Bloody tears of heart

Two MIG-15

Jet flew low in the sky with a rumbling sound, the sound of gunfire and bomb

explosions could be heard in different directions of the city.

However,

surprisingly, it is not known where the sound of gunshots is coming from, so

when people leave their homes, they do not crouch down to avoid being hit by

flying bullets, so they spend time without leaving their homes. Therefore, if you are a stranger to the city,

if you see the state of the city, you will be told to take my leg out, but if

you intend to return to the cottage, it is clear that it will not be for your health.

Jijiga the Eastern Ethiopia has been shaken by this kind of interest.

Although the

residents closed their homes and sat down to let the creator show them the

future, their children sneaked out of their houses as if they were not afraid

of death and collected the different colors of military tools that were

scattered in the city and threw the dust inside the fire and shook the area

with gun fire noise.

If they had known that this caused a scandal for them, but

for their parents, they would have refrained from their actions. However, their childhood, which was the era

of fun and prosperity, made them worry about the city, their parents and

residents, and they did not refrain from their activities.

At Esther's father's went

to the "Funda Sefer" which is local kiosks called Funda Village 05

kebbele, the audience of the house stood up and received him respectfully when

he had just enter in to Mrs. Ethlemahu's kiosk for a drink. he were looking for a place to sit, his

close friend, Captain Negash, who was eagerly waiting for him to come also,

couldn't help the infantry soldier who was beside him to put his friend down.

He raised Desi and put Esther's father beside him and said, "Captain, sit here

“.

To entertain their guests, Mrs. Ehtlemahu, the owner of the kiosk,

busy serving the audience, approached the chamberlain, whom she respected very

much, with respect. "Captain , how

do you do!?" said without waiting for his answer again

"What do you

want?" she ask

"And today, what do you think you are coming as a

guest!?" The Captain answered with a surprised language expression.

Still, without

waiting for her apology response, he said, "Shut up and bring the usual"

"How are you,

Captain?" What's new?" The Captain started waiting for answers to his

two questions.

Captain Negash put

the measure of Habesha liquor that was offered to him, and if he didn't like

it, he raised the glass of the noble guard to drink.

"You'll be

surprised! I thought she was your daughter. She sent a telegram."

"Did you say

Esther?" he asked, eagerly for an answer, and turned his head to his

friend

"Yes, she told

me, Esther" they continued

"She sent a telegram radio from Debremarkos with her

uncle. Since she is coming, her uncle begged me to tell you to welcome

her." Captain Negash said as if his

burden was lightened. "Did you call

me Esther?" he asked to confirm while sipping their Tella(cultural made

beer)

"Yes," he confirmed.

They were silent for

a few minutes and said, "actually If she never come to DebreMarkos to get

a telegram, she won't get it anywhere."

"What are you

going to do?" he continued

"Is she alone or

her mother also with her?" he asked

and waiting for captains replay

"No, she is

alone” in a speech that makes you unsure

The Captain asked,

"But Captain, how is she going to come? It's not red and it's not

peace?"

"According to

what her uncle told me, she ran away from her brother and came to him. They

told me to send a message to you and saying that he has taken her to her father

before she gets into trouble."

Her uncle said that

he did not believe what he heard.

"Captain, is

there a problem? It would be good if she lived with her brother, isn't it? Or

did you want her to get married before her age? Oh, go away, my friend, it's

not nice to hear such a thing!"

"What captain!? What is wrong with our culture? Isn't

it our culture? ". He knows that they will not be released if they start

arguing with a friend." It's always going to get into a trance. But I

think it would be better for you to leave the whole thing and listen to your

child. I would like to go to the camp. "I'll be in a little while, my

friend," they said without responding to the advice. After their friend

Negash reprimanded them, they did not want to talk too much. He was shaken and

scattered on the floor. When Esther's arrival was disturbed, he was disturbed,

and when she saw Esther as much as he felt about his wife's betrayal, become

in tears, when he thought of what would happen; "Repeat me or put the

bottle here and I will drink it over and over again," he said.

"Captain... you will never like it if you don't turn

around," said, grabbing another bottle and starting to drink

"It's like that,

but if you drink, you will be a man.isn't it, my sister?"talking with the kiosk lady

One day when they

were drinking with the Captain, He lost his ability because he were too

drunk, so they were swept away by the whirlwind of the

the town. he did not enter his home.

It is spinning like a wheal in the area. According to some

residents of rummers thought, people sometimes get lost when they they go in the evening time, and then

they are said to be lost in the whirlwind.

On the day they heard

that Esther was coming, her father drank so much that he were wandering around

the city in a drunken spirit. It was not known where he went and what they hid.

he disappeared for two days without being found. The battalion commander of the

12th Brigade, together with Captain Negash, went out with a foot search team

and an oral search. They searched the country for the missing Captain for two

days. Overrun by soldiers.

In 1977, in the

campaign against the government of Somalia Ziad Bare, not only the Cubans,

Russians, Yemenis and but also the veterans from

teachers to civil servants, according to the decree of a difficult situation,

especially the soldiers wearing jeans and kakis, then the campaign was won, but

still ten years after the end of the war, the city was impressed by military Noise.

Buried explosives in

every area and colors thrown everywhere, tanks and gunshots heard everywhere

made it look like an urban camp inhabited only by soldiers.

When Esther arrived

at the bus station in the city, she did not bother to find her father. As soon as she got off the bus, she found one

of them in the bus and asked about her father. By chance, they knew her

father. . .They meet her father's close friend Captain

Negash.

However, when she arrived at the said place, she was

confused because she did not find her father, even though Esther asked the

chamberlain where her father had gone, she could not find them now and pleaded

with her to stay at her father's house for the time being.

The Capain led her

from the front road, when they reached Monte village, they turned aside and

after traveling a little around Ellu Ella, they entered a courtyard, approached

one of the three service houses and knocked.

A boy appeared and opened it for them.

"Mommy” said the

boy

” Mamush?" the

Captain said before he finished

"Come in “one lady

offer them to enter

When they heard a

woman's voice, they entered and sat down with the lady of the house.

he said,

"Esther, don't worry, her name is Mrs. Sun. She is your step mother, and

he is your brother. Come closer, don't be afraid to kiss him."

"Mamush, are you

ashamed of not greeting your sister properly?" said that their daughter's flirtation

surprised them

After playing with

Mrs. Sun for a while, the captain have to go to his camp, so he turned to

Esther and told her that her father was out of town for work.

July 3, 1979 It will

be 12:00 o'clock in the morning, the captain's wife is shocked at the door and

notices the presence of people there through the hole, and panics and goes to

Esther and wakes them up. When the door

starts knocking, they open it and let them in.

According to what

they said, the soldiers engaged in searching for the body went out in search

and will inform them of the results. After two days of searching, at about 9:00

a.m., the dead body of captain Belay, who was being searched for, was found

mauled by wild beasts.

Marshal Negash and

other soldiers who came to help them go inside and her father were killed by the

infiltrating Somali soldiers who are dead and their bodies have never been

found.

According to June and

Monday, Esther could not accept her father's death, but her 14-year-old age and

the life she had led her to cope with the grief. Although she knows about death in her

childhood,but does not have a deeper knowledge.
