Basa rangu guru raive rekutsvaga uye propaganda nekuti ndaive ndatove neruzivo rwebasa iri. Pamusoro pazvo, pano pachikoro ndakaona mafambisirwo akaitwa mushandirapamwe wokudzidzisa vana vechikoro kufarira bhuku. 

Ndakanga ndisisina zvakawanda zvokuita nezvombo. Asi ndiri chinhambwe chemamita maviri ndakanyatsorova target. Ndakagamuchirawo muhoro, wakakwirira somukuru mukuru wehondo muThailand. Ndokuudza phuyabaan kuti sei ndisina kutumira mari kumukadzi wangu nevana. 

Ndakaona kuti mari iyi yaizoshandiswa nani pabasa remusangano. Naizvozvo ndakadzorera mihoro yangu kumauto kuti ndigoshandiswa kuita zvimwe zvinangwa. Chii chaunoda kushandisa musango izvozvi?

"Yakanaka here seBangkok, shamwari?" Mai Rieng vakabvunza murume wavo noushingi. Kampan akatarisa mudzimai wake mudiki ndokuseka. 'Handisati ndamboona Bangkok. Ndinofanira kuzviziva sei? Chero zvazvingava, unogona kugara zviri nani ikoko kupfuura mumusha medu. 

'Zvakanaka, phuyabaan, unofungei? Ndichatanga kunyengerera vakomana vekumusha kwedu kuti vaende ikoko. Uye pashure penguva pfupi vose vadzoka pano.'

"Kana ndanzwisisa zvakanaka, uri mukominisiti," mudhara akadaro nekuchimbidza. 'Zvakangodaro. Asi isu tinozvidaidza kuti People's Liberation Army.' 'Aihwa. Ndinokurambidza, hausi kuzotengesa nyika yako. Zvakaipa zvekuti wakazvitengesa. Ndava kutora pfuti yangu zvino ndokusunga semukomonisiti.' Nzira ye phuya yakasimuka.

'Haa, usaite hasha. Watorerei pfuti yako? Ndinogona kukupfura usati wasvika pamasitepisi. Hauzivi kuti ndine pfuti here?' Kampan anofambisa ruoko rwake pasi pejasi rake asi haana chaakaratidza. “Ndinopira upenyu hwangu. handingakubvumiri kutengesa nyika yemadzibaba.'

'Phuyabaan,' anodaro Kampan, 'nezvekuda nyika yako. Nyika inoda vagari vanoda kuzvipira. Mhirizhonga iri munyika yedu nhasi imhaka yekuti tine vagari vakawanda vane udyire. Vanhu vakaita sewe, semuenzaniso, vasina basa nenyika. Unoswera wakarara nemusana uchimirira nguva yekukohwa kuti utore chikamu chegoho kubva kuvarimi. Unorarama nemari yekushanda kwevamwe. Ndiko kushandiswa.'

"Unondituka iwe," akachema phuyabaan nehasha asi haana kana chaakamboita achipikisa Kampan. Nekuti Kampan yaive nechombo naye uye yaigona kumuuraya pasina kupfura. Chaaifanira kuita kutora pfuti ndokumurova mumusoro. Mukuru uyu akanga asiri munhu anonyara, asi aiziva nguva yokuratidza ushingi uye paisingafaniri. 'Oh, unorevei kutuka? Ndakangotaura chokwadi. Kana kuti unofunga kuti ndinonyepa? Wanga uchibata zvisina kufanira basa rehama dzako nguva yose iyi. Semutsotsi, unobira vanhu. Izvozvo zvinonzi huori. Unoda kuramba izvi, woti hazvina kunaka?' 

Pshayaibaan akakanda mapfumo pasi achigutsurira musoro. Haana chaakataura nekuti kushora kwaKampan kwaiita seakajairika kwaari, kunyangwe pasina akambotaura chinhu. "Ndichakuregerera kana ukachinja hupenyu hwako." 'Unodei kwandiri?' anobvunza phuyaibaan achinyara uye nekusvotwa. Kutyira hupenyu hwake kwainge kwakangofanana nekushuvira kwake mari yekutenga rori diki. Yaifanira kuve yakakodzera kushanda setekisi, nekuti kana uine mota, mamwe masosi emari anongoerekana aswedera pedyo.

'Unofanira kutanga kushanda zvakasiyana worega kubiridzira nekubira varimi vakarejesa kubva kwauri nevanhu vakakwereta mari kwauri. Unofanira kubata munhu wose zvakanaka, kusanganisira vanhu vakaita seni!' 'Kana muchiida….' akadaro phuyaibaan ndokuda kusimuka asi Kampan akamusundidzira pasi. 'Iwe, Rieng, enda kumba kwake utore chinyoreso nepepa. Anofanira kuisa vimbiso yake pabepa. Usaudze mumwe munhu, iwewo wakatarisana nerufu. Bara rangu haritye munhu.'

Mudzimai wake akadzoka nechinyoreso nepepa. Hapana akanga aita hanya naye. Kampan akanyora pasi chirevo chephuyaibaan muchimiro chechibvumirano. Akaita kuti mudhara averenge ndokusaina. Pshayaibaan akateerera nemaoko aidedera. Ipapo Kampan akasainawo, uye mudzimai wake navamwene vake sezvapupu.
