Луна над виноградником

Саяк лет 25, среднего роста, худошавого телосложения, черноволосый, кудрявый, курносый, с косыми глазами, белокожий, живет в поселке Куйганяр со своей молоденькой женой по имени Зебо, которая вечно недовольна своей жизнью.Она каждый день упрекает, своего мужа, пилит в том, что он мало зарабатывает и не может нормально содержать семью, как другие мужчины, которые работают в ближнем зарубежье гастарбайтерами и регулярно отправляют зеленые деньги, заокеанского производства своим женам через компании "Вестрен юнион".
Саяк наоборот, из за того, что любит свою работу, не стремится к высоким цельям, таким, как построит роскошные коттеджи или приобрести автомобилей иностранного производства.У него интересная работа, есть кусок хлеба и он этим доволен.Он летом работает сторожом виноградного сада.У него есть высокий шалаш, похожий на строжевую вышку лагерей исправительных колоний, откуда окрестность видна, как на ладони.Саяк сидит в этом шалаше, отпугивая птиц с помощью баклуши, сделанные из под пустых железных банок рыбной консервы и под банок кока колы, подвешанные на проволоки, натянутые от балки шалаша к деревьям.Он кричит на весь голос, громко хлопая в ладоши.Когда он дергает проволоки баклушек, раздается оглушающие звуки железяки, отгоняя стаи прожорливых птиц прочь.Он из высокого шалаша глядит долго на стаи птиц, которые летят тучей над виноградным садом, создавая шум птичьего бурана своими крыльями, резко изменяя свое направления, то туда, то сюда, словно снесенные ветром парашюты.
Ночью, Саяк зажигает керосиновую лампу и сидит один, чистья стволов своего охотничьего ружья двустволки шомполом и протирая тряпкой его деревянный приклад до блеска.Вокруг горящей керосинки молча и задумчиво вращаются седые мотыльки.Небо над шалашом переполняется до краев синими и оранжевыми звездами.Потом наступает самые любимые моменты Саяка.Он восторженно наблюдает за луной, которая медленно и безмолвно поднимается над сентябрскими хлопковыми полями, над тополиными и ивовыми рощами, освещая окрестность, словно мошный прожектор.Такая тишина, что можно услышать гудение комариного роя, похожее на далекий и надрывный плач плакалшиц на пышных похоронах.Из далека доносятся усталые голоса бродячих собак.Лунный сумрак зазвенит от голосов неугомонных сверчков в унисон с хором лягушек, которые поют в болотах и тростниках берега реки "Кашкалдак".Под луной безлюдные проселочные дороги и даже тропинки видны, как днем.На берегу реки в глубоких оврагах густо растут юлгуны и шиповники, посреди которых можно обнаружать норы барсуков и лисиц, звери которые любят не только полакомиться курами и помишкаться, но и не брезгают сочными спелыми, сладкими гроздями винограда.Под сияюшей луной лисиц можно увидеть даже не вооруженными глазами из далека.Лиса быстро двигается, нюхая землю, как бы попутно определяя запахов. Иногда остановится на миг, осторожно нюхая воздух.Вот в таких трепетных моментах Саяк, вскинув ружье на плечо, внимательно прицеливается.Потом как пальнет!Дттиш!Дттиш!Ночная тишина вторит раскатистым эхом грохоту выстрела, как в горных ущелиях.Перепуганные птицы, спящие на ветвях близлежащих деревьев, от испуга полетят восвояси.В безлунные ночи Саяк прицеливается зверям между глаз, которые горят в темноте, как яхонты и жмет на курок.
Он предпочитает лунных ночей одиночеству и тишину.Луна, неспешно совершая свое путишествие по небу, долго бродит над безлюдными полями.Саяк снимая верхнюю одежду укрывается ватным одеялом, который называется "курпа" и ложится спать, думая о своем прошлом, глядя на несметные мерцающие алмазом звезды бескрайных небес и на луну, которая беспечно светит над спящим поселком "Куйганяр" и над дальными хлопковыми полями.Думает о своем далеком и трудном детстве.Своего отца, который злоупотреблял алкоголем, пил не просыхая неделями и месяцами, уходя в запой. Придя домой пьяным, он бил маму Саяка, волочил ее, как сани по двору.Мама Саяка плакала кричала, а он пытался как - то ее защитить, но ему было не в силах остановить своего сильного, как бык злого и пяного вдрызг отца.Соседи тоже молчали, хотя прекрасно слышали крики о помощи бедной мамы Саяка.Они вместо того, чтобы помочь, наоборот, тайно и с большим интересом наблюдая из за щели глинянных дувалов, смеялись от души.Однажды, его отец взял детский трехколесный велосипед Саяка и направился на улицу, чтобы поменять его на водку.О, как бегал тогда Саяк за своим отцом, умоляя, чтобы он не продал его любимый велосипед.Но он ударил его локтем по лицу и разбил ему нос.Из разбитого носа Саяка, сочилась кровь.Через год отца Саяка не стало. То есть его сбил огромный грузовик "Камаз" и он умер прямо на месте происшествие.После похорон отца заболела и его мама.Несмотря на осенние холода, Саяк в целях помочь своей больной маме, решил работать, заниматься мытьем легковых автомобилей, которые спускались с горных перевалов и остановливались у дороги, чтобы перекусить и отдохнуть в местной чайхане.Дули холодные ветры снежных вершин с горных склонов. Саяк стоял на обочине, беспрестанно крутя мокрую тряпку, как пропеллер самолета, чтобы как - то привлечь внимания богатых водителей.Тут один водитель остановил свой автомобиль на обочине и Саяк предлогал ему свою дешовую услугу.Водитель согласился. Маленький Саяк, черпнув ведром ледяную воду из арыка и вжимая тряпку, усердно начал работать.Пока он чистил грязные колесы, и мыл стекла автомобиля, руки его покраснели на морозе и начали болеть суставы пальцев его опухшых рук.Когда стали коченеть пальцы его рук, он старался пригреть их своим дыханем.Потом снова продолжал работать.Он работал не покладая рук, думая о своей больной маме и сильно обрадовался, когда водитель дал ему денег.Правда небольшые, но дал.Саяк, чтобы сэканомить денег, вернулся домой голодным, не позволяя себе сьесть что - нибудь на ужин. Собрав все деньги, которые он заработал честным трудом, побежал домой, чтобы обрадовать свою маму.Но когда зашел во двор, там он увидел соседских женщин и одна из них обняв Саяка горько зарыдала.
-О, бедный Саяк, ты теперь остался совсем один! Теперь нету твоей мамы! -сказала она рыдая и поглажывая ему голову. Как плакал тогда Саяк, о как плакал, обняв тело своей покойной мамы, тресясь всем телом! После похорон его хотели отправить в детский дом, где воспитовались осиротевщие деты, но его бабушка не отдала его в детский приют, обещая сама воспитывать Саяка и выростить.
Саяк познакомился с Зебо, в школе, когда он учился в десятом классе. В те времена он ходил в школу неохотно, как беспородистая, не охотничья собака, которая хозяин ведет на охоту, волоча ее за собой, словно сани в сторону болот, где он хочет пальнуть из ружья, пристрелив уток и гусей.Школа для Саяка была, как исправительная колония, где он себя чувствовал узником. Учителя казались ему злыми надзирателями тюрьмы а директор школы напоминал ему начальника исправительной колонии, который он видел в кино.Саяк сидел за партой, расположенной у окна, которое иногда будет открыто, где он сделав бумажные самолётики из тетрадного листа, запускает в полет.Он первым выбегал из класса во время перемен, особенно тогда, когда окончится уроки, чувствуя себя заключенным освобожденный по амниции.Летом на каникулах Саяк с утра до вечера пас корову в пойме реки "Кашкалдак".Пока его буренка паслась с другими коровами на лугу, он со своими друзьями купался в реке, над которой неслись стаями драчливые чайки, дружно и шумно крича.С приходом задумчивого сентября, его дни снова становились пустыми, грустными, как сама осень, как глаза осла с печальным взглядом.Вопросы учителей казались ему допросами под пыткой в следственном изоляторе.Однажды Саяк с рюкзаком на плечах пошел в школу, шурша опавшими листями осенних кленов.Попутно спланировав совершить побег из школы.Но увиданное в начале урока, резко изменило его планы и ему пришлось отложить побег на другой день.

