Xa iBarclays yayithandana, uJames wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane anesihlanu kwaye uSarah wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini.
Bobabini babenesini esinye. UJames wayenesoka elithetha phandle iminyaka esixhenxe. Esekwishumi elivisayo nakwisikolo saseJamani, uSara waye wathandana nomfundisi-ntsapho wakhe waseOstriya, engakhange abuyekezwe.
Mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba naye wayethandana nesini esinye, uSarah wayengoyiki ukuba uJames wayenomfana. Ekude nexhala, wayemthanda uJames ngokuchanekileyo kuba wayenesini esisibini.
USarah washiya isoka elinobuthi, elithandana naye iminyaka emine. Umfana awayethandana naye wayengumkhweli wesithuthuthu, umkhweli wamaza nomkhosi wasesitratweni. Wayenomkhwa ombi wokuyekelela ekubeni nekhwele aze agxeke nabani na owayenovelwano kuSara. Wayenomkhwa ombi wokutyelela iindawo zoonongogo kunye neendawo zokuphulula umzimba ezivuselela inkanuko.
Konke oku kwamenza uSara wadikwa nguye waza wamshiya.
UJames naye wadinwa ngumfana wakhe, nangona iminyaka embalwa yokuqala wayesazi indlela yokonwaba naye. Umfana awayethandana naye wayelikhoboka lempahla, lefashoni, lokuthenga, kwizinto ezingenamsebenzi. UJames wayengqwabalala, engafuni kuthenga, enxiba iimpahla ezigugileyo. Xa uYakobi wathi wayethandana noSarah, wasabela ngendlela embi kakhulu, etyelela iithelevishini ezingenantliziyo, ekhupha uhlanzo olumnyama kwaye eshiya umkhondo onukayo wamathe, inyongo kunye netyhefu.
Ngokukhawuleza ukuba uYakobi noSara bathandana, bagqiba ekubeni babe nomntwana, ongcono kakhulu, intombi egama linguZarah. Wazalelwa kwisixeko selanga, kwilizwe lenkululeko, kwaye wakhulela kwisiqithi saseparadesi, ekhuselwe kwaye ephethwe ngabazali bakhe kunye noonina.
Uthando olungalindelekanga nolungalindelekanga phakathi kweBarclays lwabavumela ukuba baziqonde ngakumbi. UJames wafumanisa ukuba usenako ukuthandana nomntu obhinqileyo aze amthande ngaphezu kokuba wayethanda amantombazana akhe kunye namakhwenkwe awayethandana nawo. Ukuze aqonde ukuba inxalenye yobudoda yobuntu bakhe yayinkulu kwaye ichumile ngakumbi kunokuba wayecinga. USarah wafumanisa ukuba angathandana nendoda aze amthande ngaphezu kokuba wayemthanda utitshala wakhe waseAustria ongafunwayo, ngaphezu kokuba wayemthanda ityhefu, indoda, isoka lehenyukazi. Ngamanye amazwi, bobabini bafunyenwe, kumzimba onikelweyo womnye, kwijografi evuselelayo yomnye, ukuqhuba kunye noxinzelelo emizimbeni yabo, kude kube lelo xesha, bebengayihoyi. Ngoko ke boyisa iziqithi eziyinkqantosi kulwandle olunebhongo lomnqweno.
Iminyaka elishumi elinambini sele idlulile ukusukela ngoko, apho abakwaBarclays batshate khona, bekuya kubonakala bonwabile emtshatweni.
Nangona kunjalo, kumaxesha akutshanje, uJames Barclays uvakalelwa kukuba umfazi wakhe uSara uhamba kude naye, uyamthanda ngaphantsi, unezinye izinto anomdla kuzo.
Kwiminyaka yabo yokuqala betshatile, babedla ngokuncokola ebhedini de kube sebusuku kakhulu baze bathandane rhoqo. Ngoku ayisasenzekanga lonto. USarah ukhetha ukunganxibi isikhafu ebhedini ecaleni komyeni wakhe: wangena egumbini ubuso bakhe bugqunywe ziikhrimu, wamanga okwethutyana kwaye waya kwigumbi lakhe ukuba aphumle. UJames uyacinga: xa esiza ebhedini yam ubuso bakhe bugqunywe ngeekhrimu, kungenxa yokuba akafuni ukwenza uthando: ukhetha ukhathalelo lwakhe lobuso olunenkathalo kunejimnastiki esele ixelwe kwangaphambili.
