K\u0101du vakaru, t\u016bda\u013c p\u0113c vakari\u0146\u0101m, kad galds bija nokopts un vec\u0101 m\u0101jkalpot\u0101ja Verena devusies pie miera, Haritija, t\u012bri nejau\u0161i, k\u013cuva par liecinieci Rojala kunga un jaun\u0101 H\u0101rnija sarunai uz verandas.

Vi\u0146a bija paman\u012bjusi, ka visas vi\u0146u sarunas laik\u0101 ar L\u016bciju H\u0101rniju, Rojala kungs nebija nosaucis vi\u0146u v\u0101rd\u0101, paties\u012bb\u0101 pat izvair\u012bjies no jebk\u0101diem m\u0101jieniem, kas var\u0113tu vi\u0146u identific\u0113t ar b\u0113rnu, kuru vi\u0146\u0161 bija atvedis no Kalna, un vi\u0146a zin\u0101ja, ka tas ir aiz cie\u0146as pret vi\u0146u, ka vi\u0146\u0161 tika klus\u0113jis. Bet k\u0101da j\u0113ga bija t\u0101dai vi\u0146a r\u012bc\u012bbai, ja k\u0101d\u0101 p\u0113cpusdien\u0101, vi\u0146a pati bija pie\u013c\u0101vusi k\u013c\u016bdu, izst\u0101stot H\u0101rnijam, ka vi\u0146a n\u0101k no Kalna? Tagad katrs v\u0101rds, kas tika run\u0101ts taj\u0101 dien\u0101, lika Haritijai saprast, ka \u0161\u0101da vi\u0146as izcelsme, neap\u0161aub\u0101mi, tikai palielin\u0101s att\u0101lumu starp vi\u0146iem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desmit dienu laik\u0101, ko vi\u0146\u0161 pavad\u012bja Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101, L\u016bcijs H\u0101rnijs nebija ar vi\u0146u run\u0101jis ne v\u0101rda par m\u012blest\u012bbu. Vi\u0146\u0161 bija run\u0101jis ar savu m\u0101s\u012bcu un p\u0101rliecin\u0101jis Hat\u010dardas jaunkundzi par vi\u0146as k\u0101 bibliotek\u0101res nopelniem, bet tas bija tikai taisn\u012bgi, jo tie\u0161i vi\u0146a pa\u0161a vainas d\u0113\u013c, \u0161ie nopelni tika ap\u0161aub\u012bti, vi\u0146\u0161 bija l\u016bdzis Haritijai vi\u0146u pavad\u012bt, kad vi\u0146\u0161 nol\u012bga advok\u0101ta Rojala bagiju, lai dotos vi\u0146a skic\u0113\u0161anas eksped\u012bcij\u0101s, bet ar\u012b tas bija pietiekami dabiski, jo vi\u0146\u0161 nepazina \u0161o re\u0123ionu. Visbeidzot, kad vi\u0146a m\u0101s\u012bca tika aicin\u0101ta uz Springf\u012bldu, vi\u0146\u0161 bija l\u016bdzis Rojala kungu izmitin\u0101t vi\u0146u. Protams! Ar kur v\u0113l Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101 gan vi\u0146\u0161 b\u016btu var\u0113jis vienoties uz tik izdev\u012bgiem noteikumiem, k\u0101 ar advok\u0101tu Rojalu? Ne ar Keriku Fr\u012bdu, kura sieva bija paraliz\u0113ta, un kuram pa\u0161am knapi pietika vietas pie galda vi\u0146a kuplajai \u0123imenei, ne ar Targatu, kur\u0161 dz\u012bvoja j\u016bdzi aug\u0161up pa ce\u013cu, ne ar nabaga veco Haves kundzi, kuru vi\u0146as vec\u0101k\u0101 meita bija pametusi, un kurai pa\u0161ai tik tikko bija sp\u0113ks gatavot savas malt\u012btes, kam\u0113r Alija, vi\u0146as meita, nopeln\u012bja savu iztiku k\u0101 \u0161uv\u0113ja. Mistera Rojala m\u0101ja bija vien\u012bg\u0101, kur\u0101 jaunajam v\u012brietim var\u0113ja pied\u0101v\u0101t pien\u0101c\u012bgu viesm\u012bl\u012bbu. Tom\u0113r, taj\u0101 