Yintoni kanye kanye ekuPhila ngokutshixwa e-Itali ngexesha loBhubhane weCoronavirus

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Andizange kwiminyaka esisigidi ndiyiphuphe le nyani, kodwa yinyani.

Ngoku ndihlala kwindawo evaliweyo nosapho lwam-umama wam oneminyaka engama-66 ubudala, umyeni wam, kunye nentombi yethu eneenyanga ezili-18-kwikhaya lethu ePuglia, e-Itali.

Ngomhla we-11 kuMatshi ka-2020, urhulumente wase-Italiya wabhengeza esi sigqibo singqongqo ngenjongo yokunqanda ukusasazeka kwecoronavirus. Ngaphandle kohambo ezimbini eziya kwivenkile yokutya, bendisekhaya ukusukela oko.

Ndiziva ndisoyika. Ndiziva ndisoyika. Kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu? Njengabantu abaninzi, ndiziva ndingenamandla kuba akukho nto ndinokuyenza ukulawula le ntsholongwane kwaye ndibuyise ubomi bethu obudala ngokukhawuleza.

Ndiza kuba lapha kude kube ngu-Epreli 3-nangona kukho ukusebeza ukuba kungathatha ixesha elide.

Akukho bahlobo batyelelayo. Akukho hambo lokuya kwimuvi. Akukho kutya ngaphandle. Akukho kuthenga. Akukho zifundo zeyoga. Akukho nto. Sivunyelwe kuphela ukuphuma siyokuthenga ukutya, amayeza, okanye imeko zongxamiseko, kwaye nini yenza shiya indlu, kufuneka siphathe isiliphu semvume esikhutshwe ngurhulumente. (Kwaye malunga nokubaleka okanye ukuhamba ngaphandle, asinakushiya ipropathi yethu.)

Ungandivi kakubi, ndiphelele kwi-Lockdown ukuba kuthetha ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo kunye nokugcina abantu besempilweni, kodwa ndiwaqhelile la "malungelo," kwaye bekunzima ukuziqhelanisa nobomi ngaphandle kwabo, ngakumbi xa awazi ukuba bazobuya nini.

Phakathi kwezinye iingcinga ezizigidi ezijikelezayo entlokweni yam, ndihlala ndizibuza, Ndiza kuyenza njani le nto? Ndingazifumana njani iindlela zokuzilolonga, ukutya ukutya okusempilweni, okanye ukufumana ilanga elaneleyo kunye nomoya omtsha? Ngaba kufanelekile ukuba ndenza into yokwenza elona xesha lilongezelelekileyo kunye okanye ndigxile ekufikeleleni kuyo? Ndiza kuqhubeka njani ndiyinyamekela kakuhle intombi yam ngelixa ndizigcina ndiphilile kwaye ndisempilweni? '

Impendulo yakho konke oku? Andazi ngenene.

Inyaniso kukuba, bendisoloko ndingumntu oxhalabileyo, kwaye imeko efana nale ayincedi. Ke, enye yezona zinto zindixhalabisayo kukugcina intloko ecacileyo. Kum, ukuhlala endlini ngaphakathi akukaze kube yingxaki. Ndingumbhali ozimele kwaye ndihlala ekhaya mama, ngoko ke ndiqhele ukuchitha ixesha elininzi ngaphakathi, kodwa oku kwahlukile. Andikhethi ukuhlala ngaphakathi; Andinakukhetha. Ukuba ndibanjwe ngaphandle ngaphandle kwesizathu esaneleyo, ndingabeka esichengeni isohlwayo okanye ixesha lokuvalelwa.

Ndiphinde ndibe novalo ngexhala lam eliye laphela kwintombi yam. Ewe, uneenyanga ezili-18 kuphela ubudala, kodwa ndiyakholelwa ukuba uyabona ukuba izinto zitshintshile. Asizishiyi izinto zethu. Akangeni kwisitulo sakhe semoto ukuba aqhube. Akanxibelelani nabanye abantu. Ngaba uya kukwazi ukuthatha phezulu kwingxabano? Vula wam uxinzelelo?

