Amantombazana amathathu ahleli ecaleni kwam akhwaza, exhumaxhuma akhomba emva kwam ngoloyiko. Izihlwele zabafundi abathethayo zathi cwaka zajika zajonga. Abahlobo bam baqala ukubuyela umva, bendishiya ngasemva ndivule amehlo.
Ndijonge ngasemva, ndinexhala lokuba ndisemngciphekweni, ukuba iGrim Reaper ibangela lo mboniso embindini wekholeji yam yekholeji. Endaweni yoko, into endiyifumeneyo yile: ikati encinci emnyama ehamba emva kwam. Amehlo akhe aluhlaza oqaqambileyo ayekhazimla lilanga. Umsila wakhe washukuma, njengamaza emoyeni.
Molo apho! Ndiye ndankcunkca, andikwazi ukuxhathisa.
Ndaphakama kwindawo yam ndaza ndadibana nombala we-inki embala. Undikhumbuze ikati lam elimnyama eliyinkwenkwe ekhaya, nto leyo ibindenze ndangcangcazela kuba le ibiyiveki yam yokuqala ndisekholejini. I-Nostalgia ibisoloko inefuthe elinamandla kum.
Ndihleli phantsi eblacktop eshushu ejikeleze ingca, ngelixa ikati indivumela ukuba ndiyiphathe. Wajikeleza macala onke endirhangqa, ephulula impumlo yakhe kwiingalo zengalo yam.
Anna, ufana neKiki! wakhwaza omnye wamaqabane am, erhubuluza esondela.
Kiki? omnye wabuza.
Uyazi, igqwirha.
Ngephanyazo, ndaphinda ndabuyiselwa kulandelelwano lobomi bam.

Besingenazo iziteshi ezininzi kumabonwakude wethu omnyama we-boxy. Ukuba ndikhumbula ngokuchanekileyo, babelishumi kuphela. Ndandineminyaka emalunga nemithathu ubudala ngelo xesha, ke oku kungabikho kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo akuzange kuyibonakalise iminqweno yam. Ndikhathalele kuphela itshaneli yomntwana omnye; leyo ngamanye amaxesha iya kubonisa imovie ye-anime kunye nemidlalo yeTV.
Ndikhumbula imisebenzi emibini ye-anime ngezo ntsuku: INyanga yoLwandle kwaye Inkonzo yokuhanjiswa kweKiki . Le yokugqibela yaboniswa kube kanye kwaye andililibalanga umzuzu wokuba ndiqale ukuqhelana noKiki.
Wayeyintombazana yokuqala encinci endayibeka kwisiseko, ndimtyala engqondweni yam njengomzekelo. Ndacinga, Ulungile njengamakhwenkwe. U-Kiki wayengoyiki, ethanda, kwaye ezimeleyo.
Nangona ndandingayazi ngelo xesha, uKiki wayeyintlantsi eyayivutha umlilo wam. Lo mlinganiswa undenze ndazingca ngokuba ndiyintombazana encinci engaqhelekanga. Ukuze ube ngumntu owayethanda ukubamba amasele elokhwe, nxiba iibhutsi ezincinane zamadoda zokwakha, kwaye udanise ujikeleze iyadi engaphambili ze. I-Kiki yandenza ndafuna ukuqhubeka nokudanisa, ngandlela zonke.
Eli gqwirha le-anime landifundisa ukuba (kwaye kunjalo) kulungile ukwamkela ii-quirks zam kwaye kungcono nokuba ndingafumana inkululeko ngaphakathi kubo.

Njengoko isikrini sihamba kumhlaba weenduli, sibona ibhinqa eliselula lilele engceni. Unxibe ilokhwe eluhlaza kunye nefaskoti epinki. Ukuqwalaselwa kwakhe kugxile kwirediyo ebomvu, edlulisa ingxelo yemozulu yangokuhlwa.
Xa esiva ukuba iya kuba bubusuku obucace gca, ubaleka agoduke. Ukufika apho, uxelela abazali bakhe ukuba uyahamba kwaye yiyo leyo . Ndifuna ukuhamba ezinzulwini zobusuku! uyadanduluka.
