Ngikhumbula ngalolo suku kahle kakhulu. Ngokuqondile, ekuseni kakhulu. Mina, njengenjwayelo, ngangiphambene nendlu. Ngangena esikhwameni-enginalutho. Nkosi, yini engingayenza? Akukho lutho lokudla endlini, futhi bathembisa ukukhokhela ukudubula kuphela ngesonto ...
Indoda esesitokisini nehembe elimhlophe lingaphambi kwesibuko. Esandleni - isipho sami, ibhodlela lamanzi angasese.
- Kirill, - izwi liyathuthumela ngokukhohlisa, - Anginayo imali nhlobo. Ngeke unikeze? Ungabheka phezulu kusuka ekuzindeni kwakho esibukweni.
- UCyril uphonsa ngokunganaki:
- Ayikho imali? Qaphela ...
Ngaleso sikhathi, ukuphila komkhaya wami kwahlukana njengepuzzli ephazamisekile, futhi ngakhuluma okunye:
"Ngeke usondele kimi njengomfazi." Ungalokothi.
Futhi emva kwalokho konke okwanele kuKirill, engivumelana nami, ukuthi: "Mvule, ngikholeka ngenkathi ngimakhelwane, futhi mina perejmu nami ngizokunika, ungakhathazeki". Kodwa akazange athi lokho ...
Kungenxa yokweqa. Ngijwayele, ngijwayele ukubekezela, ukuqonda. Ngakufundisa ukuba ungakhathazeki ngalutho. Ngisho nemindeni kaKirill kwakungadingeki igcinwe. Kungani? Kukhona umfazi olima kusukela ekuseni kuze kube sebusuku, njengehhashi elidonsayo, futhi akadingi lutho ngokubuyisela. Kungani kukhonjiswa okuthile?
Indoda yathi kuLuthando: "Unamandla kakhulu, uyangilahla." Mhlawumbe, uqinisile - Ngangizama njalo ukuhola inqubo. Kwakudingeka ukuba uzame ukuba buthakathaka, mhlawumbe, khona-ke uzama ukuqina. Futhi kwakungelula kimi ukwenza konke ngokwami.
Uqobo ... Izwi lami lokuqala ekuphileni. Umama wambamba ingubo yami, ngaphakamisa isandla sakhe wathi: "Mama!" Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, sekudlula iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40. Ngalolo suku olujabulisayo, ngemva kokulalela iseluleko somyeni wakhe, ngaya esikrinini futhi ngaqala. Ngabona owesifazane ongajwayelekile-okhathele, engathandeki, engathandeki, wazinikela kumuntu osekude engenaso isithakazelo.
.. .Nkulunkulu, yeka ukuthi wayehle kangakanani ebusheni bakhe! Madly! Yiqiniso, lokhu konke kuyize. Kodwa manje ngiyaqonda lokhu. Futhi-ke ... ngangizungezwe ubuso obuhle kusukela ebuntwaneni. Umama, Baba. Ugogo, omkhulu. Ngakho-ke, ngangikholelwa ukuthi indoda yami, umyeni wami, kumelwe ngokuqinisekile ingenakuvinjelwa. Ku-actress u-Love Rudenko, i-biography iye yathuthuka kakhulu, futhi empilweni wayenenhlanhla - unendodana efundele futhi ehlakaniphile.
Uthando lwase luqedile i-GITIS: i-eyed-blue, i-slim, ne-scythe ende ende. Ukuhleka - ungangithukuthezi. Ngokuvamile, ukuphila kuhle futhi kuphile kahle! Futhi lapha - uCyril. Wafunda ngonyaka wokuqala, wangena emidlalo yaseshashalazini ngemuva kokuphothula esikoleni se-Faculty of Mechanics yaseMoscow State University. Ngigqoke njalo ngenaliti, iphunga elimnandi lamafutha abizayo. Yebo, futhi "ngokudlulile" - bathi, washada, ngisho nendodakazi yakhe. Amantombazane awazange anikeze idlule. Bamgijima bamlandela, wangilandela. Izimbali zazigqoke izikhali, zabuyela ekhaya ngetekisi. Wabesaba bonke abalandeli. Yini enye intombazane eneminyaka engamashumi amabili edinga ngayo? Hamba othandweni, yebo.