vis\u0101 nebija ne v\u0101rda par m\u012blest\u012bbu. Vi\u0146a nesaskat\u012bja taj\u0101 ne vismaz\u0101ko cer\u012bbu staru, p\u0113c kura t\u0101 klus\u012bb\u0101 ilgoj\u0101s. Un tom\u0113r- L\u016bcija H\u0101rnija iera\u0161an\u0101s bija tikpat nosl\u0113pumaina un sp\u0113c\u012bga k\u0101 zem\u016bdens straume, kas liek me\u017eam saplaukt lap\u0101s, v\u0113l pirms ledus ie\u0161anas pa upes straumi. K\u0101d\u0113\u013c t\u0101 vienm\u0113r notika- taj\u0101 br\u012bd\u012b, kad Haritijai \u0161\u0137ita, ka vi\u0146a ir vistuv\u0101k sav\u0101m cer\u012bb\u0101m, saviem sap\u0146iem, tie t\u012bri vienk\u0101r\u0161i iz\u0161\u0137\u012bda vi\u0146as acu priek\u0161\u0101 atkal un atkal? Taj\u0101 nakt\u012b, gul\u0113dama tur, seju iespiedusi spilven\u0101, saburz\u012bt\u0101 kleit\u0101, kuru t\u0101 bija aizmirsusi novilkt, Haritija, sav\u0101 pazemojum\u0101 un b\u0113d\u0101s, l\u016bdz\u0101s, kaut vi\u0146a vairs nekad neredz\u0113tu L\u016bciju H\u0101rniju atkal. \u0160is pazemojums, kuru vi\u0146ai n\u0101c\u0101s piedz\u012bvot, apzinoties savas izcel\u0161an\u0101s niec\u012bbu, bija nepacie\u0161ams un Haritijai \u0161\u0137ita, ka lab\u0101k \u0161onakt mirtu, nek\u0101 piedz\u012bvotu t\u0101du kaunu, k\u0101 satikt jauno H\u0101rniju atkal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ta\u010du n\u0101kamaj\u0101 r\u012bt\u0101, atverot acis, vi\u0146as pirm\u0101 doma bija par laikapst\u0101k\u013ciem, jo vi\u0146a bija sol\u012bjusies H\u0101rnijam aizvest vi\u0146u uz br\u016bno m\u0101ju purva mal\u0101 un p\u0113ctam pie Hamblina, un no vis\u0101m vakardienas sirdss\u0101p\u0113m, p\u0101ri bija paliku\u0161as tikai neskaidras nojausmas. T\u0101d\u0113\u013c tor\u012bt vi\u0146a bija virtuv\u0113 agr\u0101k k\u0101 parasti, pirms v\u0113l Rojala kungs un Verena bija piec\u0113lu\u0161ies, gatavojot sviestmaizes ar sieru, lejot pudel\u0113 pani\u0146as un iesai\u0146ojot \u0101bolu maizi, ko pa\u0146emt sev l\u012bdzi. Kad vi\u0146a izn\u0101ca lieven\u012b, sav\u0101 roz\u0101 kat\u016bna kleit\u0101, kura gan bija nedaudz pabal\u0113jusi no bie\u017e\u0101s mazg\u0101\u0161anas, tom\u0113r pietiekami laba t\u0101dai dienai k\u0101 \u0161\u012b, izzuda ar\u012b beidzam\u0101s vi\u0146as cie\u0161anu p\u0113das.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un vi\u0146a juta sev\u012b no jauna uzvirmojam m\u012blest\u012bbu, redzot jauno H\u0101rniju n\u0101kam pa ce\u013cu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ar\u012b Rojala kungs bija jau verand\u0101. Brokastis vi\u0146i bija pa\u0113du\u0161i klus\u0113jot, bet, tagad, kad vi\u0146a izn\u0101ca sav\u0101 roz\u0101 kleit\u0101, ar grozu rok\u0101, vi\u0146\u0161 ar p\u0101rsteigumu paskat\u012bj\u0101s uz Haritiju:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Uz kurieni tad tu ej?” vi\u0146\u0161 jaut\u0101ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“K\u0101p\u0113c H\u0101rnija kungs \u0161odien s\u0101ka agr\u0101k nek\u0101 parasti?” vi\u0146a atbild\u0113ja ar pretjaut\u0101jumu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“H\u0101rnija kungs? Vai tad vi\u0146\u0161 v\u0113l nav iem\u0101c\u012bjies j\u0101t ar zirgu, ka tas j\u0101pavada?