…\u0219i i-a \u00eentins cana.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bea. E ceai din frunze de ment\u0103 \u0219i salvie. \u00ce\u021bi va \u00eenc\u0103lzi trupul mai repede.<\/p>\n
Elena a prins cana cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde. Aburul cald i-a m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat fa\u021ba \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 zile de spaim\u0103 \u0219i frig, a sim\u021bit ceva asem\u0103n\u0103tor cu pacea.<\/p>\n
Damian s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaunul de lemn din fa\u021ba vetrei, privind fl\u0103c\u0103rile. \u00cen lumina lor, chipul lui p\u0103rea cioplit din piatr\u0103. Era un b\u0103rbat trecut prin multe, cu o cicatrice ad\u00e2nc\u0103 pe t\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u0219i ochi de un gri rece ca iarna.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Elena… \u2014 a r\u0103spuns ea cu o voce slab\u0103. \u2014 Elena Moraru.<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap u\u0219or. \u2014 Damian.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eentre ei, spart\u0103 doar de trosnetul lemnelor. Fiecare \u00ee\u0219i purta propriul trecut, dar niciunul nu \u00eendr\u0103znea s\u0103-l rosteasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 un timp, ea a ridicat privirea. \u2014 Ai tr\u0103it singur aici… mereu?<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit amar. \u2014 De zece ani. Lumea de jos nu-i pentru oameni ca mine.<\/p>\n
Ochii ei s-au \u00eendreptat spre cicatrice. A vrut s\u0103 \u00eentrebe, dar s-a oprit. Se g\u00e2ndea c\u0103 \u0219i ea purta r\u0103ni, doar c\u0103 ale ei nu se vedeau.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea noapte, Damian a r\u0103mas treaz, schimb\u00e2nd c\u00e2rpe ude \u0219i verific\u00e2ndu-i respira\u021bia. C\u00e2nd zorii au prins a colora ferestrele \u00eenghe\u021bate, femeia dormea ad\u00e2nc, \u00eenvelit\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la g\u00e2t \u00een blana groas\u0103.<\/p>\n
El a privit-o \u00eendelung. Nu mai era doar o str\u0103in\u0103 r\u0103t\u0103cit\u0103 \u00een mun\u021bi. Era dovada vie c\u0103 via\u021ba, oric\u00e2t de nemiloas\u0103, \u00eenc\u0103 putea trimite lumin\u0103 \u00een mijlocul furtunii.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Elena putea deja s\u0103 se ridice. \u00cen caban\u0103 mirosea a lemn ars \u0219i ceai de mu\u0219e\u021bel. Se sim\u021bea \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103, dar \u0219i ciudat de nelini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 pleci cur\u00e2nd? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o priveasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu… \u2014 a r\u0103spuns ea, juc\u00e2ndu-se cu cana. \u2014 Nu am unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc.<\/p>\n
Damian a oftat ad\u00e2nc. \u2014 Oamenii din vale nu iart\u0103 u\u0219or. Dac\u0103 te-au gonit, s-ar putea s\u0103 nu te mai primeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a ridicat b\u0103rbia. \u2014 N-am fugit ca s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc umilit\u0103. Am fugit ca s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc.<\/p>\n
El s-a \u00eentors \u0219i, pentru prima oar\u0103, a z\u00e2mbit cu adev\u0103rat. \u2014 Atunci r\u0103m\u00e2i p\u00e2n\u0103 te \u00eent\u0103re\u0219ti. Cabana asta a fost goal\u0103 prea mult timp.<\/p>\n
Timpul a trecut. Zilele au devenit mai bl\u00e2nde, iar z\u0103pada s-a topit \u00eencet. Elena a \u00eenceput s\u0103-l ajute: t\u0103ia lemne, g\u0103tea, aducea ap\u0103 din izvor. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, pe c\u00e2nd focul lumina fe\u021bele lor, a prins curaj \u0219i a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii… c\u00e2nd m-ai strigat atunci… \u201eIntr\u0103 \u00een pat, vaco gras\u0103\u201d… am crezut c\u0103 vrei s\u0103 m\u0103 omori.<\/p>\n
El a r\u00e2s scurt, jenat. \u2014 A\u0219a m-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat via\u021ba pe munte: dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 salvezi pe cineva, trebuie s\u0103 urli mai tare dec\u00e2t furtuna.<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit. \u2014 Atunci s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 ai reu\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Privirile li s-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit. F\u0103r\u0103 vorbe mari, f\u0103r\u0103 promisiuni. Doar dou\u0103 suflete r\u0103nite care se g\u0103siser\u0103 la marginea lumii.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea noapte, afar\u0103 ninsese din nou, dar \u00een\u0103untru era cald. Focul ardea molcom, iar lini\u0219tea era deplin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena adormi cu un g\u00e2nd: poate c\u0103 uneori Dumnezeu trimite furtunile nu ca s\u0103 ne pedepseasc\u0103, ci ca s\u0103 ne \u00eemping\u0103 exact acolo unde trebuie s\u0103 fim.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een inima mun\u021bilor, acolo unde v\u00e2ntul spulbera amintirile, ea a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 dragostea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu \u00eencepe cu vorbe dulci, ci cu o lupt\u0103 pentru via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
