Ndiyakhumbula loo mini kakhulu. Ngokuchanekileyo, kusasa. Mna, njengesiqhelo, ndabhaqa indlu. Kukhangela kwisikhwama-singenanto. Nkosi, ndenze ntoni na? Akukho nto yokutya endlwini, kwaye bathembisa ukuhlawula ukudubula kuphela ngeveki ...
Umyeni kwisitulo kunye nekhati elimhlophe liphambi kwesibuko. Esandleni - isipho sam, ibhotile yamanzi angasese.
- Kirill, - ilizwi lizama ukukhohlisa, - andinayo imali nonke. Awuyi kunika? Musa ukubheka phezulu kwindlela ozibonakalise ngayo kwisibuko.
- UCyril uphosa ngokungakhathali:
- Akukho mali? Qaphela ...
Ngaloo mizuzu, ubomi bam intsapho budibanisekile njengepuzzles puzzle, kwaye ndathi enye into:
"Awuyi kusondela kum njengomfazi." Akukho.
Kwaye emva koko konke okwaneleyo kuKirill, wangamkela, wathi: "Mvule, ubolekise ngelixa kubamelwane, kwaye mna perejmu ndiya kunika, ungakhathazeki". Kodwa akazange athi ...
Yona ityala. Ndiye ndazisebenzisa, ndiqhele ukunyamezela, ukuqonda. Ndakufundisa ukuba ungakhathazeki nantoni na. Nangona intsapho kaKirill ayifanele igcinwe. Kutheni? Kukho umfazi ohlwaya ukusasa kuze kube sebusuku, njengehora elikhweleyo, kwaye akafuni nto nayiphindayo. Kutheni utsho into ethile?
Indoda yathi kuLuthando: "Unamandla kakhulu, undibeka phantsi." Mhlawumbi, ulungile - ndihlala ndizama ukukhokela inkqubo. Kwakudingeka ukuba uzame ukuba buthathaka, mhlawumbi, ngoko uzakuzama ukuqina. Kwaye kwakulula ukuba ndiyenze yonke into.
Kuye ... igama lam lokuqala kwizinto zobomi. Umama wambhinqa iingubo zam, ndachukumisa isandla sakhe ndathi: "Mama!" Kususela ngaloo ndlela, kudlule iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane. Ngaloo ntsasa enomso, emva kokuphulaphula iingcebiso zomyeni wakhe, ndaya kwisibuko ndaqala. Ndabona umfazi ongaqhelekanga-ukhathele, ungonwabi, ungathandwa, wazidela kumntu ongekho umdla.
.. .Thixo, indlela enhle ngayo ebusheni bakhe! Madly! Ngokuqinisekileyo, oku kungento engenamsebenzi. Kodwa ngoku ndikuqonda oku. Kwaye ke ... ndizungezwe ngobuso obuhle ukusuka ebuntwaneni. Umama, Tata. Ugogo, oomkhulu. Ngoko ke, ndikholelwa ukuba indoda yam, indoda yam, ngokuqinisekileyo imele ibe nzima. Kwi-actress Uthando Rudenko, i-biography iye yaphuhliswa ngempumelelo, kwaye ebomini wayenentloni - unomntwana ofundelekileyo noqondayo.
Uthando ke lugqiba i-GITIS: i-eyed-eyed, i-slim, ne-scythe ende. Ukuhleka - ungakhathazeki. Ngokubanzi, ubomi buhle kwaye buhlala kakuhle! Kwaye apha - uCyril. Wafunda ngunyaka wokuqala, wangena kwi-midlalo emva kokugqitywa kwi-Faculty of Mechanics yaseMoscow State University. Ndisoloko ndigqoke ngeenaliti, zivumba kakhulu igrume ebiza. Ewe, kunye "nexesha elidlulileyo" - bathi, wayetshatile, kwaye yakhe intombi. Amantombazana awazange anike. Bamgijima, bamlandela. Iintyatyambo zazigqoka izixhobo, zabuyela ekhaya ngeteksi. Watshutshisa bonke abalandeli. Yintoni enye enye intombazana eneminyaka engamashumi amabini efunekayo? Yehla othandweni, kunjalo.
