'Hairpin Bends' - nyaya pfupi naSuwanni Sukhontha

Ndinowanzo kwira neshamwari. Isu tinobhururuka mumotokari yake sekunge tine mapapiro uye ndine manzwiro ekuti tinogona kutyaira kuenda kudenga kana kugehena. Ndagara ndakamuratidza maruva emuroti anovhara migero uye ndinomukumbira kuti atyaire zvishoma kuti anyatsoona maruva iwayo. Vanoratidza runako rwavo rwegirinhi inopenya yakasanganiswa nepingi yakapfava kusvika pakupedzisira wava kuona michero mumaruva akasvava.

Ndinodawo kutarisa mashizha emuroti akapetwa. Pavanovhura vanotaridzika zvakasiyana: nyoro girini uye nyoro. Aya maruva e-lotus anotaridzika zvakanaka zvekuti hazvishamisi kuti vanyori vanoashandisa sechinhu uye vanoaratidzira pamadziro ematemberi. 

Tinotyaira nekukurumidza. Kuridza muridzo kwemhepo pamota paya ndinonzwa kunge ruzha rwechivanhu chandisinganzwe zvakanaka. Ndakaerekana ndafunga kuti zviri nani ndibude ndotyaira munyika nengoro yepurazi.  

Mugwagwa uri mberi kwedu zvino wati terereka uchienda kumusoro. Pandinotarisa kumashure ndinoona hairpin ichikotama pasi pevhu. Takabva tapfuura nemusango risingachazivikanwi sesango. Inoguma kamwe kamwe, uko nzira inoenda kubudiriro yakatambanudzwa. Masango akacheneswawo kuti kurimwe chibage. Iyi minda inotaridzikawo yakanaka, asi yakasiyana nesango rekare raungatarisira pano.

Imbwa dzakafa

Imbwa zhinji dzakafa mumugwagwa, dzakakuvadzwa nenyika dzine mota, dzakachekwa uye dzakabviswa. Ndinonyunyuta pamusoro pazvo asi shamwari yangu iri kutsvaga chikonzero sezvinoita vatyairi vose. "Haugone kubhureki zvakaringana, iwe skid worova imwe mota, uye unogona kuumburuka." Upenyu hwemhuka hahuna maturo kwavari.

Pamberi pedzimba dzevarimi, utsi hunokwira mudenga rakajeka. Vana vadiki vasina kupfeka vari kutamba ipapo, vachifara uye vasina hanya. Imbwa nhema inokwenya muswe kuti vana vanzwe. “Kudai iyi imbwa nhema yakanga ichangobva kufamba mumugwagwa, ungadai wakairova here?” Ndinobvunza. Anobvisa gumbo papeturu obatidza mudzanga. 

"Kana ndikatadza kubhureki nenguva, ndinofanira kumurova." "Zvakafanana ... Yuck!" Ndinotura befu ndokutarisa ndichirota ndiri mujinga megomo riri pamberi pedu. Zvinoita sezvinoumba muganhu pakati pedu nechimwe chikamu chenyika. "Dai ari mumwe wevana vako, waizomumhanyisawo here?"

'Oh! Asi zvinoenderana nemamiriro acho ezvinhu.' "Saka hupenyu hwemunhu hwakakosha kwauri kupfuura hwemhuka?" 'Zvakasikwa.' Ndakazembera pachair yangu ndapererwa. Kutaura zvazviri, zvaanotaura ndezvechokwadi. Munhu anokosha zvikuru uye anonzwawo mutongi pamusoro pemhuka. Asi, kwechinguva chidiki, uye ipapo vanhu vanozotora kodzero yekuparadza zvimwe zvipenyu. 

Takasvika musha uri mujinga megomo. Hazvichandishamise kuti kune imbwa dzakafawo pano. Dzimwe mhuka dzakapwanywa misoro. Matinji evhiri ane ropa. Vatyairi vacho vangangove vakanzwa kurova kusinganzwisisike pavakatyaira pamusoro pemhuka; kurwadziwa kwainzwa mhuka kunofanira kunge kwaiva kutambudzwa. Ndinogomera zvakare pandinofunga izvi. Shamwari yangu inondisimbisa ndokuti 'Ndichangwarira kuti ndisarova imbwa.' Ndinonyemwerera nekutenda.

