Ngehlobo konke kwakungeyona indlela esiphupha ngayo. Imali yayingeke ikwazi ukuhlala eYurophu, kodwa ngisho naseCrimea. Mina noMishka sasihlola ngeso lengqondo izithombe zethu zeholidini, sizitholele ngakwesinye isandla etafuleni. Ngabe sengikhumbula umngane wami wesikole. - Lalela, Mishka, kodwa ake siye eLizka? Wasimema ebusika ...
- Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe wayememezela isikhathi sasebusika, - wazama ukuhleka umyeni. - Ake ucabange, sisezikhungweni ze-skates cheshem ku-Sea of Azov ...
- Woza, - ngacasulwa. "Sasifana nodade esikoleni naye." Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi wasikhukhula nomndeni wonke ebusika. Ngizomshayela. Ungubani?
"Zama," uMishka wavuma. Naye wayekhathele kulo nyaka futhi waphupha ukulala esitsheni esishisayo engingaphansi kwami. Ngalobo busuku ngaxhumana nomngane wesikole. Kungakhathaliseki ukuxhuma kwakungalungile, noma u-Lizka wagijimela efonini, wayinqoba izithiyo, kodwa izwi lakhe layesaba.
- Yebo, ngiyakhumbula! Wayesethi.
- Woza, ngizohlela konke! Ngitshele ncamashi, yimuphi inombolo ukulungisa indlu?
Ingabe yindlu kithi? Ngivele ngikhanyisiwe ngenjabulo. Wabeka phansi ucingo wathi kumyeni wakhe: "Uyabona!" Uthando oludala alugcini, njengobungane besikole. U-Lizka usilindela ngehora leshumi nambili futhi uzokwakhiwa ngokukhethekile indlu. Bheka, i-capitalist isizitholile! Mayelana nomuntu engangifunda naye ekilasini uLizaveta waba ngumnikazi wendlu yokugibela ogwini lwe-Azov Sea, emcibiswaneni we-Arabat, ngafunda ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezedlule.
Imali yayinganele hhayi nje ukuphumula endaweni ethile eYurophu, kodwa ngisho nasezindaweni zokungcebeleka eziseningizimu yezwe.
Sikhumbula isithembiso esisodwa.
Asibonanga iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu, kodwa ebusika wazikhumbuza ngokwakhe. Ngabiza futhi ngithukuthele ngokuthi ngidinga ngokuphuthumayo ukuletha indodana yami eKiev ukuze ngixoxisane, futhi ngicela ukuthi bangabe behlala izinsuku ezimbalwa nathi.
- Yebo, sikhuluma ngani, Lizka! - Ngangijabule ngempela, kodwa lapho ngikhuluma naye, ngibheke endlini yami yamabili, lapho, nomyeni wami, inzalo yethu ezimbili, i-basset-hound yeDazi enhle kakhulu kanye ne-Bergot ebomvu ekati.
"Sisezinsukwini ezimbalwa," kusho uLizka lapho sagcina sigweme ukukhukhuma, sikhumbula esikoleni, abangane abangabantwana, ababesakazekile.
"Yebo, njengoba kunesidingo, kangako futhi uphile," ngahlehlisa futhi ngibheka umyeni wami. UMishka usanda kubuya emsebenzini obhekene nokukhishwa okwesikhashana kwengxenye enkulu yomndeni wethu kugogo.
