La \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntarea nepoatei, b\u0103nuind c\u0103 ceva nu e \u00een regul\u0103, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul s-a apropiat de sicriu \u0219i a deschis capacul. La cele v\u0103zute, p\u0103rul i s-a ridicat \u00een cap\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen micul sat rom\u00e2nesc, unde fiecare \u00eel cuno\u0219tea pe cel\u0103lalt, domnea o t\u0103cere ap\u0103s\u0103toare. \u00cenmorm\u00e2ntarea micu\u021bei Alina, nepoata iubit\u0103 a lui \u0218tefan Petrescu, adunase to\u021bi locuitorii. Durerea \u00eenc\u0103tu\u0219ase inimile, iar lacrimile curgeau \u0219iroaie. Dar \u00een mijlocul acestei dureri, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul bunic \u0219i credinciosul s\u0103u c\u00e2ine Pufos sim\u021beau ceva ciudat, inexplicabil. Pufos, de obicei lini\u0219tit, \u00eencepuse deodat\u0103 s\u0103 latre \u0219i s\u0103 se arunce spre sicriu, ca \u0219i cum \u00eencerca s\u0103 avertizeze despre ceva. \u0218tefan Petrescu, zdrobit de pierdere, nu a dat aten\u021bie la \u00eenceput, dar nelini\u0219tea c\u00e2inelui s-a transmis \u0219i lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a apropiat \u00eencet de sicriu, cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2ndu-i cu putere. Oamenii din jur \u0219opteau, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0219i-a pierdut min\u021bile de durere. Dar Pufos nu se lini\u0219tea, l\u0103tratul s\u0103u devenea tot mai puternic, iar ochii \u00eei ardeau de hot\u0103r\u00e2re. \u0218tefan Petrescu, ced\u00e2nd unui impuls interior, \u0219i-a pus m\u00e2na pe capacul sicriului. \u00cen acel moment, a auzit un sunet slab, abia perceptibil \u2014 ca un geam\u0103t venind din interior. Mul\u021bimea a \u00eenghe\u021bat, iar b\u0103tr\u00e2nul, nevenindu-i s\u0103 cread\u0103 urechilor, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 deschid\u0103 sicriul cu disperare, \u00een ciuda protestelor celor din jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capacul a cedat, iar \u0218tefan Petrescu a privit \u00een\u0103untru. Ceea ce a v\u0103zut l-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 i se ridice p\u0103rul \u00een cap. Ochii i s-au m\u0103rit de groaz\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina, nepoata lui de \u0219apte ani, respira. Pleoapele \u00eei tremurau, iar pe fruntea ei rece ap\u0103ruser\u0103 pic\u0103turi fine de transpira\u021bie. Nu era moart\u0103. Fusese \u00eengropat\u0103 de vie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eE vie!\u201d a strigat \u0218tefan, cu vocea r\u0103gu\u0219it\u0103 de emo\u021bie. \u201eAlina e vie!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mul\u021bimea s-a n\u0103pustit \u00eenainte, nevenindu-le s\u0103 cread\u0103. Doctorul satului, Matei Ionescu, \u0219i-a f\u0103cut loc prin mul\u021bime \u0219i s-a aplecat asupra feti\u021bei. Cu m\u00e2ini tremur\u00e2nde, i-a verificat pulsul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCatalepsie,\u201d a \u0219optit el, palid. \u201eO stare de moarte aparent\u0103. Doamne, am certificat eu \u00eensumi decesul\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haosul s-a dezl\u0103n\u021buit. Cineva a sunat la ambulan\u021b\u0103, al\u021bii aduceau ap\u0103, iar b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0218tefan o \u021binea str\u00e2ns pe Alina, ca \u0219i cum ar fi putut s\u0103 dispar\u0103 din nou. Pufos se a\u0219ezase l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei, vigilent, l\u0103tr\u00e2nd la oricine se apropia prea mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La spitalul jude\u021bean, medicii au confirmat diagnosticul: o form\u0103 rar\u0103 de catalepsie, declan\u0219at\u0103 de o infec\u021bie viral\u0103 care \u00eencetinise toate func\u021biile vitale p\u00e2n\u0103 la un nivel aproape nedetectabil. Alina fusese declarat\u0103 moart\u0103 prematur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, satul a fost zguduit de revela\u021bie. B\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0218tefan devenise eroul tuturor, iar Pufos primea buc\u0103\u021bi de carne de la fiecare gospod\u0103rie. Dar \u00eentrebarea care nu-i d\u0103dea pace b\u0103tr\u00e2nului era: cum de el \u0219i c\u00e2inele s\u0103u sim\u021biser\u0103 ce doctorul \u0219i aparatele medicale nu detectaser\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, la dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni dup\u0103 miracol, c\u00e2nd Alina era deja acas\u0103, recuper\u00e2ndu-se, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0218tefan st\u0103tea pe prispa casei. Pufos alerg\u0103 brusc spre poart\u0103, l\u0103tr\u00e2nd prietenos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un b\u0103rbat \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103, cu p\u0103rul alb \u0219i un baston sculptat, intr\u0103 \u00een curte. \u0218tefan \u00eel recunoscu imediat \u2013 era Vasile, vr\u0103jitorul satului vecin, despre care se spunea c\u0103 vede dincolo de v\u0103lul dintre lumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm sim\u021bit c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 vin,\u201d spuse Vasile, a\u0219ez\u00e2ndu-se l\u00e2ng\u0103 \u0218tefan. \u201eS\u0103-\u021bi spun ce \u0219tii deja \u00een inima ta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul vr\u0103jitor \u00eei explic\u0103 lui \u0218tefan c\u0103 exist\u0103 oameni \u0219i animale care pot sim\u021bi umbrele mor\u021bii \u2013 sau absen\u021ba lor. Pufos sim\u021bise c\u0103 sufletul Alinei nu p\u0103r\u0103sise trupul, a\u0219a cum se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 la moartea adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTu \u0219i c\u00e2inele t\u0103u \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219i\u021bi acela\u0219i dar,\u201d ad\u0103ug\u0103 Vasile. \u201eDe aceea ai putut auzi ce al\u021bii nu auzeau.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea noapte, \u00een timp ce Alina dormea lini\u0219tit\u0103 \u00een camera ei, \u0218tefan st\u0103tea treaz, g\u00e2ndindu-se la cuvintele vr\u0103jitorului. \u00ce\u0219i aminti brusc alte momente din via\u021ba sa c\u00e2nd sim\u021bise lucruri inexplicabile \u2013 ca atunci c\u00e2nd \u0219tiuse exact c\u00e2nd so\u021bia sa murise, de\u0219i era la kilometri distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un har, sau o povar\u0103? Se \u00eentreb\u0103 el, m\u00e2ng\u00e2ind capul lui Pufos. Poate ambele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen lunile care urmar\u0103, povestea miraculoas\u0103 a Alinei se r\u0103sp\u00e2ndi \u00een toat\u0103 regiunea. Oamenii veneau s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u201efata care s-a \u00eentors din mor\u021bi\u201d \u0219i c\u00e2inele care o salvase. Dar \u0218tefan \u0219tia adev\u0103rul \u2013 nu fusese vorba despre a se \u00eentoarce din mor\u021bi, ci despre a nu fi l\u0103sat\u0103 s\u0103 plece \u00eenainte de vreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, \u00een timp ce Alina se juca \u00een gr\u0103din\u0103 cu Pufos, \u00eel \u00eentreb\u0103 pe bunicul ei:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBuniculee, ce ai v\u0103zut c\u00e2nd ai deschis sicriul? De ce \u021bi s-a ridicat p\u0103rul \u00een cap?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218tefan o privi lung, apoi z\u00e2mbi. \u201eAm v\u0103zut viitorul t\u0103u, micu\u021ba mea. \u0218i era prea frumos ca s\u0103-l l\u0103s\u0103m s\u0103 dispar\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
