Dilnoza had been warned about her first night shift. “The first one is always the longest,” the senior nurse, Gulbahor, had told her with a tired smile. “Drink plenty of tea, and never say the word ’quiet’ out loud. If you do, the whole hospital will hear you and decide to prove you wrong.” Dilnoza had laughed politely, assuming it was a joke. By two o’clock in the morning, she was no longer so sure.
Dilnozani birinchi tungi smenasi haqida ogohlantirishgan edi. “Birinchisi har doim eng uzuni bo‘ladi”, — degan edi katta hamshira Gulbahor charchoq tabassum bilan. — “Ko‘p choy iching va hech qachon ’tinch’ so‘zini baland ovozda aytmang. Aytsangiz, butun kasalxona eshitadi va sizni noto‘g‘ri ekaningizni isbotlashga qaror qiladi.” Dilnoza buni hazil deb o‘ylab, xushmuomalalik bilan kulgan edi. Tungi soat ikkiga kelib, u bunga unchalik ishonch hosil qilolmay qoldi.
The evening had begun calmly enough. She had checked the patients on the ward, handed out medicine and helped an elderly man called Rustam aka back into bed after he had tried to go home in his pyjamas. “My wife is waiting for me,” he kept saying. Dilnoza did not have the heart to tell him that, according to his notes, his wife had died six years earlier. Instead she sat with him for twenty minutes and asked him how they had met, until his eyes finally closed.
Kechqurun ancha osoyishta boshlangan edi. U palatadagi bemorlarni tekshirib chiqqan, dori tarqatgan va pijamada uyga ketmoqchi bo‘lgan Rustam aka ismli keksa kishini qayta to‘shagiga yotqizishga yordam bergan edi. “Xotinim meni kutyapti”, — deb takrorlardi u. Dilnoza unga qaydnomasiga ko‘ra xotini olti yil oldin vafot etganini aytishga yuragi betlamadi. Buning o‘rniga u yigirma daqiqa yonida o‘tirib, ular qanday tanishganini so‘radi va nihoyat uning ko‘zlari yumildi.
Then, just after midnight, everything seemed to happen at once. A young woman was brought up from the emergency department with severe stomach pain. A patient’s heart monitor began to beep loudly, and although it turned out to be a loose wire, Dilnoza’s own heart was racing. Somewhere at the end of the corridor, someone was calling for a nurse, and the phone at the desk would not stop ringing.
Keyin, yarim tundan sal o‘tib, hamma narsa bir vaqtda sodir bo‘layotgandek tuyuldi. Tez yordam bo‘limidan qattiq qorin og‘rig‘i bilan yosh ayolni olib chiqishdi. Bir bemorning yurak monitori baland ovozda signal bera boshladi va bu bo‘shab qolgan sim bo‘lib chiqqan bo‘lsa ham, Dilnozaning o‘z yuragi gurs-gurs urardi. Yo‘lakning oxirida kimdir hamshirani chaqirardi, stoldagi telefon esa jiringlashdan to‘xtamasdi.
For a moment Dilnoza stood in the middle of the corridor, unable to decide what to do first. All the theory she had learned at college seemed to disappear from her mind. Then she heard Gulbahor’s calm voice behind her. “One thing at a time,” the older nurse said. “The monitor first, then the new patient. I’ll answer the phone.” Her voice was so steady that Dilnoza felt her panic begin to fade.
Bir lahza Dilnoza yo‘lak o‘rtasida nimadan boshlashni bilmay turib qoldi. Kollejda o‘rgangan barcha nazariya xayolidan ko‘tarilib ketgandek edi. Keyin orqasidan Gulbahorning xotirjam ovozini eshitdi. “Bir vaqtda bitta ish”, — dedi keksaroq hamshira. — “Avval monitor, keyin yangi bemor. Telefonga men javob beraman.” Uning ovozi shunchalik bosiq ediki, Dilnoza vahimasi so‘na boshlaganini his qildi.
The rest of the night passed in a blur of tasks. The young woman’s pain turned out to be appendicitis, and she was taken for an operation at four o’clock. Dilnoza filled in forms, changed sheets and answered questions from worried relatives on the phone. At one point she realised she had not sat down for five hours, and her tea had gone completely cold.
Tunning qolgan qismi vazifalar girdobida o‘tdi. Yosh ayolning og‘rig‘i appenditsit bo‘lib chiqdi va uni soat to‘rtda operatsiyaga olib ketishdi. Dilnoza shakllarni to‘ldirdi, choyshablarni almashtirdi va telefonda xavotirdagi qarindoshlarning savollariga javob berdi. Bir payt u besh soatdan beri o‘tirmaganini, choyi esa butunlay sovib qolganini angladi.
As the sky outside began to turn grey, Rustam aka woke up and called her over. He looked at her for a long moment, clearly confused about where he was. Then he smiled. “You are the girl who listened to my story,” he said. “Thank you. Nobody listens to old men any more.” Dilnoza felt tears in her eyes, and she was surprised by how much those few words meant to her after such an exhausting night.
Tashqarida osmon kulranglasha boshlaganida, Rustam aka uyg‘onib, uni chaqirdi. U qayerdaligini anglay olmay, unga uzoq tikilib turdi. Keyin jilmaydi. “Sen mening hikoyamni tinglagan qizsan”, — dedi u. — “Rahmat. Endi hech kim cholarni tinglamaydi.” Dilnoza ko‘zlariga yosh kelganini sezdi va shunday charchatuvchi tundan keyin bu bir necha so‘z uning uchun qanchalik qadrli ekanidan hayron qoldi.
At seven o’clock the day staff arrived. Gulbahor patted her on the shoulder as they walked out into the cold morning air. “Well?” she asked. “Will you come back tonight?” Dilnoza thought about the noise, the panic and the cold tea, and then about Rustam aka’s smile. “Yes,” she said. “But I’ll bring a flask.”
Soat yettida kunduzgi xodimlar keldi. Ular sovuq tong havosiga chiqishayotganda Gulbahor uning yelkasiga qoqib qo‘ydi. “Xo‘sh?” — so‘radi u. — “Bugun kechqurun qaytib kelasanmi?” Dilnoza shovqinni, vahimani va sovigan choyni, keyin esa Rustam akaning tabassumini o‘yladi. “Ha”, — dedi u. — “Lekin termos olib kelaman.”
