Die rooi rose van die afgelope week se Valentynsdag het seker al begin verlep, die sjokolade opge\u00ebet, die bederf-ete al vergete en sosiale media hartjies al gewis. Dit maak tog nie saak nie! <\/p>\n
Ons is almal gek oor die liefde en romanse. Vir een dag fantaseer ons oor \u2019n geheime bewonderaar of \u2019n verrassing! <\/p>\n
Rooi is die kleur van liefde, en dis mos die gunsteling kleur om aan te trek op Valentynsdag. Soos ook die dag met die rooi troue.<\/p>\n
Jare gelede het ek as koerant-amateur-fotograaf sommer ook troufoto\u2019s geneem. Meestal tweede en selfs derde troues. <\/p>\n
Op \u2019n Sondagoggend bel \u2019n vreemde vrou en vra of ek nie gou na hulle huis kan kom op Uitenhage nie; sy en haar man trou vir die tweede keer met mekaar en wil \u201cnet \u2019n paar fototjies h\u00ea.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy het uitgebrei oor sy streke en dat sy hom gelos het, maar dat hy darem nou in sy spoor trap. Sy het soos \u2019n wafferse Dolly Parton gelyk met geteas<\/span>de hare, vals wimpers en lang naels. Die wit trourok het \u2019n groot strik op die boude gehad en uiterma-tige pofmoue. Ek moes haar ook in die soortgelyke koningsblou \u201cgoing away\u201d rok afneem. <\/p>\n \u2019n Hele paar jaar later bel die vrou my weer \u2013 vir troufoto\u2019s. Ek dog toe dis dalk nou tyd vir troufoto\u2019s vir haar dogter. \u201cNee,\u201d s\u00ea sy, \u201chy het mos weer met sy streke begin, toe los ek hom weer! Maar di\u00e9 keer is dit for keeps<\/span>,\u201d s\u00ea sy tevrede.<\/p>\n Die troue is op Valentynsdag. Ek verwag iets buitengewoon. Ek tref haar in die kamer voor die spie\u00ebl aan, besig om die dun skouerbandjies van haar helder rooi trou-rok oor haar mollige skouers te sukkel. Die vol figuur bult oral! <\/p>\n Ek is nou veronderstel om te s\u00ea: Oe! Jy lyk pragtig! Maar ek kry nie \u2019n woord uit nie. Ek help eerder om die rooi gedoente vas te trek om haar\u2026wel\u2026middel. Die poffer voete sukkel soos \u2019n wafferse Aspoestertjie in die hoge rooi polvye. <\/p>\n Die arme man. Hy kom jaag haar aan, anders gaan hulle laat wees! Ek kan nie die rooi strikdas, rooi sakdoek en rooi band om sy paaseier lyf mis nie. Die wit broek sit ook nie nice<\/span> nie.<\/p>\n Later by die onthaal kry elke gas \u2019n rooi opgestopte hart wat sy self gemaak het \u2013 selfs \u2019n kant randjie. Dis rooi ballonne, papierlinte, harte en servette waar jy kyk!<\/p>\n \u201cJa,\u201d s\u00ea sy met styfgetrekte rooi besmeerde lippe, \u201cValentimesdag is mos rooi!\u201d <\/p>\n Sy hou haar (derde) man met mening was en ek wonder wanneer wip haar Dolly-bates uit. Sy beduie met skerp rooi naels en haar bruidsruiker van nagemaakte rooi blomme na die musiekman. <\/p>\n \u201cLaat waai daar met \u2018die Rooirok\u2019! \u201c<\/p>\n Ek glimlag steeds as ek die rooi spelde-kussing gebruik. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die rooi rose van die afgelope week se Valentynsdag het seker al begin verlep, die sjokolade opge\u00ebet, die bederf-ete al vergete en sosiale media hartjies al gewis.
