Hadalka iyo hawsha, wuxuu badin jiray hawsha. Gacantiisa wuu madax bannayn jiray.
Xornimo buuxduu siin jiray. Wuu u fasixi jiray in ay gabadha korkeeda ku faalasho. Tijaabo ka qaaddo, marba meeshii la macaata ku falaaddo, meeshii ka sii jiidatana uga sii rug doorsato.
Gacantiisu sida badan socdaalkeedaas sahanka ahi waxay ka bilowdaa sacabka gabadha ee soo xiga jirjirkiisa. Intuu sheeko macaan u saaro, ayuu labada sacab is duldhigaa, kiisa iyo keeda.
Hadday keeda la baxdo, wuxuu u qaataa digniin hore, iyo dayro bilawgeed. Hadday halkiisa u daysatana wuxuu u fasirtaa ‘waxba kama qabo’ markaasuu kiisa dhaqdhaqaajiyaa, labada sacab ciyaarsiis iyo dhoolatusad gaaban dhex mariyaa.
Waayirka korontada ee kobtaas ka dhashaa, marka uu labadaba korkooda diiriyo, dareemaanna in ay intii hore isaga dhow yihiin, ayuu sacabkiisu bilaabaa in uu gacanteeda kor u sii raaco, marka ay ka dhammaatana meelo kale oo istraatiiji ah uga sii gudbo, isagoo si xiisa leh u sii mushaaxaya.
Maxaddooyinka qaarkoodna ku sii nasanaya. Sacabkaas sahanka ahi socdaalkiisa kama soo laabto ilaa uu gabadha garbaheeda la soo wareego ee cududdeeda shishe soo cantoobiyo, jirkeedoo dhanna soo janjeeriyo.
Waxaa ku xigta daymo ilqabad leh iyo dhunkasho gaaban oo tijaabo ah. Haddii ay saaxiibteen intaas oo dhan ‘Haah’ uga jawaabto, wuxuu u ‘biisaa’ dhunkashooyinka gaagaaban ilaa ay isu baddelaan tii dheerayd ee la isla darandoorinayey; halkaasoo gabadhu ka bilowdo inay ‘hawsha’ wax ka qaybsato! Barbarkay ka baxdaa waa bakayla-qaleen! Gidaarkii qalada ee u dhaxeeyey halkaasuu ku dhalaalaa, sidii baraf qorrax la dhigay. Ninkii sidaas yeeli jiray, caawa wuxuu u muuqdaa si kale.
Waa kaas sida ‘jentel-maannimada’ ah u fadhiya, madixiina ku xanuunay siduu erayo u kala xulaayey, sheekooyin u allifayey, dunta afkeedii u raadinayey, marba shax hor leh u jeexayey, afkiisa iyo addinkiisaba u ilaalinayey, eraygii ka soo baxaba dib ugu miisaamayey, wajigiisa u maqaar saarayey, milicsigiisa u macaaninayey, keedana macnihiisa u akhrisanayey.
Sacabkiisii sahanka u bisa bisoon jiray, wuxuu amar adag ku siiyey in uusan habeenkaas dhufayskiisa ka bixin.
“Sahankii aad caawa Maana-Faay korkeeda ku aaddaa, wuxuu noqon doonaa shimbirtii dabka qaadday, ee buulkii hooyadeed gubtay, iyana ku gubatay,” ayuu ku waaniyey. Wuxuu qabey in nin kastaa gabar kasta ‘haye’ ka keeni karo, haddii uu garto sida la isula eegto erayga ku habboon, waqtiga ku habboon iyo meesha ku habboon.
Axmed isbeddel weyn ayaa habeenkaas ku dhacay. Isaga qudhiisu wuu isla yaabbanaa. Maxay ku akhrisay qoftaani? Maxay uga duwan tahay kuwii hore? Muxuu yahay xishoodka aan caadiga ahayn ee ay ku abuurtay? Maxay tahay qaddarintaan xad dhaafka ah ee cabsida u eg? Goormuu qaddarinta intaas le’eg siin jiray gabar uu shukaansi u hor fadhiyo? Goormuu ujeeddadiisa jidkaas dheer u soo mari jiray ee waqti isaga dhumin jirtay? Sow kii hablaha u yaraysan jiray sidii ilmo carruur ah oo uu ciyaarinayo.
Maxay tahay qoftaan uu kor u eegayo, sidii boqorad uu shaqaale u yahay, amarna ka sugaayo? Caawa isagii baa carruur isla noqday, arrintiisa la yaabban, ujeeddadiisuna u qeexanayn. Dhibaato kasta ha maree, dhab ahaan wuu ku guulaystay in uu Maana jawiga oggolaysiiyo, maskaxdeedana cabsidii badnayd ka saaro, inkastoo arrimaha uu kala hadlaayey ayan hoos uga gudbin sheeko guud iyo erayo maaweelis ah.
