Mu mujyi wa Kigali, ubuzima bwakomeza nk’ibisanzwe. Imodoka zatambukaga zihuta, abantu bamwe biruka bava ku kazi, abandi bicaye muri cafés baganira. Hari ku mugoroba wo ku wa Gatanu, igihe izuba ryari ritangiye kurenga, umwuka mwiza ukonje utangira kuzura mu mihanda ya Kimihurura.

Kalisa yari yicaye muri café imwe nto akunda kujyamo nyuma y’akazi. Yari umusore utuje, ukunda gutekereza cyane ku buzima bwe. Yafashe tasse y’ikawa ayinywa gahoro, amaso ye areba abantu binjira n’abasohoka.

Ariko uwo mugoroba ntiwari usanzwe.

Mu gihe yari akiri aho, umukobwa yinjiye muri iyo café. Yari yambaye ikanzu y’umukara yoroheje, afite inseko ituje ariko isa n’ihishe agahinda. Amaso ye yari afite ikintu gituma umuntu atamwibagirwa vuba.

Kalisa ntiyamenye impamvu umutima we wahise uhinduka.

Yamukurikirikije amaso kugeza igihe umukobwa yicaye ku meza atari kure ye. Hari ukuntu yasaga n’utari umeze nk’abandi bose bari aho. Yari mwiza, ariko si ubwiza gusa bwamukururaga… hari ikindi kintu cyimbitse Kalisa atashoboraga gusobanura.

Hashize iminota mike, serveuse yaje kuzana ibyo umukobwa yari yatumije, ariko ku by’impanuka ikirahuri cy’umutobe kirameneka, umutobe usandara ku meza no ku ikanzu y’uwo mukobwa.

“Mana yanjye! Mbabarira cyane!” serveuse yavuze afite ubwoba bwinshi.

Abantu bamwe bahise bareba hirya no hino, abandi baseka buhoro.

Kaliza yubitse umutwe hasi nk’uwari usanzwe amenyereye ibintu nk’ibyo. Ntiyarakaye, ntiyanavuze byinshi.

Kalisa yahise ahaguruka yihuse, afata serviette ayiha uwo mukobwa.

“Ntacyo ubaye? Fata iyi,” yavuze amureba mu maso bwa mbere neza.

Kaliza yamurebye akanya gato, asa n’utunguwe n’uburyo yamuvugishije atuje.

Maze amusubiza gahoro: “Urakoze…”

Ijwi rye ryari rito kandi rituje, ariko ryari rifite ikintu gikora ku mutima.

Kalisa yicaye hafi ye gato kugira ngo amufashe gukuraho umutobe wari wamennye. Mu gihe bari bari kuvugana, batangiye kuganira ibintu byoroheje — ubuzima bwo muri Kigali, akazi, cafés nziza umuntu ashobora kujyamo iyo ashaka gutuza.

Kalisa yatunguwe n’uburyo iminota mike gusa yari ihagije kugira ngo yumve amwishimiye.

Ariko hagati mu kiganiro, hari igihe Kaliza yahise aceceka, afata mu nda nk’uwumvise ububabare butunguranye.

“Ufite ikibazo?” Kalisa yahise amubaza ahangayitse.

Kaliza yahise yongera inseko yihuse, nk’ushaka guhisha ikintu.

“Oya… ni umunaniro gusa.”

Ariko amaso ye ntiyavugaga ko ari umunaniro gusa.

Kalisa yakomeje kumureba, umutima we utangiye kugira amatsiko menshi kuri uwo mukobwa wari uje mu buzima bwe nk’umuyaga woroheje, ariko ufite ibanga rikomeye.

Bamaze igihe gito baganira, Kaliza arahaguruka.

“Ngomba kugenda.”

Kalisa yabajije atazuyaje: “Twazongera kubonana?”

Kaliza yaracecetse akanya gato. Yasaga n’uri kurwana n’igitekerezo runaka mu mutima we.

Hanyuma aramwenyura buhoro.

“Birashoboka…”

Yahise agenda asohoka muri café, asiga Kalisa akimukurikiza amaso.

Uko yarengaga mu muhanda wari utangiye gucanwaho amatara nijoro, Kalisa yumvise ikintu atari yarigeze yumva mbere.

Yari azi neza ko uwo mukobwa atari umuntu usanzwe.

Gusa ntiyari azi ko guhura na we byari bigiye guhindura ubuzima bwe bwose…

Ese urakeka ko Kalisa na Kaliza bazongera guhura? Ese nibahura bizagenda gute? KANDA HANO UDUHE IGITEKEREZO CYAWE
