All what I could do was to read books in the wings of my wishes.
In order to join my lovely Senuber I had to study my lessons well, and when I was in the library I had to strangle my longing and jealousy inside of me.
My parents were glad seeing my interest for the books, but from other side it worried them. My father was anxious for my spending much time with the books, and obliged to register my name to the swimming school.
Though I went to swimming unwillingly afterwards I liked it and my love to swimming grew day by day. My muscles became strong and my appearance changed.
Recently I felt that the school girls looked at me with interest except Senuber.
If I became champion in swimming I would buy the most expensive ‘ Harley Davidson’ for me. If till that time the motorcycle driver Aydin didn’t get Senuber from my hands, I shall take her for a drive in all the streets of Baku.
I put my swimwear, rubber cap and a towel into my rucksack and clasped it. Soon there will be Baku championship of the teenagers of Baku city. That was why I had to train every day.
After coming down the stairs and reached the street I saw our neighbor Jafar who lived in some houses’ distance from us. He was in the roof of their house. As soon as he saw me he began to jump up and down, showed me the dove he was holding in his left palm, and with his right hand he beckoned me . Jafar is a bird-fancier, he keeps doves in the wooden box in the roof. Including he loves rap music. In the rap world he is known under the name of Jem. All the young boys and girls of Baku listen to his rap. As Jafar spends most of his time in the roof, alongside with his doves he could see all the sides of our quarter. And that is why he knows more things about the inhabitants of the quarter.
Through the roof Jafar told me that the door to the roof was open. I passed through the gate, went through their yard to the back yard, and then with the iron stairs I climbed up the roof.
‘Come on! You are welcome! Do you see this dove having a black forelock? My speckled dove defeated him. He isn’t my own cock, he enticed him and brought here. Ha-ha!’
Jem was so happy, as if he had wings to fly.
He began to go around and sing a rap.
My speckled dove is winged,
He is famous in the quarter.
