U\u0219a a cedat cu un trosnet sec. Un miros greu, de umezeal\u0103 \u0219i lemn vechi, i-a izbit \u00een fa\u021b\u0103. Tania a str\u00e2ns copilul la piept, instinctiv, de parc\u0103 aerul din\u0103untru ar fi putut s\u0103-l r\u0103neasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b a intrat primul. A pip\u0103it peretele, a g\u0103sit \u00eentrerup\u0103torul. Nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-avem curent, \u2014 a spus scurt. \u2014 \u0218tiam asta.<\/p>\n
A aprins lanterna de la telefon. Lumina a scos la iveal\u0103 o camer\u0103 mic\u0103, cu pere\u021bi cr\u0103pa\u021bi, o mas\u0103 \u0219ubred\u0103 \u0219i un pat de fier, ruginit. Pe jos, urme vechi de pa\u0219i \u0219i paie \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici\u2026 \u2014 a \u00eenghi\u021bit Tania \u00een sec. \u2014 Aici o s\u0103 doarm\u0103 copilul?<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b n-a r\u0103spuns. A pus bagajele jos, a scos o p\u0103tur\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eentins-o pe pat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doar p\u00e2n\u0103 facem focul. O s\u0103 fie bine.<\/p>\n
A g\u0103sit soba \u00eentr-un col\u021b. Veche, dar \u00eentreag\u0103. A adunat lemnele l\u0103sate l\u00e2ng\u0103 perete, a scos chibriturile. A treia sc\u00e2nteie a prins.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd focul a trosnit, Tania a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u0103 nu mai tremur\u0103. S-a a\u0219ezat pe un scaun, cu copilul adormit \u00een bra\u021be. Privea flac\u0103ra, pierdut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-e fric\u0103, \u2014 a spus Ionu\u021b \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu de cas\u0103, \u2014 a r\u0103spuns ea. \u2014 De noi.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu, dar adev\u0103rat. Ionu\u021b s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een fa\u021ba ei. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een seara aia, i-a \u00eent\u00e2lnit privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am gre\u0219it, \u2014 a spus. \u2014 \u0218tiu. Am str\u00e2ns bani prost, am vorbit prost\u2026 dar n-am plecat degeaba. Doctorul a zis aer curat, lini\u0219te. Aici le avem.<\/p>\n
Tania a l\u0103sat capul \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-e team\u0103 s\u0103 nu te pierd. S\u0103 nu ne pierdem.<\/p>\n
Un zgomot a venit din spatele peretelui. Clar. Un pas. Apoi altul.<\/p>\n
Tania s-a \u00eencordat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ionu\u021b\u2026 nu-s \u0219oareci.<\/p>\n
El s-a ridicat \u00eencet. A luat lanterna, a deschis u\u0219a din spate. Lumina a alunecat peste o camer\u0103 mic\u0103, debaraua. \u0218i acolo, ghemuit\u0103 pe un sac de cartofi, st\u0103tea o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sub\u021bire, cu un batic vechi pe cap, cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u021bipa\u021bi\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit femeia. \u2014 N-am unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc.<\/p>\n
Tania a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine sunte\u021bi?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Leana<\/strong>, \u2014 a spus b\u0103tr\u00e2na. \u2014 Casa asta a fost a fratelui meu. A murit. Eu\u2026 mai stau din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n Ionu\u021b a oftat ad\u00e2nc. A stins lanterna.<\/p>\n \u2014 Sta\u021bi. E frig. Veni\u021bi la sob\u0103.<\/p>\n Leana a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Un pl\u00e2ns mic, stins, de om care n-a mai fost invitat nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n \u00cen noaptea aceea, au stat to\u021bi trei l\u00e2ng\u0103 foc. Tania i-a dat ceai cald. B\u0103tr\u00e2na le-a povestit despre sat, despre oameni, despre cum se tr\u0103ie\u0219te cu pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n Diminea\u021ba, viscolul se oprise. Soarele a intrat prin geamurile murdare.<\/p>\n Tania s-a uitat la copil, apoi la Ionu\u021b.<\/p>\n \u2014 R\u0103m\u00e2nem.<\/p>\n El a z\u00e2mbit, obosit, dar sincer.<\/p>\n Au cur\u0103\u021bat casa. Au b\u0103tut la por\u021bile vecinilor. Au primit lemne, lapte, un scutec, un z\u00e2mbet.<\/p>\n \u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Tania a sim\u021bit c\u0103 respir\u0103.<\/p>\n Nu pentru c\u0103 totul era bine.<\/p>\n Ci pentru c\u0103 nu mai era singur\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U\u0219a a cedat cu un trosnet sec.
