<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania \u0219i-a deschis brusc ochii. Probabil adormise pe iarba umed\u0103 sub stejar. E un vis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ajutor\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu, vocea era real\u0103, aproape! \u0218i a unui copil! Ce face un copil \u00een p\u0103dure noaptea?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A s\u0103rit \u00een picioare \u0219i s-a dus spre voce, strecur\u00e2ndu-se prin tufi\u0219urile spinoase. Co\u0219ul cu ciuperci a r\u0103mas \u00een urm\u0103 \u2014 acum nu mai conta, s\u0103 o ia Zinaida!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea se apropia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hei! Unde e\u0219ti? M\u0103 auzi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pauz\u0103. \u0218i iar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine e\u0219ti? Baba Yaga? Ai venit s\u0103 m\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, sunt Tania. \u0218i eu m-am r\u0103t\u0103cit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen cele din urm\u0103 a v\u0103zut o feti\u021b\u0103. St\u0103tea pe un ciot \u00eenalt, de aproximativ un metru \u0219i jum\u0103tate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Uau! Ce sus ai urcat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feti\u021ba a oftat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acolo\u2026 acolo sunt broa\u0219te\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i s-a uitat la Tania cu speran\u021b\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 vei salva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania a \u00eencercat s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 cu \u00eencredere:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Desigur! Tocmai de asta am venit aici. Dar hai s\u0103 a\u0219tept\u0103m p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021ba \u2014 noaptea e u\u0219or s\u0103 calci str\u00e2mb sau s\u0103 cazi undeva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen lumina lunii, Tania vedea cum feti\u021ba era umflat\u0103 de lacrimi. Acum cel mai important era s\u0103 o lini\u0219teasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu vei pleca?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, nu m\u0103 duc nic\u0103ieri. O s\u0103 ne aranj\u0103m cumva acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania aduna pe \u00eentuneric crengu\u021be, f\u0103c\u00e2nd o gr\u0103mad\u0103. Ploaia se oprise, dar p\u0103m\u00e2ntul era \u00eenc\u0103 umed. S-a a\u0219ezat pe acel pat improvizat \u0219i a \u00eentins m\u00e2inile c\u0103tre copil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vino la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar broa\u0219tele?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ele au adormit demult!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feti\u021ba a cobor\u00e2t cu grij\u0103 de pe ciot \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een poala Taniei, ghemuit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania a \u00eenf\u0103\u0219urat-o cu puloverul ei. Treptat, micu\u021ba s-a oprit din tremurat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ma\u0219a\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce ai venit aici, Ma\u0219enka, s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci terci la urs \u0219i s\u0103 te culci \u00een patul lui?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feti\u021ba a r\u00e2s \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 Doar c\u0103 voiam s\u0103-l sperii pe tata\u2026 \u0219i m-am r\u0103t\u0103cit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce \u00eel speriai?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu m-a l\u0103sat s\u0103 m\u0103 duc la r\u00e2u s\u0103 m\u0103 scald!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 te scald? Dar e deja toamn\u0103, e frig!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-a\u0219 fi mers s\u0103 m\u0103 scald! Doar de ce nu am voie?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a vorbea tot mai \u00eencet, glasul i se f\u0103cea somnoros. Ochii \u00eei \u00eencepeau s\u0103 se \u00eenchid\u0103 singuri. Tania a z\u00e2mbit cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mai pu\u021bin \u0219i trebuia s\u0103 reziste doar cinci ore \u2014 \u0219i atunci putea s\u0103 se g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la orice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probabil c\u0103 \u0219i ea\u00eens\u0103\u0219i a adormit: \u0219i-a deschis ochii \u2014 iar \u00een jur deja era lumin\u0103. Prin frunzi\u0219 au \u00eenceput s\u0103 p\u0103trund\u0103 primele raze de soare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Treze\u0219te-te, somnoroaso! Trebuie s\u0103 g\u0103sim pe tat\u0103l t\u0103u!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a s-a \u00eentins \u0219i a c\u0103scat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i de ce s\u0103-l c\u0103ut\u0103m? El e p\u0103durarul de aici!