Zistoir par Wilvianne Dubois (25 ans )

Alors en zour ti anan en imsie e ki ti annan en sat. Tou le zour I ale I rod fler I anmene kot en imisie ki konmsi ki li I en pe ris. Laba sa imsie I donn li koman en pe manze koumsa met dan en pti panien dan en ven en venn sekan. Son louvraz koumsa, sa sat. Son met I travay. Sa madanm ek son imsie tou le de I travay. Li koumsi zis sanmenm son pti louvraz.

En zour sa madanm I dir ek li sa proprieter sa lakour.

  • “Mon ti a kontan nou ti a fer enn pti trik nou de.

Sa madanm I dir ek li:

  • “ O.k. ou sat, mwan mon a vine lisien.

  • “ O.K. apre ou a devire selman, a vine plizyer zannimo.

Madanm I dir:

  • “Wi.

Sa sat in fer mannyer in nobou depay li ine antre anba lakaz, lisien pa kapab vini kot in antre anba plans partou. Zot ler I sonnen ki zot ine manse. Sorti.

  • “Ou’n mank mwan. Prezan fer en kou parey mwan bann, souri, oubyen lera mon a gete.

Madanm I dir:

Madanm I dir:

  • “E ou la !

Degize vine souri. Sat I fer … ouarrr… Degaze, taye, Sat i tap enn ti kalot, taye, I dir:

Sa madanm I dir:

  • “Be wi !

Degize en sel kou vine souri. Koman vine souri, sat plen… tionbo, koman I tionbo sat I al se li kot son met.

Son met:

Anbarke pran met sa ladan. Ariv laba get lakaz. Lakaz vre vid menm. Pa personn ladan.

Napa person menm. Dir ek son mari sa fanm.

  • “Zoli lakaz sa sat pe al rode pou nou. E aler nwa reste ladan en pake letan. A zot sa sat wi.

Sa boug I dir:

  • “Savat ! La larzan I annan akoz ou pa al aste en savat, akoz ou oule touy sa sat, les sa met trankil.

Dir sa ozordi, lanmen sa I ankor lanmenm. Pa okip sat. Lannmen I dir ankor son mari.

  • “En zoli kouler sat koumsa, akoz ou pa touy sa mon dir ou.

Sa boug I dir:

  • “Pa neseserman touye, get sa lakaz ki nou, nou reste ladan, si pa ti sa sat, get konmien tan I pe viv ek nou. In nobou fer nou gangn en sato koumsa, get, get nou pti lakaz ki manyer ti ete ! Ou’n met dan ou lespri, ou’n realize?

  • “A sa kanmenm ou pe dir mwan mon pa ni tande.

  • “Pa tande ki mon pe dir ou?

  • “Pa tande menm, mon dir ou mon anvi sa lapo, zoli lapo noir et blan. Sa touskife pou savat.

Sa boug I dir:

  • “Mon dir ou les sa sat trankil!

Trwazienm zour sa fanm pou touy sat. I kriy sa sat pou donn en pe manze, tap sa sat touye. I pou al kres limenm, koman I fini krese nek sa met lakaz I sorti dan sa vant sa sat I dir ek zot:

  • “Be la I apel se mwan, koman mon pe dir ou sorti se mwan e ale. Personn pa ti fer zot vine la, sa lakaz I apel pou sa sat. Nou’n fer nou paryaz pou nou de e ale e mon pa bezwen personn ankor.

Se pou sa ki ou trouve persekision pa tro bon. Ki ler en dimounn I dir ou pa fer en keksoz ou antete, I kapab ariv en kantite prezidis.
