Nangona u-Anechka wayebandakanyeka kwimicimbi yabantwana bakhe, ndandingalindelekanga ngandlela-thile ndangena kwizikhumbuzo zeminyaka yesikolo ... Sifunda kunye noMarko kwiiklasi ezifanayo. Amantombazana ayengamthandi njengento ehle kakhulu, kodwa ayethanda ukuthetha naye. Wayenomdla kakhulu, evuya kwaye ... ecebile kakhulu. Ndiyakwazi ukufundisisa kwisikolo esiphakamileyo samabanga aphakamileyo, kodwa ndakhetha isikolo sesithili esiqhelekileyo.
Ngendlela, le nto yayiyona sizathu esona sikhulu se-scandals kwintsapho kaMarko. Uyise wayekholelwa ukuba isikolo akusiyo iziko eliphambili lemfundo. Kodwa uMarko wayenenkani ngokumelana nombono wakhe. Okokufihla, ndandithandana naye ngaphandle kwememori. Kwakhona wandibonisa ngolu hlobo: wayethetha kunye nam ekutshintsheni, waphuma ekhaya. Kwinqanaba lokugqibela, saba ngabahlobo abangenakulinganiswa. Umama wayemthanda uMarko, kodwa wayesaba ukuba andiyi kungena kuye ngokupheleleyo. "Ntombi, yena kuphela uthanda umhlobo, kungekhona njengentombazana eyintandokazi. Qaphela, "wayesoloko esho. Ndaqinisekisa umama ukuba yonke into yayingaphantsi, kwaye wayethemba ngasese ngelinye ilanga uMark wayeza kumthanda.
Emva koko siya kuyunivesithi kunye kwaye sitshatile kwiminyaka emibini. Iingxaki zaqala xa uMarko engadlulanga iimviwo zokungena kwi-faculty ye-philology yangaphandle. Uyise wayedla ngokutya. Ndazama ukuxhasa umhlobo.
- Ungakhathazeki. Ngonyaka uzakuzama kwakhona, kwaye uya kuyifumana, "uMarko wanxusa. Kodwa kwakungekho nto.
"Mash, ndifuna ukufumana umsebenzi ngokukhawuleza." Ubaba akazange a ndixoshe ngaphandle kwendlu xa efunda iziphumo zeemviwo. Uthe akafuni ukundinceda unyaka, "watsho ngokukrakra. UMarko uzame ukuzifumana kwindawo ethile, kodwa abazange bajonge ukuthatha abatsha kunye nohlaza ukuze basebenze. Kwaye kwavela kuye ...
"U-Auntie Alla ubize izolo. Uhlala eLondon, watshata nomntu wesiNgesi. Ndingumntakwabo omthandayo, "watsho njalo. - Ngomfutshane, wacebisa ukuba ndihambe kuye ixesha elincinci ... Wathi uya kuhlawula izifundo ezifanelekileyo zeelwimi. Kwaye, mhlawumbi, udibanise nomsebenzi wesikhathi sokunyanzela umyeni wakhe, "uMarko waqhubeka, engafihlekanga uvuyo lwakhe. Ndaziva ukuba ngoku ndiza kulila. "Wenze ntoni na?" wabuza malunga nokwesaba, esenethemba lokuba wala.
- Masha, kunjalo, unemibuzo! Ewe, ndiya kuhamba. Ngaba unokucinga ukuba ndingayifumana njani isiNgesi? Oku akusoloko kunjalo. Ewe, kanina, wenza kakuhle! Kwaye kufuneka ndiyenze ntoni apha?
- Ewe, ayikho nto ... Enyanisweni, ndihlala apha, kodwa akubalulekanga, - ndathi ngezinyembezi nangentlungu.
- Ngoko, akufuneki ukuba uhadi! Kwiinyanga ezintathu ndiya kubuya. Kungekudala.
"Hayi, kungekudala ..." Ndaphinda ndisula, ndiyisula i-makeup.
