Othandweni, njengasempini, zonke izindlela zilungile?
Ngesikhathi sokuvikela i-Odessa ngo-1941, abavikeli bedolobha bakha ngokushesha uhlobo oluthile lwethangi elikhanyayo - bahlobisa ugandaganda ojwayelekile ngezikhali. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izikhali zazingavamile: amabhodi okhuni abekwe phakathi kwamashidi amabili ensimbi yomkhumbi. Izikhali ezilula zafakwa kwamanye ogandaganda abahlomile, kodwa ikakhulukazi babephethe ngamadumi ezibhamu. Ngamafuphi, idolobha elivinjezelwe lenze ukubheja okukhulu kumphumela wengqondo. Futhi kwasebenza. Lapho amathangi athuthukisiwe engenakho ukusekelwa kwezikhali, kodwa izibani zawo zikhanya futhi ngaphansi kokukhala kwama-siren, ethuthela empini, isitha sabaleka. Ngemva kwalokhu kunqoba, izakhamuzi zase-Odessa zanikeza igama elithi NI-1 emshinini, elahunyushwa ngokuthi "Ukwesaba".
Ngendlela efanayo, manje izihlobo zami zase-Odessa zibiza amaqhinga omakhelwane wabo u-Alena, manje osehlela izimpi nomyeni wakhe. "Kuyangethusa futhi," kububula izihlobo futhi, ngokuvamile, bonke abakhileyo endlini endaweni yasePeresyp, eseduze ngemuva kwebhuloho, elibhekene nehhovisi lokubhalisa. Lapho u-Alena ememeza: “Sizodivosa. Yilokho-ke, sengipakisha izinto zakho!» - abantu abathanda ukwazi kakhulu bashiya amafulethi futhi bahlale emabhentshini, ngaphansi kwelineni elilengayo. Abantu bayazi: manje u-Alena uzoqala ukugijima ezungeza kuvulandi ojwayelekile, uzoshesha ehla enyuka ezitebhisini, ehudulela izikhwama phansi: “Ngithe: phuma! Ngeke kusale nelilodwa isokisi lakho endlini yami!” Uzodazuluka, adazuluke akhale. Uzoshaya izitsha: “O, awufuni ukuthatha inkonzo? Nami angidingi lutho kumama wakho! ”, Uzoyilahla indandatho — khona-ke zonke izingane ezingomakhelwane ziyifuna amaswidi, zizoqalekisa usuku lapho ... Isekisi!
Okwesithathu u-Alena eshadile, kodwa lutho. Uxosha abathembekile endlini ngemva komunye nomunye, ngisho nengxabano encane. Ngenxa yanoma iyiphi into encane, isebenzisa imisebenzi emikhulu yezempi, esabisa ngesehlukaniso. Ekuqaleni, umyeni olandelayo wethuka ngempela: kahle-hle, angasifaka kanjani isicelo sesehlukaniso? Uyakhala futhi: “Alena, ungakwenzi! Angeke ngikwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kwakho! Ngizokwenza noma yini oyishoyo. Konke kuzoba ngendlela yakho!» Kodwa ngokushesha noma kamuva ifika kuye: i-bluff. Ukubhejwa ngomphumela wezengqondo. Azikho izibhamu ezinkulu, azikho amathangi asabekayo, futhi akekho ozogijima ngaphesheya komgwaqo eya ehhovisi lokubhalisa - u-Alena, embozwe kuphela isambatho esibonakalayo sokunganaki, uyesaba ukwehlukana. Khona-ke indoda iqala ukuhlasela ngokuphendula: "Kulungile, uma ufuna ..."
Khona-ke u-Alena, elimele enhliziyweni, uhamba edolobheni lonke ukuze axolise kumamezala wakhe, ezama ukubuyisela othandekayo wakhe ngazo zonke izindlela. Futhi esebuyile, uyaphinda umemezela isitha futhi ugijimela kuye, evungama futhi ehewula. Kungani lo wesifazane ethanda impi kakhulu umbuzo ohlukile. Omakhelwane badidekile ngesinye isizathu: lesi siwula besingakaqondi kanjani ukuthi i-NI-1 kufanele isetshenziswe kuphela ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, uma zingekho ezinye izinketho zokubuyisela ukuhleleka? Lapho, u-Anti uRosa wasebenzisa indlela eqinisekisiwe ye-Odessa, kuphela lapho umyeni wakhe ehamba e-spree - izinto zakhe nazo zandizela lapha. Futhi u-Ivan Sergeevich wathi ngokuthula nangokucacile "Enye ingilazi - futhi awuyona indodana yami!" Lapho uTolik eqala ukugwedla kanzima. Ngakho banqoba. Futhi ngokuvamile, ukukhuluma iqiniso, i-NI-1 isebenza ngokugcwele kanye kuphela. Yingakho inombolo isesihlokweni. Njengesexwayiso.
