There were three tables in the gold of the mulberry trees. Four people were sitting behind one of the tables, eating and drinking in silence. He spread the word from their faces. On the table, you can see a kebab, two glasses of "Stolichni" vodka, four snacks and four packs of cigarettes.

The canines of one of the eaters were made of red metal. Oh, and the two people sitting at the next table were talking. These two people were talking to each other in Russian. They looked like people with numbers from their hearts.

Buzz:

– Don't talk to me again , – I don't drink.

– Don't drink, don't drink. But let the body be full – the boy muttered as he turned back to the body.

They continued to eat and drink without getting fat. It was about getting out of the air. It was a light breeze. The leaves of the mulberry tree rustled. The red flame was pulled from the sphere. Yanya was looking for a seat at the neighboring table. Yela bel ov pusurdu.

– Gyadesh, eyal khag-shesab elya – I passed from the next table, a satisfied voice was heard. The kebab chef went to the direction where the voice came from and said – Go home.

Nadirya, the kebab shop, took out money from the customer's wallet and sent him away. When Nadir took the money, he said, "May God be pleased with me, I will always be at your service."

The kababchi swallowed his two guests and brought them back to the grill.

Gyyldish lit a "Kazbek" and smothered it greedily. There was a flower and a cigarette. He wrote on papyrus with the pen of Ayaggabi.

– I ate – he said. He took refuge with his friends and walked away.

Two cheerful men were walking towards the "Fresh Market". They were in no hurry. They were walking slowly. This is how they went. The squealing boy came from behind like a slave. When they stopped, the boy stopped. In this way, they came and went as far as Basin Street. There, one of the two men, a tall, thin man, separated from his companion and walked through the middle arch of the ancient Gothic building towards the courtyard of the building . He turned around and lit a cigarette. Gizyldish fell like a sheep and beheaded him.

– Diane, her red teeth flashed.

– Who are you? What do you want?

– I'm writing. I want to wake up.

– Ahmaglama, the dog. Go out of your way.

– Do you care for the martyr's wife? An innocent boy.

– Do you want money? – the man's voice trembles.

The blade of the knife in the flame of the blush suddenly felt like a rush in the dark to the man's chest… The man fainted, but did not fall. The red-haired boy turned his back and turned his face away. Even once, he did not look at the duncb eeri…

The man was left behind. He didn't understand anything. Yavyalya did not feel any pain. Then his legs began to loosen. He held his bat with his hand. Warm blood oozed from his fingers. He fainted and could not breathe. Their faces became confused. The man slowly fell to his knees. Var wanted to get up and scream. Galkha did not know. He fell down in the middle of the street in a pool of blood…

In one of the old districts of Baku, Nadir used to stay in the house of the khartut master in the tavern where he had created a group in the life of a man. Among the boys, Ogtay, who was very popular among the boys, seemed very happy to participate in such a meeting. Oh, they have opened a new end for such MPs, more precisely, they have earned the trust of the Red Boys. Gaining the trust of the red boys in this neighborhood was a very difficult task, not everyone could achieve this goal. There were unwritten laws of Kyushnya neighborhood. The whole neighborhood lived by unwritten laws.

There were not a few people who were imprisoned for the crimes they committed in this neighborhood. The people of the neighborhood were more afraid of the harsh and ruthless neighborhood laws than the state laws. They found ways to evade the laws imposed by the state. At least they have to find a deal with Elsevar, who is the local representative, who swallows everything that is free, who washes his face too much for one meal…

But even this neighborhood had little to live for. New high-rise buildings are increasing day by day in the city, people are already growing around the coal market and the cubinka.

In this neighborhood, it is not just the people who sleep, but the business people, the people who hold positions, who are interested, respect and honor.

