Rosal\u00eda o privi pe fat\u0103 cu aten\u021bie. M\u00e2inile sub\u021biri, care se mi\u0219cau gr\u0103bite peste caietul de desen, tremurau u\u0219or. Desenele ei, odinioar\u0103 pline de flori \u0219i p\u0103s\u0103ri, acum ar\u0103tau umbre, forme \u00eentunecate \u0219i chipuri stranii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia sim\u021bi cum inima i se str\u00e2nge. \u00ce\u0219i aminti de pove\u0219tile din satul natal, unde b\u0103tr\u00e2nele ziceau c\u0103 un copil care deseneaz\u0103 umbre ascunde o tain\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103, o ran\u0103 pe care nu \u00eendr\u0103zne\u0219te s\u0103 o spun\u0103 cu glas tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele ce au urmat, Rosal\u00eda observ\u0103 tot mai multe. Isabel nu mai m\u00e2nca aproape nimic \u0219i tres\u0103rea ori de c\u00e2te ori Ricardo \u00eei atingea umerii. Sof\u00eda, orbit\u0103 de dragostea pentru noul so\u021b, p\u0103rea s\u0103 nu vad\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, la cin\u0103, Isabel sc\u0103p\u0103 paharul din m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i sticla se sparse pe podea. Ricardo \u00eei puse m\u00e2na pe ceaf\u0103 prea str\u00e2ns, prea posesiv, \u0219i-i \u0219opti ceva ce Rosal\u00eda nu auzi. Dar fa\u021ba fetei se albi ca varul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci, menajera \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 nu-\u0219i mai putea permite s\u0103 tac\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se retrase \u00een odaia ei \u0219i, cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde, aprinse candela mic\u0103 de pe noptier\u0103. \u00cengenuncheat\u0103, \u0219opti rug\u0103ciuni pe care le auzise de la mama ei: \u201eDoamne, lumineaz\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 fac ce-i drept.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen noaptea urm\u0103toare, \u00ee\u0219i preg\u0103ti un plan. L\u0103s\u0103 fereastra deschis\u0103 \u0219i se a\u0219ez\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tepte. La ceas de miezul nop\u021bii, c\u00e2nd lini\u0219tea era mai ad\u00e2nc\u0103, v\u0103zu din nou silueta lui Ricardo intr\u00e2nd \u00een camera fetei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De data asta, Rosal\u00eda nu se mai \u00eendoi. \u00ce\u0219i puse n\u0103frama pe cap \u0219i ie\u0219i din odaie, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o cruciuli\u021b\u0103 de lemn. Urc\u0103 sc\u0103rile \u00een t\u0103cere, dar cu pa\u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd deschise u\u0219a camerei lui Isabel, imaginea \u00eei sf\u00e2\u0219ie sufletul: fata pl\u00e2ngea \u00een t\u0103cere, iar Ricardo se apleca amenin\u021b\u0103tor asupra ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Ajunge! \u2014strig\u0103 Rosal\u00eda, cu o for\u021b\u0103 pe care nu \u0219i-o \u0219tia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ricardo se \u00eentoarse brusc, furia \u00eentunec\u00e2ndu-i chipul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Nu e treaba ta! \u2014url\u0103 el, ridic\u00e2nd m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar atunci, Sof\u00eda ap\u0103ru \u00een prag, trezit\u0103 de \u021bip\u0103t. Ochii ei trecur\u0103 de la chipul contorsionat al so\u021bului, la lacrimile fiicei, apoi la curajul menajerei. \u0218i totul se l\u0103muri \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Cum ai putut?! \u2014\u021bip\u0103 Sof\u00eda, smulg\u00e2ndu-\u0219i fata din m\u00e2inile lui Ricardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea noapte, hacienda r\u0103sun\u0103 de strig\u0103te \u0219i pl\u00e2ns. Ricardo fu alungat cu blesteme, iar Sof\u00eda \u00eel scoase pe por\u021bi chiar \u00eenainte de r\u0103s\u0103rit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabel se str\u00e2nse la pieptul mamei, iar Rosal\u00eda, obosit\u0103, sim\u021bi cum ochii i se umplu de lacrimi. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu se mai sim\u021bea singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De\u0219i via\u021ba lor nu avea s\u0103 fie u\u0219oar\u0103, lini\u0219tea se a\u0219ternu peste Hacienda Santa Clara. Fata \u00ee\u0219i reg\u0103si \u00eencet-\u00eencet z\u00e2mbetul, iar desenele ei se umplur\u0103 din nou de flori \u0219i p\u0103s\u0103ri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar Rosal\u00eda, femeia simpl\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 familie, fu privit\u0103 de to\u021bi ca o adev\u0103rat\u0103 eroin\u0103, asemenea femeilor din vechile pove\u0219ti rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti, care au avut curajul s\u0103 \u00eenfrunte r\u0103ul \u0219i s\u0103 aduc\u0103 lumina \u00een casa celor neputincio\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acea noapte schimb\u0103 totul. \u0218i nimeni nu mai uit\u0103 vreodat\u0103 c\u0103 uneori, chiar \u0219i o singur\u0103 voce hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103 poate opri \u00eentunericul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
