Omnye kufuneka ahambe e-Uzhgorod ukulungisa imeko. Ngaba ndimele ndithumele abafazi abakhulelweyo ku-Iru? Okanye u-Ivan Afanasevich, ngubani okhoyo, unamathela kunyaka? Kwaye uyazi ukuba abathengi. Ngoko, u-Igor, uyaqonda ... "- watsho umphathi, kwaye ndaqonda ukuba ukusuka kwintengiso ndingakwazi ukuhamba. Kulungile, ekubeni imeko ayikwazi ukutshintshwa, ngoko, kufuneka senze ubuncinane. Ndiya kujonga eTranscarpathia, kodwa ngelo xesha ndikhangeleka njengevenkile yendawo kwaye ndithenga i-Ole isipho soNyaka omtsha. Ndisombulula ingxaki kubathengi kwiintsuku ezimbini. Enye imini esetyenziselwa ukuthenga iintengiso-kwaye kungeyonto yento: uthenge iindandatho ezimangalisayo kwi-Olenka. Akuncinci - wamnika malunga namawaka amabini ama-hryvnia (phantse yonke imali eyayinayo). Ndithatha ngamabomu inxalenye enkulu ye-stash ngaphandle kwendlu, kuba bekuyimfuneko ukuthenga isipho kungekhona nje intombazana endiyithandayo, kodwa ngenxa yomtshakazi. Enyanisweni, wayengazi malunga nayo okwamanje. Ndiya kumenza umnikelo kwi-Eve yeNtsha entsha, kwaye ngenxa yezi njongo isipho esilungileyo kunokuba ungenakucinga nje. Ukuphuma ngaphandle kweevenkile zeevenkile, ndabala imali eyishiywe kwisikhwama. Ewe-ah ... Masithi nje, kungekhona. Okwaneleyo ukwanele ukuya kwisikhululo se-Uzhgorod, uthenge ii-pie endleleni, uthathe iiglasi ezimbalwa ukusuka kumqhubi weeyi ... Eyona ndlela, ukuba uhambe ukusuka kwisitishi ukuya endlwini eKharkov. Kwakukho ishumi elingaba nelinye ... Ndamthiya nge "NZ" kwaye ndabeka bucala kuye yonke imali ephaketheni elingaphakathi kwengubo. Isitimela sam esivela e-Uzhgorod saya ku-1:25, saza safika eKharkov ngo-4:23. Oku kuthetha ukuba ndimele ndichithe ngaphezu kwelanga kwigumbi kunye nabantu abangaziwayo (kulungile ukuba ndathatha ithikithi lokubuyela kwangaphambili).
Abahamba nabo bahamba nabo baba yintsapho yase-Adams yaseklasini: isibini esitshatileyo esinezingane ezimbini ezincinci kunye nentombazana ekhulile (njengokuba ngokukhawuleza yacaca-unina womfazi). Omnye umntwana wayeneminyaka emibili ubudala, owesibini wayengumntwana. Abantwana abazange bavumele ukuba unina nogogo baxakeke, kwaye uyise wayedla ngokugqithiseleyo ubhiya kwiimbiza ezingenakubalwa, okanye ekhongwe kwi-shelf phezulu. Ngokuqhelekileyo, ininzi yosuku endiyichitha kwi-vestibule. Kwaye kuyintoni na ukuyenza? Okanye efasiteleni ukujonga, okanye ukutshaya, okanye ukudibanisa okulungileyo kunye luncedo. Ndidibene. Ekugqibeleni, esikhundleni somgangatho wakhe wemihla ngemihla wayicima phantse kabini. Emva kokuba sihambe nge-Kiev, "intsapho yaseAdams" yangena kwisigaba esitsha: wonke umntu wayememeza ngoku. Kwaye intloko yentsapho yezinyembezi ukusuka kwipherki yakhe kunye nokugembula inqalekiso kunye noninazala. Ndandiziva ngathi ndingumphambukeli kule holide yokuphila kwaye ndaphinda ndathatha umhlala-phantsi. Ngelo xesha ndifumanisa ukuba kwakukho igareyi elilodwa kuphela elishiye epakethe. Ndaya kumqhubi: "Ntombazana, ndixelele, nini na isiteshini esilandelayo?" Umqhubi, ekhangela ngenyameko esuka kwiphephancwadi elimnyama, wabukela umlindo wakhe: "Kwimizuzu engamashumi amabini anamibini."
