Andrei Dumitrescu a deschis ochii a doua oar\u0103 abia spre pr\u00e2nz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Febra \u00eei mai sc\u0103zuse. Se uita direct la Maria, de parc\u0103 \u00eencerca s\u0103-i citeasc\u0103 sufletul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu m-ai scos de sub cal? a \u00eentrebat el, cu vocea r\u0103gu\u0219it\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 nu f\u0103ceam nimic, murea\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rba\u021bii lui au schimbat priviri nelini\u0219tite. Unul dintre ei a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Boierule, trebuie s\u0103 plec\u0103m. Nu e loc sigur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei \u00eens\u0103 nu-\u0219i lua ochii de la femeia din fa\u021ba lui. I-a privit m\u00e2inile zdrelite, hainele ude, fetele speriate din spatele ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Maria Ionescu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 So\u021b?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u0103spuns scurt. F\u0103r\u0103 lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul dintre oamenii lui Andrei a observat cizmele rupte ale fetelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tr\u0103iesc a\u0219a? \u00een p\u0103dure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a sim\u021bit ru\u0219inea urc\u00e2ndu-i \u00een obraji, dar n-a plecat privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tr\u0103im cum putem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice. Durerea l-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 scr\u00e2\u0219neasc\u0103 din din\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Adu tr\u0103sura. \u0218i doctorul din sat, a poruncit el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi, c\u0103tre Maria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vii cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La mo\u0219ie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fetele s-au str\u00e2ns \u00een jurul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec. Se g\u00e2ndea la familia Popa. Dac\u0103 aflau? Dac\u0103 se r\u0103zbunau?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar ce alternativ\u0103 avea? \u00cenc\u0103 o noapte sub cerul gol?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au ajuns la Mo\u0219ia \u201eDealul Corbului\u201d \u00eenainte de apus. O cl\u0103dire mare, cu ziduri groase, curte larg\u0103, oameni care alergau \u00een toate p\u0103r\u021bile c\u00e2nd au v\u0103zut tr\u0103sura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vestea s-a dus ca focul: boierul fusese g\u0103sit r\u0103nit. Salvat de o v\u0103duv\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doctorul i-a pus piciorul \u00een ghips \u0219i a spus clar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 mai \u00eent\u00e2rzia o or\u0103, \u00eel pierdeam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a cerut s\u0103 fie adus\u0103 Maria \u00een biroul lui a doua zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centre timp, ea \u0219i fetele au fost duse \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 curat\u0103. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een luni de zile au dormit \u00eentr-un pat adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diminea\u021ba, Maria a intrat cu inima c\u00e2t un purice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei st\u0103tea la birou, sprijinit \u00een baston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu cine te-a alungat, a spus el f\u0103r\u0103 ocoli\u0219uri. Familia Popa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Au ar\u0103tat un testament fals, nu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ochii ei s-au m\u0103rit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De unde \u0219ti\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a z\u00e2mbit rece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 terenul pe care te-au dat afar\u0103 este, de fapt, \u00een arenda mea. \u0218i niciun act nu se schimb\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 \u0219tirea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Camera s-a f\u0103cut brusc prea mic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Asear\u0103 mergeam la ei. Am primit o scrisoare anonim\u0103 c\u0103 fac \u00eenv\u00e2rteli cu acte \u0219i p\u0103m\u00e2nturi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furtuna nu fusese \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drumul acela nu fusese \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce ve\u021bi face? a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei s-a ridicat cu greutate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce trebuie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dou\u0103 zile mai t\u00e2rziu, toat\u0103 lumea din sat era adunat\u0103 \u00een curtea familiei Popa. Andrei, sprijinit \u00een baston, cu doctorul \u0219i notarul l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au fost citite actele adev\u0103rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
H\u00e2rtia cu datorie era fals\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semn\u0103tura, copiat\u0103 prost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martorii, pl\u0103ti\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vasile Popa a albit la fa\u021b\u0103 c\u00e2nd jandarmii i-au pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria st\u0103tea \u00een spate, cu fetele l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Terenul \u0219i casa revin de drept Mariei Ionescu \u0219i copiilor ei, a spus notarul tare, s\u0103 aud\u0103 to\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un murmur a str\u0103b\u0103tut mul\u021bimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 luni de zile, Maria a sim\u021bit c\u0103 aerul nu mai doare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei s-a \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus c\u0103 puterea nu uit\u0103. Dar nici recuno\u0219tin\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, via\u021ba ei s-a schimbat \u00eencet, dar sigur. A primit \u00eenapoi casa. Mo\u0219ia i-a oferit un contract cinstit pentru p\u0103m\u00e2nt. 1.500 de lei pe lun\u0103 pentru administrarea livezii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fetele au \u00eenceput \u0219coala din sat, cu ghiozdane noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Maria st\u0103tea pe pragul casei ei, privind apusul. Ana r\u00e2dea. Ioana citea cu voce tare. Elena alerga dup\u0103 g\u0103ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a venit c\u0103lare, mai drept, mai puternic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-ai rec\u0103p\u0103tat ce era al t\u0103u, a spus el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria l-a privit lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu doar eu. \u0218i ele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen sat, oamenii \u00eenc\u0103 \u0219opteau despre noaptea furtunii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar pentru Maria, furtuna fusese \u00eenceputul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu sf\u00e2r\u0219itul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din noroi \u0219i ploaie, \u00ee\u0219i ridicase din nou via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar de data asta, nimeni nu mai putea s-o alunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