Mhepo inondirova nepafafitera rakavhurika yoshatisa bvudzi rangu. Kunhuwa kwespray yangu kunopinda mumota yese. Ndinonzwa kunhuwa bvudzi rangu refu uye pandinozviita zvakare tose tinoseka. Kuseka kwedu kunoita semimhanzi. "Wakamborova chimwe chinhu here?" "Unorevei nokuti -chimwe chinhu-?" "Zvakanaka, imbwa, kana munhu!" "Unoti inga imbwa inokosha semunhu."

Ndinotarisa gomo richiswedera. Iyo yekutanga isina kujeka contours zvishoma nezvishoma inojeka kuti iwe ugone kuona miti. "Handioni musiyano pakati pekufa kwemunhu nemhuka," ndakadaro. “Unotaura sokunge wakafa kamwe chete,” anodaro. Ndakamutarisa ndomusekerera. Anobva angonditarisa obva adzokera kuroad kuti asarasa pfungwa dzake. Asi maziso ake anoshanduka kuita kakupenya pandinomupindura ndichiti, "Hongu, ndakafa kare."

“Zvaiva rini izvozvo?” anondibvunza. 'Pandakanga ndakasuwa mushure merudo rwehupenyu hwangu hwakarambana neni. Ndakabva ndanzwa sendafa kunyange zvazvo ndakanga ndichiri kugona kufema.” Mushure meizvi ndinoseka zvachose. Ndinogara ndichinzwa zvakanaka pandinogona kubuda muguta kwechinguva. Uye imhaka yekuti ndinobva kunyika.

"Ah wasiya wani?" anoseka. "I just think uri munhu anosiya vamwe." Ndinomutarisa ndichinzwisa tsitsi uye ndisina mhosva ndoti 'Aiwa, vanondiodzawo zvakanyanya.'

"Hongu, saka zvinoreva kuti watova nevatsvaki vakawanda." Handimupinduri asi kumusekerera. 'Ndinogonawo kuva muperekedzi wako here?' anobvunza nenzwi rakadzikama. 'Hey, chii ichocho?' ndinomubvunza. 'Ehe mudiwa wako. Usadaro!'

Ndinonyemwerera ndichinyara uye ndakatarisa makomo ari kukura. Ndinoona matombo, matombo, miti mikuru nemidiki iri pedyo, yakacheneruka uye yakasviba sepamufananidzo. "Ndiyo nzira yako yekuzivisa rudo here?" ndinomubvunza. 'Aiwa, uku hakusi kuratidza rudo, ndinongoda kuva shamwari yako yechigarire.'

'Ndizvo zvakafanana, handizvo here? Zviri nani ungotarisa makomo iwayo akanaka!' 'Usaita saizvozvo! Hausi kuona here kuti ndinoda kuva shamwari yako yechigarire?' "Zvakanaka," ndakadaro ndichibva ndamusekerera. 'Handingaiti hungu nokukurumidza here?' “Chokwadi,” anopindura kudaro.

'Honai imwe imbwa yarohwa nemota' ndobva ndamunongedzera chitunha chaora. "Hapana arikuona here?" Anonzvenga chitunha. 'Kana izvi zvikaitika mumusha mangu,' ndinomuudza kudaro, 'saka mumwe munhu angadai akamuviga kumucheto kwenzira kare kare. Asi pano hapana ane hanya uye vanosiya imbwa ichiora nezuva kusvika pasina chasara. Uri kuona here kuti munhu ane utsinye?' 'Kudai aiva munhu,' anodaro, 'vangadai vasina kuisiya yakadaro. Netsitsi vaizobvisa munhu akafa mumugwagwa.'

Tinotyaira motokari tichipfuura mugomo toona gomo rinotevera richisvika pamhene totyaira tichiendako. 'Musaramba muchitaura nezvorufu; Tava rwendo rwokuenda kumakomo!' 'Kusango rinogara rakasvibira here?' ndinomubvunza. 'Kwete, kuKhao-Yai, gomo guru. Unobva wangozvionera wega kuti yakasvibira here. Asi...' ndokubva andibata ruoko ndokuti nemwenje mumaziso ake 'kana tasvika pamusoro pegomo ndinoda kukutsvoda.'