- Yaye sinokuma phi?
Imizuzu elishumi elinesibhozo ... "Ewe," ndacinga, "ixesha elide. Ndiza kuba nexesha lokungena kwiqonga, uthenge ipakethi yeegereyi kwaye, ngaphandle kokukhawuleza, buyela. "
Ndabona i- kiosk ekhanyayo ivela kwiwindow yebhubhane-kwakukude ukusuka kwisakhiwo sesitishi. Ephantse kwesola kwakukho umgca omncinane - abantu abahlanu. Ukunyuka, ndaqhotyoshela umsila ngentombazana encinci, leyo, ngokubanzi, yayidlalele elalilinikweni yakhe kwaye ibona iphupha elimashumi amathathu ... Enyanisweni, ukukhonza abantu abahlanu kungekhona ngesisindo ngumcimbi wemizuzu embalwa. Kodwa umthengisi kwi-kiosk, ngokusobala, wayeyisithulu nesisithulu. Ukuphendula kwakungekho nje ngokukhawuleza, kodwa kungekho ngokupheleleyo. Ukongeza, wayengazi nantoni na apho wayenalo okanye loo mveliso, kwaye wayengazi ukubala. Kumntu ohlala kwiqapu le-musket, othe wathatha ibhotile yobhiya, wabala utshintsho ubuncinane emibini imizuzu. Ngaloo xesha ujikeleza ebhokisini kunye noshintsho oluncinci kwaye ufuna iibhotile zebhiya elungileyo. Ngaphambi kwam ndimi ezimbini, kwaye iwashi ibonakele kakade 22:28. Emva kwemizuzu engama-6, isitimela kufuneka sitshintshwe, kwaye kusadingeka ndibalekele emotweni yam.
"Ntombazana," ndathi ngendoda ngokuthobeka ngendoda ekhanda lami, "ngaba ungandikhumbula?" Kwaye ndiya kuphinda ndilahlekelwe isitimela ... Intombazana, ngokukhawuleza, ihambe eceleni, ndivumele ukuba ndiqhubeke.
Ndandisoloko ndihambela kude kwi-kiosk kunye nepakethi yokukhwabanisa egazini lam, xa ngokukhawuleza ilizwi elibhincayo livale ngasemva: "Kutheni unqamle ngaphandle komgca?"
"Kwaye sikhubazekile," umlimi ophuzayo wayedla, kwaye okwesibini, kunye nelizwi elidakayo, wongezelela esithi: "Tsyts, shmakodyavka!"
Intombazana leyo yathi, "Yidlule, yintlanzi," ndiya kuthi, "Ndiza kuba nesitimela sombane kungekudala."
"Musa ukukhawuleza ... Ngoku siza kuba ngcono kunye nabazalwana, kwaye uya ku-dessert kuthi ..."
"Thatha i-paws yakho, ibhokhwe!" Abantu! Uncedo! "Musa nje ukuphazamisa, akukho nto yezoshishino lakho," ilizwi lathi ngokukhawuleza, nangona lukhulu. "Kakade, kungekhona yam. Andiyi kuphazamisa, "Ndavumelene ngokupheleleyo nelizwi, kodwa ngenxa yezizathu ezithile, ukujika ngokukhawuleza, ndamemeza:" Hayi, bafana! Ewe, shiya le ntombazana! "
Andifanga, kwaye kwi-duel efanelekileyo kunye naluphi na uqu-zintathu ubuya kuhlangabezana nayo ubunzima. Mhlawumbi uya kumelana nezo zibini. Kodwa abathathu abantu abancinciweyo abanxilwayo babeninzi kum. Imizuzu embalwa igcinwe, kodwa ke uhlaselwe entloko kwaye "uhambe." Ke kaloku, ekufikeni kwakhe, akazange aqonde apho ndaye khona.