-Так, тихо, товарищи ученики!У нас новая ученица из города!Познакомтесь, ее зовут Зебо!Фамилия Ниязова!Документы показывают, что она училась на отлично в своей школе -сказал классный руководитель, учитель Увадагуппиев.

Ученики молчали.Зебо тоже.Она глядела из под земли на свои новые одноклассники большими оленьими глазами, краснея от смущения и играя кончиками своих косичек.Эта тощая, черноволосая и черноглазая новая ученица с длинными коровьими ресницами оказалась очень превлекательной девушкой.Ее тонкая и нежная шея, ее алые губы, напоминающие поспевшую черешню, белая кожа, гладкие руки, словно из слоновой кости, тонкие и длинные, как у музыкантов пальцы рук просто околдовали Саяка.

-Ну, Ниязова, садитесь за парту рядом с учеником Сатыбалдиевом.Его Саяком зовут.Он у нас неуспевающий ученик.Вот вы ему и поможете -сказал учитель Увадагуппиев, указывая новой ученице парту, где сидел Саяк, как загипнотизированный.

Зебо села за парту.Учитель Увадагуппиев обратился к Саяку.

-Чего ты уставился на меня, школьник Сатыбалдиев?! Чем - то недоволен?! Ты, это, даже не вздумай обидеть ее!Не то я сам лично напишу жалобу на тебе участковому милиционеру товарищу Когозкардонову, и он отправит тебя в детскую колонию, понял?! -сказал он.

-Понял, товарищ Увадагуппиев, понял...Чуть что милиция, детская колония...Да я не на вас смотрю, а на нее, то есть на новую ученицу.А что мне делать, если у меня такие косые глаза?! -сказал Саяк.

Услышав это ученики хором засмеялись.А Зебо еще сильнее покраснела.

Учитель Увадагуппиев захохотал даже, глядя в потолок, показывая гланды и крупные зубы, похожие на зубы бобра, который построит дамбу в лесной речке, легко перегрызая ветви деревьев и даже сваливает небольшие деревья. Он долго смеялся над Саяком, угорая от смеха.Потом, еле задавив свой смех и утирая слезы своим клетчатым дырявым носовым платком, сказал:

-Ну ладно, садитесь, товарищ школьник Сатыбалдиев.

Саяк присел, думая о том, как хорошо что он косой.Теперь никто не будет подозревать, когда он смотрит на эту красивую девушку Зебо.Наивный учитель Увадагуппиев тоже подумает, что Саяк смотрит в доску...
Такими мыслями Саяк долго лежал в высоком шалаше, похожий на сторожевую вышку исправительных колоний, глядя на луну и даже не заметил, как заснул.

Любовь с первого, косового взгляда

Саяк, лежа в высоком сторожевом шалаше снова начал думать о своем прошлом, о том, как начал встречаться со своей женой Зебо в далекой юности. Он во время уроков и даже на переменах никак не мог оторвать тогда свои косые глаза от Зебо.Помнит он тот день, когда окончились уроки и школьники спешно беря свои портфели, рывком бросились к выходу, радостно и дружно крича, как чайки на берегу море. Саяк тоже выбежал из школы и быстро догнав Зебо, стал идти с ней в ногу, все еще не отрывая свой косой взгляд от нее.От волнения сердце его учащенно билось, словно свободалюбивая птица в клетке.Наконец он взяв себя в руки, начал говорить:

-Ну, как, Зебо, понравилась вам наша школа?

-Да - ответила Зебо, красиво улыбаясь и зажмурив глаза от лучи сентябрского солнца.

-А деревня наша? -спросил Саяк, чтобы не прерывался разговор, словно кинолента старинного киноаппарата, которая с шорохом обрывалась в летних кинотеатрах на самом интересном месте индийского конофильма про любовь, где безумно влюбленный в Радху Сундар, играя на рояле, поет печальную песню о неверном друге, глядя в потолок, чтобы не уронить кипящие слезы на глазах.
Типа:
Дост дост на раха, пиаар пиаар на раха,
Зиндагииии хамееейн тера, айтубааар на раха.
И друг больше не друг, и любимая больше не любимая,
Жизнь я больше не верю в тебя, больше не верю...

-Все очень красиво в вашей деревне.Широкие поля и луга, где бабочки бродят, как в раю. Я часто замираю на тропинке, посреди лугов, когда тоскливо поет одинокий удод в полден за знойными полями, вдали.Я раньше часто приезжала сюда к моей бабушке и влюбилась в деревенские пейзажи - сказала Зебо.
-Пейзажи? О, вы рассуждаете как художники и поэты- удивился Саяк.
Зебо заулыбнулась в ответ.
Саяк продолжал разговор: - А вы видели нашу реку "Кашкалдак"?
-Да, видела.Только из далека. Помню, я даже внимала там голосу кукушки. Высокие овраги, зеленые рисовые поля на берегу, где несутся чайки над волной.Просто глаз не оторвать! - ответила Зебо.
-Вы правы, Зебо.Ничем не сравнить зеленые луга в пойме реки, рисовые поля, старые ивы и тополя в дельте, шумящие на ветру по колено в воде с гнездами птиц на своих ветвях.Камыши, растущие стеной на берегу и цветущие белые кувшинки в тихих, зеркальных затонах. А на острове мы пасем коров, исчезая в юлгуновых зарослях и в высокой сочной траве.Вечером, когда мы устало воротимся домой, переходя реку вброд, погоняя караван сытых коров с тельятами, запоют лягушки хором вдали и засияет луна. Коровы с телятами воротятся домой, мыча по пыльной деревенской дороге - похвастался Саяк.

