C\u00e2nd u\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00een urma lui Ernest, vila a r\u0103mas \u00eentr-o lini\u0219te \u0219i mai ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Doar Matei, a\u0219ezat pe covor, \u00ee\u0219i continua joaca f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i ridice ochii. C\u0103lin, \u0219oferul familiei, intr\u0103 \u00een camer\u0103 cu pas ap\u0103sat, obi\u0219nuit deja cu rutina de fiecare zi.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Hai, puiule, mergem un pic afar\u0103, spuse el \u0219optit, de parc\u0103 b\u0103iatul ar fi putut s\u0103-l aud\u0103.<\/p>\n
Matei nu reac\u021bion\u0103. Dar c\u00e2nd C\u0103lin \u00eei atinse u\u0219or um\u0103rul, ridic\u0103 privirea o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103. Apoi, \u00eencet, \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nse cuburile \u00eentr-o pung\u0103 \u0219i se l\u0103s\u0103 condus.<\/p>\n
\u00cen curte, aerul mirosea a iarb\u0103 proasp\u0103t tuns\u0103. Soarele se juca printre frunzele copacilor, iar umbrele se mi\u0219cau u\u0219or pe pavaj. C\u0103lin \u00eel urc\u0103 \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103, \u00eel asigur\u0103 \u00een scaun \u0219i porni \u00eencet spre poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea zi, \u00een loc s\u0103 mearg\u0103 pe drumul obi\u0219nuit spre p\u0103durea din apropiere, b\u0103rbatul hot\u0103r\u00ee s\u0103 o ia prin ora\u0219. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 Matei are nevoie s\u0103 vad\u0103 altceva, chiar dac\u0103 nu putea s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 tot ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpla \u00een jur.<\/p>\n
Ajunser\u0103 \u00een centrul Voluntariului, unde traficul era agitat, iar oamenii se gr\u0103beau \u00een toate direc\u021biile. C\u0103lin opri la semafor. Pe trotuar, sprijinit\u0103 de un st\u00e2lp, st\u0103tea o feti\u021b\u0103 zdren\u021buit\u0103, cu o saco\u0219\u0103 albastr\u0103 \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Avea p\u0103rul ciufulit, obrajii murdari \u0219i ochii negri, dar vii.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba ridic\u0103 o pancart\u0103 cartonat\u0103, scris\u0103 st\u00e2ngac: \u201eMi-e foame. V\u0103 rog.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matei se uita fix la ea.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een mult\u0103 vreme, privirea lui nu era pierdut\u0103. Era concentrat\u0103. Curioas\u0103. Aproape\u2026 vie.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin observ\u0103 asta \u0219i sim\u021bi cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.
\u2013 Ce-ai v\u0103zut, m\u0103i puiule? \u00eentreb\u0103 el, de\u0219i \u0219tia c\u0103 nu va primi r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
Dar Matei \u00ee\u0219i desprinse centura \u0219i \u00eentinse m\u00e2nu\u021ba spre geam. Ar\u0103ta spre feti\u021b\u0103, insistent, aproape tremur\u00e2nd. C\u0103lin nu-l mai v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103 at\u00e2t de agitat.<\/p>\n
Sim\u021bind c\u0103 ceva important se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103, trase pe dreapta \u0219i cobor\u00ee. O lu\u0103 pe Matei \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i se apropie de fata necunoscut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bun\u0103, fat\u0103 drag\u0103. Cum te cheam\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 el bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Maria, r\u0103spunse ea \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Matei \u00eentinse m\u00e2na spre ea. Maria \u00eel privi uimit\u0103, apoi \u00eei z\u00e2mbi. Un z\u00e2mbet mic, dar cald, care p\u0103rea s\u0103-i lumineze fa\u021ba murdar\u0103. B\u0103iatul \u00ee\u0219i mi\u0219c\u0103 buzele, f\u0103r\u0103 sunet, dar ceva se schimbase \u00een ochii lui. O sc\u00e2nteie. O tres\u0103rire.<\/p>\n
Maria se aplec\u0103 spre el \u0219i \u00eei atinse palma.
\u2013 E\u0219ti frumos, micu\u021bule, spuse ea cu o voce joas\u0103. Unde mergi?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin sim\u021bi un fior. Parc\u0103 Matei asculta<\/em>. Parc\u0103 \u00een\u021belegea altfel dec\u00e2t p\u00e2n\u0103 acum. Maria tres\u0103ri \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. C\u0103lin r\u0103mase stan\u0103 de piatr\u0103. Matei \u00ee\u0219i \u00eentinse bra\u021bele spre fat\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103 o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eze. A\u0219a ceva nu se \u00eent\u00e2mplase niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2013 Hai cu noi un pic, Maria. Cred c\u0103 ai f\u0103cut ceva\u2026 ce nici medicii nu au reu\u0219it, spuse C\u0103lin cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n Feti\u021ba accept\u0103, jenat\u0103, dar \u0219i curioas\u0103.<\/p>\n \u00cen ma\u0219in\u0103, Matei nu-\u0219i lua ochii de la ea. Maria \u00eei c\u00e2nta \u00eencet, lovind cu unghia marginile unei sticle goale pe ritmuri simple, ca un fel de muzic\u0103 improvizat\u0103. B\u0103iatul \u00ee\u0219i mi\u0219ca capul u\u0219or, ca \u0219i cum sim\u021burile lui, adormite at\u00e2\u021bia ani, \u00eencepeau s\u0103 se trezeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n C\u00e2nd ajunser\u0103 din nou la vil\u0103, Ernest tocmai ie\u0219ea pe trepte. V\u0103zu feti\u021ba \u0219i \u00eencrunt\u0103 spr\u00e2ncenele. \u0218oferul nu apuc\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103. Matei cobor\u00ee singur din ma\u0219in\u0103, se \u00eentoarse spre Maria \u0219i, cu o voce firav\u0103, dar clar\u0103, spuse:<\/p>\n \u2013 Ma\u2026 ria.<\/p>\n Un singur cuv\u00e2nt. Dar pentru Ernest a fost ca o explozie \u00een piept.<\/p>\n \u00cen ochii lui Matei nu mai era golul acela dureros. Era via\u021b\u0103. Era lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n Ernest \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103zu \u00een genunchi, cople\u0219it. \u0218i totul \u00eencepuse cu o feti\u021b\u0103 fl\u0103m\u00e2nd\u0103, necunoscut\u0103, venit\u0103 din lumea de jos. O copil\u0103 care nu avea nimic, dar care adusese cu ea tot ce lipsise \u00een vila aceea luxoas\u0103: un strop de umanitate.<\/p>\n Pentru prima dat\u0103, Ernest \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 vindecarea nu era \u00eentotdeauna \u00een bani, clinici sau speciali\u0219ti.<\/p>\n Uneori, ea venea din inim\u0103.

Apoi, improbabil, fantastic, copilul scoase un sunet scurt. Abia perceptibil. Un fel de morm\u0103it, dar un sunet. Primul.<\/p>\n