- Ewe, loo nto yafika kum - intombazana yayigubha phezu kwam.
"Mmm," ndathetha ngokukhawuleza, ndiyichukumise intloko kwaye ke, ngokukrakra, ndagxotha isandla sam kude. Khangela, bawabetha intloko, abazange bawenze? "
- Nope. Kuphela i-cone iphilile.
"Kutheni kumanzi apho?" - wamangaliswa.
- Ndibeka ikhephu apho.
"Wayephi na?" Ndathetha, ndizama ukuhlala.
Intombazana leyo yathi: "Umthengisi wandivumela ukuba ndixube ndawonye efrijini." "Ndingakunceda njani?"
"Phuza kakhulu ho ... kwaye lixesha lini na?"
"Ngamashumi amabini aneshumi elinanye." Ngokuchanekileyo, sele ingenashumi elinesixhenxe ...
"Ngaphandle kweshumi elinesixhenxe ..." Ndaphinda ndingazicabangi, ndazihlamba. "Kunjani ngaphandle kwesixhenxe?" Kwaye uqeqesho lwam?
"Yiloo ndlela." Uya kuphi na?
- Kharkov ...
- Lapha ukudlula izitimela kuya kumkhiwane. Kwinto ethile, ewe uya kushiya. Ukugqithisa, waya kwiirejista zemali kwaye ndaza ndaqhekeza ukukhupha okubandayo. Yajika kwintombazana:
"Khangela, mboleka imali ithikithi ..."
- Ndineempawu ezimbini kuphela.
"Thixo wam, uqale phi ekhanda lam?" Ndatsho ngomsindo.
"Ngendlela, andizange ndikucele ukuba undisindise," wagxininisa.
"Kutheni ungazange ucele?" - Ndandithukuthela. - Ngubani owamemeza esithi: "Bantu, ncedeni!"?
"Uxolo," uthe uxolo. - Ukunyaniseka, andizange ndikulindele ukuba ungene ekulweni.
Abagibeli beThuthi kwiimeko ezinjalo abaphazamisi - bayesaba ukuba isitimela silahleke. Yonke into engaphambi koNyaka omtsha (ayinakunyulwa ukuba uNyaka omtsha) ifikelele kwii-tartaras, ngoko andizange ndivumele intombazana ibe nomsindo.
- Ndandicishe ndatshitshiswa ngenxa yakho, kwaye awuzange ukhulume nangombulelo. Okanye ngaba ulapha zonke izinto ezinjalo ezingaziwa?
Intombazana yathi, "Ndiyabulela, kodwa andisayi ndawo." Ekufuphi apha ndihlala, esitimeleni akukho nto iya kuhamba. Kwaye wafika ukusebenza.
- Kwenzeka njani, emsebenzini? - Ndandimangaliswe ngokwenene. "Uneminyaka emingakanani?"
Izalithoba elinesi-19 izalisekile.
"Ukhangeleka njengesi-13," ndavuma. - Ndiyazazi ukuba sele uneminyaka yobudala, kungekho nantoni na ...
"Kutheni uyeke ukuthetha?" Intombazana yambuza ngokuhlekisa. "Okanye ufuna ukuba ndiqhubeke nawe?" Nceda. Ukuba wayesazi ukuba ndandineminyaka yobudala, andiyikukhathazeka ukuba ndikhusele. U kunene?
"Ndiphosakele," ndathetha. - Musa ukucaphuka. Kodwa ke ukhangeleka unobutsha.
"Kuphela nje ukuba ndinomkhwa wezingane." Intombazana yayibetha isimbolo esilumkileyo seendlebe kwiindlebe ezinde kwaye yongezwa ngumngeni: "Kodwa ndiyayithanda."
