Ngobudlelwane bethu ixesha elide yonke into yayingakulungi, nangona kunjalo, ukuqhawula umtshato kwaba yintlekele kum. Ndatshatile eneminyaka engamashumi amabini kwaye ukususela ngelo xesha ndahlala ndiziva ngathi ndingumyeni. Kwaye ngoku? Hayi, ndingazi ukuba ndingahlala ndedwa, ndibuyele kwindlu engenanto, ndilale yedwa kwiibhedi ephindwe kabini ... Kwiinyanga eziliqela ndihlupheke kakhulu.

Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezilandelayo, ndacinga isizathu sokuba ndibize: Ndandifuna ukumva kwakhona isithintelo esithambileyo kwakhona. Ndathi, "Uyi-idiot," ndazixelela. "Ufuna ntoni kuye?" Ufuna ukufezekisa ntoni na? "Kwaye akafumananga iimpendulo kwimibuzo yakhe. Kodwa eyona nto yayingakumbi kukuba andinakukwazi ukugxininisa nantoni na.
Ekugqibeleni kwakubonakala ukuba isizathu esifanelekileyo sokufowunelwa safunyanwa. Kodwa andizange ndibize oogxa bam. Ukushiya iofisi, wabiza inombolo yakhe.
- Ewe? Nguwe kwakhona? - Ndandiphulaphulephula ilizwi lakhe kwaye ndaziva ukuba, mbulela uThixo, akazange acasulwe.
Uthi, "Ndixolele, kodwa ndafika ingcamango."
"Ndiyathemba ukuba awufuni ukundibona," wahleka. - Namhlanje unyaka omtsha, umfazi wakho akayi kukuxolela.

"Ndibuhlungu," ndathi, ndididekile.
"Ewe ... Hamba," watsho ngokukhawuleza waza wangena endaweni yamkeli, kwaye ngokukhawuleza ndaziva ndizisola kakhulu. ...
U-Eva wonyaka omtsha wayeyintlungu. Ndazihlambalaza nokuba andizange ndihambe eSevastopol ngeeholide zam. Xa ndamkela isimemo sakhe, andizange ndicinge ukuba ndiza kuba yedwa. Ndaphenduka iTV, ndabukela i-concert ye-gala, ndiphulaphula umnqweno wolonwabo, kwaye ndiziva ngathi ngithunjiwe ... Owu, kwakuza kuba nomlingane womphefumlo osondeleyo ... Isandla ngokwaso sifinyelele kwifowuni. Ukudayela inombolo yimiba yemizuzwana, kuba sele ndiyibhale phantsi kohlu loqhagamshelwano phantsi kwegama elithi "Stranger".
"Ngaba nguwe?" - ulusu lwam lukhuni, xa ndaliva ilizwi lakhe. "Ngaba wayikhumbula inombolo yam?" Wayecinga ngokuvuya, njengenkwenkwana.
"Ndiyena ... Ngaba uyacaphuka?" Ndiye endleleni?
- Uthetha ukuthini? Ndikhangela kwiTV. Kwaye ndifuna ukukhala, "waphendula.
"Njengam," ndihleka.
- Ngaba uke wafumana iholide yedwa ngaphambili?
"Andizange," ndatsho ngokudabukisayo.
"Yaye ndilapha okwesibini," watsho. "Kwaye ndinokuthuthuzela: kulula ngoku ngoku kunokugqibela kunyaka ophelileyo." Watsho oku ukuze ndive ukuba intliziyo yam ivela entlungu.
- Ngaba uya kuba yedwa kuzo iiholide?
"Ngomso ndiya kubahlobo bam," wagubha. "Baye bathenga i-dacha kwiidolophana." Ndiya kuhamba ndibabone ... kude kube iKrisimesi. Nantsi ke ...
"Hayi ..." ndandinganqikazi. "Ngaba awuyi kuba nomsindo xa ndibiza kwakhona?" - Uthe wayibhala isibindi, waphuma.
