Ngaloo busuku, u-Inessa wayenxiliswe ngethuba lokuqala ebomini bakhe. Amehlo akhe agubha ngokukrakra, kwaye umlomo wakhe wancincizela ngentshongwane, uphinda ngokuphinda uprofethe ngokungathandabuzekiyo: "Konke okufanayo, uya kuba ngowam! Wam! "
Abafundi beklasi abesabisayo bashiya intombi engxakini emnyango wendlu yakhe, ebenokuyicinezela iqhosha lebell.
Ukubona umntwana wakhe onamahloni, abazali abahloniphekileyo - njengokungathi kumyalelo: "Khuphela!" -qabisa emnyango. Uyise wafika engqondweni yakhe kuqala, wahudula intombi yakhe endlwini, engakhohlwa ukukhangela okukhulu ukujonga kwizitepsi. Ngethuba lexesha, u-Inessa waba nesigxina ngakumbi ekunqobeni uDaniyeli kwixabiso. Ngokukhawuleza "ngengozi" wayesoloko efunyanwa kuye. Ngokuphathelele nangaphandle kwesizathu, ndaya kuShekh, ndabuza icebiso, ndazama, njengokungathi ngengozi, ukuxhomekeka kwiphepha lakhe, thintela isandla sakhe. Ndamphatha ngeapulo kunye neesekese. Umntu wenqaba, kwaye emva koko, wasula, waqala ukuthatha iimpawu zokukhathalela. Ngaphezu kobudlelwane babo, yonke ikhosi yayixakile. Kwaye, mhlawumbi, ukutshatyalaliswa kweBiktogirova kwakuza kuvelisa isiqhamo ukuba "inkosi" yayingaxelelwa ngeendlebe ukuba u-Inessa wayesebuqilima kwisixeko.
- Unomdla? - kubuzwa ebunzini kwintlanganiso.
Intombazana, ihlazekile, yabheka kude. Kwaye ndandifuna ukuthetha into ethile, njengoko uDaniel wakhonga:
- Umoya owawukufutshane nam, andiqondi? Kwaye ke kufuneka udle i-silage yam phambi kwebhokisi - ndiya kukutya, inyoka! - Yaye xa ibona intombazana iqhuma iinyembezi, ibeke iingalo zayo emagxeni kwaye imxinzelele kuye. "Ying, kutheni ufuna konke oku?" Andikuthandi! Andiyithandi - uyayiqonda, wena untumbane? Bathi ngokuthe tye: iinwele zide - ingqondo imfutshane, - Inessa waduduza ngokukhawuleza, kwaye wayezichukumisa ngakumbi kumfana.
Ngobo busuku bebodwa. Umnxeba onzima uphazamiseke kwisithembiso sokuba emva koko le ntombazana iya kumshiya ngonaphakade. Kwiiveki ezimbini kamva, abafundi bahlakazeka.
Eli bali liye lancincika ngokusuka kwimemori kaDaniyeli, lahleka kwisiqwenga semihla ngemihla. Wavuya noYvanka wakhe. Ngomnyaka emva komtshato, onqabileyo, njengengca, wazala amantombazana angamawele, apho uShekh akazange amthande umphefumlo. Kule minyaka, uthando lwakhe ngomfazi aluzange luphele, kodwa lufumene i-shades entsha.
Unempilweni, i-smart-slanting sazhen kumagxa - usihlalo kunye nomfazi wakhe omncinci - i-headmistress yesikolo sasemaphandleni-yayincoko yedolophini, kodwa kuphela into yokuba indoda enjalo kunye nomfazi kufuneka bazinyamekele. Ukususela kwixesha elidlulileyo kwidolophana inqanaba lobuhle besifazana bomeleleyo besifazane, njengoko besithi, igazi kunye nobisi. U-Ivanna Shelekh akazange ahambelane nalo mfanekiso kwiingcambu. Wayengumfundisi olungileyo, ibhinqa elumkileyo. Mhlawumbi kwindawo ethile eFransi-ayiyi kuba nemali, kodwa kwamehlo endlebeni, ilahlekelwa ngabaninzi be-kolkhoz. Kwaye abanye babo, benethemba elifihlakeleyo kunye nokulumkisa, bekulindele ukuba umongameli aphule ekugqibeleni: kwakunzima kakhulu ebomini bakhe. Izwi elithi "Emzimbeni onempilo - ingqondo ephilileyo" ngamanye amaxesha ayihambelani neyinyani: iminyaka emininzi yomsebenzi ukususela kusasa kuze kube sekuseni. UShekh waqhekeza intliziyo yakhe. Emva kokuba usihlalo ekhishwe esibhedlele, ngokokuqala ngqa kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini waya eholide waza waya eYalta. U-Ivanna - ukuphakama kweemviwo, ngoko wayengenakukwazi ukujoyina umyeni wakhe. Isibhedlele asihlali ekhaya, kwaye iminyaka emininzi yobomi obatshatileyo bafunde ukuthembelana kuzo zonke izinto.