"Nam," ndakhawuleza ukumqinisekisa. - Ikhuphe epholile ...
Ndaye ndazama ukufumana indlela yokuphuma kwimeko leyo, kodwa, ukunyaniseka, bekungekho naluphi na ukhetho. Ngenathemba ngokupheleleyo! Ngokukhawuleza kwenzeka ingcinga.
Ndathi kwintombazana, "Mamela, unayo imali ekhaya?"
"I-hryvnia engamashumi amahlanu ..." waphendula emva kwexesha elide kakhulu.
"Yimboleke, huh?" Ndifunga, ngokukhawuleza ukuba ndibuyele ekhaya, ndiya kukuthumela ngokutshintshwa kwangoko. Ngomdla. Uyabona, ndiza kusasa
kuba eKharkov. Kuba kum umcimbi wobomi nokufa.
"Ulindele intombazana, kunjalo?"
Ndazibophezela kwaye nje xa kunamandla:
- Akunjalo nje intombazana - umtshakazi. Intombazana yayicinga, iguqa ubuso bayo-ubude, imizuzu emithathu, engaphantsi. Le mizuzu yabonakala kum ngonaphakade. Kodwa ke intloko yakhe yahlulwa - ngokucacileyo, wenza isigqibo:
- Kulungile. Ndiza kunika ama-kopecks amahlanu. Uya kubuya kakhulu. Yiza ngokukhawuleza, ngoku uqeqesho lwam kufuneka lufike.
Imoto yayingenanto. Sasihlala eduze komnye nomnye kwaye sathula ngaphandle kweefestile. Andiyazi into yokuba umhlobo wam wayecinga ngayo, kodwa ndicinga ukuba ngomso nguNyaka Omtsha, kodwa akukho nekhephu. Lowo owawa ngasekuqaleni kweDisemba, uye wahlala enyibilika ngexesha lokuqhaqhazela, kodwa ngoku sele ushaya iqabunga kwakhona, kodwa akukho nekhephu kukho konke. Kubanda, kungcolile kwaye kubuhlungu. Emva koko ndacinga ukuba siyazi le ntombazana malunga neyure, kodwa andisazi igama lakhe. Yaye yena-wam.
- Ngendlela, igama lam nguGigor. Nawe?
- Awuyi kuhleka?
- Ukunyaniseka, andiyi kuyenza!
"Igama lam ngu-Evdokia."
- Yiyiphi intle! - ndiyamthanda.
"Utshitshisa ..." udwebe.
"Akunjalo." Unalo igama elihle.
- kwaye ndihlazeka ngaye. Uninzi lwazo zonke, ndizazisa njengoDasha.
"Ngoko ungumqambimanga, akunjalo?"
"Ngamanye amaxesha," uDunya wahleka ephendula, kodwa ke, ecinywa ngxolo, wabubula: "Okwangoku, ugogo uya kuxoka ukuba angandicingi ukuba ndibuyele ngokukhawuleza."
"Kwaye ngokwenene, kutheni uhlale ixesha elide?" Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba udliwano-ndlebe lwaye lwabambezeleka kwada kwaze kwaba ngentsuku?
- Hayi, ndandula ndahlala kumhlobo. Kwaye udliwano-ndlebe lwaphela ngokukhawuleza. Ndazama ukufumana umsebenzi njengomsebenzi wekhomishoni kwiofisi yokutshintshiselana, kodwa abazange bathethe nangoko - ndatsho ngokukhawuleza ukuba andifanelekanga, kuba andiyazi ikhompyutha.
- Benza ntoni abazali bakho? - Ndabuza nje ngaleyo ndlela.
- Akunjalo. Andizange ndibazi ubaba, kwaye umama wafa iminyaka emine edlulileyo.
"Uxolo ..."
- Yintoni yokuxolisa? Awukwazi ...
"Ngoko uhlala kunye nogogo?"
- Ewe. Ndiyinto enhle. Nguye kuphela obona kakhulu. Omdala usele.