Ngenye imini, ngoxa uJames wayenesidlo sangokuhlwa esilula ekhitshini emva komboniso wakhe kamabonwakude, uSara wazama ukugungxula umgangatho wekhitshi, wagqabhuka ngumsindo, waza wagxeka uYakobi ngesibakala sokuba babengenaye umkhonzazana. Ngaphambili, babenezicakakazi ezimbini: enye yaseCuba kunye nePeruvia. Kodwa i-Peruvia yabuyela eLima kwaye ayizange ihlaziye i-visa yakhe yokusebenza kwi-consulate yaseMelika, ngoko akazange abuyele eMiami, apho kuhlala khona iBarclays. Kwaye iCuba iye yaya eBoston ukuya kuchitha inyanga nentombi yakhe, esandul' ukubeleka kwaye inomntwana. USarah ucinga ukuba uYakobi akafanele ahlawule isicakakazi saseCuba ngaloo nyanga kwaye, ehlambulula umgangatho wekhitshi, umxelela njalo ngethoni enomsindo. Wathula uJames. Akukho mntu uziva enetyala lokuba umqeshwa waseCuba uye wahamba kwaye wancedisa intombi yakhe ekubelekeni. Isizathu sokuba kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukumohlwaya, ungamhlawuli inyanga yonke. Xa uSara eqhushumbe kulo msindo womsindo ngokuchasene nomqeshwa waseCuba kunye nomyeni wakhe otya amaqanda amhlophe nge-caviar, uJames uye wacinga: akandithandi njengoko wayekade ethanda, ngoku ezi zinto zincinci ziyamcaphukisa kwaye zimcingele. .
Ngobo busuku, ngelixa uJames wayesenza umboniso wakhe weTV, uSara waphuma waya isidlo kunye nabahlobo bakhe abakhulu: iSpanishi kunye neColombia. Uye wadibana nabo ejimini, babonana ejimini yonke imihla. Umfazi waseSpain usemncinci, mhle kakhulu, uyindoda kakhulu, evulekileyo kwi-lesbian, kwaye uyamthanda uSara, umenza ahleke. I-Colombian yayitshatile, inhle kakhulu, ingokomoya kakhulu, inabantwana abathathu kwaye ikwayi-lesbian evulekileyo kwaye iyamthanda uSara, uyamenza ahleke. Bobathathu bayaphuma baye kwisidlo sangokuhlwa rhoqo. UJames uyabazi kwaye uyabathanda. Umfazi waseSpain ubonakala encomeka ngenxa yenkalipho yakhe, ukunyaniseka kwakhe, ubuhle bakhe obunqabileyo bobudoda. Umntu waseColombia ubonakala encomeka ngokuzimisela ukuba lilesbian emva komtshato ongaphumelelanga kwaye sele enabantwana. UJames akaziva esongelwa ngabo. Uyabafuna ngokwenene. Ubona ngovelwano ukuba umfazi wakhe unabo njengabangcono, abahlobo abasondeleyo. Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha uyazibuza ukuba akukho mngcipheko wokuba i-lesbian yaseSpain iya kuthandana noSara kwaye ivuse okanye ivule indawo kaSarah yobudoda, okanye ukuba i-lesbian yaseColombia iya kuthandana noSara kwaye ibuyiselwe. Yingozi yokwenyani, efihliweyo. Abona bahlobo babini bomfazi wam bangama-lesbians, umfazi wam une-bisexual, nangawuphi na umzuzu banokuthandana ngaphandle kokwenzakala okukhulu, ngokwemvelo, njengoko izinto zomnqweno kunye nothando zihamba. Kwaye ukuba oko kuyenzeka, uJames ucinga, yonke into iya kulunga: uhlala ekholelwa ukuba uthando luyinto engathandekiyo yokubonelela kunye nemfuno, kukhuphiswano lwasimahla, kwaye andinakuyekisa umfazi wam kwindawo yakhe yobudoda, indawo okanye ubuntununtunu. ibonakala isebenze kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, ijikelezwe ngabasetyhini abangawahoyiyo amadoda.
