L\u0113n\u0101m piec\u0113los un uzs\u0113dos motocikleta aizmugur\u0113.

Sems pagr\u0101ba rokasspr\u0101dzi un m\u0113s metamies b\u0113gt, bet tirgot\u0101js bija ar\u012b izveic\u012bgs-vi\u0146\u0161 dzin\u0101s mums paka\u013c cauri tirgum, kad piesteidz\u0101s ar\u012b apsargi.

Haritija bija paman\u012bjusies izlav\u012bties viena no pirmaj\u0101m, lai nozustu neviena nepaman\u012bta, bet kad vi\u0146a jau bija non\u0101kusi pie v\u0101rtiem, vi\u0146a dzird\u0113ja Aliju Havesu saucam nopaka\u013c:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taj\u0101 dien\u0101, kad Haritija bija par\u0101d\u012bjusi vi\u0146am ce\u013cu uz pamesto m\u0101ju, vi\u0146\u0161 bija sasai\u0146ojis savas mantas un atst\u0101jis Krestonas upi, bet jau pirmaj\u0101 stacij\u0101 vi\u0146\u0161 bija iek\u0101pis vilcien\u0101 un uzk\u0101pis kalnos.

Ar da\u013cu no saviem ietaup\u012bjumiem vi\u0146a m\u0113nesi bija no\u012br\u0113jusi velosip\u0113du, un katru dienu p\u0113c pusdien\u0101m, tikl\u012bdz Rojala kungs dev\u0101s uz savu biroju, vi\u0146a uzk\u0101pa uz velosip\u0113da un trauc\u0101s pa Krestonas ce\u013cu, uz vi\u0146u satik\u0161an\u0101s vietu. Vi\u0146a, protams, lieliski apzin\u0101j\u0101s, ka Rojala kungs, t\u0101pat k\u0101 p\u0101r\u0113jie \u0161eit-Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101- zina, ka vi\u0146a to izmanto, bet Haritijai tas vairs bija vienaldz\u012bgi. Protams, ja vi\u0146\u0161 b\u016btu s\u0101cis to izjaut\u0101t, vi\u0146a b\u016btu izst\u0101st\u012bjusi taisn\u012bbu, ta\u010du kop\u0161 t\u0101s nakts N\u0101trtonas ost\u0101, vi\u0146i nebija sarun\u0101ju\u0161ies. Vi\u0146\u0161 bija atgriezies Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101 tikai tre\u0161aj\u0101 dien\u0101 p\u0113c \u0161\u012bs tik\u0161an\u0101s, ierodoties tie\u0161i tad, kad Haritija un Verena vakari\u0146oja. Vi\u0146\u0161 bija izvilcis savu kr\u0113slu, pa\u0146\u0113mis salveti no atvilktnes un aps\u0113dies pie galda kop\u0101 ar vi\u0146\u0101m, lai pavakari\u0146otu t\u0101, it k\u0101 nekas no t\u0101, kas bija norisin\u0101jies \u0161aj\u0101s dien\u0101s, t\u012bri vienk\u0101r\u0161i neb\u016btu bijis un tas bija licies tik dab\u012bgi. Vi\u0146am ien\u0101kot, Haritija nebija pac\u0113lusi acis, lai sasveicin\u0101tos ar ien\u0101c\u0113ju, ko vaic\u0101tu, vai \u013cautu vi\u0146am ko pateikt un t\u0101pat atst\u0101jusi galdu, kam\u0113r vi\u0146\u0161 v\u0113l \u0113da. Kop\u0161 atgrie\u0161an\u0101s, vi\u0146am bija izveidojies d\u012bvains paradums ska\u013ci sarun\u0101ties ar Ver\u0113nu, kad Haritija bija sav\u0101 istab\u0101 un var\u0113ja to dzirdt, bet cit\u0101di vi\u0146u attiec\u012bbas nemain\u012bj\u0101s un neuzlaboj\u0101s. Haritija cent\u0101s par to nedom\u0101t, gaidot tur H\u0101rniju, tom\u0113r tas palika k\u0101 dr\u016bms fons vi\u0146as pr\u0101t\u0101 ar\u012b taj\u0101s da\u017e\u0101s zelta stund\u0101s, kuras vi\u0146i \u0161eit pavad\u012bja kop\u0101. Kop\u0101 ar H\u0101rniju vi\u0146a sp\u0113ja aizmirst itin visu uz pasaules, vi\u0146\u0161 to bija aizvedis proj\u0101m uz jaunu pasauli, kur vi\u0146a burtiskai k\u013cuva nereredzama p\u0101r\u0113jiem. T\u0101 vi\u0146ai s\u0113\u017eot, saule aiz dr\u016bm\u0101 kalna bija jau noriet\u0113jusi, no gan\u012bb\u0101m, aug\u0161up pa nog\u0101zi atskan\u0113ja govju zvanu ska\u0146as un no saimniec\u012bbas \u0113k\u0101m vakar\u012bgaj\u0101s debes\u012bs aug\u0161up pac\u0113l\u0101s d\u016bmu mutu\u013ci.

