As jy in jou vroe\u00eb veertigs is, is uitnodigings na troues<\/strong> skaars. Begrafnisse, \u2019n laatlam-doop of drie, en uitnodings na vrinne se kinders se een-en-twintigste verjaarsdae, di\u00e9 word wel meer. Maar troues? Skaars. Veral as al meer om jou hul verkeerde keuses erken en dan ander kies.<\/p>\n

Maar di\u00e9 week hou ons bruilof<\/strong>. In die bloedige Stellenbosse hitte. Streng formeel, s\u00ea die uitnodiging. Swart, s\u00ea ek. Sonder \u2019n strikdas, s\u00ea die eg. Hakke aan, hare gedoen, en grimering (al dreig dit om in strome teen jou nek af te loop), s\u00ea die stem in my kop.<\/p>\n

Ons hou bruilof.<\/p>\n

Streng formeel<\/strong> kry \u2019n nuwe kinkel. Daar\u2019s jeans, tekkies, T-shirts, blink aandrokke, strikdasse, plat skoene, strandrokke en sandale.<\/p>\n

Kordate knapies gee die pas aan, die ringe is aan die vinger. Omdraaikans nou min. Ou getroude ooms knik simpatiek, die anties onthou met wasige verlange en huil wyse, warm trane.<\/p>\n

Dis die onthaal <\/strong>wat vassteek. Trotse ouers het elke bruidswens waar gemaak. Daar\u2019s blomme, strikke, briefies, foto\u2019s en Lotto-kaartjies vir elkeen wat in die bruidsgeluk wil deel. Die lekkergoedtafel kreun, die kos keurig, smaaklik.<\/p>\n

En dan begin die dans<\/strong>. Die antie oorkant my se voete jeuk, jy sien hoe pomp sy hom in die ribbes, hoe vryf sy die eelt-vingers, hoe kyk sy diep in die ou o\u00eb. Hy teug traag aan sy glas, sit stewiger en plant homself vir die res van die aand.
\nDan vang haar oog di\u00e9 van \u2019n vriendin. Hul deel dieselfde avondleed. En woordeloos spring die twee en vat die vloer. Die vertrek se vroue verenig \u2013 die dansvloer roer.<\/p>\n

Laataand kan die oom dit nie meer hou nie. Hy\u2019t lus vir wikkel<\/strong>, die vloer nou ingedans. Dis sy beurt \u2013 die antie se o\u00eb blink, sy\u2019s lankal opgewarm en vat die eelt-vingers stewig vas. Nou\u2019s haar kans.<\/p>\n

Vanaand is die vloer hul verhoog<\/strong>. Hul dans hul sorge weg, lag later oopmond as die antie se strappies-rok al laer sak en sukkel om die ou lyf binne te hou. \u201cW\u00e9\u00e9r!\u201d skree sy in sy dowe-oor. \u201cDis lewe is \u2019n strange paartie. Laat ons dans!\u201d
\nEn so hou ons bruilof.<\/p>\n

Later die week staan \u2019n gebroke vriendin by haar kind se graf, \u2019n kollega begrawe \u2019n vriend. Ek dink aan elke dag se klagtes en kreune. En dan, op die vooraand van Pase<\/strong>, weet ek:<\/p>\n

Die lewe is \u2019n strange paartie. Laat ons dans!<\/p>\n

Gese\u00ebnde Pase vir jou,<\/p>\n