- Lindela, - ndibetha ngokukhawuleza ngogesi wamandla, - kwaye le nto idalance engamashumi amahlanu, wandithembise ntoni ukuba ndiboleke?
Ngaba le yimali yokugqibela? Kuphela, chur, musa ukuxoka! "Ewe," wagubha uDounia, "wokugqibela." Kodwa umhlalaphantsi wesithathu we-Grandma, siya kubamba ngandlela-thile. Sinamazambane ethu, i-pickles ... Masi ...
- Ngoko, ngomso nguMnyaka omtsha!
"Hayi," watsho ngokungekho nto, "uNyaka omtsha." Ngoko ke ndicinga ngexesha elide, kukunika imali okanye kungekhona. Ndiya kuthenga le ngqungquthela ye-champagne ama-dollar angamashumi amahlanu, i-sausages encinci, iiskese.
Ndithi, "Andiyi kuthatha," ndathi ngokuqinisekileyo, kwaye ndingazange ndilindele ukuphikisa, ndabuza: "Ngaba unayo ifayile yokuguqulela?"
- Kukhona. Kukho intombi yam isebenza.
- Ndiya kuhlawulisa kuphela umthwalo, ndiya kubiza ngokukhawuleza, ndiya kucela imali ukuba ithunyelwe. Kodwa akuyi kuba kude kusasa. Hlala ubuncinci ixesha elithile, akunjalo?
UDunya wamomotheka waza wagxuma.
Saphuma esiteshini esincinci.
"Siya khona," kusho uMhlaba, waza wabuyela kwisitrato esingaqhelekanga. Bahamba ngemitha engamashumi amahlanu baza bazingcwaba endlwini encinci, apho iwindow kuphela eyakhanyisa.
"Mntanami, andiye ndedwa," uMhlaba uthe ngelizwi lokungena kwethu endlwini.
Ingaba nguyena mfana wakho? Wabuza umfazi omdala oneminyaka engamashumi asibhozo.
"Umgibeli, ungemva kwesitimela." Uhlala nathi, ulungile?
"Uhlala, oko kuthetha ... ndiyabona." Wena, uEvdokia, awukwazi ukutshintshwa!
Ngaba uhlala uzisa iindwendwe? - Ndandixela intombazana, ndiziva ndingenakuqondakala into yokuba ndikhwele. Ugogo kaDunin akazange abone kakuhle, kodwa i-rumor yakhe yaba yinto ebalulekileyo.
"Ngokuqhelekileyo ..." uhleka. "Akunakuhle nje ngokuba kuhle kuwe." Emva koko i-puppy yomntu ogulayo iya kuhola, ngoko i-galchonka nephiko eliphukile ...
"Musani ukoyika," ndandithuthuzela ngokuhlazeka.
- kwaye andiyiki. I-Duska yokutshitshisa umntu endlwini ayiyi kuvumela ukuba ihambe-inempumlo ekhethekileyo kubo. Kwaye ukususela oko, ukuthetha okulungileyo. Kulungile, ekubeni wonke umntu uphila kwaye kakuhle, ndiya kulala, kwaye wena, mzukulu, sondla isivakashi sakho. Yaye uyicula. Ndenza iitapile, thabatha i-sauerkraut ...
UDunya wandibeka kwigumbi elincinci elincinci phezu kwebhedi ephakamileyo kunye neentsiba eziphambili: oku ndilele kuphela ebuntwaneni bam, kwidolophana nogogo. Wayelala embhedeni - walala ngokukhawuleza njengomntu ofileyo. Kwaye ndandingamangalanga amaphupha amnandi ebusuku. Ngentsasa ndabona ukuba ibhetri kwisefowuni sele isele ihlawulwe (ipayipi yayindala, inkqubo yahlala ixesha elide) kwaye yabizwa inombolo ye-Olin. Waphendula ngokukhawuleza waza wamemeza wathi: "Uphi na? Ndikubizayo ukususela nge sixhenxe ekuseni. Sasiya kuthengwa kwaye isihlahla seKrismesi sasingathengi okwamanje. Kwaye ndineenwele zeloni kwihafu yesibini ehambayo ... "
"Ol, kukho into enjalo ..." yamphazamisa. - Ndashiya isitimela izolo ndaza ndamathela kwisikhululo esinokulibalelwa nguThixo. Izinto ezihlala kwigumbi lihlala, imali - ayikho ipenki.