Tovakar Haritija bija aizkav\u0113jusies un atgriez\u0101s m\u0101j\u0101s v\u0113l\u0101k nek\u0101 parasti, t\u0101d\u0113\u013c vi\u0146a nevis brauca uz bibliot\u0113ku, lai atst\u0101tu tur velosip\u0113du, k\u0101 parasti, bet t\u016bda\u013c atgriez\u0101s m\u0101j\u0101s un, iest\u016bmusi velosip\u0113du \u0161\u0137\u016bn\u012bt\u012b aiz m\u0101jas, dev\u0101s uz virtuvi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verena k\u0101 vienm\u0113r, s\u0113d\u0113ja sav\u0101 viet\u0101 un, Haritijai ien\u0101kot, vi\u0146a, tikai br\u012bdi velt\u012bja vi\u0146ai maigu, bet neizdibin\u0101mu skatienu, tad piec\u0113l\u0101s un, pa\u0146\u0113musi \u0161\u0137\u012bvi un gl\u0101zi ar pienu, t\u0101pat klus\u0113jot nolika tos Haritijai priek\u0161\u0101 uz galda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija aps\u0113d\u0101s un \u0137\u0113r\u0101s pie sava p\u012br\u0101ga un piena gl\u0101zes, tagad p\u0113c me\u017e\u0101 pavad\u012bt\u0101s dienas, vi\u0146a piepe\u0161i sajuta izsalkumu. Vi\u0146as seja joproj\u0101m dega un acis \u017eilbin\u0101ja virtuves lampas spo\u017eums. P\u0113c reibino\u0161\u0101s br\u012bv\u012bbas saj\u016btas, kuru vi\u0146a \u0161odien bija izbaud\u012bjusi, tagad vi\u0146a jut\u0101s k\u0101 nakts putns, kas p\u0113k\u0161\u0146i no\u0137erts un ievietots b\u016br\u012b. Dom\u0101s vi\u0146a joproj\u0101m bija me\u017e\u0101 kop\u0101 ar H\u0101rniju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Vi\u0146\u0161 nav atgriezies kop\u0161 vakari\u0146\u0101m!” Verena beidzot p\u0101rtrauca klusumu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija neatbild\u0113ja, vi\u0146a mazg\u0101ja \u0161\u0137\u012bvi un gl\u0101zi un dev\u0101s aug\u0161\u0101. Kad Haritija atv\u0113ra durvis uz istabu, br\u012bdi vi\u0146a palika sastingusi izbr\u012bn\u0101- vi\u0146a skaidri atcer\u0113j\u0101s, ka aizv\u0113rusi sl\u0113\u0123us, lai ne\u013cautu p\u0113cpusdienas karstumam iek\u013c\u016bt istab\u0101, tagad tie bija da\u013c\u0113ji atv\u0113rti un pa br\u012bvo loga da\u013cu istab\u0101 iesp\u012bd\u0113ja m\u0113ness, t\u0101 stari krita vi\u0146as gult\u0101, uz kuras gul\u0113ja kleita, kura darin\u0101ta no \u0136\u012bnas z\u012bda, m\u0113ness gaism\u0101, t\u0101 laist\u012bj\u0101s neapstr\u0101d\u0101t\u0101 baltum\u0101. Iesp\u0113jams, Haritija bija izt\u0113r\u0113jusi vair\u0101k naudas, lai to ieg\u0101d\u0101tos, nek\u0101 paties\u012bb\u0101 b\u016btu var\u0113jusi at\u013cauties, bet vi\u0146a grib\u0113ja par\u0101d\u012bt visai Zieme\u013cdorm\u0113rai r\u012btdienas pas\u0101kum\u0101, ka ar to vi\u0146a ir H\u0101rnija cien\u012bga. Virs kleitas, kas saloc\u012bta