Maalin maalmaha ka mid ah, hooyo waxay heshay miro badan.
Siku moja, mama alileta matunda mengi.
“Goormaa wax miro ah heleynaa?” ayaan weydiinay. “Waxaan miraha cuni doonaa caawa,” ayay tiri hooyo.
“Tutakula matunda lini?” tunauliza. “Tutakula matunda leo jioni,” mama anasema.
Walaalkay Rahim waa mid dhuuni ah. Waxa uu dhadhamiyaa midhaha oo dhan. In badan na waa uu ka cunaa.
Kaka yangu Rahim ni mlafi. Anaonja onja matunda yote. Anakula matunda mengi.
“Bal eeg waxuu Rahim sameeyey!” Waxaa ku qayliyay walaalkayga yar. “Rahim waa akhlaaq la aan iyo bakhayl,” Ayaan dhahaa.
“Angalia Rahim alichokifanya!” mdogo wangu analalamika kwa sauti. “Rahim ni mtundu na mchoyo,” ninasema.
Hooyo waxay u caraysantahy Rahim.
Mama amekasirishwa na Rahim.
Waxaan sidoo kale u caraysannahay Rahim. Laakin Rahim kama xumo.
Sisi pia tumekasirishwa na Rahim. Lakini Rahim haombi msamaha.
“Miyaadan u soconin in aad ciqaabto Rahim?” ayuu waydiiyay walaalkayga yar.
“Hutamwadhibu Rahim?” mdogo wangu anauliza.
“Rahim, dhakhso waad kashalaayi doontaa,” hooyo ayaa ugu digtay.
“Rahim, muda si mrefu utajuta,” mama anaonya.
Rahim ayaa billaabay inuu dareemo xanuun.
Rahim anaanza kuhisi kuumwa.
“Caloosha ayaa aad i xanuunayso,” ayuu Rahim ku gunuunacay.
“Tumbo langu linauma sana,” Rahim ananong’ona.
Hooyo ayaa garanaysay in ay taas dhacayso. Mirtii ayaa ciqaabeyso Rahim!
Mama alijua hili litatokea. Matunda yanamwadhibu Rahim!
Ogu danbeytii, Rahim ayaa nagu yidhi waan ka xumahay. “Marnaba markale ma noqon doono mid saaid dhuuni u ah,” ayuu balanqaaday, waana aaminnay dhammaanteen isaga.
Baadaye, Rahim anatuomba msamaha. “Kamwe sitakuwa mlafi tena,” anaahidi. Na sote tunamwamini.