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146a neatbild\u0113ja. Rojala kungs s\u0113d\u0113ja atliecies atpaka\u013c sav\u0101 kr\u0113sl\u0101, bungojot ar k\u0101ju pa lieveni. T\u0101 bija pirm\u0101 reize, kad vi\u0146\u0161 \u0161\u0101d\u0101 ton\u012b run\u0101ja par jauno v\u012brieti, un Haritijai \u0161is vi\u0146a tonis nepatika. P\u0113c mirk\u013ca vi\u0146\u0161 piec\u0113l\u0101s un dev\u0101s prom uz zemes gabalu aiz m\u0101jas, kur algotais v\u012brs bija jau uzs\u0101cis savu darbu, kapl\u0113jot zemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaiss \u0161or\u012bt bija v\u0113ss un dzidrs, ar rudens dzirksti, ko vasaras s\u0101kum\u0101 kalnos ienes zieme\u013cu v\u0113j\u0161. T\u0101 k\u0101 nakts bijusi tik r\u0101ma, tagad visur, kur vien uzmeta skatienu, var\u0113ja paman\u012bt rasas p\u0113rl\u012btes, kas r\u012bta saules gaism\u0101 mirdz\u0113ja k\u0101 dimanti z\u0101l\u0113 un uz papard\u0113m. Tas bija gar\u0161 brauciens- vispirms p\u0101ri ielejai ar ziliem kalniem, kas ietv\u0113ra atkl\u0101t\u0101s nog\u0101zes, tad lej\u0101 pa di\u017esk\u0101bar\u017ea me\u017eu l\u012bdz Krestonai ar br\u016bno strautu, kas putodams v\u0113l\u0101s p\u0101ri ar s\u016bn\u0101m apaugu\u0161ajiem rifiem, tad atkal uz lauksaimniec\u012bbas zem\u0113m ap Krestonas ezeru un aug\u0161up pa \u0112rg\u013cu gr\u0113d\u0101m. Beidzot vi\u0146i sasniedza vietu, kur kalni savienoj\u0101s, atkl\u0101jot vi\u0146u skatienam v\u0113lvienu pla\u0161u ieleju, za\u013cu un me\u017eon\u012bgu, ar zilu kalnu gr\u0113du, kas tiec\u0101s pret\u012bm debes\u012bm k\u0101 paisuma vi\u013c\u0146i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tas, patiesi bija fantastisks skats, tik daudz me\u017eon\u012bgas un neapstr\u0101d\u0101tas zemes vienuviet. Saule tagad jau bija k\u013cuvusi karsta- t\u0101 st\u0101v\u0113ja pa\u0161\u0101 dienvid\u016b, gais\u0101 dejoja vasaras kukai\u0146u un balto tauri\u0146u bezb\u0113d\u012bgais duets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u0101rnijs pies\u0113ja zirgu pie koka celma un vi\u0146i izsai\u0146oja savu grozu zem veca riekstkoka ar rievotu stumbru, no kura izlaid\u0101s iztrauc\u0113ta kamene. Jaunais H\u0101rnijs klus\u0113dams sekoja vi\u0146ai un Haritija dom\u0101ja par to, vai vi\u0146a klus\u0113\u0161ana var\u0113tu kaut k\u0101d\u0101 veid\u0101 b\u016bt saist\u012bta ar sarunu par vi\u0146u, kuru vi\u0146a vakarnakt bija noklaus\u012bjusies.

\u201cTuvojas negaiss!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija pac\u0113la roku pret\u012bm debes\u012bm, kur\u0101s nu bija sast\u0101ju\u0161ies tum\u0161i, draud\u012bgi m\u0101ko\u0146i, v\u0113stot par dr\u012bza lietus tuvo\u0161anos.

