Elena a r\u0103mas singur\u0103, cu respira\u021bia aburind \u00een aerul rece al magaziei. Lacrimile i se prelingeau \u00eencet pe obraji, dar nu avea putere s\u0103 le \u0219tearg\u0103. \u00ce\u0219i privea m\u00e2inile \u00een\u021bepenite, \u00eentreb\u00e2ndu-se cum de fiul ei, acela\u0219i b\u0103iat pe care-l crescuse cu at\u00e2ta dragoste, ajunsese s\u0103 o lase acolo, ca pe o povar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Trecuser\u0103 ore. \u00centunericul se \u00eengro\u0219ase, iar frigul \u00eei p\u0103trundea p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een oase. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i piard\u0103 cuno\u0219tin\u021ba, c\u00e2nd brusc a auzit un zgomot la fereastra mic\u0103 a magaziei. O umbr\u0103 s-a strecurat \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n
Era un b\u0103rbat cu chipul br\u0103zdat de ani \u0219i suferin\u021b\u0103. Hainele \u00eei erau rupte, ochii aprin\u0219i de foame \u0219i oboseal\u0103. Un fost de\u021binut, sc\u0103pat de cur\u00e2nd din pu\u0219c\u0103rie. S-a uitat la ea cu mirare.
\n\u2014 Bunico\u2026 ce cau\u021bi aici? De ce te-au l\u0103sat \u00een frig?<\/p>\n
Elena nu a putut r\u0103spunde, dar ochii ei umezi au spus totul. Str\u0103inul a oftat, s-a apropiat \u0219i a acoperit-o cu haina lui zdren\u021buit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii\u2026 eu am f\u0103cut multe rele \u00een via\u021ba mea. Am stat ani dup\u0103 gratii. Dar ceva \u00eemi spune c\u0103 Dumnezeu m-a adus aici cu un scop.<\/p>\n
A aprins un foc mic, improvizat \u00eentr-o cutie de tabl\u0103. C\u0103ldura i-a cuprins \u00eencet picioarele amor\u021bite. Apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103-i frece t\u0103lpile \u0219i m\u00e2inile, cu r\u0103bdare, cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be nea\u0219teptat\u0103 de la un om care cunoscuse doar duritatea vie\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit un fior str\u0103b\u0103t\u00e2ndu-i trupul. \u00cencet, foarte \u00eencet, a mi\u0219cat degetele. Apoi a sim\u021bit cum s\u00e2ngele \u00eencepe s\u0103 circule. Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii.
\n\u2014 Doamne\u2026 e un miracol\u2026<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a z\u00e2mbit amar.
\n\u2014 Nu, b\u0103tr\u00e2no. E doar cineva care \u0219tie ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii singur \u0219i uitat de lume.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd zorii au prins s\u0103 se arate, Elena s-a ridicat \u00een \u0219ezut. Tremura, dar st\u0103tea dreapt\u0103. Apoi, sprijinindu-se de marginea patului, a \u00eencercat ceva ce nu mai sperase vreodat\u0103: s-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a reu\u0219it. Dup\u0103 ani de neputin\u021b\u0103, a stat din nou \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, u\u0219a magaziei s-a deschis brusc. Petric\u0103 \u0219i Anca au r\u0103mas \u00eenm\u0103rmuri\u021bi v\u0103z\u00e2ndu-\u0219i mama st\u00e2nd dreapt\u0103, cu chipul luminat de o for\u021b\u0103 de ne\u00een\u021beles, iar l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea \u2014 un str\u0103in, cu ochii obosi\u021bi, dar bl\u00e2nzi.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, ru\u0219inea i-a ars pe am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena, sprijinindu-se de b\u0103rbatul necunoscut, a rostit cu o voce clar\u0103:
\n\u2014 Dumnezeu nu m-a l\u0103sat singur\u0103. Dar voi\u2026 voi m-a\u021bi l\u0103sat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
