Kudala kwakukhona umthengisi.Ubonakala enekhono lemvelo lebhizinisi.Uhlale elindele imakethe kusengaphambili futhi uphatha imali ngokucophelela.Ngakho-ke, eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu yokuqala, konke kuhamba kahle, kodwa kamuva, uhlala engena enkingeni.
Wayehlale ecabanga ukuthi abaqashwa bakhe bangamavila namavila, ngakho wabacindezela kakhulu, wabajezisa ngokuthatha iholo labo, ukuze bangahlali naye isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba bahambe;Ubehlale esola ukuthi izimbangi zakhe zikhuluma kabi ngaye ngemuva noma zisebenzisa izindlela ezingafanele ukuqhudelana.Uma kungenjalo, kungani amakhasimende akhe athuthela kancane kancane kulabo ancintisana nabo?Ubehlale ekhala ngomndeni wakhe.Wayenomuzwa wokuthi babengamsizi nje kuphela ebhizinisini lakhe, kodwa babemnikeza izinkinga ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Ngemva kweminyaka embalwa, inkosikazi yalo somabhizinisi yamshiya.Inkampani yakhe ayizange ikwazi ukuziphilisa futhi yashabalala.Ukuze akhokhe izikweletu zakhe, kwadingeka athenge indawo yokuhlala edolobheni futhi ayohlala edolobheni elincane yedwa.
Ngalobo busuku, kwakunesiphepho, futhi ugesi endaweni yomthengisi wawucishiwe futhi.Lokhu kwamcasula kakhulu umthengisi, futhi wakhononda ngokungabi nabulungisa kwesiphetho sakhe.Kuthe kusenjalo kwangqongqoza umuntu emnyango.Umthengisi, njengoba esukuma ngokuphelelwa yisineke ukuze avule umnyango, wazibuza: Ngosuku olunjalo, ngeke kube yinto enhle ukuba umuntu angqongqoze!Ngaphandle kwalokho akazi muntu edolobheni.
Lapho umthengisi evula umnyango, wabona intombazanyana emi emnyango.Wabheka phezulu wayesebuza, “Mnumzane, unalo ikhandlela endlini yakho?”Usomabhizinisi wacasuka kakhulu futhi wacabanga, “Yeka indlela okucasula ngayo ukuboleka izinto lapho usanda kuthuthela lapha!”
Ngakho washo ngokunganaki “Cha” waqala ukuvala umnyango.Ngalesi sikhathi, intombazanyana yaphakamisa ikhanda layo ngokumamatheka okungazi lutho, ngezwi elimtoti yathi: “Uqinisile ugogo!Uthe kumele ngabe ubungenalo ikhandlela ekhaya njengoba usanda kungena, wangicela ukuthi ngikuphathele.”
Okwesikhashana usomabhizinisi wafikelwa amahloni.Ebuka intombazane engenacala futhi enomdlandla phambi kwakhe, wavele wabona isizathu sokuthi kungani elahlekelwe umndeni wakhe futhi ehluleka ebhizinisini yonke le minyaka.I-crux yazo zonke izinkinga ilele enhliziyweni yakhe evaliwe, enomona futhi engenandaba.
Iikhandlelaethunyelwe intombazanyana ayizange ikhanyise igumbi elimnyama kuphela, kodwa futhi ikhanyise inhliziyo yomthengisi ekuqaleni eyayingenandaba.
