Tufang – Maqolai Fredrikh Braun

Begohiruzi khona tira va orom bud. Doktor Jeyms Grekhem – sardori  kulli naqshai muhimi makhfi – dar kursii dilpisandi khud nishasta  garqi andesha ast.

Dar chunin lahzahoe, ki u pas az yak ruzi kori purshiddat dar khonai  nimtorik tanho menishast, baso kashfiyoti muhim mekard. Ammo imruz  az chi boshad, ki diqqatashro ba yak matlab jam karda nametavonad, havosash pareshon ast. Rishtahoi andeshai u gashtavu bargashta ba pisa-  rash, ki dar khonai digar kitobi suratdorero varaq mezad, basta megasht.  Pisarak noqisulaql bud. Holo doktor Grekhem uro na bo gazab, balki az  sari mehru navozish peshi nazar meovard.

Az in chand sol muqaddam,  vaqte ki u bori avval kundfahm budani farzandashro pay burd, ba vay  qahru gazab va durushti zohir kard. Vale imruz chunin tasmim megirift,  ki Garri insoni khushbakht ast. Az hama muhimash-hamin. Durust nest?  Na har padaru modar az on iftikhor dorand, ki kudaki onho hamesha  kudak memonadu hargiz volidayni khudro tark namekunad. Grekhem dar  tuli solhoi daroz khudro bo dalelhoi mantiq bovar mekunond, ki za-  ifaqlii pisarash ham az karomoti khudost. Beshak, dalelhoi mantiq ba  sari khud ba kas ziyone nadorand, vale

Sadoi zangi dar baland shud.

Grekhem az jo barkhostu charogro dargirond va ba sui dar raft. “Hej  gap ne, mehmoni nokhonda uro az olami andeshaho dur khohad kard…”.

Darro kushoda u shakhsi noshinocepo did.

-Doktor Grekhem? -pursid mehmon.-Nomi man Nimand. Man ba shumo  gap doram. Ijozat farmoed daroyam?

Grekhem ba mehmon nigarist. Nimand odami qadpast, ifodai ruyash no-  ravshan, ammo mardi khushfel budanash ayon bud. “SHoyad vakili idorai  sugurta boshad. Bigzor har ki boshad, ki budani u ahamiyate nadorad”.  Grekhem ovozi khudro shunid:

— Marhamat, bifarmoed! Daroed, janobi Nimand.

“Lahzae guftugu bo in mard maro shoyad osuda kunad”, az dil guzarond  u.

Onho ba khona daromadand.

-Bishined, -kursi nishon dod Grekhem. -YAgon chiz nushidan mekhohed?

-Ne, tashakkur, – javob dod Nimand.

Mehmon ba kursii rohat nishast. Grekhem ba divan furu aftod.

Odami khurdakak angushtonashro ba ham fishurda ba pesh moil shud  va guft:

– Doktor Grekhem, shumo on shakhse hasted, ki osori ilmii shumo besh  az hama metavonad insoniyatro ba halokat ovarad.

– “Devona, barin», – az dil guzarond Grekhem. U afsus khurd, ki qabl az  khona darovardan uro durusttar nasanjidast. Aknun suhbati noguvore  dar pesh. Grekhem muomilai durusht namekunad, ammo dar chunin mav-  ridho tanho bo durushti hamsuhbati khudro maglub kardan mumkin ast.

– Doktor Grekhem, silohe, ki shumo mashguli sokhtani on hasted…

Mehmon nogahon khomush shudu ba sui dari khonai khob nigarist. Pisa-  rak sui onho davida meomad. Bacha Nimandro nadida ba sui padar tokht.

– Dada, tu hozir ba man kitob khonda medihi? – Bachai ponzdahsola  chunon khandid, ki odatan kudakoni chorsola hamin tavr mekhandand.

Grekhem bacharo ba ogush giriftu ba hamsuhbati khud zehn monda fah-  midani shud, ki u az zaifaqlii Garri bekhabar ast yo ne. Ammo dar rui  Nimand hej yak nishonai hayrat nabud: az afti kor, hama gapro medonad.

– Garri, – navozishkorona guft Grekhem – man kor doram. Andak sabr  kun. Ba khonai khudat rav, man sonitar rafta ba tu kitob khonda mediham.

– Dar borai chujahoi khurd! Tu ba man “CHujahoi khurd”-ro mekhoni?

— Maylash. Rav. Ha, ist. SHinos shav, Garri, in janobi Nimand.

Pisarak ba mehmon tabassum kard.

Hello, Garri, – guft Nimand va dar javobi tabassumi bacha tabassum
kardu az dasti u girift.

