Shәmshi ekeumiz aghaly-inili boldyq. Mening anam – on ýsh bala tughan jan. Sol on ýsh baladan men ghana tiri qalghanmyn. Biraq anamnan “Qansha balanyz bar?” dep súraghanda, ol ýnemi: “Ýsh balam bar. Ýlkeni – Shәmshi Qaldayaqov, ortanshysy – Tólegen Aybergenov, kishisi – Múhtar Shahanov”, – deytin edi. Shәmshi de, Tólegen de dýniyeden ótkenshe shesheme erekshe qúrmetpen qarap ketti.

Menen Shәmshi on eki jas, Tólegen Aybergenov bes jas ýlken edi. Soghan qaramastan, aramyzda dostyq serti bar. Búl úsynysty (aytqanda) Tólegen: «Ómirding soqtyqpaly, soqpaqty búralang joldarynda, bir-birimizge shetsiz, sheksiz adal boluymyz ýshin ylghy da bir-birimizding shynshyl isterimizdi qoldap, syrtqy pende kózderden qorghap, quattap jýruimiz ýshin, keudemizge keudemizdi týiistirip, ong qoldarymyzdy birining ýstine birin mingestire, bir júdyryqqa ainaldyryp, serttesuimiz kerek!» – dedi. Shәmshi de, men de Tókenning úsynysyn quana qoldadyq. Kóilegimizdi sheship, ózara keude toghystyrdyq. Adal bolatynymyzdy aityp serttestik. Anam kózine jas ala otyryp, alma-kezek betimizden sýidi. Sorymyzgha qaray, Tólegen otyz jasynda tirshilikpen qoshtasty.

Keyin Shәmshi ekeumizding aramyzda salqyndyq tudyrghan oqigha boldy.

Shәkenning qatty iship jýrgen shaghy edi. Tólegen ómirden ótken son, onyng әieli Ýrnisagha ýilenip aldy. Óz basym (múny) qabylday almadym. Almatygha (Shәmshige) telefon soghyp: «Bayaghyda bir-birimizge adal bolamyz dep serttesken edik. Ony búzghanyng nesi? Basqa әiel qúryp qaldy ma? Erteng ólsem, mening әielime ýilenip alasyng ba?» – dep qatty renjidim. Arada eki-ýsh ay ótkende, tanalageuimde Shymkenttegi ýiimning qonyrauy shyldyrady. Ashsam, Shәmshi men Ýrnisa. Qoldarynda ýlken qolsandyghy bar. Shәkeng meni qúshaqtap sýngge úmtyla berip edi, qolymdy kóldeneng túttym. «Ara qatynasymyzgha nýkte qoyyldy. Sau bolynyzdar!» dep esikti tars jauyp, ýige kirgizbedim. Ekeuining júbaylyq ómiri ýsh jylgha ghana sozyldy. Keyin Shәmshi arnayy kelip, «Tólegenning balalaryna qol úshyn beru ýshin Ýrnisagha ýilendim» degenim syltau eken. Olargha qarasyp túra almadym. Tólegenning aruaghynan da keshirim súraymyn» dep keshirim súrady. Kónilde «әttegen-ay» bolghanymen, aralastyghymyz qayta bastaldy. Odan keyin de birlesip jazylghan talay әn dýniyege keldi.