Khange ndikwazi ukuzibamba ndicinga ngeCinderella, ohambo lwayo lomlingo lufikelela esiphelweni xa ixesha lihlasela i12AM. Kule ntsomi, intombazana encinci icinezelwe ezinzulwini zobusuku, ibuyela kubomi obuthusayo obugcina umnqweno wakhe. UKiki, kwelinye icala, uqala uhambo lwakhe ezinzulwini zobusuku, ehamba ngomtshayelo esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku.
Iqhawekazi lethu lineminyaka eli-13 ubudala, nokuyiminyaka apho igqwirha elincinci kufuneka lishiye ikhaya lodwa liqale uqeqesho. Akanaso isicwangciso, kodwa unokholo kwisiqu sakhe, nto leyo ulutsha oluninzi olusokolayo njengoko isiza kwezayo.
Ngaphakathi kwimizuzu yokuqala ye-10 yefilimu, sibona uKiki ephaphazela umtshayelo okokuqala. Ujonge ngokuzimisela ebusweni njengoko ephakamisa umtshayelo kanina. Umoya uvuthuza ngaphantsi kwakhe, umnyusela emoyeni ngesenzo senkululeko. Kwinkqubo, ungabona iintyatyambo zakhe ezimhlophe zangaphantsi kwengubo yakhe emnyama evulekile, endikhumbuza ukungoyiki kwam xa kufikwa kumba wokuhamba ze njengomntwana.
I-Kiki kungekudala iyenza kwidolophu engasemanzini, iyathandana nale ndawo, kwaye iceba ukuyenza ibe likhaya lakhe elitsha. Ikati lakhe elimnyama uJiji, eliphindaphinda njengeqabane lakhe, lizama ukumdimaza (nto leyo ayenzayo kakhulu), kodwa uyamlahla kwaye aqhubele phambili.
Kuba i-Kiki ayisiyiyo iflaya elinamava, unengxaki yokufika kule ndawo intsha kwaye ungena engxakini ngepolisa (eliyindoda). Inkwenkwe egama linguTombo iyamnceda ukuba aphume engxakini kwaye izame ukumlandela ngakumbi. Eli lixesha lokuqala sibona uKiki enxibelelana nelungu lolutsha lesini esahlukileyo.
Ngaphambi kokuba uTombo agqibe ukuthetha, intetho kaKiki iba mnyama kwaye uthi, Ndiyabulela ngokundikhupha engxakini, kodwa andifanele ukuba ndithetha nawe, kwaye ufuna ukwazi ukuba kutheni? Kukurwada kakhulu ukuthetha nentombazana ngaphambi kokuba waziswe kwaye ngaphambi kokuba wazi igama lakhe. Humph! Kwirekhodi, ukuba ufumana ukubanjwa kwaye ufuna impendulo kwibala, ndingayithatha le.
Nangona uKiki efumene iingxaki ezininzi (EZININZI) ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uyaqhubeka aze ahlangane nombhaki okhulelweyo, ojonge ukubuyisa isikhuthazi komnye wabathengi bakhe. Amavolontiya eKiki aya kunceda, ngenkalipho atsibe ecaleni eliweni aze abhabhe ezantsi ayokuhlangabeza umfazi kunye nomntwana wakhe.
Olu thando lukhaliphile lubangela ukusabela kwetyathanga, ukuvumela uKiki ukuba ahlale e-Osono kwigumbi eliphezulu lombhaki kunye nokusebenza e-Good Cooking Pan Bakery. Okulandelayo, siyaqhubeka ukubona umzekelo wobuhlobo babasetyhini xa uKiki ecebisa ukuba aqale eyakhe inkonzo yokuhambisa. U-Osono uyavuma kwangoko kolu luvo kwaye unikezela no-Kiki umnxeba wakhe, anokuwasebenzisela ii-odolo.
Kwindima yakhe entsha, u-Kiki usebenza njengomntu omdala, ebonisa ukuba ubudala abubalulekanga njengoko ehamba ebudaleni. Ulawula ishishini lakhe, uyokuthenga ukutya, kwaye uzikhathalele yena neJiji.
Ekuzisweni kwakhe kokuqala, uKiki udibana nomculi ongumfazi, othi (njengo-Osono) amncede ebunzimeni. Ursula umculi uncoma uKiki ngokuzimela kwakhe. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, sidibene nabasetyhini abazimeleyo abaqhuba amashishini abo kwaye baziphatha njengomama kuKiki.