Inyanga kamva uMarko wathola i-visa, amathikithi adibeneyo kwaye wamema abahlobo abaninzi abasondeleyo kwiqela lokuhlalisa. Ngentliziyo yakhe, ndaqonda ukuba wayejonge phambili ngomso - umhla wokuhamba. Ngokungafani nam ... Kwakungazange iqhume, kodwa ndandidlwengulwe.
Emva kwekhefu lokuphumla sasiya esikhuphonini. Ndemi ngasemva, ndiphoqeleka ukuba ndingalili. Ekugqibeleni wamemezela ukuhamba kweMarko. Wandiva waza wawela ipaspoti yokulawula. Ukunyuka kwi-escalator, wandiqhayisa. Ngandlela-thile ndonwaba kakhulu ... Okokuqala, uMarko wabiza phantse yonke imihla, kwaye sixoxe ngeyure. Emva koko iifowuni zazingabonakali kwaye zifutshane. Ndiyindoda enkulu, ndishiye izifundo zam. Kuhle ukuba kwakukho umhlobo kaKosta oye wanceda kwiimviwo, amanqaku abelwanayo kwaye wandincedisa kuyo yonke into.
"Ndingazenza ntoni ngaphandle kwakho," ndagubha, ndikhangele ngenyameko emehlweni akhe. Kodwa uKostik wayemomotheka ngokukhawuleza ...
Iinyanga ezintathu ziphelile. UMarko wayeza kubuya. Kodwa iintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokufika kwakhe wabiza:
"Masha, ndihlala eNgilani ngezinye iinyanga ezintandathu," wamemeza ngokuvuyisa kuye.
- Kukho ithuba lokufunda isiNgesi ngokukhululeka. Ngaba unokucinga?
Andizange ndibuze malunga nantoni na. Ndandibuhlungu kwaye ndenzakele. Kodwa ke walinda, enethemba lokuba uMarko uza kuza ubuncinane kwieholide zeKrisimesi. UKostya wazama ukundinceda, wandidonsa kwi-skating rink, kwi-cinema, wenza konke okusemandleni ukuze ndingacingi ngoMarko. Ngo-Matshi, uMark waphindela. Ndifikile ngaphandle kwefowuni kwindlu yam enomthi we-tulips ophuzi ukususela kwisikhululo-moya. Kwakubonakala kuyimangalisa, ididekile. Andizange ndifune ukuhlala ekhaya, kwaye siye kwi-cafe. Ndamkhangela, ndilinde ukuvuma, kwaye ...
- Mashun, andifuni ukukukhohlisa ... Ngokuqhelekileyo, andiyi kubuya e-Ukraine. Ngoku uyeza kumbona umama, kuba wayekukhumbula kakhulu.
"Kodwa ndingaza kuwe ngezikhathi ezithile, kwaye emva kokufunda kwam ndihamba ngokusisigxina," ndaqalisa.
- Yeka! Okokuqala, kuya kuba nzima ukuba uvule i-visa. Kwaye okwesibini ... Kuthetha ukuthini okulungileyo? Ngokombono wam, andizange ndithembise nantoni na. Singabahlobo nje, kunjalo? Wabuza, ekhangele ngqo kum.
Ndagxotha ngokuthula. Ndandidekile kwaye ndihlazekile. "Hayi, si sidenge! Ndaphupha - ngoku uyifumene, "- wazikhupha ngengqondo. Ndasuka ndaza ndashiya i-cafe ndingazange ndithi. Ndiyathemba ukuba uMarko uya kubamba, qalisa uxolo. Kodwa oku akuzange kwenzeke ... Ekhaya, ndalinda ixesha elide ukuba abize. Ngenanto-ifowuni ithule. Ngomso umama wambiza ngasese uKostya. Wafika ngoko nangoko, wandiphulaphula ngokuzithoba waza waqalisa ukududuza.
Wathi, "Ungakhathazeki," watsho intloko yam. "Uya kumlibala ..."
