Ngaloo mini, njenjalo, ndihamba ngendlela eqhelekileyo xa ndandifika ngokukhawuleza ndikhala ngokukhawuleza: "Suka!" - Khawuyeke ukudubula! Ndamemeza ngomsongelo owayengumfokazi owayesejikeleza ngekhamera. Ekugqibeleni wayeka ukunqothula, wakrazula kwikhamera waza wathi:
"Bathabatha ubuhenyu ngaphandle kwesithili." Kwaye ndiya kuthatha imifanekiso yakho. - andizange ndidlule. Unobuso obunomfanekiso obunomfanekiso. Kwaye umfanekiso ... Kwaye ke, ukuba ndakuxwayisa, ukunyameka nokusa kwangoko kuya kutshabalala. Kwaye ngoko imifanekiso iya kuba yinto enomdla. Ukuncoma kuyamnceda umphefumlo. Ubuhle, ngokumangalisa umfanekiso we-photogenic, onomdla ... Hayi, ndaqagela, ndade ndikholelwa kuyo, kodwa ngenxa yezizathu ezithile ezifana nomlilo wamagama amahle ebomini bemihla ngemihla awazange ndiphazamise.
- Maximilian, - umphathi wezobuciko ozoziveza ngokwakhe. "Undibiza ngokuba nguMax kuphela." Yaye yintoni igama lakho, umfokazi onoyikrakra wam? Nymph? Nayad? Mermaid?
- Hayi! Nje uAlbina. Undibiza ngokuba nje nguAlya, "ndaphendula, ndaza ndabuza:" Ngoko, uya kukwazi nini ukuthabatha iziqhamo zemizamo yakho yezithombe ze-titanic? " Okanye mhlawumbi u-joked, kwaye andiyi kubona nayiphi iifoto kwaye akayi kuqonda indlela i-photogenic, enhle, njl, njll.
"Ngomso uze uyithathe," uMax waphendula ngokulula. "Uphi na ukulungele kuwe?" Ndiza kuza kunoma yiphi indawo oya kubeka kuyo.
Ndacinga ngentshutshiso . Yam endlwini? Kodwa ndiyibona okokuqala ngqa ebomini bam! Kuye? Hayi, ngokwenene! Naliphi na imeko engaqinisekanga. Kwi cafe? Kuxhomekeke kakhulu kulabo abafuna ukunweba ababaziyo. Kwaye ndaqonda ngokukhawuleza ukuba ndifuna ukwandisa ukuba ndijwayelene nalo mntu ongaziwayo.
"Kwindawo efanayo," ndaphendula ngenyameko. "Yintsimbi yesithathu." Ngaba kuhle?
"Ndiya kuthi," uMax wandiqinisekisa, kwaye wamthuma ukumangalela. "Ufezekileyo!" Uyi-museum yami ... Ngomso olandelayo kwimizuzu emithathu ndandihamba ngepaki yepaki. Imvula eninzi. I-sambulela yayingekho, ngoko kwakungabikho mzekelo wam ubuhle bwanamhlanje. Inkukhu emanzi! UMax wayehleli esihlahleni somkhonto. Xa ndisondela kuye, wenyuka, wammboza ngebhokethi yakhe, kwaye kwafuneka ndiqhube kuye. Sema ecaleni, kwaye ndathandaza kuphela ukuba akuyi kuvakala ukubetha kwentliziyo yam enoyikiweyo neyokrakrayo:
"Max, ndiyaxolisa ukuba ndiphelile." Kwaye le mvula ... Awuyikuhleka? Ndiyabona ngokwenene imifanekiso?
"Eneneni," wahleka. "Kuphela akuyona indawo ephambili yokujonga iifoto zam zobuciko." Mhlawumbi, uza kum?
