Din t\u0103cerea pie\u021bei, se desprinse brusc o voce cald\u0103, dar ferm\u0103.<\/p>\n

Voi fi slujitorul t\u0103u pentru totdeauna, \u00ee\u021bi voi lucra p\u0103m\u00e2ntul, \u00ee\u021bi voi ridica casa, doar salveaz\u0103-i!<\/p>\n \u00cen acea clip\u0103, ceva se fr\u00e2nse \u0219i se lipi la loc \u00een inima Anei. Nu era doar mila care o \u00eempingea s\u0103 accepte, ci \u0219i un sentiment de rost, de chemare. \u00cei f\u0103cu semn lui Santiago s\u0103 o urmeze.<\/p>\n Au intrat \u00een casa ei, o locuin\u021b\u0103 mic\u0103, cu pere\u021bi albi \u0219i miros de lemn proasp\u0103t. \u00cen col\u021b, o icoan\u0103 a Maicii Domnului str\u0103lucea slab \u00een lumina ce se strecura prin fereastr\u0103. Ana se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe un scaun \u0219i lu\u0103 unul dintre copii \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n Santiago, cu ochii umezi, privea cum pruncul \u00eencepea s\u0103 sug\u0103, iar via\u021ba p\u0103rea s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 \u00een obrajii lui palizi.

Oamenii \u0219u\u0219oteau la t\u00e2rg, iar unii ridicau spr\u00e2ncenele cu judecat\u0103. Dar nimeni nu putea nega c\u0103 gemenii \u00eenfloreau, iar Ana p\u0103rea mai vie ca oric\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n Zilele se scurgeau \u00eentre muncile c\u00e2mpului, pe care Santiago le f\u0103cea cu trud\u0103, \u0219i \u00eengrijirea copiilor, la care Ana se dedica cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be de mam\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103. \u00cen serile lini\u0219tite, dup\u0103 ce \u00eei adormeau, el \u00eei aducea flori de c\u00e2mp, iar ea \u00eei punea \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 m\u00e2ncare cald\u0103.
