Ngihlala maIungana nagogo wami etjanini. Sibukela sibungu sigucuka siba luvivane. Gogo utsi loku kubitwa ngekutsi yimethamofisisi kugucuka kwesibungu sibe luvivane. “Methamofosisi.” ligama lelikhulu. “Bukela, Yusuf,” Kuhleba Gogo.
Loku lokusamagobolondvo lapho lesibungu sibhace khona ayacetuka kuvuleka kancane, lucetu ngelucetu, kuze kube ngulapho kuphumela ngaphandle luvivane lolubovu nalokumnyama.
Loluvivane luyaphumula sikhashana, lomisa timphiko talo, ngemuva kwaloko lubhula timphiko talo luyandiza luyahamba. Gogo utsi tonkhe tidalwa teMvelo tiyatalwa, tikhule, bese tiyahamba tiya kulenye indzawo.
Tinyoni tenta njalo, nato. Tiyesuka etindzaweni tato tiye etindzaweni letifutfumele ebusika. Lelikati lelijinja lelibhungukile lebelilala kulomgodzi wetfu wesihlabatsi, nalo lahamba laya kulenye indzawo.
Ngifisa kwati kutsi ngitawukhula ngibe ngubani. Ngabe ngitawuhamba ngiye kulenye indzawo? Angifuni kwenta njalo. Make utsi sidzinga kusuka siye kulenye indlu lapho kunetikolo letincono khona. Loko kungivisa buhlungu.
Besihlala naGogo sonkhe sikhatsi. Uma sisuka siya kulenye indzawo, lengadze lensha kungenteka kutsi ingabi yemlingo njengalena. Kungenteka kutsi ngibe ngedvwa kulendzawo. Ngiyesaba. “Buka, Yusuf!” kwasho Gogo kakhulu.
Elubondzeni, lokusibukako, likati lelijinja. Lizuphela phansi libese liyahamba liya kulomgodzi wesihlabatsi. Liyatigoca kulesihlabatsi. Likati letfu lelibhungukile libuyile ekhaya. Ngincuma kutsi kungaba kuhle nangingahamba ngiye kulenye indzawo, nami. Ngingahlala njalo ngibuya ekhaya kulengadze yaGogo yemlingo.
