Dan huwa l-bidu tan-novella:
Dak il-lejl stess bdew ฤกejjin. Kif kienet basret. Gฤงalihom. L-ewwel semgฤงethom iwaqwqu mill-bogฤงod. U mbagฤงad rathom. Dellijiet gฤงorba.
Meta bdew jersqu lejn il-blokka tagฤงhom, bdiet tisma’ t-tektik ฤงafif tad-dwiefer fuq it-tarmak u t-tektik aktar qawwi fuq il-madum ikkuskjat tal-bankina. Taฤงt il-gallarija tagฤงha. It-titjira tagฤงhom kienet dehxa ฤกox-xewka ta’ daharha. U fir-reลผฤงa tal-lejla stฤงajlet fuq gฤงonqha l-fewฤกa sฤงuna tan-nifs ฤงiereฤก minn taฤงt il-munqar ganฤ.
Kienet ferฤงet meta kienu qegฤงduh dak il-madum xi ฤงames snin qabel. Kien ta dehra ฤกdida lil dawk l-inฤงawi. Kien difen il-firien. Bdiet timmaฤกina x-xena minn ฤกos-sema diefi tal-gฤงorab. Il-bankini ฤกabu magฤงhom difa ฤกdida. Dakinhar kien hemm fiduฤja fl-arja li kemm kienet ilha li marret toqgฤงod hemm kienet gฤงadha qatt ma ฤงasset.
Imma meta bdew ibattlu t-toroq u l-isqaqien mill-klieb u l-qtates li kienu draw in-nies, kienet taf li posthom kien se jeฤงduh il-firien. Kienu se jitilgฤงu minn ฤกol-pedamenti tal-iskola l-antika u jiฤกru maโ kullimkien.
L-gฤงassa kienet qaltilhom. Jekk se tฤงallu l-inฤกenji jwaqqgฤงu s-soqfa u l-ฤงitan u jixkfu s-sisien, il-firien se jwaฤงฤงxu kulmโ hawโ. U jekk joฤงorฤกu l-firien mill-qigฤงan, se jiฤกi gฤงalihom it-tajr iswed bil-munqar ganฤ minn fuq ix-xagฤงri. Qtajjaโ, qtajjaโ. ฤฆadd mhu se jsib tarfu. Imma lil min tkellem?
Il-qari tiegฤงi, ta’ kwarta, kien fis-7.30pm, u warajja qraw Eman Borg, Joseph Degabriele, Bernard Micallef, u Antoine Cassar, li bih ingฤงalqet din il-maratona ta’ tnax-il siegฤงa ta’ qari.
Hemm filmat tal-ewwel tmien sigฤงat ta’ qari tal-Maratona hawnhekk.
ฤฆajr lil Malta Libraries tal-idea, tal-organizzazzjoni u tal-istedina, speฤjalment lil Dianne Giordmaina, Kevin Mercieca u Maria Muscat.