- andiyi kulibala. Andiyi kulibala. Kostya, ndiyamthanda kakhulu ... "wancenga ngezinyembezi, efihla ehlombe lakhe. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva ndafumanisa ukuba uMarko wayeshiye. Ndandibuhlungu ngakumbi. Xa wayesemzini, wayekulindele ukuba uya kubiza, ukuba siza kudibana kwaye sixoxe ngako konke. Kodwa xa ehamba, ndilahlekelwe ithemba.
Andizange ndifune ukushiya indlu , ndishiye izifundo zam, ndaqala ukuxabana nomama. Ngelo xesha uKostya akazange abeke Wayexabana nam, njengomntwana omncinci, wanyamezela zonke izinto zam.
"Mash, cwaka, emva koko." Kwakhona ndafumana ingxaki - uMarko washiya. Ingaba kukho ukukhanya kwinqaba kuyo? UKostya wayelungile. Ngexesha elithile ndandizibamba, kodwa nayiphi na ingoma kwi-radiyo malunga nothando olungathandabuzekiyo okanye ukubona isibini esithandanayo sasingenza ndidenge.
Ngethamsanqa, ixesha liphilisa. Ngenxa yoko, ngeenyanga ezine ndaphila. Kodwa kwithuba elincinci ... Maka kwakhona uvakashele abazali bakhe. Abahlobo bam bandixelele ngale nto. Kwaye ngengomso ndaza ndamsondela esitalato. Wayefuna ukuzenza ngathi wayengazi, kodwa wavala indlela yam: "Mashun! Kuhle ukukubona! "Watsho ngokumomotheka.
- Nam, - ndinyaniswe ngxaki, kunye nenhliziyo ephilileyo.
- Phu laphula, namhlanje ndinomcimbi. Woza, ewe? Ndiza kuhamba kungekudala, ngoko ndingathanda ukubona bonke abantu abadala ... "Abahlobo bamdala ..." Ndacinga ngomsindo. "Yiloo nto ucinga ngayo ngam!"
"Kulungile, ndiya kuza," watsho ngokuzwakalayo, waza wagqiba ukubonisa ukuba andizange ndiwume yonke into ... Hayi, ndisele ndanxila kakhulu kwaye ndandingalindelekanga ndifumene embhedeni wakhe emva komcimbi. Ngentsasa ndavuka ndazisola. Ngoxa uMarko wayelele, ngokukhawuleza wabutha waza wabaleka ekhaya. Ndazi ukuba ubusuku bwanamhlanje ubulala ngesondo kuphela. Kodwa mna ... Kwakhona, iimvakalelo zangaphambili, ithemba. Ndaye ndaqiniseka ukuba uya kuqonda ukuba wayesandithanda. Kwaye kwindawo ethile emininzi yomphefumlo wam ndathemba ukuba ndiza ku khulelwa, kwaye ke kufuneka afune ukutshata ... Kodwa uMarko wagijima ngaphandle kokundibiza ... Kostya, andizange ndivume ukuba ndilele noMarko, ndathetha nje ngeqela kwaye amava abo.
- Andifanele ndihambe apho ...
"Andifanelekanga," isithunywa sam esilungileyo savuma. "Kodwa ndenza okuhlukile." Kwaye akukho nto iyingozi. Musa ukukhathazeka ... Ngaba uya kusela iwayini?
Emva kweglasi yesibini, ndayeka ukuthetha ngoMarko. Emva kwesithathu, ndikholelwa ukuba ndiyakonwaba.
"Unomsa kunene kum ..." wachaza, ebheka uKostya emehlweni. "Ulungile kakhulu." Kutheni ungenayo intombi?
- Nawe uqikelele? - waphendula ngokukhawuleza, waza wandizonda ngokukhawuleza ... Ngobo busuku sachitha kunye. Ekuseni, uKostik wacela uxolo kum.
Khangela, Masha, oku akuyi kuphinda kwenzeke kwakhona. Ndilahlekile nje intloko yam ...
