Crezi c\u0103 dup\u0103 ce cr\u0103pi nu mai e nevoie de ea?<\/p>\n
Nu, hot\u0103r\u00eet lucru, nu eram convins c\u0103 dup\u0103 ce cr\u0103p nu mai era nevoie de ea, nu eram convins nici de contrariu; dar \u00eentotdeauna mi se spunea s\u0103 procedez cu grij\u0103, s\u0103 nu sparg, s\u0103 nu murd\u0103resc, \u00eentr-un cuv\u00eent, s\u0103 nu stric ceva, ceva care ar putea folosi \u2013 eventual \u2013 altcuiva, altcuiva care s-ar g\u0103si \u00eentr-o bun\u0103 zi \u00een locul meu \u015fi c\u0103ruia i s-ar spune:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo! Umbl\u0103 mai cu grij\u0103 cu cana aia!\u2026<\/p>\n
Crezi c\u0103 dup\u0103 ce cr\u0103pi nu mai e nevoie de ea?<\/p>\n
De aceea m\u0103 \u00eentorc \u015fi, apuc\u00eend cana de toart\u0103, o \u00eenv\u00eert de dou\u0103-trei ori \u00een jurul degetului ar\u0103t\u0103tor, apoi, ca \u015fi cum a\u015f fi distrat, \u00eei dau drumul, pref\u0103c\u00eendu-m\u0103 foarte mirat de cele ce urmeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cana cade cu zgomot \u015fi se sparge. Atunci \u00eemi preg\u0103tesc t\u0103lpile pentru cele optzeci de lovituri, niciodat\u0103 mai pu\u0163ine sau mai multe, de\u015fi \u00een fiecare zi mi se spune c\u0103 viitoarea abatere va fi \u015fi mai aspru pedepsit\u0103. Nefiind prima dat\u0103 c\u00eend \u00eencasez cele optzeci de lovituri, nu ave\u0163i de unde \u015fti dac\u0103 m\u0103 doare sau nu. Eu nu v\u0103 spun, deci s\u0103 continu\u0103m. Dup\u0103 cele optzeci de lovituri, m\u0103 \u00eencal\u0163 \u015fi m\u0103 t\u00eer\u0103sc cum pot p\u00een\u0103 \u00een col\u0163ul \u00eenc\u0103perii, unde m\u0103 pr\u0103bu\u015fesc cu spatele sprijinit de zid. Paznicul \u015fi ceilal\u0163i doi ies tr\u00eentind u\u015fa. Abia \u00eencuie, \u015fi \u015feful, un ins de vreo dou\u0103 ori c\u00eet mine, se apropie, \u00eemi cerceteaz\u0103 mutra \u00eentorc\u00eend-o pe o parte \u015fi pe cealalt\u0103 cu v\u00eerful sabotului, pe urm\u0103 trosne\u015fte din degete ca un birjar \u015fi-i spune unui cirac:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arde-l, m\u0103, c\u0103-i prost!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u0102sta at\u00eet a\u015fteapt\u0103. M\u0103 apuc\u0103 de p\u0103r, m\u0103 ridic\u0103 \u00een picioare \u2013 de c\u00eend repet\u0103 toat\u0103 opera\u0163ia asta \u015ftie c\u0103 nu m\u0103 pot \u0163ine singur pe picioare \u2013 m\u0103 sprijin\u0103 de zid \u015fi \u00eencepe s\u0103-mi care la pumni p\u00een\u0103 c\u00eend nu mai simt nimic. B\u0103nuiesc c\u0103-mi mai arde \u015fi pe urm\u0103 vreo c\u00ee\u0163iva. Cad la loc \u015fi r\u0103m\u00een a\u015fa, \u00een starea asta de incon\u015ftien\u0163\u0103, ceasuri de vreme. Uneori m\u0103 mai trezesc noaptea bolborosind c\u00eete ceva \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu faptul c\u0103 nu-mi g\u0103sesc spinarea sau m\u00eeinile sau picioarele \u015fi adorm la loc. M\u0103 trezesc abia a doua zi la vremea pr\u00eenzului. Gardianul \u00eemi \u00eentinde cana, eu beau pu\u0163in \u015fi o pun pe marginea zidului. Nu prea are loc. St\u0103 pe jum\u0103tate afar\u0103, dar nu cade.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo! \u00eemi strig\u0103 atunci gardianul. Umbl\u0103<\/p>\n
mai cu grij\u0103 cu cana aia\u2026 Crezi c\u0103 dup\u0103 ce cr\u0103pi nu mai e nevoie de ea?<\/p>\n
Eu nu cred asta \u015fi, \u00een general, nu cred nimic. Toarta se rote\u015fte de c\u00eeteva ori \u00een jurul degetului meu ar\u0103t\u0103tor, apoi cana se sparge, urmeaz\u0103 cele optzeci de lovituri, amenin\u0163area c\u0103 data viitoare va fi \u015fi mai r\u0103u, u\u015fa tr\u00eentit\u0103, \u015feful care spune:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arde-l, m\u0103, c\u0103-i prost!<\/p>\n
