Mendova se do t\u2019i kaloja vitet e mia t\u00eb arta t\u00eb rrethuara nga familja, jo duke fjetur n\u00eb nj\u00eb krevat f\u00ebmij\u00ebsh n\u00eb nj\u00eb streh\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb pastreh\u00ebt. Por pik\u00ebllimi ka nj\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb zbuluar t\u00eb v\u00ebrteta \u2013 dhe sekrete \u2013 q\u00eb nuk i parashikova kurr\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Emri im \u00ebsht\u00eb Helen dhe jam 72 vje\u00e7. N\u00ebse do t\u00eb m\u00eb kishe th\u00ebn\u00eb 10 vjet m\u00eb par\u00eb se nj\u00eb dit\u00eb do t\u00eb flija n\u00eb nj\u00eb krevat t\u00eb ngusht\u00eb n\u00eb nj\u00eb streh\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb moshuar, do t\u00eb t\u00eb kisha qeshur n\u00eb fytyr\u00eb dhe do t\u00eb t\u00eb kisha mbushur me nj\u00eb filxhan kafe nga kuzhina ime komode. Por jeta \u00ebsht\u00eb qesharake k\u00ebshtu. T\u00eb merr gjith\u00e7ka q\u00eb do, ta heq n\u00eb heshtje dhe pret t\u00eb shoh\u00eb n\u00ebse do t\u00eb ngrihesh p\u00ebrs\u00ebri.<\/p>\n
Jeta ime dikur ishte e mbushur plot. Kisha nj\u00eb djal\u00eb, Markun, i cili ishte drita e jet\u00ebs sime. Dhe kisha Xhorxhin, bashk\u00ebshortin tim, i cili nd\u00ebrtoi sht\u00ebpin\u00eb ton\u00eb familjare me duart e tij. Ai vend \u2013 \u00e7do hap q\u00eb k\u00ebrciste, \u00e7do grop\u00eb n\u00eb kangjella \u2013 ishte plot kujtime.<\/p>\n
Ne e rrit\u00ebm Markun atje, organizuam dit\u00eblindje, vajtuam humbjet dhe festuam fitoret e vogla me \u00e7aj dhe buk\u00eb misri t\u00eb dielave pasdite.<\/p>\n
Pastaj George nd\u00ebrroi jet\u00eb nga kanceri. Un\u00eb ia mbaja dor\u00ebn gjat\u00eb \u00e7do trajtimi, \u00e7do nat\u00eb t\u00eb gjat\u00eb kur ai nuk flinte dot.<\/p>\n
Pasi ai u largua, heshtja n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi ishte m\u00eb e zhurmshme se \u00e7do gj\u00eb q\u00eb kisha njohur ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb. U p\u00ebrpoqa t\u00eb q\u00ebndroja, me t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00eb, por dimrat b\u00ebheshin m\u00eb t\u00eb hidhur \u00e7do vit, dhe k\u00ebshtu b\u00ebnte edhe vetmia.<\/p>\n
\u00c7do cep m\u00eb kujtonte burrin tim t\u00eb ndjer\u00eb. Karrigia e tij pran\u00eb dritares, filxhani i tij i preferuar n\u00eb banak dhe gum\u00ebzhima e leht\u00eb e z\u00ebrit t\u00eb tij \u00e7do m\u00ebngjes nd\u00ebrsa lexonte gazet\u00ebn. Sht\u00ebpia ishte e vjet\u00ebr, plot me dysheme q\u00eb k\u00ebrcisnin dhe kujtime.<\/p>\n
Gjunj\u00ebt e mi nuk ishin m\u00eb ato q\u00eb ishin m\u00eb par\u00eb, dhe shkall\u00ebt b\u00ebheshin m\u00eb t\u00eb pjerr\u00ebta me kalimin e dit\u00ebs.<\/p>\n
Marku ishte zhvendosur n\u00eb qytet n\u00eb at\u00eb koh\u00eb me gruan e tij, Laur\u00ebn, dhe dy f\u00ebmij\u00ebt e tyre.<\/p>\n
