Hora\u021biu a \u00eencremenit. Picioarele i s-au t\u0103iat ca \u0219i cum p\u0103m\u00e2ntul i-ar fi fugit de sub el. Lia sim\u021bea cum \u00eei bate inima \u00een urechi, ca o tob\u0103 spart\u0103. Nici v\u00e2ntul, nici p\u0103durea nu puteau s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un asemenea sunet. Era o voce omeneasc\u0103. O voce\u2026 prea cunoscut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au mai f\u0103cut un pas, apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul. Frunzele ude trosneau sub bocancii lor, iar aerul rece le t\u0103ia obrajii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu poate fi\u2026 \u0219opti Hora\u021biu, abia respir\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar era. Vocea repeta, slab, cu pauze lungi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine\u2026 e\u2026 acolo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd au ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba cabanei, u\u0219a veche at\u00e2rna \u00eentr-o balama ruginit\u0103. Lia a ridicat \u00eencet m\u00e2na \u0219i a \u00eempins-o. Un sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it prelung a spart lini\u0219tea, iar \u00een\u0103untru era \u00eentuneric, doar o dung\u0103 sub\u021bire de lumin\u0103 p\u0103trundea printr-o cr\u0103p\u0103tur\u0103 din acoperi\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe un pat improvizat, acoperit\u0103 cu p\u0103turi vechi \u00eempletite, st\u0103tea o femeie zb\u00e2rcit\u0103, slab\u0103 c\u00e2t un fir de a\u021b\u0103, dar vie. Ochii ei tulburi s-au ridicat spre siluetele din u\u0219\u0103. \u0218i atunci Lia a sim\u021bit cum i se opre\u0219te respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana\u2026? a rostit, nevenindu-i s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na a mi\u0219cat capul, \u00eencet, iar c\u00e2nd privirea ei s-a fixat pe fiul ei, un tremur i-a str\u0103b\u0103tut trupul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hora\u021biu\u2026 ai venit\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea ei era doar o suflare, un firicel sub\u021bire care p\u0103rea c\u0103 se poate rupe oric\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hora\u021biu s-a prins de marginea u\u0219ii, de parc\u0103 lumea se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea cu el. N-a putut rosti nimic. Lia, \u00een schimb, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte \u0219i a sim\u021bit un nod str\u00e2ns \u00een g\u00e2t. Faptul c\u0103 femeia tr\u0103ise opt ani acolo dep\u0103\u0219ea orice imagina\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum\u2026 cum ai supravie\u021buit? \u00eentreb\u0103 ea, cu glasul tremurat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dumnezeu\u2026 \u0219i p\u0103durea\u2026 copiii muntelui\u2026 Nu m-au l\u0103sat s\u0103 mor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abia atunci Lia a observat, \u00een col\u021bul \u00eenc\u0103perii, c\u00e2teva lemne t\u0103iate, o sticlu\u021b\u0103 cu tinctur\u0103, ni\u0219te borcane cu mure \u0219i ciuperci uscate. Cineva \u00eei adusese lucruri. Cineva avusese grij\u0103 de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine\u2026 cine a fost aici cu tine? \u00eentreb\u0103 Lia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana a ridicat m\u00e2na \u0219i a ar\u0103tat spre fereastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Oamenii de sus\u2026 ei \u0219tiu. M-au g\u0103sit. M-au \u021binut \u00een via\u021b\u0103. Mi-au spus c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi\u2026 o s\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eentoarce\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirile celor doi s-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit \u0219i am\u00e2ndoi au sim\u021bit cum \u00eei trece un fior rece prin spinare. P\u0103durarii. Ciobanii. Cei care tr\u0103iau \u00een poienile din v\u00e2rful muntelui. Oameni retra\u0219i, dar cu suflet, care nu l\u0103sau pe nimeni \u00een voia sor\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hora\u021biu a