- Dildorbegim’s solaces
The old woman, feeling that he had become silent, and that her grief
was the cause of this, challenged him and asked him about his past.
Murgak jom cup – my heart is full of whey, Dildorbegim was ashamed to
talk only about Bakhadir, he did not hide anything from her, except who’s
daughter, where she was from, what trades fell on her head, how she ended
up in the desert – she told everything in full, and about her parents
separately he spoke sadly.
The old woman listened to his pain and encouraged him, even though
he was filled with grief. He said, “O God, let the infidels die and be driven
back to where they came from, and you also return safely to your parents’
bosoms!” “In shaa Allah, In shaa Allah!” Dildorbegim also intended.
Old Suleiman happily found a mummy and said: “If you drink this, your
wounds will heal quickly, mother and daughter!” Did I like the mountain air,did the ointments and herbs prepared by the old woman heal, or did the
mummy show her strength? In two weeks, the scars on her face
disappeared, she turned pale as the moon, and she became a girl with such
shy cheeks that the old woman’s eyes looked at her. When the rich man’s
son came from Dashnabad with three or four brothers, he carefully dressed
himself as a young man and led the flock in front of him and did not come
near the hay until the guests had left.
The old man Suleiman laughed, and the old woman touched his heart,
saying that there is a secret in this. Dildorbegim did not hide her secret
from the old woman who became like her mother, she told everything that
happened between her and Bakhadirbek, and even spoke with regret and
concern about her mysterious disappearance in the following days.
The old woman encouraged him again.
“Say to God, mother’s daughter, I’m sorry for you too, if you moan
earnestly, you’ll get enough!” – he said, holding her in his arms.
“Dildorbegim had a hard time not being able to say the wish in his
throat, since he heard the old woman’s lament about the child, he tried to
please his tongue by saying a few sweet words, but he had a hard time not
knowing how to express his feelings.” What does he say? It was a different
matter when he was the same age as the old woman. When they were
young: “You will see a child, everything is ahead!” would have cheered him
- “Well, they had sex with each other, but they didn’t have children. God
cut them off from their children! Why, why?! What are their crimes?!”

– Haven’t you seen my cat?
The old woman, who noticed the concern in the eyes of Dildorbegim,
who was watching the surroundings of the grass, said:
“Don’t worry, my daughter, he probably walked around here!” – he said,
trying to calm her down.
Tillerbegim went to the cliff.
– Nowhere, where are we? – he said worriedly. – He didn’t even show
black all day.
Old Suleiman:It will be found, mother and daughter, you have a smart cat,” he said
encouragingly.
“My cat doesn’t do this for nothing,” said the suspicious mice in the
garden of the heart of my Dildorbegim. “I’m sorry, Bahadirbek, are you
safe?”
The cat did not show up the next day either, he had inquired, old
Suleiman shrugged his shoulders, the old woman’s face was filled with
worry. “What a strange cat!”
The “golden day” of spring dressed in white, the “golden day” of the
Navruz holiday, is approaching, humid, soft days, if the weather is clear
until noon, after noon, the rain begins to sing its “song”. On his way to the
city, to the market, the old man Sulaiman saddled a red horse, took the
khurjun from the hand of the old woman, and rode it:
-Tell the boy, I’ll ask his parents too!
The old woman laughed at the old man’s innocent joke:
– If you make your boyfriend happy, our heads would reach the sky! –
he said happily.
In the evening, when the old man was sitting alone, Dildorbegim, who
had returned from herding the sheep, was heartbroken. If they get my
message, it seems that I will be a disaster for them too.”
The old woman sighed for some reason.
Dildorbegim:
– What’s up, grandpa, grandma? – he asked impatiently. Patience
eluded him, his nerves were frayed, to the extent that he would burst if he
did not ask.
Old Suleiman stared at the ground.
– You will be heavy, my daughter! Your mother could not bear the pain
and handed over her savings! Your father also fell from his horse…
Dildorbegim screamed.
A week later, the cat returned: emaciated, his legs were swollen, his
fur was falling out, and the skin on his shoulders was in an itchy state.
Dildorbegim bent over and took it in his hand.
– What happened to you, how are you? Where did you get stuck? – she
caresses.
The old woman brought ointment and white cloth and tied the
animal’s leg. The cat looked back and gave a forced meow.This is the one who went home! – said Dildorbegim, tears came to his
eyes, he wanted to say something else, his heart was stuck in his third
throat, and he bowed his head.