Ieri a venit avocatul \u015fi mi-a spus c\u0103 totul e aranjat. Azi m-au scos, \u00een halul \u00een care eram, din celul\u0103, m-au dus la tribunal. Avocatul a vorbit probabil un ceas \u2013 eu nu \u015ftiu ce a spus, pentru c\u0103 adormisem \u2013 m-au trezit abia dup\u0103 ce el terminase de vorbit. S-a ridicat judec\u0103torul care mi-a spus c\u0103 am fost p\u00een\u0103 la urm\u0103 achitat, mi-au dat hainele \u015fi am plecat acas\u0103. M-am culcat, dar pe la cinci au venit doi care mi-au amintit c\u0103 s\u00eent chemat de urgen\u0163\u0103 la tribunal. M-am dus, fire\u015fte, m-am a\u015fezat \u00een boxa \u00een care st\u0103tusem cu c\u00eeteva ceasuri mai \u00eenainte, c\u00eend fusesem achitat. Gardianul \u2013 ap\u0103r\u00eend ca parte civil\u0103 \u2013 m-a acuzat de prejudicii aduse statului \u00een valoare de 5 200 de c\u0103ni sparte de mine \u00een timpul deten\u0163iunii. Procurorul a cerut patru ani de \u00eenchisoare, avocatul a fost de acord, judec\u0103torul a aprobat pedeapsa. Mi-au luat hainele, m-au dus \u00eenapoi \u00een celul\u0103, a venit gardianul, mi-a \u00eentins cana, am luat-o: poli\u0163a e \u00eengust\u0103. Cana st\u0103 numai pe jum\u0103tate.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo!<\/p>\n
Una, dou\u0103, trei, \u00een jurul degetului ar\u0103t\u0103tor. Zdrang!<\/p>\n
Cioburile zboar\u0103 \u00een toate p\u0103r\u0163ile. Sabotul \u015fefului se plimb\u0103 pe obrazul meu.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arde-l, m\u0103, c\u0103-i prost!<\/p>\n
Buf! Pumnul casapului sun\u0103 \u00eenfundat \u00een stomacul meu. Am luat un ciob \u00een m\u00een\u0103. Nici nu trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 mi\u015fc: casapul intr\u0103 singur cu g\u00eetul \u00een el. Voia s\u0103-mi aplice un cap \u00een burt\u0103. Casapul cade pe spate plin de s\u00eenge. E mort. Ciobul i-a t\u0103iat beregata. Intr\u0103 gardianul. M\u0103 ia. La proces m-au condamnat la moarte. M\u0103 urc\u0103 \u00eentr-o ma\u015fin\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 cu al\u0163i cinci. Ie\u015fim din ora\u015f. E frumos. \u015ei e soare. Se vede o p\u0103dure, mai \u00eencolo\u2026 Z\u00eembesc.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo! Ce te hlize\u015fti?! Crezi c\u0103 te-am scos la plimbare?<\/p>\n
Eu nu cred nimic. Dar z\u00eembesc pentru c\u0103 e, \u00een fine, altfel. La dreapta se vede o c\u00eempie cu gropi. Cred c\u0103 e poligonul pe care vom fi \u00eempu\u015fca\u0163i. Cobor\u00eem. To\u0163i \u015fase. Ne strig\u0103 pe nume, ne pune s\u0103 num\u0103r\u0103m din doi \u00een doi. Nu iese bine; mai num\u0103r\u0103m o dat\u0103. Ne a\u015fez\u0103m apoi la zid, dar mie \u00eemi vine soarele drept \u00een ochi. Dau din cap, m\u0103 \u00eencrunt: degeaba. Fac un pas spre dreapta: a\u015fa e mai bine.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo! Ce te foie\u015fti at\u00eet? Crezi c\u0103 avem prea multe gloan\u0163e de stricat pe pielea ta?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Eu tot nu cred nimic. \u0102ia \u00eencarc\u0103. Trag. Nu simt nimic. M\u0103 uit \u00een jur: ceilal\u0163i cinci au c\u0103zut. S\u00eent mor\u0163i de-a binelea. A c\u0103zut fiecare cum a apucat: unul, cu o m\u00een\u0103 \u00eenainte, altul, ghemuit\u2026 M\u0103 arunc \u015fi eu, dar nu se prinde:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo! Te crezi la teatru? Ridic\u0103-te \u015fi mar\u015f \u00eenapoi \u00een ma\u015fin\u0103!<\/p>\n
M\u0103 duc. Ajungem la \u00eenchisoare. Intru. \u00cen celul\u0103 e un miros oribil. \u00cencerc s\u0103 fac orice: merg la cinema, \u00eenot, c\u00eent, citesc, dansez; fac orice a\u015ftept\u00eend o schimbare. Nimic. Rezultatul e acela\u015fi: intr\u0103 gardianul cu cana. O iau. Fac ca de obicei.<\/p>\n
– Hei, tu de colo!<\/p>\n
Zdrang! U\u015fa tr\u00eentit\u0103.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arde-l, m\u0103, c\u0103-i prost!<\/p>\n
Buf! Nici o durere. Noaptea, caut o m\u00een\u0103, un picior\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00cen sf\u00eer\u015fit, trece. M\u0103 trezesc cu cana \u00een m\u00een\u0103.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hei, tu de colo!<\/p>\n
Nimic. A doua zi.<\/p>\n