-Да, я тоже обожаю деревенскую тишину в лунных вечерах.А у нас в городе, шум, пронзительные звуки тормозов машин и душераздирающие вои сирен.Когда мы жили в городе, бабушка моя иногда приезжала к нам в гости и она долго не могла оставаться там.Старалась как можно быстрее возвращаться домой, сюда в свою родную деревню.
-А кто ваша бабушка? -спросил Саяк.
-Бабушка Сатти - ответила Зебо.
-А, Сатти хола? Она очень хорошая старуха.Ну, та, которая живет в низком покосившемся домике, рядом с водокачкой да? - сказал Саяк.
-Да, та самая - подтвердила слова Саяка Зебо.
-Вы приехали со своими родителями или одна? -продолжал интересоваться Саяк, словно следователь городской прократуры.
-Вместе с моим отцом. Мои родители развелись.Мама моя больше не живет с нами... -сгрустнула Зебо.
Потом продолжала: - Она вышла замуж за другого человека и уехала с ним в другой город.
-О, извините ради бога, Зебо.Я не знал, что у вас родители развелись... вы уж простите меня, я кажется, сам того не замечая насыпал соль на вашу еще не зажившую свежую рану -виновато просил прощения Саяк.
Зебо грустно вздохнулась, одобрительно качая головой, как бы принимая извинение Саяка за свой неуместный вопрос и продолжала рассказывать свою историю.
-Мама хотеле увезти меня за собой, но я не пошла с ней.Потому что она была не права.Она все время ссорилась с моим отцом, назвав его неудачником, нищим голодранцом, поднимала скандалы, кричала, плакала, разбивая тарелки и вазы, говоря мол какая она несчастливая и зачем вообще она вышла замуж за моего отца.Она каждый день обещала, что скоро уйдет из дома и больше не вернется к нам никогда.Она так и сделала. Ушла с другим.После этого отец мой спился.Он перестал бриться и часто возвращался домой пьяный на четвереньках.Но никого не обижал.Наоборот, когда он выпивал, стал еще добрее.Гладил меня по голове и плакал, просил прощения за то, что он нехорошый отец.Недавно мой отец пообещал мне и моей бабушке, что он бросит пить спиртное раз и навсегда.Теперь вот, по просьбей моей бабушки мы с отцом приехали сюда.Отец мой пристроился даже на работу трактористом - сказала она.
-Это хорошо, что отец ваш бросил пить.Одного жалко, что ваши родители развелись.Ну ничего, вы сильно не переживайте.Моя бабушка часто говорила мне, что от своей судьбы не убежишь - сказал Саяк, стараясь успокоит Зебо.
Зебо молча шагала, шурша опавшими листьями.
Саяк тоже.С облетающих осенних кленов и тополей, которые росли вдоль дороги тихо опадали желтые и багровые листья.Наконец они дойдя до водокачки, на которой аисты соорудили огромное гнездо из стебли хлопчатника, остановились.
-Ну вот, я пришла -сказала Зебо, красиво улыбаясь.
Саяку не хотелось растаться с красивой девушкой.Когда Зебо начала бежать домой, он спешно крикнул вслед за ней:
-Если хотите, я вам покажу красивые места нашей реки.
Зебо задумалась и почему то покраснела.Потом ответила:
-Хорошо.Но я должна спросить разрешения у моей бабушки.Если она разрешит... -скзала она.
-Хорошо, Зебо, хорошо.Договорились.После обеда я буду ждать вась здесь -сказал Саяк, облегченно.
-Хорошо -сказала Зебо и открыв скрипучую калитку, направилась во двор.Саяк стоял, глядя вслед за ней своими косыми глазами, до того, пока она не исчезла из виду.
Потом радостно сделал жесть рукой, как бы потягивая за невидимую веревку сигнала, который издает гудки на старинном речном пароме в тумане.После этого он тоже побежал домой с преподнятым настроением.
На улице гулял одинокий осенний ветер, сиротливо кружа опавшие листья.

Chapter 1

Spring fields

Spring, birds singing in the high poplars at field mill, where the white acacia. Recently, among the thorny branches of acacia could see a nest of magpies, and now it disappeared from sight among the leaves and flowering bunches of the tree. Magpies are very smart birds. They know that boys can't climb a tree, whose thorny branches, as its sharp spiny thorns may hurt to scratch his hands and feet and even to rip their harem pants. Acacia flowers have captured the soul like Souvenirs made from pieces of white porcelain. The pleasant smell of these bunches winds spread across the field where farmers work. Khurshida worked, knocking hoe on the rocky field. It was a girl of eighteen, fair-skinned, with a dense and gentle curly dark brown hair, with a slender figure and magnificent Breasts, with hazel eyes, and clear eyes. She is so beautiful smiling coral lips, showing white healthy and beautiful teeth, that a lot of guys in the village were crazy about her. But Khurshida did not pay attention to either one of them, as she felt for him the tender feelings called love. His indifference she has increased "oppression" on the lovers. She didn't even answer your love letters that boys wrote and passed her through her friends.

Khurshida"s father Abduljabbar very strict towards his daughter Khurshida and his difficult character and behavior more like a stepfather than her own father. He often drinks alcohol and satisfied with drunken fights. But Abduljabbar is a good specialist in the field of sheep shearing. He works as a mechanic on a cattle farm. Repairs on the farm milking machines, automatic drinking bowls, conveyors, cleaning barns, combines, forage shredders and so on.
Although Abduljabbar is not a religious fanatic, but he strictly prohibits Khurshida to go to parties dedicated to the birthday of her classmates, which was attended by boys. Abduljabbar swore that if his daughter Khurshida will disgrace their family, he will curse. So mother of Khurshida Raheela every day insisted that she did not play with fire and was cautious in communication with her classmates and other unknown guys, Raheela knew that the class of her daughter not all girls were friendly with Khurshida. That is, some girls are jealous of Khurshida and look at her with despise, because she's pretty and many guys were in love her but not with them.

With these thoughts in mind, Khurshida continued to work on the field, leveling soil for planting cotton. She loves to work in the fields alone, as nobody bothers to think about what she wants to think. Loneliness for her freedom was like the boundless sky. Sometimes Khurshida stops to straighten her back, listening to the distant of a sad voice of an alone hoopoe which comes from Willow Grove, where the wind wanders drunk. From far away came the muffled rumble of a lone tractor. Khurshida thoughtfully watched agile low flying swallows. They flew over the fields, almost touching the ground, and its white belly and wings similar to bent black daggers with sharp blades. Then again she set to work, humming a sad song about love. And the sun slowly but surely rose to the tip of the sky. Khurshida worked on the field under the scorching sun and stopped work only when on the hill, the cook Tubo shouting the beginning to entice people for lunch.

-Choygaaaaaaaaa!- she cried, and her voice flew over the spring fields, like a bird freed from its chest.

Leaving the hoe on the edge of the field, Khurshida went to the side of the field mill. Approaching her, she smelled a delicate sweet smell fragrant acacia which bloomed near the field camp, which grew tall poplars and weeping willows. At this point, of the cultivator, which stopped near a field camp, jumped a young tractor driver of about twenty to twenty five, in a worn skullcap, tall, broad-shouldered, snub-nosed, with curly hair, with a mustache above fleshy lips, a peculiarity of the guy with a green scar on his left eyebrow. It gave him the appearance of harshness and masculinity. His appearance resembled a Roman Gladiator who fought with his bare hands with hungry tigers. Khurshida had not seen this tractor driver in these parts, but I just remembered his tractor, which she just watched from afar in the cotton field. While Khurshida was removed from the branches of the mulberry tree a small pouch in which was bread, sugar, welding, aluminum spoon, and a mug with a bowl, the tractor driver was already standing in the queue at the field tin samovar, where workers were poured theirself a Cup of boiling water. Taking her mug, Khurshida poured her the tea and also got in line. Seeing her, the guy turned to look and gave up his place. Not expecting such a gentleman, Khurshida thanked the young tractor driver and kindly smiled. After a few minutes the guy started to talk to her:
- Girl, let me tell you an amazing story while we stand in line. In short, yesterday I go past this tree - beauty!- from the white acacia flowers that you can’t stop looking at. The acacia blooming was like a young bride in a white wedding dress! I stopped involuntarily admiring the unusual beauty of this tree, looking at it with delight, like a farmer who came from a distant village with a bag on his shoulders, who first saw the city. Then there was gunfire. I thought, there was a terrorist shooting at me from the machine gun. I quickly lay down on the ground, so he couldn’t fire the whole clip at me. I layer down for a while and I look, and there's a singing magpie. Well, I felt ashamed about myself. Stood up, looked around, found my dirty skullcap, shook off the dust, jammed it on my head and went on. It’s a good thing nobody but me saw it.

After hearing the story of the tractor driver, everybody having lunch amicably laughed. Khurshida too, then came their turn. But, unfortunately, boiling water ceased to flow from the samovar's tap. It turned out that the cause was the fact that in the samovar boiling water level dropped below the level of the faucet, so it stopped showering. But the tractor driver found a way out: he asked Khurshida to bend the samovar and pour the boiling water into a mug, which he set up.

