Original Text: Laba Iyo Tobankii Ugaarsade Ee Geesiyaasha Ahaa
Waxaa jiray wiil boqor oo jeclaa gabar caqli badan, ma aha oo keliya quruxdeeda, balse maskaxdeeda furan iyo geesinimadeeda darteed. Maalin maalmaha ka mid ah, ayaa farriin-side wuxuu keenay war culus:
“Aabbahaa wuu dhimanayaa. Wuxuu rabaa inuu ku arko inta uusan geeriyoon.”
Amiirku wuxuu ku qasbanaa inuu isla markiiba baxo.
“Qaado faraantigan,” ayuu ku yiri gabadhii. “Waa ballan ah in si kasta oo qasrigu iga dalbado, qalbigaygu adiga ayuu ku leeyahay. Waan kuu soo noqon doonaa.”
Qasriga dhexdiisa, boqorkii dhimanayay ayaa hoos u sheegay rabitaankiisii ugu dambeeyay.
“Wiilkaygiyow, boqortooyadu waa nugushahay. Si looga hortago dagaal, waa inaad guursataa Amiiradda Waqooyiga.”
Amiirku wuxuu dareemay culeyska kun nololood oo garbahiisa saaran. Xukunkiisa kuma bilaabi karin dagaal.
“Waxaan sameyn doonaa wixii karaankayga ah si aan u xaqiijiyo nabadda dadkeena, Aabbe,”
ayuu ku jawaabay, in kastoo qalbigiisu la cuslaaday naf-hurnimada uu dareemay inuu sameeyo.
Boqorkii duqa ahaa wuu geeriyooday, amiirkiina waa la caleemo saaray. Isagoo waajib ku xidhan, wuxuu u cid diray Amiiradda Waqooyiga. Markii gashaantidu arrintaas maqashay, ma aysan quusan. Waxay ogeyd in qasriga boqorku uu ka buuxo la-taliyeyaal aan waligood u oggolaan doonin inuu guursado axqof caadi ahax oo iyada oo kale ah. Si ay u badbaadiso jaceylkooda, waxay ogeyd inay qasab tahay inay boqortooyada tusto inay tahay xulafadiisa ugu kartida badan, ee aysan ahayn uun xusuus fog.
"Aabbe," ayay tiri, "Boqorka waxaa ku hareeraysan kuwa doonaya inay ka faa'iidaystaan. Haddii aan tago anigoo ah naftayda, waa la i eryi doonaa. Laakiin haddii aan u tago sidii xeelad-yahan, waan difaaci karaa isaga, dadkiisana waan u tusi karaa qiimahayga. Waxaan u baahanahay kow iyo toban saaxiib oo aniga oo kale u geesi ah, diiraddana u saara."
Aabbaheed, oo arkaya go'aankeeda, ayaa ugu jawaabay,
"Waad heli doontaa iyaga. Dooro kuwa aad ugu kalsoon tahay."
Waxay soo ururisay kow iyo toban saaxiibo oo xariif ah, wayna tababarteen ilaa ay si wada-jir ah oo qumman u wada dhaqaaqeen. Waxay xirteen dhar ugaarsato oo adag oo xeeladaysan, kaas oo qariyay aqoonsigooda.
“Uma socono inaan Boqorka khiyaano,” ayay u sheegtay, “laakiin waxaan u soconaa inaan si aad u wanaagsan ugu adeegno, si uusan u qiyaasi karin inuu wax xukumo annaga la'aanteed.”
Waxay yimaadeen qasrigii waxayna codsadeen inay ka mid noqdaan ilaalada Boqorka. Boqorka, oo uu daaliyay cadaadis siyaasadeed, ma uusan aqoonsan jaceylkiisa iyadoo xiran dareeskeeda qallafsan, laakiin wuxuu la dhacay haybadda kooxda.
“Weligay ma arkin cutub sidaas u anshax wanaagsan,” ayuu yiri,
wuxuuna gabadhii u magacaabay Madaxa Ugaarsatadiisa iyo la-taliye.
Boqorku wuxuu lahaa wehel daacad ah—Libaax xikmad badan oo arki karay waji-gashad kasta gadaashiisa. Libaaxii ayaa hoos u yiri,
“Boqorow, kuwani ma aha askartii aad u malaynaysay. Waa laba iyo toban dumar ah oo is-qarinaya.”
“Suurtagal ma aha,” ayuu yiri Boqorku.
