Die trourok van Marika Lombard van Wellington het onlangs \u2013 24 jaar later \u2013 nuwe lewe gekry toe haar seun se meisie besluit het om dit vir haar onlangse matriekafskeid te dra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Lombard was haar seun se meisie, Anika Muller, op soek na \u2019n rok vir haar matriekafskeid. Sy is vanjaar \u2019n matrikulant aan Hugenote Ho\u00ebrskool. Lombard het eendag vir Anika en Pieter Lombard (gr. 11), haar seun, n\u00e1 \u2019n hokkietoernooi in Bellville gaan oplaai toe die gesprek oor Anika se matriekafskeidrok skielik opgekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOp pad terug vertel Anika sy en haar ma gaan die volgende dag die Kaap platloop, want hulle soek vir lap. Ek het haar gevra watter kleur gaan haar rok wees en sy s\u00ea, \u2018Ag, Tannie, ek dink sommer groen, maar ek weet nie\u2019. En hulle het toe nog iemand gesoek om die rok te maak. Ek s\u00ea toe vir haar, \u2018Weet jy wat? Ek was so gese\u00ebnd, want my ma het my matriekafskeidrok en trourok gemaak. Ek sal jou bietjie wys wanneer ons by die huis kom\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNou ja, toe ons by die huis kom, toe is ek daar bo op \u2019n kas. Ek het dit uitgehaal en geskud en Anika s\u00ea, \u2018Tannie ek het my siel verloor\u2019. Sy vra toe of sy dit kan aanpas en ek s\u00ea vir haar ja, sy mag. Die rok het so mooi aan haar gesit en sy vra toe of sy dit na haar matriekafskeid kan dra en ek het ges\u00ea dit is nie verpligtend nie, maar as sy wil dan mag sy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Anika het \u2019n paar gedagtes deur haar kop gegaan toe sy die eerste keer haar o\u00eb op Lombard se trourok gel\u00ea het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEen van die gedagtes was definitief dat ek lyk soos \u2019n prinses en ek wil beslis met hierdie rok matriekafskeid toe gaan. Ek was net so in <\/i>awe<\/span> dat hierdie tannie vir my die rok sal gee om matriekafskeid toe te gaan. Dit was regtig vir my baie spesiaal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Met hul aankoms by die onthaal, vertel Anika, het sy \u2019n bietjie gestres, want almal se o\u00eb was op haar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk meen, dit is heeltemal anders as die gewone matriekafskeidrokke, maar anders as dit het ek regtig gevoel soos \u2019n prinses wat rondstap en ek het \u2019n paar komplimente gekry ook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amor\u00e9 Muller, Anika se ma, stem saam. \u201cSy het absoluut soos \u2019n prinses gelyk. Baie pragtig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Anika het sy \u2019n groen rok in gedagte gehad wat haar soos \u2019n prinses sou laat voel, maar Lombard se rok het al haar verwagtinge oortref. Sy meen dit was \u201c \u2019n duisend keer beter\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die rok is 24 jaar gelede deur Lombard se oorlede ma, Annaline Borman van Fochville, gemaak. Borman is vier jaar gelede aan kanker oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het vir my suster foto\u2019s van Anika en Pieter op die dag gestuur. En sy s\u00ea vir my, \u2018Sussie, kyk \u2019n bietjie, daar in die agtergrond van die foto\u2019s is daar \u2019n re\u00ebnboog\u2019. Ek s\u00ea vir haar ja, ek het die re\u00ebnboog gesien en ek het dit gevolg en waar hulle twee by die onthaal gestap het, was daar weer \u2019n re\u00ebnboog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSy s\u00ea vir my sy het gaan oplees daaroor en dit beteken glo dat dit die teenwoordigheid is van iemand wat reeds oorlede is. En dit kan dalk net my ma wees.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Haar matriekafskeid sal altyd onthou word as een van die gelukkigste oomblikke in haar lewe, maar vir eers, met die matriekafskeid agter die rug, berei Anika haar nou voor vir die matriekeindeksamen wat op 21 Oktober begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die trourok van Marika Lombard van Wellington het onlangs \u2013 24