Ungandithumela iikhulu ezingama-200?
- Ngaba uya kuhlangabeza uNyaka Omtsha apho?
- Andikho enye indlela yokuphuma.
- Ulala phi na? Ubuzwa u-Olya ngesohlwayo. "Kwisikhululo?"
- Hayi, le ntombazana inikwe indawo yokuhlala yendawo, - ndaphendula ngokunyanisekileyo. Ndaqonda,
ukuba akudingeki ukuba uthethe inyaniso, kodwa ushilo. U-Dunya wathinteka ngokunyanisekileyo ngokunyaniseka ... "Njengoko ndiyayiqonda, ungumtshitshisi omkhulu wobuchule bukaRyazanov," watsho u-Olya ngobubi. - Nangu wena kunye "Isikhululo Sesibili", kunye ne "Irony of Future". Amaqhawe kaRyazanov kuphela awanikela abalimi ithikithi imali. Lapha kwi-passion yakho kwaye ubuze ...
Ukukhawula okufutshane kufakwe kwi-receiver.
Ukububula kakhulu, ndambiza umhlobo wam waza wachaza ngokufutshane imeko.
- Ngoku ndiya kuthumela imali, - uDenis wathembisa. - Buza umntu, ungathumela ukuguqulelwa apho nge-imeyile?
"Hayi, kuphela nge-telegraph."
- Ngomso kusuku kusuku. Imali kwisona esona sesibini esona siza kuyifumana. Mamela, mhlawumbi, ukuba uze? Ngaphambi koNyaka omtsha siya kuba nexesha lokubuyela ... "Yiyo isisombululo seengxaki zonke," ilizwi langaphakathi livuya.
Ngelo xesha, ihlabathi lafika kwigumbi. Ndimomotheka kuye ndathi kummkeli:
Ndiyabulela, ndoda endala, musa ... "
"Ladushki," uDenis wagubha ngokukhululeka. - Misela idilesi kunye nenombolo yeposi yeposi ...
"Myalelo," ndazisa uDunyasha. "Owesibini kufuneka athathe imali." Ngaba uza kufumana olunye usuku?
Iintama zeentombazana zitsho zibomvu:
- Ndiya phi, ndingenamakhaya, ukuya ... andiyiqondi isizathu sokuba ndibe nomoya onjalo. Wayexabana no-Olga, wayebambelele kwisikhululo sikhulu (ubuncinane iintsuku ezimbini), kodwa kwakunjalo entliziyweni yakhe ukuba wayefuna ukucula. Imimangaliso, kwaye kuphela!
Ngeli-10 kusihlwa sasihlala etafileni. Ngokuqinisekileyo yaba yinto yokuzonwabisa: isitya esinamazambane ezinqabileyo, i-pie enkulu kunye neklabishi, i-honey agarics, iitamatisi ezinamathanga, iinqununu zetermelon, i-apula etywebileyo, i-sprats kwidilesi yesilivere kunye nemigqomo evulekileyo. UDunyasha waguquka waba ngumgca omhlophe omhlophe, wabophela intsimbi ekhanyayo phezu kwentloko yakhe kwaye * ibonakala njenge-Snow Maiden. Xa izandla zewashi zaqala ukusondela kubalishumi elinambini, uDunya ngokukhawuleza wagijima etafuleni waza wabaleka kwelinye igumbi. Wabuyela ngeepensele kunye nencwadana. Ndaqhawula amaphepha amathathu ahlambulukileyo, ndawabeka phambi komntu wonke: "Ndifuna ukubhala isifiso ..." Ugogo uKlava, egqoke iziglasi zakhe, waqala ukubhala into ethile, ngokunyanisekileyo, njengomgcini wokuqala. U-Dunyasha waguqa phezu kweqabana layo elincinci. Ndifuna ukwenza uxolo kunye no-Olya, "ndawubhala, kodwa ... inye inyanzelekile ukuba ndiphule iqabunga ngenqweno. "Ndifuna ukukhuthazwa." Kodwa olu khetho ngesizathu esithile aluhambisani nam.
