\u00cen prag se afla Daniel.<\/p>\n
Ud, plin de noroi, cu hainele rupte \u0219i cu o zg\u00e2rietur\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103 pe obraz.<\/p>\n
Dar era \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
Emma sim\u021bi c\u0103 podeaua \u00eei fuge de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu\u2026?<\/p>\n
Daniel nu r\u0103spunse imediat.<\/p>\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 el st\u0103tea Rex.<\/p>\n
Ciob\u0103nescul german o privea fix, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u00e2r\u00e2ie. Tocmai lini\u0219tea animalului o \u00eensp\u0103im\u00e2nta \u0219i mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele lor se aflau doi poli\u021bi\u0219ti \u0219i un b\u0103rbat pe care Emma \u00eel recunoscu imediat: colonelul Andrei Petrescu, fostul comandant al so\u021bului ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum\u2026 cum este posibil? b\u00e2igui ea.<\/p>\n
Daniel f\u0103cu un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 intru?<\/p>\n
Emma se retrase instinctiv.<\/p>\n
Cu doar c\u00e2teva ore \u00eenainte sunase la 112 pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd \u0219i povestise c\u0103 so\u021bul ei c\u0103zuse accidental \u00een pr\u0103pastie. Spusese c\u0103 \u00eencercase s\u0103-l salveze, dar c\u0103 fusese prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Repetase povestea de at\u00e2tea ori \u00een minte, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape ajunsese s\u0103 o cread\u0103.<\/p>\n
Acum, omul despre care sus\u021binea c\u0103 murise st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Daniel, eu pot s\u0103 explic\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci explic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui era neobi\u0219nuit de calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Emma privi spre poli\u021bi\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A fost un accident.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te-am auzit spun\u00e2nd \u201eiart\u0103-m\u0103\u201d, r\u0103spunse Daniel.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103\u2026 pentru c\u0103 scaunul \u00eemi sc\u0103pase deja!<\/p>\n
Daniel cl\u0103tin\u0103 \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
Apoi se \u00eentoarse spre fostul s\u0103u comandant.<\/p>\n
Colonelul scoase telefonul din buzunar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, exist\u0103 \u0219i altceva.<\/p>\n
Pe ecran \u00eencepu o \u00eenregistrare.<\/p>\n
Imaginea tremura u\u0219or, dar se vedea suficient.<\/p>\n
Emma \u00eemping\u00e2nd scaunul.<\/p>\n
Daniel privind spre pr\u0103pastie.<\/p>\n
Apoi oprirea.<\/p>\n
\u0218oapta ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00eempingerea violent\u0103.<\/p>\n
Emma \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine a filmat?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu, r\u0103spunse colonelul.<\/p>\n
Atunci Daniel \u00eei explic\u0103 totul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultimele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni observase schimb\u0103ri \u00een comportamentul ei. Emma pusese \u00eentreb\u0103ri despre testament, despre companie \u0219i despre ce s-ar \u00eent\u00e2mpla cu averea dac\u0103 el ar muri.<\/p>\n
Ini\u021bial nu b\u0103nuise nimic.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103, o auzise vorbind la telefon.<\/p>\n
\u201eDup\u0103 ce nu va mai fi el, totul r\u0103m\u00e2ne al meu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel nu voise s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n
De aceea \u00eel sunase pe fostul s\u0103u comandant \u0219i \u00eei povestise.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Emma insistase at\u00e2t de mult pentru acea plimbare pe munte, cei doi stabiliser\u0103 ca Andrei s\u0103-i urm\u0103reasc\u0103 de la distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar ai c\u0103zut! strig\u0103 Emma. Te-am v\u0103zut!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
Daniel \u00ee\u0219i privi picioarele.<\/p>\n
Apoi ridic\u0103 ochii spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Numai c\u0103 nu am ajuns p\u00e2n\u0103 jos.<\/p>\n
Scaunul se rostogolise peste margine, dar la c\u00e2\u021biva metri sub potec\u0103 exista o platform\u0103 natural\u0103 de st\u00e2nc\u0103 acoperit\u0103 de vegeta\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Daniel fusese aruncat din scaun \u0219i r\u0103m\u0103sese ag\u0103\u021bat \u00eentre ni\u0219te arbu\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Rex cobor\u00e2se pe o c\u0103rare lateral\u0103 \u0219i ajunsese primul la el.<\/p>\n
L\u0103tratul c\u00e2inelui \u00eel ajutase pe Andrei s\u0103-i g\u0103seasc\u0103 pozi\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Salvatorii \u00eel scoseser\u0103 de acolo.<\/p>\n
Dar mai exista ceva ce Emma nu \u0219tia.<\/p>\n
Daniel nu fusese complet paralizat.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 luni \u00eentregi de recuperare, \u00eencepuse s\u0103-\u0219i recapete mobilitatea picioarelor. Putea sta \u00een picioare \u0219i putea face c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i cu sprijin.<\/p>\n
