Vasile a oftat ad\u00e2nc \u0219i a mai umplut un p\u0103h\u0103rel cu \u021buic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s\u0103-\u021bi spun, Andrei\u2026 De c\u00e2nd a murit Ion, fata n-a mai cunoscut zi lini\u0219tit\u0103. Isidora o \u021bine din scurt. O pune la munc\u0103 de diminea\u021ba p\u00e2n\u0103 noaptea. \u0218i dac\u0103 ceva nu-i convine\u2026 \u0219tii \u0219i tu.<\/p>\n
Andrei a str\u00e2ns pumnii pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i nimeni n-a zis nimic?<\/p>\n
\u2014 S-a mai \u0219optit prin sat. Dar oamenii au fric\u0103. Isidora are o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie pe cas\u0103, cic\u0103 Ion ar fi \u00eemprumutat bani \u00eenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103. Dac\u0103 fata pleac\u0103, femeia zice c\u0103 vinde tot \u0219i o las\u0103 pe drumuri.<\/p>\n
Andrei a t\u0103cut o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci mergem pe lumin\u0103, nu pe ascuns.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i zi, s-a dus la preotul satului, p\u0103rintele Dumitru. I-a spus tot. Despre troac\u0103. Despre v\u00e2n\u0103t\u0103i. Despre frica din ochii fetei.<\/p>\n
Preotul a ascultat \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 e adev\u0103rat ce spui, e p\u0103cat greu. \u0218i nedreptate mare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E mai mult dec\u00e2t p\u0103cat \u2014 a spus Andrei. \u2014 E b\u0103taie de joc.<\/p>\n
Duminica urm\u0103toare, dup\u0103 slujb\u0103, p\u0103rintele a vorbit \u00een fa\u021ba oamenilor despre datoria de a nu \u00eenchide ochii la suferin\u021ba aproapelui. Nu a dat nume. Dar to\u021bi au \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
Isidora a ie\u0219it din biseric\u0103 ro\u0219ie la fa\u021b\u0103, cu buzele str\u00e2nse.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, Andrei a venit la poarta ei. Nu singur. Cu el erau p\u0103rintele \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 doi b\u0103rba\u021bi din sat.<\/p>\n
Isidora a z\u00e2mbit str\u00e2mb.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-i cu adunarea asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit s\u0103 vorbim \u2014 a spus p\u0103rintele calm. \u2014 Despre fat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena st\u0103tea \u00een prag, nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 mai pui m\u00e2na pe ea, nu mai t\u0103cem.<\/p>\n
Isidora a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E \u00een casa mea. Fac ce vreau.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Casa e pe numele lui Ion \u2014 a spus unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bi. \u2014 \u0218i fata e mo\u0219tenitoare. Datoriile se pot pl\u0103ti. Avem martori c\u0103 munce\u0219te f\u0103r\u0103 plat\u0103 de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, z\u00e2mbetul Isidorei s-a cl\u0103tinat.<\/p>\n
Andrei a scos o pung\u0103 de p\u00e2nz\u0103 \u0219i a pus-o pe mas\u0103, \u00een tind\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt bani str\u00e2n\u0219i din v\u00e2nzarea oilor. Destui c\u00e2t s\u0103 acopere ce-ai spus c\u0103 e datorie. Dac\u0103 h\u00e2rtia e adev\u0103rat\u0103, o achit\u0103m. Dac\u0103 nu\u2026 mergem la judecat\u0103 la C\u00e2mpeni.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Satul se str\u00e2nsese la poart\u0103. Oamenii priveau. Nu mai era \u0219oapt\u0103. Era lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Isidora a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu mai are unde s\u0103 se ascund\u0103.<\/p>\n
A scos h\u00e2rtia. M\u00e2na \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n
Preotul a citit-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e semn\u0103tura lui Ion \u2014 a spus rar. \u2014 E f\u0103cut\u0103 dup\u0103 moartea lui.<\/p>\n
Un murmur a trecut prin mul\u021bime.<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai poate respira.<\/p>\n
Ani \u00eentregi de fric\u0103 se cl\u0103tinau \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Isidora a \u00eenceput s\u0103 strige, s\u0103 acuze, s\u0103 blesteme. Dar nimeni nu o mai asculta.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103, jandarmul a venit \u0219i a luat-o la \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena\u2026 pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een trei ani, a dormit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 tresar\u0103 la fiecare zgomot.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, casa a r\u0103mas pe numele ei. Satul a ajutat-o s\u0103 repare gardul, s\u0103 cure\u021be ograda, s\u0103 v\u0103ruiasc\u0103 pere\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Andrei nu a plecat cu turma.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
Nu i-a promis palate. Nici averi.<\/p>\n
Doar respect.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 de toamn\u0103, sub nucul din curte, Elena a ridicat privirea spre el f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai f\u0103cut asta pentru mine?<\/p>\n
Andrei a z\u00e2mbit simplu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nimeni nu merit\u0103 s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00een genunchi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ochii ei nu mai era ru\u0219ine. Nici team\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era demnitate.<\/p>\n
Iar satul, care odinioar\u0103 \u00eentorcea privirea, a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 uneori e nevoie de un singur om ca s\u0103 aprind\u0103 curajul \u00een to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i din fata care m\u00e2ncase din troaca porcilor a r\u0103mas doar amintirea.<\/p>\n
Elena \u0219i-a rec\u0103p\u0103tat numele.<\/p>\n
