Artur onro bo khud ba maktab burd. Dar khona ba modarash khabar dod: «Muallimi surud ba man guft, ki gijjak chi tavr sokhta meshavad. Ba man arra va kanifolu shiresh lozim ast”.
Henrieta guft: “Bigzor, pisaram, in korro karda nametavoni”. Ammo vay dar in bora fikr mekard. SHoyad dar kudak istedode hast? Vay ba u on chizero, ki lozim bud, girift va Artur boz chand ruz ba sokhtani gijjak mashgul shud. Vaqte ki kor ba okhir rasid, on ba gijjaki asli shabohat paydo kard. Hatto sado mebarovard. Henrieta ba shodii pi- sarash sharik shud.
SHabho Henrieta dar oshkhona nishasta, ba hisobu kitob mashgul me- shud. Nihoyat vay qalamro ba yak su partoft. Oyo vay jurat mekunad? Artur hanuz kudak bud, ammo dar dahsolagi u ba shonzdahsola shabohat dosht. To in vaqt onho ba on chi ki pesh meguzoshtand, noil gardidand. Vay daroz va daqiq dar in bora fikr kard va vaqte ki chize fikrash mezad, az payi amalkardash meshud.
Inak, ruze vay ba dehkon Myulner sukhan kard. Taklif kard, ki ba vay khatsayri shirfurushiro furushad: “Man durust hisob kardam. Agar shumo rozi boshed, man metavonam dar du sol puli khatsayrro pardokht kunam. Holo man pul nadoram, ki onro ba shumo naqd diham».
Dehqon sarashro takon dod: “CHaro SHumo tashvish mekashed? SHumo kudakoni nobolig dored!”
“Baroi hamin pisarbacha, ki holo shashsola ast, az quttii sigor khudash gijjak sokhtaast. Oyo in chize nest? Naboyad kumak kard?”
“Oyo SHumo mekhohed, ki u kudaki ajib shavad?”
«Man tanho meguyam, ki in pisar dar oyanda sohibi hunar gardad. Zindagii purazobi khudam bas ast. Holo zindagiam bo kumaki SHumo behtar shud. Pisari man niz boyad ruze behtar zindagi kunad va u boyad ruze ba modar siposguzor boshad. Mekhohed ba man kumak kuned?”
Onho boz nishastand. Dehqon muddate khomush mond. Dar okhir dehqon guft. “SHoyad in vazifai masehii man boshad”. Piramard taklifi zanro qabul kard.
“CHand markaro jam kardaam. Bo on arobai kalontar mekharam va agar shumo ba man baroi ruzhoi avval kuzahoi shirro qarz dihed…”
Onho ba sozish omadand.
Henrieta arobai ducharkha kharid. Vay ba joi asp arobaro khud me- kashid.
Az du tarafi aroba kudakon mekashidand.
Elzbet norozigi bayon kard: “Vaqte ki nomzadiamro tasdiq kunand, hamchun dukhtari khizmatrason kor mekunam. Maosh megiram, zero bo shumo hech chiz ba dast nameoram”.
«Tu dukhtari mani, na khizmatgori man. SHodmon bosh, ki in kor ru- ziamonro tamin mekunad”.
Bad se nafar khomushona arobai purborro kashidand. Henrieta labhoyashro gazid. Bachaho modarro medonistand. Agar mushkile dosht, khomush memond.
Ba rui u parda kashida shuda bud. Vay be yagon sukhan ba kudakon ku- zahoro dod. Elzbet noroziyona kuzaro bo asbobi chenkuni girift. Artur niz haqqi khudro giriftu tabassum kard. Henrieta pisarashro sila kard va in mehrubonii gayriodi bud.
Dar vaqtash Henrieta ba dehkon mablagro dod va du sol pas khatsayr molikiyati shakhsiash gasht.