Lapho sihlangana, uCyril uhlongozwe ukuqhuba.
Ngithi: "Cha, lokhu sekude kakhulu, e-Izmaylovo." Futhi wahleka wathi manje uqhuba ngempela, ngoba naye uhlala ku-Izmailovo. Kwavela lokho kusuka endlini yami kuya kuye - imizuzu eyishumi. Futhi wafunda esikoleni samathematika, esasisondelene kakhulu nendlu yami. Ngaye, ngaya emetroshini nsuku zonke. Kodwa ngiphuma endlini nginezinyanga eziyishumi nane kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili, ngoba ngifunda esikoleni esikhethekile saseFrance e-Arbat Street. Futhi wabonakala kamuva. Sasihamba emgwaqweni ofanayo iminyaka eyishumi ngomsindo wesiqingatha sehora!
Ekuqaleni uCyril wabona uthando emva kwamakilasi esikhungweni, ngemuva kwalokho - emva kokudlala: emva kokuqeda i-GITIS, inkambo kaGoncharov, ngafika kuye eMaryakovsky Theatre. Abalingisi abaningi emidlalweni yethu yaseshashalazini babethandana noCyril, baze bagxume bangene emgwaqweni ukuze babone ukuthi ufike nini kimi, futhi, nakanjani, babe nomona.
"I-candy-bouquet" isikhathi sahamba singaboni: ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ngakhulelwa. Angizange ngibe nokungabaza ukuthi sizoshada. Ukuthi umyeni wami uzoba engcono kakhulu. Futhi lo mndeni, naphezu kwalowo odlule owayengazange aphile neTaratuta cishe iminyaka eyishumi. Lapho esedinga usizo lomthetho. Ukhumbula uLyova. Ungummeli, wase esebenza eVnesheconombank. Futhi bahlangana. I-Taratuta yasiza. Ngombukiso, umama wahlela i-dinner party. Bese babonana ngendlela entsha. Uqale ukuphola. Kwaphela cishe iminyaka emibili. U-Lyova, ngisho nalapho evakashela unina, waze wayesebenzelana nokunciphisa okuningi: "Mama, mhlawumbe uzoba ne-papule? Futhi ngizozihlanganisa izingane ekhaya. " Yiqiniso, eyinkimbinkimbi ekuqaleni - naye unendodana, mhlawumbe kayithandi ukuthi ngibiza uyise ngokuthi "ama-papules." Kodwa umama wathi: "ULyova ngisho nasemsebenzini uthi manje unezingane ezimbili - uSergei nawe." USergei Taratuta naye ungumlingisi nomlobi odumile.
Abazali bami bahlukanisa lapho ngineminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye. Isikhathi sesibili umama washada. Wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili, uLev Semenovich Taratute-amashumi amahlanu nantathu. Babejwayele ubusha. Lapho umkakhe, umlingisi u-Lyudmila Fetisova, esebenza eSoviet Army Theater, kanye nodadewabo omama omdala u-Irina Soldatova. U-Irina wayengabangane noLyova noLyusya. Kwakuyimbhangqwana emangalisayo. Futhi umama, ababukele unyaka nonyaka, ebona ububele abathandana nabo, ngisho nokuthanda kancane kokubili njengomuntu owodwa. Futhi ngokuzumayo eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesithupha ubudala, uLusya ufa ngesifo esikhulu. ULyova uhlala engumfelokazi, omunye akhulela indodana kaSeryozha. Umama wahlangana nobaba okwamanje, bashada, wangibhalela futhi bahlukanisa nami.