Grekhem aknun bovar kard, ki Nimand az sir ogoh ast. Tabassum va  harakathoi u ba kamoloti fikrii Garri muvofiq (ba sinnu soli jismo-  nii bacha) mutobiqat nadoshtand.

Bacha az dasti Nimand girift. U ba sari zonui mehmon nishastan  mekhost, ki Grekhem bo narmi pisarashro yak su kashida guft:

• Kani, aknun ba khonaat rav, Garri.

Bacha yakpoya halloszanon ba khonai khud daromada raftu darro napu-  shid.

CHashmi Nimand ba chashmi Grekhem aftodu bo samimiyati oshkoro guft:

• U ba man maqul ast. Bovar doram har chize, ki shumo ba u mekhoned, haqiqat ast.

Grekhem ba chi ishora kardani mehmonro nafahmid.

• Man dar borai “CHujahoi khurd…” – sharh dod Nimand. – In afso- nai ajib ast. Hosa hamon joe, ki dar afsona osmon ba zamin furu  meaftad… Ba fikram, hamin joi “CHujahoi khurd” az afsona ba haqiqat  tabdil khohad yoft.

Grekhem nogahon ehsos kard, ki Nimand ba u maqul meshavad. Alal-  khusus, az on lahzae, ki pisari u ba Nimand maqul shud, vay ba mehmon  digar guna menigarist. Ammo zudtar in guftuguzorro anjom boyad dod.  Grekhem az joyash barkhost.

– Afsus, janobi Nimand, shumo na tanho vaqti khudro, balki vaqti  maro niz behuda meguzaroned. Man allakay, shumo izhor nakarda, hamai  dalelu davoi shumoro medonam, sadho bor onhoro shunidaam. Balki  shumo shoyad, ba tavri khud haq boshed, ammo baroi man in haqqoniyati  shumo ahamiyate nadorad. Man olimam, faqat — olim, Bale, ba hama  malum ast, ki man silohi dahshatangez mesozam, ki to hol mislashro  jahon nadidaast. Baroi man in siloh muzdi ilovagi ast. Az hama muhi-  mash in ast, ki man ilmro pesh mebaram. Man hamaashro fikr karda,  ba hamin qaror omadam, ki vazifai man ilm ast. Onro odamon chi  mekunand, ba chi maqsad istifoda mebarand, ba man hej dakhle nadorad.

• Doktor Grekhem, okhir, mavjudiyati bashar ba in siloh vobasta bo- shad-chi?
• Man nuqtai nazari khudro ba shumo guftam, janobi Nimand.

Nimand ohista az jo barkhost.

• Hayr, chi iloj, – guft u, – agar shumo dar in mavzu guftugu kardan nakhokhed, man digar chize nameguyam.

U bo dastash peshoniashro molida mond.

• Hush boshed, doktor Grekhem. Ha, bubakhshed… SHumo peshnihod karded, ki yagon chiz nusham… Agar bemalol boshad,..
• Ha, bale, – izhori khursandi kard Grekhem. U digar orom bud. – Viski bo soda menushed?
• Hub.

Grekhem mazarat khosta ba oshkhona baromad.

Vaqte ki u ba nazdi mehmon baromad, Nimand az khobgohi bacha me-
baromad.

• Hobi khush, Garri.
• Ba shumo ham khobi khush, janobi Nimand, – khushholona javob dod Garri.

Grekhem viskiro bo sodaob omekhta ba istakon yakh andokht. Nimand yak  istakon nushidu digarashro rad karda ba sui dari baromad qadame  mond va boz istoda guft:

• SHumo baroi viski rafta buded, man ba pisari shumo tuhfai khur- dakake peshkash kardam. Umedvoram, shumo onro rad namekuned?
• Ne, charo? Tashakkur ba shumo. SHab ba khayr!

Grekhem badi mehmonro gusel kardan darro pushidu ba khonai khobi  pisarash daromad.

• Hama koramon bajo, Garri, – guft u. – Aknun man kame mutolia mekunam…

Nogahon u khomush shud, dar jabinash araqi sard paydo gasht… Bo zuri  iroda khudro ba dast giriftu hayajonashro malum nakarda ba nazdi  kati pisar omad.

• Garri, man bozichaatro yak bor binam.

Vay “bozicha”-ro ohista, bo dasti larzon az dasti bacha giriftu az  nazar guzarond. Dastoni u melarzidand. Az dilash guzasht: “Faqat shakhsi  devona ba dasti kudaki zaifaql tufangi pur az tirro medihad…”
