I-doorbell yahlelwa emnyango. Umakhelwane kaLena wayemi emgodleni enekende ezandleni zakhe: "Tan, awukwazi ukuwukhipha ushukela?" Khona-ke umqondo onjalo wehlela kimi! Sasibopha iGena kubasango. Kwaphela isigamu sehora wahudula kithi efulethini lomakhelwane i-carpet eyenziwe ngezandla, izithombe nezitsha ze-antique (konke lokhu kwakungokukaLena njengendodana evela kumkhulu wakhe). ULenka kwadingeka futhi adlale indima yomninindlu. Ifulethi lethu elincane laguqulwa, njengokungathi ngomlingo, kodwa uLena, ebheka nxazonke, wahlala engajabuli: "Namanje awukwazi ukufinyelela kuma-Ukrainians amasha!" Khona-ke umbusisiwe wami wacabanga:
- Ake sithi sithengise igumbi lethu lokulala, kodwa indlu ayigcwalisiwe okwamanje. Ngakho-ke, qasha okwesikhashana le ndlu.

Uzobeka inkukhu esitsheni futhi - oh, yimuphi umonakalo! - njengokungathi uzokwehlisa yonke into phansi. Uzofika kithi futhi izinyembezi emehlweni akhe zizokutshela ukuthi kwenzekani, ngizoyidla, bese ngizokucela ukuba udobe amasobho. Uthanda kanjani umqondo wami? Lo mqondo wawuvunyelwe ngenjabulo futhi ngomdlandla. AmaKrivtsovs eza, njengoba athembisiwe, kanye nantathu. Lena ujwayele ukujwayela isithombe. Wagijima esitokisini esiphezulu futhi waguqa phambi kwezivakashi ezibizayo.
"Kuhle kakhulu kuwe," kusho uRaisa, ebheka nxazonke. "Kancane kancane ..." UGena wabe esinika uKrivtsov inguqulo yendlu ekwakhiwa.
Ngimeme izivakashi etafuleni. Iwayini ne-isaladi zavunyelwa, imidwebo nezitsha zathathwa ngokubonga.

"Lo mzuzu," ngokushesha umakhelwane waphendula, futhi, ngokuhambisana neskripthi, wezwa ukumemeza kwakhe okwesaba nokuzwakala kwezitsha eziphukile. U-Lena wabonakala egumbini lokuphumula ngemuva kwesikhathi esingaphansi kokuthi kwakuthiwa yi-script. Ubuso bakhe babumhlophe njenge-cholk, futhi amehlo akhe ayekhanya ngokukhala. "Lona umdlalo! Ngacabanga ngami. "Kumelwe silule uLenka ukuba enze inkundla yezemidlalo." "Kanye ... kanye ... bekushaya ... V-in-bonke phansi!" Lena onamathele. Wembesa ubuso bakhe ngezandla zakhe, futhi ngezwi elikhulu, wagijima waya ekhishini.