Uninazala wakhe waphuthuma lapho ebona indodana enezikhwama, bekhamuluka bekanye futhi bexabana nabazukulu, uDaisy nge-leash ne-Bergamot ebhasikisini. "Ingabe iNata ikuxoshe?" Uninazala wambuza, izwi lakhe liwela. "Datychto, Mama! Misha uthiwa. - Sinezivakashi kuphela, azikho ndawo. Ungakwazi yini wena, izingane kanye noDusya ngeBergot ukuthi ube nezinsuku ezimbalwa ukuphumula? "Ngakho inkinga yokulala uLisa nendodana yakhe encane yaxazululwa. Mina noMishka sathuthela ezihlalweni ezimbili zokuhlalisa izihlalo, lapho abantu bethu belala khona, futhi izivakashi zanikezwa ekamelweni lazo lokulala. U-Lizka ushintshile kakhulu phakathi naleyo minyaka engamashumi amabili. Cha, akusona ukuthi unamandla futhi uvutha kakhulu, ngisho nokudayiswa ngokungcolile. Ngacabanga ngokuzisola ukuthi umngane wami wayebe nomona ngandlela-thile. Ngesihhala ekubonisaneni kwezokwelashwa, washaya uboya lwengubo yami ngesandla sakhe, wazizwa ngokucophelela ijezi elithambile lama-sweaters, wahlwitha yonke into endlini futhi wagubha:
"Yile ndlela abantu abahlala ngayo enhloko-dolobha!"
Ngitshele ngawe, "ngathi.
- Futhi yini ongayitshela? Wabubula. "Silima kusukela ekuseni kuze kube sebusuku, njengalabo abasolwa." Sithenge indlu enkulu yamaholide eqoqweni epulazini, sisilungisa, sifuna ukwenza indlu yokuzibamba yangasese. Umsebenzi - ngenhla ophahleni.
- Ngakho unayo indlu yakho yokuhlala? - Angikwazi ukuqonda ukuthi kungani enomona kangaka kithi. "Lizka, ungumngcwabi!" Futhi yena, njengokungathi wayegcotshwe ngamafutha esilonda: wamomotheka wathi:
- Woza noma nini! Kubangane abadala, yebo, konke kukhululekile! Esikhundleni sezinsuku ezimbalwa, uLisa wayehlala nathi isikhathi samasonto amabili, futhi nsuku zonke, ebuyela ekhaya, ngicabanga ngecala, yikuphi okunye okwakungase kube khona izimenywa ezihambelanayo, kunokunciphisa, lapho kunciphisa khona. Mina noMisha sahlela isimiso sangempela sokuzijabulisa, esasihlanganisa nekhonsathi esigodlweni "se-Ukraine", esekisini, indawo yokudlela yaseChina, i-Franco yaseshashalazini, futhi ihamba ngezintaba ze-Andreevsky. Lapho sihambisela izivakashi esiteshini, ngangikhathazekile kuphela ngokuthi ngingabhalela kanjani umgodi kumabhajethi womndeni emva kokuthinta kwethu okubanzi. U-Lizka uthe:
- Natasha, manje ngilinde ekuhambeleni ... Ngakho ngoJulayi weshumi nesishiyagalolunye salayisha isitokisi semoto ngezipho ("Sizokhulula ukuphumula," ngatshela uMisha.) "Kufanele silethe okungenani izipho ezivela enhlokodolobha") futhi sishiye kusasa ekuseni siye eningizimu. Ukuya endaweni enezimo ezihlukahlukene zomgwaqo esitholile ngemuva kwamabili. Indlu yaseBizzkin yayiyizindlu ezinamapulangwe ezinamapulangwe amabili ezungezwe ucingo olubi kakhulu. Emnyango, oyisango lokubamba ngamapulangwe, kwakukhona indawo yokulala lapho umkhulu ophuze utshwala ngokuthula. Saqeda ukumvusa kusuka ebusika futhi saqala ukuchaza ukuthi singobani nokuthi kungani sifikile.
- Azikho izihlalo! - wachaza ngobuchule futhi wayekade efuna ukulala futhi, kodwa uMisha wambamba ngomkhonto futhi waqala ukubuza ngokuphikelela ukuthi angasithola yini umnakekeli wezindlu zokugibela.
- Lizaveta? - Umkhulu wethu wamangala ngolwazi lwethu. - Unomyeni wakhe eGrisi. Amaviki emva kokubili, uma iqoqo elilandelayo lizokwehliswa futhi kuzodingeka ukuthi unqume ugogo. Futhi manje azikho izindawo! Futhi, kubonakala sengathi akazange aqambe amanga.