Beka eceleni kwabo - abazange bapende. U-Levushka wasikisela, kodwa umama wayekhunjulwe yiLuce. Ngolunye usuku uphupha iphupho: njengokungathi kusuka edwaleni elikhulu uLuce uphuma, uyaza nabo noLyova, ujoyine izandla futhi, ehleka, ehamba emuva. Lapho ngivuka, umama waqaphela ukuthi uLusia wayebusisile lo mshado. Kwakukhona icala elilodwa. Ngesikhathi umama noLevushka befika kule midlalo eTheatre yeSoviet Army ngokwehlukana. Sahlangana kakade ehholo. Khona-ke kwavela ukuthi amakamelo okugqoka amabili ayeyizinkulungwane ayebanomakhelwane ababili - amashumi amane namashumi amane nanye. Bese beqaphela ukuthi isiphetho sitshela kubo: "Basha, bafana! Futhi yeka indlela engangijabule ngayo!
ULyova wamukela ngokushesha. UPapulya noLevushka baqala ukubiza ngaphambi komshado wabo. Ngabona ukuthi uyabakhathalela kanjani umama, ukuthi umama washeshe waqhakaza kanjani. Singabangane naye. Yena, njengoLevushka, umuntu onokwethenjelwa futhi unomqondo ongapheli wokuhlekisa. Baze baphathe ngisho nokuphatha izifo ngamahlaya. Labo namuhla ababona umama okokuqala bathi: "Woza, ngeke kube ukuthi wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili!" Umama ubukeka emuhle kakhulu, ngoba uhlale nomngane wakhe othandekayo iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu. Ungowakhe - ukukhanya efasiteleni. Futhi yena uqobo lwakhe kuze kube yilolu suku - Dinochka, othandekayo futhi othandekayo. Umama othandekayo ngempela: konke okuphathelene nalomuntu kungcwele kuye. Ukholelwa ukuthi into ebaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni kukhona izingane, abazali kanye nendoda. Ngangihlale ngibabheka futhi ngacabanga: Ngifuna umndeni ofanayo!
Futhi lapho ngibona ukuthi ngikhulelwe, nganquma ukuthi iphupho ligcwaliseka. Ngangiqiniseka ukuthi uCyril uzojabula futhi. Ngamtshela, futhi nje ... yalala. Ngangishiya ngedwa, ngangethukile, ngangifuna ukukhipha isisu. Kodwa umama wama:
"Akusizi ukuthatha umphefumulo!" Ake sikhule!
- Futhi ukuhlala kuphi?
"Ngikukhulisile wedwa, futhi uzovusa ingane yakho ezinyaweni zakho!" Asize!
Ubaba akazange akhokhe i-alimony, akatholanga umsebenzi ohlala njalo. Yebo, futhi umama lapho evakashele i-comedy yaseshashalazini ngaleso sikhathi wathola kancane. Ngezinye izikhathi ama-kopecks amahlanu ayengakwanele ukuthenga isisindo soshukela, futhi ngalinganiselwa amagremu angamakhulu amane namashumi amahlanu. Ngigqoke kakhulu. Esikoleni esikhethekile saseFrance, amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye abe "izingane" ezine, abazali babo bahamba phesheya, akudingeki bagqoke izingubo zabanye, ngokungafani nami. Ngakho ngangazi ukuthi kunesidingo. Kodwa ngemva kokuba kuthathwe isinqumo sokushiya ingane, ngokushesha ngaqala ukulula. Akukho izinyembezi emfuleni, akukho ukuhlushwa.
Futhi ukukhulelwa kwaba lula ngomdlali wesithandwa u-Love Rudenko, owaziwa yibo bonke abalandeli bakhe. Ngaya eYugoslavia, eBulgaria, eLeningrad. Wabambe amafilimu amabili - "Akazange alinde, akazange aqagele" no "Vasily Buslaev." Kwaphela isikhathi eside akekho owaziyo ngesimo sami "esithakazelisayo": Ngangizizwa kahle kakhulu.
