******سوال آخر

از بس تند دویده بودم نفسم به شماره افتاده بود و قلبم داشت از دهانم بیرون می زد که رسیدم . با گرفتن ورقه، خودم را در اولین صندلی خالی جا دادم و با نوشتن اسمم روی پاسخنامه که پای صندلی گذاشته بودند شروع کردم به جواب دادن چهار گزینه ای ها تا رسیدم به سوال آخر که حدود یک صفحه می شد و شروع کردم به خواندن:

Creation story

When he closed his eyes and lied on the seat in the backyard of hospital , he dreamed of his country – a town near the waste of Iran
He lived there with his family in a small house with a small garden that there was a fountain in the middle of it , there was a seat in their garden too , at that time he used to try to lie his legs as long as the seat but he never could

Every thing mixed in his mind , his parents faces , garden , his brothers and his sisters , house , fountain , children , child , child every thing so complicated

He opened his eyes , it was true . He has just been a father , he couldn’t believe it , but it was true , he was a father
His wife and his son slept in a bed in the hospital in a foreign country , “Germany” , his wife’s homeland , a beautiful woman with eyes in the color of soil
He was an emigrant but when they got married , he became a citizen

He reclosed his eyes and remembered his school , he was standing there to read his composition , he have hadn’t written any thing for his writing exam
He must have written a story about “creation” but he read the text , word by word from his mind , he got “11” , but now , he wish : If my teacher was present , I would write every thing about “creation story” for him

When he came to the hospital , a nurse directed him to the operation room . he was shocked . he thought “why me”? . In his country and in his family , he had never seen any thing like this
The nurse told him : “please go to the left , there is a glass wall that you can see your wife and the birth of your baby through , if you like ” , of course

بعد از نوشتن ترجمه بر روی برگه، بلند شدم و ضمن تحویل دادن پاسخ نامه به همراه ورقه ی سوال که داخل کاور پلاستیکی جایش داده بودند، از جلوی مراقب جلسه از کلاس زدم بیرون.
