UNhlanhla noSphumelele babehlezi ngemuva kwamakilasi bethamele isigcaki ngesikhathi senhlaba khefu. Lezi kwakuyizithandani ezinkulu nanoma ubani esikoleni engufakazi wokuthi laba bathandana ngothando olujulile nolweqiniso. Bobabili babenza ibanga likaMatikuletsheni. Yize babenza ibanga elifanayo kepha izifundo ababezenza zazihlukile. UNhlanhla kwakunguye omdala ezinganeni ezimbili zikaMbatha noMaKhanyile ongasekho, kanti naye uSphumelele kwakungumafungwase kodadewabo abathathu njengoba bona babeyizingane zikaZulu noKaMadlala. UNhlanhla wayebizwa ngaso isibongo sikamama wakhe kwazise uMbatha wayengakaze ahambise ngisho indibilishi le kwaKhanyile ukulungisa umonakalo ayewenzile. Yize uMaKhanyile ashona behlala ndawonye naye kepha babengazange bashadane. OSphumelele bona nabanye odadewabo babebizwa ngesikababa wabo isibongo ngoba uZulu wayezikhiphe zonke kwaMadlala. Bahleli kulesi sigcaki nje baziba la makhaza ashubisa umnkantsha bayazixoxela nangezabo ezithinta ezabantu ababili.

Yazi Nhlanhla angizizwa kahle kusukela kulezi zinyanga ezintathu ezidlulile. kubika uSphumelele esokeni lakhe ekhathazekile.

Kwenzenjani sthandwa sami, kukhona yini lapho kubuhlungu khona? kubuza uNhlanhla edidekile.

Sengihlushwe ama- morning sickness kwaze kwaba kathathu kanti nokuya ezinsukwini zami selokhu ngakugcina ngo-March njengoba kungu-July nje manje. waqeda ukusho lawa uSphumelele zehla mi.

Ambambe uNhlanhla amsondeze emagxalabeni akhe amshushuzele. Bese ethatha ethi: Musa ukukhala Sphume, konke kuzolunga. Akusikho ukuphela kwempilo lokhu. Ucabanga ukuthi ukhulelwe yini?

Akukho okunye Nhlanhla. Sengiyazisola ukuthi besingazivikeli ngani sonke lesi sikhathi uma silala. Kuphelile ngami, ngiphelile ubaba Nhlanhla ngiphelile. Zehle kakhulu kunakuqala sekushoda kona ukuthi ahayize kudume isikole sonke.

Azame ukumncenga uNhlanhla ukuthi athule uSphumelele kodwa kusho kona ukuthi le nto iwukhathazile umoya wakhe. Athande ukumphelela naye uNhlanhla amagama angawasho ukududuza umuntu wakhe. Kusenjalo kulokho kugodlana kwabo kukhale insimbi yokubuyela emakilasini.

S’thandwa sami ngicela ungakhathazeki kakhulu, konke lokhu kuzoshabalala ngokukhulu ukushesha wena owabona ukubaleka kwamazolo ebona ilanga. Athi ukuthula kancane besagodlene kanjalo. Abuye aqhubeke: Asisukume sihambe nathi ngoba nansi nensimbi isikhalile sizoxoxa kahle uma sekuphume isikole Sphume, uyezwa S’thandwa?

Avume ngekhanda uSphumelele ngenkathi besukuma bephikelele ekilasini. Babenganakile ngisho ukuthi ezinye izingane azisekho lapha, zithe zingezwa insimbi zaphikelela ezindlini zokufundela ngaphandle kokupholisa maseko. Besahamba kanjalo bahlangane noMnikathi okunguthishanhloko waso lesi sikole ezulazula eqoqa izingane ezisasele emnyango.

Nina nisatshabaza la niyajola, kade ikhalile insimbi. Lethani la izandla nginigwebe emibili khona nizokhumbula nakusasa ukuthi uma insimbi ikhala isuke ithi buyela ekilasini ngo-12:00 ayi ngo-12:30. Khangezani kubeka uthishomkhulu ephethe ipayipi ngesandla.

Bagwetshwe kanjalo, ezimbili umuntu ngamunye basuke sebengqasha sebephikelele ekilasini. Bobabili bangena emakilasini abo bafika othisha sebekhona. Kwaqhubeka ukufunda. Yize babekhona kufundwa kodwa ubukhona babo bafana neze leze ngoba kwakungangeni lutho olwalufundiswa. Konke okwakusemiqondweni yabo kwakuyile nkinga yokukhulelwa kukaSphumelele.

‘Ngizoqala ngiyitshele bani le nkinga ekhaya? Akekho kodwa umuntu ozoyizwa kahle lento. Ngizolwenze njani ulaka olungaka lukababa. Ngiyafana nosefile ephila mina. Oh hee ngake ngakubona ngakubeletha Nkosi yami engabe ngangenzani. Noma ngisikhiphe le sisu? Ngenze njani ngempela?’

Kuyima ekhumbula ukuthi kambe usekilasini uSphumelele ngoba esezwa izwi lika Memu Zondi esethetha. Asukume kancane esihlalweni engathi kunzima kwakunyakaza. Eseya kophuma ambize uMemu Zondi ukuba eze lapha kuyena.

Yini udliwa yini Sphume, awuguli kodwa? kubuza uMemu Zondi ekhathazekile ngoba ebona ukuthi engathi kukhulu okuhlupha umphefumulo kaSphumelele.

Kwehle oluncane unyembezi kuSphumelele ngaphambi kokuthi aphendule: ngi right Memu. ukusho lokhu nje amehlo akhe ayabalekelana nawaka Memu Zondi.

Buyela endaweni yakho uyohlala phansi, ungilandele uma kukhala insimbi.

Wahamba wayohlala phansi uSphumelele ezama ukubuyisa umqondo wakhe.

Nebala yakhala insimbi yokuphela kwesikhathi sokufundisa kuka Memu Zondi. Wathi uma ephuma wase emlandela uSphumelele njengokusho kuka Memu.

Wayelokhu ephikelela ngelokuthi akanankinga into nje udliwa ukukhathala, udinga ukuphumula.

"Ok uma-ke usho kanjalo akunankinga, noma ngibona kodwa ukuthi kukhona ongifihlela kona. Uma kwenzeka kuba khona okudingayo ungangabazi