Dar borai piramard boqimondai oila digar khabare nadosht. U fa- romush shuda bud. Bazan maktube yo hatto yak bargae az jonibi Dora meomad. Erikh be nomu nishon bud. Berta va Alfred der-der ba nazdi modar meomadand. Henrieta bo du kudak zindagii khoksorona dosht. Boyad qanoat mekardand. Ammo Elzbeti chordahsola Henrietaro gamgin mekard. Ruze nabud, ki bayni modaru dukhtar janjol nashavad. CHi qa- dare ki Elzbet khudro az modarash dur mekard, hamon qadar muhabbati modar ba pisarash ziyod meshud. Arturi hashtsola az nafrati khohar duri mejust va zeri muhabbati modar panoh mejust.
Henrieta baroi oyandai dukhtar fikr namekard. Oyanda az Artur bud. Tanho tafovuti farzandon ba Henrieta imkon dod, ki pay barad, ki Artur az digar farzandonash farq dorad. Artur hanuz ba yodi gijjak bud, asbobi digar mesokht, ammo muvaffaq nameshud, ba har hol az in kor dast nakashid.
“Oyo gijjaknavoz shudan mekhohi?”
Artur nokhost baland shud. “Namedonam modar. Vaqte ki az maktab meoyam, kor mejuyam va pul meyobam. — Ammo gijaaknavoziro holo ham mekhoham”.
YAk ruz Henrieta yak quttii siyohro ovard. «Ana pisar».
Dar darunash gijjak, bo chor tor va kamona bud. Henrieta onro az marde kharidori karda bud.
Pisarak mujizaro az qutti barovarda, larzid. Vay gijjakro ba dast girifta, savolomezona ba modar nigarist. Henrieta dar nazdi mizi oshkhona nishast. Tavre ki muallimi surudro dida bud, Artur kamonro
kashida, gijjakro zeri manahash guzosht va ba navokhtan sar kard. Kamon ba larza daromad va tanho yak sadoi larzon baromad. Ammo on sado bud.
“Modar!”— dod zad Artur.
Henrieta labhoyashro jafs kard, zero khanda ba girya tabdil yoftan mekhost va ehsostash dar didahoyash namudor shudand.
Artur pushtashro ba modarash gardond, zero u namekhost, ki modarash kushishhoi avalinashro bubinad. Gijjak baroyash holo kalon va noshi- nos bud. Kamoncha daroz. Angushton odat nakarda. Onho chizero ijro kardand, ki ba sadoi musiqi monand bud. Baze sadoho misli faryod budand, ammo on ba Henrieta misli musiqi menamud…………………………………………………………………………………… Oyo pisar dar
haqiqat gijjaknavoz shudan mekhohad? SHoyad sanatkori asil shavad?
Elzbet zud asbobro ba dast girift va pesh az on ki Henriet onro gi- rifta tavonad, gijjakro ba kanori miz zad. On shikast. Elzbet asbobi shikastaro ba zamin partoft va bo ovozi baland az oshkhona baromad. Darro az pasash sakht pushid.
Artur yakh basta ba dar nigarist. Henrieta jahid va az pasi dukhtar raft.
Az muyhoyash kashola karda, ba oshkhona darovard. Artur ba zamin kham shuda, porahoro jam kard. Henrieta ba sari Elzbet vahshiyona dod zad. Elzbet faryod kard. Hudro khalos kardu boz gurekht. Dar boz pushida shud. Henrietaba kursi nishast va dastonashro boloi zonuhoi larzon guzosht — misli sad soli pesh — va bad sarashro ba rui miz guzosht. Vay girya nakard va dar on jo intizor shud, to badanash orom shavad. Artur modarashro tana kard, Henrieta sarashro bardosht. Ruyash ash- kolud bud, ammo vay girya kardan namekhost. Artur bo chashmoni tarsida ba modar nigarist. U mekhost sukhanoni tasallobakhsh guyad, labhoyash az had ziyod melarzidand. Harduro andom yakrang bud.
“Holo bo tu chi kor kunam?” Ovozi Henrieta past bud.
