Excerpt characterizing Arash
For thirty years Bogucharov was ruled by the elder Dron, who old prince called Dronushka.Dron was one of those physically and morally strong men who, as soon as they get old, grow a beard, and so, without changing, live up to sixty or seventy years, without one gray hair or lack of teeth, as straight and strong at sixty as at thirty.
Dron, soon after moving to the warm rivers, in which he participated, like others, was made head mayor in Bogucharovo and since then he has served in this position impeccably for twenty-three years. The men were more afraid of him than the master. The gentlemen, the old prince, the young prince, and the manager, respected him and jokingly called him minister. Throughout his service, Dron was never drunk or sick; never, not after sleepless nights, not after any kind of work, did not show the slightest fatigue and, not knowing how to read and write, never forgot a single account of money and pounds of flour for the huge carts that he sold, and not a single shock of grain for each tithe of Bogucharovo fields.
This Drona Alpatych, who came from the devastated Bald Mountains, called to him on the day of the prince’s funeral and ordered him to prepare twelve horses for the princess’s carriages and eighteen carts for the convoy, which was to be raised from Bogucharovo. Although the men were given quitrents, the execution of this order could not encounter difficulties, according to Alpatych, since in Bogucharovo there were two hundred and thirty taxes and the men were wealthy. But Headman Dron, having listened to the order, silently lowered his eyes. Alpatych named him the men whom he knew and from whom he ordered the carts to be taken.
Dron replied that these men had horses as carriers. Alpatych named other men, and those horses did not have, according to Dron, some were under government carts, others were powerless, and others had horses that died from lack of food. Horses, according to Dron, could not be collected not only for the convoy, but also for the carriages.
Alpatych looked carefully at Dron and frowned. Just as Dron was an exemplary peasant headman, it was not for nothing that Alpatych managed the prince’s estates for twenty years and was an exemplary manager. He is in highest degree He was able to understand by instinct the needs and instincts of the people with whom he dealt, and therefore he was an excellent manager. Looking at Drone, he immediately realized that Drone's answers were not an expression of Drone's thoughts, but an expression of general mood Bogucharov's world, which the headman had already captured. But at the same time, he knew that Dron, who had profited and was hated by the world, had to oscillate between two camps - the master's and the peasant's. He noticed this hesitation in his gaze, and therefore Alpatych, frowning, moved closer to Dron.
- You, Dronushka, listen! - he said. - Don't tell me nothing. His Excellency Prince Andrei Nikolaich themselves ordered me to send all the people and not stay with the enemy, and there is a royal order for this. And whoever remains is a traitor to the king. Do you hear?
“I’m listening,” Dron answered without raising his eyes.
Alpatych was not satisfied with this answer.
- Hey, Drone, this will be bad! - Alpatych said, shaking his head.
- The power is yours! - Dron said sadly.
- Hey, Drone, leave it! - Alpatych repeated, taking his hand out of his bosom and with a solemn gesture pointing it to the floor at Dron’s feet. “It’s not that I can see right through you, I can see right through everything three arshins below you,” he said, peering at the floor at Dron’s feet.
The drone became embarrassed, glanced briefly at Alpatych and lowered his eyes again.
“You leave the nonsense and tell the people to get ready to leave their houses for Moscow and prepare carts tomorrow morning for the princesses’ train, but don’t go to the meeting yourself.” Do you hear?
The drone suddenly fell at his feet.
- Yakov Alpatych, fire me! Take the keys from me, dismiss me for Christ's sake.
- Leave it! - Alpatych said sternly. “I can see three arshins right under you,” he repeated, knowing that his skill in following bees, his knowledge of when to sow oats, and the fact that for twenty years he knew how to please the old prince had long ago gained him the reputation of a sorcerer and that his ability to see three arshins under a person is attributed to sorcerers.
The drone stood up and wanted to say something, but Alpatych interrupted him:
- What did you think of this? Eh?.. What do you think? A?
– What should I do with the people? - said Dron. - It completely exploded. That's what I tell them...
“That’s what I’m saying,” said Alpatych. - Do they drink? – he asked briefly.
– Yakov Alpatych got all worked up: another barrel was brought.
- So listen. I’ll go to the police officer, and you tell the people, so that they give up this, and so that there are carts.
“I’m listening,” answered Dron.
Yakov Alpatych did not insist any more. He had ruled the people for a long time and knew that the main way to get people to obey was to not show them any doubt that they might disobey. Having obtained from Dron the obedient “I listen with,” Yakov Alpatych was satisfied with this, although he not only doubted, but was almost sure that the carts would not be delivered without the help of a military team.