Ndandikulungele nantoni na. Njengoko kuvele, uMax uhlala emanyathelo amabini epakini, kwaye ngentliziyo edibeneyo, ndagxininisa: ngoko makube, siya kuwe. Sasibalekela, sifike isiqhwithi esibomvu, uMax wathetha into enhle, engakhathali:
"Ulungile kakhulu, uAlya." Uphefumlelwe wam, umoya wam omtsha ... ndathatha iifoto zakho izolo kwaye andinakuziqhawula kude nabo. Kwakungaphezu kwamandla am. Ndiza kuninika zonke iifoto, nokuba ifilimu, ukuba unyanzela, kodwa ndiza kushiya esinye isithombe. Uya kuma etafileni yam, kwaye xa ihlabathi liqhubeka, liza kubonakala lihlahlela, ndiza kujonga amehlo akho amahle.
Ndamjonga ngetyala , njengokungathi uzama ukufumanisa ukuba le ndoda ayidanga, kwaye ngexesha elifanayo lazama ukugcina ubuncinane ubuninzi beentshukumo ukuze idibanise nembono yakhe. Kodwa, bulela uThixo, ekugqibeleni sifikela ekhayeni likaMax. Ndavula umlomo wam. Xa kwakukho apho, ngokusobala, kwakukho indawo yokuhlala emithathu okanye kwanegumbi elinesine, kodwa umnikazi omtsha waxosha zonke iingqungquthela zangaphakathi phakathi kwamagumbi, eshiya indlu yangasese kuphela, indlu yokugezela kunye nekhitshi elikhulu. Zonke ezinye zifana nesithuba senkundla, apho umbhede ojikelezayo ngaphantsi kombhobho ovulekileyo, iibhola zitulo, indawo enkulu yomlilo, Ubomi obuhlukeneyo buhlala ifihla enkulu yebhere le-polar, lisasazeka emnyango, nakwiindonga - iifoto.
Ngaphambi kokuba ifoto ifakwe , ayizange ifike ngokukhawuleza. Ekuqaleni uMax wada wandiphoqelela ukuba ndifake indawo yokulala yokulala, kwaye ke ndalelwa ngetoni engenamondlo:
"Yithinte iingubo zakho ezimanzi, u-Alyochka, ndiya kubomisa, kwaye ngelixa uhlala kulo mlambo wokufudumala!" Andifuni ukuba i-museum yami ibambe ubushushu! Ndemi kwindawo yokuhlambela kwaye ndandiziva ukuba ndiphethe ubugonyamelo kwindawo ethile. Ekuphumeni kwakhe, wenyuka waya kwisitulo seentonga, ewa phantsi kweemilenze zakhe, walinda uMax ukwenza inkqubo efanayo ngokutshintsha iimpahla. Wabonakala uhamba-ze, kuphela iinqumlo ziboshwe nge-beige, njengobisi obuncibilikiweyo, ngehawula. "Ngoku uyeza kum, kwaye andinakuyenza nayiphi na into ... Kodwa andifuni ukumelana. Lo mfana ... Ndiyamazi nje ngosuku, kodwa ndilindele ... ndimlindele!
Kwaye ndifuna ... Ndifuna yena kuphela! "- ndibethe entloko yam. Wafika wahlala ezinyaweni zam. Emva koko, njengokungathi ukukhumbuza, ukunyuka, ukusa phezu komgangatho omkhulu obomvu obomvu woboya obunobumba, wathululela iwayini elibomvu legazi zibe zimbini zegesi ezinobumba ezibonakalayo kwaye wandibiza ngesandla sakhe:
"Woza apha, mhle wam!" Ngaphambi koko, ndandinomfana omnye ... kuphela. Ngomnyaka kamva sahlula iindlela kunye naye, kwaye ndadluliselwa kwenye i-faculty.
Kwaye ngoko ke ndagqiba kwelokuba: kuqala ukuhamba kweMendelssohn, kwaye emva koko-umbhede. Kwaye ke ... uMax. Wathi: "Woza apha", kwaye ndayeka phantsi. Wawa ngamadolo phambi kwam, waqala ukumbanga iinyawo zam ...
Kwakungekho nje ubuhlobo obusondeleyo , kodwa ngumculo omangalisayo, omthandayo. Kodwa xa, bekhululekile kwaye ndamangalisa ngenjabulo, ndibe ndilele kwi-red-blood plaid, entliziyweni yam umbuzo ophazamisayo wawuphendukile: yintoni elandelayo? Ukubandezeleka nokubuza kwakungadingeki. UMax wahlala phantsi, imilenze yakhe yayingena phantsi kwakhe, welula isandla sakhe kum, wandiqhayisa isama sam, njengokungathi ufunda umxholo wobuso bam. Wajonga emehlweni am kwaye wathetha ngokunyanisekileyo, ngothando nangomonde:
"Andiyi kuphinda ndahlukane kunye nawe, yam yolondolozo." U ndi khuthaza. Wena ... Kungekudala kusihlwa ndaqala ukulungela ukuya ekhaya. Andizange ndifune ukubuyela emva kwakhe kuye, kunye noMax ukusuka kum - naye:
"Andiyi kuphila kude kube sekuseni!" Ngaphandle kwakho ... Ngomso ndiya kukuthatha esikolweni. Ndingabaphanga kangakanani na kuni nonke? Cinga ngento ethile, cela. Ngoko ebomini bam kwakukho umntu ngenxa yokuba ndikulungele ukulungiselela imibingelelo. Ndibalekele kwintetho, iisemina ezinqamlekileyo ... andingenako ngaphandle kwakhe, kwaye wandidumise ngokukhululekileyo ngeengxaki zakhe, izipho, izinto ezingamangalisa. Unokuyilungisela umculi wesitalato, kwaye sasimi ngokuphulaphula umculo kunye nokumanga. Kodwa naphi na apho sidibana khona, kwaye nayiphi na into esiyenzayo, sihlala sihamba kwelinye icala-kwikhaya likaMax. Okokuqala, kwakukho umlo obomvu obomvu, apho sasingazange sifike kumbhede ojikelezayo, kwaye okwesibini - iifoto. Ndingazijonga iiyure. U-Max wayengumculi wesithombe esihle. Imifanekiso yakhe yahlala kwaye yafa, yayidanduluka yahleka, yavuya, yatshutshisa, yaxutywa, yaphoqeleka ukuba igxume ngokuhlonela. Iveki idlulile emva kokumazi, xa uMax kuqala efuna ukugxininisa:
"Ndimele ndithathe imifanekiso yakho ... Unobuso obungavamile, u-Albina." Unobumnandi kwaye ubumnene. Abantu kufuneka babone ubuhle bakho, ukuphelela kwakho ...
- Shoot? - Ndihleka, ndikhumbula iimfundiso zikaMax ngethuba lokuqala. "Bathabatha ubuhenyu ngaphandle kweso sithili, kwaye ndiyakwazi ukufotowa ... andiyiqondi." Masizame. Ndiyathembisa, ndiya kuba ngumfundi othobelayo, inkosi yam!
Ngoko ukuhlangana kwethu nothando kwaqala ukuguqula umfanekiso wesithombe. Ndiyathanda kakhulu ukubuza. Ndakhela izambatho eziqhenqileyo ezazivuyisa uMax, zijonge kwisibuko ixesha elide, zibuza ukuba kufuneka kwenziwe ntoni, ukuze kulungelelaniswe umfanekiso. Ngamanye amaxesha saya kwiindawo eziphambili zeso sixeko, kwaye uMax wathatha imifanekiso, wathatha imifanekiso, wathatha imifanekiso ... Ndajonga iikopi zam iifoto zam, kwaye walinda ... Ndandiziva-wayefuna amagama am entle. Kwaye ndamthanda kakhulu. Hayi, kungekhona ubuso bakhe obuhle okanye umfanekiso, kodwa umsebenzi wakhe. Inyanga kamva sagubha umkhosi omncinci wokuba siyazi, kwaye umfoto wam waphinde wanyula into endiyichitha ngaphambili:
"Muza, ndifuna ukufotoza uhamba." Umzimba wakho uzive ...
Ngeli xesha mna mna, sele ndikulungele ukulinga okunjalo. Ndandifuna kuphela i-push.