- Okay - agreed Khurshida and when the young tractor driver framed his mug to the tap of the samovar, Khurshida gently bent the samovar. But then disaster struck: Khurshida accidentally dropped the samovar, and he fell over, the young tractor driver scalded with boiling water. Tractor driver, making a face from a severe burn, started to jump from the pain, leaning on one leg, pulling air into the lungs.

- Vsss -ah-aaah! Vsss-ahh-ahhhh! Ooooohhhh!- he jumped from the stinging pain and spun like a dog chasing its tail.

Khurshida started to cry, not knowing what to do and how to calm the poor tractor driver. And workers who had already begun eating, all got up from their seats, feeling for the tractor driver who accidentally scalded with boiling water. Some laughed, especially when the timekeeper Abdelkasim cried, you take off your pants and jump right into the pond!

- Oh, excuse me, for God's sake, mister! This is all my fault!.. Badly burned?! Poor!.. I don't know Your name... what your name? - Said Khurshida, crying and circling around the guy in confusion.

A young tractor driver, holding his scalded thigh, stopped for a moment and with a grimace on his face said:

- Me? A-aaaaah- ahhhh... my name is Sultan!

- Oh, Mister Sultan, sorry! I didn't want to... - said Khurshida with tears in her eyes.

-Don't worry, girl, about anything... Aa-a-ahhh-ahhh... Ahh-ahh-ahh....My leg will get better before the wedding said tractor driver Sultan, smiling through the grimace on his face, continuing to jump on one leg.
Then he asked, distorting the face of unbearable pain:
-And You? What's your name?

- Me? Oh yeah, my name is Khurshida.

-Very nice... Vsss-aaaaa-aah... Yyyyh! That's a beautiful name, like you, honestly. You, Khurshida, do not pay attention to me. Better get yourself something to eat. Its lunch time right now... - said Sultan, continuing to rely on one leg to alleviate the pain.

- No, I will not eat. Well, how am I supposed to eat when you suffer because of me? - cried Khurshida.

Here the tractor driver Sultan stopped limping and said.

- Well, Khurshida, now quit crying! After all, people are looking at us. Already released the pain, don't you worry. I have everything in order. Don’t you believe my words? Well, then I have no choice but to prove to you that I'm healthy as an ox.
Here look and, humming a tune, he began to dance, stamping their tarpaulin boots, as a dancer with great experience.

Sultan danced, whirling like a whirlwind and singing cheerful music. Seeing this, everyone around laughed as if the viewers who are watching a funny presentation of a wandering artist. Khurshida was also smiling through her tears, rejoicing that the Sultan let go of the pain.

Chapter 1

Bank robbery in broad daylight

A gang of masked robbers, armed to the teeth, suddenly burst into the Bank with wild cries, threatening to shoot anyone like a partridge who dares to show the slightest disobedience or resistance. They ordered all Bank employees to lie down on the floor and not move.
- Anyone who tries to raise his head, immediately receive a bullet in the forehead! - one of them shouted.
One of the employees of the Bank, of about forty, tall, skinny build, with a nose like the beak of an eagle named Dalakazan, the bandits raised, pointing at him nervously, with trembling hands, the barrel of the machine gun:
-Come on, bastard! You will help us commit the robbery of the century!Come on, open the safe and put the money in those bags! If you try to give signals to the cops, pressing the alarm button, then you, instantly turn into a corpse! - shouted another thug, as he kicked Dalakazan's butt hard.
-Okay!Okay! I'll do anything you say!Just please don't kill me!I have a family and young children! -begged them Dalakazan. He obediently walked towards the cash register, raising his thin arms high, like a young soldier in a hot spot of the planet who had just been captured.

Қоп - қора деворга суяниб,
Ёп -ёруғ хаёллар сурасан.

Хато қилғай деса кимки вабо ўлдирди шоирни,

Деманг тилло кумуш оҳанрабо ўлдирди шоирни.

Лабинда ғунчадек нозик табассум, қўйнида ҳанжар,

Бахил, қалби қаро "дўст - ақрабо"  ўлдирди шоирни.

Яёв, ёлғиз кезаркан бир ўзи ойдин чаманларда,

Саҳар ғир -ғир эсиб ўтган сабо ўлдирди шоирни.

Муҳаббат дардига топмай даво, шеър ёзди у бедор,

Кийиб гулгун қабо, нозик адо ўлдирди шоирни.

Келиб кўклам, чақин чақнаб, чопиб ёмғир аро шодон,

Шалоббо кўйлаги бир дилрабо ўлдирди шоирни.

Хазонлар рақсига термултириб бўм - бўш хиёбонлар,

Самода турналар айтган видо ўлдирди шоирни.

Ялонғоч дов дарахтлар беркиниб сокин туманларга,

Хазонли боғдаги шарму ҳаё ўлдирди шоирни.

Назм бўстонига келтирди соф муздек ҳаволарким,

Бу не қисмат, қаранг, охир ҳаво ўлдирди шоирни.

Мероприятие

(Памяти великого узбекского поэта Шавката Рахмона)

Хоронила поэта на кладбище толпа,
Плакали, роняя слезы с ресниц.
Пышные венки, шепот и мольба,
Будто таял снег в начале весны.

Любил он тишину заснеженных полей,
Писал о полетах бабочек стихи.
Грустил как фонари туманных аллей,
В табачном дыму, одиноко в тиши.

Журавли в его стихах трубили,
Бежала темным буйволом тьма.
Сверчки мглу насквозь сверлили,
Молча заглядывала в окна луна...

Все ушли, шагая осторожно и тише,
Шли дни и многие о нем забыли.
Только деревья, не уходя с кладбище,
Стояли долго над его могилой.

Глава 1

Ограбление банка средь бела дня

В банк неожиданно ворвалась вооруженная до зубов банда грабителей в масках, с дикими криками, угрожая пристрелить как куропатку каждого, кто осмелится оказать малейшее неповиновение или сопротивление. Они приказали всем сотрудникам банка лечь на пол и не двигаться.
- Тот, кто попытается поднимать голову, тут же получит пулю в лоб! - крикнул один из них.
Одного из сотрудников банка, лет сорока, высокого роста, худошавого телосложения, с носом, похожий на клюв орла по имени Далаказан, бандиты подняли, направив на него нервно дрожащими руками дуло автомата:
-Ставай, гад! Ты нам поможешь совершить ограбление века!Давай, падла, открой сейф и быстро положи деньги в эти мешки! Попытаешься подать сигналы ментам, нажимая на кнопку тревоги, то тебе хана, моментально превратишься в труп! Давай шевелись задницей! -крикнул бандит, изо всех сил ударив ногами по заднице Далаказана.
-Хорошо, хорошо! Я сделаю все, что вы прикажете!Только, прощу вас, не убивайте меня!У меня семья и несовершеннолетние дети! -умолял их Далаказан. Он покорно шел в сторону кассы, высоко подняв свои худые руки, как молодой солдат в горячей точке планеты, который только что попал в плен.Но он неожиданно повернувшись назад, молняносными движениями повалил бандита на пол и быстро отобрал у него автомат "Калашников". Потом нажал на курок автомата, чтобы обезвредить банду грабителей и спасти сотрудников, но выстрела не последовало.

Я случайно наткнулся в интернете страничку Гульнары  Каримовой, где представлены её стихи на разных  языках и невольно стал их читать. На мой взгляд, стихи  Гульнары Каримовой своеобразны и лиричны. По этой  причине у меня в глубине души появилось желание как -то проанализировать их. Я так и сделал. И поверьте, я  сделал это не потому, что Гульнара дочь экс президента Узбекистана Ислама Каримова, а просто потому, что её стихи понравились мне, и не  более того.