Naphezu kobusuku obujulile , amafasitela ezindlu avuliwe, futhi kuwo wonke umuntu, njengokungathi aphikisana, ukukhala okudakiwe kwakuzwakala. Abantu bahlukana ngokugcwele ... Umlindi wagudluza isandla sakhe wathi: "Hamba emzini! Lapho ungaqasha i-angle ngokungabizi kahle. " Futhi ingabe amandla ngemuva kwalezi zindaba ayeyohamba? Sabuyela emuva emcibisholo we-Arabat sasihlala phansi ubusuku eduze kwekamu lama-savages. Abashayeli abathintekayo emotweni, bonke ubusuku bonke, besabisa ukukhala kwezinja eziqhamukayo, ukuhamba ematendeni, ukudlala okunamandla kanye nezingoma zokudakwa. Lapho ilanga lishaya phezulu esibhakabhakeni, thina, sithukuthele futhi singalali ngokwanele, sasihlala esihlabathini, futhi uMishka wasesithi: "Mhlawumbe sasiya eGenichesk, sizokhamba ngekona izinsuku ezimbalwa." Ngokuqinisekile sibuyele kabusha amakhilomitha ayizinkulungwane? Sizophonsa elwandle, bese-ekhaya. Ngakhala ngecala: e-trunk yaqedwa ngokuphelele futhi yageleza i-gostinitsy yedolobha elikhulu: amaqebelengwane ase-Kiev, amaswidi "Evening Kiev". UMishka walayisha leli phalishi le-chocolate ngaphansi kwesihlahla esiseduzane, futhi ngokushesha washaywa ngenduku encane yezinja ezilahlekile namakati. Sifikile emotweni nasemhlambini eGenichesk. Ngemuva kokuchitha isigamu sosuku sifuna futhi sibhade, sikhokha owesifazane onamafutha $ 5 ngekhaleni ngobusuku ubusuku ekamelweni ngaphandle kwamafasitela. "Ngakho-ke ayifuni!"
- Mina noMishka sinqume ukushayela imoto , kodwa ukuhamba kancane. Eminye ama-steppes aphunga, adle ama-shish kebabs emakhakheni, uMisha wayethukuthele ebusuku emakamu. "Ufunani?" - owesifazane wamangala. "Sinalo ulwandle lokuphulukisa!" Ukungcola, inhlanzi! "Ekugcineni banamathela olwandle. Leli gama elithi "ulwandle lokuphulukisa" eliseduze komuzi laliyinkimbinkimbi emanzini angcolile anamafutha amahle omnqumo. Sema, siyakujabulela indawo, kepha asizange silinge ukugebha. Yagxila emanzini ngamathawula futhi yalala kwaze kwaba kusihlwa: ukukhathala kwabathintekile. Ngakusasa ekuseni saya ekhaya. Ngangizizwela kakhulu, kodwa umyeni wami, ezama ukusivuselela, axoxe ngokungapheli. "Nata, kuhle ukuthi sithatha yonke imali nathi!" Wathi, lapho benquma ukungashayeli, kodwa ukuhamba kancane, ukuhlola ama-expanses amahle ezweni lethu, nokuyeka ezindaweni abazithandayo.
Babedla isidlo sakusihlwa emasimini aphunga, babe nesidlo emasimini omgwaqo, bachitha ubusuku ebusuku, bahamba emadolobheni abangajwayelekile, futhi ngemva kwesonto babuyela ekhaya, baqinisile baqinisekisa unina kaMisha:
- Uma ungabaleli konke olwandle, khona-ke singasho ukuthi iholidi laliyimpumelelo! Emasontweni amabili kamuva, u-Lizka wabiza futhi ngezwi elicasulayo wangithinta:
- Natasha! Ubani lokhu? Sivumelana ngomhlaka wamashumi amabili ka-Agasti, futhi wagijima ngomhlaka-20 kaJulayi! Intombi, yebo, ngangingenawo isikhathi ...
- Woza, Lizka! Ngathi, futhi ngenxa yesizathu esithile sahlwitha. "Kulungile."
"Yileyo ndlela ubeka ngayo amanzi ngaso sonke isikhathi," kusho uMisha.
"Sizobona," ngiphendula ngokusobala. - Ukuphila kuyinto engalindelekile ...
