Nwana wa mina wa jaha Lennox, loyi angariki kahle enhlokweni a lave kundzi dlaya. Hikokwalaho ka leswi rivanti ra kamara ya mina rivaviseke hi ndlela leyi.Aringeta kuri tshova aku ulava ku ndzi dlaya. Andziri karhi ndzi kalakala ndzi lava ku pfuniwa.
N’wana wa mina lowun’wana wa jaha Kenneth a ringeta kun’wi khoma kambe matimba lawa Lennox ari na wona aya chavisa. Akuri ntshikelelo wovava swinene. Endzhaku ka sweswo ndzi ye eka munghana wa mina Constance kuya horisa mbilu.
Hi khinsamile hi matsolo. 'Ndzi pfuni, oh Xikwembu,' hi khongerile. 'Ulo nkulu naswona utiva mbilu ya mina, ntshikelelo wa mina. Oh Xikwembu, ndzi pfuni hosi. Ndzi kombele vana, kutani undzi nyikile.
Sweswi ndzina vana kambe swilo hinkwaswo aswi fambi kahle. Ndzi kombela undzi pfuna nakambe. Ndzi lahlekela hi ntshembo. Vana ntshembo wa mina, ndza ku khongela.' Endzhaku kaloko hi khongerile, Constance aku ka mina: 'Waswitiva leswaku kuna n’wana wa sathan? Se ke, wena u n’wana wa Xikwembu. Angele kule naswona mbilu ya yena ayi tiyanga eka wena.
Tiya exikhongelweni, hikuva nkarhi wunwana na wunwana, hambi loko u etlele kumbe u tikeriwa, una wena. Loko aku nyika kutikeriwa, kuna leswi aku lulamiselaka swona. Se unga lahli ntshembo. U hundze eka swotala naswona ari kona na wena. Utava na wena kufikela loko u hundza emisaveni.' Marito yayena yandzi tiyisile. Ina, iswilo leswi mbirhi, vanghana va mina na ripfumelo ra mina, leswi ndzi tiyisaka.
Kambe sweswi, ndzi endle swin’wana hi Lennox. Anga switivi, kambe hi musumbhunuko ti social workers vatata vatan’wi teka van’wi yisa e Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital. Ndzi burisanile na n’wana wa yena wa nhwenyani hi twananile, hi swilulamisile. Leswi swita ndzi pfuna swinene.
Waswitiva, exikarhi ka swilo leswinene hinkwaswo evuton’wini bya mina, kuna xilo xin’we lexi ndzi xitlangelaka. Hileswaku leswi ndzi vonakisaka swona e handle aswi kombi nhlupheko wa mina. Ndzi rhandza leswi ndzi vonakarisaka swona e handle, kambe swa tshembisa.
Kuna un’we loyi ativaka xiyimo xa mina laha ndzi nga yima kona endzeni. Van’wani avange koti kuswivona hiku ndzi languta. Waswitiva, swive kahle ku vulavula hi swilo leswi. Swa tika swinene, kambe ndzi tsakela ku swikhohlola swihuma. Nkarhi hinkwawo loko ndzi endla leswi, swi olovisa swilo eka mina. Swindzi pfuna ku hlayela vanhu xitori, xitori xa mina.