Ukusuka eSevastopol ukuya eYalta, uDaniil Shelekh, njengomntu ohlala kuyo, ohamba ulwandle. Yena, njengenkwenkwana, wagijima e-keel waya ngasentshonalanga, evuyiswa ngumoya oyintloko, i-spray ebhaptizayo ebusweni, iphosa umzila wesikhephe.
Waya eLivadia esuka echwebeni laseYalta ngebhasi, eyayizikhukhumeza kakhulu kwaye idibanisa amacala ayo, kwimizuzu embalwa, njengoko uShekh wakucinga, wathatha abagibeli ukuya entabeni yeMogabi.
UDaniel waba negumbi kwelinye lezindlu zangaphambili zobukhosi. Kwakhona ukuveliswa kwakhona okungenabubele akuzange kushenxise ubukhulu beli sakhiwo. Ujwayele ukukhawuleza ngokukhawuleza, kodwa akukho namathayi njengenkqubo engapheliyo. Kwaye u-Shelekh waqala ukubatyelela ngokuncinci. Wayehamba ngepaki ngeeyure, njengowesana olusandul 'ukuzalwa, wagxeka amehlo akhe kwimimbala eyahlukeneyo yembala nemibala. Waguqa phambi kokudalwa kwezandla zabantu, wamangaliswa kwiintlobo zemithi kunye nezihlahla, ezama ukukhumbula ngegama ngamagama athile, kodwa ekufumaneni ukuba kukho abangaphezu kwama-400 kubo, washiya lo msebenzi. Njengoko wayezama ukubamba, wazama ukuqhubeka, ukubona yonke into, ukuya kuyo yonke indawo. Ngenye imini, ehamba kunye nePivadia Park, waphuma waya kwi-Sunpath eyaziwayo, ejikeleza ehlathini le-oak-hornbeam, apho, ngenxa yezithsaba zemithi endala esondele kuyo, kwaneentsuku ezitshisa kakhulu kunokupholisa. Imisipha yayingamthandi ngokumqhubela phambili, ibheke ukunamathela kumanani okuhamba ngokungenzi lutho, njengokungathi kulindeleke intlanganiso.
Umendo wamkhokelela kwi-sanatorium yaseYasnaya Polyana, iikhilomitha ezisixhenxe emva kwakhe.
"Ngoko, ndiphucula," u-Shelekh wacinga, kwaye amehlo akhe akhupha ubuso obuthile bomntu.
- I-Инесса, - iqhubekile. Kwaye ngoku, malunga nama-50 eminyaka kamva, ekugqibeleni wathi: "Yeka indlela enhle ngayo!" Kwakubonakala ukuba le minyaka yayimzuzile kuphela. Bathi, njengomculi onetalente, bahlaziye izakhono zabo, bazisa imivalo emitsha ekubonakaleni kwayo, bongeza kwi-portrait esebenzayo. U-Inessa wakhupha umlingane naye, kunye novuyo olungalindelekanga (nangona kwimeko ethile engqondweni, uDaniel wayesazi ukuba wayelindele le ntlanganiso rhoqo) wamphakamisa waza wamanga ngobumnene. Ngomzuzwana umfazi wayehlazekile, kwaye ke, ngaphandle kokukhulula isandla sakhe, wahamba ecaleni.
Ukubukeka emehlweni akhe ajabulisayo, wabuza: "Nkosi, ngaba ngokwenene wena?" Ngaba akusilo iphupha? "- waza wenyuka, njengentsimbi, wakhala, wambambelela kuye.
UDaniyeli wayevame ukuza "Cima iGlade". Ukunyuka kwamanyathelo, waxakeka ngokugqithiseleyo kwi-Leo Tolstoy kwaye wayilinda ngokungapheliyo kwi-foyer ngelixa i-Inessa ibonakala. Ukulibala malunga nobudala babo, bona, njengabantwana, baxoxela ubuso obunangqiqo komnye nomnye, balingisa izilwanyana ezincineni kwikona ephilayo. Baye badlala baze bafune kwi-groove ye-magnolia, bahlala ixesha elide kwiimigodlo yokufakelwa, bebonga ama-grotto. U-Inessa waletha unyana owona mncinci kwisibhedlele ukwenzela unyango. Umntwana oneminyaka elishumi elinamibini alithandanga ukuba umalume wakhe wayekhathalele unina. Akazange abuyisele emva kokufa kukayise kwaye wayenomona ngunina, nangona wenza okusemandleni akhe ukuba angabonakali ubuso bakhe.