Xa sadibana, uCyril wayecebise ukuqhuba.
Ndithi: "Musa, oku kude, e-Izmaylovo." Wayehleka waza wathi ke ngoku uqhuba ngoku, kuba naye uhlala eYizmailovo. Kwavela ukuba kwindlu yam ukuya kwiminithi yakhe elishumi. Kwaye wafunda kwisikolo semathematika, esasisondele kakhulu kwindlu yam. Ngaye, ndaya kwimitha nganye imihla. Kodwa ndaphuma ngaphandle kwindlu ukuya kwishumi elinesibhozo, kuba ndafunda kwisikolo esikhethekileyo saseFransi kwiSitalato saseArbat. Kwaye wabonakala kamva. Sasihamba ngesitrato esifanayo kwiminyaka elishumi kunye nomlinganiselo wehafu!
Ekuqaleni uCyril wabona ukuthanda emva kweeklasi kwiziko, emva - emva kwemisebenzi: emva kokugqiba i-GITIS, ikhosi yeGoncharov, ndafika kuye kwi-Theatre ye-Mayakovsky. Ama-actress amaninzi kumdlalo wethu wothando wathandana noCyril, waze wabuyela esitalatweni ukuze abone xa eza kum, kwaye, eneneni.
"I-bouquet-bouquet" yexesha iqhutywe ngokungaboni: emva kweenyanga ezintandathu ndikhulelwe. Andizange ndiqiniseke ukuba siya kutshata. Ukuba indoda yam iya kuba yinto engcono. Kwaye intsapho, nangona eyangaphambili eyayingakwazi ukuhlala kunye neTarututa malunga neminyaka elishumi. Xa wayefuna uncedo lomthetho. Wa khumbula uLyova. Igosa, ke wasebenza eVnesheconombank. Kwaye badibana. ITatututa yanceda. Ngombulelo, umama wayilungiselela isidlo sakusihlwa. Emva koko babonisana ngendlela entsha. Waqala ukutshata. Kwaphela malunga neminyaka emibini. ULyova, nangona kwindlela yokutyelela unina, wadibana nobuninzi bokuthi: "Mama, mhlawumbi uya kuba neepule? Kwaye ndiya kubantwana ndawonye ekhaya. " Eyinyaniso, eyinkimbinkimbi yokuqala - naye unendodana, mhlawumbi ayithandi ukuba ndibiza uyise ngokuthi "iipilisi." Kodwa umama wathi: "ULyova usebenza kwinto ethi ubenabantwana ababini - uSergei kunye nawe." USergei Taratuta naye ungumdlali kunye nomlobi owaziwayo.
Abazali bam bahlukana xa ndiba nesithoba. Okwesibini umama wayeshade. Wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nesibhozo, uLev Semenovich Taratute-mashumi mahlanu anesithathu. Baqhelana nolutsha. Emva kokuba umfazi wakhe, umlingisi ongumdlali waseLyudmila Fetisova, wasebenza kwi-Soviet Army Theater, kunye nodade omdala ongumama, u-Irina Soldatova. U-Irina wayengumhlobo noLyova noLyusya. Kwakuyimbhangqwana elimangalisayo. Kwaye umama, ewajongayo unyaka nonyaka, ebona ububele ababenxibelelana nabo, nokuba bekuncinci othandana nabo bobabini njengomntu omnye. Kwaye ngokukhawuleza eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesithandathu ubudala, uLusya uyafa ngenxa yesifo esikhulu. ULyova uhlala ngumhlolokazi, omnye uvelisa unyana kaSeryozha. Umama wadibana nobaba okwangoku, batshata, bazalela waza baqhawula.
Zilungiselele ngokwahlukileyo - azizange zidwetshwe. U-Levushka wacebisa, kodwa umama wayegcinwe ngumkhumbula waseLuce. Kwaye ngelinye ilanga uphupha iphupha: njengokungathi kuvela kwiLundle enkulu iLuce, uyasondela kunye noLyova, udibanisa izandla zakhe, kwaye emomothekayo, ushiye. Ukuvuka, umama waqonda ukuba uLusia wayibusisile lo mtshato. Kukho elinye icala. Emva kokuba umama noLevushka beza kudlala kwi-Theatre yeSoviet Army ngokwahlukileyo. Sadibana sele sisekhompyutheni. Kwaye kwavela ukuba emagumbini amabini okugqoka anamawaka amabini anamakhelwane ababini-i-forty-first. Emva koko baqonda ukuba isigwebo sitsho kubo: Batshati, bafana! Kwaye ndivuya gqitha!