Kebab chef Nadir has been ready to serve everyone who comes to his kebab house since childhood. The most respected people of the city used to come to Nadir's tavern. In fact, this kebab house, which was not very big, consisted of tables under three maple trees in the summer, and a large table in the window of the house in the winter, there was one thing that distinguished it from other living facilities of the city. It was also a kebab made by the chef Nadir. Nowhere in Baku did they serve such a large number of kebabs. The problem was that Nadir used to prepare ilza kebab with a special recipe. The main feature was that hot ilza kebabs melted in the mouth like cold ice cream. No matter how hard all the most famous kebab makers of Baku tried, the kebab maker found the secret of Nadir's ilza kebab. they didn't know…

The sight of Ogtai, who had just begun to sweat the ground, was foggy. She did not understand how to talk to men. Suddenly he woke up from a deep sleep and saw that one of his companions had an empty seat at the table. Arif did not know when they left the assembly. Now it's hard to see his place empty.

– Is Arif angry? – said .

– Enough…

– Where did you eat, what did you eat? Aren't we human?

– Don't give a damn, it's concussed.

– What, what?

– Alya, contused, injured on January 20. A little o word.

– Can I dance? Ten years later, I was still a child.

– You are still a child.

He wanted to argue with Dalygan, he wanted to make the person he called go away back his word. Sitting on the right side, a handsome, athletic boy slowly stomped on her leg. Yani, cut your heart. Dyaliganly did not pretend to cut his tongue. He has seen a lot of work. The careless rain started to cry and the unpleasant conversation was forgotten.

"It's time to eat, children," said Gyadesh.

It's going to rain…

* * *

Arif caught the rain in Martyrs' Cave. Arif was hiring. He was always thinking. The image engraved on the black marble was staring at Arif. Above the tombstone was written:

Yalyakbar Yazizov

12.08.1964 – 20.01.1990

It's raining so quickly that you go out to the bathroom. And Arif, the contaminant Arif, took out the water from the rain at the head of the martyr Yalakbar's grave…

***

… The blood of the stabbed man who fell down in the middle of the street mixed with the water and made a hole in the asphalt surface. Chokhdani did not live like this in Baku. The raindrops hit the roofs of the houses and the windows.

The day after the bloody day of January 20, 1990, such an ice-cloud rain fell on the city. Arif was afraid of the subway on January 20. He called that the road should not fall from these sides, he lived the worst part of his life in the dark January evening of 1990 in the square near the subway. He, like hundreds of others, appeared naked in front of the Russian tanks. We saw the bird hitting the wing, and their faces were satisfied. There, Arifin's face glowed a little red. He screamed like a madman, and then his voice died down for a while…

The stabbing, the blood-stained red faces of the Russian soldiers haunted Arif like a nightmare…

Kebab chef Nadir once a week, on Fridays, gave a lecture at Eyu Mosque. Vidana Rahat brought them to him, and this is his duty to be a Muslim. He didn't fast, he didn't pray, but he used to go to the mosque every Friday, and he would earn a hundred rewards in the world.

Once a month, he gave a "minister" to the office worker – this was his civic duty. So, he was considered one of the most exemplary people of the old neighborhood, he did not smoke cigarettes, did not drink alcohol, did not commit fornication, did not indulge in adultery, and gossiped like a wife. I don't know what you want. What kind of people are they?

Eyu received a blessing from the mosque and a "dobro" from the representative of the area. Children lived by themselves. It was one of the most famous kebab shops in the city – in the old neighborhood, both the old and the young kept his wife and were proud of him. Nadir did not miss the good and the bad of the neighborhood. He knew his place, himself, and his words in the world.

Kebab chef Nadir did not receive formal education, he came to evening school after the eighth grade. He had a special affection for the intellectual people, – everyone knew that. Scholars, poets, writers, artists used to come to his Khudmani kababhana. Among his regular customers were big people, even ministers.

Nadir earned a living by cooking and selling kebabs, he had a wife and children. When his son Zakir was born, he had no wings to fly, if he had wings, he would fly. The city of Uchub was hit by a cold period. The day the child began to speak, he promised himself that this child would not become a kebab maker like his father, he would study well and get a higher education – he would wear a black suit, a loose shirt, and a sleeveless tie.

He fulfilled his promise, he kept his word like a man . The boy Insafyan came out with his own skill. Kebab chef Nadir educated his son at the University of Economics.