TBH, yonke le nto yenzeka ngokukhawuleza kangangokuba ndisekwimeko yomothuko. Kwakukwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo apho utata kunye nomnakwethu, abahlala kwisiXeko saseNew York, bathumelela umama i-imeyile evakalisa inkxalabo malunga ne-coronavirus. Sibaqinisekisile ukuba sizakulunga, kuba uninzi lwamatyala ayesembindini we-Italiya ngelo xesha. Ekubeni sihlala kummandla osemazantsi welizwe, sabaxelela ukuba bangakhathazeki, kuba akukho matyala axeliweyo akufutshane. Savakalelwa kukuba ekubeni sasingekho kwesinye sezixeko ezikhulu njengeRome, iFlorence, okanye iMilan, sasiya kulunga.

Njengoko imeko yalapha yaqalisa ukuguquka qho ngeyure, mna nomyeni wam soyikela ukuba singavalelwa bodwa. Silindele oko, saya evenkileni, sipakisha ukutya okusemathinini, ipasta, imifuno efriziwe, izinto zokucoca, ukutya kwabantwana, amanabukeni kunye newayini — uninzi lwewayini. (Funda: Okona kutya kutyiwa kugqitywe ekhitshini lakho ngalo lonke ixesha)

Ndinombulelo kakhulu kuba sicinge kwangaphambili kwaye sikulungiselele oku nangaphambi kokuba kubhengezwe ukuvalwa. Ndonwabile ukuxela ukuba e-Itali akukho mntu ubekade egcina izinto, kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha sisenza uhambo oluya kwimarike, kuhlala kukho ukutya okuninzi kunye nephepha langasese kuwo wonke umntu.

Ndiyabona ukuba usapho lwam kunye nam sikwisikhundla esinethamsanqa ngokuthelekiswa nabanye kungekuphela e-Itali kodwa kwihlabathi liphela. Sihlala ezilalini, kwaye ipropathi yethu inethambeka kunye nomhlaba omninzi wokuzula-zula, ke ukuba ndiziva ngathi ndiyaphambana ndingahamba ngokulula ndiphume ndiye kubethwa ngumoya kunye nevithamini D. (Ndihlala ndihamba nentombi yam ukuba alale ngokulala kwakhe emva kwemini.) Ndizama nokucinezela ukuzilolonga kweyoga amatyeli ambalwa ngeveki ukulungiselela intshukumo eyongeziweyo kunye nokunciphisa iintlungu zam.

Nangona ndifumene izinto eziye zandinceda ukuba ndikwazi ukunyamezela ezi ntsuku zinde, ubunzima bexhala lam abuyi kuba lula ukubuthwala.

Rhoqo ebusuku, emva kokuba ndilalise intombi yam, ndizifumana ndilila. Ndicinga ngosapho lwam, lusasazeke phakathi kwamawaka eekhilomitha, apha kunye ePuglia nakuyo yonke indlela eNew York City. Ndililela ikamva lentombi yam. Iyophela njani yonke lento? Ngaba siza kuyenza ngaphandle koku ikhuselekile kwaye isempilweni? Ngaba ukuhlala ngoloyiko kuya kuba yindlela yethu entsha yokuphila?

Ukuba ndifunde nantoni na kula mava ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kukuba uluvo lwakudala lokuphila yonke imihla luyinyani. Akukho mntu uza kuqinisekiswa ngomso, kwaye ngekhe wazi ukuba yeyiphi ingxaki ezayo.

Ndifuna ukukholelwa ilizwe lam (kunye nehlabathi liphela) liya kulunga. Inqaku elipheleleyo lamanyathelo aqatha kukuphelisa ukusasazeka kwale coronavirus. Lisekho ithemba; Ndinethemba.