Nu \u00eei spusese \u00eenc\u0103 Emmei pentru c\u0103 voia s\u0103-i fac\u0103 o surpriz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ironia \u00eel durea acum mai mult dec\u00e2t r\u0103nile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Voiam s\u0103 intru singur \u00een cas\u0103 de ziua ta, \u00eei spuse. Voiam s\u0103 vezi c\u0103 pot merge din nou.<\/p>\n
Emma \u00eencepu s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Daniel, te rog\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pl\u00e2nge pentru mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am f\u0103cut o gre\u0219eal\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u2014 O gre\u0219eal\u0103?<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, vocea lui deveni aspr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O gre\u0219eal\u0103 este s\u0103 ui\u021bi o aniversare. S\u0103 iei o decizie proast\u0103. Tu m-ai \u00eempins \u00eentr-o pr\u0103pastie.<\/p>\n
Emma se apropie de el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu eram eu \u00eens\u0103mi. M-am speriat. M-am g\u00e2ndit la bani\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact. Te-ai g\u00e2ndit la bani.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre poli\u021bi\u0219ti interveni \u0219i \u00eei ceru Emmei s\u0103 se \u00eendep\u0103rteze.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timp ce \u00eei puneau c\u0103tu\u0219ele, ea \u00eel privea disperat\u0103 pe Daniel.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Spune-le c\u0103 nu vrei s\u0103 depui pl\u00e2ngere! Suntem c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi!<\/p>\n
Daniel r\u0103mase t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
Rex veni l\u00e2ng\u0103 el \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i sprijini capul de piciorul st\u0103p\u00e2nului.<\/p>\n
Daniel \u00eel m\u00e2ng\u00e2ie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i tocmai pentru c\u0103 eram c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi trebuia s\u0103 fiu omul \u00een care nu \u021bi-ar fi trecut niciodat\u0103 prin minte s\u0103 \u00eenfigi cu\u021bitul.<\/p>\n
Emma fu condus\u0103 afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen lunile urm\u0103toare, Daniel continu\u0103 recuperarea.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput f\u0103cea doar c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00eentre barele metalice din sala de kinetoterapie.<\/p>\n
Rex \u00eel a\u0219tepta de fiecare dat\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Zece pa\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Apoi dou\u0103zeci.<\/p>\n
Apoi cincizeci.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 de prim\u0103var\u0103, Daniel ie\u0219i singur \u00een curtea centrului de recuperare, sprijinindu-se \u00eentr-un baston.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u00eel a\u0219tepta l\u00e2ng\u0103 poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde mergem? \u00eentreb\u0103 acesta.<\/p>\n
Daniel privi cerul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La munte.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u00eel privi surprins.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti sigur?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 nu m\u0103 \u00eentorc acolo, o s\u0103-mi fie fric\u0103 toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Daniel ajunse din nou pe aceea\u0219i potec\u0103.<\/p>\n
De data aceasta nu era \u00eentr-un scaun cu rotile.<\/p>\n
Mergea \u00eencet, cu bastonul \u00eentr-o m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i cu Rex al\u0103turi.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd ajunse aproape de locul \u00een care Emma \u00eel \u00eempinsese, se opri.<\/p>\n
Privi \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
Nu sim\u021bi furie.<\/p>\n
Nici dorin\u021b\u0103 de r\u0103zbunare.<\/p>\n
Sim\u021bi doar recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 era \u00eenc\u0103 acolo.<\/p>\n
Rex se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
Daniel \u00eei puse m\u00e2na pe cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu ai \u0219tiut, nu-i a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
C\u00e2inele \u00eel privi.<\/p>\n
Daniel z\u00e2mbi pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe luni.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea zi \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 cea mai mare avere pe care o primise de la tat\u0103l s\u0103u nu era compania, casa sau banii din conturi.<\/p>\n
Era \u0219ansa de a descoperi cine r\u0103m\u00e2ne l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine atunci c\u00e2nd nu mai pari puternic.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 uneori omul care \u00ee\u021bi promite c\u0103 te va \u021bine de m\u00e2n\u0103 toat\u0103 via\u021ba este primul care \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 drumul.<\/p>\n
