Imbali yam yoguquko yaqala kwiminyaka engamashumi amane. Ebutsheni bam, ndandimncinci kwaye ndikuthanda ukudlala imidlalo, umzobo wawusisithandwa sam. Kumashumi amabini anesithathu, ndatshata, kwasemhlabeni kamva saba namazibulo, kwaye emva kwesizibulo, kwaye emva kwesibini ndakhulelwa kwakhona-intombi enomtsalane ivele. Kula manqaku mibini ndikwazile iikhilogramu ezilishumi, kodwa ke andicingi ngayo, ndilinikele ebantwaneni lonke ixesha lam kwaye nditywe kwihambo ehambayo, eyayiza kuba nayo. Ixesha lokuba ndingahlalanga konke, sabele iklasi, kuya kufuneka uhambe emva kwenye, malunga ne-sking yakho oyithandayo kwakufuneka ndilibale.
Yonke imihla yayifana nomnye: ukunyuka kwangoko, isidlo sakusasa abantwana kunye nomyeni, emva koko sithatha abantwana esikolweni, kwaye sisenza ixesha lokuba abantwana bakhokele kwaye bakhokele kwiiklasi ezongezelelweyo, sasinjalo emva kwangokuhlwa.
Kude kakhulu esikolweni yayiyindawo yokubhaka, ndaba ngundwendwe rhoqo apho. Yayiyindlela efanelekileyo - ndalinda abantwana kwaye ndachitha ixesha lendebe yekofu kunye nekhekhe elimnandi, yandinika amandla.
Ukuhamba kwexesha, ndaqala ukuqaphela ukuba ndiyekile ukubeka izinto endizithandayo, kodwa emva koko ndayibhalela yonke into kwimowudi engalunganga yokuhlamba kumatshini wokuhlamba. Nangona kunjalo, ekuhambeni kwexesha, ndaqala ukuqonda ukuba le ngxaki ayihlambulukanga, umyeni sele eqalise ukundigxeka ngobunzima obuvulekileyo, kwaye ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuqala kwiminyaka embalwa ndiphakame isikali. Esoyiswa yiyo eyoyikisayo xa ndibona ukuba enye yeshumi elinambini yokuqulunqwa kweekhilogrem ezilishumi. Ndothusa kwaye ndothuswa ubusuku bonke. Ekugqibeleni, ndafika kwisigqibo sokuba kufuneka utshintshe into. Ndihleli ekutyeni kweMeditera, isuswe imnandi nomgubo. Oku kunike iziphumo-iikhilogramu ezisixhenxe. Ngovuyo, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndimeme iintombi ukuze ndiphumelele. Emva kokuchitha ubusuku obumnandi kwinkampani yeentombi ezintle kunye nokutya okumnandi, ndayifumana ekuseni endayifumana ikhilogram. Ukudiliza, ndathatha ukutya kunye namandla amatsha, kodwa ukuqhekeka kwakuphelisa ukophula, kwaye ndayila.
Ukususela ngexesha lokulahleka kwam ubunzima, kudlule iminyaka emithathu, kwaye ndaqala ukuyibona kwakhona loo nto iTeltay. Xa kunzima, ndafumanisa ukuba ndiphinde ndayifumana yonke into ngobunzima obunje. Ndandinokuphelelwa lithemba, unyaka kamva kwakukhona unyana wam omkhulu, kwaye ndifuna ukubonakala kakuhle kuyo. Ukuqonda ukuba ngaphandle koncedo akunakwenzeka, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiphendukele kwisondlo.
Emva kohambo oluya kugqirha, ndaye ndaqonda ukuba ixesha elincinci lihlawulwe kwimpilo yam kunye nesondlo. Kubonakala ngathi zonke izinto ezixhalabisayo malunga nabantwana zisemva kwe-illy ngasemva, sele zikhulile, kodwa okwangoku alikho ixesha. Ngokutsho kweengcebiso zesondlo, nditshintshe ukutya, ndongeza ukutya kwemifuno kunye nokutshintshwa iilekese eziziqhamo ezomileyo, zitya ngokungqongqo kwaphela. Ndongeze nobomi ebomini bam, ndithenge ibhayisekile, ndaqala ukuhamba ndijikeleza kwizitepsi, ndingasebenzisi inyusi.
Ngenyanga ndilahlekelwe ziikhilogram ezi-4 kwaye ndaziva ndingcono. Kwanomyeni waphawula, njengoko nditshintshe ngeli xesha, kwaye ndisaqhubeka nokunciphisa umzimba kwaye ndizibeka kubume. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, umyeni wakhe wandinika inja-ke ukuhamba kwemihla ngemihla kuye kongezwa kwimisebenzi yam.
Abaphumeleleyo bahlala malunga nenyanga, kwaye ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndikhethe ingubo yeholide. Ndamangaliswa yintoni xa zonke iingxaki zam zazininzi kum kuba ubungakanani. Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndikhuphe i-18 yeekhilogramu ezili-18. Ndijonge esipilini, ndabona ukuba ndimi phambi kwam kwakhona, nto leyo ndandingaphambi kwayo.
Phambi kweholide okokuqala kwiminyaka embalwa ndaya kwi-salon, ndenze i-hairstyle kunye ne-fapup. Ekhaya, umyeni kaObomlel, akundibona emfanekisweni omtsha, kwaye unyana wathi ndingoyena mama mhle ehlabathini. Bekumnandi kakhulu ukuba ekugqibeleni ndive la mazwi. Yayiyindlela ende kwaye enzima, kodwa ndiyavuya ukuba wabanjwa, "utshilo i-vartersburg.
