Grisha se \u00eentoarse brusc. Vocea era familiar\u0103, dar nu-\u0219i putea da seama imediat cui apar\u021bine. Din umbra unui copac ie\u0219i o siluet\u0103 mic\u0103 \u2013 era bunicul Kolyo, vechiul prieten al tat\u0103lui s\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103i, e\u0219ti tu? Nu cumva visez? \u2013 b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nse ochii \u0219i se apropie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu sunt, bunicule Kolyo… M-am \u00eentors… Dar tata nu mai e… \u2013 murmur\u0103 Grisha \u0219i sim\u021bi cum vocea \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul suspin\u0103 ad\u00e2nc \u0219i-l lovi pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E greu, b\u0103iatule… Dar tu e\u0219ti t\u00e2n\u0103r, o s\u0103 te descurci. Hai, vino cu mine. Nu are sens s\u0103 stai aici singur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grisha d\u0103du din cap \u0219i-l urm\u0103ri pe b\u0103tr\u00e2n c\u0103tre casa lui. C\u00e2nd intrar\u0103, mirosul de ceai \u0219i fum de lemne \u00eei lovi n\u0103rile. B\u0103tr\u00e2nul scoase dou\u0103 c\u0103ni \u0219i turn\u0103 o infuzie fierbinte din ierburi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Spune-mi, b\u0103iatule, cum a fost la armat\u0103? \u2013 \u00eentreb\u0103 Kolyo, parc\u0103 vr\u00e2nd s\u0103-l distrag\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A fost greu, dar m-am obi\u0219nuit. Cel mai greu a fost s\u0103 fiu departe de cas\u0103… Dar acum, c\u00e2nd m-am \u00eentors, totul e diferit… \u2013 suspin\u0103 Grisha \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i trecu m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u00eel privi atent \u0219i spuse \u00eencet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103, Grisha… \u00cenainte s\u0103 plece, tat\u0103l t\u0103u \u021bi-a spus ceva despre tine. A spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 te \u00eentorci, trebuie s\u0103-\u021bi dau ceva. A\u0219teapt\u0103 aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul intr\u0103 \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 camer\u0103 \u0219i dup\u0103 un minut se \u00eentoarse cu o cutie mic\u0103 din lemn. O d\u0103du lui Grisha, care o lu\u0103 cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde. Deschise capacul \u0219i g\u0103si o fotografie veche cu tat\u0103l s\u0103u \u0219i o scrisoare. Dezv\u0103lui foaia \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103 citeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eFiule, dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 nu am apucat s\u0103 te \u00eent\u00e2mpin acas\u0103. \u0218tiu c\u0103 e greu, dar trebuie s\u0103 fii tare. Mai am ceva s\u0103-\u021bi spun \u2013 \u00een p\u0103dure, aproape de vechea noastr\u0103 caban\u0103 de v\u00e2n\u0103toare, exist\u0103 ceva ce trebuie s\u0103 vezi. Acolo vei g\u0103si r\u0103spunsurile la unele \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Fii \u00eencrez\u0103tor \u00een inima ta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grisha str\u00e2nse scrisoarea \u00een m\u00e2ini. Cuvintele tat\u0103lui s\u0103u \u00eel f\u0103cur\u0103 s\u0103 simt\u0103 c\u0103 duhul lui era \u00eenc\u0103 acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bunicule Kolyo, \u0219tii despre ce vorbea tata? \u2013 \u00eel \u00eentreb\u0103 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu sunt sigur, b\u0103iatule, dar tat\u0103l t\u0103u mergea des la acea caban\u0103, mai ales \u00een ultimii ani. Poate c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 mergi acolo…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi diminea\u021ba, Grisha se trezi devreme, lu\u0103 o lantern\u0103, un cu\u021bit \u0219i pu\u021bin\u0103 m\u00e2ncare, \u0219i se \u00eendrept\u0103 c\u0103tre p\u0103dure. Poteca era acoperit\u0103, dar \u00eenc\u0103 o \u021binea minte din copil\u0103rie. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce mergea, sim\u021bi o prezen\u021b\u0103 ciudat\u0103. Deodat\u0103, din spatele unui tufi\u015f, ap\u0103ru un lup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era t\u00e2n\u0103r, dar puternic, cu blan\u0103 gri \u0219i ochi p\u0103trunz\u0103tori. Grisha se opri brusc, gata s\u0103 se apere, dar lupul nu p\u0103rea agresiv. Dimpotriv\u0103, \u00eel privea ca pe un vechi cunoscut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu… \u2013 \u0219opti Grisha, amintindu-\u0219i de puiul de lup pe care-l crescuse cu ani \u00een urm\u0103. \u2013 Nu se poate s\u0103 fii tu…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lupul p\u0103\u0219i \u00eenainte, \u00eel ocoli o dat\u0103 \u0219i apoi \u00eencepu \u00eencet s\u0103 mearg\u0103 pe potec\u0103. Se oprea \u0219i privea \u00eenapoi, parc\u0103 invit\u00e2ndu-l s\u0103-l urmeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grisha lu\u0103 o gur\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103 de aer \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103-l urmeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 aproximativ o jum\u0103tate de or\u0103 de mers, lupul se opri \u00een fa\u021ba vechii cabane de v\u00e2n\u0103toare. Grisha se apropie de u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i o \u00eempinse. Se deschise cu un scr\u00e2\u0219net, dezv\u0103luind \u00eentunericul din interior. Aprinse lanterna \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103 cerceteze \u00eenc\u0103perea. Era plin\u0103 de praf, dar pe una dintre mese se afla ceva ce \u00eei atrase aten\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O cutie. \u00cenc\u0103 o cutie, asem\u0103n\u0103toare cu cea pe care i-o d\u0103duse bunicul Kolyo. O deschise cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2nd puternic \u0219i g\u0103si un jurnal gros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u0103sfoi primele pagini. Era jurnalul tat\u0103lui s\u0103u. Cu fiecare pagin\u0103 citit\u0103, ochii lui Grisha se l\u0103rgeau. Acolo scria despre o veche tain\u0103 de familie, despre ceva \u00eengropat \u00een p\u0103dure… despre un loc pe care tat\u0103l s\u0103u \u00eel \u021binea secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deodat\u0103, se auzi un zgomot afar\u0103. Lupul st\u0103tea pe prag \u0219i-l privea. Parc\u0103 \u00eei spunea: \u201eE timpul s\u0103 mergi mai departe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grisha str\u00e2nse jurnalul \u0219i ie\u0219i afar\u0103. Inima \u00eei b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te. Ceva \u00eei spunea c\u0103 via\u021ba lui nu va mai fi niciodat\u0103 la fel…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