Живая поэзия

(О стихах Гульнары Каримовой)

Литературное творчество - это высокое искусство вызывать восторг и восхищение у читателей с помощью слов. Гульнара Каримова оживляет не только предметы, но и само слово в своих стихах и  оживленное слово огорчается, как живой человек, более того - оно  зависает в воздухе.

«Обидой зависают в воздухе слова»

- пишет она.

Какая грустная и задумчивая словесная картина!

Она рисует настроение, как талантливый  художник. Рисует не на холсте, а на бумаге, напоминающей лунные ночи и наши седеющие сентябрские хлопковые поля.

Гульнара изображает портрет слова с помощью слов. В её стихах каждая буква звенит отдельной нотой и слова превращаются в мелодию.

В стихах Гульнары слеза тоже оживляется и начинает плыть по стеклу.

«Проплыла по стеклу слеза»

Читая эту строку, чувствуешь себя человеком, который стоит у окна, когда на улице льет задумчивый дождь.

«Как неизменно по утрам дерев верхушки солнце задевает,

Мечтою души согревает земная радость бытия…»

Эти строки напоминают тебе рассвет, когда тихо встаёт солнце, задевая своими утренними лучами верхушки деревьев, и душа радостно согреваясь, озаряется мечтой.

В стихах Гульнары Каримовой есть оригинальные парадоксальные метафоры, которые заставляют человека задуматься и взглянуть в колодец ее душы, где колеблется отражение луны.

И, действительно, не знаешь, является ли мрак тенью или наоборот,  тени являются мраком.

«То мрака тень или тени мрак»

Стихи Гульнары задумчивые, как одинокая луна, которая тихо сияет  над безлюдными полями, над оврагами, над заливными лугами.

Теряешь лепесток,

Теряешь два,

А после не заметит голова,

Как поседели мы душой.

Поэтесса изображает в своём стихотворении образ влюбленной  женщины, похожую на розу, которая, теряя один за другим свои  лепестки, не замечает, как она медленно увядает, то есть стареет. Стареет душой.

измерить длину одиночества

Каждый день длиною в шаг,

каждый миг ценою в вечность

В стихах Гульнары Каримовой так же одиноко шагает человек,  который потерял свою любовь, шагает, измеряя длину одиночества. Там дни длиною в шаг, а каждый миг ровен вечности.

На взгляд поэтессы, люди, сидящие в шумной компании, в парижском  ресторане не общаются, а заливают дребезжащий свет, словно  уличные фонари под звездным небом ночного Парижа. Она пишет:

«Общеньем заливают дребезжащий свет…»

Только кровью души пишутся такие стихи и подписываются ярко  розовыми чернилами. То есть, кровью сердца одинокой поэтессы.

Ярко розовыми чернилами

подписалась под этим я.

В этих строках мы видим нежность души прекрасной поэтессы и её  задумчивый взгляд похожую на рассвет.

Небо висит

И душу бередит,

И холод в душу веет.

А счастье лишь вчера

Time

O time, that walks with a limp on one leg
in the dial of the old clock,
tell me, do you hate each other, like people do
on our planet and often tied between you
brawl, with knifes, and axes and even
bloody hundred years of war where soldiers kills
millions of peaceful, innocent people and even children,
turning beautiful cities into ruins?
What bloody war did you fight, if it's not a secret ,
in what field hospital of which you had one leg
amputated by military surgeons, by removing
a piece of shell from it to prevent gangrene?
O one-legged time, walking, limping on a prosthetic leg,
in the dial of the old clock!
I'm hearing the sound of your footsteps
in the midnight silence, or is it sounds of bitter tears
that drip rhythmically onto the floor
from your gray eyelashes?

Oh, if you only knew!

Sometimes we get a grain of sand in our eye and we are removing it
from our eyes, we do not even think how lonely this grain of sand
is in this city, like a city man in a desert.
Maybe it was brought here by the wind from the distant deserts
and it longs for the desert where the Agamas and monitor lizards run,
raising their tails, so as not to burn their belly on the hot sand, where
sand snakes crawl sideways, leaving traces on the surface
of smooth silk dunes and these traces sweep brooding sand blowing,
like in the deserted midnight streets of snow in winter.
There the Saxauls sing, then crying a hysterical voice on the wind.
They buzz in a sandstorm on the slopes of dunes, like the hump
of wild and yellow camels, where whirlwinds sometimes dance,
like a man who dances whirling, with a sharp dagger in his teeth!
You sit down and look at the ghostly dunes under the starry sky,
when the lonely moon slowly begins to rise in silence,
silently and quietly illuminating the expanses of the midnight desert.
Sometimes skiing on the smooth silky sand dunes,
like the frozen waves of dried seas and oceans, you will feel like a
crazy surfer, barely holds on the crests of giant waves.
Oh, if you only knew how lonely that grain of sand in your eye is,
as humanity and as our orphaned planet in the vast cosmos,
in the nebulae of the universe that have no end!
You will immediately take the grain of sand back to the desert,
or the desert itself will come for this a grain of sand, accepting giant
form of rights, and knocking grains of sand, like grains of snowflakes
in the twilight winter, and it will look in the tiny window of your hut.

Echo

The water droplets fall at the midnight silence.
No, it's not the thawing snow outside the window crying 
and not the footsteps of time, which
walks, hobbling on one leg on the dial of the wall clock.
It's the echo of your tears dripping by the window,
in the moonlight and desolate silence, there
across the oceans, in my distant homeland.

Time clicks its tongue rhythmically

I'm not a king or a caretaker of dogs,
but a distant echo of the sad cries of cranes.
I'm the somber sky and the rainfall pecking
the bunches of the Rowan trees
outside your window, which you will look
through at the distant landscape during winter,
where snow covered forests, fields and
the empty winter snow-covered roads,
the rickety huts of the village.
I'm not a king or a caretaker of dogs,
I'm just a slave to my desires.
A slave of air, water and food.
At night I look at the moon, like a fish
looking through an ice hole, in a frozen river,
listening to the sounds of the wagons of the trains
knocking against the steel spines of the Railways.
A knock that sounds like a heartbeat,
knocking of a clock sounds like hiccups
after eating the time from our lives.
I'm not a king or a caretaker of dogs,
I'm just loneliness and peace.
I am the silence and the orphan hood of old graves.
I'm a lonely passer-by, drunk in the snow blizzard
who forgot the path home.
The twilight is lit by the moon like empty white paper,
like snow-covered winter roads,
similar to our September cotton fields.
I go and lengthen my silent shadow.
Balding trees in parks, as if in a dream,
and the leaves are gently flying to the pavement.
The fallen leaves are so soft,
I want to lie on them and sleep...
Let eternity pass on it's tiptoe,
you can sleep, locking the door.
And let time click it's tongue rhythmically,
swinging the pendulum of the grandfather clock.

F sad holiday

I'll go out on a autumn field as if on a holiday,
like going to the train station, and standing
on a high slope,like if on a platform,
say goodbye to the migratory birds,
that fly south, flapping their wings.
I wave to them, my weathered skullcap
until they disappear over the horizon
and their sad voices in the distance
do not cease.
Until my soul is emptied, like an empty nest,
which blacken from the distant
in the grove, on the branches of birch trees.

The distant bird noises

At sunset in a poplar grove by the river,
where there are abandoned ruins of the pigsty,
high poplars deafening noisy birds.
The chirping of hundreds of sparrows, the distant noise
still ringing in my ears,
like the sound of waves in a seashell.

