On solho padaram va modaram taqriban har shabu ruz davo mekar- dand va saru sado ba roh meandokhtand. Vaqte davoyashon shuru meshud, ranghoyashon kabud megasht, chehrahoi khashine megiriftand. Bo qahr sari hamdigar faryod mekashidand va ba yakdigar dashnom medodand. Va har

Va in jumla hamesha gazabi padaramro duchandon mesokht.bilokhira hamsoyagon meomadand va padaramro berun meburdand. On vaqt moda- ram giryaro megirift va muddati daroz megirist.
Mavzui davo hamesha khonae bud, ki dar on zindagi mekardem. Pa- daram mekhost az in khona baroem, vale modaram du poyashro dar yak muza karda bud, ki behtar az in khona yoft nameshavad, boyad khaminjo bimonem. Padaram baroi tark guftani khona daloili ziyode dosht. Masalan yak ruz dida budam, ki az chapi utoq pusti mor aftoda ast. Az hamin jihat hamesha dar zimni davo faryod mezad:

Va modaram javob medod:

Hamchunon yak shab padaram dar havlii tangu kuchaki mo zani saped- pushero didi bud, ki dar dam ba buzgolai siyohe badal shuda, az sari devor ba kucha jasta bud. Az hamin ru shabho goliban ba khob nameraft va dar bistar gam-gam mekard:

Ba gayr az inho, utoqhoyamon sakht namnok budand. Devorhoi utoqho darz doshta budand va ankabutho loyi – loyi darzho lona karda bu- dand. CHubhoi saqfi utoqho, ki misli angushthoi odamhoi mubtalo ba bemorii sil zardu norak budand, zeri fishori pohoi gurbahoe, ki rui bom mejangidand, melarzidand va khok misli boron bar saru ruyamon merekht.

Karochi nopadid meshud va padaram zeri nigohhoi tamaskhuromezi mardum dar hole, ki dasthoyashro ba ham memolid, ba khona dokhil meshud va davoi hamesharo bo modaram shuru mekard.

Agar modaram namekhost in khonaro tark kunad, illatash on bud, ki namekhost zani attorro az dast bidihad.

Man misli bachahoi digari kucha zindagii besaru somone doshtam,

YAk ruz subh padaram ba man guft:
- Tu digar buzurg shudai!
Az sina to nuki poyamro az nazar guzarondam. Mekhostam daryobam, ki chiguna buzurg shudaam. CHize nayoftam va padaram afzud:
- Digar poyatro az kucha jam mekunam.
Nafahmidam, ki chi tavr poyamro az kucha jam mekunad. Padaram boz ham guft:
- YAk soatsozro meshinosam. Mebaramat peshi u, ki soatsoziro yod bigiri.
Dilam zavq zad. Baroi in ki dukonhoi soatsoziro dida budam, ki pur az soathoi gunoguni khurdu buzurg ast. Peshi khudam guftam:
– CHi khub, har ruz metavonam soathoro boz kunam va daruni onhoro bubinam.
Padaram pursid:
– CHi tavr, khush hasti?
Javob dodam:
– Ho, khush hastam.
Modaram dastu ruyamro shustu koloi pokizae pushonidam. Bad padaram dastamro girift va raftem. Pa- daram ba yak dastash ba kasaash girifta bud va ba yak dasti digarash maro az dunbolash me- kashid. Saraki daro- zero paymudem va az chandin bozori muz-
diham[2] guzashtem. Bilokhira ba yak dukoni kuchaki soatsozi rasidem. Dukoni muhaqqire bud va az pushti shishai on soathoi kuhna va far- sudae dida meshud. Dar dukon marde choq va kutohqade nishasta bud, ki pirohan va dundoni zardrange ba tan dosht va kulohi torii safede ba sarash bud.
Agarchi hanuz avvali subh va havo khele muloim bud, ammo az shaqiqaho va pushti gardani mardi soatsoz donahoi shaffofi araq ba poyin melulid. Bo ovoze, ki shabehi kudakoni haftsola bud, bo padaram ahvolpursi karda. Padaram guft:
– Ovardamash!
Soatsoz bo hamon ovozi kudakona guft:
– Hub kardi, khub kardi.
Bad bo chashmhoi reza-rezaash saropoyamro az nazar guzaronida guft: – Bachai khube, malum meshavi.
Padaram miqdore bo u suhbat kard va bad ba man guft:
– In Koko Nazar ustodat ast. Fahmidi? Har chi meguyad, hamon tavr bikun. Digar khudam meyoyam va mebaramat. Padaram raft. Gussai noshi- nose bar dilam sangin mekard. Ba nazaram omad, ki giriftori hodisai bade shudaam. Ba nazaram omad, ki chizero az dast dodaam.