Ukuphonononga iifoto zam , ndandidla ngokucinga: "Ngoku xa kunjalo, kodwa ngaphandle kweengubo ..." Ndajika kuMax ndaqala ukuphazamisa ngokukhawuleza. Kwaye yena ... Hayi, akazange akhuphe ukuvula i-lens yekhamera. Wayegcoba waza wangiphosa egazini elibomvu legazi, kwaye xa kwakunomsindo, kodwa kusefudumala, kungekho mlingana, ndisaqhubeka ndidilika. Andizange ndicinge ukuba unokuyeka ukundibathanda. Ngoko, kwenzeka okuthile. Ndaza kuye, njengokungathi ngamaphiko, kodwa kwakungumqobo ongalindelekanga ukuba ndisebenze ...
Ubomvu obomvu, wema phezu kwam, ehamba ze, kwaye ucofa i-shutter yekhamera. Kwaye kwakumnandi kakhulu ... Ndamrhola izandla zam, ndincenga ukuba ndiyeke, ndambiza, ndamtsala, ndamkhohlisa, kodwa akazange akwazi ukumisa ... Kususela ngaloo mini iiseshoni zibe yinxalenye yeentlanganiso zethu. Uthobephi ukuthozama? Hayi, andizange ndihlazeke. Ndamkhohlisa, ndazibonakalisa ekukhanyeni kwamagqabi, ndambona eshaqhaqhazela, kwaye wayenomuzwa ongenakuqondakala kwaye ongaqondakali phezu kwendoda yakhe ethandekayo. Umxholo wefeyari wagqiba ngelinye ilanga. Namhlanje - yonke into, njengaxa onke, kodwa ngomso uMaha akafiki. Ukuvuma ukuba wayitshintshile ingqondo yakhe, wayeka uthando okanye wandibala, kwakungenakwenzeka. Kwaye ndagijimela kwinqaba yakhe, ndihlekisana: "Ukuba nje ndaphila ...", kuba ndacinga nje into enye; Kodwa ^ wayephila kwaye kakuhle. Wadibana naye, njengokuba soloko ehlala ephazamiseka, eyanconywa, eyanconywa, kwaye ngokukhawuleza waba ngumsebenzi ongenamandla kwaye aphephe ngokukhululeka: - Alya, ndiya kukubiza. Ngoku ndinomfanekiso wokubaluleka wesithombe, kwaye uya kuphazamisa. Ndiza kukuchaza yonke into kuwe ...
Kodwa ngosuku olulandelayo akabizanga . Ngomhla, naye. Ndagqiba ekubeni ndizingca kwaye ndilinde nje. "Ukuqhawula! Emva koko, ndiyindawo yakhe yolondolozo! Ngaphandle kwam, uMax nje akakwazi ukudala nokusebenza! Kwaye mna ngaphandle kwayo ... andinakuphila "- Ndandithukuthele ndikhala.
Emva kokuba ndihlume uMax ebusweni be-champagne, ngokukhawuleza waphinda wabona kum. Kodwa kuphelile! Andiyakholwa. Ngoku ke makumqubuzele iingqumbo zakhe, kuba andiyi kuphinda ndibuye.
Ndabandezeleka kakhulu, kodwa xa ukuthula kwakhe kwakuhlala iintsuku ezilishumi, ndandiphalaza ngokuzikhukhumeza kwam.
- Alya? Wamangaliswa. "Awukho ngexesha, ntombazana yam." Umsebenzi omningi ...
Ndamjonga ngaphaya kwakhe, ngaphakathi kwideni elihle. Ubomvu obomvu begazi, njengokuba njalo, lwasasazeka phakathi kwekamelo likaMax, kwaye intombazane enqabileyo kunye neyezelele ngokupheleleyo yayilinda ngokungenakucingca ngokubuya komnikazi.
"Kuhle kakhulu," ndathi ndisiyatha kwaye ndakhala.
Waphuma waya kwikorori , ngokuvala ngokucophelela umnyango wendlu, waza waqalisa ukundishukumisa ngenxa yokugubha kwakhe.
