\u00cen clipa \u00een care b\u0103tr\u00e2nul se apropie de ea, inima i se str\u00e2nse ca un pumn. Nu din dragoste, ci din team\u0103 \u0219i grea\u021b\u0103. \u00cens\u0103 brusc, tot ce p\u0103rea inevitabil se opri. B\u0103rbatul, cu obrajii \u00eenro\u0219i\u021bi de b\u0103utur\u0103 \u0219i cu privirea \u00eencordat\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la piept \u0219i c\u0103zu pe pat, g\u00e2f\u00e2ind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00e2n\u0103ra se ridic\u0103 speriat\u0103. \u00cel privi cum se zb\u0103tea, cum respira greu, iar \u00een c\u00e2teva clipe lini\u0219tea se a\u0219ternu \u00een camer\u0103. Licoarea pe care o b\u0103use, menit\u0103 s\u0103-i dea putere, \u00eei curmase via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata izbucni \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Nu era pl\u00e2ns de iubire, ci de spaim\u0103 \u0219i de neputin\u021b\u0103. Avea doar 20 de ani \u0219i, \u00een loc s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i \u00eenceap\u0103 via\u021ba, fusese aruncat\u0103 \u00eentr-o colivie de aur care acum se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea peste ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, vestea mor\u021bii b\u0103tr\u00e2nului se r\u0103sp\u00e2ndi \u00een tot satul. Vecinii \u0219u\u0219oteau la por\u021bi, unii cu mil\u0103, al\u021bii cu r\u0103utate. \u201eA\u0219a p\u0103\u021be\u0219ti c\u00e2nd te iei de tinerici, la v\u00e2rsta asta\u2026\u201d, murmurau b\u0103tr\u00e2nele adunate la f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Familia fetei veni pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd, dar nu din durere pentru ginerele pierdut. Veniser\u0103 s\u0103 vad\u0103 dac\u0103 averea promis\u0103 va fi \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bit\u0103 sau dac\u0103 fata lor va fi alungat\u0103 cu m\u00e2inile goale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen curtea casei mari, cele trei fiice ale b\u0103rbatului se adunar\u0103. \u00cembr\u0103cate \u00een negru, cu priviri aspre, se uitau la t\u00e2n\u0103ra v\u0103duv\u0103 ca la o str\u0103in\u0103. Una dintre ele \u00eei \u0219opti celeilalte:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-a trecut nici o noapte \u0219i ne-a adus moartea \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata, cu ochii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns, r\u0103mase \u00een prag, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i g\u0103seasc\u0103 locul. \u0218tia c\u0103 pentru ele era doar o intrus\u0103, o \u201ecump\u0103r\u0103tur\u0103\u201d f\u0103cut\u0103 de tat\u0103l lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Satul era mic \u0219i r\u0103ut\u0103\u021bile se r\u0103sp\u00e2ndeau repede. Oamenii o priveau pe uli\u021b\u0103 \u0219i vorbeau: \u201eA omor\u00e2t b\u0103tr\u00e2nul\u2026 nu cu m\u00e2na, dar cu tinere\u021bea ei.\u201d Al\u021bii \u00eens\u0103 sim\u021beau compasiune: \u201eBiata copil\u0103, v\u00e2ndut\u0103 ca o vit\u0103 pentru o datorie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acele zile grele, t\u00e2n\u0103ra \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103sea lini\u0219tea doar \u00een biserica satului. St\u0103tea ore \u00eentregi \u00een fa\u021ba icoanelor, aprinz\u00e2nd lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u0219i rug\u00e2ndu-se. Nu pentru b\u0103tr\u00e2n, ci pentru ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i, pentru libertate. Preotul, v\u0103z\u00e2nd-o at\u00e2t de zdrobit\u0103, i-a spus bl\u00e2nd:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Fata mea, Dumnezeu nu \u00eeng\u0103duie nimic f\u0103r\u0103 rost. Poate c\u0103 asta e \u0219ansa ta s\u0103-\u021bi recl\u0103de\u0219ti via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuvintele lui \u00eei \u00eencol\u021bir\u0103 \u00een inim\u0103 o speran\u021b\u0103 timid\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, \u00een timp ce ducea ap\u0103 de la f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103, o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 din sat, cunoscut\u0103 pentru \u00een\u021belepciunea ei, se apropie \u0219i \u00eei spuse:
\u2014 Copil\u0103, ai noroc c\u0103 n-ai apucat s\u0103-\u021bi legi sufletul. E\u0219ti liber\u0103 acum. Ai grij\u0103 de tine \u0219i nu mai l\u0103sa pe nimeni s\u0103-\u021bi hot\u0103rasc\u0103 soarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vorbele acelea \u00eei r\u0103sunar\u0103 \u00een minte toat\u0103 ziua. Liber\u0103\u2026 cuv\u00e2ntul acesta p\u0103rea imposibil, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00eel sim\u021bea ca pe o realitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiicele b\u0103tr\u00e2nului, ocupate s\u0103 \u00eempart\u0103 averea, nu se sinchiseau prea mult de ea. O l\u0103saser\u0103 \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 mic\u0103 din spatele casei, ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost o slug\u0103. Dar t\u00e2n\u0103ra \u00eencepu s\u0103 prind\u0103 curaj. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nse c\u00e2teva lucruri \u00eentr-un \u0219tergar \u0219i plec\u0103 din cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uli\u021bele satului erau pustii, c\u00e2inii l\u0103trau \u00een cur\u021bi, iar luna \u00eei lumina drumul. Nu \u0219tia unde se duce, dar \u0219tia c\u0103 nu se mai poate \u00eentoarce. Ajunse la casa p\u0103rin\u021bilor, unde fratele ei bolnav o a\u0219tepta cu un z\u00e2mbet slab. P\u0103rin\u021bii o priveau cu ru\u0219ine \u0219i team\u0103, \u0219tiind c\u0103 banii primi\u021bi se vor \u00eentoarce \u00eempotriva lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, tat\u0103, nu vreau nimic de la voi, doar s\u0103-mi da\u021bi voie s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc dup\u0103 inima mea, le spuse ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a luat fratele de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i i-a promis c\u0103 va avea grij\u0103 de el. \u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, \u0219i-a g\u0103sit de lucru la o familie din sat care avea nevoie de ajutor la c\u00e2mp. Munca era grea, dar era cinstit\u0103 \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021bea gustul libert\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anii au trecut. Vorbele satului s-au stins, a\u0219a cum se sting toate b\u00e2rfele odat\u0103 cu trecerea timpului. T\u00e2n\u0103ra, ajuns\u0103 femeie \u00een toat\u0103 firea, devenise respectat\u0103 pentru h\u0103rnicia \u0219i bun\u0103tatea ei. \u00ce\u0219i crescuse fratele ca pe propriul copil \u0219i, \u00eentr-o zi, un fl\u0103c\u0103u din sat, care o iubea \u00een tain\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 din adolescen\u021b\u0103, i-a cerut m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De data aceasta, fata nu mai pl\u00e2ngea din resemnare, ci din bucurie. Nunta a fost mic\u0103, cu hore jucate \u00een b\u0103t\u0103tura casei \u0219i cu miros de sarmale care plutea \u00een aer. Nu era bog\u0103\u021bia b\u0103tr\u00e2nului fermier, dar era dragoste adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar satul, care odinioar\u0103 o judecase, acum \u00eei privea povestea ca pe o minune. Dintr-o copil\u0103 v\u00e2ndut\u0103, devenise o femeie puternic\u0103, capabil\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i croiasc\u0103 singur\u0103 destinul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finalul nu fusese cel dorit de b\u0103tr\u00e2nul fermier, dar pentru ea fusese cel mai mare dar: libertatea de a tr\u0103i dup\u0103 voia inimii \u0219i dup\u0103 obiceiurile simple \u0219i curate ale neamului rom\u00e2nesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