Gijjaki digarro Henrieta ba pisarash nakharid. Vay asbobi shi- kastaro ba satili partov andokht. Artur niz bori digar dar in bora sukhan naguft. Zimiston in dafa tuloni bud.
To mohi aprel barf meborid. Henrieta ba Elzbet man karda bud, ki vazifai khidmatgorro ishgol kunad. Ba vay kudakon lozim budand.
Oila arobai vazninro bolovu poyon mekashid.
Artur misli asp sado kard. Elzbet girya kard. Dar peshi khonaho ta-

“Bahor ham nazdik omad, koramon sabuk meshavad”, guft Henrieta, ki baroi istismori onho khudro gunahkor mehisobid.
Bazan mekhost az in kor dast kashad, ammo agar onho be ruzi monand, chi meshavad? Pisarbacharo hanuz chor soli maktab dar pesh bud. Henri- eta kuzahoi shirro ba farzandon taqsim karda dod. “Raftem, kudakon”.
Elzbet bo dili nokhoham dast ba kuzai shir daroz kard. “Nola nakun. Barodaratro misol gir, baroi vay ham hamon qadar dushvor ast. Hamai mo dushvori mekashem. Biyo!”
Henrieta ruyashro gardond, to azobi kudakonro nabinad.
Begohi Henrieta pas az khob raftani bachaho duru daroz dar oshkhona mond.
Az in pas? Korro bas kunam? Ba zavod ravam? Ruznomahoro taqsim kunam? Ba Alfred navisam? Ba Berta, ba Dora? — YOri dihed, man digar toqat karda nametavonam.
Henrieta bo chunin fikrho khudro fireb medod, ki benatija budand.
Ruznomahoro taqsim kardan, ba korkhonae raftan, ba farzandon navishtan? – Henrieta labonashro gazid. “Baroi khudam zahmat kashidan behtar ast”.
Henrieta charogi kerosinro khomush karda, ba nazdi tireza raft va ba osmoni siyohi shab nigoh kard.
Ba man pul lozim ast. Du hazor marka!
On shab du mushtarii doimii u dar fikrash daromadand.
YAke Rikhard Hanish, konstebl dar mahbasi taftishoti. Bar khilofi kasbi gayridustdoshtaash, odami nekukor bud. Dar tuli solho dar bayni u va oilai Hanish munosibati dustona vujud dosht. Artur va du pisari Hanish dust budand.
Hanish okhirin mushtari dar ruykhati u bud. Bo yak piyola qakhva khudro garm kard.
In dafa u yak sigori garonbahoro bayni angushtonash nigoh medosht. Noziri mahbas, in khushbakht, dar lotereyai davlati burd giriftaast. “Man 10000 marka burd kardam, khonum Balke. Man tanho yak bilet gi- riftam. Burdi asosi sad khazor marka meboshad. — O, ey, agar man yak

Dah hazor marka! SHumo ba in chi megued, khonum Balke? «Henrieta ba in chi boyad meguft? Dah hazor marka. — in imkoniyat ast…CHaro mo niz boyad kushish nakunem?”
Man panj sol boz hamon raqamro bozi mekunam. SHumo ham lotereya bozi mekuned?
-Man pul nadoram»-khoksorona guft Henrieta. «Ammo in kor mear- zad, khonum Balke.»
Henrieta oh kashid: “Agar shumo peshaki medonisted…” Honum Hanish piyolai Henrietaro pur kard. “U imruz boz ham qavitar ast”, tabassum kard.
«Man chashidam”, bo minnatdori javob dod Henrieta. “Burd taso- dufi nabud”, guft khonum Hanish, “Man kumak kardam”. “YOri rasondi”, bo mehri samimi khandid serjant. Azbaski panj sol ast, ki man dar lotereya bozi mekardam, vay har ruzi yakshanbe ba kaliso meraftam.
Hamsaron barobar khandidand.
«Du bor bozi kardan behtar ast – guftam khud ba khud. SHavharam dar qimorbozi va man dar kaliso», andeshamandona guft khonum Hanish.
