Abantwana [abazukulwana uElla May (7) noMabel (3)] baqhuba kakuhle. Andizange ndibabone abantwana abaziphethe kakuhle. Into oyivayo ngabo iyinyani kwaye ayihonjiswa. Bendikunye nabo iveki kwaye ke ndiyakwazi nokuxela okuninzi. UElla noMabel bayavana kwaye bafana namanenekazi amabini ngaphandle kokuphulukana nobuhlobo babo obufana nobuntwana.

Bendingqengqe esofeni ndinentloko ebuhlungu. Emva koko kwafika uElla May wathi, "Ungathanda ndikuphulule intloko, Makhulu? Bendimane ndiyenza lonto kumama wabe esithi ilungile kuye. Ngoku ndiza kukwenza i-massage.” Wafaka izandla zakhe emanzini abandayo wazibeka phezu kwebunzi lam elishushu nelibuhlungu. Oko kukodwa kwaba sisiqabu. Kodwa kwakuhlekisa xa ebuza njengesandla esidala, "Ngaba ukhetha ukuba ndiphulule nje, okanye ukhetha ukungcangcazela okukhanyayo okanye ukungcangcazela okunamandla?" Ndathi, "Owu, ufunde phi yonke le nto?" Wathi, baye benza kuye kanye xa wayegula.

Wathi uMabel akubona into eyenziwa nguElla May apha, ngoko nangoko wafuna ukubandakanyeka. Kwafuneka abaleke aye kwimpompo aze amanzise izandla zakhe. Ekubeni wayengazi kakuhle njengoElla, owayegxile ngokupheleleyo kwiindawo ezifunekayo, wandiphulula impumlo, amehlo nezidlele ngezandla zakhe ezincinci emva koko wajonga emehlweni am ngokunzulu: "Ingaba intloko yakho ngoku Ingcono, makhulu? ?” Ndakwazi ukuphendula ngokunyanisekileyo ndathi: “Ewe, sithandwa sam,” kuba la manzi apholileyo ayelungile ebunzi yaye ukuphulula izandla ezincinane kwakubangela ukuthomalalisa.

Ndizive ndisondelelene kakhulu naba bakhathaleli babini bancinci, abanobuhlobo kunye novelwano kangangokuba bekunzima kakhulu kum ukuba ndlela ntle. Ukuba ezi zimbini azizomvana zikaYesu, ngoko ndiyazibuza ukuba sifanele sizikhangele phi iimvana zomhlambi kaYesu. Yintoni enokuphunyezwa ngokufundisa aba bancinane kwasebuncinaneni babo. Into oyifundisile uElla iya kuba nefuthe elihlala ixesha elide kwaye iya kubonakala kuMabel. Ewe, isiqhamo esihle esisibonayo ngoku ngumphumo wembewu ehlwayelweyo ewela kumhlaba olungiswe kakuhle wentliziyo. Mbongeni uNdikhoyo ngokulunga kwakhe. lidumiseni igama lakhe elingcwele. Mariya, iNkosi ilungile.