Kusuka esibhedlela, ngaphezu kukaMama noLyova, Uthando lwalukelwa umngane omkhulu kaKenya nomyeni wakhe uZhenya. Mina noKayya sachitha iminyaka eyishumi etafuleni elifanayo futhi sasixoxa nabo. UZhenya wazenza sengathi unguyise. I-Nyanechka - izimbali nemvilophu enemali, futhi yamnika imvilophu enezingane ezisanda kuzalwa: "Baba, sihalalisela!" Wadlala. Waphonsa ingubo emuva: "Wow, wena, omncane wami!" Futhi siyahleka! Ngakho, ngishiya esibhedlela, angizange ngibone ubunzima besifazane ongashadile onomntwana. Bangithatha ngetekisi baya emnyango, balayishwa futhi bathi: "Hhayi, sifeza umsebenzi wethu. Manje ake sikhulume! "
Futhi kwaqala: ukulala ebusuku, ukudla, ukuwasha, ukuhamba. Isibonelelo si-ruble amathathu namashumi amathathu - njengomama ongayedwa. Imali yayinganele, kanti uTolik wayeneminyaka emibili ubudala, kwakudingeka ngiqale ukusebenza enkundleni yaseshashalazini. Indodana yami yahamba nomama, udadewabo - Ugogo Galya noma omakhelwane. Angizange ngidlale kakhulu, kodwa ngikhokhelwa isamba esiphelele - uGoncharov wayala. Ukuphila kuthuthukile.
Abaningi, Yebo, bazwelana: Uthando olulodwa nengane - kunzima! Ngacindezela: "Kungani uzisola mina? Intsha, enempilo, oh-hoo! Futhi abalimi empilweni bayobe bebaningi kakhulu - bakhethe ukuhlupheka! "Kuyinto edabukisayo manje ukukhumbula ukucabanga kwakho. Noma kunjalo, phakathi nale minyaka ngathola "ilanga" lami. Ngithandana ngaphandle kwenkumbulo futhi ngingenalo ithemba.
Ngelinye ihlobo sasivakashele ngezemidlalo. U-Olga Prokofieva wayengumhla wokuzalwa kuphela. Sifuna ukukusho, sathengile imikhiqizo emakethe. Futhi akukho vodka ezitolo, kuphela endaweni yokudlela - umthetho owomile ezweni! Ngaleso sikhathi mina no-Olga sanquma ukuphuza esitolo sokudlela. Sihlala, siyala i-decanter, futhi ngaphansi kwetafula ngokucophelela sithelela i-vodka ibe ibhodlela elingenalutho lamanzi amaminerali, abawaletha nawo. Ngokungazelelwe umfana ufika athi:
"Bantombazane, ngiyakwazi." Igama lami nguKolya. Ngesinye isikhathi "eMayakovka" wasebenza. Futhi lapha ngeqoqo elilodwa kokuvakasha. Mhlawumbe kusihlwa singakhuluma?
Siphuma ngokuhleka:
"Ungubani, nsizwa, usiphazamise ebhizinisini elibalulekile?" Ungaboni ukuthi, iyiphi inqubo ephazamisayo?
Waqonda konke, wahleka:
- Lindela ukuhambela elinye ibhodlela lamanzi amaminerali.
Kusihlwa bayakhonya ekamelweni.
Ngivula umnyango. Emgodini, uKolya, futhi eduze kwakhe - indoda enhle kakhulu. Ngelulela isandla sami kuye, ngimtshele mina. Futhi sashaywa njengamanje kagesi. Simi ngokuthula, futhi sibhekana. Laba bantu babehamba bezungeza, ngokuchofoza iminwe yabo: "Asinakukhathaza yini?"
Le ndoda yayiyi-solist of the ensemble, sachitha ubusuku bonke simhlabelela ngegitala ngamazwi amabili. Eshiya, wathi inani lekamelo lezindebe zakhe. Ngabona ukuthi ngizohlala kulobu busuku naye. Ngitshela u-Ole: "Ngiyakuncenga! Nginike i jeans yakho emhlophe! "Ngangimpofu kakhulu, ngesaba ukusho. Futhi manje ngidonsela ku-jeans yeProkofieva futhi ngiya kuye konke kuhle kakhulu. Ngaya enombolweni. Inhliziyo yami iyaphela, izandla zami ziyazamazama. Ngikhonkoloza. Umnyango uyangena evuliwe - emngceleni ukhona emigodini ebhakabhaka ebhakabhaka ekhanyayo. Ngamafuphi, i-jeans ehlakaniphile ayikwazanga ...