“Man ba Hudo bovar nadoram, balki ba quvvai khudam etimod meku- nam”, ba tavri jiddi guft Henrieta, “vale bo din nayrangbozi kardan mumkin nest!”.
Hanish ham jiddi shud. “Dar hech kujo bo din ba in qadar nayrangbozi karda nameshavad, magar dar mahbas. Onho khudro daler va khudotars vonamud mekunand-kohinon va ifrotgaroyon hatto surkh nameshavand. YAke dar boloi minbar digare dar zindon: kushtor, otashzani, duzdi, goratgari, qallobi, jinoyathoi badaloqi … boz meravandu dar kaliso az khudo uzr mepursand baroi gunohhoyashon.

Hayron az khonum Hanish Henrieta dar borai faoliyatash pursid: “Oyo shumo sotsial-demokrat hasted?”
Honum Hanish khandid: «SHavhari man – va sotsial-demokrat?»
“Man khizmatchii davlati hastam va koramro ijro mekunam”, — kutoh guft Hanish”. Holo az burdi khud shodam”.
Henrieta az andeshai beparvoyona fishurda shud: “SHumo bo in hama pul chi kor mekuned?”
Hanish be gumon khandid: “Oyo SHumo qisme az in pulro giriftan mekhohed?”
“Hudoyo… Henrieta khudro ba dast girifta, oh kashid: Oh, janobi Ha- nish…”.
Digarash ustoi chelongar Anton Fridrikh bud.
Henrieta ba mohi purra nigoh mekard. Agar Hanish du hazor marka qarz dihad, khub ast… Henrieta on shab khele der khobid va khobi noorom dosht.
Hunukii subh to hol fishorash medod, ammo Henrieta khushbakht bud, bahor nazdik meomad. Hanish tayyor bud, ki mablagro ba vay dihad: «CHaro ne, khonum Balke», — gufta bud u. «Du hazor marka – se foiz. Modar chiro dar nazar dori? Ba har hol omoda ast va pesh az on ki pisaroni mo kalon shavand, shumo onro barmegardoned».
Henrieta boyad bo ustoi chelongar suhbat mekard. “Honai raqami haft dar kuchai Hardenbergershtrasse az SHumo ast, durust?”
«Bale, in khonai man ast».
“YAk khonai oshyonai yakum dar on jo solho boz kholi meboshad. CHaro boz ijora namedihed?”
Fridrikh ruy gardond. “CHor hujra va inchunin oshyonai yakum – ki mekhohad bo narkhi baland ijora girad?”
“Man”- Henrieta tabassumkunon chashmonashro tang kard.
“Honai garonbahoro?”
“Va magozaro” hamon qadar, ki chelongarro ba hayrat meovard, hamon qadar u muloimtar meshud.
«Pas? On magoza nest-ku».
«YAke az hujrahoyash shuda metavonad”.
“CHi, chi tavr?”
Henrieta naqshaashro guft. “Mekhoham magozai shir kushoyam. Dar khona. SHumo mintaqaro medoned. Raqobat nest. Makoni behtarin ast. Hamchun usto shumo medoned, ki in chi mano dorad. Hech ishtibohe nakhohad shud. Gayr az in du farzandi solim doram. – Kani, janobi Fridrikh?» vayro fireft.
«SHumo dar nazar dored, ki man boyad…»
«Man inro dar nazar doram. Agar shumo yak qismi khonaro ba magozai man tabdil dihed, pas in baroi harduyamon pul khohad ovard».
CHelongar dudila khandid. «SHumo jasorat dored».
CHelongar ba zani khurdakak nigarist. Odami bagayrat. Magoza? Kori befoida nakhohad bud. Vay manahashro khorid. «Hub, khonum Balke, boyad dar in bora fikr kard…»
Henrieta ba khursandii vay ahmiyat nadod. «Dar borai in fikr kuned. Ammo na on qadar daroz».