“Tijaabi daacadnimadooda,” ayuu soo jeediyay Libaaxii. “Ku daadi jowharado iyo xariir qolka weyn dhexdiisa. Haddii ay yihiin kuwo raadinaya is-tus-tus, way hakan doonaan. Haddii ay yihiin kuwo raadinaya awood, way istaagi doonaan si ay u xisaabiyaan qiimaha.”
Adeege, oo la dhacsanaa shaqada ugaarsatada, ayaa u digay gabadha. Si qunyar ah ayay u qososhay. “Halkan uma joogno dahab ama xariir,” ayay u sheegtay saaxiibadeed. “Waxaan halkan u joognaa badbaadada Boqorka. Tallaabsada sidii in sagxaddu ay dhagax ka samaysan tahay, jawharaduhuna ay yihiin boodh uun.”
Subaxdii xigtay, laba iyo tobankii ugaarsade ayaa socod ku dhex maray hoolka. Ma aysan jalleecin khasnadihii; waxay indhahooda ku hayeen cirifka fog, gacmahoodana waxay ku hayeen qalabkooda.
"Ma aragtaa?" ayuu Boqorku ku yiri Libaaxa. "Waxay leeyihiin anshaxa ruug-caddaa dhab ah. Shakigaagu waa sal la'aan."
Libaaxu ma qancin.
“Tijaabo kama dambays ah oo feejignaan ah. Hoolka dhig laba iyo toban xujo oo makaanik ah oo murugsan—qalab u baahan saacado in la isku hagaajiyo. Waxaa la yiraahdaa askartu aad bay u degganaan la'yihiin hawlaha noocaas ah.”
Mar kale, adeegihii ayaa u digay gabadha.
“Diiraddeenu waa nabadda Boqorka, ee ma aha ciyaaro,” ayay tiri. “Waan ag mari doonnaa annagoo aan hal mar eegin, waayo hawlgalkayagu wuu ka weyn yahay xujo kasta.”
Ugaarsatadii waxay xujooyinkii ku dhaafeen si aan haba yaraatee danayn lahayn. Boqorku haatan wuxuu hubay dabeecaddooda.
“Waa ku filan tahay, Lion. Waxay caddeeyeen heellanaantooda. Ma rabo inaan mar dambe maqlo aragtiyahaaga.”
Lion madaxiisa ayuu foorariyay, isagoo gartay in is-xakamaynta gabadhu ay xitaa ka xoog badnayd dareenkiisa hoose.
Muddo bilo ah, Taliyaha Ugaarsatada wuxuu u adeegayay Boqorka garabkiisa, isagoo ka caawinaya inuu fahmo sharciyada dalka. Maalin, farriin-side ayaa soo faras fuulay:
“Amiiradda Waqooyiga waxay joogtaa irdihii si ay u saxiixdo heshiiska guurka!”
Gabadhii, markii ay maqashay in waqtigii runta ahaa uu ugu dambayn soo gaaray, waxay dareentay in xooggeedii uu wiiqmay. Culeyska sirteeda iyo cabsida ay ka qabto inay weydo isaga ayaa ugu dambayn saameyn ku yeeshay, wayna suuxday.
Boqorkii ayaa ku degdegay inuu qabto. Markii uu ka siibay gacmo-gashiga si uu u eego garaaca xididkeeda, ayaa iftiinka qorraxdu qabtay faraantigii farta ugu jiray—ballantii uu qaaday nolol kale.
Wuxuu eegay wejiga 'ugaarsadaha' ee ilaaliyay, la taliyay, garabkana istaagay bilihii ugu adkaa ee xukunkiisa.
“Waa adiga,” ayuu hoos u yiri. “Keliya imaadan sugin; waad inoo dagaalantay.”
Boqorku si daacad ah ayuu ula hadlay Amiiradda Waqooyiga, taas oo qiratay in iyaduna ay rabtay guur jacayl, ee aan ahayn siyaasad keliya. Wadajir, waxay u saxiixeen heshiis ganacsi oo xaqiijinaya nabad iyada oo aanu jirin guur qasab ah. Boqorku wuxuu markaas soo bandhigay Boqoradiisa cusub, isagoo aan u soo bandhigin sidii gabadh uu helay, balse sidii geesigii ka caawiyay inuu badbaadiyo boqortooyada. Xitaa Libaaxu wuu ku raacay: runtu waxay ugu dambayntii heshay booskeedii saxda ahaa.