gul\u0113ja uz spilvena, bija balts pl\u012bvurs, ko jaun\u0101s sievietes n\u0113s\u0101ja zem astru vainaga, un blakus pl\u012bvuram p\u0101ris baltas sat\u012bna kurpes, ko Alija bija izgatavojusi no vecas ce\u013casomas, kur\u0101 vi\u0146a glab\u0101ja nosl\u0113pumainus d\u0101rgumus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija st\u0101v\u0113ja un skat\u012bj\u0101s uz visu \u0161o baltumu un tas vi\u0146ai atg\u0101din\u0101ja v\u012bziju, kas pie vi\u0146as bija atn\u0101kusi taj\u0101 nakt\u012b p\u0113c pirm\u0101s tik\u0161an\u0101s ar H\u0101rniju. Tagad vi\u0146ai vairs nebija \u0161\u0101du v\u012bziju… daudz liel\u0101kas un noz\u012bm\u012bg\u0101kas v\u012bzijas bija t\u0101s aizpl\u012bvuroju\u0161as, bet, vi\u0146aspr\u0101t, tas bija mu\u013c\u0137\u012bgi no Allijas- izlikt visas \u0161\u012bs balt\u0101s lietas uz vi\u0146as gultas, tie\u0161i t\u0101pat, k\u0101 Hatijas Targats k\u0101zu kleita bija izlikta kaimi\u0146u ac\u012bm pirms vi\u0146as k\u0101z\u0101m ar Tomu Fr\u012bdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija pa\u0146\u0113ma sat\u012bna kurpes un ar interesi t\u0101s apgroz\u012bja rok\u0101s- ja dien\u0101 t\u0101s b\u016btu izskat\u012bju\u0161\u0101s tikpat baltas k\u0101 kleita, tagad, m\u0113ness gaism\u0101, t\u0101s bija ieguvu\u0161as zilo\u0146kaula nokr\u0101su. Vi\u0146a aps\u0113d\u0101s uz gr\u012bdas, lai t\u0101s piem\u0113rotu un, k\u0101 izr\u0101d\u012bj\u0101s, t\u0101s pieg\u016bla vi\u0146as k\u0101j\u0101m vienk\u0101r\u0161i lieliski. Vi\u0146a nekad iepriek\u0161 nebija redz\u0113jusi \u0161\u0101das kurpes, pat N\u0101trtonas veikalu skatlogos… Nekad, iz\u0146emot… j\u0101, reiz vi\u0146a bija paman\u012bjusi t\u0101das pa\u0161as Annabellai Bal\u010dai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija piepe\u0161i piesarka no \u0161\u012bs domas. Vi\u0146a zin\u0101ja, ka Allija da\u017ereiz m\u0113dza \u0161o un to Bal\u010das jaunkundzei sa\u0161\u016bt, kad \u0161\u012b, vi\u0146aspr\u0101t, c\u0113l\u0101 un neaizsniedzam\u0101 person\u012bba ierad\u0101s \u0161eit Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101 un ar\u012b to, ka vi\u0146a pie\u0146\u0113ma no cilv\u0113kiem, kuriem vi\u0146a \u0161uva, to nevajadz\u012bg\u0101s lietas, t\u0101tad, nevar\u0113ja b\u016bt \u0161aubas, ka ar\u012b \u0161\u012bs kurpes patie\u0161\u0101m ir no pa\u0161as Annabellas Bal\u010das.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146as domu lidojumu p\u0101rtrauca tr\u012bsk\u0101r\u0161s velosip\u0113da zvans zem loga. Tas bija H\u0101rnija slepenais sign\u0101ls, kad vi\u0146\u0161 dev\u0101s atpaka\u013cce\u013c\u0101 uz m\u0101j\u0101m.