Ukubeka iphepha kwi-pocket yakhe , wathabatha elinye iphepha kwi-notebook: "Ndifuna ukuba iqhwa." "Ewe, kukulungele," ndathi, ukulupha iphepha eliphindwe kane. "Kwaye ndimele ndenze ntoni naye ngoku?" Ukutya?
"Mfihla," uMhlabathi waphendula, "kwindawo ethile kufuphi nentliziyo." Yaye unxibe kude kube nomnqweno uzalisekile. Kwaye ungayiphosa.
- Ngaba iya kuzaliseka? Ndimomotheka.
"Kumele ukuba kuzaliseke, kuba namhlanje unyaka omtsha," uDunyasha uthetha ngokubaluleka. UMongameli wagqiba intetho yentetho yokubongela, iwashi yaqala ukubetha ukubetha. Ndavula i-champagne.
"Unyaka omtsha onoyolo," kutsho uDunya. Unyaka omtsha onoyolo, "ndaphendula, ndikhangele emehlweni akhe.
Unyaka omtsha ovuyokileyo, abantwana, "watsho ugogo kaKlava, wagqiba i-champagne waza walala.
Xa ndivuka ekuseni, abemi bendlu abazange baphinde balale. Ugogo wayebukele (ngokuchanekileyo, ukuphulaphula) iTV, uDunyasha wabeka iiglasi kwi-sideboard. Ndadla i-pie kwaye ndahlala phantsi komfazi omdala. Wazenza ngathi ndikhangele kwesikrini, kwaye wayekhangela le ntombazana. "Ziziphi izandla ezintle ayenayo," ngokukhawuleza ndacinga, "kwaye luhlobo luni lokuhamba okuhambayo ... Kwaye kutheni kubonakale kum kumhlangano wokuqala nentombazelwano, intombazana enomdla? Kuye kwenzeka ukuba idada elibi liye lakwazi ukujika ... "" Ngaba uvele ushiya uphahla? Ilizwi elikrakra elingaphakathi. -Kanjalo nam, i-princess ifumane. Intombazana yephondo eqhelekileyo. Kwaye ngokubanzi, uya kushiya ngomso uze ungaze ubone kwakhona. " "Ngomso ndiya kuhamba," ndivumelene nelizwi. "Ndiza ku-Olya, ndiza kumnika indandatho (kuhle ukuba yashiywe kwijakethi, kwaye ayizange ihambe kunye nepottoliyo yami ukuya kwiKharkov), ndiya kwenza umnikelo, kwaye siza kuhlala naye kwaye wenze imali kakuhle.
Yaye le ntombazana ezukileyo iya kuhlala iyinkumbulo enhle. "
"Masiye kwiofisi yeposi," ihlabathi yaphakamisa ngokukhawuleza, xa iwashi yayingama-amane. "Mhlawumbi uguqulelo lwakho selufikile."
- Ngaloo mini usuku lokuphuma!
