Igice cya 4: Agahinda k’Umunsi Mukuru
Mu myaka ibiri ishize Diane agiye, hari byinshi byahindutse ku buzima bwanjye. Igihe cyarahindutse, abantu baraseka abandi bararira, imisozi igakuramo ibimera bishya, abana barakura, amapfa akagenda akagaruka—ariko mu mutima wanjye, byose byari bigihagaze aho byasigaye ku munsi wa nyuma namubonyeho.
Uyu munsi ni uwa 14 Gashyantare. Umunsi w’abakundana.
Ku bandi, ni umunsi w’impano, indabo, amagambo meza, amarira y’ibyishimo no guhana ibaruwa y’urukundo. Ku bwanjye, ni umunsi w’umusaraba. Umunsi w’iherezo ry’isezerano, nubwo ku bwange nari ngihagaze ku musingi waryo.
Nagiye hanze nk’isarabwayi, nambara ikote Diane yari yaranguriye ku munsi wanjye w’amavuko wa nyuma twizihije turi kumwe. Ryari rinini ku mubiri wanjye, ariko ryari ririmo umuriro n’imbaraga ze.
Muri uwo mwanya, mu ntoki nari nifitiye agasanduku gato, karimo urwandiko rwa nyuma Diane yasize ansigiye. Nari ntararusoma. Namaze imyaka ibiri ntinya kuyifungura —nayishyize ku meza, nkayegera kenshi, ariko sinigeze nyifungura. Uyu munsi ni wo wasaga nk’uwabugenewe.
Nagiye ahantu hitwaga Café du Souvenir, ahahurira abantu babuze abakunzi babo, aho abantu bavugira ibitagira aho bishyirwa. Aho umuntu atuka amarira ye, akayabwira imbaga, ntihagire n’umwe umwita umunyantege nke.
Ngeze aho hantu, nahise numva ko Diane ahari. Mu muyaga uhuha hagati y’ibiti, mu ijwi rito ry’umwana wasetse iruhande rwanjye, mu ndabo zari zitatswe ku meza… numvaga ahari. Ariko si we nasanze. Nasanzeyo abandi barira. Abandi batekereza ko bazapfa batongeye gukunda. Numvise bidasanzwe.
Bampaye urupapuro, bandikaho amazina y’abacu twabuze. Nanze kwandika “Diane Uwimana” gusa. Nahisemo kwandika:
> “Diane – Intangiriro y’ubuzima ntagihari, ariko ntiyagiye.”
Buri muntu yarahagurukaga, agasoma interuro imwe ivuga urwo yakundaga uwe. Bamwe barariraga, abandi bagaseka n’agahinda, abandi bakavuga ibintu nk’abasoma ibisigo. Njyewe, narahagurutse ndavuga:
“Nigeze gukundwa n’umuntu wamenye uko umutima wanjye utera kurusha uko njye ubwanjye nari mbizi. Diane, nturi hano, ariko buri munsi ngenda nkawe, mvuga nkawe, ntekereza nkawe. Wari ubuzima bwanjye bwose. Sinzi niba nzongera gukunda nk’uko nagukunze, ariko ndagushimira ko wambereye ubuzima, mbere y’uko uba urwibutso.”
Nicaye hasi, umutima wanjye umeze nk’uwavuye amaraso y’imyaka ibiri yose. Ariko uwo mwanya, nabonye amaso andeba—yasaga n’ahishura ubabare nk’uko nanjye nababaye.
Umukobwa wicaye iburyo, yari afite isura ituje, ariko ihishe igikomere. Yari afite ifoto mu ntoki, inkweto z’umukara zitavugaga amagambo ahubwo zayasobanuraga, ndetse indabo z’umuhondo zari zirambitse ku bibero bye. Nyuma y’igikorwa, yansanze aho nari nicaye.
Yarambwiye ati:
“Ijambo wavuze ryakoze ku mutima wanjye. Nitwa Neema. Eric, umugabo wanjye, yitabye Imana umwaka ushize. Ariko numvaga ndimo kwipfira buhoro buhoro, kugeza numvise amagambo yawe.”
Sinamenye icyo mvuga ako kanya. Gusa namuhaye agatabo k’amagambo Diane yanditse, maze ndavuga:
“Hari amagambo Diane yigeze kumbwira—ngo: ‘Iyo ukunda umuntu, si ukumwitaho gusa. Ni ugushyira ibice byawe mu buzima bwe, kuburyo n’iyo yagenda, nta buryo byasubira uko byahoze.’”
Neema yaracecetse, aransezera buhoro atuje. Yagiye atambuka gahoro, ariko umutima wanjye wabyumvise nk’aho hari ijwi ryavugiye imbere yanjye: “Wenda si iherezo. Wenda ni urundi rugendo.”
Nagarutse mu rugo bwije. Nafashe ya sanduku nto irimo ibaruwa Diane yanditse. Ndayifungura.
Ibaruwa yari ngufi, ifite umwuka w’urukundo, amarangamutima y’umuntu ugiye ariko uzi icyo asize:
“Niba usomye ibi, ndabizi ko hari igihe cyashize. Ariko menya ko nta munsi n’umwe navuze amagambo atari ay’ukuri. Urukundo rwacu rwarandenze, rwaranyubatse. Corneille, igihe uzumva ukeneye gutangira kubaho bundi bushya, uzamenye ko ntari kukwima uburenganzira. Ibyo twagiranye ntibizarangira, ahubwo bizahinduka amazi yo kuvomamo icyizere. Nzakomeza kuba imbamutima yawe—atari ukukubuza kubaho, ahubwo kukubwira ko ubikwiriye. Genda uhore unkunda, ariko uniyubahe. Nanjye nzagukunda aho ndi.”
Nararize. Sinishinjaga gutinda gusoma iyo baruwa. Ahubwo nashimiraga Diane ko yayanditse.
Iyo baruwa yahinduye icyumweru cyanjye, n’ubuzima bwanjye.

Ni muri urwo rwego, mu rukerera two kuri uwo munsi wakurikiyeho nyuma yo gusoma ibaruwa, natangiye kwandika umutwe w’inkuru nshya. Nise iyo nkuru “Urukundo rudahagwa.” Kuko nibwo nabonye ko urukundo nyarwo rutapfira mu mva, ruyicamo, rukakuzanira indi nzu—atari iyo kuraramo gusa, ahubwo iyo kubamo.
Mu gice gikurikira, nzakubwira uko nagiye gusura ahantu Diane yakundaga kujya kwitekerezaho, maze ngatungurwa no gusanga hari ubutumwa yasize, ndetse n’umuntu—Neema—watangiye kuntera ipfundo rishya ku mutima.
Mbabarira niba amarira yawe na yo atangiye kuba ayanjye. Inkuru ntiyigeze iba iy’ukuri, ahubwo ni umutima nashyize ku mpapuro.
