Sunetul metalic al lope\u021bilor \u00eei r\u0103suna \u00een cap ca un ceas care num\u0103r\u0103 invers. Elena sim\u021bea cum amor\u021beala \u00eei cuprinde tot corpul, dar mintea \u00eei devenea din ce \u00een ce mai limpede. \u0218tia c\u0103 dac\u0103 mai st\u0103 mult, nu mai are nicio \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
Respir\u0103 ad\u00e2nc, c\u00e2t putea. \u00ce\u0219i mi\u0219c\u0103 degetele\u2026 milimetru cu milimetru. Durerea era surd\u0103, dar prezent\u0103. Asta \u00eensemna c\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 mai putea lupta.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a de la intrare sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2i.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, repede, c\u0103 nu avem timp \u2014se auzi o voce necunoscut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eenchise complet ochii. Pa\u0219i grei intrar\u0103 \u00een cas\u0103. Cineva trase aer \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Miroase a m\u00e2ncare\u2026 zise omul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u0103 prostiile, ia-i \u0219i hai \u2014r\u0103spunse Andrei.<\/p>\n
Inima Elenei b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t credea c\u0103 o vor auzi. Sim\u021bi cum cineva se apropie de ea. O m\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eei atinse bra\u021bul. O \u00eentoarse u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe asta o lu\u0103m prima \u2014spuse vocea.<\/p>\n
Atunci Elena a f\u0103cut singurul lucru la care se mai putea g\u00e2ndi. \u0218i-a adunat toat\u0103 for\u021ba \u0219i a scos un geam\u0103t slab, abia perceptibil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai auzit? zise b\u0103rbatul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, \u021bi s-a p\u0103rut \u2014r\u0103spunse Andrei nervos.<\/p>\n
Dar era prea t\u00e2rziu. Suspiciunea se strecurase deja.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Luca scoase un mic sunet, ca un oftat. Involuntar. Sau poate instinct.<\/p>\n
\u2014 B\u0103, stai! \u0102\u0219tia nu-s mor\u021bi! \u2014strig\u0103 omul.<\/p>\n
Totul s-a rupt \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena deschise ochii \u0219i, cu un efort disperat, se rostogoli pe o parte. \u00centinse m\u00e2na \u0219i apuc\u0103 piciorul mesei. Se ridic\u0103 pu\u021bin, c\u00e2t s\u0103 trag\u0103 de fa\u021ba de mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Farfurii, pahare \u2014totul c\u0103zu cu zgomot pe jos.<\/p>\n
Confuzie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce naiba?! \u2014\u021bip\u0103 Andrei.<\/p>\n
Elena g\u0103si \u00een ea o for\u021b\u0103 pe care nu \u0219tia c\u0103 o are. Se t\u00e2r\u00ee p\u00e2n\u0103 la Luca, \u00eel apuc\u0103 de tricou \u0219i \u00eel trase spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fugi! \u2014\u0219opti, dar pentru ea a fost un strig\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Copilul clipi, dezorientat, dar instinctul l-a salvat. Se ridic\u0103 \u00een genunchi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen haosul acela, Elena v\u0103zu cheia pe hol, pe un cui. Ultima \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
Se ridic\u0103 pe jum\u0103tate, ame\u021bit\u0103, \u0219i f\u0103cu doi pa\u0219i nesiguri. B\u0103rbatul necunoscut \u00eencerca s\u0103 o prind\u0103, dar alunec\u0103 pe m\u00e2ncarea c\u0103zut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena apuc\u0103 cheia, descuie u\u0219a \u0219i o deschise larg.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajutor! \u2014\u021bip\u0103 cu tot aerul r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
Vocea ei sparte lini\u0219tea str\u0103zii.<\/p>\n
Un vecin ap\u0103ru la poart\u0103. Apoi altul.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u00eencremeni.<\/p>\n
Sirena poli\u021biei nu a \u00eent\u00e2rziat mult. Cineva sunase deja.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd oamenii legii au intrat, Andrei nu mai era omul calm de la \u00eenceput. Era transfigurat, disperat. A \u00eencercat s\u0103 fug\u0103, dar a fost imobilizat.<\/p>\n
Elena st\u0103tea pe jos, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-\u0219i copilul \u00een bra\u021be. Tremura, dar era vie. Am\u00e2ndoi erau.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, la spital, medicii au spus clar: \u00eenc\u0103 pu\u021bin \u0219i nu mai aveau nicio \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Elena st\u0103tea pe un pat alb, privind pe geam. Luca dormea l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba nu mai era la fel. Dar era via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