Ndiphulaphule, ndikhangele ngefasitela. Ndacinga ukuba lonke eli xesha ndihlushwa yizikhumbuzo zikaMarko, kwaye emva kwam kwakukho umntu owamxabisa ngokwenene, mhlawumbi wamthanda.
, Nceda, nceda, "ndathi, waza wamanga.
Saqala ukudibana. UKostya wayevuya kakhulu, ndiyathanda. Nangona ndingazange ndicinge ngaye imini nobusuku, andizange ndiphoso. Ndandihle naye. Ulwalamano lwethu alufananga nalawo ayendibanxulumene noMarko. Kwakungekho matshini, umkhwa ... ndivakalelwa njengomhlobo wam Bones, njengangaphambili. Ndandula ndalala naye ...
Kwiinyanga ezimbini emva kobusuku bokuqala, kwavela ukuba ndikhulelwe. UKostya waxhamla ngovuyo, kwaye ndi ... ukusuka ekuqinisekiseni. Emva kwakho konke, kuba ngumntwana kaMarko ... Unokumangalisa! Andizange ndibe nexesha lokujonga emva, njengoko ndibe ngumfazi kaKostya. Sathuthela kwindlu encinane, leyo indoda yam eyayizuze kumakhulu. Ndiyiphumelele izifundo zam, kuba ukukhulelwa konke kwakungekho kakuhle. Emva koko u-Anya wazalelwa, kwaye andisayi kufuna ukufunda. Ndandisekhaya kunye nentombazana yentombazana, ndaba ngumfazi nonina. Ndiyakhumbula ukuba ngomhla wam womtshato ndandingxakini kukuba ndiza kuba ndingonwabi. Emva koko ndayeka ukucinga ngako ...
"Umama, unina," wakhala uAnna, ephazamisa iimkumbulo zam. "Masibuyele ekhaya sele sele, i-snowflakes iphelile," intombi yam yamhleka emzuzwana.
Ndamthabatha isandla kwaye sahamba ekhaya. Kwaye kwintendelezo ndilindele ukumangaliswa: kwakubonakala ngathi kwindawo yokupaka kufuphi nomoto nguMarko. Nangona bekuyiminyaka emine edlulileyo, andinakuyenza impazamo. Wamthabatha umntwana waza wabuyela endlwini ngebhola. "Hayi, kufuneka! Ngokukhawuleza ndandicinga ngaye, iingcamango zam zizinto. " U-Anechka wayehleli phantsi kweTV ukuze abukele iibhotole, kwaye ndaqala ukulungiselela isidlo sakusihlwa, kodwa ayikwazanga ukugxila, yonke into yawa ezandleni zam. Xa uKostik ebuya emsebenzini, wancinci: "Ucinga, uMarko weza. Yintoni endiyenzayo? "Emva kokutya, ndahlala phantsi phambi kweTV, ngoxa u-Anechka noKostya bejonge le ncwadi. Kwaye omnye umntu ubeka umnyango.
- Uya kuvula? Umyeni wam wandibuza.
"Kakade," waxhamla ngoxolo. "Mhlawumbi umama uRita waphinda wabuya." Kubuhlungu kumfazi omdala, ngoko ndaya kwi-seagull. Uvule kwaye intliziyo ishiye ezithende. Phambi kwam kwakuyimarko. Ukucaphuka, kodwa ngandlela-thile ndatiniwe kwaye ndiphelile.
- Sawubona ... andizange ndikulindele?
"Akunjalo," waphendula ngokuthula. - Uceba ukwenza ntoni?
- Ndagqiba ekubeni ndiyihlole. Ndiyakwazi?
Ndakhangela emva kwendlu ehlukeneyo. UAnya wenyuka waya eKostya, kwaye baqhubela phambili ngekamelo, beqhekeka ngokuhleka.
"Awukwazi," waphendula ngokukhawuleza. "Marc, bhetele uhambe ngokukhawuleza!"
