Abazali bamaHindu bagibisela incwadi yomthetho baza baphosa unyana wabo ngomtshato wesini esifanayo.

Uthando kunye nokwamkelwa zizinto eziphambili zesiko (kunye nomtshato omangalisayo!).

Utata kaRishi Agarwal uVijay kunye nomama uSushma ngesisa bawuxhasa ngemali umtshato wakhe waseIndiya ogqithileyo e-Oakville, eCanada. Lo mbhiyozo wawuquka zonke izithethe nezithethe ezihonjisiweyo zomHindu oqhelekileyo umtshato-ngaphandle kwenye, iinkcukacha ezintle kakhulu: uRishi watshata nendoda, kwaye ubufanasini abujongelwanga nje ngokwenkcubeko yemveli yaseIndiya, kodwa buhlala bungekho semthethweni kwaye bungohlwaywa eIndiya.

Ke, unokuba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wokuphuma kukaRishi ngo-2004 kwakumothusa kancinane uVijay noSushma, abasuka eIndiya ngeminyaka yee-'70s kwaye bahlala begcina umzi wamaHindu ongqongqo ukwenzela uRishi kunye nabantwana bakowabo.

“Ibiyixesha elinzima kum. [Mna nosapho lwam] besisiya kwimitshato emalunga ne-15 ukuya kwangama-20 ngonyaka,” utshilo uRishi Iscroll.in malunga nokuba babunjani ubomi ngaphambi kokuba avuleleke kwintsapho yakhe. “Ndandivuya kakhulu kubahlobo basekhaya. Kodwa kwakhona yandichukumisa intliziyo, imvakalelo yokuba andisayi kuze ndibe nayo le nto—nditshate nomntu endimthandayo size sibe naye njengaye.” Nangona kubuhlungu, sithembisa ukuba kukho isiphelo esonwabisayo, kuba ulindelo oluphantsi lukaRishi lothando kunye nolonwabo lwachithwa ngokupheleleyo.

Emva kokuba umzali wakhe emangalisiwe kwaye esoyika, uRishi wayenexhala lokuba bangamnikela umva. Kodwa, endaweni yoko, uVijay wamqinisekisa, “Ibisoloko ilikhaya lakho eli. Ungaze ucinge ngenye indlela.” Okona kubaluleke kakhulu, abazange bacinge ngokuphatha uRishi ngendlela eyahlukileyo kunabanye abantwana babo—babefuna ukumbona etshata aze aguge nomntu amthandayo. (Nceda, udlulise izicubu.)

Ngena, uDaniel Langdon, owathi uRishi wadibana naye ngo-2011. Emva kokuba bathandana kwaye uRishi wacebisa, ama-Agarwal ayekwimishini: "Sasigqibe ... akukho mahluko phakathi komtshato wonyana wethu omkhulu ... kunye nomtshato wonyana wam omncinci, ” watsho uVijay. Senze yonke iminyhadala yamaHindu—i-mehndi, isangeet, umtshato, yonke iShebang.” 

Nangona le nkqubo yayingasoloko ihamba kakuhle—abefundisi bamaHindu abasixhenxe basikhaba isicelo sikaVijay sokutshata eso sibini ngaphambi kokuba afumane umntu owayeza kutshata—yada yafika imini yomtshato kaRishi noDaniel yaye yayizaliswe luthando olungakumbi, imibala eqaqambileyo nezithethe ezintle kunoRishi. ngethemba.

“Zininzi iintsomi nokungaqondi kakuhle kwindawo esihlala kuyo. Umyalezo wam ulula kakhulu. Ukuba uthatha ixesha uwuqonde lo mbandela kwaye uqokelele ulwazi, ayingobantwana kuphela abaya konwaba, wena ngokwakho uya konwaba,” utshilo uVijay malunga nobufanasini nolonwabo lonyana wakhe (naye nabani na). UBravo, uMnumzana noNksk. Agarwal—onjani wona ukuba mhle umtshato nabayeni ababini abachwayitileyo!