Marar badan bay erayadaas xiisaha leh ku illaaweysey dareenkii qalada iyo meesha cabsida leh ee ay fadhido. Laakiinse in yar kadibba intay soo gocatay kud isku dhahaysey, ee lahayd, “Yaakhey ma baxaynoo an waa daahaye?” Dhawr jeer la basan-basi. Marba saxanka loo baddel.
Markii dambase Axmed baa garab siiyey ee yiri, “Ina kiciya, Maana waa daahinnaye!” Maana-Faay orod bay ku kortay jaranjartii dheerayd ee gurigooda. Meesha ay cagta dhigayso, nalkiii ay ku arki lahayd in ay daarato way ka deg-degsatay. Mugdigii baa maja xaabiyey. Waqtigii ay dhaqaalaysanaysey iyo mid ka badanna ka dhumiyey.
In mar ka badan bay turunturrootay, kufidna ku sigatay. Nasiib bayse ku baxsatay. Markay kor sii aaddaba boodboodka wadnaheedu wuu laba jibbaarmayey, culayskeeduna wuu is dhimayey, siday iyada la ahayd. Markay albaabka ku sii dhawaataba, cabsidu way la soo cuslaanaysey. Haddaayey, markii ay buuqii Xamar-Weyne iyo xaafadihii ay tiqiin soo dhex gashay aad bay u rayraysay. Waxay ku faraxday khatartii Jungal ee ay ka soo samata baxday. Laakiinse markii gurigoodii u muuqday, ayay ku dhalatay cabsi tii hore ka weyn.
Waa markii ugu horreysey ee ay keligeed tobanka habeennimo ka timid meel aan la ogayn. Maxay ku hadli doontaa? Maxay isku daafici kartaa? Maxay ku marmarsootaa? Yaa ka rumeysanaya hadday ku andacooto, “Gabartii aan isku fasalka aheyn, duruustii aan la soo akhrisahaayey aa nala dheeraatay.” Shaki la’aan aabbe iyo hooyo saacaddaan way yaabban yihiin. Dariskana qayla dhaantii gaartay. Meel kasta “Maana-Faay yaa arkay?” baa la iswaydiinayaa. Alla ceeb badanaa, seen albaabka uga geli doonaa? Yaa i bitiya dabayl camal oo qolkayga dariishadda iga soo geliya. Alla Ilaahayow cawada lee i faki, dib dambe maba u nakhahaayiye! Ilaahayow indhahood iga sii jeedi, afkoodna iga xir, intiin ka moodaayo! Alla anigaayeey! Waa kanaa albaabkii jaa waa la xiray!” Markay iridkoodii ku soo dhawaatay bay soo taagtaagsatay.
Shanqartay iska ilaalinaysey. Albaabkii xirnaa bay is ag taagtay, iyadoo neefta isku celinaysa, wadnahana sacabka ku haysa, sidii iyadoo ka baqaysa in uu soo fara baxsado, feeruhuna celin kari waayaan. Markay in yar taagnayd ee neeftii soo ceshatay, ayay intay albaabkii ku soo dhawaatay dhabanka saartay.
Waxay is tiri, “Dadka buuqaya codkooda dhagayso.” Wax hadal ahba way maqli wayday. Meel yar oo albaabku ka jeexnaa bay isha saartay.
Mise daaraddii la fariisan jiray waaba cidla. Alla fiicanaa! Neeftii ku xirantay baa ka soo boodday. Indhaha iyo sacabbaday cirka u taagtay sidii iyadoo leh, “Nasiib badaniyaa!” Geesinnimadii soo gashay bay albaabkii gacan gadaal ka baqaysa tartiib ugu gargaraacday. Hooyadeed oo alaabtii fiidkii lagu casheeyey kala aruurinaysa, ayaa jikada ka tiri, “Yaa waaye? Yaah?” Mar labaad buu wadnaheedu bug soo yiri, inuu bannaanka u soo booday bay la noqotay. Sacab bay ku celisay. Jawaabtii bay la daahday. Dani waa seetee, mar dambay si miskiinnimo ah u tiri, “Ani waaye maama!” Yarkii Cumar, oo hooyadi ag taagnaa baa albaabkii ku orday, isagoo ku qaylinaaya, “Abbaay Maana. Abbaay Maana!” Aad buu walaashiis u jecel yahay iyana u jeceshahay, uguna roon tahay.
Intuu albaabkii fag siiyey buu lugaha isaga maray sidii uu waligi yeeli jiray. Iyana intay ku soo foorarsatay oo dhabannada ka dhunkatay, bay dhegta u saartay
la soco qeybta xigta
