Okwesibini ngokufanayo isilayi sewayini esifanayo newayini emhlophe ibonakala kwibha. "Ngokuba wena," watsho umfokazi. Ukukhetha, saphuza.
"Nguwe wedwa apha?" Wabuza.

"Kulungile ... njengaye," loo mntu wayenqikaza kwaye wakhawuleza ukuguqulela incoko kwenye yesihloko esithi: "Mhlawumbi siya kuhlangana?" NdiyiVvava.
"Ndiye nguZhenya," wamomotheka.
"Ziphuze, Zhenyura?" Winkink. Andizange ndihanjiswe ngolo hlobo. Mhlawumbi kuba iVovchik indibathandayo?
Emva kwemizuzu emashumi mane anesihlanu , okanye nangaphezulu, ndaqonda: "Ndiyaxolisa, kodwa ixesha lokuba ndihambe ekhaya."
- Ngokukrakra? Kwaye abahlobo bakho, njengoko ndikhangeleyo, abayikukhawuleza. "Wayexhaphaza kumantombazana ayenomdla.
"Kuhle kubo, baya kusasa ngomso, ngoMgqibelo, emva kwayo yonke into," wagubha.
"Ngaba unayo ibhizinisi ukususela kule ntsasa?"
"Hayi, kungcono ukuba ungabizi," wabuhlungu, njengokungathi wayekhathazeka ngeentlungu.
- Kutheni? Ziziphi iintlobo zeengxaki? Masizilungiselele, "uVolodka washo.
"Ngelishwa, awuyi kubagqiba."
- Kodwa ke, yintoni isitshixo?
- Yaye ingongoma kukuba umphathi wam ibhokhwe.
UVavvka wahleka entliziyweni.
"Andiboni isizathu sokuzonwabisa," ndathi. - Intlungu enjalo, umntu uyisifo seklinikhi, kwaye uyakhala.
"Ewe, yinto enzima." Kuphi kuphela kusasa kusasa?
"Ngaphandle koko: ubukhulu babo umphathi weqela lonke wasiyala ukuba sihambe ngoMgqibelo, niyabona, inkampani ayizange igqibe icebo." Usenokucinga ukuba umsebenzi ngosuku olwaphulo luyi-panacea, ukuhlangula kwenkampani. Ukongezelela, le moron isongela ukuxothwa, ukuba umntu akayi kuphuma.
"Ewe, kakuhle, unomphathi obunzima," uVova waphinde wabuya, waqhayisa. "Ewe, ukuba unyanzelekile ukuba uhambe, awuyi kucinga ukuba ndiya kuhanjiswa?"
Ndicinga: kutheni? Yaye ndiyintoni na into endivimbela ukuba ndiqhubeke ndiqhelana naye? Kuba ngelo xesha intliziyo yam ikhululekile ngokupheleleyo ...
"Andiyi," watsho. "Kodwa ngaba bakho abangani ngaphandle kwakho?"
"Baya kwenza," waphenduka, wabheka abahlobo bakhe, waza wongeza: "Baye bethandwa kakhulu kangangokuthi abayi kukhangela nokusabalalisa kwam."
Ikhephu! Gqi beleni! Ndakhala ngokuvuya njengoko sasiphuma esitalatweni. Wanyusa amehlo akhe kwiifleksi zeqhwa ezikhanyayo.
"Uyi-snegurka yam," wahleka uVova.
"Hayi, ubuncinane asinayo iqhwa leqhwa," ndatshitshisa, nditshintshe ihappy.
"Cha, hayi, Snegurochka," waphinda.
"Ngaloo ndlela, unguye uSanta Claus," ndandisaqhubeka ndigubha.
"Akunabasebenzi abaneleyo, ingxowa enezipho kunye neendvuba," waphendula ngezwi kum.
- Luhlobo luni lweSanta Claus ngaphandle kweendevu? - Ndandiphalaza, ndathatha uVolodya ngesandla.
Wayexininisa ngesandla sam, kwaye sahamba ngesitalato, singenasandla sam izandla, sifana nesibini esibonisa uthando.
"Ngokuqhelekileyo, andinakube nguBawo Frost," wayedlala. "Kodwa uhle kakhulu, njenge-Snow Maiden."
"Andifuni ukuba yi-Snow Maiden," wahlanza, wayibhoxa ngomlomo wakhe.
- Kulungile. Ufuna bani na?
"Mfundisikazi," waphendula ngokukhawuleza.
- Ndiyavuma. Uya kuba ngukumkanikazi wam. Ufuna ntoni, Nkosi? Inkwenkwezi evela esibhakabhakeni okanye kwiinqabunga zekhephu ebusika?
"Andizange ndiyiqaphele!"
Endleleni, sasizikhohlise ngeenxa zonke njengabantwana abancinci, siphosa iinqwelo zeqhwa. Sekufuphi kufuphi nendlu yam njengendawo yokugqibela ndibeka iVavvka footboard, kwaye wayeseqhankqalazi elikhulu leqhwa. Kodwa mna andinakuzibamba, ukuhleka, ukukhwela kuVolodya ukusuka phezulu. Ubuso bakhe babusondele kakhulu ... Amehlo kunye nemilomo ... andinakummelana nokumanga. Okokuqala ..
"Masihambe kuwe," wavuma.