"Ndixelele ukuba uLyuba wayeyintombi yam," uDunya wamangaliswa ngenxa yokuntula okucacileyo. - Wathembisa ngokuthe ngqo ukuza kubona ... Ndiyambulela uLyuba onesihawu kwaye wafaka i-hryvnia engamakhulu amathathu kwisikhwama sakhe, wahamba waya kwisitishi. UDunya wayehamba ngokuthula. Ndathengela ithikithi eKharkov ngokukhawuleza. Ndayifaka ephaketheni lam kwaye ndayibona le ntombazana. Ndandiqonda ukuba kwakufuneka ndithethe into ethile, kodwa, njengenhlanhla yayiya kuba nayo, amagama asemthethweni kuphela ayeza kuhamba entloko yam, kwaye eziyimfuneko, ngokuchaseneyo, zaphuphuma kwindawo ethile. UDunyasha wathintela ingubo yakhe ngesithintelo:
"Iiyure ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba uqeqeshe ... Uya kungena kunye nogogo ukuba uthethe?"
Ndazibopha. Endleleni, ndaya kwivenkile ndaza ndithenga ukutya okulungileyo kunakho. Amawaka amabini amawaka. Ukugxeka into engalunganga, uDunya wabuza:
- Nguwe ngokwakho okanye ...
"Okanye ..." kwafuneka ndiphendule.
"Inkulu kunye nam asiyizikhonkwane!"
- Umama uthi: awukwazi ukuyithatha xa uyinika inceba okanye ngaphandle kwenzalo. Yaye xa uvela entliziyweni entliziyweni ... Kwaye ngokubanzi, akunjalo kuwe, kodwa u-Grandma Klava. UDunyasha waya kundithumela esiteshini. Sasihlala ebhentshini, bobabini babengazi ukuba bathethe ntoni, njani ukuthetha. Ekude isitimela sibonakala. Kwaye kwangoko intombazana yathi: "Nditshitshise, nceda ..." Ukumkela uDunya, wamfumana imilomo efudumeleyo. Uthi, "Hamba," undigxotha kum, "mhlawumbi uya kuphinda ufike emva koko."
Kwaye ndagijima ngasecaleni . U-Dunya uyandilandela. Ukukhupha umqhubi wetikiti zakhe zeemoto kwaye ugxume kwisinyathelo, waphenduka waza wabona ... I-Dunya-tire eyes. Kwakukho kuloo mehlo, andinakukwazi ukuthetha, kuphela ukuba ndabona apho ukuba ... ndaguqa phantsi, ndithatha intombazana phantsi kwam, ndayifaka kwi-bandwagon.
- Kuphi? Umqhubi wamemeza ngokukrakra. "Ngaba unayo ithikithi?"
"Ndiya ku-esiteshini esilandelayo,
- wancenga uDunyasha.
"Ndiya kulihlawula," ndathembisa.
"Siza kuma ebaleni," sathi kunye noDunya kwi-chorus.
"Akuyiyo yindiza, yindoda ephosa," umqhubi wachaza, wangena emotweni, wavala umnyango emva kwakhe. Kwaye sasihlala kuloo ndawo. Bekumi, bephethe izandla, kwaye bajonga omnye nomnye. Ndakhangela nje.
"Uya kubuya njani?" Ekugqibeleni ndaphula uxolo.
- Ngohlobo loliwe. Zizo kuphela izitimela ezisheshayo ... musa ukuyeka yonke indawo. - UDunya wavula umnyango waza wamemeza kumqhubi: - Ndixelele, nceda, yintoni isiteshini esilandelayo?
Wathutha into engabonakaliyo.
- Yintoni? UDunyasha wabuza kum. "Andizange ndive."
"Isikhululo esilandelayo sithando," ndaphendula, kwaye thina bobabini sibonakala ngathi akukho mbandela. Emva koko ndafaka ingcongolo eminwe yentombazana, ndathengwa e-Uzhgorod, ndamanga kwakhona.
"Andizange ndicinge ukuba kunjalo," uDunyasha wagubha ngokunyanisekileyo, ebeka intloko ehlombe lam, wabuya waphuma iphepha eliputswe ngasemva kwesifuba sakhe waza waliqhawula.
- Ungubani? - ndamangaliswa. "Ngoku ke umnqweno wakho awuyi kuzaliseka."
"Sekunelisekile ..."
Kwaye emva kwefestile iifutha ezinkulu ezithambileyo zathululela zaza zawa ikhephu.
