When Sam arrived at the station in Milan, he had only five minutes to catch his train to Venice. He ran to platform 7, jumped into the first carriage and sat down, breathing heavily.
Sem Milandagi vokzalga yetib kelganda, Venetsiyaga ketadigan poyezdiga ulgurish uchun atigi besh daqiqasi bor edi. U 7-platformaga yugurdi, birinchi vagonga sakrab chiqdi va og‘ir nafas olib o‘tirdi.
Twenty minutes later, a ticket inspector looked at his ticket and smiled. “Sir, this train is going to Genoa, not Venice.” Sam had taken the train from platform 8 by mistake.
Yigirma daqiqadan keyin chipta nazoratchisi uning chiptasiga qarab jilmaydi. “Janob, bu poyezd Venetsiyaga emas, Genuyaga ketyapti.” Sem adashib 8-platformadagi poyezdga chiqqan ekan.
He got off at the next small town to wait for a train back. It was a sunny afternoon, and the next train was in three hours, so he went for a walk. He found a tiny family restaurant with a view of the hills and had the best pasta of his life.
U orqaga qaytadigan poyezdni kutish uchun keyingi kichik shaharchada tushdi. Quyoshli tushdan keyin edi, keyingi poyezd uch soatdan keyin edi, shuning uchun sayrga chiqdi. U tepaliklar manzarasi bor kichkina oilaviy restoran topdi va hayotidagi eng mazali makaronni yedi.
Sam arrived in Venice late that night, tired but happy. Years later, when people ask about his favourite place in Italy, he doesn’t say Venice. He talks about a little town whose name he can’t even remember.
Sem o‘sha kechasi kech Venetsiyaga yetib keldi, charchagan, lekin baxtli. Yillar o‘tib, odamlar undan Italiyadagi eng yoqtirgan joyi haqida so‘rashsa, u Venetsiyani aytmaydi. U nomini ham eslay olmaydigan kichik shaharcha haqida gapiradi.
The restaurant was run by an elderly couple. They spoke no English, and Sam spoke only a few words of Italian, but they managed to communicate with gestures, smiles and a dictionary app. When Sam explained that he had taken the wrong train, the old man laughed loudly and brought him a glass of homemade lemonade for free.
Restoranni keksa er-xotin yuritardi. Ular inglizcha bilmasdi, Sem esa italyanchada bir necha so‘zgina bilardi, lekin ular imo-ishoralar, tabassumlar va lug‘at ilovasi yordamida muloqot qilishdi. Sem noto‘g‘ri poyezdga chiqqanini tushuntirganda, keksa kishi baland ovozda kulib, unga bepul bir stakan uy limonadi olib keldi.
Before he left, the old woman wrote down her recipe for the pasta sauce on a paper napkin. Sam still has the napkin, now in a frame in his kitchen. He has tried to cook the sauce many times, but he says it never tastes quite the same as it did on that sunny afternoon.
U ketishidan oldin keksa ayol makaron qaylasining retseptini qog‘oz salfetkaga yozib berdi. Sem bu salfetkani hamon saqlaydi, hozir u oshxonasida ramkada turibdi. U qaylani ko‘p marta pishirib ko‘rgan, lekin u o‘sha quyoshli tushdan keyingidagidek mazali chiqmasligini aytadi.