ULyova wamkela ngokukhawuleza. UPapulya noLevushka baqala ukubiza phambi komtshato wabo. Ndabona ukuba uyayikhathalela njani umama, ukuba umama wabuyela njani ngokukhawuleza. Sihlobo naye. Yena, njengoLevushka, ngumntu onokwethenjelwa kwaye unomdla ongapheliyo. Baye baphathe ukuphatha izifo ngokuhleka. Abo banamhlanje babona umama ngethuba lokuqala bathi: "Yiza, akunako ukuba wayeneminyaka engamashumi asibhozo!" Umama ukhangeleka, kuba uhlala nomntandane wakhe ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Nguye yena-ukukhanya efestile. Yaye yena unamhlanje kuye - uDicchchka, onomthandi kunye nomhlobo. Umama uthanda kakhulu: yonke into ephathelele kulo mntu ingcwele kuye. Ukholelwa ukuba into ebalulekileyo ebomini kubantwana, abazali kunye nendoda. Ndahlala ndijonge kwaye ndacinga: Ndifuna enye intsapho!
Kwaye xa ndaqonda ukuba ndikhulelwe, ndagqiba ekubeni iphupha liphela. Ndiqinisekile ukuba uCyril uya kuvuya. Ndamxelela, kwaye nje ... yalala. Ekhohlo yedwa, ndatshutshiswa, ndifuna ukukhipha isisu. Kodwa umama wama:
"Akusisebenzisi ukuthatha umphefumlo!" Masikhule!
- Uhlala phi?
"Ndakuvusa wena wedwa, kwaye uya kuphakamisa umntwana wakho ezinyaweni zakho!" Masikuncede!
Ubaba akazange ahlawule i-alimony, akafumani nayiphi na umsebenzi osisigxina. Ewe, kunye nomama ekutyekisweni kwenzelwe i-theater ngaleso sikhathi. Maxa wambi ama-kopecks amahlanu ayengenakwanela ukuthenga ipiliti yeshukela, kwaye ndilinganiselwa ngamakhulu amane namashumi amahlanu amagremu. Ndandigqoke kakhulu. Kwisikolo esikhethekileyo saseFransi, iipesenti ezingamashumi asibhozo zaba "midi" abantwana, abazali babo bahamba phesheya, abazange bembethe iingubo zabanye, ngokungafani nam. Ngoko ndazi ukuba yintoni imfuneko. Kodwa emva kokuba isigqibo sokushiya umntwana sithathwe, ndakhawuleza kuba lula. Akukho iinyembezi kwi-pillow, akukho ntlungu.
Kwaye ukukhulelwa kwaba lula ngomdlali we-actress u-Love Rudenko, olwazi lwakhe luyaziwa kubo bonke abalandeli bakhe. Ndandwendwela ukuya eYugoslavia, eBulgaria, eLeningrad. Wahamba ngeenkwenkwezi ezimbini - "Akazange alinde, akazange aqikelele" kunye no "Vasily Buslaev." Kwangexesha elide akukho namnye wayesazi malunga 'nesithakazelo' kwimeko: Ndiziva ndiziva kakuhle.