Sawanga kunye nangena emnyango , nakwi-elevator, nakwizitebhisi, nakwi-hall. Ndandiphazamiseka ngothando olunjalo ...
Kwaye ke ubu bubele bubuyiselwa yintando yokuzilahla. Kwakukho ukuhanjiswa kwamalungu atshisayo, kunye neentloni ezingenamahloni, kunye nokuvuma okungenasisiseko sothando ... ndalala, ndinyamezela isifuba sikaVolodya, ndambetha iphunga elimangalisa le-cologne kwaye ndamemeza ngenjabulo. Kwaye ndathi ndavula amehlo enjengekusasa, ndafumanisa ukuba esikhundleni somntu othandekayo ndamkela umququ. Kwaphela imizuzwana embalwa ndacinga ukuba iVova icebile, ukuze ingangikhathazi, yavuka yaza ekhitshini yokwenza ikhofi. Kwimzuzwana, kwabonakala ngathi ukuba iphunga lekofi esanda kuzaliswa yayisekhaya. Ndandihleka ngokukhawuleza kwaye ndotyula ngokukhawuleza ngethuba lokumangalisa.
Kodwa ixesha lidlula, kodwa akukho nto eyenzekayo.
- Volodya! Wabiza ngokukhawuleza. "Ndiyindoda, ndivele ndivukile, ndleleni!"
Kodwa impendulo - akukho sandi esisodwa.
- Vova! Wememeza kwakhona. Akukho nto yaphula ukuthula.
Kuphela ngoku ndikhankanya into ethile. Intliziyo yakhe yabuhlungu ... Washiya ngelixa ndilele. Wabaleka. Njengeenkomo zokugqibela. Kodwa kutheni? Andizange ndiphendule kulo mbuzo.
Esikhundleni sokuya eofisini , njengoko ifunyanwe yintloko, ndandihlupheka yonke imihla.
Luhlobo luni lomsebenzi onokuyenza xa indoda yam intanda ibalekela kum? Ndandifuna ngokugqithiseleyo zonke iintlobo zezizathu zokuzithethelela, ukubeka ngokuthobeka, ukuziphatha okungaqhelekanga kwaye, ngokwemvelo, ndawafumana. Emva koko, eneneni, umntu unokuba nezizathu eziliwaka zokukhawuleza kwindawo ethile, ehamba phambili! Kwaye kutheni ku-sly? Ewe, eyokuqala! Wayegqiba nje ukundivumela ukuba ndilale emva kobusuku obushushu. Ukunyamekela ... Kuze kube ngukuhlwa ebudeni bomphefumlo wam kwakukho ithemba lokuba uVolodya wayeza kuvula umnyango. Ndiya kuvula, uya kungena egumbini, ndikhethe, ndiqhekeze, ndibange uze undithwale ukuba ndilale. Emva koko siza kuthandana ixesha elide, size sinandiphe ukutshatana.
Akazange avele ngaloo mini okanye elandelayo. Ndandifuna ukufa. Okanye ulale embhedeni, jikela eludongeni uze ungavuki. Ndabiza ukuba ndisebenze, ndiqambe amanga, ukuba ndagula, kodwa, kungekudala ndaliva ilizwi lam, inkosi yam yazisa ukuba ndigxothwe.
Ndaye ndaza ndakhala ngokukhawuleza, ngoko ndazityhahla ndodwa, ndandilwa ngamaqhinga. Andizange ndiphile, kodwa kwakukho ngumoya, ndanyuka ngaphaya kwendlu njenge-somnambulist kwaye andizange ndibone ukukhanya ekupheleni kwendlela. Okungaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kokufunyanwa kuphela emva kweentsuku ezilishumi.
Kancinci kuyeka kuye ilahleko zakhe kwiindawo zonke. Uqale ukuthumela i-resume, ukuya kwi-interviews. UVolodya wazama ukungazicingi. Ngenxa yokuba isilonda somphefumlo asikaphilwanga ... Inyanga idlulile. Kwakukho iindandatho emnyango. UVolodya wema emngceleni.
- Sawubona. Akulindelanga?
"Kutheni ufike?"
- Chaza yonke into.
"Hayi, zama," watsho ngokukrakra.
"Khawukhumbule xa ndidibana nawe, ngaba ndingenayo igqabi?"
Uthi omnye wabahlobo bam usatshatile. "
-Aye. Yiloo nto uthethileyo. Kwaye ndandingathethi nto. Andizange ndivume ukuba ngumtshato wam.
Ndandidla ngokugqithiseleyo.
"Andizange ndiyazi ukuba ndiza kukuhlangana nawe." Kodwa akukho nto ingatshintshwa. Ndatshata. Kwaye kwakunobumnandi. Kubuyela kuphela. Kwaoko kwafika kuwe.
"Kutheni?"
"Kutheni?" Ndililahlekile.
"Phumani ..." watsho ngamazinyo azinyiweyo.
- Akufanele ukwenze oku, iZhenyura ...
- Phuma! Bhala ububi.
Washiya. Kwaye ndaziva ndizisola. Akunjalo. Yaye nomkakhe. Oko ngokuqinisekileyo uya kukhohlisa ngokuqhubekayo, ukulala ngesini nababusikazi ngobunye ubusuku ...
