Cuvintele lui Andrei au r\u0103sunat \u00een aer, dar nimeni nu s-a mi\u0219cat. Calul lovea p\u0103m\u00e2ntul, nervos, apropiindu-se tot mai mult de groap\u0103. Elena tremura, dar nu de fric\u0103. Era un fel de certitudine care \u00eei urca din stomac spre g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e doar un cal\u201d, a spus ea rar. \u201eE al lui Mihai. \u0218i nu a gre\u0219it niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Preotul a privit c\u00e2nd la ea, c\u00e2nd la cal, apoi la fe\u021bele oamenilor. A oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u201eDeschide\u021bi sicriul\u201d, a spus \u00een cele din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei a protestat, dar dou\u0103 m\u00e2ini deja ridicau capacul. C\u00e2nd lemnul a fost dat la o parte, Elena a \u021bipat.<\/p>\n
Mihai\u2026 clipea.<\/p>\n
Un oftat ad\u00e2nc i-a umflat pieptul. Un sunet slab, dar viu.<\/p>\n
Lumea a amu\u021bit. Cineva a sc\u0103pat o lum\u00e2nare. Calul a nechezat puternic, apoi s-a lini\u0219tit, ca \u0219i cum \u0219i-ar fi \u00eendeplinit misiunea.<\/p>\n
\u201eTr\u0103ie\u0219te!\u201d a strigat cineva.<\/p>\n
Elena a s\u0103rit \u00een groap\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103. I-a prins m\u00e2na. Era rece, dar nu moart\u0103. Degetele lui s-au mi\u0219cat u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
Ambulan\u021ba a venit \u00een c\u00e2teva minute care au p\u0103rut o ve\u0219nicie. Medicii au spus c\u0103 Mihai intrase \u00eentr-o stare rar\u0103, un fel de com\u0103 profund\u0103. Fusese declarat mort prea devreme.<\/p>\n
Prea devreme\u2026 sau prea convenabil.<\/p>\n
La spital, Elena nu s-a dezlipit de patul lui. C\u00e2nd Mihai s-a trezit, primul lucru pe care l-a f\u0103cut a fost s\u0103 caute cu privirea.<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde e Andrei?\u201d a \u00eentrebat r\u0103gu\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Elena a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce \u00eentrebi?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a \u00eenghi\u021bit greu.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103\u2026 \u00eenainte s\u0103 cad, mi-a spus s\u0103 nu-mi fac griji. C\u0103 are el grij\u0103 de tot. De bani. De p\u0103m\u00e2nt.\u201d<\/p>\n
A doua zi, poli\u021bia a g\u0103sit adev\u0103rul. Andrei falsificase acte, \u00eencercase s\u0103 preia ferma, avea datorii mari, peste o sut\u0103 de mii de lei. Iar biletul g\u0103sit mai t\u00e2rziu cusut \u00een c\u0103ptu\u0219eala hainei lui Mihai spunea clar:<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 mi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva, nu a fost un accident. Ai grij\u0103 \u00een cine ai \u00eencredere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei a fost arestat. Ferma a r\u0103mas \u00een picioare. Mihai s-a recuperat \u00eencet, cu greu, dar viu.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd soarele r\u0103s\u0103rea peste c\u00e2mpuri, Mihai a ie\u0219it sprijinit de Elena. Calul st\u0103tea lini\u0219tit l\u00e2ng\u0103 gard.<\/p>\n
Mihai i-a pus m\u00e2na pe g\u00e2t, exact pe cicatrice.<\/p>\n
\u201eMi-ai salvat via\u021ba\u201d, a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi. Uneori, adev\u0103rul nu vine din vorbe. Vine \u00een galop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