Kur ai m\u00eb telefonoi nj\u00eb mbr\u00ebmje dhe tha: \u201cMami, nuk duhet t\u00eb rrish vet\u00ebm. Eja t\u00eb jetosh me ne. Ka shum\u00eb vend. F\u00ebmij\u00ebve do t\u2019u p\u00eblqej\u00eb shum\u00eb t\u00eb t\u00eb ken\u00eb, dhe un\u00eb dhe Laura do t\u00eb ndiheshim m\u00eb mir\u00eb duke e ditur se je e sigurt\u201d, un\u00eb gati sa nuk thash\u00eb jo.<\/p>\n
Un\u00eb dhe nusja ime (E dashura ime) kishim qen\u00eb gjithmon\u00eb t\u00eb p\u00ebrzem\u00ebrta, kurr\u00eb t\u00eb af\u00ebrta, por i thash\u00eb vetes se do t\u00eb ishte ndryshe me f\u00ebmij\u00ebt p\u00ebrreth. Do t\u00eb kisha p\u00ebrs\u00ebri nj\u00eb q\u00ebllim, k\u00ebshtu q\u00eb u dor\u00ebzova. P\u00ebrve\u00e7 k\u00ebsaj, sh\u00ebndeti im nuk m\u00eb lejonte t\u00eb jetoja m\u00eb vet\u00ebm.<\/p>\n
Shitja e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb ishte gj\u00ebja m\u00eb e v\u00ebshtir\u00eb q\u00eb kisha b\u00ebr\u00eb ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb. Qava dit\u00ebn q\u00eb ua dor\u00ebzova \u00e7el\u00ebsat pronar\u00ebve t\u00eb rinj. Ajo sht\u00ebpi mbante m\u00eb shum\u00eb sesa mobilje; mbante 40 vjet me George-in, vitet e mia si n\u00ebn\u00eb dhe krenarin\u00eb time.<\/p>\n
Por e binda veten se parat\u00eb do t\u00eb m\u00eb ndihmonin t\u00eb nd\u00ebrtoja di\u00e7ka t\u00eb re \u2013 nj\u00eb jet\u00eb t\u00eb p\u00ebrbashk\u00ebt me familjen time.<\/p>\n
Nuk e imagjinova kurr\u00eb se do t\u00eb isha un\u00eb ai q\u00eb do t\u00eb nxirrej nga kjo gjendje.<\/p>\n
Pothuajse t\u00eb gjitha parat\u00eb nga shitja e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb sime t\u00eb vjet\u00ebr shkuan direkt n\u00eb rinovimin e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb s\u00eb Markut dhe Laur\u00ebs. Dhoma e mysafir\u00ebve kishte nevoj\u00eb p\u00ebr riparime, kuzhina ishte e ngusht\u00eb, \u00e7atia pikonte dhe oborri i sht\u00ebpis\u00eb dukej si xhung\u00ebl.<\/p>\n
Un\u00eb dhe Marku zgjodh\u00ebm ngjyrat e boj\u00ebs s\u00eb bashku. Ai buz\u00ebqeshi dhe tha: \u201cPo e b\u00ebjm\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb sht\u00ebpi nj\u00eb sht\u00ebpi p\u00ebr t\u00eb gjith\u00eb ne.\u201d<\/p>\n
Un\u00eb i besova, sepse doja.<\/p>\n
Gjat\u00eb dy viteve t\u00eb para, gj\u00ebrat nuk shkuan keq. Ndihmoja me f\u00ebmij\u00ebt, laja rrobat dhe mbaja dark\u00ebn gati. Laura nuk m\u00eb fal\u00ebnderoi kurr\u00eb v\u00ebrtet, por nuk e prisja q\u00eb ta b\u00ebnte.<\/p>\n
Megjithat\u00eb, e pash\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00ebn se si m\u00eb shikonte, sikur t\u00eb isha nj\u00eb mobilje e vjet\u00ebr q\u00eb vinte bashk\u00eb me sht\u00ebpin\u00eb. Di\u00e7ka q\u00eb e mbaje me vete derisa t\u00eb b\u00ebhej e pap\u00ebrshtatshme.<\/p>\n
Marku ishte gjithmon\u00eb i \u00ebmb\u00ebl, por ose nuk e vinte re sjelljen e gruas s\u00eb tij, ose nuk donte ta vinte re. Ai punonte me or\u00eb t\u00eb gjata, por prap\u00eb ulej me mua n\u00eb tryez\u00ebn e kuzhin\u00ebs pasi f\u00ebmij\u00ebt shkonin p\u00ebr t\u00eb fjetur.<\/p>\n
Ai pinte nj\u00eb gll\u00ebnjk\u00eb \u00e7aji, f\u00ebrkonte qaf\u00ebn dhe thoshte: \u201cNuk e di \u00e7far\u00eb do t\u00eb b\u00ebja pa ty, mami.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ato momente ia vlenin gjith\u00e7kaje.<\/p>\n