Ukususela esibhedlele, ngaphezu koMama noLyova, Uthando lwalubuliswa ngumhlobo kaKenya ongcono kunye nomyeni wakhe uZhenya. U-Katya sachitha iminyaka elishumi kwideskiti enye kwaye sasiyintetho. UZhenya wayezenza ukuba nguyise. U-Nyanechka - iintyatyambo kunye nemvulophu ngemali, kwaye wamnika imvulophu enesandul 'ukuzalwa: "Tata, vuyisana!" Wadlala. Waphonsa ingubo: "Hayi, wena, mncinane wam!" Kwaye siyahleka! Ngoko, ndishiya esibhedlele, andizange ndifumane ubunzima bomfazi oyedwa kunye nomntwana. Bandithabatha ngetekisi ukuya emnyango, balayishwa kwaye bathi: "Ewe, sazalisekisa umsebenzi wethu. Ngoku masikhulise! "
Yaye yaqala: ukulala ubusuku, ukutya, ukuhlamba, ukuhamba. Isibonelelo si-ruble engamashumi amathathu anesihlanu - njengomama ongatshatanga. Imali yayingenakwanela, kwaye xa uTolik wayeneminyaka emibili ubudala, kwafuneka ndiqale ukusebenza kwindawo yokudlala. Indodana yam ishiya kunye nomama, udadewabo - Unina uGalya okanye abamelwane. Andizange ndidlale kakhulu, kodwa ndihlawulwe umvuzo opheleleyo-uGoncharov wayala. Ubomi buphuculwe.
Uninzi, inene, uvelwano: Uthando olulodwa nomntwana-kunzima! Ndathi: "Kutheni ndizisola? Incinci, iphilile, i-oh-hoo! Kwaye nabasimili ebomini baya kuba baninzi - bakhetha ukuhlupheka! "Kuyinto ekhohlakeleyo ngoku ukuba ukhumbule ukuzimela kwakho. Nangona kunjalo, kwakule mizuzu ndafumana "ilanga" lam. Ndithandana ngaphandle kwememori kwaye ndingenalo ithemba.
Ngenye ihlobo sasihamba ngetyelelo kunye nemidlalo. U-Olga Prokofieva wayengumhla wokuzalwa. Sifuna ukuyikhankanya, sathengisa iimveliso kwimarike. Kwaye akukho vodka kwiivenkile, kuphela kwindawo yokutyela - umthetho omile ezweni! Emva koko mna noOlga sagqiba isigqibo sokufumana isiselo kwindawo yokutyela. Siphila, siyalele ukuhlambalaza, kwaye phantsi kwetafile ngokucophelela sithululela i-vodka kwisibhotile esingenanto samanzi amaminerali, abawazisa nawo. Ngokukhawuleza umfana uyeza athi:
"Mantombazana, ndiyakwazi." Igama lam nguKolya. Ngesinye isikhathi "kwi-Mayakovka" wayesebenza. Kwaye nantsi enye inxaxheba kwihotele. Mhlawumbi ngokuhlwa siyakwazi ukuthetha?
Siphumelela ukuhleka
"Ungubani, mfana, uyasiphazamisa ibhizinisi ebalulekileyo?" Ungaboni, yintoni inqubo ephazamisayo?
Waqonda konke, wahleka:
- Lindela ukutyelela enye ibhotile yamanzi amaminerali.
Ngobusuku bakhaza kwigumbi.
Ndivula umnyango. Kwimeko, uKolya, kunye naye - indoda enhle kakhulu. Ndiyolulela isandla sam kuye, ndithi kuye. Kwaye sahlwaywa njengamanje kagesi. Simi ngokuthula, kwaye sijonge omnye nomnye. Abafana babehamba ngeenxa zonke, bechofoza iminwe yabo: "Asinakukukhathaza?"
Le ndoda yayingumntu oyedwa we-ensemble, sachitha ixesha lobusuku siyamhubela ngegitala ngamazwi amabini. Ukushiya, wathi inani legumbi ngomlomo wakhe. Ndabona ukuba ndiza kulala nobusuku. Ndixelela uOle: "Ndiyakucela! Ndiphe iingubo zakho ezimhlophe! "Ndandingumhlwempu, ndiyesaba ukuthetha. Kwaye ngoku ndiyidonsa kwi-jeans yeProkofieva kwaye uye kuye kuye yonke into enhle. Ndaya kwinani. Intliziyo yam iyaqhaqhazela, izandla zam ziyazama. Ndigoba. Umnyango uphenduka uvule - emngceleni uhamba ngamagqabi aqaqambileyo ebhakabhaka. Ngamafutshane, ijee ezihlakaniphile zazingavumi ...
Emva koko waphuma embhedeni waza wathabatha isithombe esesikhwameni sakhe. Ungowesifazane omhle kunye nabantwana.
