Alikho ihuku elingcono lenoveli eyimfihlakalo kunokwethula impicabadala ekabili. Angazi ukuthi ubani umbhali ohlakaniphile owathola kulo mhlahlandlela imfihlo yawo wonke umthengisi ozihloniphayo. Kumayelana nokuveza impicabadala (kungaba ukubulala endabeni yenoveli yobugebengu noma uzungu oluzodalulwa kumanoveli angaqondakaliyo) futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo wethule umlingiswa oyinhloko njengenye indida ngokwayo. Uma umbhali enekhono ngokwanele, uzofaka kumfundi ukudideka okumangalisayo okumenza ahlale enamathele encwadini.
UKarin Slaughter usengenile Indodakazi enhle finyelela kulelo zinga lobuhle ukuze lowo othokozisayo wakho ahambe kuleso sikhala esididayo sempicabadala ekabili.
Ngoba kummeli uCharlie sibona ukuthi iphunga lemfihlo since we presented with her profile. Imikhuba embalwa kanye nokuhlanya, okumbalwa okucashile… Isikhathi esedlule sika-Charlie siwumgodi omubi owamenza isisulu futhi ekugcineni waba owasinda, kodwa ukwesabeka okusindile kuhlala kuyizindleko.
Futhi uCharlie uyakwazi. Futhi lapho kuqubuka udlame futhi phambi kwakhe, emphakathini omncane wasePikeville, uCharlie ubuyela emthonjeni omnyama ngamaphupho abangelwa iqiniso elibi eliseduze. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho ekugcineni ecabangela ukuthi izimbangela ezisalindile kufanele zivalwe ukuze kunqobe ukwesaba.
Siqhubekela phambili singazi noma lesi sikhathi samanje esinogazi sihlobene kakhulu nalokhu okwedlule okuvuleka njengenxeba elingenamthungo. Kodwa sidinga ukwazi, yeka ukungabaza. Sihamba phakathi kokutholwayo nokusonta okuphinde kwakhiqizwe kulolo bubanzi beminyaka engamashumi amathathu lapho impilo ka-Charlie yashintsha khona nanamuhla okuphinde kwaphazamisa ukuphila kwezisulu ezintsha nezingenacala.
Kwesinye isikhathi uyaye uzibuze ukuthi ubani oyisisulu kakhulu, umuntu obulewe noma okwazile ukuphunyula ngesikhathi omunye elahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe.
Indaba ethusayo yengqondo emayelana nokwesaba ukusinda ngokwesaba, mayelana nokuhlukumezeka kukaCharlie kanye neqiniso, enenkani ekubuyiseleni izinkumbulo zakudala.