L\u016bcijs H\u0101rnijs ar skatienu br\u012bdi sekoja vi\u0146ai, tad smaidot paskat\u012bj\u0101s uz meiteni:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bij\u0101m peld\u0113ties, tad es atg\u016blos un piemigu, kad pamodos, Henrijs vairs nebija kop\u0101 ar mani, bet bet vi\u0146a viet\u0101, satiku glumu, pret\u012bgu vardi, kura, pie tam, neliek mani mieru ne mirkli! \u0160\u0137iet, vi\u0146a ien\u0101ca kop\u0101 ar mani m\u0101j\u0101!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tagad m\u0101te dusm\u0101s sagr\u0101ba Augustu un sapurin\u0101ja tik sp\u0113c\u012bgi. kad tam lik\u0101s, ka m\u0101te grib tam dv\u0113seli \u0101r\u0101 izpurin\u0101t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT\u0101 nav tiesa! M\u0113s satik\u0101m pavisam labi, t\u0101 v\u0113l bija t\u0101da z\u0113niska dauz\u012b\u0161an\u0101s!

\u201cK\u0101 es esmu j\u016bs abus izlaidusi! T\u0101 ir mana vaina! Tikai mana! Es audzinu j\u016bs viena bez t\u0113va, bez v\u012brie\u0161a stingr\u0101 v\u0101rda un rokas. Kad nomira j\u016bsu t\u0113vs, es nevar\u0113ju vairs ne uz vienu citu skat\u012bties, man ar\u012b neatlika nekam laika, jo auga divi z\u0113ni, kuri bija j\u0101apr\u016bp\u0113, j\u0101pabaro un j\u0101palai\u017e skol\u0101.

\u201cLab\u0101k jau dz\u012bvu, nek\u0101 miru\u0161u!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tagad Augusts pagriez\u0101s un izskr\u0113ja \u0101r\u0101 par durv\u012bm. Vi\u0146\u0161 nog\u0101ja lej\u0101 pie ezera, kur<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146am bija pilna sirds b\u0113du un nezi\u0146as, kur lai mekl\u0113 br\u0101li, bez tam, nu vi\u0146\u0161 no\u017e\u0113loja visu, ko tam teicis un dar\u012bjis. Vi\u0146\u0161 to nemaz nebija dom\u0101jis nopietni. Ko lai vi\u0146\u0161 tagad dara? Kur lai iet? Kur lai mekl\u0113 Henriju?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKv\u0101k! Kv\u0101k!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piepe\u0161i atkal atskan\u0113ja vi\u0146am tie\u0161i blakus. Augusts paskat\u012bj\u0101s uz to pusi, no kurienes atskan\u0113ja kv\u0101k\u0161\u0137\u0113\u0161ana- tur st\u0101v\u0113ja varde, glu\u017ei t\u0101da pati, k\u0101 pirm\u012bt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEj proj\u0101m, atst\u0101j mani mier\u0101!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet varde tikai st\u0101v\u0113ja, acis bol\u012bdama, un kv\u0101k\u0161\u0137\u0113ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLasies no man\u0101m ac\u012bm!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Augusts pa\u0137\u0113ra no ezera malas akmenti\u0146u un svieda ar to vardei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKv\u0101k! Kv\u0101k!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varde pal\u0113ca mal\u0101, bet neb\u0113ga, savuk\u0101rt, z\u0113ns, iekrita ar seju krasta z\u0101l\u0113 un no jauna s\u0101ka raud\u0101t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVai tad tu neredzi, ka man ir b\u0113das- mans br\u0101lis ir pazudis un tagad m\u0101te liek man vi\u0146u atvest m\u0101j\u0101s! Bet k\u0101? Kur lai es mekl\u0113ju Henriju?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNu ko es prasu padomu vardei? Tu ta\u010du esi tikai d\u012b\u0137a varde! Ej sav\u0101 d\u012b\u0137\u012b un dz\u012bvo tur, ko piest\u0101jies cilv\u0113kam?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKv\u0101k! Kv\u0101k!