"Wakaerekana wazviona sei?" "Zvakanaka, kusimbisa uye kupemberera hushamwari hwedu." Ndinonyemwerera. Ndinoerekana ndazadzwa nechido ndokuti, 'Asi unofanira kutanga wandivimbisa chimwe chinhu.' 'Ko zvino?' anobvunza. 'Kuti unoita nepaunogona napo kuti usarove kana kuuraya chero munhu kana chimwe chinhu. Uye kana iwe wakanyanya kumhanyisa imbwa, handikusiye…' 'Kutsvoda!' anopedzisa chirevo. "Zvino kana ndikachengeta chivimbiso changu, uchachengeta chako here?" Ndinosimudza zvigunwe zviviri ndichiita sendinopika.

Tinotyaira zvishoma nezvishoma tichikwira materu. Ndinotarisa pasi uye ndinogona kuona zvisina kujeka hairpin chena inokotama munzira pakati pemiti ne bamboo. Mugomba rakadzika-dzika riri pasi pedu, misoro yemiti inoumba kapeti yegirini. Tinomira pamuganhu wenzvimbo inochengeterwa mhuka. Pazasi pedu tinoona makore achiyangarara pamusoro pemakomo. Heino maonero; chikwangwani chinoti "wide view".

Chiratidzo ichocho chinondigumbura; Ndinofanira kunakidzwa nekuona panoramic pano yenzvimbo dzese? Kune vanhu vazhinji vanowana chimwe chinhu chakanaka chekunakidzwa nekutora mifananidzo nekuda kwechiratidzo ichocho. Ndosaka ndichinzvenga nzvimbo iyi ndodzokera kumota. “Tava pamusoro zvino,” shamwari yangu inondiyeuchidza nezvevimbiso yacho. Ndinogutsurira, nokuti nzeve dzangu dzinoramba dzakavharwa nemaoko maviri nokuda kwemhepo. 

Mwenje mumaziso ake anoramba aripo pandinogara padivi pake. Anotora ruoko rwangu orutsvoda. Ndakafinyamisa kumeso ndofunga kuti ruoko rwangu ruchiri kunhuwirira perfume yangu here. Ari kunhuwidza ruoko rwangu here? Ndinodzosa ruoko rwangu nekuti handidi kuti atungamire neruoko rumwe. Maruva epepuru ari munzira anofamba zvakanaka sevanotamba. Vanondiyedza kuti nditore imwe, asi hazvibvumidzwe nekuti iyi inzvimbo inochengeterwa mhuka. Kutinhira kwemapopoma kunorira semimhanzi yemusango.

Arikuzonditsvoda kupi chaizvo, ndofunga. Hapana nzvimbo yakanyarara pamusoro pegomo. Kune gorofu, resitorendi, dzimba dzezhizha uye zvichingodaro. Handizivi kwaanogona kundiratidza manzwiro ake. Ndinomutarisa nedivi. Haataridzi zvakaipa zvachose! Hameno kuti ndinomuda here. Asi pakupedzisira izvo hazvina basa nekuti Amai Nature vachatiudza kuti hukama uhwu huchafamba sei uye kuti rudo here kana kuti chishuwo chinobatanidzwa.

Kuda achanditsvoda pamuromo, asi kana rudo rukasatipfachura ndipo pasisina kunaka sedoro rekare. Kana kuti anonditsvoda pahuma? Isu tinokwira kumusoro uye kumusoro. Shamwari yangu iri kuhon'era rwiyo asi handizivi kuti rwiyo rwupi. "Dai ndaigona kupaka pano, ndaibva ndazadzisa vimbiso yenyu," anodaro ndokundibata ruoko. Ruoko rwake runodziya sokutarira kwake.

Mugwagwa zvino unodzika mawere. Mabhendekete ane ngozi zvikuru uye anorembera pamusoro pegomba rakadzika-dzika asi anochengeta ruoko rwake paruoko rwangu. Anoda kundipuruzira here tisati tasvika pachinangwa chedu?

Kamhembwe kadiki kanoerekana kachimhanya kachibuda mugwenzi kachiuya kwatiri. Ndisati ndaziva akamira pakati pemota. Nomuzvarirwo ndinodanidzira kuti 'Chenjerai!' Neruoko rumwe chete anotenderedza vhiri otsveta. Anotadza kudzora motokari ari mugoronga rine ngozi.

Nazvino haasati ambondiregedza ruoko rwangu. Uye sezvatinowira mugomba rakadzika-dzika nemotokari, zvinopinda mupfungwa dzangu ndisati ndafenda: Pane munhu achaisa zvitunha zvedu parutivi here? Hatisi kuzosara tichiwora sembwa dzese dzevarombo dzatakaona dzakarara munzira?