Khona-ke waphuma embhedeni wathatha isithombe esikhwameni sakhe. Ungowesifazane omuhle nezingane.
"Lo ngumndeni wami, angisoze ngiwashiye, uyaqonda?"
Ngagxuma.
"Angikusho izwi kuwe." Futhi angizange ngibeke isimangalo kunoma yini. INkosi yanginika umuzwa onamandla kangaka - yimuphi umehluko okwenza ukuthi uzohlala isikhathi eside kangakanani.
Shayela:
- Sawubona, Uthando? Sawubona, Yebo, awungikhumbuli, izolo ngaya nawe esitimeleni. Igama lami nguJanos. Singakwazi ukuhlangana?
Ngithi:
"Ngiyaxolisa, angiqondi into." Ungobani?
Kwakukhona ukuthi egameni lokudlala lalikwazi ukubona igama lezemidlalo, waya lapho futhi wathola isithombe sami esithombeni. Asikhulumi neze. Kwakungadingeki. Lapho eshiya, ngisanda kumtshela. Kwakungekho ukudabuka, akukho buhlungu. Ngazimisela ukuxhumana okwesikhashana futhi ngidlulisela ukwahlukana kwethu kancane. Kwakukhona umuntu empilweni yami - futhi ngeke abe khona.
Sabe sesihlangana izikhathi eziningana eMoscow kwezinye izenzakalo. Waya ngisho ukungibona nami nomkakhe. Futhi ngangisekhonsathini yakhe. Ngangena ehholo lapho izibani sezivele zivaliwe. Angazi ukuthi wangibona kanjani. Ikhonsathi yonke ibheke ngakwesokunene sami. Khona-ke wathi: "Ngikuhlabelelele."
Kusukela ekhonsathini saya emotweni eyodwa. Esihlalweni sangemuva. Babamba izandla bese bethula. Babengakwazi ukukhuluma, sasingedwa. Futhi nokho basho okuningi kakhulu komunye nomunye-ke ngezandla.
Ngami kwakunguye kuphela. Angikaze ngizwe umuzwa onjalo wokuziqhenya, nakuba ngithandana kaningi.
Ngavumelana nomhlangano. Lapho ngimbona, ngamangala - wabheka cishe iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha ubudala. Ngicela:
"Mfana, uneminyaka emingaki?"
Uphendula wathi: "Ngeshumi nesishiyagalolunye.
"Njalo, futhi." Futhi mina - amashumi amabili nantathu, futhi ingane isivele ikhona.
Kodwa akuzange kumsabe. Futhi uthando olunjalo oluvuthiwe, angizange ngilindele. Sahlangana cishe unyaka, wenza abangane noTorychka, baqala ukucabanga ngomshado. Inkundla yonke yaseshashalazi kakade ukuthi nginoJanosh, wabuza: "Uzongena nini?" Wangihlangabeza emva kokudlala. Ngahamba yonke indawo ebhizinisini lami emotweni yami. Abazali bakhe bangimemela edilini lesidlo sakusihlwa. Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngithande umama wakhe, kodwa nguye owamisa ubuhlobo bethu. Lapho ngithola ukuthi nginendodana. UJanosh wafunda ku-MGIMO, futhi uthi: "Lyubochka, uJanosh angaba nekusasa elihle. Ungalimazi - unomntwana. "
- Kungani uphambene nayo? Phela, unesiphetho esifanayo.
Waphendula wathi:
"Yingakho, yingakho ..."
Futhi ngabona ukuthi akunamsebenzi ukulwa. Ngizolimaza impilo yakhe - uzongiphatha mina noJanos.
Ngakhala kakhulu, ngangihamba ngefoni ngivuthano, kodwa isikhathi siyaphilisa. Kancane kancane ngathulisa. Futhi uTol ngenxa yalokhu kuhlukanisa kutholakale uyise wakhe.
Uma umngane wethu jikelele ebiza:
- Ukubingelela kuwe evela kuCyril, ufuna ukubona ingane.
Ukuphefumulela kakade kuye kwavela ekuhlakeni.