Njengoko uSara ecoca ikhitshi evutha ngumsindo, uJames ucinga: Ngaphambili, xa esiya kutya, wayendiphathela into ephuma kwindawo yokutyela, ipayi, ibele lenkukhu, itshizi yaseJapan kunye nesalmon roll-ups, kodwa ngoku akakakwenzi oko. undiphathele nantoni na, akasandiphatheli kwanto evenkileni: inokuba xa ehleli neetshomi zakhe zamabhinqa angasandicingeli, angandihoyi, alibale nokundiphathela ukutya? Okanye udikiwe kundenzela amaqanda abilisiweyo qho emva kwemini, kuba singenazo iimpelesi? Ngaloo ndlela, uSarah ukhathazekile kwaye uJames uhlala ethule, ekhathazekile, ezibuza. Ngokomzekelo, uyazibuza: Ukuba uSarah uthandana nomnye wabahlobo bakhe abangamafanasini, ngaba besingahlala sonke kule ndlu, okanye bekuya kufuneka siye kwenye indlu? Andazi, kumnika ivertigo ethile ukucinga ngayo.
Ekupheleni kweveki, iintombi ezinkulu zikaJames Barclays ziza kutyelela: uCamille ovela eWashington noPaula baseNew York. Baphuma baye esidlweni kwiparadesi yesiqithi, baneti yemva kwemini kwindlu kaJames noSarah, uPaula uthi ujonge phambili eLondon iminyaka embalwa, uCamille uthi uya kuvuma ukutshata kuphela emva kokugqiba iminyaka engamashumi amathathu- ezintlanu kunye nokutyikitya ukwahlukana kwepropathi kunye nesoka. Wandula ke uJames axelele iintombi zakhe ezindala ukuba yena noSarah batyikitye isivumelwano sangaphambi komtshato, ekuya kuthi kuso, ukuba baqhawule umtshato, akuyomfuneko ukuba uYakobi anike uSarah isiqingatha selifa lakhe. Xa iintombi zikaJames ziye zalala, uSarah ngomsindo uxelela uJames ukuba usisidenge, usisidenge, ukuba angabaxeleli ukuba basayine isivumelwano sangaphambi komtshato. UJames uthi: Kodwa oko kukufanelekile, kuba kubonisa ukuba undithanda ngokwenene, ukuba akuzange utshate ngenxa yemali. USarah ukhathazekile kwaye ayigqithisi ngokukhawuleza. Uya kuphumelela xa esebenza nabahlobo bakhe abangama-lesbians, xa ephuma ukuya kutya kunye nabo, xa esela iwayini nabo, ucinga uJames, ongaseli wayini, akaseli tywala, kuba yena. unengxaki yebipolar kwaye utya iipilisi ezixabana notywala
Basathandana ngamaxesha athile, yaye ngezo zihlandlo zinqabileyo uYakobi uvakalelwa kukuba usamthanda uSara. Mhlawumbi bathandana ngakumbi xa behamba, xa beseLondon okanye eParis, eNew York okanye eLos Angeles. Ebudeni bezo hambo, uSarah uyeka ukuya kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, ayeke ukubona abahlobo bakhe abathandana nabasetyhini, nangona bethumela imiyalezo kunye nemifanekiso rhoqo, kwaye mhlawumbi yiloo nto esondela kuJames. Kodwa, emva kwesi siqithi, uJames uyazi ukuba ubukhangele phambili kwijimu, iwayini ebomvu, iikhrimu ezibizayo kunye nabahlobo bakhe abadlula ngamadoda. Andikwazi ukukhuphisana nabo, abathandana nabasetyhini, abahlobo babo abanetattoo, uJames uyacinga: iindawo zabo zamadoda ziyodlula kakhulu indawo yam yamadoda esele iphelile. Ukuba uSara uyandishiya, ndiya kuhlala ndedwa kwaye ndirhoxe ngokupheleleyo kwimidlalo eyingozi yomnqweno, ukuhenda kunye nothando, uYakobi ucinga. Kwaye ndiya kumxhasa ngentliziyo yam yonke ekonwabeni nomfazi, ukuba oko kukuphela kwakhe.