By the autumn fire

You're busy alone in a quiet autumn garden,
sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom.
Thoughtfully and silently collect firewood,
thinking about our meetings and making a fire,
similar to fuming volcanoes, which smoke
the bitter cigar in the Kuril Islands.
Sitting by the fire, looking into the smoke,
so that people think you're not crying,
it's just your reddened eyes with
tears, because of the bitter smoke.

Longing for spring

Spring as love works wonders,
Waking nature from a sweet dream.
Soon, deafening cries heaven,
The birds return, when the grass is green .

Coming from the pathways is spring,
A slim, naive, youthful lady.
And on the poplar the bird will sing:
-Chicka - di-di-di-di-di-di-di!

Hearing this for a while in silence,
People will stop digging gardens.
Will enjoy the singing birds,
Leaning against the shovel shanks.

The poor trees

Rivers and ponds covered with ice,
Outside the window, the blizzard howled.
Oh trees, I would let you into the house,
And you would warm yourself by the fire,

But you're motionless along the road,
In parks, gardens and beside the gates.
Like families in the bitter cold,
The same as people without fuel.

Scurrying, shivering on the frozen river,
And you have no shelter over your head.
But trees, you don't have a stove,
And some wood?..

Winter dandelions

The late dandelions appearing beautiful
They look like fluffy, snow-white balls.
Their hair turns grey, since they are fearful
Fearing that winter is just after fall.

Their winds blew like children in the fields,
It's fluff whirled and flew weightless.
The trees were playing an accordion well,
Like a musician in a cluster of snowflakes.

The blizzards have changed into dandelions,
And the fluff from them is blown away!
These snow-covered streets lights,
The flying dandelions it looks like!

"Falling Leaves"

(The short novel)

(Translated by author)

Chapter 1

Spring fields

Spring, birds singing in the high poplars at field mill, where the white acacia. Recently, among the thorny branches of acacia could see a nest of magpies, and now it disappeared from sight among the leaves and flowering bunches of the tree. Magpies are very smart birds. They know that boys can't climb a tree, whose thorny branches, as its sharp spiny thorns may hurt to scratch his hands and feet and even to rip their harem pants. Acacia flowers have captured the soul like Souvenirs made from pieces of white porcelain. The pleasant smell of these bunches winds spread across the field where farmers work. Khurshida worked, knocking hoe on the rocky field. It was a girl of eighteen, fair-skinned, with a dense and gentle curly dark brown hair, with a slender figure and magnificent Breasts, with hazel eyes, and clear eyes. She is so beautiful smiling coral lips, showing white healthy and beautiful teeth, that a lot of guys in the village were crazy about her. But Khurshida did not pay attention to either one of them, as she felt for him the tender feelings called love. His indifference she has increased "oppression" on the lovers. She didn't even answer your love letters that boys wrote and passed her through her friends.

Khurshida"s father Abduljabbar very strict towards his daughter Khurshida and his difficult character and behavior more like a stepfather than her own father. He often drinks alcohol and satisfied with drunken fights. But Abduljabbar is a good specialist in the field of sheep shearing. He works as a mechanic on a cattle farm. Repairs on the farm milking machines, automatic drinking bowls, conveyors, cleaning barns, combines, forage shredders and so on.

Although Abduljabbar is not a religious fanatic, but he strictly prohibits Khurshida to go to parties dedicated to the birthday of her classmates, which was attended by boys. Abduljabbar swore that if his daughter Khurshida will disgrace their family, he will curse. So mother of Khurshida Raheela every day insisted that she did not play with fire and was cautious in communication with her classmates and other unknown guys, Raheela knew that the class of her daughter not all girls were friendly with Khurshida. That is, some girls are jealous of Khurshida and look at her with despise, because she's pretty and many guys were in love her but not with them.

With these thoughts in mind, Khurshida continued to work on the field, leveling soil for planting cotton. She loves to work in the fields alone, as nobody bothers to think about what she wants to think. Loneliness for her freedom was like the boundless sky. Sometimes Khurshida stops to straighten her back, listening to the distant of a sad voice of an alone hoopoe which comes from Willow Grove, where the wind wanders drunk. There, in the distance, a willow grove, a cotton field, she saw an alone tractor that silently glided over the field like a ship on the surface of a green sea of cotton. Khurshida thoughtfully watched agile low flying swallows. They flew over the fields, almost touching the ground, and its white belly and wings similar to bent black daggers with sharp blades. Then again she set to work, humming a sad song about love. And the sun slowly but surely rose to the tip of the sky. Khurshida worked on the field under the scorching sun and stopped work only when on the hill, the cook Tubo shouting the beginning to entice people for lunch.

-Choygaaaaaaaaa!- she cried, and her voice flew over the spring fields, like a bird freed from its chest.

Leaving the hoe on the edge of the field, Khurshida went to the side of the field mill. Approaching her, she smelled a delicate sweet smell fragrant acacia which bloomed near the field camp, which grew tall poplars and weeping willows. At this point, of the cultivator, which stopped near a field camp, jumped a young tractor driver of about twenty to twenty five, in a worn skullcap, tall, broad-shouldered, snub-nosed, with curly hair, with a mustache above fleshy lips, a peculiarity of the guy with a green scar on his left eyebrow. It gave him the appearance of harshness and masculinity. His appearance resembled a Roman Gladiator who fought with his bare hands with hungry tigers. Khurshida had not seen this tractor driver in these parts, but I just remembered his tractor, which she just watched from afar in the cotton field. While Khurshida was removed from the branches of the mulberry tree a small pouch in which was bread, sugar, welding, aluminum spoon, and a mug with a bowl, the tractor driver was already standing in the queue at the field tin samovar, where workers were poured theirself a Cup of boiling water. Taking her mug, Khurshida poured her the tea and also got in line. Seeing her, the guy turned to look and gave up his place. Not expecting such a gentleman, Khurshida thanked the young tractor driver and kindly smiled. After a few minutes the guy started to talk to her:

- Girl, let me tell you an amazing story while we stand in line. In short, yesterday I go past this tree - beauty!- from the white acacia flowers that you can’t stop looking at. The acacia blooming was like a young bride in a white wedding dress! I stopped involuntarily admiring the unusual beauty of this tree, looking at it with delight, like a farmer who came from a distant village with a bag on his shoulders, who first saw the city. Then there was gunfire. I thought, there was a terrorist shooting at me from the machine gun. I quickly lay down on the ground, so he couldn’t fire the whole clip at me. I layer down for a while and I look, and there's a singing magpie. Well, I felt ashamed about myself. Stood up, looked around, found my dirty skullcap, shook off the dust, jammed it on my head and went on. It’s a good thing nobody but me saw it.

After hearing the story of the tractor driver, everybody having lunch amicably laughed. Khurshida too, then came their turn. But, unfortunately, boiling water ceased to flow from the samovar's tap. It turned out that the cause was the fact that in the samovar boiling water level dropped below the level of the faucet, so it stopped showering. But the tractor driver found a way out: he asked Khurshida to bend the samovar and pour the boiling water into a mug, which he set up.

- Okay - agreed Khurshida and when the young tractor driver framed his mug to the tap of the samovar, Khurshida gently bent the samovar. But then disaster struck: Khurshida accidentally dropped the samovar, and he fell over, the young tractor driver scalded with boiling water. Tractor driver, making a face from a severe burn, started to jump from the pain, leaning on one leg, pulling air into the lungs.

- Vsss -ah-aaah! Vsss-ahh-ahhhh! Ooooohhhh!- he jumped from the stinging pain and spun like a dog chasing its tail.

Khurshida started to cry, not knowing what to do and how to calm the poor tractor driver. And workers who had already begun eating, all got up from their seats, feeling for the tractor driver who accidentally scalded with boiling water. Some laughed, especially when the timekeeper Abdelkasim cried, you take off your pants and jump right into the pond!