c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 iart\u0103-m\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana l-a privit lung, cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be care t\u0103ia mai ad\u00e2nc dec\u00e2t orice repro\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Scoal\u0103-te, dragul meu. Dac\u0103 n-ai iubi\u2026 n-ai suferi. \u0218i dac\u0103 n-ai suferi\u2026 n-ai fi venit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lia a sim\u021bit cum lacrimile \u00eei curg pe obraji. Ani la r\u00e2nd tr\u0103ise cu teama c\u0103 vina lor avea s\u0103-i urm\u0103reasc\u0103 toat\u0103 via\u021ba. Acum, privind la b\u0103tr\u00e2na firav\u0103, sim\u021bea pentru prima oar\u0103 o u\u0219urare ap\u0103s\u0103toare, ca dup\u0103 o furtun\u0103 grea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Haide\u021bi\u2026 lua\u021bi-m\u0103 acas\u0103\u2026 vreau s\u0103-mi v\u0103d iar satul\u2026, \u0219opti Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hora\u021biu s-a repezit s\u0103 o ridice, dar b\u0103tr\u00e2na l-a oprit cu o atingere u\u0219oar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cencet. Nu-mi mai pot gr\u0103bi pa\u0219ii. Dar vreau\u2026 s\u0103 merg pe picioarele mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au ie\u0219it \u00eempreun\u0103 din caban\u0103. V\u00e2ntul rece le lovea fe\u021bele, dar p\u0103rea altfel. Parc\u0103 muntele respira odat\u0103 cu ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd au ajuns la ma\u0219in\u0103, \u00een poian\u0103 ap\u0103reau dou\u0103 siluete \u00eenalte, cu cojoace lungi \u0219i c\u0103ciuli negre. P\u0103durarii. St\u0103tuser\u0103 de paz\u0103 din umbr\u0103, urm\u0103rind totul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 V-a\u021bi \u00eentors, spuse unul dintre ei, cu glas grav. E bine. Acum duce\u021bi-o acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hora\u021biu le-a mul\u021bumit, ru\u0219inat, iar ei au dat din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eentrebe nimic. Era clar c\u0103 \u0219tiau mai multe dec\u00e2t voiau s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drumul spre sat a fost t\u0103cut. Ana privea pe geam, fiecare copac, fiecare st\u00e2nc\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost pentru prima oar\u0103. C\u00e2nd au intrat \u00een sat, oamenii au ie\u0219it \u00een pragurile caselor, r\u0103m\u00e2n\u00e2nd \u00eencremeni\u021bi ca \u00een fa\u021ba unei apari\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamne\u2026 e Ana Le\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tr\u0103ie\u0219te\u2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 ne ierte Dumnezeu\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unii pl\u00e2ngeau. Al\u021bii \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103ceau cruce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lia a sim\u021bit cum un nod mare i se a\u0219az\u0103 \u00een piept. Apoi b\u0103tr\u00e2na a spus, \u00eencet, dar limpede:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am murit pentru c\u0103 Dumnezeu m-a p\u0103zit. Dar voi\u2026 ave\u021bi grij\u0103 de b\u0103tr\u00e2nii vo\u0219tri. C\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 ei, satul r\u0103m\u00e2ne pustiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, Hora\u021biu a mers la prim\u0103rie \u0219i a trecut casa pe numele mamei lui, a\u0219a cum fusese de la \u00eenceput. A v\u00e2ndut terenul la care veniser\u0103 pentru acte \u0219i banii i-a folosit s\u0103 repare cabana \u0219i s\u0103 cumpere tot ce avea nevoie Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar \u00een fiecare sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd v\u00e2ntul b\u0103tea u\u0219or prin cr\u0103p\u0103tura ferestrei, vocea b\u0103tr\u00e2nei nu mai era o umbr\u0103 din trecut, ci o binecuv\u00e2ntare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hora\u021biu\u2026 e noapte. Trage bine geamul, c\u0103 r\u0103ce\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 opt ani, el a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
