Toma s-a \u00eentors \u00eencet. Nu era omul care s\u0103 se sperie u\u0219or. \u00cengropase sute de oameni, v\u0103zuse rude le\u0219inate, mame url\u00e2nd, ta\u021bi care nu scoteau un sunet. Dar sunetul acela\u2026 nu sem\u0103na cu nimic cunoscut.<\/p>\n
Venea dinspre morm\u00e2ntul proasp\u0103t.<\/p>\n
A p\u0103\u0219it \u00eencet, cu pa\u0219i grei, iar fiecare sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it al z\u0103pezii \u00eei b\u0103tea \u00een cap. S-a apropiat \u0219i a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
Din p\u0103m\u00e2nt se auzea clar.<\/p>\n
Bum.
Scr\u00e2\u0219net.
Un sunet \u00eenfundat, ca \u0219i cum cineva lovea din interior.<\/p>\n
Inima i-a luat-o razna.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu se poate\u2026\u201d, a \u0219optit el.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat \u00een jur. Cimitirul era gol. Lini\u0219te. Doar apusul ro\u0219iatic \u0219i crucile care aruncau umbre lungi.<\/p>\n
Sunetul s-a repetat. Mai tare.<\/p>\n
Atunci a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Femeia era vie.<\/p>\n
Toma a fugit spre magazie. M\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t cu greu a apucat lopata. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 sape ca un nebun, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la nimic. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul zbur\u0103 \u00een toate p\u0103r\u021bile.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, a dat de capacul sicriului.<\/p>\n
Din\u0103untru se auzea pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Un pl\u00e2ns \u00een\u0103bu\u0219it, disperat.<\/p>\n
A lovit cu lopata p\u00e2n\u0103 a reu\u0219it s\u0103 desprind\u0103 capacul. C\u00e2nd l-a deschis, femeia a tras aer \u00een piept ca un om scos din ap\u0103. Avea fa\u021ba vine\u021bie, buzele cr\u0103pate, unghiile rupte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajut\u0103-m\u0103\u2026 te rog\u2026 a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
Toma a scos-o afar\u0103, a \u00eenvelit-o \u00een haina lui \u0219i a dus-o \u00een magazie. Tremura toat\u0103. Nu de frig. De groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 El\u2026 el m-a f\u0103cut\u2026 a spus printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Abia mai t\u00e2rziu a aflat adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Interlopul voia s\u0103 scape de ea. \u0218tia prea multe. A pus medicul pl\u0103tit s\u0103 declare moartea. A organizat o \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare rapid\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 autopsie. F\u0103r\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Toma a sunat la poli\u021bie dintr-un telefon vechi. A spus doar at\u00e2t: \u201eE vie. \u0218i nu trebuie s\u0103 \u0219tie nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Femeia a disp\u0103rut \u00een acea noapte.<\/p>\n
Oficial, a murit.<\/p>\n
Neoficial, a fost mutat\u0103 \u00eentr-un alt ora\u0219 din Rom\u00e2nia, cu alt nume, al\u021bi bani, o via\u021b\u0103 nou\u0103. Se spune c\u0103 cineva i-a l\u0103sat o sum\u0103 mare, \u00een lei, suficient\u0103 c\u00e2t s\u0103 o ia de la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Interlopul n-a aflat niciodat\u0103 adev\u0103rul. Sau poate a aflat, dar era deja prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2teva luni dup\u0103 aceea, a fost arestat.<\/p>\n
Toma n-a mai fost acela\u0219i om. A continuat s\u0103 lucreze \u00een cimitir, dar nu mai r\u0103m\u00e2nea seara. Parc\u0103 l\u0103sase acolo o parte din suflet.<\/p>\n
Bunica spunea c\u0103, ani mai t\u00e2rziu, o femeie \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 simplu venea uneori la poarta cimitirului, l\u0103sa flori la o cruce f\u0103r\u0103 nume \u0219i pleca f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Iar Toma, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd o vedea, \u00ee\u0219i scotea c\u0103ciula \u0219i \u00eenchidea ochii.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u0219tia un lucru sigur:<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aceea, nu doar un om fusese salvat.
Ci \u0219i con\u0219tiin\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