UShelekh walibala malunga nesifo, malunga nomsebenzi, malunga nosapho. Ngexesha elide. Baye kunye no-Inessa - isibini esihle kakhulu, oku kwaphindaphindiwe ngeenxa zonke, babenomfanekiso obunzima. U-Inessa waqhaqhazela njengentombazana yomtshato, kwaye uShelekh wayebonakala elahlekile iminyaka elishumi. Ngeveki bafunda yonke into malunga nomnye. Kwaye, nangona kwakunzima gqitha ukuhlula, uDaniel wawa phezu kwekhefu eliphezulu, ngenxa yezizathu ezithile ezigubungelayo. Yintoni eyenzekayo, ngokumenza wangenwabile ngenxa yexeshana, wayeselunzima, kwaye uShekh wayefuna ukumgxotha njengomthwalo ongadingekile. Nangona wayekulungele ukufunga ukuba uthando lwakhe lweeholide aluyonto nje. Ukuze aqonde iimvakalelo zakhe, uDaniel wayengenakukwazi, kwaye akazange afune. Ingqondo yahlaba ingcinga enye: "Ikhaya!"
Uphantse ukuba ukhohliwe i-sanatorium-resort resort, kodwa u-Ivanna akukho-no, kwaye ubuze indlela unyango oluye ngayo, akafuni ukubuyela kwonyango kunye nokuphumla. Ulwalamano lwaba ngandlela-thile lugxininisekile, ngaphezu koko - umfazi wayegwema ukuthandana.
Xa uShekh wayekhatywe yinto yonke waza wagqiba ukufumanisa ubuhlobo, umyeni wayethatha ipakethe enzima esuka kwiplasita waza wathululela iziqulatho zakhe etafileni: iileta, iifoto.
"Uvuyisiwe apha," wachaza ngowokuqala owamfumana.
"Ulufunde ngantoni na?" - UDaniel waqhubeka ehlaselayo.
"Yakho?" - njengokungcikiva, ukuphindaphinda u-Ivanna. - Khangela iiphepuleli - iincwadi zibhekiswe kum. Kodwa awuzange uphoswe: kukho enye kunye nawe. Ukusuka kum unyana wam, emkhosini, "wathi, emisa.
UDaniel wanyuka.
"Yintoni ekhoyo: enye ukuya kwelinye." Wabeka isithombe.
Izigidi zeengcamango zaphosa kwangoko intloko kaShekh: "Nyana. Ngaba sinayo unyana? Kutheni engazange athi njalo? Hayi! Ngaba le ntlanganiso ingazange idlule ngaphandle kokulandelwa? "
- Unomfanekiso ohlukileyo, omnye u-patronymic, Kodwa jonga indlela ekhangeleka ngayo, - njengokungathi ukusuka kwenye indawo kude naye wakuva. Ivanka washiya. Amantombazana asele anyaka njengoko afundiswa kwiziko, yingakho abazange bazincenge iintombi zabo. Ukungabi nalutho. Wahlala kuyo yonke indawo. Ekhaya, kwisitya, kwiofisi enenzondo. Yonke into yayididekile: intlungu yokulahlekelwa yintsapho kunye novuyo lokufumana unyana. Inzondo ebrakra yandinceda ukuxazulula iingxaki, kwaye uDaniel, nangona intliziyo egulayo, wayilumkisa ngeelitha. Ukutshiza emsebenzini, iintsuku ekupheleni akazange ashiye indlu aze aphuze ... ekhokelela ekuhlaleni.
Ngesinye isikhathi kumnyango wendlu uvele u-Inessa. Ukumjonga ngotye, uDaniel wayenethemba lokuba uza kucela uxolo, ubuncinane uzame ukuchaza isizathu sokuba wayephule ubomi bakhe, kodwa wamncenga wathi:
-Ndivuyiswa kukuba unobandezeleka, ukuba buhlungu. Akuyena yena, ndimele ndibe nawe kulobu bomi! Ndi !!! - waqhekeza ukukhala kukaInessa. Xa wayedakiwe, wayengazi ukuba wenza ntoni, u-Shelekh wamnqumla ngesibetho esisodwa.
- UGadina, inyoka ... - njengengqungquthela, watshela amapolisa afike.
- uGadiina! - Utshize umunwe kwindawo yokumhlophe emhlophe-igumbi lesibhedlele esibhedlele.