And indeed, by evening the carts were not assembled. In the village at the tavern there was again a meeting, and at the meeting it was necessary to drive the horses into the forest and not give out the carts. Without saying anything about this to the princess, Alpatych ordered his own luggage to be packed from those who had come from Bald Mountains and to prepare these horses for the princess’s carriages, and he himself went to the authorities.

After her father's funeral, Princess Marya locked herself in her room and did not let anyone in. A girl came to the door to say that Alpatych had come to ask for orders to leave. (This was even before Alpatych’s conversation with Dron.) Princess Marya rose from the sofa on which she was lying and said through the closed door that she would never go anywhere and asked to be left alone.
The windows of the room in which Princess Marya lay were facing west. She lay on the sofa facing the wall and, fingering the buttons on the leather pillow, saw only this pillow, and her vague thoughts were focused on one thing: she was thinking about the irreversibility of death and about that spiritual abomination of hers, which she had not known until now and which showed up during her father’s illness. She wanted, but did not dare to pray, did not dare to state of mind, in which she was, turn to God. She lay in this position for a long time.
The sun set on the other side of the house and the slanting evening rays open windows The room also illuminated part of the morocco pillow that Princess Marya was looking at. Her train of thought suddenly stopped. She unconsciously stood up, straightened her hair, stood up and went to the window, involuntarily inhaling the coolness of a clear but windy evening.
“Yes, now it’s convenient for you to admire in the evening! He’s already gone, and no one will bother you,” she said to herself, and, sank into a chair, she dropped her head onto the windowsill.
Someone called her in a gentle and quiet voice from the side of the garden and kissed her on the head. She looked back. It was M lle Bourienne, in a black dress and pleres. She quietly approached Princess Marya, kissed her with a sigh and immediately began to cry. Princess Marya looked back at her. All previous clashes with her, jealousy towards her, were remembered by Princess Marya; I also remembered how he Lately changed to m lle Bourienne, could not see her, and, therefore, how unfair were the reproaches that Princess Marya made to her in her soul. “And should I, who wanted his death, condemn anyone? - she thought.
Princess Marya vividly imagined the position of m lle Bourienne, who had recently been distant from her society, but at the same time dependent on her and living in someone else’s house. And she felt sorry for her. She looked at her meekly questioningly and extended her hand. M lle Bourienne immediately began to cry, began to kiss her hand and talk about the grief that befell the princess, making herself a participant in this grief. She said that the only consolation in her grief was that the princess allowed her to share it with her. She said that all former misunderstandings should be destroyed before great grief, that she felt pure in front of everyone and that from there he could see her love and gratitude. The princess listened to her, not understanding her words, but occasionally looking at her and listening to the sounds of her voice.
“Your situation is doubly terrible, dear princess,” said m lle Bourienne, after a pause. – I understand that you could not and cannot think about yourself; but I am obliged to do this with my love for you... Was Alpatych with you? Did he talk to you about leaving? – she asked.
Princess Marya did not answer. She did not understand where and who was supposed to go. “Was it possible to do anything now, to think about anything? Doesn't it matter? She didn't answer.
“Do you know, chere Marie,” said m lle Bourienne, “do you know that we are in danger, that we are surrounded by the French; It's dangerous to travel now. If we go, we will almost certainly be captured, and God knows...
Princess Marya looked at her friend, not understanding what she was saying.
“Oh, if only someone knew how much I don’t care now,” she said. - Of course, I would never want to leave him... Alpatych told me something about leaving... Talk to him, I can’t do anything, I don’t want anything...

Your wedding Arash and Benaz We decided to celebrate with our closest people - relatives and friends. But nevertheless, guests came from all over the world: from Russia, Sweden, Great Britain, France, the USA, Iran. Among the guests were world-famous stars - the legendary football player and coach of the Swedish national team Roland Wilson, famous musician Basshunter, performer of the hits “Saturday” and “All I Ever Wanted.” In total there were about two hundred guests.
The newlyweds chose a five-star hotel as the venue for the ceremony. Madinat Jumeirah In Dubai. It’s really difficult to call this establishment a hotel, because every person who comes here immediately feels like a hero of an oriental fairy tale - respectful staff appears nearby at the first movement of the guest’s eyes and disappears just as imperceptibly, having fulfilled his wish. From the entrance to the hotel to the wedding ceremony site, the guests of the holiday were transported along a canal flowing between the palaces and gardens on elegant boats that were decorated with white flowers.
