Gulchohra's weeping

| ASKAR: |
Let her come!
I don’t mind. Gulchohra, please, call my aunt. |
| Gulchohra leaves |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Let her ñîme. I’ll marry
her! She is à widow and I’m
à widower. And the doctor advised
me to have à wife. I think
if the doctor had seen the aunt, he would have advised her
also to have à husband. |
| ASKAR: |
I don’t mind. All right, you marry, too. Let’s be double
- relatives. Now do you understand what does à double-relative
mean? |
| SULTAN BAY: |
(laughs)
Yes, I understand, you, trickster! |
| Gulchohra
and Jahan enter |
| SULTAN BAY: |
(to Jahan) Hallo, come on! Come nearer! You see
what à trickster your nephew is! There now, what do you think?
It depends on one mullah, 3 manats money and à loaf of sugar. What’s your opinion? I say, let Askar's,
Gulchohra's and our wedding be together. |
| JAHAN: |
I don’t mind. Let God give his blessing! |
| ALL: |
Amen! Amen! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Balam, those children are alone at home. They will be
worried. Send your servant to take Asya and Telli here. |
| ASKAR: |
Just à moment, I’ll go and send him. |
| Íå
goes out |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Oh by God, I’m
so glad, I feel young again... (Then he changes his speech)
of course, I’m not so old; I am like à young man. Mashallah.* |
| Askar
comes |
| ASKAR: |
I sent him. |
