Pambuyo pa zaka 12 za m’banja, mkazi wanga anafuna kuti ndipite ndi mkazi wina ku chakudya chamadzulo ndi kumafilimu.
Anandiuza kuti: "Ndimakukonda, koma ndikudziwa kuti mkazi wina amakukonda ndipo akufuna kukhala nawe."
Mayi wina amene mkazi wanga anapempha kuti ndimuthandize anali mayi anga. Iye wakhala mkazi wamasiye kwa zaka 19. Koma popeza kuti ntchito yanga ndi ana anga atatu ankafuna mphamvu zanga zonse, ndinkapita kukamuona mwa apo ndi apo.
Madzulo ake ndinamuyitana kuti adye chakudya chamadzulo ndi mafilimu.

Mayi anga ndi m'modzi mwa azimayi omwe amangomvetsera nkhani zoipa ngati foni ikuyimba mochedwa.
“Ndinaganiza kuti mungakonde kukhala nane,” ndinayankha motero.
Anaganiza kamphindi, kenako anati, "Ndikufunadi izi."
Lachisanu nditaweruka kuntchito, ndinali kuyendetsa galimoto kwa iye ndi mantha pang'ono. Galimoto yanga itaima panja pa nyumba yake, ndinamuona atayima pakhomo ndipo ndinaona kuti nayenso anali ndi nkhawa.
Iye anaima pakhomo la nyumba, chovala chake chili paphewa pake. Tsitsi lake linali lopindika ndipo adavala diresi lomwe adagula pa tsiku lake lomaliza laukwati.
“Ndinauza anzanga kuti mwana wanga agona nane m’lesitilanti madzulo lero, ndipo zinawakhudza mtima kwambiri,” anatero akukwera m’galimoto.
Tinapita kumalo odyera. Ngakhale si zapamwamba, koma wokongola kwambiri ndi momasuka. Mayi anga anandigwira mkono nkuyenda ngati first lady.
Titakhala patebulo, ndinayenera kumuwerengera menyu. Tsopano maso a amayi ankatha kusiyanitsa zilembo zazikulu. Nditawerenga pakati, ndinayang'ana m'mwamba ndipo ndinawona amayi anga atakhala pansi akundiyang'ana, ndipo kumwetulira kwachisoni kunasewerera pamilomo yawo.
Iye anati: “Ndinkakonda kuwerenga zakudya zilizonse ndili wamng’ono.
“Chotero ndiyo nthaŵi yoti ulipire chiyanjo,” ndinayankha motero.
Tinacheza bwino kwambiri pa chakudya chamadzulo. Zikuoneka kuti palibe chapadera. Tangogawana zomwe zachitika posachedwa pamoyo wathu. Koma tinatengeka kwambiri moti tinachedwa kupita ku kanema.
Nditamubweretsa kunyumba, anati: “Ndipita nawe kumalo odyera. Nthawi ino yokha ndikukuitanani."
Ndinavomera.

Patapita masiku angapo, mayi anga anamwalira ndi matenda a mtima.