- Oh, excuse me, for God's sake, mister! This is all my fault!.. Badly burned?! Poor!.. I don't know Your name... what your name? - Said Khurshida, crying and circling around the guy in confusion.

A young tractor driver, holding his scalded thigh, stopped for a moment and with a grimace on his face said:

- Me? A-aaaaah- ahhhh... my name is Sultan!

- Oh, Mister Sultan, sorry! I didn't want to... - said Khurshida with tears in her eyes.

-Don't worry, girl, about anything... Aa-a-ahhh-ahhh... Ahh-ahh-ahh....My leg will get better before the wedding - said tractor driver Sultan, smiling through the grimace on his face, continuing to jump on one leg.

Then he asked, distorting the face of unbearable pain:

-And You? What's your name?

- Me? Oh yeah, my name is Khurshida.

-Very nice... Vsss-aaaaa-aah... Yyyyh! That's a beautiful name, like you, honestly. You, Khurshida, do not pay attention to me. Better get yourself something to eat. Its lunch time right now... - said Sultan, continuing to rely on one leg to alleviate the pain.

- No, I will not eat. Well, how am I supposed to eat when you suffer because of me? - cried Khurshida.

Here the tractor driver Sultan stopped limping and said.

- Well, Khurshida, now quit crying! After all, people are looking at us. Already released the pain, don't you worry. I have everything in order. Don’t you believe my words? Well, then I have no choice but to prove to you that I'm healthy as an ox.

Here look and, humming a tune, he began to dance, stamping their tarpaulin boots, as a dancer with great experience.

Sultan danced, whirling like a whirlwind and singing cheerful music. Seeing this, everyone around laughed as if the viewers who are watching a funny presentation of a wandering artist. Khurshida was also smiling through her tears, rejoicing that the Sultan let go of the pain.

Funny story of the tractor driver Sultan

- Daughter, have you collected information about the guy? -asked Raheela.

- Yes, mother, I learned that the tractor driver Sultan from the village of "Tuyamuyun", located at the foot of the Charvak mountains. According to him, near the mountain village flows the river, which originates high in the snowy peaks, where even in summer the snow does not melt. Healing water, the air crystal clear, the village is in the verdure he says. At the foot of the snowy peaks stretch for miles, pistachio, apricot and hazelnut trees, mountain ridges covered with tall thickets of wild raspberry, old spruce forests, where woodpeckers knock, run and jump squirrels in the pine trees, the chirping of birds - in short, a Paradise on earth. Here will go there, spend a day or two, and all You have, says he, will disappear forever the desire to return home, it is here in the farm Tillaquduq. If you want You can stay there for life he said.

And why is he leaving such a wonderful mountainous land here? How did he even get here? You did not ask him?- asked Raheela.

- The fact that he is out of his mountain village went to Tashkent to enter the University, but he failed, and he was ashamed to go back. He decided to work here next year to try again to enroll at Tashkent State University. Prior to that, he is graduated from proof those College and received a law tractor. And he found a job here. In short, that his fate is - explained Khurshida.

- Well, that aggravates the situation, and I'm afraid that your father will never agree to let you marry him because you're our only daughter. If you had brothers or sisters, it would be possible for you to give in marriage, at least in Canada, at least in Europe or in Africa .And I don't want you to go away in distant lands, because without you, I can slowly fade away like a kerosene lamp, which is running out of fuel. Yes, your father is strict but he loves you more than life, and that is why he is demanding to see you. In life anything can happen. In order not to happen something irreparable, we must be very careful. Especially you, because it all depends on you - said Raheela.

What if he wants to stay here and live? -Khurshida asked, not looking up from his work.

- And are you confident in this? He himself said about this?

- No. I'm just guessing.

- I don't know, daughter. You should talk to him about everything.A life of marriage is not a toy. Marriage is for life. But many lovers parted with their beloved, who immediately after the wedding, who later when there are differences and different issues between them. It's the fact that they didn't know about each other before the wedding. The world is a market and life together by. The person, who wants to buy something, must carefully inspect the goods. Or they can buy what he will soon have to throw in the trash. Well, let's say, you bought shoes in the store. In a day or two you feel it's too tight. Going back to the store and change them. A man is not shoes to be able to go and change. To not have to change after marriage, girls should be able to choose the right husband, after a careful examination and testing before getting married said Raheela. Khurshida thought then asked:

- Mom, what if I bring him here? I would talk about everything specifically in your presence.

- Not a bad option. But will he agree to this? And what will the people who see it with us? - said Raheela.

- I need to talk to him about this and bring him here - said Khurshida.

- Good - agreed Raheela.

Mother and daughter worked until lunch, during lunch, Khurshida spoke to the tractor driver Sultan, and he agreed to go there, where Khurshida with her mother. After lunch, did not wait long, the tractor driver Sultan arrived at the appointed place. After they shook hands, Raheela the first to start a conversation:

- I beg do not judge us strictly, son. Frankly, I know about your warm relations, and see that you are a good guy. Although I believe in you, but all the same I need to know the guy my daughter wants to link their fate. Don't get me wrong. In my place any mother would do the same. Khurshida told me about a mountain village where you come from. In my opinion everything is fine .But, you know, to confess, father of Khurshida strict man with a tough character, and I'm afraid he will not agree with me if I say that I intend to give her husband for you, since you live in a remote mountain village "Tuyamuyun". My question is as follows. Once you are accepted into Tashkent State University, you will go back to your village, or want to live in our area?

- To be honest, Auntie, I used to think that enrolling in Tashkent State University, I live in Tashkent. After graduation, I think to go to the native village, and there to teach lessons to students at a local school. And now I have other plans. You see, that I check young and I am only twenty-five, but I'm still not married. I'd show you my passport, so both of you have seen this,

But I left my passport at home that is in the tractor Park, where I live temporarily. I don't want to carry all the time, both in the area where the curfew, right? - He said.

After these words, Raheela, too, began to laugh.

- Oh, You Joker. And I, naive fool, believed. Don't worry. I believe you, son - she said.

- Thank you for your trust, Auntie. To be honest, though, my name Sultan, means king, but I'm really, pathetic slave of your daughter. Now I'm ready to do anything to be with Khurshida. Not to stay in these parts, I am ready even to go to the edge of the world if Khurshida wants. Day and night I thank God for what he sent me here, and Iet such a beautiful girl like Your daughter. My life acquired meaning only after I met her. I used to be a simple tractor driver. But despite this, I read a lot for example the novel "don Quixote Lamanchas". Loved the library of our village, where always reigned peace, comfort and tranquility. Come, walk between shelves, looking at books, and relax the soul. Dizzy from the fragrant smell of books, get drunk. Well, the library was for me something quiet resort, free resort, where people restore their health. Read Jack London, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Gogol, Cervantes, Hemingway, Pushkin, Kafka, Yesenin, Abdullah Kadiri, Chingiz Aitmatov and many wonderful writers and poets of world literature. Once I was asked if I wanted to earn a little in the field of sports. I grew, interesting you people of the Lord. So, who wants to earn money, especially in my situation? Of course, want. After that we went. We drove for a long time through the wilderness, crossed the desert, and went to the trailer of the truck, "lorry" of the Stalin era through the mountain passes, where we were being chased by the mute moon. A torn piece bedspread fluttered in the wind like a tattered flag on Mars. We finally arrived in a city. Walked into a building where there were people - a full house. There I was told to take off my clothes. I stand, then, in his shorts and holey t-shirt. They put my skinny arms like sticks, Boxing gloves, and one of them, says he, I am your coach, Mr. Trendeldinov, and you will participate in the world championship on Boxing. Then I accompanied with healthy big boys went to the side of the stage, enclosed by ropes resembling a sheep pen. When everyone walked out on the stage, that is, in the ring, I left my opponent, a short, bald referee with a goat's beard. When the referee introduced us, I was surprised to see his rival, with overly large heads and slanting eyes. The opponent reminded me of Bigfoot, and he continually jumped up and down. His muscular body, from head to toe was covered with tattoos. He drew on his body, the devil knows what: naked mermaid, an octopus, a dragon, devil, Rhino, skull, cemetery, graves, and crosses - in General, a gallery of creepy paintings. Despite his scary appearance, he seemed a good, honest, helpful friendly honest God-fearing man. Finally it was the long-awaited Gong. You see, slash the opponent hits me. I said that you, dear scythe rival, beat me, that said, have I done wrong?! And slash the opponent instead of stop and apologize, even stronger began to beat me. Well, I think things... Crazy to some a patient who just escaped from a psychiatric hospital. He hits and I'm freaking out screaming, through crushing blows. Wanted was to turn to the undersized bald referee with goat beard, but he could not, began to poison us with each other:

- Fight! Fight, scum fighting dogs, rabid bulldogs and pit-bull in human form! Kill, gnaw, throat each other, and tear, meat ripped up!

I said shame on you, comrade undersized bald still narrow-eyed referee with a goat's beard?! Then slash the opponent hit me in the face, and I almost fell. Look - my coach, friend of Trendildinov, also looks with interest and does not take the necessary measures of intersection to solve problems peacefully sitting at the negotiating table.

- Help, people-All! Christians! Jews! Muslims! Bhuddists! Godless atheists -Communists! Well though someone! - I shouted to the whole room.

But my voice disappeared in the noise of onlookers. And people used to to separate us, on the contrary shouting in unison:

- Go-RIL-La! Go-RIL-La! Cross eyed gorilla, kill the skinny boxer with hands like sticks!..

Well, I think, really, not a bit of pity left in this world. Well, to my happiness, came the long-awaited Gong, saving me from the apparent death. I was moving on all fours, barely reached the stool, which was missing one leg. Sitting on a stool, my nose broken, eyes lined on his forehead a lump a size of a lemon, mouth dripping bloody saliva as the count Dracula. Breathe. Suffocating. Give, grew, water. The coach opened the thermos and pours me a cut in a Cup of boiling water. I said, well, you are a greedy miser, where, grew the sugar? Eaten?

- Oh Yes! - remembered my coach friend of Trendeldinov, and pulling from his pocket bodysuits sugar "Comrating", throws in a glass. Coach Trendeldinov, says he, let's chug it down to the bottom, sugar, helps alert, which had lossed a lot of blood in the ring. Then I started to rush, let's great faster, they say, the second round started, and again sounded the Gong. One pot-bellied woman in a quilted jacket with a short, curves and skinny legs in a dirty canvas shoes without soles walked across the stage, raising high the banner with the words "Round 2". I said, comrade coach Trendeldinov, but may not be necessary, they say, stop this bloodshed? Coach, says he, no, not Sultan. People, bought expensive tickets with great hope to see a bloody hand to hand combat modern Gladiator with a fatal outcome. We, says he, now, is doomed. If you pause the fight, the crowd, very angry and could attack us and trample, stoned. Can even apply to us in the Basmanny court, so we returned them the money they spent from the family budget to buy expensive tickets. You, says he, must fight to the end. Then I drank the second glass of water, got up, and again started beating him in the literal sense of the word. When the blows intensified, I began to suspect that slash the opponent whether wearing iron gloves, or inside the glove he put lead knuckles. I'm covered in blood, yelling wildly, beckoning for help, but no one, unfortunately, never responded to my call. In the skull of my head came a solid crack from where a red fountain spurted blood. Bald and diminutive referee with goat beard did not run in the paddock and was driving around in my blood, like ice skating at the arena and shouted, pitting us all against each other. Then, to my luck, the doctor asked to suspend the combat, to cover a crack in my skull something and bandage tape, and that skinny athlete (me) can die, and the carnage will stop earlier than scheduled, greatly disappointing the audience. Only then the referee decided to give me a break. After examining my wound and measure its width and length by using a hand caliper, and the doctors were so scared, pale face as the boy was attacked by a vicious dog. In their conclusion, the crack in my head was so dangerous that through the crack was visible to my brain, like a walnut kernel. Doctors quickly after consulting among themselves, decided to cover the crack of my skull antiquated way, and they put her back a towel. When the towel disappeared in my head, they've sealed the gap with tape. Then let me again return to the ring and fight to the end. But I could no longer fight, as I lost consciousness and fell. In-about-from, so please forgive me if I say silly words that you don't like, -finished his funny story Sultan, wearing his skullcap, which he kept in his hand. After hearing his story, Khurshida and her mother laughed heartily.

- A joke is a joke, but I do not intend to part with Khurshida, even in that light, if not ask about it me she - said the tractor driver Sultan.

Дорогие читатели, есть книги интересные, а есть - очень интересные. К какому разряду отнести "Листопад" Холдор Вулкан решать Вам! Невольно проживаешь книгу – то исчезаешь полностью в ней, то возобновляешься, находя параллели и собственное основание, и неожиданно для себя растешь душой. С первых строк обращают на себя внимание зрительные образы, они во многом отчетливы, красочны и графичны. Финал немножко затянут, но это вполне компенсируется абсолютно непредсказуемым окончанием. Благодаря динамичному и увлекательному сюжету, книга держит читателя в напряжении от начала до конца. Гармоничное взаимодоплонение конфликтных эпизодов с внешней окружающей реальностью, лишний раз подтверждают талант и мастерство литературного гения. Благодаря уму, харизме, остроумию и благородности, моментально ощущаешь симпатию к главному герою и его спутнице. Мягкая ирония наряду с комическими ситуациями настолько гармонично вплетены в сюжет, что становятся неразрывной его частью. Данная история - это своеобразная загадка, поставленная читателю, и обычной логикой ее не разгадать, до самой последней страницы. Создатель не спешит преждевременно раскрыть идею произведения, но через действия при помощи намеков в диалогах постепенно подводит к ней читателя. Темы любви и ненависти, добра и зла, дружбы и вражды, в какое бы время они не затрагивались, всегда остаются актуальными и насущными.

Спасибо Вам огромное за искренный отзыв на мое произведение.С уважением, Холдор Вулкан.(Х.В.)

The second review of an unknown reader about the short novel of Holder Volcano "Falling leaves" in the electronic library "Ridley".

Dear readers, there are interesting books, and there are very interesting books. To what category include the short novel "falling leaves" Holder Volcano you decide! Unwittingly living out the book – then disappear completely in it, then resume, finding Parallels and a private Foundation, and suddenly grow a soul. From the first lines visual images draw attention to themselves, they are in many ways distinct, colorful. The finale is a little tightened, but it compensates a totally unpredictable ending. Thanks to the dynamic and fascinating story, the book keeps the reader in suspense from beginning to end. Harmonious mutual admiration of conflict episodes with the external surrounding reality, once again confirm the talent and skill of the literary genius. Thanks to the mind, charisma, wit and nobility, you instantly feel sympathy for the main character and his companion. Soft irony along with comic situations are so harmoniously woven into the plot that they become an inseparable part of it. This short novel is a kind of mystery posed to the reader, and the usual logic is not to solve it, until the very last page. The Creator is in no hurry to prematurely reveal the idea works, but through the actions with the help of the hints in the dialogues gradually brings to his readers. The themes of love and hate, good and evil, friendship and enmity, no matter what time they are touched upon, always remain relevant and urgent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you very much for the sincere review of my work.
Sincerely, Holder Volcano.
