2. Sheeko: “Waqtiga Firaaqada ee Cabdi” (Qoto Dheer)

**Cabdi waa arday mashquul ah, laakiin mar walba wuxuu helaa waqti firaaqo si uu u sameeyo hiwaayadihiisa. Subax kasta, wuu soo toosaa wuxuuna aadayaa iskuulka. Markuu soo laabto, wuu dhameeyaa shaqadiisa guriga. Kadib, wuxuu raaxaystaa waqtigiisa firaaqada.

Hiwaayadiisa ugu jecel waa sawiridda. Wuxuu qaataa buugiisa sawirka oo wuxuu sawiraa xayawaan iyo dad. Mararka qaar, wuxuu tusaa sawirradiisa qoyskiisa. Waxay ku yiraahdaan, “Aad baad u fiican tahay!”

Maalmaha fasaxa, Cabdi wuxuu ciyaaraa kubadda cagta isaga iyo saaxiibadiis beerta. Waxay ordaan, kubadda la ciyaaraan, oo qoslaan. Markii ciyaartu dhammaato, waxay fariistaan hoos geed wayn oo ay sheekaystaan.

Fiidkii, Cabdi wuxuu daawadaa telefishanka isaga iyo walaalkiis yar. Waxay jecel yihiin kartoonada qosolka badan iyo filimada dagaalka. Mararka qaar waxay daawadaan ciyaaraha kubadda cagta oo ay u sacbiyaan kooxdooda ay jecel yihiin.

Markuu rabo inuu nasto, Cabdi wuxuu dhegaystaa muusig. Wuxuu xirtaa headphones oo dhegaystaa heesaha Soomaaliga. Mararka qaar wuu la heesaa muusigga. Walaalkiis yar wuxuu ku yiraahdaa, “Aad baad u heesaysaa!”

Axad walba, Cabdi wuxuu caawiyaa hooyadii jikada. Wuxuu barta sida bariiska loo kariyo iyo sida rootiga loo dubo. Hooyadii waxay ku tiraahdaa, “Waxaad noqon doontaa cunto kariye fiican.”

Mararka qaar, qoyskiisa waxay u safraan miyiga. Waxay kaamaystaan agagaarka webiga. Waxay shitaan dab, waxay karinayaan cunto banaanka, waxayna habeenkii ka sheekeeyaan xiddigaha hoostooda. Subaxii, Cabdi wuxuu kalluumaystaa adeerkiis. Wuxuu farxaa markuu qabto kalluun wayn.

Cabdi sidoo kale wuxuu jecel yahay sawir qaadista. Wuxuu isticmaalaa telefoonkiisa si uu u sawiro shimbiro, ubaxyo, iyo saaxiibadiis. Wuxuu sawirrada ku keydiyaa album.

Maalin maalmaha ka mid ah, Cabdi wuxuu rajaynayaa inuu safar ku maro dalal kala duwan. “Waxaan rabaa inaan arko adduunka, sawiro qaado, oo wax cusub barto,” ayuu yiraahdaa. Laakiin hadda, wuxuu ku raaxaystaa hiwaayadihiisa wuxuuna ku riyoodaa mustaqbalka.**