Abafazi abambalwa (indoda ekuphela kwayo nguyise kwaye, kamva, indoda ka-Osono) ixhase uKiki kwimizamo yakhe, ngaphandle kweminyaka yakhe, emvumela ukuba akhule njengomntu. Ngokwam, ndifumanisa ukuba le nto ibambe ngokugqibeleleyo ubume bobufazi: abasetyhini abanceda abantu basetyhini ukuba bafumane indawo ephezulu.
Le nkxaso iza ingakumbi iluncedo xa uKiki ejongene nokubuyela umva kwakhe okukhulu. Emva konikezelo oluxakekileyo emvuleni, uKiki uphela elahlekile kwitheko uTombo amthumelele isimemo, elalithunyelwe ku-Miss Witch. Ekuguqukeni kweziganeko, uKiki uyagula kwaye uxinezelekile.
Nangona u-Osono engamazi uKiki kwaye ezikhathalela, ishishini lakhe, kunye nomntwana wakhe ongekazalwa, uchitha ixesha esebenza ukwenza uKiki azive engcono. Apha, sibona umfazi owomeleleyo ongumzekelo womama osebenzayo.
Emva kokuba isigulo sikaKiki sidambile, u-Osono umthumela ekuhanjisweni. Nje ukuba afike apho, uKiki uyaqonda ukuba umbhaki umise ukuba adibane noTombo, ommemayo ukuba bakhwele inqwelomoya eyayiqhutywa yindoda (ethi, okwangoku, ibhayisekile ibe nesihambisi esiqhotyoshelweyo).
Kunika umdla ukubukela uKiki kwisitulo esingasemva ngotshintsho, njengoko engqiyame ngasekhohlo nasekunene ukunceda ukuqhuba ibhayisekile. Qaphela: usasebenzisa ulawulo. Siliqela kakhulu! Utsho uTombo. Njengoko ndibabukele kunye, andinakukunceda ndicinge ngoEmma Watson HeHeShe Inyathelo lokuqala, elimele ukulingana elisisiseko sobufazi.
Umqobo olandelayo: U-Kiki uphulukana namandla akhe. Akasamva uJiji ethetha. Ngokubhekisele kumtshayelo kanina, awusamphakamisi emoyeni. Ngelixa uzama ukubhabha, uKiki uphela eyaphula ngesiqingatha, ebonisa ukuba icandelo eliphambili lobomi bakhe liphelile. Ngokubanzi, uKiki ushwankathela amava akhe ngokuchaza ukuba uziva engaphandle.
Ukuqhubeka nomxholo wethu wentombazana, u-Ursula uyabuya kwaye ngoko nangoko umema uKiki ukuba ahlale naye xa efumanisa ngeengxaki zakhe. Endleleni, bobabini bayadlala kwaye banomntwana, bavumela uKiki ukuba axhumane kwakhona nobuntombi bakhe kwaye aqale ngokutsha.
Ukufika kwabo bobabini emaphandleni, ndandinomdla wokuba uKiki wabonakala engcono. Uphefumle umoya omtsha kwaye kubonakala ngathi ufumana amandla kwindalo. Mna, ngokwam, ndiyakwazi ukunxibelelana noku kwaye ndihlala ndichonga igama ecofeminism , eyile: intsingiselo yefilosofi nezopolitiko edibanisa inkxalabo yendalo kunye neyabafazi, ngokubhekisele kuzo zombini njengeziphumo zokulawulwa kwamadoda eluntwini. Ngamanye amagama, i-ecofeminism idibanisa uxinzelelo lwabasetyhini kunye nokuthoba isidima soMama weNdalo (ugxininiso kwi umama Inxalenye).
Abafazi babini baqala ukukhwela intambo kwaye babambe ukukhwela nendoda esele ikhulile, ethe-ngqo kwi-cue-ithi wayecinga ukuba u-Ursula wayeyinkwenkwe. Mhlawumbi inento yokwenza nenyaniso yokuba ikhupha i-vibe yomfazi ophetheyo? I-vibe engazange idibene ngokwesiko nabasetyhini.
