P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd, \u00eentr-o zi, cei trei au plecat din sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a plecat primul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi Radu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i la urm\u0103 Mihai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au promis c\u0103 se vor \u00eentoarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au promis c\u0103 vor scrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au promis c\u0103 nu o vor uita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar lunile au trecut\u2026 apoi anii\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0219i nimeni nu s-a mai \u00eentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scrisorile au \u00eencetat s\u0103 mai vin\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telefoanele au devenit din ce \u00een ce mai rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar \u00een sat au \u00eenceput din nou \u0219oaptele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vezi? A\u0219a am spus de la \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Au l\u0103sat-o singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103raca Maria\u2026 a crescut trei b\u0103rba\u021bi degeaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria tr\u0103ia \u00een continuare \u00een aceea\u0219i cas\u0103 veche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucr\u00e2nd la ma\u0219ina ei de cusut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, mul\u021bi ani mai t\u00e2rziu\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ceva a ap\u0103rut \u00een fa\u021ba por\u021bii ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ceva la care nimeni din sat nu se a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i care avea s\u0103-i schimbe destinul pentru totdeauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen diminea\u021ba aceea, Maria s-a trezit ca de obicei \u00eenainte s\u0103 se lumineze bine de ziu\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casa era lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doar tic\u0103itul ceasului vechi de pe perete se auzea \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria mic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a f\u0103cut o can\u0103 de cafea la ibric \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103. Afar\u0103 era r\u0103coare, iar peste sat plutea o cea\u021b\u0103 sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a oftat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anii trecuser\u0103 peste ea f\u0103r\u0103 mil\u0103. P\u0103rul \u00eei albise, iar m\u00e2inile \u00eei erau aspre de la at\u00e2ta cusut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar se obi\u0219nuise cu lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori, seara, se mai g\u00e2ndea la b\u0103ie\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La r\u00e2setele lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La g\u0103l\u0103gia din cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar via\u021ba mergea mai departe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd a ie\u0219it s\u0103 deschid\u0103 poarta, s-a oprit brusc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba casei era parcat\u0103 o ma\u0219in\u0103 mare, neagr\u0103, cum nu se mai v\u0103zuse prin sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nou\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vecina de peste drum st\u0103tea deja la poart\u0103 \u0219i se uita cu ochii mari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103i Marie\u2026 ai v\u0103zut? a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a cl\u0103tinat u\u0219or din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U\u0219a ma\u0219inii s-a deschis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din ea a cobor\u00e2t un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi altul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inima a \u00eenceput s\u0103-i bat\u0103 cu putere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primul b\u0103rbat a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 diminea\u021ba, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era Andrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mai \u00eenalt, mai matur, dar era el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, ca \u0219i cum nu i-ar fi venit s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Andrei\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al doilea b\u0103rbat s-a apropiat \u0219i el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ne-ai lipsit, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu ochelari \u0219i o geant\u0103 de piele sub bra\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria sim\u021bea c\u0103 \u00eei tremur\u0103 picioarele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar c\u00e2nd l-a v\u0103zut pe al treilea cobor\u00e2nd din ma\u0219in\u0103, lacrimile i-au umplut ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mihai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen halat alb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am venit acas\u0103, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vecinii \u00eencepeau deja s\u0103 se adune pe uli\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218oapte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Priviri curioase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a deschis portbagajul \u0219i a scos un dosar gros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tim c\u0103 a trecut mult timp\u2026 a spus el \u00eencet. Dar nicio zi nu am uitat ce ai f\u0103cut pentru noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a ad\u0103ugat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am muncit ani \u00eentregi pentru momentul \u0103sta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria nu reu\u0219ea s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mihai a luat-o u\u0219or de bra\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai cu noi p\u00e2n\u0103 la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba casei, pe terenul gol de l\u00e2ng\u0103 gard, st\u0103tea acum o pancart\u0103 mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a clipit, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 citeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe ea scria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