- Ukushiya? - Uncibilike lakhe elangeni eludongeni, wagubha kakhulu. - Umama uthe unomyeni ...
"Ewe," ndathi ngomoya ozolileyo.
- kwaye unayo intombi ...
- Ewe, kukho. Yaye yintoni elandelayo?
"Mamela ... Ingaba lo ngumntwana wam?" Wakhangela ngokukhawuleza. "Yi nyaniso kuphela!" Ndandimangaliswe. Andizange ndibe nexesha lokuphendula, kuba uKostya wayebukele ngaphandle kwindlovu. Umhlaba wam uphumile phantsi kweenyawo zam.
"Ungabi bubuqili!" UMark Mark, ezama ukukhusela naye. "Phuma uze ungabuyi kwakhona!" Musa ukuza, uva? Engalindelanga impendulo, wayibeka umnyango phambi kwakhe. Emva kokuma, wabuyela ekamelweni. Ndicinga ukuba uKostya weva intetho, kuba wayevuyiswa ngokucacileyo. Kwakhona ndandinomdla.
"Masha, kutheni wafika apha?" Umyeni wabuza ngelizwi lokuthuthumela.
"Andiyazi, Kostya. Andizi ... Ngobusuku sahamba silale. Andikwazi ukulala phakathi kobusuku.
Ukukhohlisa, ukujonga ilanga , ukungavuki iKostya. Ngentsasa umyeni wam wayenomsindo. Wazama ukuthetha naye, kodwa wawususa.
"Yintoni na umcimbi kuwe?" Wabuza ekugqibeleni.
"Ngaba ucela?" - uKostya wayecaphukile. Emva koko, ndibona indlela oxhalabile ngayo! " Mhlawumbi usamthanda? Kwakwanele ukuba eze kanye, kwaye ulala ebusuku ...
"Kostya, uthini na?"
"Kutheni wayezibuza ukuba wayeyintombi yakhe?" Unesizathu sokucinga ukuba lo ngumntwana wakhe?
U-Anna uyintombi yakho, "watsho ngokuqinile. "Ndiqinisekile ukuba lo waza wazalwa." Amehlo afanayo, impumlo, uhlobo lwegazi ... Ngaba ucinga ukuba ndiza kukukhohlisa iminyaka emininzi? Akaphendulanga. Ndiyayikhala umlomo wam: ukuthula kwakhe kwandilimaza ... Emva koko uCostas waya emsebenzini. Kwaye imini yonke andinakukwazi ukuzincama. Ngobusuku, uAna wayegqoke ngokufudumele waza waphuma waya kumhlangabeza umyeni wakhe. Ndacinga ukuba uya kuvuya ... Sahamba kancane kwaye siyeka. Emva kwemizuzu emihlanu kamva, imoto entsha yemidlalo yakhupha kufuphi nathi. Kwaphuma uMarko. Wenyuka kuthi, wandibulisa.
- Sawubona, Masha! Njani wena?
Mkhulu! Waphendula ngokucaphuka.
- Enyanisweni? Wancinciza.
- Yinyaniso. Nawe? - Ndabuza, nangona inene andinandaba.
- Ewe, ngaphantsi okanye ngaphantsi ... Kwabafazi bancinci, kwaye ke konke kulungile.
UAnya wema phakathi kwethu , ekhangela umdla kuMark. Kwaye ngoko ngokomthetho wentsingiselo ngaloo mzuzu uKostya waphuma ebhasi. Wayejonga njani kithi! Ndandifuna ukuthetha into ethile, ndambize, kodwa andinayo ixesha. Wajika, wambamba ibhasi ... Umqhubi wavula umnyango, kwaye indoda yam ishiya.
"Sifanele sihambe," ndatshitshisa, ndathatha isandla sika-Anya ngawo onke amandla akhe.
"Mash, linda, nceda ..." uMarko uzame ukuvimba indlela.
