Ushokoledi kaJeb

UJeb wayemusha. Engenaye noyedwa umngani. Wayenesizungu. Wayehamba edangele, ekhahlela amatshe.

Wayenoshokoledi ephaketheni lakhe, kodwa lokhu akuzange kusize. Wayesazizwa edangele.

Wayenoshokoledi kodwa wayengenabo abangani. UJeb wazithela phezu kwentombazanyana. Yayikhala. “E … ngabe kukhona engingakusiza ngakho?” “Cha.” UJeb wacabanga kancane. “Ngabe ungawuthokozela ushokoledi?” Intombazanyana yamamatheka. “Ngiyabonga.”