Ngaphambi kokulala, i-duo inentliziyo kwaye u-Kiki uveza ukukhathazeka kwakhe, kuba ukubhabha kwakudla ngokuza kuye, kodwa ngoku kufuneka ajonge ngaphakathi kuye ukuze aqonde ukuba ukwenze njani kwasekuqaleni. Ursula unokuziqonda ezi mvakalelo kuba wayetsala nzima xa esiza kwezakhe njengegcisa. U-Kiki emva koko uphawule, Siyahamba ngomoya wethu, kwaye u-Osono uyakuphinda oku xa echaza ukuba ngamnye wethu kufuneka afumane ukukhuthazeka, njengaye no-Osono benza kubugcisa nokubhaka, ngokulandelelana.
Ngeli xesha, ndakhumbula into endiyivileyo Ukulandela umkhondo uEllis Ross Xoxa kwisiteshi sakhe seYouTube. Wayethetha malunga nokuba xa abantu basetyhini bexinzekile, kufuneka simamele umculo kwaye sijikeleze isinqe. Ngenxa yokuba amandla ethu avela kweli candelo lomzimba wethu (ndicinga ukuba wayebhekisa kwisibeleko). Ngale ndlela, ndicinga ukuba uKiki no-Ursula babethetha ngokufanayo, bebhekisa kumandla abanjwe ngabafazi ngaphakathi.
Kanye xa uKiki ebuyela ekhaya, incopho yohambo lweqhawekazi lethu iyavela. Umntu onobungqongqo bendawo uyahamba, kodwa iingcebiso ngaphezulu njengesaqhwithi somoya aziveli ndawo. UTombo, owayencedisa ukubamba inqwelomoya, ubambeka kwenye yeentambo xa ejinga emoyeni.
UKiki ubalekela ukumhlangula. Ubamba umtshayelo wendoda (engalindelanga mvume nokwamkelwa kwayo), isuka iye kokufundekayo, kwaye iintloko zijongise kwinqaba yewotshi yedolophu, emelene neTombo. Okumangalisayo kukuba, inqaba enye yile ikhuthaze uKiki ukuba aphile apha kwindawo yokuqala, ke ngokuqinisekileyo siza kwisangqa esipheleleyo ngalo mzuzu.
Isihlwele siyavuya sivela ezantsi, Musa ukunikezela!
UTombo uyeka intambo, iqhubele emhlabeni kwaye-ewe-uKiki uyamsindisa kanye ngexesha.
Umboniso bhanyabhanya uphela uTombo ephaphazela ngenqwelomoya kwaye uKiki ebhabha ngomtshayelo wakhe omtsha ecaleni kwakhe. Lo mtshayelo ubonakala wahlukile kunina. Ngapha koko, ngumtshayelo ofanayo awayewusebenzisa xa wayehlangula uTombo, ethi, ngokoluvo lwam, yeyona ntlonelo inkulu kubufazi bakhe obutsha.
Njengoko uKiki ehamba ngesitrato, uyaqaphela ukuba amantombazana amancinci ngoku anxiba njengaye. Kule nqanaba, jonga ukuba uKiki udlulisele ubufazi bakhe kwisizukulwana esilandelayo, ekhuthaza amanye amantombazana amancinci ukuba awamkele awabo amandla kunye nezinto ezizodwa.

Nangona le movie ingadibani ngqo nobufazi, ibonakala inxibelelene nam. Sineqhawekazi eliselula elijongene nekamva lalo xa uninzi lwamantombazana akwishumi elivisayo luxakeke kakhulu luzama ukubona ukuba limi phi kwihlabathi elilwa nokulingana.
Njengabantwana, amantombazana awahlali eyazi isini esikho ngelishwa eluntwini. Malunga neminyaka eli-13 ubudala, lo mqobo uhlala ubonakala, kuba kulapho ke sifikelela ebufazini.
Nokuba ndimdala kangakanani, andizange ndizive ndisoyika amagqwirha (kunye nophawu lwabo archetype ) kuba bandikhumbuza ngokwam, kwaye noKiki wayengehlukanga. Undikhumbuze amandla endaziva ngaphakathi, ngokuziphatha kwam okunomdla. U-Kiki wandikhuthaza ukuba ndamkele zonke iindawo zobomi bam, nditsho nezinto ezingaqhelekanga ezazindenza ndizive ngathi andingowakhe.
Ndiyabulela kuKiki ukuba andizange ndilahlekelwe ngumnxeba ngamandla am angaphakathi. Ndiyabulela kuKiki ukuba ndifunde ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumfazi kunye nomfazi: oko kuthetha ukuba kufuneka ube nguwe, nokuba ujongene nobunzima.