- Umculi akakwazi ukukhawulelwa. Ungayiqondi njani le nto? Ufuna ntoni kum? Uyeke ukuphefumlela, waphenduka waba ngumthwalo, kunye neenyembezi - esinye isiqinisekiso salokhu. Ndifuna indiza, amaphiko, iphupha! Phuma apha apha ngonaphakade kwaye ungandilandeli kwakhona!
"Ndifuna ukuba unike zonke iifoto zam," ndazibuza ngezinyembezi, eyinkohliso yokukhangela.
"Hayi ngoku," waphendula ngomsindo. "Ndiza kubaqokelela kwaye ndiza kukubiza." Ngoku suka! Ndicela kuwe! Akazange abuyisele imifanekiso, kwaye ngaphandle kokudandatheka okubuhlungu ndashiya ixesha elide kwaye kunzima. Ekuqaleni ndacinga ukugwinya ipilisi yokulala, kodwa, mbulela uThixo, unina wam ozilumko, evakalelwa into ephosakeleyo, engandishiyanga, kungekho nanyathelo elinye. Emva koko intloko ingqongqoza; kwaye ndiza kubhalela ndawo ndawo kule ndawo, kule paki, kulo mzi kunye nalo mntu! Ndiza kusebenza ngokunyanisekileyo, ndithole imali eninzi, buyele kwaye ndiza kumtyelela lo mfanekiso-mfanekiso. Uya kufa xa ebona mna kuyo yonke inkazimulo yobuhle nobutyebi. Kodwa le ngcamango iphosa yaphela ngokukhawuleza. Ngesinye isikhathi, nabahlobo bam, sahamba sidlula kwisixeko, kwaye kwenye i-salon ndabona ipowusta. Kulo - isithombe se-Max. Ifowusta imenywe ukuba ityelele umboniso wesithombe somculi. Ndadonsa amantombazana, kodwa xa sahlukana, imilenze yam ndiyifake khona. Ndayazi ukuba ndiza kubona ... kwaye andizange ndiphosakele. Isihlwele seendwendwe sajikeleza nge salon, kodwa enye ifoto yayinabantu abaninzi. Ndahlala e-tiptoe, ndizama ukubheka umfanekiso ngentloko yam ... Ndandisesithombeni ...
Emva kokusondelana kwethu . Wachukumisa izandla zakhe kwindawo ethile phambi kwakhe waza wabiza ... Emva, kwakukho ukuhleka okuqhelekileyo. UMax wayezungezwe ngabaphulaphuli abangenakuphikiswa, kunye nabo - umgcini wecala kunye ne-tray of champagne.
- Yonke into enhle! - Ndathi ngephambano, ndiza kuMax. Ndathabatha ingilazi ye-champagne esandleni ngasinye ndaza ndayifaka ebusweni obuhle.
- Thatha! Ndiyakwazi ukuphinda kwakhona! - Ndimemeza ku-photojournalists, ababethekile apha ngokulindeleke kwesova, kodwa abafana abasheshayo bakwazi ukulungisa konke ukususela okokuqala. Basebenze kubo. Ndaphinda ndithatha ingilazi ye-champagne, ndayisela e-gulp kwaye ndagxuma kuMax ngesandla sakhe, ehamba ngokuphuma. Ewe, mhlobo wam othandekayo, ngoburhalarhume, awuzange undibone kwangaphambili! Uyakuthandwa? Tolerate! Ukususela kwangoku, andiyikho! Ulila ngosuku olulandelayo kwaye njengokungathi utshintshile kwi rekhodi ye-dictaphone. Amagama, njengangaphambili, malunga nokuphelela kwam:
"Uphefumlelwe!" Ndiyintoni isilumko! Buyela kum. Ndaqaphela ukuba nguwe kuphela onokuyilondolozo lwam. Ngaphandle kwakho andinako ukwenza i-masterpieces. Ndihawukele, Alya! U nguThixo.
"Kakade ke, nguThixo." Andikho umntu ozisola ngayo! Andifumaneki kuwe, cima!