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kad Augusts no jauna atv\u0113ra acis, vardi nekur apk\u0101rt vairs neredz\u0113ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeidzot! Esmu ticis va\u013c\u0101 no t\u0101s vardes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Augusts nog\u0101ja lej\u0101 pie ezera un nomazg\u0101ja muti. Tagad saule jau laid\u0101s uz vakaru un vi\u0146am bija j\u0101atgrie\u017eas m\u0101j\u0101s, bet bez br\u0101\u013ca vi\u0146\u0161 nevar\u0113ja atgriezties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKv\u0101k! Kv\u0101k!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atskan\u0113ja turpat blakus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piepe\u0161i Augusts nenotur\u0113ja l\u012bdzsvaru un atmuguriski ieg\u0101z\u0101s \u016bden\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTu par mani smejies? Nu pagaidi!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varde l\u0113k\u0161oja pa \u016bdeni par priek\u0161u, bet Augusts dzin\u0101s tai nopaka\u013c t\u0101, ka \u016bdens \u0161\u0137\u012bda uz vis\u0101m pus\u0113m. Varde izdar\u012bja v\u0113l da\u017eus l\u0113cienus un nozuda \u016bdens augos, bet Augusts jau atkal nenotur\u0113j\u0101s un tagad nolik\u0101s gu\u013cus \u016bden\u012b vis\u0101 garum\u0101.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u0113k\u0161\u0146i vi\u0146am blakus atskan\u0113ja smiekli, kuri izskan\u0113ja k\u0101 \u016bdens burbu\u013co\u0161ana, tekot p\u0101ri akme\u0146iem.T\u0101di pa\u0161i smiekli, k\u0101dus vi\u0146i ar Henriju bija dzird\u0113ju\u0161i pag\u0101ju\u0161aj\u0101 nakt\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kad D\u017eefrijs Holands no jauna iededza elektr\u012bbu, laup\u012bt\u0101js bija izzudis no vi\u0146a redzesloka. Vi\u0146\u0161 dzird\u0113ja so\u013cus jau izskanam kaut kur aiz k\u0101p\u0146u pagrieziena, kur\u0161 t\u0101l\u0101k veda uz vair\u0101ku citu k\u0101p\u0146u sazarojumu. Holands saprata, ka nedr\u012bkst zaud\u0113t laiku ne mirkli. Uzvilcis z\u0101bakus, lai maldin\u0101tu zagli par savu atra\u0161an\u0101s vietu, vi\u0146\u0161 sekoja so\u013ciem. T\u0101 bija ne vienk\u0101r\u0161a un, ja t\u0101 var\u0113tu teikt, pat b\u012bstama sp\u0113le, ta\u010du, taj\u0101 br\u012bd\u012b D\u017eefrijs sajuta sev\u012b nezin no kurienes mostamies azartu un prieku par iesp\u0113ju b\u016bt noteic\u0113jam par situ\u0101ciju. Tagad vi\u0146\u0161 \u0161eit visu kontrol\u0113ja. V\u0113lviens pagrieziens, tad v\u0113lviens un laup\u012bt\u0101js bija vi\u0146am rok\u0101s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146am par p\u0101rsteigumu, laup\u012bt\u0101js tobr\u012bd paklaus\u012bja, nost\u0101joties t\u0101, k\u0101 tam bija teikts.

D\u017eefrijs Holands met\u0101s pie telefona un uzgrieza centr\u0101les nummuru. Savienojums nepien\u0101ca. Vi\u0146\u0161 m\u0113\u0123in\u0101ja v\u0113l vair\u0101kas reizes, bet bez pan\u0101kumiem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146a pagrie\u017eas, lai ietu, tad atskat\u0101s uz t\u0113vu, kur\u0161 v\u0113l joproj\u0101m s\u0113\u017e pie galda, galvu rok\u0101 atbalst\u012bjis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtams, meiti\u0146!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arv\u012bds pasmaida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inta iek\u0101pj gult\u0101 un sa\u0146em t\u0113va roku no jauna:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEs m\u012blu tevi, t\u0113t! Varb\u016bt p\u0113d\u0113j\u0101 laik\u0101 mums nav izn\u0101cis t\u0101 \u012bsti parun\u0101t, bet t\u0101 ir taisn\u012bba.