Vaqte ki ruzhoi avvalini garmo faro rasid, ustoho allakay dar on jo budand. Henrieta band shud. Majbur bud, ki puli qarz giriftaro sarfakorona istifoda barad, az bayni mushtariyonash duredgari mayu- bro ba kor girift. Artur bo istifoda az chenak, murabba va qutbnamo naqshai daqiqro kashid. Henrieta sari pisarashro sila kard:
– Pisarak, tu…
Vay angushti khudro ba joi mushakhkhasi eskiz guzosht”. Dar in jo mo yak chizi makhsuse mekunem. Mizi khurd va chand kursi meguzorem. Dar ru ba rui miz guldon meguzorem, ba odamone, ki mekhohand yak piyola shir binushand, khizmat mekunem. In ba shumo maqul ast?”
Iftikhormandona az modari khiradmand Artur sar junbond: “Man niz mekhoham misli SHumo daler bosham”.
Henrieta kame oh kashid: «Pisari daleram… Meguyand kase bechora shud Hudo kuakash mekunad. Tu inro az maktab ham shunidai.
“Bale, modar, medonam. Ammo mardum meguyand: Inson fikr mekunad va Hudo hidoyat”.
»SHumo fikri khudro dored, modar?» «Namedonam, ki chi tavr ba khud khulosa barovardan mumkin nest. Ehtiyoj yak kuhi baland ast. Pisaram, dar poyonash naist, vagarna dar zerash monda, noumed meshavi.

Tu ham metavoni dar in bora fikr kuni. — Ammo aknun biyo dar in bora fikr nakunemu dar borai chi guna magozai khudro tashkil dodan, ki odamon az mo kharidanro dust dorand, andesha kunem».
Misli parranda dar lonaash, Henrieta dar dukoni khud sakht mehnat mekard. Vay har ruz dar justujui taminkunandagoni molhoi gunogun bud. SHartnomai intiqol va pardokht imzo mekard. Dar pahlui muhri shirkat va imzoi molrason nomi u navishta shuda bud, ki chunin bud: “Henrieta Balke”.
Dar nazdi mizi vakolatdor yo direktor dar idorai khususi menishast, khurdakak, khoksor, dar tan chakmani arzon bud, yake az janobon “khonumi mehrubon” gufta murojiatash kard. Vay gazabnok shud.

“YAqin, khonum, shumo az mo qanoatmand khohed shud”.
Garchande ki tijorati Henrietaro khurd va faqat ba miqdori kam mol mekharid, ammo janobi oliqadr har yak kharidorro khush istiqbol mekard. CHorvoi mayda niz sargin dorad.
Jahone, ki Henrieta to on vaqt medonist, bo quvvai jodugarii du hazor marka ba jahoni ajoib tahrifshuda tabdil yoft. Bazan vay hanuz ham melarzid. Vaqte ki vay nomi khudro zeri shartnoma guzosht, di- lash nigaron bud, zero dar on yak bandi dahshatnok mavjud bud: “Rioya nakardani uhdadorihoi pardokht…” Misli khargush dar peshi mor bud. Bad ba janobe, ki shartnomaro bo imzoi u qabul kard, tabassum kard.
Ammo vaqte ki az idorai khususi ba rohi kushod baromad, boz ba khud omad. Ne, janobon, nametavoned maro tang kuned, man ham nameguzo- ram, ki sakhtgir bosham. Ana moli man, ana puli shumo. Mo bo yakdigar kore nadorem.
Onho ba khonai nav kuchidand. Vaqte ki khona jihozonida shud, tajhi- zoti kuhna dar nazdi devor guzoshta shudand: vertikoi qahvarang, sanduqho, divani zardshuda… Voy bar holaton agar bitarsed… Ruze milisae omada, hamaatonro az kujoe, ki omada buded, ba onjo meronad.
YAgon milisa naomad. Ba joi u moli farmoishi omad, az tarafi ja- nobi olihimmat sarivaqt firistoda shuda bud. Gulchanbarho az serjant Hanish, az chelongar Fridrikh, az mushtariyoni sobiq meomadand. Jahon nek menamud, mardum dustona.