Arash said: “Benaz and I traveled a lot and always preferred to relax by the sea. And when the question arose about choosing a place for our wedding, we immediately decided to invite our guests to Dubai. It’s always warm here, very beautiful and romantic.”
On the beautiful beach of the Persian Gulf, a special hefty tent was erected, decorated with roses and orchids. By the way, for wedding ceremony The singer ordered more than a ton of white roses and more than two tons of orchids, which were specially delivered from Thailand.
When the guests were seated, the beautiful bride came out to the sound of music. Her dress was made to order in one of the London workshops. Arm in arm with her father, Benaz walked to the tent where Arash was waiting for her. The groom did not take his eyes off his bride. “Such a loving look was worth waiting for seven years!” - Benaz said later about this moment. Under the tent, to the sounds of rolling waves and quiet Iranian music, the young people swore an oath of allegiance to each other.
For Arasha and Benaz this marriage was the first. Previously, Arash repeatedly said in interviews that he would get married after forty, because he was not yet ready for such responsibility. But a few days ago he said: “I am the happiest person in the world. I have the most beautiful, caring, smart and chic woman” =)
In the network of the star wedding boom, more and more popular and desirable idols of the planet are caught, who, as if under hypnosis, go to the altar and easily part with their single status, replacing it on their pages in in social networks to the proud “married” or “married.” The popular Swedish musician also succumbed to feelings Iranian origin Arash, who in April 2011 walked his longtime lover Benaz down the aisle.
This romantic story originates 7 years ago. The young people met at a tennis tournament, where Arash, as soon as he saw a beautiful Iranian girl, immediately realized that it was love at first sight. However, everything turned out to be not so simple. The girl was so good that not only did she like her famous singer, but also to his friend, with whom they spent their leisure time. Arash was very upset by this coincidence, but he acted as a true friend and comrade, giving up the opportunity to get to know Benaz to his friend. Apparently, fate was kind to the singer that day, since the girl refused to meet Arash’s friend, and then the celebrity decided to try his luck, hoping to get the girl’s phone number. And the miracle happened! Benaz responded favorably to Arash’s advances and gave the lucky musician the treasured phone number. This is how this one began beautiful novel 7 years long.
Arash and Benaz always dreamed of a family, but, nevertheless, they constantly postponed this event for an indefinite period, citing the fact that both were not yet ready to take on such responsibilities. This is how this whole story might have dragged on if the singer had not last year become the godfather of Melody, the daughter of his music producer Robert Ullman. This step pushed the Iranian handsome man to a serious decision to get married and, subsequently, have children. Without hesitation, Arash last fall gave his beloved Benaz a diamond ring and solemnly made it. Inspired by happiness, Benaz gave her consent to enter into a legal marriage with the singer, which the singer himself was incredibly happy about. So, the ceremony for the newly-made bride and groom has begun.
The luxurious celebration took place in April 2011 and was truly fabulous and luxurious. The wedding was attended only by the couple's close friends and their families, who came from Sweden, France, the USA and Russia, totaling about 200 people. The ceremony itself took place in Dubai, in the magnificent five-star Madinat Jumeirah hotel, as if straight out of the pages of an oriental fairy tale. For the ceremony, a special tent was erected on the shores of the Persian Gulf, decorated with live orchids and roses, of which more than 3 tons were delivered on a special flight from Thailand.
The bride and groom were taken to the ceremony site on amazing white boats winding between the alleys and gardens of the hotel. Such beauty and splendor brought tears to many guests, especially when the bride Benaz appeared in the midst of this floral oasis in a luxurious dress, custom-made in London. Arm in arm with her father, the beauty swam to the altar, where her beloved Arash was already waiting for her in a black tuxedo, not taking his eyes off his beloved.
After exchanging traditional vows, Iranian rites took effect. The parents of the newlyweds walked around the loving couple three times with lit candles in order to ward off all evil spirits from the newly-made family. Then the parents presented Arash and Benaz with honey, Arash was the first to taste it, after which Benaz honored his wife with it from his fingers so that their life would be just as sweet. However, the fairy tale did not end there for happy Benaz: loving singer presented his beautiful young wife with an amazing platinum necklace, studded with diamonds, worth $400 thousand, which caused genuine surprise to Benaz. Let's wish happiness, patience and good luck to this young eastern couple and a speedy addition to the family that the young people so dream of!
