Ini ndaigara ndichifunga kuti baba vangu vaive murume akanyarara, anoteerera kupfuura mutauri aiita kunge akamirira inguva chaiyo mukutaura kuti ape chirevo chakangwara kana pfungwa. Akazvarwa uye akarererwa mune yaimbova Soviet Union, baba vangu vaisatomboonekwa vekunze nemanzwiro avo, kunyanya iwo emhando dzakasiyana-siyana dzinotyisa. Kukura kwangu, handirangariri achindishambidza nezvose zvinondimbundira uye "ndinokuda" zvandakawana kubva kuna amai vangu. Akaratidza rudo rwake-zvaingoitika mune dzimwe nzira.

Rimwe zhizha pandaiva nemakore mashanu kana matanhatu, akapedza mazuva achindidzidzisa kuchovha bhasikoro. Hanzvadzi yangu, mukuru kwandiri nemakore matanhatu, anga atokwira makore, uye hapana chimwe chandaida kunze kwekukwanisa kufambirana naye nevamwe vana munharaunda medu. Zuva nezuva ndabva kubasa, baba vangu vaindiperekedza munzira yedu ine makomo kuenda kumugwagwa uri pazasi uye vachishanda neni kusvikira zuva ranyura. Ruoko rumwe rwakabata mubato rumwe rwuri kumusana, aindipusha achisheedzera kuti, "Enda, enda, enda!" Makumbo angu aita kubvunda, ndaisundidzira mapedal zvine simba. Asi pandaingoenda, kuita kwetsoka dzangu kwaizondikanganisa kuchengeta maoko angu akatsiga, uye ndaitanga kutsauka, ndichitadza kuzvidzora. Baba, avo vaive ipapo vachimhanya padivi pangu, vaigona kundibata ndisati ndarova nzira. "Zvakanaka, ngatimbozamai futi," akadaro, moyo murefu wake uchiita kunge usina muganho.

Paimba yekutandarira, ainditengera chokoreti inopisa uye kukwiza tsoka dzangu dzakagwamba nechando kudzamara vadziya zvakare. Tichingosvika kumba ndaimhanya kunoudza mhamha zvese zvandainge ndaita musi iwoyo ivo baba vakatandara zvavo vachiona TV.

Sezvandaikura, ukama hwangu nababa hwakawedzera. Ndakanga ndiri mudiki ari pwere, aifarira mapati nemitambo yenhabvu pane kupedza nguva nababa vangu. Pakanga pasisina nguva shoma dzekudzidzisa-idzo zvikonzero zvekutandara, isu tiri vaviri chete. Ndichingosvika kucollege, nyaya dzangu nababa dzaingogumira pakuti, "nhai baba, amai varipo here?" Ndaipedza maawa akawanda parunhare naamai vangu, hazvina kumboitika kwandiri kuti nditore nguva shoma yekutaura nababa vangu.

Pandakazosvitsa makore 25, kusakurukurirana kwedu kwakanga kwakanganisa zvikuru ukama hwedu. Sezvo, tanga tisina imwe. Chokwadi, baba vaive nehunyanzvi muhupenyu hwangu-ivo naamai vangu vaive vachiri vakaroorana uye ndaitaura navo muchidimbu parunhare ndovaona pandaiuya kumba kashoma pagore. Asi akanga asiri mu hupenyu hwangu-iye aisaziva zvakawanda nezvazvo uye ini ndaisaziva zvakawanda nezve hwake.

Akaita shuwa kuti isu takagara tine denga pamusoro pedu, zvakawanda zvekudya, uye nedzidzo yakanaka. Uye ndakanga ndisina kumbomutenda nezvazvo. Kwete kana kamwe chete.

Vanababa havana kutamba nekubata nevanakomana vavo uye vanamai zvirokwazvo havana kuenda kunotenga nevanasikana vavo. Kunzwisisa izvi kwakaita kuti ndinzwe ndine rombo rakanaka zvekuti baba vangu vakandidzidzisa kuchovha bhasikoro, ski, nezvimwe zvakawanda.
