, kwaye ubaba ufuna ukuphumla, ndicinga ukuba ndiya kulala encinane, mhlawumbi ndiza kutyhafa ngokuhamba, isidlo sakusihlwa.
Ndavuka ngedini ngokuhlwa. Ndimi, ndikhale isikhulu, ukuze ubaba wam othandekayo agxume, aze aphuze ukuzingela. Woza! Ndiphi i-compote! Ndimi. Akukho mntu. Ewe, ndiya kuyimisa ngoku ngoku. Kwaye ndandifuna ukucaphuka, xa umnyango wangena kwigumbi lam livulekile (kwakuqhelekileyo ukuba igumbi likaMama noTata, kodwa izihlandlo zitshintsha kwaye ngoku ziyam). Ubaba wafika !!! Ndingamthanda njani emva koko. Ebusuku, uTata kwaye ndibukela iibhotole ezahlukeneyo, ngokuqinisekileyo ndikhulu kwaye ndikhulile, kodwa, cinga, indoda enkulu inokubukela imifanekiso yamantombazana amancinane. Kodwa, njengoko besithi, abazali abayikukhetha, ndiya kulusebenzisa ngandlela-thile, kuba ndiyayithanda. Uhle kakhulu! Oo, amehlo am akhathele, kwaye ke aya kuzivala, ixesha lokuba ndilale kakhulu. Ngoko, kwaye ndikhohlwe into. O! Ndi khumbula! Ndifuna ukuhlamba. Umama! Umama undibonise ngesepha enomnandi, iyanuka kakuhle, kodwa yindlela evumba ngayo, andisazi ukuba kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba encinci, kwaye umama nobaba abayivuma. Ngokuqhelekileyo emva kokuhlamba kufuneka ube nesidlo esimnandi kunye nombhede ofudumeleyo. Utata uya kundizisa, alala, awanga, kwaye ndilala ebusweni. Ihlaya! Ukukhawuleza ukulala - oku akusikho kum, kuba kuqala ndiza kuba mnandi, njengoko kufanelekile kumantombazana. Ndiya kuba mnandi, kwaye ubawo uya kuza kum. Uya kuza, kwaye ndiza kudlala kunye naye. Yaye ukuba uthe wacaphuka ngenxa yokuba engalali, ndimele ndimomothe okanye ndigubungele, kwaye ipapal iya kuba yisilika. Kwaye nemikhosi yokugqibela ishiya mna, kodwa ke ndiya kulwa nobuthongo njengeqhawe. Ndiya kuthanda, ndiza ... ndiza ...
Namhlanje akuyona imini enhle kakhulu, kuba umama nobaba bayamemeza. Ndibuhlungu, kwaye ngokwenene ndifuna ukumemeza. Ewe, ndilethwe, ngoku ndikhala. Ndizibuza ukuba bangaphi na abayi kuqaphela intlungu yam. Kwaye kutheni bahlukana, ngenxa yokuba yonke into ibonakala iyilungileyo, sinentsapho enobungane kwaye inamandla. Andikwazi ukuziqonda. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba nam, xa ndikhula, nazo ziziphatha ngale ndlela?
Xa, ekugqibeleni, banqabile, uTata wabuya kuqala waza waqala ukukhupha iinwele zam. Ngokunyanisekileyo, andiyithandi xa eyenza, kodwa xa ithetha. Ewe, makenze oko ngokwakhe. Emva koko, endibamba ezandleni zakhe, uyandithatha ehholo aze enze into ejikelezayo endleleni. Ndiyakwazi ukuqonda yonke into, abantwana abancinci kunye nakho konke oko. Kodwa thina siyingana, kungekhona izilumko. Ndibeka esihlalweni ngala mabhonkco amnandi abambe ukuhamba, uhlala phantsi etafileni aze enze ishishini lakhe. Ndingayithandi njani le sihlalo kwaye ezi zingxube zibi. Eyona nto ingandivumela ukuba ndigijime. Utata! Utata! Ngqalelo. Ewe, ndiya kuhlala ngithule, kwaye ngoku baya kundibuyisela embhedeni kwaye ndibe ndedwa, kwaye ke, akukho nkampani. Enyanisweni, yena nomama bakhe banzima kangangokuthi mhlawumbi kulungele ukuba balele ebhedini kunokuba babone imigodi yabo emuncu.
Ngosuku oluthandekayo, ndithi kuwe. Akukho mdlalo, akukho ndawo ekhululekile, isihlalo esiphezulu kunye nebhedi. Andiyithandi xa umama nobaba bexabana. Ngamanye amaxesha, xa umama exakeke kakhulu, sinokulala kunye noyise yonke imini ebhedeni elikhulu. Ewe, eqinisweni, wayelele nje kuphela. Kwaye ndaqhenqa apho, apha, ndizama ukuthabatha amathoyizi amaninzi ngangokunokwenzeka endleleni. Ndiyakuthanda ukulwa noPapa. Ewe, eneneni, ngelixa ndingenamathuba ambalwa, kodwa kuyimfuneko ukubonisa ukuba ngubani oza kumncedisa ozayo endlwini.
Utatomkhulu uza ebusuku. Nanku kuya kuba mnandi. Omkhulu kunye nam ndiya kudlala ezandleni, ngenyameko ukubetha, ukuhamba yonke indawo, ndichaphazela izinto ezinomdla. Ndiyamthanda nogogo, ubawo nonina, ngokuqinisekileyo, baninzi-bahlala belapho. Ndikhumbule kanye ndaya kutyelela ugogo wam, kukuhle kakhulu apho. Kubonakala ngathi umoya ucokola. Kodwa ixesha elide andinako ngaphandle kwengqalelo kababa. Kwaye iintsuku ezimbalwa ziba nzima kakhulu. Nangona ndiphulaphule ugogo, kodwa xa kungekho ntombi kunye nonina ixesha elide, ndiqala ukuba ngongenangqondo. Xa ndibuya ekhaya, okokuqala ndibaphatha kakubi abazali bam, ukuze ikusasa alinakukhululeka apha ngaphandle kwam. Kodwa phantsi koxinzelelo lukaPapa lokumomotheka kunye nothando lomama ixesha elide awuyi kuba nzima. Uyazi ukuba kutheni? Ngenxa yokuba ndiyabathanda!
