Mi-am lipit spatele de u\u0219\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi \u021bin respira\u021bia. Lia tremura l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, iar lacrimile \u00eei curgeau \u00een lini\u0219te, ca \u0219i cum se temea c\u0103 \u0219i pl\u00e2nsul ar putea declan\u0219a ceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu aveam timp s\u0103 m\u0103 pr\u0103bu\u0219esc. Nu aveam timp s\u0103 pun \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Tot ce sim\u021beam era o presiune \u00een piept, ca \u0219i cum cineva b\u0103gase toat\u0103 casa \u00eentr-o menghin\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVino la mine\u201d, i-am \u0219optit \u0219i am tras-o \u00een bra\u021be. O sim\u021beam at\u00e2t de mic\u0103, at\u00e2t de fragil\u0103, \u0219i totu\u0219i ea fusese cea care m\u0103 trezise la realitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trebuia s\u0103 ie\u0219im. Oricum, oric\u00e2nd, cumva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eencercat u\u0219a \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103, dar z\u0103vorul era blocat ca \u0219i cum cineva \u00eel \u021binea cu m\u00e2na pe partea cealalt\u0103. Sistemul de alarm\u0103 continua s\u0103 p\u00e2lp\u00e2ie ro\u0219u, cu o lini\u0219te amenin\u021b\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMami, dac\u0103\u2026 dac\u0103 vine cineva?\u201d a \u00eentrebat Lia, cu buza tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu vine nimeni\u201d, am spus, dar vocea nu-mi asculta mintea. \u201eNu l\u0103s\u0103m pe nimeni s\u0103 ne fac\u0103 r\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primul lucru care mi-a venit \u00een minte a fost telefonul. M-am repezit spre po\u0219et\u0103, dar ecranul era negru \u2013 f\u0103r\u0103 semnal. Nu lips\u0103 de baterie. Lips\u0103 de re\u021bea. Cineva o t\u0103iase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Numele lui \u00eemi \u00een\u021bepa mintea ca o lovitur\u0103 rece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii o secund\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc limpede. Eram blocat\u0103 \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 din Ploie\u0219ti, f\u0103r\u0103 semnal, cu o alarm\u0103 activat\u0103 din exterior, cu un copil speriat \u0219i cu un so\u021b care, aparent, preg\u0103tise totul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTrebuie s\u0103 ie\u0219im pe geam,\u201d am spus \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lia a dat din cap, cu ochii mari. Nu a pus nicio \u00eentrebare. A avut \u00eencredere oarb\u0103 \u00een mine, ceea ce m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 simt o responsabilitate care m\u0103 dorea \u00een oase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am luat-o de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i am fugit \u00een sufragerie. Geamul mare spre curte era \u00eenchis, dar nu blocat. Am tras de m\u00e2ner \u2013 nimic. Am \u00eencercat din nou, for\u021b\u00e2nd cu toat\u0103 greutatea corpului. Tot blocat. Parc\u0103 for\u021ba din u\u0219\u0103 se mutase aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu se deschide\u2026\u201d am murmurat, cu un gust metalic \u00een gur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi am auzit-o. O vibra\u021bie joas\u0103, ca un motor care porne\u0219te. Din spatele casei. Lia s-a lipit de mine, speriat\u0103, iar inima mi-a \u00eenceput s\u0103 bat\u0103 at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t \u00eemi auzeam s\u00e2ngele \u00een urechi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai era timp de \u00eencercat geamuri. Trebuia s\u0103 g\u0103sesc o sl\u0103biciune. Orice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am fugit \u00een camera Liei. Geamul ei era mai mic, dar poate\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ridicat roleta \u0219i am tras cu toat\u0103 puterea. A cedat un centimetru. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul. Am sim\u021bit aer rece din curte. Era \u0219ansa noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u021aine-te str\u00e2ns de mine,\u201d i-am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar atunci, din spatele nostru, alarma a \u00eenceput s\u0103 urle \u2013 nu un simplu bip, ci un sunet ascu\u021bit, sf\u00e2\u0219ietor, ca un avertisment final. Casa vibra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lia a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu te speria,\u201d i-am repetat, cu vocea ridicat\u0103 peste zgomot. \u201eNe descurc\u0103m noi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am tras geamul c\u00e2t am putut. Abia reu\u0219eam s\u0103 fac loc de un um\u0103r. Am scos grilajul interior \u2013 pe jum\u0103tate rupt, semn c\u0103 nu fusese montat bine \u2013 \u0219i am \u00eempins-o pe Lia pe exterior, \u021bin\u00e2nd-o de picioare p\u00e2n\u0103 a ie\u0219it complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMami, vino!\u201d striga ea din curte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am inspirat ad\u00e2nc. \u00cen spatele meu, alarma continua, iar vibra\u021bia de afar\u0103 devenea tot mai puternic\u0103. Ceva se apropia. Sau cineva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am ridicat pe v\u00e2rfuri, am \u00eempins tot corpul prin deschiz\u0103tura \u00eengust\u0103, sim\u021bind cum mi se zg\u00e2rie coastele de rama geamului. \u00cenc\u0103 pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi am c\u0103zut pe p\u0103m\u00e2ntul rece, l\u00e2ng\u0103 Lia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu am avut timp s\u0103-mi trag sufletul. Din spatele casei a pornit un fum gros, \u00eenchis la culoare, urmat de un trosnet violent. A fost suficient ca mintea mea s\u0103 fac\u0103 leg\u0103tura: ceva urma s\u0103 explodeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eFugim!\u201d i-am strigat Liei \u0219i am apucat-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am alergat spre poart\u0103, dar cheia era \u00eencuia gol \u00een broasc\u0103, pe interior. M-am uitat rapid \u00een jur \u0219i am z\u0103rit gardul lateral, mai scund, l\u00e2ng\u0103 butoiul pentru ap\u0103 pluvial\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAcolo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am urcat-o prima pe Lia, \u00eemping\u00e2nd-o peste bordur\u0103. A c\u0103zut \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103 pe partea cealalt\u0103, iar eu am s\u0103rit imediat dup\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen clipa \u00een care picioarele mele au atins asfaltul din strad\u0103, un bubuit puternic a rupt lini\u0219tea dimine\u021bii. Un val de aer cald ne-a izbit \u00een spate. Casa noastr\u0103\u2026 nu mai era lini\u0219tea pe care o \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era un pericol pe care nu-l vezi pe fa\u021ba omului cu care ai dormit ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lia s-a ag\u0103\u021bat de mine, cu lacrimile \u0219iroind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMami\u2026 tati a vrut s\u0103\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-am prins fa\u021ba \u00eentre palme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu mai conteaz\u0103 ce a vrut. Conteaz\u0103 c\u0103 noi suntem vii. \u0218i c\u0103 de acum \u00eenainte o s\u0103 fac orice s\u0103 te \u021bin \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am luat-o \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i am fugit pe strad\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 uit \u00eenapoi. Vecinii ie\u0219eau deja la por\u021bi, mira\u021bi de zgomot. Unii strigau dup\u0103 noi. Nimic nu mai conta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een mul\u021bi ani, sim\u021beam c\u0103 fac alegerea corect\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuga noastr\u0103 nu era la\u0219itate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era \u00eenceputul libert\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
