Kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya cafe kwitafile elandelayo kukho inkampani enengxolo. Amadoda aye kwi-buffet rack kwaye, kuyacaca ukuba, efuna ukuwagxeka amanenekazi abo, kwaye kwangaxeshanye abanye, bakhwaza kakhulu ukusuka apho:
-Ngaba yintoni i-cognac? "I-Ararat" okanye eMaretel?
- Ewe, yiza kwi-cartel, - omnye wamanenekazi ophumeleleyo etafileni uphendule.
Imood ilunge ngakumbi. Ngokubanzi, uKatya wayecinga, iRussia kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya - umtsalane okhethekileyo. Khwaza, unxila ngokuqinisekileyo, okokugqibela, ezi ziselo zixabisekileyo ...
Kwi-puddles kwimfama engaboniyo, amafu aqaqambileyo abonakaliswa njengamaqhina oboya obuhlaza. Kodwa xa bathe basusa, isibhakabhaka samafu aqinileyo ekhephu siye saya kumnandi, umbala we-bluish yabantwana ... njengamamehlo kaKsyushkin ...
UKatnya wabhabha waya eDisneyland. Intombi yakhe umzukulwana wakhe, uKsyushka, uza kuza eBudapest yakhe, kwaye uya kuza nabo - omncinci eDisneyland, kwaye emva koko ayokuthenga, okanye ...
UKSyushka wayesisidalwa esimangalisayo seminyaka emine. UKatya wamthanda, nentombi yakhe, kodwa ayinjengomyeni. Ewe kunjalo, wayengayi kuvuma nabani na oku-abantwana ukuba bafanele bathande abantu abaninzi, kwaye abazukulwana babengabantwana abaninzi. Kodwa wayekuthanda kakhulu i-stas. Wayemthanda kangangeminyaka engamashumi amabini anesihlanu, xa wayeqalisa ukumkhathalela. Emva koko uKatya wayetshatile ngempumelelo, i-Stas isandula ukuphawula umtshato kwaye yayisithi, yithi, akukho mntu. Akukho mntu wayecinga ukuba uKakra uza kuphosela umyeni kunye nabazali bakhe abakhulelekileyo kwaye batshate, nangona amathemba asetyenzisiweyo, kodwa esele ingenasicelo. Ngoku kuyabeleka kwaye iphumelele, kwaye isityebi, kwaye indoda yangaphambili yabanjwa yayiphulukene nolu Bomi kwaye ayiphumelelanga konke ... emva koko ... emva koko i-STAS iyiyisa imibongo, kwaye Ukufunda ukuba wayekuthanda ukudanisa, wabhaliswa esikolweni ... bashushu kwaye bethandana, babesemncinci kwaye bonwabile.
Bonwabile ngoku. Yonke into yenzekile, kunjalo, kodwa wonke umntu wasinda. I-Stas yamthanda njalo-akazange athandabuze, kodwa kubutsha bakhe bakhawuleza. Akukho nto ibaluleke kakhulu, neenoveli, akukho nto igwenxa, kodwa abafazi amaxesha ngamaxesha bavuka ebomini bakhe, kwaye wayehlala esazi. Waziva. Kanye waziva i-natifome xa umyeni eze emva kweendibano ezinabahlobo, kwaye nini - emva kwe-sauna ene-babs.
Ekuqaleni, uKatya wayexhalabile kakhulu ngale nto. Bangena ngaphakathi, bezama ukuqonda: Yintoni lendoda yakhe, kuba uyikhangela ecaleni? Emva koko, qonda ukuba i-stas ibuyela ngokungaguqukiyo kuye, yaqala ukubhekisa kubaboleki bayo, njengomkhuhlane, ngamanye amaxesha kuyenzeka ngamanye amaxesha. Akukho mntu uqhawula umtshato wayo ngenxa yokuba uyagula ngamaxesha athile ukuba agule ngumkhuhlane?
Kwaye kubudala kunye neebhubhu zamisa. Kwaye akukho nto ityhandleni ubomi bentsapho yabo, ekhoyo kwaye bonwabile. Intombi yatshata, yaya eBudapest, yazala iKshukh, kwaye uKakran ene-STAS wayehlala kunye njengasebutsheni onzulu.
Ewe, hayi kunye. Kwakukho uChristoph. Iminyaka endala ngoku ikwiikrilesphesp, ilungu losapho. Inja ihlala ingulungu losapho xa ubomi obude kusapho. Yayingunyana wabo, njengokuba ii-Stas zambiza, imfusa icocekileyo, yonke ingqiqo kunye nokwamkela.
Apha uChristoph, mhlawumbi, ekuphela komntu otyhafileyo katnya kutshanje. Inja ithe cwaka ivela kubudala, i-stas, inamathele kuye, yaphambanisa kubuso belahleko.
"Ukuba bendilinde mna," uKatya wayecinga ngenqwelomoya. -I-STASM ingenakuhlangabezana nale meko ...
UChristof walinda. Xa uKata ebuyayo - okhululekileyo, enxibe zonke iimpahla ezitsha, efowunelwa kwintlanganiso ye-STAS-kwaye wabaleka egumbini apho walala khona, kodwa sele kubi kakhulu.
"Kuyimfuneko ukulala," wacinga ukuba uKatya, esusa ingubo. -Inja ikhathazwe ...
Isandla sibambelele kwi-raincoat, kwaye uKatya roza embindini wegumbi, evakalelwa yinto ...