Henrieta ba on umed basta bud, ki dehkon Myulner dukonashro bo shir tamin mekunad, ammo on kifoyat namekard. Vay ba u shakhsero tavsiya kard, ki shirro ba miqdori ziyod istehsol mekard va ba shahr miqdori ziyod mefiristod. Ba Henrieta dar yak ruz shast litr lozim bud. Bo in hajm on shakhs bo shir dukonro tamin nakard.
Az vokzal borro girifta ovard va ba dukon kashola karda darovard. bad ba oshkhona rafta guft, ki kushish khele ziyod bud. Nafasash megasht,

Bisyor darho baroyash kushoda shuda budand, az zamone, ki piramardro ronda bud. Tavassuti tamomi darho be tarsu haros roh meraft, zero zindagi digar nashuda bud. Vay hamesha khizmatgor boqi mond. Ba vositai in dar vale vay digar ba sifati khizmatgor nameraft.
Ba Elzbet guft, ki libosi digar pushad. Modaru dukhtar libosi safed pushidand. Onho ba hamdigar gap namezadand. Soati muhim faro rasid.
Vaqte ki Henrieta darro kushod, Elzbet dar pasis mizi dukon istoda bud. Aknun ba aqib gashtan mushkil bud.
Henrieta hej goh in qadar ba pesh harakat nakarda bud.
Avvalin mizojon omadand. Kunjkovi ziyod bud. Dukoni nav ba kor daromad. SHiri taru toza, ravganash zardi zard, navkhoi ziyodi panir, yak tukhm shash tin.
Mol bar ivazi pul! Mubodilai ajib. Tangaho merekhtand kassa puri pul shud.
Vaqti nisfiruzi savdo past shud. Henrieta dukhtarashro baroi tayyor kardani khuroki nisfiruzi firistod. Artur az maktab ba khona omad. Vay misli duzd ba khona daromada, ba utoqe, ki bo dukon hamdevor bud, daromad va az tireza korro tamosho mekard. Vaqte ki khazinai dukon sado dod, u shodmoni kard.
Dar avval hama chiz khub raft. Magoza boqimondai oilaro boy na- gardond, ammo zindagii khoksoronaro misli peshtara tamin mekard.
Baroi andoz, daromad, ijora va vekselhoi ziyod Henrieta har begoh pul judo mekard. Tudahoi tanga Elzbetro meranjondand.
Vay muzdi kor mekhost.
“Muzdi mehnat? Tu inro chi guna tasavvur mekuni? Tu kormandi man nesti”.
Henrieta ba chand pul, ki dar kassa boqi monda budand, ishora kard. “In zindagi boqi memonad va az in tu maosh mekhohi?”
«Man shonzdahsolaam va kor mekunam. Dar joi digar man baroi mehnatam pul megiram».
Henrieta az jo barkhosta, onro mahkam kard. Ba dukhtarash ruy ovarda, duru daroz nigoh kard. Homushi. Aslan, dukhtar haq ast.
«Man ba tu muzdi kor doda nametavonam».
Artur dastonashro bayni zonuho guzosht. Ba khud guft: «Modar boyad pulro az kujo girad?»
Elzbet ba barodarash dod zad: “Homush shav, tu chi kor mekuni, be- korkhuja?”
“Artur tanho kudak ast”, Henrieta pisarashro himoya kard. Elzbet gazabnok shud. Henriet oh kashid: “Aknun badbakhti boz barmegardad. Agar khohari tu aqlashro kor farmoyad – mo qanoatmand meshavem”.
«Man kor kardan mekhoham, modar, metavonam kurtai safed giram?”
Henrieta sar junbond: »To imruz kase nishasta shir nakhurdaast.
Magozai mo aslan makoni nushoki nest».
Munosibati modaru dukhtar bad shud. Pesh az on ki Henrieta baroi giriftani shir ba istgoh ravad, Elzbetro bedor kard: “Barkhez”.
