ʻO ka makuahine ma Afghanistan: ʻO ka hōʻike a Ghezal

” Inu ! “, Nīnau mai koʻu makuahine iaʻu ma ke keʻena hānai, hāʻawi mai iaʻu i kahi kīʻaha āna i ninini ai mai kahi ʻōmole Thermos® nui. “He aha kāu lāʻau lāʻau mama?” Pane aku au me ka minoaka. “He mea inu ʻaʻole hiki i nā kauka Farani ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha i ka ʻeha o kou ʻōpū a hoʻopau i nā haumia. “

I ko lākou hānau ʻana, inu nā makuahine ʻo Afghan iā Chawa, i hana ʻia me ke kī ʻeleʻele, ka ʻaʻa hou i kālai ʻia, ke kō, ka meli, ke kāleka a me nā nati i ʻoki ʻia. ʻO ka makuahine he mea pili wahine iā mākou a ʻaʻole kānalua nā ʻohana e hele mai e kōkua i ka makuahine ʻōpio. Mai ka wā o ka hāpai ʻana, hāʻawi lākou a pau i kona ola maikaʻi, i ka poʻe hoalauna e lawe mai ana i kā lākou mau kīʻaha, ʻo nā ʻala ʻala e hiki aku i ka ihu o nā wahine hāpai a puni lākou i ʻole e hoʻonāukiuki iā ia. Ke hānau ʻia kā lākou pēpē, hiki i nā wahine ke hahai i ka moʻomeheu o nā lā hoʻomaha he kanahā. ʻAʻole hele ka makua kāne i ka hānau ʻana. He mea mamao loa kēia no ka wahine Afghan, makemake ʻo ia i ke kōkua o kona makuahine a kaikuahine paha.

Pono ʻoe e ʻike ʻo ka wahine Afghan ka mea nāna e mālama i kona ʻohana; ʻo ia ke kikowaena aʻalolo o ka home. Hiki iaʻu ke ʻike i ka laki o koʻu hānau ʻana ma Farani no ka mea ua kaua koʻu ʻāina no nā makahiki he kanahā. He mea kupaianaha ka nui o ka make ʻana o nā pēpē a ua koi ʻia ka hapa nui o nā wahine e hānau ma ka home no ka nele o nā ʻoihana. ʻOiai ʻo nā hui e kū nei ma ke kula, ʻoi aku ka pōʻino o ka maʻemaʻe a he nui nā makuahine i nalowale i ko lākou ola i ka wā hana. Nui nā Afghans e noho ana ma lalo o ka laina ʻilihune a paʻakikī ke komo i ka wai maʻemaʻe.

Nui nā loina e pili ana i ka hānau ʻana

E mālama i kekahi mau loina o koʻu ʻāina hānau ua maopopo i ka wā i hānau ʻia ai kaʻu mau keiki. Hele mai koʻu makuakāne e hāwanawana ma ka pepeiao ʻākau o kaʻu mau pēpē i ke kāhea pule. I ka wā kahiko, ua kī ʻia nā pū i ka lewa e hoʻokipa i ke keiki hānau hou. Ke hānau ʻia ke keiki kāne, kaumaha nā ʻohana waiwai i hipa i mea e hāʻawi ai i ka ʻai i ka poʻe ʻilihune i makana. Ua hoʻomākaukau mākou i nā mea ʻono no kā mākou poʻe aloha a hoʻouna i ke kālā i ka home e ʻae i ka nui o ka poʻe e ʻai. ʻO kekahi mau hoaaloha Afghan o koʻu mau mākua e noho ana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kēia lā i hele i ka huakaʻi no ka hānau ʻana o kaʻu kaikamahine, ua paʻa ko lākou mau lima i nā lole mai 0 a 2 mau makahiki. He ala ia e hoʻomau ai i ka moʻomeheu Jorra o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana o ka ʻohana i ka trousseau no ke keiki hānau hou.

I ka hānau ʻana o kaʻu hiapo, ua kānalua wau i kekahi mau loina a koʻu makuahine i ʻōlelo mai ai iaʻu e hahai. ʻO ke kāʻei ʻana i ke pēpē kekahi o lākou. Akā ʻo ka hoʻāʻo e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana, ua ʻike koke wau. Ma hope, no kaʻu keiki, ʻike wau ma nā wahi a pau i loko o nā nūpepa e nā wahine Komohana ua hoʻolei iā lākou iho ma luna o kēia "pākeʻe kilokilo". ʻAʻohe mea hou no ka makuahine Afghan! 

I kekahi lā aʻe i ka maʻi ʻana o kaʻu keiki liʻiliʻi i ka colic, ua hana koʻu makuahine iā ia i hoʻoinu ʻia i nā hua fennel a me nā ʻanoanise. e inu pumehana ma na mea liilii mai ka omole mai. "He aha kou makahiki elemakule?" Ua nīnau au iā ia. ʻO kekahi mea i hana maikaʻi loa a kūʻai ʻia i kēia lā ma nā hale kūʻai lāʻau! ʻO Mahnaʻaza, kaʻu kaikamahine, nona ka inoa mua ʻo "ka nani o ka mahina" ma ka ʻōlelo Peresia, a me kaʻu keiki ʻo Waiss, "ka hale, ka noho ʻana, ka ʻāina hānau" ma Pashto, nā hua o nā moʻomeheu hui. Hāʻawi wau i kaʻu iā lākou ma o ka ʻōlelo, ka kuke ʻana, ka pili ʻana i ko lākou mau kūpuna (Bibi lāua ʻo Boba), mahalo i nā kūpuna, a i ka wā lōʻihi ke manaʻo nei au e lawe hou aku iā lākou i kēlā me kēia lā ...