Soatsoz araq merekht. Ba nazaram omad, ki zeri kulohi torii u yak makhzani pinhonii ob vujud dorad va az in makhzani kuchak qatrahoi ob rui shaqiqaho va pushti gardani soatsoz sarozer meshavad.
Boz ham khomush bud. Rui chavki chubine nishasta budam. CHavkii no- rohate bud. Badanro meozurd va man paiham rui on jobajo meshudam va boz ham soathoi kuhnaro az nazar meguzaronidam.
Bilokhira, soatsoz sarashro baland kard, sui man didu bo hamon ovozi kudakonaash pursid:

Rui chavki jobajo shudam va javob dodam:
– SHukr, khub hastam.
Dubora sarash rui soati bandidasti kham shud va sargarmi korash gasht. Man ba shaqiqai rostash khira shuda budam va donahoi araqero, ki
az zeri kulohi torii safedash ba poyin melajzidand, meshumurdam. YAk qatrai shaffof az shaqiqaash sarozer shud. Az rui aloshaihoyash gu- zasht va raft ba poyin ba rui guluyash. YAk qatrai digar hamin masiri qatrai avvaliro dunbol kard. Vaqte bo qatrai avvali yakjo shud, raf- tand poyintar va dar yakhani zeri pirohanash daromadand. YAk qatrai digar ham poyin lagjid va betaklif raft zeri yakhanash. Ba dunboli on qatrahoi chorumi va panjumi ham sarozer shudand.
Vaqte dah qatrai tamom zeri yakhani u khazidand, yakhani zardrangash kam-kam martub shud. Fikr kardam:
- Boyad dastmole medosht, ki araqhoyashro pok kunad. Boyad… Rishtai fikram burida shud. Zero yak qatrai bisyor buzurg rohashro kaj karda omada bud nazdi yak kunji rosti chashmash va mekhost jilutar biravad va dokhili chashmash shavad. Fikr kardam:
- Agar ba chashmash biravad norohat meshavad.
Vale qatrai araq misli mutare, ki tilash khalos shavad, nogahon istod. Digar jilutar naraft. Kame rohat shudam. Bar chavki jobajo gashtam va boz ham fikr kardam:
- YAk dastmol zarur ast.
Nogahon zaraboni qalbam shadidtar gasht. CHi bad! YAk qatrai digar bo kamoli surat dar masiri qatrai qabli poyin omad. Agar bo on avvali yakjo meshud, favran meraftand ba dokhili chashm, ammo vaqte nazdi yak qatrai qabli rasid, az suratash kosta shud. Bad istod, vale pas az lahzae ba qatrai avvali nazdiktar shud. Hudoyo, tanho yak angusht fosila doshtand. Badan fosila boz ham kamtar shud.
Bar shiddati zaraboni qalbam afzuda gasht. YAk bor ba fikram gasht: – Boyad az yakjo namudani onho jilavgiri kunam.
Vale chigunaimkon dosht az in hodisa jilavgiri kunam. Ba fikram gasht:
- CHaro khudash mutavajjeh nameshavad?
Natavonistam dar borai javobi in savol biyandesham. Baroi in ki digar qatrai buzurg khele ba qatrai qabli nazdik shuda bud. Qalbam ba shiddat mezad va nave iltihob vujudamro faro girifta bud. Qatra boz ham nazdiktar shud. Beikhtiyor az jo baland shudam.
Soatsoz sarashro bolo kardu bo angushtash har du qatrai araqro bardosht. Nafasi rohat kashidam va bar joyam nishastam. Soatsoz suyam
did. Nogahon bo ovozi boriki kudakonaash khandaro sar dodu guft:

Guftam:

Boz ham dar hole, ki mekhandid, sarosari badani choqash az shiddati khanda takon mekhurd, bo angushtash arzoyashro[3] pok kardu guft:
– Araq misli soat ast.
Ba fikr furu raftam. Mekhostam daryobam, ki chi chizi araq misli soat ast. Hech shabohate nayoftam. Soatsoz pursid:
– To holo daruni soatro didai?
Javob dodam:
– Ne.to holo nadidaam.
Pas biyo, nazdiktar. Biyo, ki nishonat bidiham.
Raftam nazdik va saramro rui soat kham kardam. CHizi jolibe bud. Parzahoi zarif va kuchake rui yakdigar qaror doshtand. CHandtoi onho davri khud mecharkhidand. Digarho beharakat ba nazar meomadand. So- atsoz, ki ovozi boriki kudakonaash asroromez shuda bud, guft:

Soatsoz parzai zarifero nishon dod, ki ba chapu rost, ba surati nimdoirae mecharkhid va guft:
– Inro mebini, misli qalbi most. Vaqte harakat nakunad va biistad hamai parzahoi digar az harakat meaftand.
Boz ham ovozi boriki kudakonaash khandaro sar dod va dar miyoni khanda guft:

– Mefahmi, qalbi man kharob ast? Har vaqt in parza az harakat bimonad, hamai parzahoi digar az harakat meaftand va yak ruz.yak ruz hatman az harakat memona!
Homush shud va dar andesha raft. Hanuz soat dar dastash bud. Ovozi khafife az harakati parzaho barmekhost. Man majzubi harakati in
parzaho budam.
Soatsoz orom-orom guft:

– Ne, namefahmam.
Zavqida guft:
– Boloi sari most. Oftob.oftobro meguyam. Har vaqt az gardish bimond, in jahon nobud meshavad. Araqashro bo angushtonash pok kard va afzud:

Bad, soatro nazdiki gusham ovard va guft:

Soat sado mekard: tik, tik, tik va man shigiftizada bo labkhande javob dodam:

CHashmhoi rez-rezaash buzurgtar shuda bud va bo nave hayajon me- larzid. Bo angushtash chand zarbat rui sinai chapam navokht va guft:

Kafi dastam rui qalbam guzoshtam va tapishi qalbamro his kardam. Soatsoz guft:

Guftam:

Handai piruzmandonaro sar dod:
– Guftam ki misli soat hastem. Hamai mo misli soat hastem. Hamon tavre, ki soat yak ruz meistad. (Rui sinai chapash chand zarba zad), inam yak ruz mistad.yak ruz hama chiz…dar miyoni khomushi ba andesha furu raft. Donahoi araq hamchunon furud meaftod. Ba nazaram omad, ki on makhzani pinhoni zeri kulohi torish namome nadorad. Holo digar yakhani perohanash komilan martub shuda bud va ruyash monandi porchai yakhi, ki dar oftob guzoshta shuda boshad, medurakhshid. Nogahon bo ovozi kudakonaash qahqahai digarero sar dod:

Handa majolash nadodu man ba nazaram omada hamon tavre, ki zeri kulohash yak makhzani pinhonii ob ast, dar darunash ham yak makhzan khanda
vujud dorad, ki rishtahoi khanda az in makhzani pinhoni berun mezanad va az dahanash mebaroyad.
Hamon tavre, ki mekhandid, guft:
– YAk qissa baroyat mekunam.yak qissa.padaram maro hech dust nado- sht. Har kore, ki mekardam, ba nazarash bad meyomad. Modaram murda bud va modarandaram padaramro tahrik mekard, ki maro bizanad. va padaram har ruz maro mezad.yak ruz yak hamsoyai mo omad va az padaram pursid, ki charo maro mezanad. Padaram javob dod, ki hech isloh nameshavam. On vaqt hamsoyaamon pursid, ki ba rosti isloh nameshavam. Padaram guft, ki ba rosti isloh nameshavam va hamsoyai mo guft: “Hub, in bacha misli yak parzai soat ast. Digar kor namekunad, dur biyandozash!”
Padaram ham in gapro shunid va yak ruz darvozai kucharo ba ruyam bast. On vaqt ba in fikr aftodam, ki boyad bidonam chi tavr parzai yak soat kor mekunad. Raftam peshi yak soatsoz va guftam: “Maro shogird megiri?» Soatsoz pursid: «Padarat kist?» Javob dodam: “Padaram murda!” Guft: “Biyo, shogirdi man hasti». Bad shogirdi soatsoz shudam va donistam, ki chi tavr yak parzai soat kor mekunad.
Soatsoz, ki chehraash az rutubat araq medurakhshid, boz ham bo ovo- zi kudakonaash khandid. Handaash in bor khele daroz bud va sarosari badanashro takon medod. Man ba fikri on mazani pinhoni khanda aftodam. Bad mutavajjehi makhzani obi zeri kulohi torrish shudam va az khudam pursidam:

Sipas tavre sui man nigarist, ki angor mekhost biguyad: “On parzahoi badani tu kharob nashudaand?”
YAk qadami digar bardosht:

Ba nazaram omad, ki mekhost maro ham misli on soati devori boz kunad. Tarsi bekarone dar raghoyam david. Tamomi qudratamro dar pohoyam jam kardam va ba sui dari dukon davidam. YAk oyina shikast. Man khudamro berun andokhtam va gurekhtam.
Vaqte khub dur shudam, ruyamro gashtondam va didam, ki soatsoz daha- ni dukonash istoda ast, shii choqumonand dar dast dorad va bo shiddat

Bo ishkol rohi khonaaamonro paydo kardam. Vaqte nazdiki khona rasidam, didam, ki mardum dahani darvozai mo gird omadaand. Bo shitob ba havli raftam. Malum shud, ki chubhoi saqfi utoqi mo poyin aftodaand. Hamsoyaho khudoro shukr mekardand, ki ba kase sadama na- rasida ast. Padaram golmagol mekard va ba modaram dashnom medod. Modaram meguft:

Va ba sui devori utoqamon tuf kardam.
Padaram bo nigohi tahsinomeze ba suyam nigarist va modaram ba girya daromad. Ba nazaram omad, ki az modaram dur andokhtani in soat sakht gussa mekhurad. Baroi tasallii u guftam:
