-Delile
Isikhathi samaholide siqala ngokuduma lapha emhlabeni wami omncane. Kuyi-Thanksgiving yokuqala ngaphandle kukamama, futhi njengoba isondela, ngizizwa ngithukuthele. Ngizoya kuphi, njengoba manje angisadingi ukujoyina i-turkey ekhaya lasebekhulile? Ngizizwa ngidabukile: Ngiyamkhumbula futhi ngizophuthelwa idrayivu enhle enqamula enyakatho neNew York, kodwa ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngeke ngiphuthelwe wusizi nokudabuka kokuhlala nabadala abajwayelekile, ngamagama e-sitcom yaseBrithani, "Ukulinda kaNkulunkulu. ”
Futhi impela, angenzi — esikhundleni salokho, ngizidalela ukukhathazeka nokudabuka. Ngenza lokho engihlala ngikwenza lapho ngihamba, ngikhathazekile futhi ngingedwa. Ngilayisha uhlelo lwami ngoba ukuba matasa kugcina ukudangala kukude. Noma ngicabanga kanjalo.
Ngilinde ukubona ukuthi abangane bami abasondelene banombuthano wabo ojwayelekile wokubonga, kepha kulo nyaka bazobona umndeni, ngakho-ke lokho kuphumile. Ngemukela isimemo somhlangano womndeni omkhulu womunye umngani, lapho ukudla kuzoba mnandi khona, iningi lomndeni ngeke likhumbule ukuthi lihlangane nami izikhathi eziyisithupha noma eziyisikhombisa, futhi ngizoba nethuba lokuxoxa nomngane wami futhi izingane zakhe, futhi ubone amandla amakhulu emindeni, njengoba sidla. Ngizobuye ngihlanganyele isandla ngezitsha, ngilethe izihlalo ezimbalwa ezisongwayo nebhodlela lewayini, ngibe ngumuntu wami onobungane, ohamba kalula.
Isonto lami lidla ukudla ngemuva kwenkonzo yamasonto onke yokubonga, futhi ngiyibhalisela yona ngoba kuzoba emini kanti isidlo sakusihlwa somngane wami singo-4: 30. Nginikela ukuletha amazambane acubuziwe, amazambane amaningi acubuziwe, ngoba umuntu akasoze aba namaningi kakhulu. Ngizojabulela ithuba lokuhlanganyela isidlo nabanye abantu abahlukaniswe nomndeni futhi abazizwe benesizungu. Ngifunda indlela yokuhamba ngingedwa esontweni eligcwele imindeni, futhi lokhu kuzoba yithuba elihle lokubona ukuthi ngubani omunye yedwa. Kuyangimangaza ukubona ukuthi ngisilangazelele ngempela lesi sidlo sakusihlwa, futhi ngicishe ngidabuke ngokuthi ngamukele isimemo somusa ku-bash omkhulu. Kepha ngikwazi ukukwenza kokubili. Noma ngicabanga kanjalo.
Bese kufika hhayi kuphela kodwa iziyaluyalu ezimbili: amacebo omngani wami omkhulu uMargaret ayashintsha futhi, khona lapho, nginikela ukupheka isidlo sakusihlwa sokubonga emini, ngiyeke uhlelo lwami lokubamba iqhaza esidlweni sesonto. Futhi cishe ngokushesha, ngithola ucingo oluvela kumngane ophethe i-bash, engazisa ukuthi isikhathi sesishintshile ukusuka ku-4: 30 kuya ku-1: 30. Ngizizwa ngikhungathekile, kepha ngokuqeda kancane, ngicabanga, ngisakwazi ukukwenza kokubili.
Ngimemezela kuMargaret ukuthi isidlo sethu sakusihlwa kuzodingeka sibe ngo-5: 30 kunokuba kube semini, futhi ngithembisa ukuhlinzeka izindunduma zamazambane acubuziwe esidlweni sasebandleni yize ngingeke ngibe khona ukuzodla — okunikezwayo kwamukelwa ngesibindi , futhi ngiyajabula ngokuthi usizo lwami luyadingeka. Ngithenga ukudla kwesidlo sakusihlwa sikaMargaret, ngidle ngezindleko, bese ngenza isu lokulungiselela nokuhambisa ukudla esontweni nasekhaya lakhe ngesikhathi sokufika ebhashini ngo-1: 30. I-Easy-peasy.
