At the beginning of spring, when everything else had been taken care of, Qosim stayed on to remove the winter covering from the vines and tie them to their stakes. He was so carried away by his task that he failed to accompany the elderly G’ozi-xo’ja, as he had intended, on his way to pay respects at the graves of the holy men in Eski-Novqat. At the time, Oyxon’s two younger sisters were staying with a neighbour to study more advanced reading and writing. The older boy was with his father; only the youngest, Nozim, was still at home. And, early in the morning, Nozim was still asleep. |
Ўша эрта кўклам ҳам бошқа ишларини битириб бўлгач, Сайид Қосим буларнинг икки тупгина токини очиб бериш важҳида яна Эски-Новқатига қайтишга кеч қолди. Ҳолбуки Сайид Ғози-хожа ўша куни Янги-Новқат томон Саҳобани зиёрат қилгани ўзининг 14 яшар ўғли Сайид Олим билан йўлга чиққан эди. Ойхон-пошшанинг икки синглиси маҳалладаги Отинча-бувиникига дарс олгани чиқиб кетишган, ёлғиз кенжатой Сайид Нозимхон уйда ҳали ҳам уйқусидан турмаган эди. |
‘Your good health, cousin!’ Oyxon greeted him, spreading a cloth on the ground and laying some flatbread on it. ‘Come and have some tea!’ ‘As you wish,’ he replied. He moved to where she had laid out breakfast. Watching the girl get up to return to the house, her slender figure supple as a vine, he surprised himself by calling out, ‘I need your help!’ Oyxon looked around. ‘What for, cousin?’ She said the word ‘cousin’ so gently that Qosim couldn’t help missing a breath at the implications. He could barely whisper: ‘Would you mind holding the ladder? The crossbeams on the stakes are too thin, and I need to tie the vine branches firmly…’ Oyxon spun round to face him. ‘As you wish…’ |
Шу пайт чойини кўтариб Ойхон-пошша келиб қолди. “Ҳормангиз, ака!” – деб сўрашди-да, қўлтиғидаги қийиқчани ёзиб, ичидаги нонни ушатди, чойни пиёлага қуйиб имо қилди: “Чойдан ичиб олинг, қувват бўлади!”. “Майлингиз!”, - деб жавоб берди Сайид Қосим ва дастурхонгача яқинлашар экан, Ойхон-пошшанинг анави гажак-гажак шўралар каби ўгирилиб, уй томон кетажагини пайқади-да, бирдан: - Менга ёрдамингиз керак эди, Ойпошша! - деди. Ойхон бир қиё боқди-да: - Нима эди, ака? - деб сўради. Бу “ака” деб айтган сўзида неларни англамади ўша он Сайид Қосим-йигит, дами ичига тушиб кетиб, қарийиб шивирлади: - Шотини ушлаб туролмайсизми. Ишкомнинг тепаси нозикроқ, шўрани боғлаб олай... Ойхон бебоғ шўрадек ялт этиб ўгирилди. - Майлингиз... |
