Drumul spre satul copil\u0103riei era lung \u0219i plin de amintiri. Cu fiecare kilometru parcurs, zgomotul ora\u0219ului r\u0103m\u00e2nea tot mai departe, iar lini\u0219tea c\u00e2mpurilor \u00eei amintea de zilele c\u00e2nd alerga descul\u021b prin iarba ud\u0103, cu mama strig\u00e2ndu-l de la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce se apropia, ploaia \u00eencepu s\u0103 cad\u0103 m\u0103runt, sp\u0103l\u00e2nd parbrizul \u0219i g\u00e2ndurile care-l ap\u0103sau. \u00ce\u0219i imagina cum o s\u0103-i \u00eent\u00e2mpine p\u0103rin\u021bii, poate la poart\u0103, cu z\u00e2mbetul acela sincer care nu se poate cump\u0103ra cu bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar c\u00e2nd intr\u0103 \u00een sat, ceva i se str\u00e2nse \u00een piept. Str\u0103zile erau noroioase, casele d\u0103r\u0103p\u0103nate, iar oamenii \u00eel priveau uimi\u021bi c\u00e2nd trecea cu ma\u0219ina luxoas\u0103 printre ei. C\u00e2nd ajunse \u00een dreptul cur\u021bii unde ar fi trebuit s\u0103 fie \u201ecea mai frumoas\u0103 cas\u0103 din sat\u201d, r\u0103mase f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba lui, pe o strad\u0103 desfundat\u0103, se ridica o cocioab\u0103 veche, cu acoperi\u0219ul l\u0103sat \u0219i pere\u021bii plini de mucegai. Pe b\u0103ncu\u021ba din fa\u021b\u0103, sub o umbrel\u0103 rupt\u0103, st\u0103teau doi b\u0103tr\u00e2ni \u2014 mama \u0219i tat\u0103l lui.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sebastian opri motorul \u0219i cobor\u00ee \u00een t\u0103cere. Cizmele i se afundar\u0103 \u00een noroi. C\u00e2nd mama lui \u00eel z\u0103ri, ochii i se umplur\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
