Elena nu \u0219i-a f\u0103cut cruce.<\/p>\n
Nu s-a speriat.<\/p>\n
A \u00eempins banii mai aproape de nea Vasile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Face\u021bi actele.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a mai oftat o dat\u0103, lung, apoi a str\u00e2ns bancnotele. Le-a num\u0103rat, de\u0219i \u0219tia bine c\u00e2t sunt.<\/p>\n
O or\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, Elena urca dealul cu o cheie ruginit\u0103 \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fiecare pas era un efort. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul cr\u0103pat sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ia sub t\u0103lpile ei. V\u00e2ntul sufla uscat, t\u0103ios.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns sus, a v\u0103zut casa.<\/p>\n
Mic\u0103. Str\u00e2mb\u0103. Cu acoperi\u0219ul l\u0103sat \u00eentr-o parte \u0219i geamuri f\u0103r\u0103 sticl\u0103. U\u0219a at\u00e2rna \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 balama.<\/p>\n
Nu era cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era un sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Elena a \u00eempins u\u0219a. Lemnul a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it lung, ca un oftat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru mirosea a praf \u0219i a p\u0103m\u00e2nt umed. O sob\u0103 veche \u00eentr-un col\u021b. O mas\u0103 rupt\u0103. Un pat de fier f\u0103r\u0103 saltea.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis u\u0219a \u00een urma ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici, a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu a sim\u021bit mil\u0103. Nici ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Doar lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, a f\u0103cut pu\u021bin c\u00e2te pu\u021bin. A m\u0103turat. A scos cioburile. A astupat g\u0103uri cu c\u00e2rpe vechi. A cerut de la vecini o saltea uzat\u0103 \u0219i o p\u0103tur\u0103 groas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Oamenii o priveau de jos, din sat.<\/p>\n
Unii cl\u0103tinau din cap.<\/p>\n
Al\u021bii \u0219u\u0219oteau c\u0103 \u201enebuna de pe deal\u201d \u0219i-a g\u0103sit locul.<\/p>\n
Dar Elena, cu fiecare col\u021b cur\u0103\u021bat, sim\u021bea ceva ciudat.<\/p>\n
Respira pu\u021bin mai ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
Noaptea, c\u00e2nd v\u00e2ntul b\u0103tea, casa nu mai p\u0103rea amenin\u021b\u0103toare. Doar veche.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, s-a trezit f\u0103r\u0103 durerea aceea sf\u00e2\u0219ietoare din piept.<\/p>\n
A stat nemi\u0219cat\u0103, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd s\u0103 revin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu a revenit.<\/p>\n
A pus asta pe seama unei zile mai bune. Un cadou \u00eenainte de sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Dar zilele bune au continuat.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenceput s\u0103 ias\u0103 afar\u0103. S\u0103 stea la soare. S\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 singur\u0103 cu p\u0103m\u00e2ntul. A cur\u0103\u021bat o bucat\u0103 mic\u0103 de gr\u0103din\u0103 \u0219i a aruncat c\u00e2teva semin\u021be de ceap\u0103 primite de la o vecin\u0103.<\/p>\n
M\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau mai pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, a cobor\u00e2t \u00een sat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 din zece \u00een zece pa\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Nea Vasile a r\u0103mas cu gura c\u0103scat\u0103 c\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Elena\u2026 ar\u0103ta\u021bi\u2026 altfel.<\/p>\n
\u0218i chiar ar\u0103ta.<\/p>\n
Obrajii \u00eei aveau pu\u021bin\u0103 culoare. Ochii nu mai erau stin\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o lun\u0103, s-a dus la control la spitalul jude\u021bean, mai mult ca s\u0103 \u00eenchid\u0103 un capitol.<\/p>\n
Doctorul a privit analizele de dou\u0103 ori.<\/p>\n
Apoi a mai cerut \u00eenc\u0103 unele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Ionescu\u2026 a spus el \u00eencet. Ceva nu se potrive\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Tumora se mic\u0219orase.<\/p>\n
Nu disp\u0103ruse complet. Dar nu mai era condamnarea sigur\u0103 de acum o lun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u2026 rar, a b\u00e2iguit medicul. Foarte rar.<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Nu era miracolul casei.<\/p>\n
Nu erau spirite.<\/p>\n
Era lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Era faptul c\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai a\u0219tepta moartea.<\/p>\n
A\u0219tepta r\u0103s\u0103ritul.<\/p>\n
S-a \u00eentors pe Dealul Speran\u021bei \u00een aceea\u0219i zi.<\/p>\n
Casa nu mai era un sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Era \u00eenceputul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prim\u0103var\u0103, gr\u0103dina a \u00eenverzit.<\/p>\n
Oamenii din sat au \u00eenceput s\u0103 urce. Mai \u00eent\u00e2i din curiozitate. Apoi ca s\u0103 o ajute.<\/p>\n
Casa de 50 de lei s-a umplut de r\u00e2sete, de ceai cald \u0219i de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena, femeia care venise s\u0103 moar\u0103, a r\u0103mas s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 uneori, c\u00e2nd pierzi tot, c\u00e2\u0219tigi lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
