Instinctul a preluat controlul. Ani de experien\u021b\u0103, situa\u021bii limit\u0103, accidente v\u0103zute pe drum \u2014 toate s-au adunat \u00eentr-o lini\u0219te rece \u00een mintea lui Ion. Feti\u021ba era \u00een hipotermie grav\u0103. \u0218tia asta din prima secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu adormi, Maria\u2026 stai cu mine,\u201d murmura, de\u0219i ea nu mai reac\u021biona.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a benzin\u0103riei era \u00eencuiat\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 ezitare, Corbul a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate \u0219i a lovit cu piciorul l\u00e2ng\u0103 broasc\u0103. Geamul s-a spart. Avea s\u0103 pl\u0103teasc\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu. Acum conta doar copilul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era pu\u021bin mai cald. A a\u0219ezat-o pe tejghea cu o grij\u0103 care contrasta cu m\u00e2inile lui mari, b\u0103t\u0103torite. I-a scos \u00eenc\u0103l\u021b\u0103mintea \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103, blugii uzi. A g\u0103sit p\u0103turi termoizolante, pachete cu \u00eenc\u0103lzitoare de m\u00e2ini, pe care le-a activat cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat pe podea, l\u00e2ng\u0103 calorifer, \u0219i a tras-o pe genunchii lui. \u0218i-a scos vesta grea de piele \u0219i a \u00eenvelit-o cu ea, apoi cu foliile lucioase.<\/p>\n
A devenit sob\u0103 pentru ea.<\/p>\n
\u201eHai, m\u0103mico\u2026 nu pleca. Mai stai pu\u021bin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minutele se scurgeau greu. Maria murmura incoerent. Spunea c\u0103 mama ei e \u201esus, \u00een stele\u201d. C\u0103 acas\u0103 era frig. C\u0103 nimeni nu mai venea.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce erai afar\u0103, Maria?\u201d a \u00eentrebat el, \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Buzi\u021bele ei s-au mi\u0219cat.
\n\u201eMama\u2026 a adormit. Mult. Am ie\u0219it\u2026 s\u0103 caut ajutor\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Ion a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul. A \u00een\u021beles f\u0103r\u0103 alte explica\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 aproape o or\u0103, tremuratul s-a domolit. Respira\u021bia i s-a mai lini\u0219tit. C\u00e2nd a auzit \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it sirenele salv\u0103rii, Ion a l\u0103sat capul pe perete \u0219i a respirat ad\u00e2nc pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
La spital, medicii au spus clar: dac\u0103 mai st\u0103tea zece minute \u00een z\u0103pad\u0103, nu ar mai fi fost nimic de f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, autorit\u0103\u021bile au confirmat: mama Mariei murise \u00een cas\u0103, cu zile \u00eenainte. Feti\u021ba r\u0103m\u0103sese singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Povestea a ap\u0103rut la \u0219tiri. Un motociclist dur, cu barb\u0103 \u0219i jachet\u0103 de piele, salvase o copil\u0103 din viscol. Dar Ion nu s-a recunoscut \u00een titluri.<\/p>\n
El \u0219tia doar un lucru: \u00een noaptea aceea, o rug\u0103ciune nu fusese ignorat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Maria nu mai dormea \u00een spital. Dormea \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 mic\u0103, cald\u0103, cu juc\u0103rii simple. \u00centr-un apartament unde mirosea a ceai \u0219i a m\u00e2ncare g\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ion nu devenise tat\u0103 peste noapte. Dar devenise \u201eacas\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een fiecare Ajun de Cr\u0103ciun, c\u00e2nd afar\u0103 \u00eencepea s\u0103 ning\u0103, Maria se apropia de el \u0219i \u00eei spunea, cu un z\u00e2mbet mic:<\/p>\n
