\u00cen fa\u021ba ei, printre straturile de p\u0103m\u00e2nt proasp\u0103t surpat, se z\u0103rea un os alb, mare. La \u00eenceput a crezut c\u0103 e un animal, dar c\u00e2nd a privit mai atent, a v\u0103zut clar forma unui craniu uman.<\/p>\n
Inima i-a \u00eenceput s\u0103 bat\u0103 nebune\u0219te. \u201eDoamne, fere\u0219te-m\u0103!\u201d, a \u0219optit, tremur\u00e2nd din tot corpul. \u00cencerca s\u0103 nu priveasc\u0103, dar privirea \u00eei era atras\u0103 de orbitele goale care p\u0103reau s\u0103 se uite direct la ea.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, dar p\u0103m\u00e2ntul s-a surpat din nou. A c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi \u0219i \u0219i-a zg\u00e2riat m\u00e2inile. A sim\u021bit cum \u00eei intr\u0103 frigul \u00een oase. C\u00e2teva clipe mai t\u00e2rziu, a auzit un trosnet slab. A privit \u00een jur \u2014 o parte din groap\u0103 se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea \u00eencet, dezv\u0103luind mai multe oase.<\/p>\n
Femeia a sim\u021bit c\u0103 o ia cu le\u0219inul. \u201eAici… cineva a fost \u00eengropat…\u201d, \u0219i-a zis, abia \u0219optind. A \u00eenceput s\u0103-\u0219i fac\u0103 semnul crucii, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Totu\u0219i, instinctul de supravie\u021buire a fost mai puternic dec\u00e2t frica. S-a sprijinit \u00een coate \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 sape cu m\u00e2inile, c\u0103ut\u00e2nd o ie\u0219ire, o r\u0103d\u0103cin\u0103 mai solid\u0103, ceva de care s\u0103 se prind\u0103. Unghiile i s-au umplut de p\u0103m\u00e2nt, palmele i s-au zg\u00e2riat, dar nu s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 minute lungi, i s-a p\u0103rut c\u0103 aude un sunet \u2014 un trosnet de crengi, pa\u0219i u\u0219ori. A strigat c\u00e2t a putut: \u201eAjutor! E cineva acolo?\u201d. Lini\u0219te. A mai strigat o dat\u0103, mai tare. Din ad\u00e2ncul p\u0103durii s-a auzit un r\u0103spuns slab: \u201eCine-i acolo?\u201d.<\/p>\n
Era un b\u0103rbat, probabil un culeg\u0103tor de ciuperci ca \u0219i ea. Femeia \u0219i-a adunat puterile \u0219i a strigat din nou: \u201eSunt aici! \u00cen groap\u0103!\u201d.<\/p>\n
Pa\u0219ii s-au apropiat. \u00cen scurt timp, o siluet\u0103 s-a ivit deasupra gropii. Un b\u0103rbat de vreo cincizeci de ani, cu o \u0219apc\u0103 ponosit\u0103 \u0219i o g\u0103leat\u0103 \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, s-a uitat \u00een jos \u0219i a \u00eenlemnit: \u201eDoamne, femeie, ce faci acolo?!\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm c\u0103zut… nu pot ie\u0219i\u201d, a r\u0103spuns ea cu glas stins.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a l\u0103sat repede g\u0103leata jos, a \u00eentins o creang\u0103 lung\u0103 \u0219i i-a spus: \u201e\u021aine-te bine!\u201d. Femeia s-a ag\u0103\u021bat cu toat\u0103 puterea. Cu greu, dar pas cu pas, a fost tras\u0103 afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ie\u0219it, era murdar\u0103 din cap p\u00e2n\u0103-n picioare, dar vie. A c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. B\u0103rbatul s-a uitat \u00een groap\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eencremenit: printre straturile de p\u0103m\u00e2nt se vedeau oasele unui om.<\/p>\n
\u201eTrebuie s\u0103 anun\u021b\u0103m poli\u021bia\u201d, a zis el grav.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, satul \u00eentreg vorbea despre groapa din p\u0103dure. Poli\u021bi\u0219tii au venit, au cercetat locul, au spus c\u0103 acolo fusese o groap\u0103 veche, probabil o ascunz\u0103toare din vremea r\u0103zboiului. R\u0103m\u0103\u0219i\u021bele umane urmau s\u0103 fie duse la ora\u0219 pentru identificare.<\/p>\n
Femeia, \u00eens\u0103, nu \u0219i-a mai putut lua g\u00e2ndul de la privirea goal\u0103 a craniului. Zile \u00eentregi n-a mai dormit bine. Mergea la biseric\u0103, aprindea lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u0219i se ruga pentru sufletul necunoscutului de sub p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, a aflat c\u0103 r\u0103m\u0103\u0219i\u021bele apar\u021bineau unui soldat disp\u0103rut \u00een timpul r\u0103zboiului, g\u0103sit \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor de ea dup\u0103 at\u00e2\u021bia ani.<\/p>\n
Atunci a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nimic nu e \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor. \u00centr-o zi obi\u0219nuit\u0103, \u00een timp ce c\u0103uta ciuperci ca s\u0103 aib\u0103 ce pune pe mas\u0103, descoperise un om care a fost uitat de lume.<\/p>\n
A mers din nou \u00een p\u0103dure, la marginea gropii astupate, a pus acolo un buchet de flori \u0219i a spus \u00eencet: \u201eOdihne\u0219te-te \u00een pace, suflete bun…\u201d.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u0219i-a f\u0103cut cruce \u0219i a plecat \u00eencet, cu co\u0219ul gol, dar cu sufletul mai u\u0219or. Pentru c\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama, d\u0103duse lini\u0219te unui mort \u0219i sens propriei vie\u021bi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