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania \u00eencremeni. \u00cel v\u0103zuse de c\u00e2teva ori pe b\u0103rbatul acela \u00een sat, \u0219i de fiecare dat\u0103 se surprindea c\u0103 ro\u0219ea f\u0103r\u0103 voie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era at\u00e2t de frumos. \u0218i privirea lui\u2026 Dar nu schimbaser\u0103 niciun cuv\u00e2nt, \u0219i nici m\u0103car nu-i \u0219tia numele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acum era clar \u2014 avea o fiic\u0103. Asta \u00eensemna c\u0103 avea probabil \u0219i o so\u021bie. N-avea cum s\u0103 fie altfel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-au ridicat \u0219i s-au uitat \u00een jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 mergem \u00een direc\u021bia de unde a r\u0103s\u0103rit soarele. Deci satul t\u0103u e pe acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a miji ochii \u0219iret:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar de unde \u0219tii care e satul meu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania a r\u00e2s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mi-au spus broa\u0219tele!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a a r\u00e2s cu veselie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai mai repede! Mi-e foame r\u0103u!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania oft\u0103. Dac\u0103 totul ar fi fost at\u00e2t de simplu\u2026 Dup\u0103 pozi\u021bia soarelui p\u0103rea c\u0103 au ales direc\u021bia corect\u0103, dar cine \u0219tie\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva ore, au auzit l\u0103tratul c\u00e2inilor. Ma\u0219a, epuizat\u0103, s-a \u00eenviorat imediat \u0219i a strigat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Laska! Joi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din tufi\u0219uri au ap\u0103rut doi c\u00e2ini mari. Tania s-a oprit surprins\u0103, iar feti\u021ba a alergat spre ei, s\u0103rut\u00e2ndu-le boturile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2inii, aproape c\u00e2t copilul de mari, d\u0103deau din coad\u0103 bucuro\u0219i \u0219i \u00eencercau s-o ling\u0103 pe st\u0103p\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunt ai no\u0219tri! Asta \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 tata e aproape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se auzi un fluierat lung, iar c\u00e2inii r\u0103spunser\u0103 l\u0103tr\u00e2nd. Unul a r\u0103mas cu Ma\u0219a, iar cel\u0103lalt a disp\u0103rut \u00een p\u0103dure, ca s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 cu st\u0103p\u00e2nul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tata!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a i-a s\u0103rit tat\u0103lui \u00een bra\u021be. El a ridicat-o \u0219i a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit-o \u00een bra\u021bele lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ma\u0219ka, ce m-ai speriat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu m-am speriat\u2026 Nu mai fac asta niciodat\u0103! Iar Tania m-a salvat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania z\u00e2mbi cu am\u0103r\u0103ciune. \u201eSalvat\u2026\u201d \u0218i ea se pierduse, de fapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oboseala o cuprinse brusc \u2014 i-au cedat picioarele \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe o movil\u0103 apropiat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tensiunea din ultimele ore \u00eencepea s\u0103 se risipeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pofti\u021bi, be\u021bi, \u2014 spuse b\u0103rbatul, \u00eentinz\u00e2ndu-i o sticl\u0103. \u2014 Apoi plec\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania a luat c\u00e2teva guri de suc dulce de fructe \u0219i s-a ridicat cuminte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au mers cam o or\u0103. Tat\u0103l a purtat-o pe Ma\u0219a tot drumul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2inii alergau pu\u021bin \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd s-a z\u0103rit satul, Tania a \u00een\u021beles \u2014 nu era satul ei, ci cel \u00een care locuia p\u0103durarul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 la casa Nikit\u00ee\u0219nei mai era cale lung\u0103 \u2014 aproape \u0219ase kilometri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oft\u0103 cu suferin\u021b\u0103. P\u0103durarul z\u00e2mbi, ca \u0219i cum i-ar fi citit g\u00e2ndurile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 V\u0103 odihni\u021bi, m\u00e2nca\u021bi ceva \u2014 \u0219i v\u0103 duc eu. Am motociclet\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania z\u00e2mbi recunosc\u0103toare, dar nu-\u0219i putea aminti cum \u00eel chema pe b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El parc\u0103 i-a auzit iar g\u00e2ndul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 cheam\u0103 Iura. Iar pe dumneavoastr\u0103 Tania \u2014 Ma\u0219a mi-a spus deja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casa se afla la marginea satului, aproape de p\u0103dure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 b\u0103rbatul \u00ee\u0219i c\u0103utase fiica singur \u2014 \u00eensemna c\u0103 nu fusese panic\u0103 \u00een sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiar putea s\u0103 se odihneasc\u0103 pu\u021bin. Nikit\u00ee\u0219na nu va afla. Casa era mare, primitoare, \u00eengrijit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen\u0103untru domnea o cur\u0103\u021benie perfect\u0103, mobilierul era confortabil \u0219i c\u0103lduros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Face\u021bi-v\u0103 comozi! Imediat v\u0103 dau de m\u00e2ncare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219a d\u0103du din cap cu entuziasm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc totul!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iura r\u00e2se:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Totul, adic\u0103 trei firimituri, ca un pui\u0219or!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania m\u00e2nca bor\u0219 fierbinte \u0219i sim\u021bea o c\u0103ldur\u0103 ciudat\u0103 \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cineva avea grij\u0103 de ea. \u00cei aduceau p\u00e2ine. \u00cei turnau felul doi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu trebuia s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce repede, pentru c\u0103 o a\u0219tepta munca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putea pur \u0219i simplu\u2026 s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i totu\u0219i, \u00een cur\u00e2nd trebuia s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 acas\u0103. Acolo unde demult visa s\u0103 nu se mai \u00eentoarc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lupta cu somnul, dar Iura observ\u0103 \u0219i \u00eei ar\u0103t\u0103 canapeaua moale:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Haide\u021bi, culca\u021bi-v\u0103 pu\u021bin. Nu se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 nimic dac\u0103 dormi\u021bi o or\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00eentr-adev\u0103r, ce s-ar putea \u00eent\u00e2mpla? Poate cre\u0219te iarba din gr\u0103din\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acel moment Tania \u00een\u021belese: nu mai poate suporta!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cum ajunge acas\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i va face bagajele \u0219i va pleca. S\u0103 nu o a\u0219tepte nimeni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Va g\u0103si o solu\u021bie. S-a trezit seara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vai! De ce nu m-a\u021bi trezit?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iura se uit\u0103 la ea cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be g\u00e2nditoare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am vrut. Z\u00e2mbea\u021bi \u00een somn\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i Ma\u0219a?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doarme demult. Viseaz\u0103 al zecelea vis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania oft\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nikit\u00ee\u0219na m\u0103 omoar\u0103\u2026 Pentru co\u0219\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iura se uit\u0103 la ea uimit \u0219i \u00eentreb\u0103 \u00eencet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Adic\u0103 pentru c\u0103 era\u021bi c\u00e2t pe ce s\u0103 muri\u021bi \u00een p\u0103dure \u2014 nu o deranjeaz\u0103, dar pentru un co\u0219 \u2014 da?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tania se \u00eencurc\u0103. Nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i deodat\u0103 \u00een\u021belese: el vede tot! Cu \u00eentrebarea aceea spusese totul despre via\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iura cl\u0103tin\u0103 din cap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum s\u0103 te pre\u021buie\u0219ti at\u00e2t de pu\u021bin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi dreptate\u2026 M-am hot\u0103r\u00e2t deja. M\u0103 \u00eentorc, \u00eemi iau lucrurile \u0219i plec \u00een ora\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i acolo ai pe cineva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe nimeni. Nimic. O s\u0103 m\u0103 descurc. O s\u0103-mi g\u0103sesc de munc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iura t\u0103cu, g\u00e2ndindu-se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tania se uit\u0103 la el \u0219i sim\u021bi c\u0103 se afund\u0103 \u00eentr-o c\u0103ldur\u0103 \u0219i siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it ai venit?! Ar trebui s\u0103 te dau pe m\u00e2na poli\u021biei!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zinaida Nikit\u00ee\u0219na d\u0103du din m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai avea putere s\u0103 se certe \u2014 umblase toat\u0103 ziua dup\u0103 animale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am ce s\u0103 dau \u00een judecat\u0103, dar pe mine\u2026 M-a l\u0103sat b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 ajutor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce fel de rud\u0103 e\u0219ti tu pentru ea?! Dac\u0103 are cap pe umeri, nu se mai \u00eentoarce la tine niciodat\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce spui acolo?! Trebuie s\u0103-mi fie recunosc\u0103toare toat\u0103 via\u021ba!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Taci din gur\u0103! Nu sunt Tania, s\u0103-\u021bi \u021bin isonul!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-ai distrus via\u021ba fetei!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ia uite, cine-i acolo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motocicleta p\u0103durarului s-a oprit la poart\u0103. Tania a cobor\u00e2t, a salutat scurt \u0219i s-a \u00eendreptat hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103 spre cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zinaida ezit\u0103 o clip\u0103, apoi \u021bip\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepanovna ridic\u0103 din umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, Tania ie\u0219i din cas\u0103 cu o geant\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La revedere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