Vazifai dukhtar har sahar toza kardani dukon bud. Vaqte ki Henrieta az istgohi rohi ohan bo bankakhoi vaznin bargasht, dukonro iflos yoft. Ba oshkhona raft.
“Elzbet dar kujost?”
Artur, ki khuroki nisfiruzii maktabashro tayyor mekard, javob na- dod, Henrieta shitobon ba khonai khob daromad. Elzbet hanuz dar bistar bud. CHashmonash pushida budand. Henrieta guft: “Ba tu chi shudaast?”
Elzbet ba devor ru ovard:

“Magoza chi meshavad?”

Henrieta kurparo kashola kard: »Hez!”
Bo nigohi gazabnok dukhtar az joyash khestu faryod kard: “Man name- khoham! Man digar hatto ba magoza nameravam!»
Henrieta ba ba rui dukhtar shappotie zad.
Uro khashm faro girift, vay dastashro bolo bardosht. Pas az nim soat avvalin kharidoron omadand va magoza hanuz pur az gard bud. Henrieta ba oshkhona raft. Artur digar dar on jo nabud.
Henrieta zud ba rubu chini magoza shuru kard. Vay hanuz dar magoza

Mizojon ziyod shudandu boloi lattai farsh va girdi satil gashtu guzor kardand. Henrieta ba mushtariyon shir dodanro ogoz kard, zero khudro az dast nadoda bud. CHande pas ba nazdi dukhtarash raft. Va bo qahr guft: “Tu mushtariyoni maro bo in kor dur mekuni. Ba fikri tu, oyo zanho ba chunin joi iflos barmegardand?”
Elzbet chize naguft. Ammo pas az chande vay az joyash jastu harf zad: “Man ba joe meravam, ki pul kor kunam”.

Sadoi zangi dari magoza baromad. Be sado Henrieta dukhtarashro tark kard.
Hushdilona u mizojro peshvoz girift. “Subh ba khayr. Nim kilo pa- nir, lutfan. Vay taru toza ast».
Vay molro barkashida, bor karda, tashvishu iztirobro az khud dur kard. “Bo zira, namak va murch, vay misli qaymoq megardad. In khuroki nisfiruzii khub ast».
Vay bastaro ba zan dod: «Ana».
CHunin boyad boshad. Dar bayni khona va dukon devori judokunanda vujud dosht, vale vaqte ki mizoj raft, tabassum dar pasi pardai gam pinhon shud. Fikrhoyash uro khasta kardand. Honum Hanish omad. Henrieta khijolati zanro pay burd. »CHi?«— dilsuzona pursid vay.
Honum Hanish boz ham beshtar khijolat kashid. “Odamon gap meza- nand…”
“Oyo to hol gap mezanand?”- pursid Henrieta.
Honum Hanish chize naguft, zero khomush budan az sukhan guftan oson- tar bud.
“Man baroi dukhtaram gam doram”-iqror shud Henrieta, “ammo tagyi- rot meshavad, khonum Hanish. Parvo nakuned, SHumo pulatonro megired».
«Gap dar borai puli mo nest. Man khavotiram, odamon gap mezanand».
Henrieta Elzbetro hangomi non tayyor kardan dar oshkhona daryoft.
Kordro az dasti dukhtarash girifta nonro ba nongirak guzosht: “Kase, ki baroi man kor namekunad, naboyad az noni man khurad”.
Elzbet ba modarash nigarista, ba aqib gasht, ammo Henrieta dasti

Elzbet hushdor dod: “Man ba joe meravam, ki pul kor mekunam”.
«Tu dar khona memoni va dar in jo kor mekuni».
«Man meravam!»-dod zad ba rui modar.
“Nametavoni be rozigii man biravi, holo nobolig hasti!”
Henrieta nishast. “Mo chi khel oilaem… chikhel farzand doram…”
«Pisari azize dori, ki kor namekunad, ammo mekhurad.«
Zangi magoza boz sado dod. Henrieta ba dukon raft. CHun bargasht, Elzbet digar dar on jo nabud. Vay khidmatgori namoyandai yak korkhonai shokolad shud. Honum az on shod shud, ki in qadar zud dubora dukhtar paydo kard, zero hej kadomash az chand moh ziyod kor namekard.