Le yintsapho yam, andiyi kubashiya, uyaqonda? "
Ndazibopha.
"Andiyi kuthetha ilizwi kuwe." Kwaye andizange ndibeke ibango nantoni na. INkosi ininike imvakalelo enamandla - yintoni na umehluko owenza ngayo ixesha elide.
Ifowuni:
- Sawubona, Uthando? Sawubona, Ngokuqinisekileyo, awukhumbuli mna, izolo ndaya nawe ukuya kwinqanawa. Igama lam nguJanos. Ngaba sinokuhlangana?
Ndithi:
"Ndiyaxolisa, andiyiqondi into." Ungubani na?
Kwavela ukuba kumdlalo wokudlala wayenokubona igama letheyetha, waya apho waza wafumana umfanekiso wam kwi-foyer. Asizange sithethe. Kwakungekho mfuneko. Xa ehamba, ndanditshilo kuye. Akuzange kube nokuzisola, kungekho ntlungu. Ndazibekela ithuba lokuxhamla kwexesha elifutshane kwaye ndadlulisela ukwahlula kwethu. Kwakukho umntu ebomini bam - kwaye akayi kubakho.
Emva koko sadibana namaxesha ambalwa eMoscow kwiimeko ezithile. Wada waya kundibona nomfazi wakhe. Kwaye ndaye kwikontoni yakhe. Ndangena ehholo xa izibane sele zivaliwe. Andiyazi ukuba undibona njani. Ikhonsathi yonke ibhekise kwicala lam. Emva koko wathi: "Ndandikucula."
Ukususela kwikorithana saya kwenye imoto. Esihlalweni sokugqibela. Babamba izandla baze bathule. Akwazanga ukuthetha, sasingabodwa. Kwaye besithi kakhulu kakhulu omnye komnye ngoko-ngezandla.
Kwaye nguye nguye kuphela. Andizange ndive nomoya ololo hlobo, nangona ndandithandana kaninzi.
Ndavuma intlanganiso. Xa ndambona, ndandimangalisile-wayejonga malunga neshumi elinesibhozo ubudala. Ndibuza:
"Mfana, uneminyaka emingakanani?"
Uphendule.
"Njalo, nanjalo." Kwaye mna-amashumi amabini anesithathu, kwaye umntwana sele sele ekhona.
Kodwa akuzange kumsongele. Yaye loo nto yayithandana, andizange ndikulindele. Sadibana malunga nomnyaka, wenza ubungane noTorychka, baqala ukucinga ngomtshato. Inkundla yonke eyayazi ukuba ndineJanosh, yabuza: "Uya kutshata nini na?" Wadibana nam emva kokuqhuba. Ndaqhuba yonke indawo kwishishini lam emotweni yam. Abazali bakhe bamenywe kwiqela lesidlo sakusihlwa. Ndandicinga ukuba ndiyamthanda unina, kodwa nguye owamisa ubudlelwane bethu. Xa ndifumanisa ukuba ndinoonyana. UJanosh wafunda kwi-MGIMO, kwaye uthi: "Lyubochka, uJanosh unokuba nekamva eliqaqambileyo. Musa ukuyiphatha - unomntwana. "
- Kutheni unxamnye nalo? Emva koko, unesimo esifanayo.
Waphendula wathi:
"Yingakho, kungoko ..."
Kwaye ndaqonda ukuba akunamsebenzi ukulwa. Ndiza kuphazamisa ubomi bakhe - uya kundiphanga kunye noJanos.
Ndakhala kakhulu, ndahambahamba ngeefowuni, kodwa ixesha liphilisa. Kancinci ndathula. Kwaye uTol ubulela kule mpahla yafumana uyise.
Xa umhlobo wethu oqhelekileyo wabiza:
- Ukubulisa kuwe evela kuCyril, ufuna ukumbona umntwana.
Kuye ukuphefumula sele kuye kwandula ukuhlambalaza.
"Yileyo ndlela!" Uye wadlula ixesha lokungahlambululi kunye nobusuku bokulala, ngoku ungabona kwakhona unyana wakho?
"Musa ukuvuya!" Wayehluke kakhulu, kunye no-Masha, intombi yakhe emtshatweni wokuqala, uthetha.