Arv\u012bds dzi\u013ci ieelpo, tad atkal izelpo, pirms pam\u0101j ar galvu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJ\u0101! Es ar\u012b tevi \u013coti m\u012blu! Tagad guli, es b\u016b\u0161u tepat, es vienm\u0113r b\u016b\u0161u ar tevi!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inta aizver acis, kaut kur dzi\u013ci sird\u012b v\u0113l gruzd s\u0101pe par Elv\u012bru, bet vi\u0146ai l\u012bdz\u0101s ir t\u0113tis, vislab\u0101kais un vism\u012b\u013c\u0101kais cilv\u0113ks pasaul\u0113…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arv\u012bds skat\u0101s uz aizmigu\u0161o, nu jau pieaugu\u0161o meitu, nesp\u0113dams nedom\u0101t par Olgu atkal un atkal… Vi\u0146a bija dar\u012bjusi to laim\u012bgu un sagr\u0101vusi vi\u0146a dz\u012bvi vienlaic\u012bgi. Kop\u0161 vi\u0146as negaid\u012bt\u0101s pazu\u0161anas, vi\u0146\u0161 t\u0101 ar\u012b nebija sp\u0113jis iem\u012bl\u0113t nevienu no jauna. V\u0113l jau vi\u0146\u0161 jauns, tikai 57 gadi, bet k\u0101da tam visam noz\u012bme… k\u0101da noz\u012bme bez Olgas? Viss, kas bija noticis… viss, kam vi\u0146i izg\u0101ju\u0161i cauri…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arv\u012bds piever acis… .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cN\u0101c, d\u016bdi\u0146! N\u0101c pie t\u0113ti!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maz\u0101 smiedam\u0101s \u013cempato pret\u012b vi\u0146am, vi\u0146a tiko k\u0101 iem\u0101c\u012bjusies staig\u0101t un \u0161is vi\u0146ai viens no pirmajiem \u201ceks\u0101meniem\u201d. Ar\u012b Olga v\u0113ro vi\u0146us un smaida, s\u0113\u017eot atspiedusies uz rokas turpat uz pakl\u0101ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVi\u0146a mums ir br\u012bne\u0161\u0137\u012bga! Ne tikai skaists b\u0113rns, bet gudra un ap\u0137\u0113r\u012bga meitene!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piepe\u0161i mazajai aiz\u0137eras k\u0101ja aiz p\u0101rkl\u0101ja, par kuru vi\u0146a iet, vi\u0146a nog\u0101\u017eas un s\u0101k br\u0113kt. Olga piece\u013cas un pa\u0146\u0113musi b\u0113rnu, iece\u013c sev kl\u0113p\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVi\u0146a ir tikpat skaista, k\u0101 tu! Es m\u012blu tevi, Olga!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olga nolai\u017e acis, lai aizpog\u0101tu mazul\u012btes jaci\u0146as podzi\u0146as…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arv\u012bds dzi\u013ci ievelk elpu un atver acis, sirds saraujas. Olga…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146\u0161 no jauna piever acis…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOlga! Pagaidi, Olga, es tik \u0101tri nevaru paskriet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavasara diena ir r\u0113na, bet pat\u012bkama, spo\u017ea p\u0113cpusdienas saule joproj\u0101m \u0146irb kokos, kad Olga, ko k\u0101jas nes skrien, lai patvertos aiz liel\u0101 ozola. Teju simts gadus vecs, tas st\u0101v \u0161eit majest\u0101tistisks un dz\u012bves gudrs, noskatoties abu b\u0113rnu rota\u013c\u0101. Par b\u0113rniem t\u0101 \u012bsti gan vi\u0146us vairs nosaukt nevar, savos \u010detrpadsmit gados Olga un Arv\u012bds ir jau gana pieaugu\u0161i, lai sen\u0101 b\u0113rnu dienu draudz\u012bba p\u0101rtaptu nopietn\u0101k\u0101s j\u016bt\u0101s. Stund\u0101m ilgi vi\u0146i var kop\u0101 gatavot stundas, m\u0113t\u0101t akmenti\u0146us tuv\u0113j\u0101 up\u012bt\u0113, run\u0101t par izlas\u012btaj\u0101m gr\u0101mat\u0101m, vai doties pastaig\u0101s par lauku, v\u0113rojot kov\u0101r\u0146u pulc\u0113\u0161anos un sav\u0101do klaig\u0101\u0161anu. Tagad, pavasar\u012b, tie k\u013cuva sevi\u0161\u0137i akt\u012bvi, pulc\u0113joties baros, lai pier\u0101d\u012btu sevi un c\u012bn\u012btos par savu vietu teritorij\u0101. Melni un sp\u012bd\u012bgi tie lepni staig\u0101 pa tuk\u0161o, v\u0113l za\u013cot nes\u0101ku\u0161o p\u013cavu, v\u0113r\u012bgi p\u0113t\u012bdami apk\u0101rtni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiz vi\u0146i uziet alu ar jaundzimu\u0161ajiem laps\u0113niem, tas ir pats vasaras s\u0101kums, kad laps\u0113ni ir jau nedaudz apv\u0113lu\u0161ies un pirmo reizi par\u0101d\u012bju\u0161ies \u0101r\u0101 no tum\u0161\u0101 midze\u0146a r\u012bta piesaul\u012bt\u0113.