Hujrai tangu be tireza, ki qablan hamchun yak anbor istifoda meshud, manzili Elzbet gasht. Dar pahlui kati ohani jevon bud, az in ru dar hujra tanho fazoi kofi mavjud bud. CHarogi kerosin dar shift ovezon bud. Elzbet in surokhiro ba hujrai ravshani khonai modarash ivaz kard. Bo sarkashiash, ki az khona baromada bud, shikoyat nakard. Vay az pagoh to begoh mehnat mekard, du bachai sohibonash bo u nodurust raftor mekardand. Elzbet bar ziddi onho kore karda nametavonist.
Vay az sahar to begoh kor mekard.
Henrieta tanho mond va hamaro khud nigohubin mekard. Magozavu khona boyad toza nigoh doshta meshudand. Gami khurokro niz boyad u mekhurd. Liboshoro boyad meshust. Agar Henrieta dar magoza kore namedosht, hangomi nabudani mizojon dar khona zahmat mekashid. Zangi dari mago- za baland shud, u korashro bas kard.
Aknun vay boz ba hayvoni khonagi tabdil yoft va borash du marotiba vaznintar gardid. Az on metarsid, ki digar libosi safed nadosht. Besh- tar ba mizojon bo dastoni chirkinu tar khizmat rasond. Frida, Minna, Roza, khizmatgordukhtaron intizor nabudand, ki janobon tukhm, ravganro az magozai iflos mekharand. Baze ruzho ba Henrieta lozim meomad, ki az vokzal yak kuzai bistlitri biyorad. Hazina orom shud va tangaho ham kamtar shudand. Janobon shartnomahoi intiqoliro buridand va miqdori molhoe, ki Henrieta farmoish mekard, toraft kam meshud. Hamin tavr, Henrieta ruze ba dari magoza takhtaero kashol kard: “Az sababi bemori basta ast” va bo Artur ba roh baromad. Vay ba bozor
raft. Dar in jo dehqonon bisyor budand. Vay kasero yoft, ki ba u bo narkhi dastras molero, baroi dukon lozim bud, tamin mekunad. Pas az dars Artur arobaro ba sui bozor burd va molro ba dukon ovard. Henrieta harchand ravgan mefurukht, khudi u bo pisar arzontarin navi margarinro mekhurdand. Vay namedonist ki biguyad, ki chi tavr ba in muyassar shud, ki ruzash be qarz guzarad.
Ruze vay maktubi rasmi girift, ki dar navishta shuda bud, ki chopku- nanda Anton Fridrikh Balke vafot kardaast. Navishtaro ba pisar dod, vaqte ki u az maktab ba khona omad. Pisarak khond va khomushona kogazro ba yak su guzosht. Henrieta tabassum kard. »Boyad girya kard, vaqte kase memirad, durust ast?”
Ovozash dagal bud. Artur az modarash ruy gardond va guft: “Man hej goh padar nadoshtam, man hamesha modar doshtam”.
Henrieta pisarakro ba nazdi khud kashid. «Duvozdah farzand! SHash nafari onho favtidand. Panj nafari digar maro tark kardand. Tu okhirini. Tu ham ruze maro tark mekuni?”
CHehrai az ashkho medurakhshid.
– “Hej goh modar!..”
Henrieta muddati tuloni ba pisarash nigoh kard. Vay pay burd, ki pisarash ba digaron monand nest. Hamai onho khislati shakhsero doshtand, ki shahodatnomai margash dar rui miz bud. Dar chehrai Artur vay hej chizro nadid.
Oyo u ba vay shabohat dosht? CHashmonash chizero inikos mekard, ki dar on vaqt dar chashmi vay bud. Sadoi ovozash chun aksi sadoi on zamon ba gushash merasid.
On chi qadar, ki dur bud, hamon qadar nazdik shud…
