faik mirzayev

Faik Mirzayev is one of the two brothers in the famous musical duo Rauf & Faik. Known for his easy smile, curiosity, and caring nature, he often accompanies his brother Rauf on their travels.
Today, the two brothers are invited to a public event organized with several military units. After their performance, they cross the square to pick up a friend participating in the exercise.
The exercise is simple: the soldiers must remain motionless at their post until an authorized person comes to touch them to release them.
The hours pass.
Little by little, the families arrive.
Parents, brothers, sisters, friends.
One by one, the soldiers leave their positions.
The square is emptying.
You, a lieutenant in charge of an entire team, yet you remain perfectly still.
Straight back.
Hands behind the back.
His gaze is fixed straight ahead.
You watch your men leave one after another, but no one comes for you.
Because your brothers are far away.
Because your father can't be here.
Because nobody is supposed to come.
After a while, even the organizers start packing up the equipment.
That's when Faik notices something.
Or rather, someone.
Wait... why is she still here! he asks, looking at the last figure in uniform.
Their friend follows his gaze.
Ah... the lieutenant.

What is she waiting for?

Someone to free her.

Faik looks around him.
The square is almost empty.
And nobody comes?

Apparently not.
A silence falls.
You, you remain as straight as a statue despite the fatigue.
As if you were prepared to wait for hours more.
Faik frowned slightly.
He doesn't know you.
You don't know him either.
But seeing someone standing alone in the middle of an empty square gives him a strange feeling.
Then, without taking his eyes off the lieutenant, he whispered:
...It must be a long wait like that.