\u201cPaskaties, laps\u0113ni! N\u0101c, gribu redz\u0113t tos tuv\u0101k!\u201d Olga velk Arv\u012bdu aiz rokas uz to pusi, kur p\u012bkst un ros\u0101s maz\u0101s rad\u012bbi\u0146as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLab\u0101k neiesim tur, tas ir b\u012bstami- laik\u0101, kad laps\u0101m ir mazu\u013ci, vi\u0146as m\u0113dz b\u016bt agres\u012bvas\u201d Arv\u012bds m\u0113\u0123ina meiteni atrun\u0101t, bet Olga izravjas un skrien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOlga, uzmanies, n\u0101c atpaka\u013c!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u0113ns pasp\u0113jis uzr\u0101pties vien l\u012bdz pus nog\u0101zei, kad piepe\u0161i no alas par\u0101d\u0101s balts astes gals, tai sekoja sarkani oran\u017ea mugura-izdzird\u0113jusi troksni, lapsas m\u0101t\u012bte izn\u0101kusi aizst\u0101v\u0113t savu teritoriju un mazu\u013cus.

Tagad Arv\u012bds ir kl\u0101t, vi\u0146\u0161 pa\u0137er meiteni pie rokas un vi\u0146i skrien p\u0101ri laukam. Tikai pie pa\u0161\u0101m m\u0101j\u0101m, vi\u0146i aizelsu\u0161ies apst\u0101jas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Br\u012bdi vi\u0146u skatieni sastopas un kav\u0113jas viens pie otra. Arv\u012bds nemaz t\u0101 \u012bsti nesaprot, k\u0101 tas notiek, kad vi\u0146\u0161 noliecas un uzspie\u017e siltas l\u016bpas vi\u0146as l\u016bp\u0101m \u0161aj\u0101 v\u0113saj\u0101 rudens dien\u0101, kas virmo ap vi\u0146iem. Olga nedaudz atraujas un izbr\u012bn\u012bta skat\u0101s, bet vi\u0146as ac\u012bs Arv\u012bds, \u0161\u0137iet, var ko saskat\u012bt….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arv\u012bds atver acis v\u0113lreiz. P\u0101r vaigiem pl\u016bst asaras, vi\u0146a dv\u0113sele \u0161onakt ir p\u0101rpild\u012bta ar visu to, kas tur kr\u0101jies tr\u012bsdesmit gadus. Tas ir aizvainojums, t\u0101s ir \u0161aubu un nezi\u0146as \u0113nas, bet tas ir ar\u012b prieks un bezgal\u012bga m\u012blest\u012bba, kuru vi\u0146\u0161 juta pret Olgu un, kuru vi\u0146\u0161 j\u016bt v\u0113l joproj\u0101m un m\u012blest\u012bba pret Intu- vien\u012bgo, kas vi\u0146am palicis. Smagums, ko vi\u0146\u0161 sev\u012b tur\u0113jis, tagad lau\u017eas \u0101r\u0101 k\u0101 ledus up\u0113, kas liek \u016bdens l\u012bmenim celties, kad k\u0101ds sp\u0113ks to salau\u017e un liek pl\u016bst pa straumi uz j\u016bru. T\u0101 Arv\u012bda dv\u0113sel\u0113 \u0161onakt skalojas emociju un atmi\u0146u sajaukums.