Oku, ngokusobala, wandichukumisa. Iminyaka elineshumi yokungenabuthixo kwimemori yam ayikwazanga ukususwa nakwi-Levushka. Andizange ndifune loo nto ingumntwana wam. Umntwana udinga uyise. Ingakumbi le nkwenkwe: emva koko, akukho mbuzo wonke unokubhekiswa kumama.
Sadibana noCyril, sathetha. Mna, njenjalo, ndandithukuthele: yonke into ilungile kum, ndihlala ngokumangalisayo, isihlwele siyamkela, mhlawumbi ndiza kutshata ngokukhawuleza. Futhi uyaqhubeka ephindaphinda: wayemthanda kuphela kwaye ngoku ndiyamthanda. Ndixolele, bathi, wenza njalo ngenxa yolutsha, ngenxa yobulumko. Ndiphe unyana ukuba nibone. Kulungile, ndiyaphendula, kuphela ukuba nguyise - kungekhona ilizwi. Kwaye ngokukhawuleza uphinde upheleke, kodwa sinokuyenza ntoni? Akukho mfuneko yokonakalisa umntwana.
Masihambe kunye Nokwakheka kwi-kindergarten yasehlobo. Indodana yam yayineminyaka emine ubudala. UCyril noTolya bahamba ngesitimela esondelene. Ndijonge kubo: Nkosi, indlela efanayo! Ngokukhawuleza uTolya uyabuza: "Utata, uya kuza kum?" Emva koko, akukho mntu wamxelela ukuba uCyril wayengunina. Intliziyo yam yaqala ukuhlambalaza. Ndabona ukuba ngenxa yomntwana ndimele ndiqhube emqaleni weqhayiya lam. Malunga nam ngelo xesha ixesha elincinci kubo bonke ndicinga. Ndazi ukuba unyana wam wayedinga. Kwaye ndiza kuthi ...
Nangona, mhlawumbi, bekungeke kwenzeke kuthi, ukuba kwakungekho kumama kaCyril. UNina Pavlovna wayenomdlavuza. Siza kuye kunye, usinika izandla: "Wena, Kirill, emva kweenyanga ezintandathu, utshate Uthando. Ndithembise! "Wayeyazi ukuba wayefa, kwaye ukulila emva kokufa komntu othandekayo kuthatha iinyanga ezintandathu. Ngoko umbuzo womtshato wenziwa isigqibo ngokwawo.
Bobabini uCyril (umyeni kunye noninazala), xa babengenabhinqa, bathathwe. Ndayifaka imikhono yam kwaye sibeke izinto ngokulandelelana. Indlu yayiza kutshabalaliswa, iminyaka engamashumi amabini edlulileyo ayilungiswanga. I-oven ayizange ivalwe isitofu - yayixhaswe ngentonga ngentonga. Kwiikhabhinethi yekhitchini, abangazange baphile - zombini izimbungulu kunye neentshontsho. Kwakudingeka ukuba utshintshe i-sink ixesha elide. Isiqabetho sasihamba. I-plaster ekhanda yathululelwa.
Uthando lufumene umrhumo wokudubula, lwaya kwiimarike, lwathenga iphepha lodonga, isitenti, i-putty, ipende. Uncedise umdwebi wefayile, ukupenda iifestile kunye neebhetri, uthinte iileyili. Umkhwenyana uthele nje izandla zakhe: "Ewe, Uthando, umkhandi!"
Nguye ngokwenene umntu oyingcwele, ngoko nguyisezala, uKirill Grigorievich, imemori yakhe ecacileyo, wafa kutshanje. Ukuba kwakungekho kuye, mhlawumbi sasingayi kuhlala noCyril ixesha elide. Omkhulu wayemthanda ngaphandle kokukhumbula kwaye wandinceda kakhulu. Ndandisoloko ndifika ekhaya ngokukhawuleza, indoda yam yayisivele ibona iphupha leshumi, kwaye umkhwekazi wayelinde: "Uthando, uya kuba yintoni? Ndifake i-cauliflower oyithandayo. "
Emva koko uya kuthenga iintyatyambo egameni igama, ukufihla ebhaleni, kwaye kusasa sele sele etafileni: "Uthando, oku kuvela kuthi kuthi ngeKirill." Kwaye yonke imihla iyakunikela ngemali: "Zithengele kuwe okokufunayo."