When he had time, he used to visit the University of Economics. When the students left the class, he would secretly follow the boy, and this handsome, tall boy would follow them to the cafe with his friends. Then tyalam-tyalasik evya duncrdc – today yan hoshbyakht people them.

On such happy days, Nadir, the kebab maker, remembered his childhood and teenage years. His childhood years were spent in the war years, in times of war and murder. The father is in the war, the mother is in the rear… Five children… Nadir grew up with one stomach and one stomach.

"May God bless his shields !" My children have become orphans", – the mother cried, kneeling on her knees. When his mother died, Nadir complained about his poverty. He couldn't do anything, he wanted to join his mother and brothers. But she gritted her teeth and shouted. Oh, the house is full. No one can…

Nadir was born in the old neighborhood. He spent his childhood and youth in this neighborhood and grew up in this neighborhood. In this neighborhood, the weight of a man's word was very heavy…

Nadir, the kebab maker, did not eat, drink, or eat as usual, he sweated at the top of the barbecue, his son Zakir asked. Zakir was Zakir too – he was not a child of this neighborhood, he did not mix with anyone. He came to the university, sat in the library for hours, and sometimes he went to the movie with his fellow students. After the exams, they would "have fun" in "Sarin" or "Nareiz" cafe.

Evdia Zakirin got his energy, he put a small table in front of the window, there were always books on the table. A picture of a bell hung on the wall next to the picture of his grandfather in battle. He listened to religious music on the "Vesna" tape recorder, and did not leave the house after nine o'clock in the evening.

This is how Zakir, the son of kebab maker Nadir, successfully graduated from the University of Economics. He worked at the Baku slaughterhouse. Isha Dzyaldi said that they sent him to this factory by appointment. He started working in the factory's office, and after a year and a half, he got a two-room apartment in the ninth microdistrict as a specialist. They put a bed and a table in the new apartment, and Zakir took his books and clothes. But he did not forget the image of his grandfather in the war, he took it with him. Eitara gave the portrait of the poor man to his neighbor's son.

Zakir was a wise man, and he was moving fast in his career. Now the kebab maker Nadir had a friend, and he was going to see a wedding. Zakir, the accountant, got married and started a family at the time he expected, everything was measured, and the water was flowing.

Again, he used to go to the Eyu mosque every day, and did not miss his prayers. This is how Nadir's heart beats with his fist. On market days, the son used to come to the old neighborhood with his income, and when the son created a new "Zhiguli" he would sneak in, but he wouldn't put himself there…

And then there are the descriptions of this market day He was often retrenched, his son was doing most of his work.

One market day, the mother decided to get on the bus and travel to the microdistrict of her hometown.

Arvad went to the elevator seven times. He and his son met in the apartment on the seventh floor of this building and came to take care of the apartment. For the first time, his wife jumped from the balcony of this apartment to the city. It was as if the city was covered with gold. Shashyarin was not visible. Oh, he couldn't imagine that the city where he ate the food he drank and drank the water was in this river. The tenth city consisted of a small neighborhood, Eyu Mosque, "Zabitlyar Bay", Tyazya Bazar, Beshmyartyabyad, and a boulevard across the sea from Ichyari city.

The city that existed outside these areas was more than ten called Baku, a foreign, foreign city had an influence.

Now that he got out of the elevator, it was like reliving the feelings of visiting this building for the first time. He did not press the point of his words, and he made a noise, so he went up to the seventh floor not by elevator, but by stairs. After taking a nap, he stopped himself and went to sleep. A strange sound was heard from inside. Durub looked up, but could not speak. One day he pressed the button of the door, then there was a noise from inside, he waited for him to open his mouth, but he could not. Arvad was surprised. The story was not opened. It's the end of the world warmed up…

The next day evening, he dialed his son's home phone number. Eyalini Fira, i.e. Fyarydya dyastyayi took. Arvad asked Eyaly, "Why didn't you come to us on market day?" We miss you a lot.

Fira:

– By the way, I have to walk around the house all day. Zakir also slept and prayed all day. A lot of work is done in summer. Well, why don't you come to us for a market.

Arva's field numbered. He heard Fira talking on the phone again. In his ear, the sound of his voice sounded like the sound of his ear…