"Asinanto yokuthetha nawe," ndatsho ngokukhawuleza ndaza ekhaya. Ndithemba ukuba uKostya uya kutshintsha ingqondo aze abuye. Kodwa akazange abuyele. Yaye ayizange iphendule iifowuni zam. Andizange ndikwazi ukuba ndenzeni.
"Uphi uPapa?" - wabuza u-Anya olele. Ndaqamba amanga ukuba kwakufuneka ahlale emsebenzini, kwaye kuphela emva koko walala. Emva kweeyure ezimbini zokubiza umnxeba, umyeni wam ekugqibeleni wafumana umnxeba.
- Kostik, uphi na? Wabuza ngesibindi.
"Ndikunye nomntakwethu." Yaye yintoni na? Ufunani na?
"Yintoni le?" Dear, silindele wena. Kutheni ungayi ekhaya?
"Ngaba ndinayo indlu?" Mhlawumbi yonke le minyaka uyithandayo kuphela? UKostya wabuza ngokuzumayo.
"Uthetha ntoni na?" Le nto yinto engafaniyo!
- Ndabona indlela obukeka ngayo ...
"Kostya, ungaqulunqa izinto eziyinqatha!"
- Masha, siphila nawe iminyaka emine. Ngethuba lonke eli xesha, ngaba ushilo ukuba undithanda? Ubuncinane kanye?
Ndathula. UKostya ulungile ... andizange ndimxelele amagama amathenda, andingazi njani ukubonisa iimvakalelo zam. Ngokukodwa emva kokutshiswa kunye noMarko.
Ngokukhawuleza, intliziyo yam yavuya.
"Masha, ngaphambi kokuba undibize ekhaya, cinga ..." wamisa, "sibone ukuba ngubani ofuna ukukubona emva kwakho." Uyazi ukuba ndikuthanda kakhulu ... Ngoko ke, ndifuna ukuba ujabule. Kwakukho i-hoot yexesha elide. Ndazitshintsha i-valerian kwaye emva kwemizuzu embalwa ndalala. Ngentsasa ndiyazi kakuhle ukuba isigqibo sam sifanele sibe yintoni.
Ndabiza umyeni wam, waza waphendula ngokukhawuleza.
- Kostya, buya ekhaya, ndikukhumbula. Mthandi, ndaqonda ukuba ndiyakuthanda kangakanani! Ndiyaxolisa ukuba andizange ndikuxelele ngale nto. Ndiyaxolisa, "watsho waza wakhala ngezinyembezi.
UKostya waphulaphula. Kodwa kwakubonakala ngathi yena naye wakhala. Ekugqibeleni ndakwazi ukuthetha amagama endikumele ndiwuthethe ixesha elidlulileyo ... ndaqonda ukuba uKostya wandithandile-ngokwenene, ngokunyanisekileyo. Kwaye oko ndivakalelwa nguMarko kwakuyinto yokuzilibazisa, i-mirage endiyilungisile kwaye ndikholelwa kuyo ...
Ngomhla wama-31 ndahlala ekhishini kufuphi nefasitela ndaza ndayibona ikhefu. Kwakuhle ngaphandle kwewindow, kodwa ndandizibuhlungu kwaye ndonwabile. "Namhlanje unyaka omtsha, kodwa akukho Bones. Indlela endingazange ndiyenze ngayo kuye, ukuba wazisola njani ... "Esi sitratweni esasihlanganiswe ngekhephu, sineephakheji zezipho, abadlulileyo abadlula-baphuthuma ekhaya. Omnye kubo wayebonakala eyaziwayo kum. Kubukeka ... NguKostik! Umyeni wayebuyela ekhaya, ephethe umthi weKrismesi. Ukuhlahlela e-stool, ndagijimela ngasemnyango, okwesibini wehla iinqanaba, wavula umnyango womnyango. "Ndazi ukuba uza kuza," wakhalaza, ehleka kwaye ekhala. Unyaka omtsha onoyolo, uthando lwam ... "