Ndiyathuthunyiswa yinto engathandabuzekiyo yecala phambi kwakhe, kuba wafa kungekudala emva kwendoda yam kwaye sahlukana. Umkhwezala ugula ixesha elide, kodwa kubonakala ngathi wayevumelekile ukuba ashiye, xa engenabani, ukuba akukho nto yokubambisana. Ndahamba, uCyril waqala ukuhlala nomnye umfazi, uTolya - kunye nentombi yakhe. Wayengakhathazeki ngabani na.
Ngoko ubomi bam intsapho budlula phakathi kokufa ezimbini: umamazala nomkhwezala. Yimangalisa ngabantu. UNina Pavlovna wayephethe iSebe kwipolyclinic yabantwana. Ukususela ekuseni kuze kube sebusuku wayephatha abantwana kwaye, ngaphandle kwebhokisi yeekeseksi, umvuzo omncinci kunye nokukhathala okukhulu, akukho nto. Umkhwekazi wasebenze bonke ubomi bakhe kwinqanaba lophando lwezenzululwazi oluvaliweyo njengenjineli yombutho, esongamela iqela elikhulu. Emva kokuthatha umhlalaphantsi, wandinceda ngendoda, ndithenga ukutya, ndawapheka kakuhle. Akuyena indoda eyakwenzayo, kodwa uyise womthetho. Emva kokuba sathetha naye. Ndibuza:
"Kutheni uCyril akakho?"
Uthi, "nyana, ndithandwa, uphangiwe ... Umele umxolele."
Ngoku ndiyazikhupha. Ngaba ubuya kuba yingqiqo-ukuxhamla kwe-pomerila yezoqoqosho. Ndiza kunika uCyril ithuba lokuzibonakalisa njengomntu. Ndandilila ehlombe lam, bathi, ukuba akunjalo wena, ngubani na? Kwaye ndithatha yonke into esandleni sam. Akazange abe nemfuneko yokunyamekela intsapho.
Akukho ukukhanya, kwakusasa kuvuka, wayepheka isidlo sakusihlwa, wayidla uThosh, wawayisa egadi, kwaye kamva waya esikolweni, wagijima waya kwiivenkile, wapheka isidlo sasemini waza waya kwindlela yokubuyisa. Ukusuka apho ndakhawuleza ukuthabatha uTolya ekhaya, ndondla, ndinikela umkhulu wam ezandleni zam, ndaza ndahamba ndaza ndaza ndahamba. Ndabuyela ebusuku - kwaye ndandingazange ndive ndikhathele. Uvuyayo, uyavuya: konke kulungile kum! Umntwana wam wakhula kunye noyise kunye nomkhulu wakhe, kwaye okubaluleke ngakumbi, akukho nto kum. UKirill kunye nendodana yakhe bachithe ixesha elininzi banceda ngezifundo, kwaye babehlala bephethe imixholo kunye nezinto ezithandayo. Ndandicinga ngamanye amaxesha: mbulela uThixo ukuba ndibe ndikhulelwe. Naluphi na abelethayo, i-hectic?
Ngamafutshane, indima yomfazi onolonwabo, ndadlala kakhulu. UCyril wazama uwonke-wonke ukuba amkele, amanga aze athi ukuba uyayithanda kangakanani. Abahlobo bam babenomona. Akukho mntu wayikrokrela ukuba lo bomi bendibiza ntoni. Ndingumpheki, ucocekileyo, umfazi ohlambulukileyo, umatshini wokwenza imali, kodwa kungengowesifazane, intanda yam, yedwa, ndiyifunayo. Ebudeni obusondeleyo, mna nomyeni wam sasinokuba, sinobubele, asiyonto yonke, kodwa ndade ndacinga ngayo. Iminyaka engamashumi amane uyayiqonda indlela le nto ebalulekileyo ngayo ubudlelwane kubalulekile, kwaye ulutsha lunyamekela kuphela, ukuze kungabikho mntu unokuva nantoni ngeendonga. Ewe, kwaye ndikhathele kakhulu.