"Yeka indlela okuyiyo!" Uye wadlula isikhathi sama-non-wash and nightless, manje ungabona indodana yakho?
"Ungajabuli!" Wahluke kakhulu, no-Masha, indodakazi yakhe emshadweni owedlule, ukhuluma, uyasiza.
Lokhu, ngokusobala, kwakungikhathaza. Iminyaka eyishumi yokungenabuthakathaka engqondweni yami ayikwazanga ukususwa ngisho noLevushka. Ngangifuni indodana yami. Ingane idinga ubaba. Ikakhulukazi umfana: emva kwakho konke, akuwona wonke umbuzo ongathunyelwa kumama.
Sahlangana noCyril, saxoxa. Mina, njalonjalo, ngithukuthele: konke kuhle kakhulu kimi, ngiphila ngokumangalisayo, isixuku sithanda, mhlawumbe ngizoshada maduzane. Futhi uqhubeka ephindaphinda: wayemthanda kuphela futhi manje ngimthanda. Ngithethelele, bathi, benza kanjalo ngenxa yobusha, ngenxa yobuwula. Nginike indodana okungenani ukubona. Kulungile, ngiyaphendula, kuphela ukuthi ungubaba - hhayi igama. Futhi ngokuzumayo uyanyamalala futhi, kodwa yini esingayenza? Asikho isidingo sokulimaza ingane.
Ake sihambe ndawonye Tolik kusuka enkulisa yasehlobo. Indodana yami yayineminyaka emine ubudala. UCyril noTolya bafika esitimeleni eduze komunye nomunye. Ngizibuka: Nkosi, yeka indlela efanayo! Futhi ngokuzumayo uTolya uyabuza: "Baba, ingabe uzoza kimi?" Futhi emva kwakho konke, akekho owamtshela ukuthi uCyril wayenguyise. Inhliziyo yami yaqala ukuphumula. Ngabona ukuthi ngenxa yengane kufanele ngifinyelele emphinjeni wokuziqhenya kwami. Ngami ngaleso sikhathi kuncane kunakho konke engangikucabanga. Ngangazi ukuthi indodana yami yayidinga. Futhi ngizobe ngandlela-thile ...
Nakuba, mhlawumbe, bekungeke kwenzeke kithi, uma kungenjalo kumama kaCyril. UNina Pavlovna wayenomdlavuza. Sifike kuye ndawonye, usinikezela: "Wena, Kirill, izinyanga eziyisithupha kamuva, washada Uthando. Ngithembise! "Wayeyazi ukuthi wayefa, futhi ukulila ngemva kokushona komuntu othandekayo kuthatha izinyanga eziyisithupha. Ngakho umbuzo womshado wanqunywa yedwa.
Bobabili uCyril (umyeni kanye nomkhwekazi), lapho bengenawo wesifazane, badangala kakhulu. Ngifake izandla zami bese ngifaka izinto ngokuhlelekile. Indlu yayizobhujiswa, eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule ayizange iyilungise. I-ovini ayivali isitofu - sasixhaswe induku ngenduku. Ekhabetheni lekhishini, ngubani ongahlali - kokubili izimbungulu nezintuthwane. Kwakudingeka ukushintsha isitshalo isikhathi eside. Isiqandisini sasihamba. I-plaster ekhanda yathululelwa.
Uthando lwathola imali yokudubula, lwaya emakethe, lathenga iphepha lodonga, isitenti, i-putty, upende. Usize umdwebi ukuba agqoke iphepha lodonga, upende amawindi namabhethri, usike amathayili. Umkhwezala watshala izandla zakhe nje: "Uthando, ingcweti!"
Yilokho ngempela umuntu ongcwele, ngakho-ke lo ngumkhwezala wami, uKirill Grigorievich, inkumbulo yakhe ekhanyayo, usanda kufa. Uma kwakungekho kuye, mhlawumbe sasingeke sihlale noCyril isikhathi eside. Umkhulu wayemthanda ngaphandle kokukhumbula futhi wangisiza kakhulu. Ngangivame ukufika ekhaya ngasekupheleni, umyeni wami wayesesevele ebona iphupho leshumi, futhi umkhwezala wayelinde: "Uthando, uzoba njani? Ngangifaka ikholifulawa oyikhonzile. "
Khona-ke uzothenga izimbali ngosuku, afihle emgodini, futhi ekuseni asevele etafuleni: "Uthando, lokhu kuvela kithi noKirill." Futhi njalo imali yokuthola isipho sokuzalwa izonikeza: "Thenga wena kimi okudingayo."