Ngibona amaklayenti okwelapha ngoLwesithathu, futhi sengikhathele kakhulu ukuxebuka nokuxuba amakhilogremu ayishumi amazambane. Ngithatha isinqumo sokuthi ngiyeke inkonzo yesonto ngivele ngishiye amazambane ngenkathi kuqhubeka inkonzo; Ngishiya konke ukulungiselela ngoLwesine ekuseni. Ngingakwazi ukuyenza.
Mhlawumbe ngikhathazeke kancane ngokuthi konke okulungiselelwe kungathatha isikhathi esingakanani, ngiba nokuqwasha ngivuke ngo-2: 30 ekuseni bese ngiqala ukuhluba amazambane. Ngiyazithola, namanye amalungiselelo, enziwe ngesikhathi esanele. Ngicabanga ukubuyela embhedeni cishe ngo-8: 30 ngaphambi kokuletha konke, kepha ngiyabona ukuthi uma ngihlala ngilele, bengingahambisa ukudla kuMargaret bese ngiya enkonzweni yesonto ngo-10: 30, ngaphambi kokuya ebhashini ngiye kwaMargaret isidlo sakusihlwa. Endlini eyakhiwe nguJack , ubuchopho bami buqala ukukhafula. Kepha ngiyazi ukuthi ngiyakwazi ukukwenza.
Futhi ngenza lokhu: Ngishiya amazambane, ukugxusha, i-gravy, i-casserole kabhontshisi oluhlaza, isoso se-cranberry, i-cider ekhanyayo, ne-turkey eno-Margaret, lapho ngibona khona ukuthi izinkonzo zami zamukelwa kahle. Ngilethe ama-latte ukuze ngabelane ngawo, kepha angimenywanga ukuthi ngihlale. Ngizizwa ngingajwayelekile, ngingakhululekile, ngibuhlungu. Ngenze umsebenzi omningi ukuze ngilungiselele lesi sidlo sakusihlwa. Ukuqhuma kokukhathazeka kimi: ngoneni? Endleleni eya esontweni, ngiphuza i-latte yami emnandi kakhulu, ngiza namathuba amaningi, ukwehluleka okuningana kimi. Mhlawumbe angizange ngenze ngokwanele, mhlawumbe ngangiphethe kakhulu ngokuletha ukudla, mhlawumbe kunzima kakhulu kuMargaret ukupheka i-turkey. Isiqiniseko sokuxhumana asisebenzi okwamanje.
Ngifika esontweni ngesikhathi sokufaka amazambane kuhhavini ukuze ngifudumale. Ngitshelwa ngumhleli wesidlo sakusihlwa ukuthi omunye umuntu uze namazambane amaningi acubuziwe. “Akazange abhalise,” kusho u-Ellen ngokudelela. “Ngiyaxolisa, bengingazi.” “Kulungile,” ngisho kancane, ngishaya indiva intukuthelo yami emfushane. “Mhlawumbe abantu bangagoduka. Nginokuningi engikudingayo. ” Uyavuma ngekhanda, kodwa ubuso bakhe bukhombisa ukuzisola. Mhlawumbe ubona okuthile ebusweni bami, into engingazivumeli ngizizwe ngayo.
Ngishiya ikhishi ngingene endaweni engcwele, lapho ngihlala khona ngedwa esihlalweni ngilalele isandulela, iqoqo lezingoma zokubonga. Ngiyaqaphela ukuthi ngubani okhona: imindeni emithathu noma emine enezingane, abesifazane abayingxenye yeshumi nambili abavela ekhaya leqembu, umpristi wamaKatolika ovela esigodlweni sendawo, umphathi we-Episcopal, ungqongqoshe wethu, nabantu ababalelwa ku-30 abodwa. Iningi lethu lingabantu abaseminyakeni yobudala ephakathi, abalungiswe kahle, abangamalungu esonto akhuthele. Njengoba inkonzo iqhubeka, ngibona ukuthi cishe sonke singlesesula amehlo ethu ngamaduku noma ngeKleenex ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene.
