Ashura
Ashura was our playground. My father used to say that Ashura would go to every hole and thorn like a madman, after the water rose due to rain, the tunnels would be emptied in Chale Ismail Bey. The tunnels were related to the aqueduct, which was the place where spring water passed Its source was in Rihan and its tributaries passed through the city. Its water was the dowry of Hazrat FatimaAnd the lands around these tunnels, which were considered part of the Qanat's sanctuary, were the only places where the Khans could not force the poor people, and they had made a shelter for their families with stones, dirt, mud, and sticks. When the flood subsided, Ashura became kind and forgiving like beforeAsghar Gorki would sit on the pit and play the tambourine next to the damp walls. Wazir Aftab would make the children dance by singingOne day, we found a bottle with a picture of a beautiful woman on it. Whenever my father looked at it, he would sneak a look at Grandma and slowly, so that Grandma wouldn't hear, he would say what good things there are in the world, and then he would smell the bottle and say Pif, curse your actions and throw the bottle away. .The glass inside the sand sometimes cut our hands and feet. We went to Ismail Bey's treasured bath and sprinkled the ashes of the bath on our wounds. Every day Morteza Ali's bread was baked in the house of Begum 3 and distributed to the number of people at the door of Ashura's houseWe used to go slowly, steal bread from the house and leave the waist of our pants so that Grandma would not surprise us. When we came out of the room, we did not move our hands freely so that the bread would not fall. And he would sit in the corner of the room and hug his kneesHe shook himself to the left and right, chanting and saying that I went to the grave of the one who married me, he grabbed her breasts and shouted to the sky that my milk will not be halal for you until the Day of Judgment. He used to say that he wished he could not eat bread so that his grandmother would be happyNene, who saw us oppressed and oppressed by the corner of the wall, her heart was burning, she cried and said, "My child, why are you bothering me, how should I answer that dog father at night.Our father's dog was our father's dog, we used to cry with Nene, whenever a child of Ashura's women died, Nene was nice to us for a few days, she would kiss and hug us, sir, our alms would go, but with the first bite of bread that we took from the pot, her curses and moans began. Ashura would have accommodated us in his arms with all his misfortunesWe used to help each other to build a shelter for the new arrivals. We would sit around Gorki and listen to his songs. At night, with dust on our heads and hands, we would crawl blindly to the house, whistling to our grandmother who was squatting on top of the burning round lamp. We were saying helloWhen he saw our hands, with a kind but angry look, he said, "We are miserable, we have to give whatever money we have, and Vaseline for your hands." How long ago did the water of the river rise, and its effect is goneHe was pointing at the wall!The water rose, Ashura was filled and the hole was filled, the water was rising like a fountain, filling the yard and sending flowers into the room, but it didn't have the language to say hello. His white feet were trembling in the water and he was sending salutationsHe used to say that now the water of the world is taking away the storm of Noha Nene, that we are miserable and the house is ruined, O God, we are sinful dogs, come to your door! Bring mercy to my children, he would raise his head to the sky and say, "Hop, hop, oh God, I am a black dog at your door.O God, I am a kitten at your door, Nene hates him and said that you children have ruined the world before the end of time. Do you want God not to do worse than this? To God, if fire comes from the sky, it will be enoughI knew that water does not wash away the world, water only washes mud houses. I myself had gone to Ismail Bey's neighborhood through Ashura. Ismail Bey's pit was collected so that water does not damage those housesThe corridors within them remain intact.When there was a flood, we would gather the wood in the middle of the room and light the fire, we would close the door until the room was dry, then we would go to our neighbors and we would throw whatever we had on each other and eat together. My father would sit in front of their father and they would talk about unemployment. between the ashes of the barbecueHe would throw it and cover it with ash water, Nene growled softly, you will be crushed, you filled the people's brazier with ashes and spit, and with the neighbor's wife, they were weaving carpets. Fall asleep in the morning