Ngikhathazekile ngomuzwa omubi wecala phambi kwakhe, ngoba wafa ngokushesha nje emva komyeni wami nami sahlukana. Umkhwenyana ugula isikhathi eside, kodwa kubonakala sengathi uvumelekile ukuba ashiye, lapho engenawo muntu wokubamba, akukho lutho lokuhlanganisa. Ngashiya, uCyril waqala ukuhlala nomunye wesifazane, uTolya - nentombi yakhe. Wayengakhathazeki nganoma ubani.
Ngakho ukuphila komkhaya wami kwadlula phakathi kokufa ababili: uninazala nomkhwezala. Babemangalisa abantu. UNina Pavlovna wayephethe umnyango ezinganeni ze-polyclinic. Kusukela ekuseni kuze kube sebusuku waphatha izingane futhi, ngaphandle kwebhokisi lamaswidi, umholo omncane kanye nokukhathala okukhulu, kwakungekho lutho. Umkhwekazi wasebenza konke ukuphila kwakhe esikhungweni sesayensi esivaliwe njengenjiniyela wezomthetho, eqondisa iqembu elikhulu. Ngemva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi, wangisiza ngendlini, ngithenga ukudla, futhi ngayipheka kahle. Akuyona indoda eyakwenza lokho, kodwa uyisezala. Lapho sasixoxa naye. Ngicela:
"Kungani uCyril engekho?"
Uthi, "Ndodana encane, othandekayo, ususwe ... Kufanele umthethelele."
Manje ngiziqhenya ngokwami. Ngabe uzobe ohlakaniphile - umphumela we-poumerila yayo yezomnotho. Ngingamnika uKyril ithuba lokuzibonakalisa njengomuntu. Ngangikhala ehlombe lami, bathi, uma kungenjalo, ke ngubani? Futhi ngathatha konke ezandleni zami. Wayengazizwa isidingo sokunakekela umndeni.
Kwakungekho ukukhanya, ukuvuka kwakusasa, wayepheka isidlo sasekuseni, wadla uThoshishi, wawayisa engadini, futhi kamuva esikoleni, wagijimela ezitolo, wayedla ukudla kwasekuseni futhi waya ekubuyiselweni kwezemidlalo. Ukusuka lapho ngagijimela ukuthatha uTolya ekhaya, ngondla, nginikela umkhulu wami ezandleni zami, futhi ngahamba ngisuka ekhanda. Ngabuyela ebusuku - futhi angizange ngikhathele. Uyajabula, ujabule: konke kuhle nami! Ingane yami yakhula noyise nomkhulu wakhe, futhi okubaluleke nakakhulu, akukho lutho kimi. U-Kirill nendodana yakhe bachitha isikhathi esiningi besiza ngezifundo, futhi babehlale bephethe izindaba kanye nezithakazelo ezivamile. Ngacabanga ngezinye izikhathi: ngiyabonga uNkulunkulu ukuthi ngabe ngikhulelwe. Noma nini lapho ebeletha, ehlelekile?
Ngamafuphi, indima yomfazi ojabule, ngidlala kahle. UCyril wazama emphakathini ukuba amukele, amanga futhi asho ukuthi uthanda kangakanani. Abangane bami babheka umona. Akekho owake wazisola ukuthi lokhu kuphila kwangithinta kanjani. Ngangingumpheki, uhlanzekile, umshayeli wesifazane, umshini wokwenza imali, kodwa hhayi owesifazane, othandekayo wami, oyedwa kuphela, engangikufunayo. Ngomuntu obuseduze, mina nomyeni wami sasikhona, ukuyibeka ngomoya ophansi, hhayi kahle, kodwa ngacabanga ngakho ngami.
