Asistenta a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, sprijinindu-se de perete. Sim\u021bea cum genunchii \u00eei tremur\u0103, iar inima \u00eei b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te. Privirea i s-a oprit asupra pieptului b\u0103iatului, acolo unde pielea p\u0103rea s\u0103 se mi\u0219te… singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
A clipit de c\u00e2teva ori, convins\u0103 c\u0103 lumina o \u00een\u0219al\u0103. Dar nu. Sub pielea sub\u021bire \u0219i palid\u0103 se vedea clar ceva ce se mi\u0219ca \u00eencet, ca \u0219i cum ar fi respirat separat de el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Gheorghe! \u2014 a strigat ea c\u0103tre brancardierul care tocmai ie\u0219ise din baie. \u2014 Vino repede!<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a intrat \u00een grab\u0103, iar c\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpla, a r\u0103mas \u0219i el \u00eenlemnit. Pielea de pe pieptul t\u00e2n\u0103rului s-a ridicat u\u0219or, apoi s-a v\u0103zut o umfl\u0103tur\u0103 mic\u0103, care s-a mi\u0219cat spre um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Asistenta \u0219i-a acoperit gura cu m\u00e2na, aproape s\u0103 \u021bipe.
\u2014 Ce e asta? Dumnezeule…<\/p>\n
Brancardierul, mai st\u0103p\u00e2n pe sine, a chemat imediat medicul de gard\u0103. \u00cen c\u00e2teva minute, doctorul a intrat \u00een baie, cu privirea sever\u0103. S-a uitat atent la pacient, a atins locul cu o m\u0103nu\u0219\u0103 \u0219i a spus pe un ton calm, dar ferm:
\u2014 E o infec\u021bie grav\u0103… posibil un parazit subcutanat. Trebuie intervenit imediat.<\/p>\n
Asistenta a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte. Niciodat\u0103 nu mai v\u0103zuse a\u0219a ceva. \u00cen timp ce \u00eel transportau pe t\u00e2n\u0103r spre sala de proceduri, ea s-a trezit tremur\u00e2nd, rug\u00e2ndu-se \u00een g\u00e2nd pentru el.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva ore mai t\u00e2rziu, dup\u0103 interven\u021bie, medicul a ie\u0219it \u0219i i-a spus c\u0103 b\u0103iatul e \u00een afara oric\u0103rui pericol. A scos de sub piele o larv\u0103 care se dezvoltase acolo de luni de zile, f\u0103r\u0103 ca nimeni s\u0103 observe.<\/p>\n
Asistenta s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe un scaun, cople\u0219it\u0103 de emo\u021bie. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 telefonul ei nu mai conta. C\u0103 toate grijile, toate certurile, tot stresul de la munc\u0103 p\u0103leau \u00een fa\u021ba vie\u021bii unui om care fusese at\u00e2t de aproape de moarte.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, a venit zilnic s\u0103-l vad\u0103 pe t\u00e2n\u0103r. I-a adus fructe, i-a vorbit, i-a z\u00e2mbit. El, de\u0219i nu putea vorbi, \u00eei mul\u021bumea din priviri. \u00cencet-\u00eencet, chipul lui a \u00eenceput s\u0103 prind\u0103 culoare.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, mama b\u0103iatului a venit la spital. Cu lacrimi \u00een ochi, i-a str\u00e2ns asistentei m\u00e2inile \u0219i i-a spus:
\u2014 A\u021bi fost \u00eengerul lui p\u0103zitor. Dac\u0103 nu era\u021bi dumneavoastr\u0103, nu \u0219tiu ce s-ar fi \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
Asistenta a z\u00e2mbit timid, sim\u021bind un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. \u00cen clipa aceea, \u0219i-a promis c\u0103 nu va mai l\u0103sa niciodat\u0103 via\u021ba personal\u0103 s\u0103-i umbreasc\u0103 munca.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, doctorul-\u0219ef a chemat-o din nou \u00een birou. Ea a intrat cu teama c\u0103 va fi certat\u0103 din nou, dar b\u0103rbatul a ridicat privirea \u0219i i-a spus calm:
\u2014 Am auzit ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat. Ai dat dovad\u0103 de curaj \u0219i omenie. Reiei func\u021bia ta de asistent\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ochii ei s-au umplut de lacrimi.
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, domnule doctor…<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it din birou \u0219i s-a oprit pe coridor. Afar\u0103, prin geam, soarele lumina curtea spitalului. A inspirat ad\u00e2nc \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp.<\/p>\n
Uneori, via\u021ba ne pune la \u00eencercare nu ca s\u0103 ne doboare, ci ca s\u0103 ne arate cine suntem cu adev\u0103rat. Iar ea, \u00een acea zi, a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 a fi om \u00eenseamn\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t orice func\u021bie sau telefon. \u00censeamn\u0103 s\u0103 nu treci niciodat\u0103 nep\u0103s\u0103tor pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 suferin\u021ba altuia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
