Ulonwabo oluNgaphantsi lokuNxibelela ubucwebe obenzelwe wena kanye

Andinamahloni ukuthetha ukuba enye yeenzuzo ezinkulu zokupapasha incwadi yizacholo. Xa inoveli yam yokuqala, "Abantu abaseMithini," yaphuma ngo-2013, ndathenga into enye nje kwangaphambili: umsesane we-enamel oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka endandiwubhale ngomgca wokuqala - Kaulana na pua a o Hawaii/Famous are iintyatyambo zaseHawaii-yenye yeengoma zoqhanqalazo zaseHawaii, "Famous Are the Flowers," eyabhalwa ngo-1893 ukuvakalisa inkxaso kuKumkanikazi uLiliuokalani, ukumkani wokugqibela weziqithi. Incwadi yam yayiyintsomi yePasifiki yobukoloniyali, kwaye kwakubonakala kulungile ukuba ndinxibe esi sikhumbuzo saseHawaii, ukuba yayiyintoni kwaye yayilahlekile, esandleni sam. NgoMatshi, andizange ndithenge naziphi na izacholo. Kodwa abantu bandinika yona: umfundi undithumelele i-cuff yesilivere. Iqela labahlobo bam abasenyongweni ladibana laza landithengela umsesane- intaka yegolide enzima engqukuva, idayimani ezikhazimlayo zamehlo kwaye ijinga irubhi emile okwe-briolette emlonyeni wayo njengethontsi legazi- ukusuka kwijeweler eyaziwayo eseJaipur. Gem Palace. (Kwale ndalo kanye ngokwenene yayiphefumlele isacholo esifanayo esibonakala kwisahluko sokugqibela sencwadi.) Kodwa nangona kunjalo, ndandifuna iqhekeza lezacholo eziqhelekileyo, into yokukhumbula abalinganiswa benoveli, abaye bacaca kwaye bantsonkotha kum abahlobo bam: ngokuqinisekileyo kwavakala ngathi ndichithe ixesha elininzi kunye nabo kunyaka onesiqingatha endiwuthathileyo ukubhala le ncwadi kunokuba ndichithe nabantu bokwenyani. Kwaye ke umhlobo wam uClaudia, umhleli wezacholo, wandixelela malunga neleyibhile ebizwa ngokuba yi-Foundrae.Foundrae yaqalwa kwaye iyilwe nguBeth Bugdaycay, owayesakuba yi-CEO kaRebecca Taylor, kwaye iqulathe abasetyhini abalungele ukunxiba - i-silky, i-slouchy jumpsuits; i-micro-pleated, i-shell-pink chiffon skirts; i-knitwear edibeneyo enemingxuma kunye ne-slashs - kunye nomgca wobucwebe obuhle. Idizayinwe kunye ne-Leeora Catalan, uyilo lobucwebe lubandakanya ii-earcuffs ezimilise unxantathu kunye namakhubalo amile okwe-medallion, kodwa ezona ziqwenga zahlukileyo zi-enamelwork kwi-18k yegolide. Ngokukholisayo ubuninzi, beza ngemibala emine emele ukumela umgangatho owahlukileyo okanye isipho esifunekayo umntu ukufumana indlela yobomi: Amandla (obomvu), iKarma (blue), Iphupha (elimnyama) kunye noKhuseleko (luhlaza). Iziqwenga zeleyibhile zintle-zinomzobo, umgangatho wetalismanic ozenza zibonakale ngaxeshanye ziqinisekisa ukuba zakudala kwaye zinomtsalane zala maxesha-kodwa iBugdaycay kunye neCatalan nazo zenza umsebenzi wesiko, kwaye ngenene, ubucwebe bungcono xa busenzelwa wena kuphela. Xa sinxiba isiqwenga sobucwebe besiko, siyongeza kwilifa elidala njengamaRoma, amaGrike, amaPersi - amadala. Zimbalwa kakhulu izithethe ekunokuthiwa azizange zitshintshwe kwimbali yexesha, kodwa isenzo sokuzivakalisa kwihlabathi ngokusebenzisa ubucwebe yinto eye yanyamezela ukutyhubela iminyaka kunye nakwiinkcubeko. Asinakuphinda sibhengeze ngokusemthethweni umanyano lwethu lwezizwe phantsi kweeflegi okanye ngeenwele ezithile okanye imibala, kodwa sisakwenza oko sikhetha ukubonisa kwiminwe yethu, ezindlebeni zethu nasezintanyeni nasezihlahleni zethu.I-Bugdaycay kunye nesiCatalan bathetha kakhulu malunga nokungasebenzi. iimpawu zabo zobucwebe, kwaye ekuqaleni ndandithandabuza, nangona bobabini bekhazimle kwaye benobubele kangangokuba ukuziva nawaphi na amathandabuzo kwakubonakala ngathi kumnandi, ngandlela thile. Kodwa ke ndaya kubatyelela. Iiofisi zesiXeko saseNew York ze-Foundrae kunye negumbi lokubonisa zikwisitalato i-Lispenard, i-paseji efihlakeleyo, emxinwa esemazantsi eSitalato iCanal, kumda we-TriBeCa, kulapho kuhlala khona abalinganiswa bam: Andizange ndidibane nabani na owayesazi isitrato. ubukho, kungasathethwa ke ngaye nabani na owayephila kubo. Kwakubonakala ngathi lishwangusha. Ndenyuka ndaya kwigumbi likaBugdaycay- uhlala ngaphezulu kwevenkile, kanye njengokuba umthengisi wenkulungwane ye-19 wayeya kwenza njalo-kwaye yena noCatalan bandivumela ukuba ndifake iibhengele ezahlukeneyo ezihlahleni zam, mandizame ukukrazula amakhonkco abo amahle eminweni yam, ndivumele. bahombise iintsimbi zomqala zegolide ezicikizekileyo. Balinda njengoko ndisenza izigqibo zam, kwaye balinda kwakhona njengoko ndizenza kwakhona.Kwaye ke, emva kweenyanga ezimbini okanye emva koko, ukutyelela: ikopi yencwadi yam, amaphepha ayo ahlanganiswe kwisitena esiqinileyo, esongelwe kwiribhoni ebomvu kwaye ziziswe ngesandla kwiofisi yam ngesiCatalan (iBugdaycay ibingaphandle kwedolophu). "Vula" watsho encumile ndavula. Apho, kwibhokisi yesikwere iBugdaycay eyayikrolwe ngaphakathi kwincwadi yangaphakathi, kwakukho iipendenti ezimbini, enye inamagama abalinganiswa ababini abaphakathi, enye ino "Lispenard"; kunye neringi, enamagama amane abalinganiswa abaphambili, isithuba phakathi kwabo siphawulwe ngeedayimani ezincinci. Ndabeka yonke into kanye kanye, ngokuqinisekileyo: igolide yaziva ishushu esikhumbeni sam; Bendibuva ubunzima be ring emnweni wam. Babengekho ukuze bandikhusele, ngokuqinisekileyo, okanye bandinike amandla - kodwa bandikhumbuza, kwaye bandikhumbuza ngoku, ngento endiyenzileyo, into eya kuhlala iyinto yam. Yintoni engcono ukuyibhengeza ehlabathini ngaphandle koko?