Uhambe kancinci kwigumbi lokulala, wayemi apho, emamele.
Ewe, ewe, kunjalo.
Kwakhona.
Wakhokela umfazi.
Apha.
Kwigumbi labo lokulala.
Ekugqibeleni uKakra watsala i-raincoat ngamagxa, ehleli ebhedini.
Indoda ayizivumelanga ukuba wayengazi nokuba wayengazi ukuba angathini na ukuba usabele kuyo. Ngaba uthe cwaka, ngokungathi akazivanga nto? Sebenzisa isikrelemnqa njengoko ngamanye amaxesha kwenzeka ngaphambili?
Ngeli xesha, ngesizathu esithile sasibuhlungu ngakumbi. Yenze, iqaqambile mna Katya.
"Ngaba ukhona ikristale kwisibhedlele?" Ucele eyona nto ingathathi cala.
- Hayi, ndabiza ugqirha wam ekhaya.
Owu, yile! Ugqirha kunye nenkosi kwibhotile enye. Elonakalisiweyo kakhulu.
-Ulalile naye? -Kata wayengayi kuyithetha loo nto kwaye engayiqondi indlela ebethe ngayo.
- Ngubani, ikati? Uyintoni?
Kwakusemva kwexesha lokubuyela umva.
-Ugqirha, omnye umntu!
- KAT, ngaba unemozulu embi? Nguwuphi ugqirha? Ugqirha wayeyindoda ...
UKatnya wajonga i-STAS. Akazange afunde indlela yokuxoka. Ewe, waqala wakuqala yonke.
Ewe, ndayaleka. Ewe, kwafuneka ndiqiniseke ukuba awungebi shalil apha ...
Baye baqabula, kwaye yonke into yaya kumfana wabo. Kwakuyimfuneko ukuba uphile kwaye uzalise imisebenzi yabo.
Kodwa ngeli xesha kukho into engahambanga kakuhle. Ukuba ebutsheni bakhe, konke ukunyibilikiswa kwesini eshushu kwaye kwalityelwa ngokukhuselekileyo, ngoku uKatya wayengenakuphosa eli bali entloko. Wacinga ngemini yakhe nobusuku. Ekugqibeleni, ndafowunela eluqini, ndafumanisa ifani yabagqirha bezilwanyana, awathi babizile, baya kuye.
Ugqirha we-verina wajika waba ngumntu omkhulu, engacocekanga kakhulu kwaye akanamntwana kancinane, akunakwenzeka ukuba angenise inani le-stas enomtsalane. Okwesihlandlo sokuqala ebomini bukaKatya badalelwa esweni. Kwakuyimfuneko ukukhangela.
UKatya waxolisa emgceni, wathi okomzuzu, kwaye uye eofisini.
-IValentina Petrovna? Wayebuzi ngobunono. -Ndingumfazi waseStanislav Crrysanvich, khumbula, ububize inja? Inja yayisifa ...
UKatya waphawula ukuba upeyinti, owaqalisa ukugalela intamo kunye nobuso be-Darisa ababephulukene nesipho.
Ayikhathazeki.
UKatya wabandezeleka.
"Uxolo, ngenxa kaThixo, kodwa kuya kufuneka uye kwi-venereologist." Umyeni wam wosulelekile, kodwa wayengenayo ixesha lokuthetha. Khange ndicinge, uyazi ukuba kukho umntu ozila ngokukhawuleza kwibhedi. Ke musani ukumbambisa kakhulu, akukho ngongendawo,
I-Katyya iphume eofisini engakhange ingabikho nto kwaye ayinaxesha lokuthetha.
Kubonakala ngathi iphindezelwe.
Ulwaneliseko kuphela. Ngokuchasene noko, kwaza kwaoko kubi kakhulu.
Kwafika uKatya ekhaya. Wajonga amagumbi, ehamba neengcinga.
Ngokuhlwa, xa uStas wafika ekhaya, wabeka ibhotile yomphawuli eyayivela eFrance etafileni.
-Usiphi na isihlandlo esithile? -Imvana inyikima, ukubamba ukubanda kwayo emva kwesitrato ngezandla.
"Kufuneka unxibelelane," UKatya wancuma. "Uyabona, i-STAS, iyavela ukuba ndisabuhlungu kakhulu xa unditshintsha." Ewe, andinakwenza nantoni na nam, andiyeki. Kodwa awukwazi ukwenza nantoni na nawe. I-Polygamy, ewe? Kufuneka siqhawule umtshato, i-stasik.
Kwaye ngenkxokonkqeleka ndisibona isandla somyeni enamandla acekeceke i-wineglass ebuthathaka, iglasi evaliweyo kwi-vienna kwaye igazi laligalela ihempe, itafile, isandla ...
Imizuzu engamashumi amabini kamva, zombini egazini kunye ne-cognac, bakhala, bethatyamba ngokuqinileyo. I-STIA STADED STADER YAKHONA NGENXA YAKHE, BAQHUTYELA INDLELA YOKUZIPHATHA, BAQHUTYANA NOKUTHANDA NOKUTHENGA, BAMBANDLA NGOKUNYE NOKUTHENGA NGOKUGQIBELA KWAKHONA ...
Bafumana ke i-vet engacacanga, abaza kufumanisa ulwalamano nobokuqala kunye nababonakala bekwindawo yokugqibela yomntu.
