Selfie with the Rед. Adam Noah Li
Ismikhan. Or Ismikhan would mention the name of the famous sites and threaten them about informing.
The yard of Ismikhan is seen from the yard of Jem very clearly. He stood straightly and addressed to Jem.
‘ Ey, my dear, haven’t heard the news?’
Jem pretended as if he didn’t hear his words, he kept looking at his dove.
‘ They say that there appeared a hunting setter in the quarter of Millionaires. And that setter stoles the hens of the neighbors. Free these doves, or that setter will get into habit to our quarter too.’
Jem got furious, turned to me.
‘ You see , what that foolish man is saying, He says he is struggling for the freedom of the animals. But if he drinks a glass of vodka he might sell all the animals of the world.’
It is obvious that Ismikhan was drunk, it was felt through his voice.
Ismikhan’s dog Chappa was barking facing to upwards.
Jem took some dove eggs from the wooden box of the doves and put them into a synthetic bag, then tied it with a rope and lowered it into Ismikhan’s yard.
‘ If I don’t give anything to him, he will complain till the end of the day, will disturb me till night.’
I also looked down the yard. Ismikhan wasn’t in the yard. He had taken the eggs and entered his room.
Seeing that Ismikhan had gone , Jem began to sing his rap.
My speckled dove has speckles
It might do whatever he wishes.
As soon as Jem finished his rap I asked him.
‘ Don’t you know why Ismikhan live alone?’
‘ Ismikhan had a gentle, calm wife. All day long Ismikhan gathered his reveller friends and drunk in the yard. Khanik was among them. I mean Khanoghlan. He lived in ten houses’ distance. One day Ismikhan slandered Khanik saying that he hinted at his wife. Khanik couldn’t bear his slander and beat Ismikhan cruelly. Then they arrested Khanik, and Ismikhan was taken to the hospital. Since that time his wife left him . And after being released from the hospital Ismikhan began to keep a dog. Even he couldn’t keep his wife near him. Because of being hard drinker he loses his friends one by one. I feel pity for Chappa, because Ismikhan made that poor animal be as double-faced as himself.’
I glanced at my watch, I didn’t have to be late for training. I said good -bye to Jem. I climbed down the iron stairs and reached the street and went to training.
When I reached the bus station I saw a motorcycle when it braked. From the outwear and helmet he wore I could see he was Aydin who lived in the back street. He looked at me and asked without taking his helmet.
‘Are you the boy who sits at the same desk with Senubar?’
‘Why do you ask?’
‘Well, you are still a child, you don’t know what love is. You must help me.’
‘ How can I help you?’ I asked him.
Motorcycle Aydin took an envelope out of his pocket and reached me the envelope.
’My dear, this letter must be delivered to Senuber, but I warn you not to open it.’
Then Aydin took much money out of his other pocket, handed me ten manats.
‘ Please, take it, let be yours.’
I pushed his hand aside.
‘ I don’t need your money, keep it for yourself.’
When Aydin reached the letter to me, I told him.
‘ Well, I am not a postman for you.’
Then I turned my face and walked away.
Though I didn’t like Aydin as a person, I liked his motorcycle. As I left him, he came after me, pulled out the motorcycle near me.
‘ It appears you don’ t want to help me, doesn’t it?’
‘I can help you, but on one condition,’ I said to him.
‘ On what condition?’ he asked me.
‘ I want you to borrow me your motorcycle for at least one day.’
‘ You are still a child, you don’t have any permission to drive motorcycle,’ he said.
‘ If I am a child, in this case, Senuber is a child too.’
‘ It isn’t your business.’
‘ Be off! Let me go!’
Aydin got furious, wanted to stop his motorcycle.
‘ What did you tell? Come here, child!’
His motorcycle got over other side. Aydin ran towards to me, clenched his fist for to attack me. But I didn’t let him to fist me, I struck him on his chest and feet, he couldn’t keep balance and fell on the ground.
I took his helmet and flung it out.
After some minutes Aydin looked at me attentively .
‘ You were killing me,’ he said.
‘ But you were saying I am a child.’
***
The bus was seen in the bus stop. Seeing that Aydin wasn’t badly damaged, I ran towards the bus stop.
The bus was rushing towards the city. Though I was watching the street that the bus rushed through, I was still thinking about Aydin. Look, he is so fraud that he tries to get my love out of me with my own hands. Then I comforted myself saying that all the people in the city know him only for his motorcycle. To tell the truth, I like his motorcycle , but I would never wish everybody call me as Motorcycle Vasif. Even I don’t wish they call me as ‘ Mercedes’ Vasif, or ‘Jeep’ Vasif. I want all the people call me as Vasif. Or I want the others call me world champion , Olympic champion Vasif. Well, it would be wonderful. I remembered how Aydin fell on the ground after my attack. I never raised a hand to anybody. But he made me so furious that I couldn’t keep myself. As if it wasn’t enough he tried to get my lover from me, he also wanted to beat me. I wonder if Senuber saw how I hit Aydin, what she would think about me. If only she saw how I attacked him I think she would never love him anymore.
When I entered changing room in the Olympic compound my friends Aykhan and Nuru were changing their clothes. Aykhan is my main opponent. Probably both of us would be in final stage in Baku championship. But as usual Aykhan was watching his muscles in the large mirror in the changing –room.
Our coach Fateh came in the changing-room and greeted us.
‘ Hey, guys, don’t hurry to change your clothes. Because of technical problems they again didn’t warm the water. I don’t want you to catch could before competition and fall ill. If you fall ill, all our training would be in vain.’
