Sindikudziwa kuti ndinganene bwanji kuti “amisala, opusa” m’Chitonga, koma amalembedwa pankhope za anthu akumeneko akutiyang’ana pamadzi.
Ambiri a iwo - amuna, akazi, anyamata ndi atsikana ovala yunifolomu yapasukulu yokongola, ana ang'onoang'ono komanso makanda - amadutsa mabwato osodza amatabwa opakidwa utoto wonyezimira omwe akuwachotsa kumidzi yawo yakutali kupita ku Neiafu, tauni yayikulu yamalonda ku Vava. 'U Islands of Tonga.
Mkokomo wakuya wa mawu a munthu, akuyankhula Chitongani ndi kuseka pamene akuyankhula, umatengeredwa kwa ife pa kamphepo ka nyanja, kenaka kutsatiridwa ndi kuseka kowonjezereka. Onse amanjenjemera ndi kutigwedeza kwinaku akulephera kumvetsetsa chifukwa chake timafuna kupalasa pomwe pali ma mota mozungulira.
Ine ndi mlamu wanga Jo tavala zovala zodzitetezera, titagwira zopalasa zamatabwa ndipo tikukhala m'bwato losema mokongola. Kumbuyo ndi mwiniwake wa Bruce Haig. Pa helm ndikukhala kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo kwa maliseche a Tongan Arnie Saimone.
Zotiona tikupalasa molongosoka ndi kupita kwinakwake zimasangalatsa anthu amderali.
“N’kutheka kuti sangadziwe chifukwa chake mungabwere ku Vava’u kudzachita holide n’kumagwira ntchito yonseyi,” Arnie anatibwerezanso. “Anthu a ku Tonga akhala akuyendayenda m’mabwato kwa mibadwomibadwo, koma kupalasa si chinthu chimene amachita pofuna kungosangalala.”
Komabe, kwa alendo odzaona malo, kampani yotchedwa Outriggers in Paradise ndi yomveka bwino, lingaliro lodabwitsa komanso losangalatsa kwambiri.
Yakhazikitsidwa nyengo ziwiri zachilimwe zapitazo, Outriggers in Paradise ndi bizinesi yokopa alendo yomwe idapangidwa kuti ipatse Bruce Haig ndi mkazi wake Julianne Bell "moyo wosalira zambiri".
Julianne anafotokoza kuti: “Tinkagwira ntchito kwa maola ambiri ku Australia ndipo tinali titangokwatirana kwa zaka zingapo. "Timakonda nyanja, Bruce amakonda kupalasa kunja ndipo anali wotanganidwa kwambiri ndi mpikisano wa ma dragon-boat, ndipo ndimakonda kusambira m'nyanja."
Analemba ndandanda ya mayiko onse a zilumba amene anachita apilo ndipo Tonga inakhala pamwamba pa mndandandawo. Anagulitsa nyumba yawo ku Australia, limodzi ndi katundu wawo wambiri, ndipo anabwerera ku paradaiso wawo watsopano wa ku South Pacific mu June 2007.
Maulendo awo amayendetsedwa pakati pa July ndi November, zomwe zimagwirizana ndi kubwera kwa anamgumi a humpback kuchokera ku Antarctica kupita kumadzi otentha a zilumba za Vava'u kuti akakwatire kapena kubereka.
Otuluka m'Paradaiso amapereka maulendo oyenda usana kapena usiku wonse, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kutsika m'matumba ogona pagombe ndi nyenyezi ndi mwezi ngati denga logona.
Maanja atha kusankha njira ya okasangalala pamene wotsogolera amawaikira misasa pachilumba chobisika ndikuwasiya kumeneko usiku wonse.
Bwato lathu linkayenda pakati pa zilumba zopanda anthu, mapanga obisika ndi mapanga. Tinapita kumtunda m'mphepete mwa nyanja komwe kunkawoneka ngati kochititsa mantha kupanga mapazi oyamba mumchenga woyera, wonyezimira. Mapazi a Arnie ndi aakulu - omwe ndi othandiza kwambiri, chifukwa mkaka watsopano wa kokonati uli pa chakumwa cha chakudya chamasana - ndipo izi zikutanthauza kuti wina ayenera kutenga kokonati yodzaza mkaka kuchokera m'minda yokwezeka ya chilengedwe.
Mapazi a Arnie anapangidwira izo. Amazimiririka m'nkhalango zowirira kuseri kwa gombe. Mphindi zingapo pambuyo pake, "thwump" yosadziwika bwino ya kokonati yodzaza mkaka imamveka ikutera pansi pa nkhalango.
Iye ndi Bruce mochenjera amawadula ndi zikwanje zowoneka ngati zoopsa ndipo aliyense amapereka kwa ine ndi Jo. Timakhala pamchenga, tikudya mkaka wokoma, wokoma, pomwe Bruce amamaliza nkhomaliro zathu zachilimwe za saladi. Kusambira m'mphepete mwa nyanja - nsomba zambirimbiri za m'madera otentha kuzungulira miyendo yathu - ndi nthawi yathu yopumula, yopuma masana.
Pamapeto pake, tabwereranso kunyumba ndikupita kwathu ku Neiafu - komabe, tisanakumane ndi zopambana zamasiku athu ano - Phanga la Swallow.
Kupalasa m'phanga kuli ngati kulowa m'tchalitchi chamadzi, chachitali. Pansi pa nyanja pali patali kwambiri m’munsi mwathu, sikumaonekera kwenikweni, koma kuwala kwadzuwa kotulukira pakhomo la phanga kumaunikira madzi abuluu wonyezimira komanso masukulu a nsomba zamitundu yowala bwino za m’madera otentha. Ine ndi Jo tinatuluka pamipando yathu pang'onopang'ono ndikulowa m'madzi akuya, ndikulowa m'phanga lotseguka ndikutuluka masana tisanakwerenso.
Kumapeto kwa tsiku kuzilumbazi, kotero pamene tikupalasa kupita kumtunda, ma taxi ang'onoang'ono amtundu wamadzi akudutsanso pafupi ndi ife ndipo nkhope zomwetulira za Tonga - zikuwonekabe zododometsa - zimatigwedeza, ngati akunena kuti: "Zabwino! Alendo openga openga inu mwabwerako bwinobwino.”