Kwangomzuzwana wayethe cwaka. "Ewe, mntakwabo, uyagqithisa," ndatshwenyeka.
"Ndibize," watsho. "Kodwa ... kuphela ... ngeveki yeKrismesi."
La magama "ngeveki yeKrismesi" yazwakala imilingo, njengokungathi ndandive iindaba ezilibelekileyo zobuntwaneni bam. Ndineentloni ukuvuma mna, kodwa ndandibuhlungu gqitha xa ndithetha nomfokazi. Ekuqaleni ndithemba ukuba umsebenzi uya kundivumela ngandlela-thile ukuba ndilahleke iingcamango ezingenakucinga.
Kodwa ayizange incede. Ndalindela lonke ixesha, xa ndaliva ilizwi lakhe elimangalisayo, elincinci. "Kubonakala sengathi uhlahlulukile," ndazihlambalaza. "Ube uphupha ibhinqa iintsuku ezimbalwa endingazibonanga!" Ngaphambi kweKrisimesi andinakuyima kwaye ndiyishayela inombolo yayo. Wathatha ifowuni emva kwebheyi yesibini, njengokungathi wayelinde kwifowuni.
"Awuzange utshintshe ingqondo yakho, emva koko!"
Ndandimangalisa ngokwenene ukukhala kwakhe.
"Uyazi njani ukuba mna?" Uyakhumbula inombolo yam ngokukhawuleza?
- Kwaye okokuqala ndambhalela kubathintana phantsi kwegama elithi "Stranger".
- Wow, wena! Kwaye ndenza okufanayo!
Ndakuva i-low, chesty, ehlekisayo yokuhleka. Yaye yamphendula entliziyweni yam njengomtya we-violin.
Ndathi, "Igama lam nguArena," ndathi. "Ndiyaxolisa ukuba andizange ndizenzele."
- Ndiye ngu-Elena.
- Waya njani kubahlobo bakho?
"Ukutshata," watsho nje. "Liliphi ilizwi elihle ... Kwaye negama. Eli bhinqa ndiyam, ndivakalelwa. " Kukho enye indlela yokuyeka ukucinga ngo-Elena - kukumbona. "Nabani na ongenamngcipheko, akayiphuzi i-champagne," - ndazithoba.
"Ungubani ...?" Ndayeka. "Lena, wenza ntoni namhlanje, iKrismesi?"
"Akukho nto inomdla," waphendula ngokuvuya kwam, kodwa ndazama ukuyifihla.
"Andikho na izicwangciso," watsho ngokuvuya. "Ngaba siya kuhlwaya kunye?" - Ndazama ukuba ndingabonakali umdla.
"Ewe, ndingathanda ukubona indlela obukeka ngayo," watsho ngokukhawuleza, ndaza ndeka ngasemva. Andizange ndicinge ukuba ndixhalabele. "Nguwe kuphela owaziyo ..." wathi, "Andifuni ubuhlobo obunzulu." Kwaye kwangaphambili ndiyalumkisa malunga nalo. Uyabona, ndisandula ndatshatyalaliswa ndaza ndafunga kuye ukuba ndingadlali kunye nabani na. Ubuncinane kwixa elizayo.
- Kakade! - Ndandonwabile. - Ndineemeko ezifanayo ... Ndacacisa ukuba mna ndandidla ngokuqhawula umtshato. Kwaye wafunga ngesifungo.
Akuyimfuneko, kwaye ndithi, ngokunyamezela ukuba ndilindele ukuhlwa. Kwaye ekugqibeleni, ndambona. Ndingayichaza njani imbonakalo yalo mfazi? Waye ... Noko ke, kwanele ukuthetha ukuba ukubonakala kwakhe ... kuhambelana ngokupheleleyo negama lakhe nezwi lakhe. Kwaye ... ndibanjwe. Kungekudala umtshato. Ngenxa yokuba ngaloo ntsuku enkulu yeKrisimesi, imigaqo-nkqubo yamacheleror yachithwa, ekuqaleni. Hayi, nangaphambili, kwizandi zokuqala zezwi lakhe ...
