I know, you have been waiting for the spring for too long,
You have asked it from every single grass.
You have no idea, deep to my heart,
Spring has already come, when you came to it.
Why are you so impatient?
Impatient about thoughts of swallow’s sweet song.
Do not trust to spring. It will pass,
And will throw you to the thoughts of love.
For the almond’s semi-pink flowers to bloom,
You wait with pain and grief.
But in the cold days of February,
One flower was bloomed. You could not see.
The spring’s initial warmness to your heart,
Was not given by the Sun, happily.
In your curer heart than the almond’s flower,
I was bloomed, before everything.
The book lover
If someone’s heart is filled with the light of knowledge,
They will shine with it forever.
(Alisher Navoi)
In the early morning I was waiting for the bus to arrive. I should reach the city, namely, my lessons earlier. While I was watching the nature through the bus window, I heard a radio girl talking about Chingiz Aytmatov’s republished book “Running Olapar across the beach”. Yeah, this book has been familiar to me for a long time. And I had heard lots of positive comments about its meanings. So, I wanted to read the book myself. I intended to by the book; in case I had enough money. Finally, my lessons finished and I went to bookstore.
- Wow, so many books are over here! I do not know which one to pick!
While looking around, I found the book that I was looking for. You cannot imagine how happy was I at that exact time!!! But I became so upset when I saw the charge on the book’s cover. Fifty-five sums. I immediately started measuring all the money I had in my bag, and just two sums were not enough. Now, I have to spend my toll too.
I left the bookstore happily but at the same time I was a bit warried thinking about how will I reach my home now? If only I had two sums. I had no one in this big city to stay with. Hesitatingly, I took a bus. And I did not realize that I reached to my destination.
- Do you want me to stop here, darling?
- Huh? Did you say anything?
- You want me to stop the bus?
- Yeah, yeah please. I said slowly. But, I do not have money to give you. I mean, not and more. I spend all my money on book that I had been looking for…
But, next time a will exactly pay you!!!
- Hah, you little! You know what, every cost that is spent on education will one day justify itself. Go ahead, and do not forget to share your impressions about your book! “Sure” I said ecstatically.
After giving a “Mountain” of promises to the driver, I got back home. I will surely see him again tomorrow!
So, I stayed up during all night and finished the book…
