SKAARS twee weke voor die groot dag van \u2019n verloofde paartjie van Ocean View, Jeffreysbaai, het hulle alles in \u2018n verwoestende brand verloor \u2013 trouskoene en -klere ingesluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al wat behoue gebly het, is hul trouringe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar van in sak en as sit en die troue uitstel, was daar nie sprake nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarvoor is Abigail Visagie (32) en Ruben Ruiters (30), wie se huis op Dinsdag, 31 Augustus omstreeks 11:00 in \u2019n brand verwoes is, te lief vir mekaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abigail vertel: \u201cEk was besig om my trourok aan te pas, toe ek die oproep ontvang: daar is \u2019n brand en ons moet dadelik huis toe kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar aangekom, was dit net rook en vlamme. Ons was te laat. Ons het alles verloor: ons huis, meubels, klere . . . alles. Selfs Ruben se troupak en -skoene, en ons seun, Lej\u2019zayne (7) se trouskoene was nie gespaar nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAl wat die vuur vrygespring het, was ons twee se trouringe \u2013 mooi weggeb\u00eare in \u2019n houtkassie, wat nou heeltemal verbrand was. Maar my ring het niks oorgekom nie, terwyl Ruben se ring weens die vreeslike hitte effens verkleur het. Maar \u2019n juwelier kon dit regmaak.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 terugslag het egter nie die verliefde paartjie van 14 jaar, daarvan weerhou om op 11 Augustus te trou nie. Al beteken dit hulle kon nie meer die troue van hul drome h\u00ea nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ringe was \u2019n teken: ons moet trou ongeag wat gebeur het. Ons kan net vorentoe kyk,\u201d s\u00ea Abigail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groot was hul verbasing en dankbaarheid toe bekendes en onbekendes \u2019n helpende hand uitsteek \u2013 van kruideniersware tot \u2019n troukoek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
H\u00ed\u00e9r het Eugene Adams van Pick n Pay in Jeffreysbaai \u2019n groot rol gespeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het seker gemaak dat daar sap, eetgoed en \u2019n troukoek by die onthaal is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is ook deur Adams wat Michelle en Schreuder Venter van Bingo Royale in Jeffreysbaai van die paartjie se lot bewus geword het. Hulle het nie vir \u2019n oomblik geskroom om \u2019n R1 000-geskenkbewys en ete aan die paartjie te skenk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fountains Mall het ook \u2019n bydrae gelewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo baie mense het ons uit hul harte gese\u00ebn,\u201d s\u00ea Abigail. \u201cOns kan nie genoeg dankie s\u00ea nie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
