Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce m\u00e2inile ei se mi\u0219cau u\u0219or, pielea lui tres\u0103rea la fiecare atingere.
Nu de durere, ci de ceva ce niciunul dintre ei nu mai sim\u021bise de mult: \u00eencredere.
\u00cen aer plutea o t\u0103cere grea, spart\u0103 doar de pic\u0103turile care loveau gresia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103.
\u2014 Mariela, r\u0103spunse ea cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.
\u2014 De unde e\u0219ti, Mariela?
\u2014 Din satul Sf\u00e2ntul Mihail, domnule.<\/p>\n
El n-a mai zis nimic. Doar a oftat ad\u00e2nc, ca \u0219i cum numele satului i-ar fi atins o ran\u0103 veche.
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva clipe, vocea lui s-a \u00eenmuiat.
\u2014 Po\u021bi pleca acum.<\/p>\n
Mariela a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, s-a \u00eenclinat u\u0219or \u0219i a ie\u0219it din camer\u0103 cu inima c\u00e2t un purice.
Nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103 se team\u0103 sau s\u0103 se roage pentru el.<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut una dup\u0103 alta, iar rutina s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eentre ei ca un v\u0103l sub\u021bire.
Diminea\u021ba, ea intra \u00een camera lui, t\u0103cut\u0103, \u0219i-i preg\u0103tea baia.
Nu vorbeau mult, dar privirile lor \u00eencepeau s\u0103 se caute f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama.
El, mereu rece, mereu distant, o privea uneori \u00een oglind\u0103.
Ea se pref\u0103cea c\u0103 nu vede, dar obrajii i se aprindeau.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 ploioas\u0103, c\u00e2nd tunetele zguduiau zidurile conacului, Mariela a intrat gr\u0103bit\u0103 cu un prosop \u00een bra\u021be.
L-a g\u0103sit pr\u0103bu\u0219it l\u00e2ng\u0103 scaunul cu rotile.
F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ezite, l-a ridicat cum a putut \u0219i l-a sprijinit de pat.
Atunci i-a v\u0103zut lacrimile.
Prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u0103-m\u0103, murmur\u0103 el. Nu merit ajutorul t\u0103u.
\u2014 To\u021bi merit\u0103m, \u0219opti ea. Doar c\u0103 unii uit\u0103 cum e s\u0103 fie ierta\u021bi.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a \u00eentors capul, ru\u0219inat.
Cicatricile de pe fa\u021b\u0103 p\u0103reau mai ad\u00e2nci, dar \u00een ochii lui se aprinsese o sc\u00e2nteie \u2014 via\u021b\u0103.
Pentru prima oar\u0103, o privi drept.
\u2014 M-ai fi ur\u00e2t dac\u0103 \u021bi-a\u0219 fi spus ce am fost?
\u2014 Nu pot ur\u00ee pe cineva care sufer\u0103, r\u0103spunse ea simplu.<\/p>\n
Atunci, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama, i-a prins m\u00e2na.
Era rece ca piatra, dar nu a dat drumul.
\u00centre degetele lor s-a n\u0103scut o lini\u0219te diferit\u0103 \u2014 una care vindec\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele ce au urmat, el a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.
Pu\u021bin c\u00e2te pu\u021bin, i-a spus tot: despre accidentul \u00een care \u0219i-a pierdut so\u021bia \u0219i copilul, despre cum vinov\u0103\u021bia \u00eel \u021binea prizonier \u00eentre zidurile acelei case.
Mariela l-a ascultat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l judece.
Nu i-a spus niciun cuv\u00e2nt mare, dar fiecare gest al ei \u00eei sp\u0103la sufletul mai mult dec\u00e2t ar fi putut face vreo rug\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, el a cerut s\u0103 vad\u0103 r\u0103s\u0103ritul.
Ea i-a deschis larg ferestrele, iar lumina a umplut camera.
El a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima oar\u0103.
\u2014 Nu credeam c\u0103 mai pot sim\u021bi c\u0103ldura soarelui, a spus el.
\u2014 Soarele nu dispare, domnule. Doar uneori \u00eel acoper\u0103 norii, i-a r\u0103spuns ea.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, Mariela s-a trezit \u00eentr-o zi \u0219i a g\u0103sit un plic sub farfurie.
Era o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie pl\u0103tit\u0103 integral, cu un bilet scurt:
\u201eMul\u021bumesc c\u0103 m-ai sp\u0103lat nu doar pe trup, ci \u0219i pe suflet.\u201d<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it afar\u0103 \u0219i a privit cerul.
Ploua u\u0219or, dar \u00een inima ei str\u0103lucea o raz\u0103 puternic\u0103.
Pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021bea c\u0103 \u0219i ea s-a vindecat.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 uneori, Dumnezeu nu trimite doctori.
Trimite oameni simpli, cu m\u00e2ini calde \u0219i suflete curate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