Edhe f\u00ebmij\u00ebt m\u00eb donin shum\u00eb. M\u00eb th\u00ebrrisnin gjyshe Helen dhe m\u00eb b\u00ebnin t\u00eb ndihesha sikur i p\u00ebrkasja dikujt. B\u00ebm\u00eb festa vall\u00ebzimi n\u00eb dhom\u00ebn e ndenjes, nd\u00ebrtuam k\u00ebshtjella nga jast\u00ebk\u00ebt e divanit dhe piqnim biskota t\u00eb pjerr\u00ebta q\u00eb i b\u00ebnin t\u00eb qeshnin aq shum\u00eb sa rr\u00ebzoheshin.<\/p>\n
Por me kalimin e koh\u00ebs, toni i Laur\u00ebs u b\u00eb m\u00eb i ftoht\u00eb. N\u00eb fillim, ishin gj\u00ebra t\u00eb vogla.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelen, a nuk mund t\u2019i l\u00ebsh en\u00ebt n\u00eb lavaman?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHelen, f\u00ebmij\u00ebt jan\u00eb shum\u00eb t\u00eb shqet\u00ebsuar pasi i le t\u00eb han\u00eb \u00ebmb\u00eblsira.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHelen, mos i palos k\u00ebmishat e Markut k\u00ebshtu.\u201d<\/p>\n
E shp\u00ebrfilla. Ishte n\u00ebn presion, i thash\u00eb vetes. Firma e saj ligjore e kishte t\u00eb hapur n\u00eb t\u00eb gjith\u00eb shtetin. Mendova se ishte thjesht e lodhur nga puna deri von\u00eb, ndoshta edhe xheloze p\u00ebr sa shum\u00eb m\u00eb lidheshin f\u00ebmij\u00ebt.<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb mbr\u00ebmje, ajo u kthye n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi her\u00ebt dhe na pa t\u00eb gjith\u00ebve duke k\u00ebrcyer n\u00eb kuzhin\u00eb me nj\u00eb album t\u00eb Motown. F\u00ebmij\u00ebt po qeshnin, duke mbajtur lug\u00eb druri si mikrofon\u00eb, dhe un\u00eb po i rrotulloja sikur t\u00eb ishim n\u00eb sken\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Laura q\u00ebndronte te dera, me krah\u00ebt e kryq\u00ebzuar, syt\u00eb si akull. \u201cDo t\u2019i prish\u00ebsh,\u201d tha ajo prer\u00eb. \u201cJeta nuk \u00ebsht\u00eb vet\u00ebm arg\u00ebtim dhe loj\u00ebra.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pas k\u00ebsaj, ajo filloi t\u00eb vinte n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi gjithnj\u00eb e m\u00eb her\u00ebt. Ajo i nd\u00ebrpriste p\u00ebrrallat para gjumit dhe i korrigjonte f\u00ebmij\u00ebt para meje. Laura madje b\u00ebnte pyetje pasivo-agresive si: \u201cA nuk mendon se \u00ebsht\u00eb koha q\u00eb ata t\u00eb ndalojn\u00eb s\u00eb varuri kaq shum\u00eb nga ty?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marku nuk tha shum\u00eb; ai gjithmon\u00eb ngecte n\u00eb mes. Nuk doja kurr\u00eb q\u00eb ai t\u00eb ndihej sikur duhej t\u00eb zgjidhte nj\u00eb an\u00eb, k\u00ebshtu q\u00eb buz\u00ebqesha gjat\u00eb gjith\u00eb k\u00ebsaj.<\/p>\n
Pastaj gjith\u00e7ka ndryshoi.<\/p>\n
Ishte nj\u00eb e enjte vjeshte. M\u00eb kujtohet sepse sapo kisha nxjerr\u00eb buk\u00ebn me banane nga furra kur ra telefoni. I fshiva duart me nj\u00eb peshqir kuzhine dhe e mora, duke pritur nj\u00eb telefonat\u00eb nga shkolla.<\/p>\n
N\u00eb vend t\u00eb k\u00ebsaj, d\u00ebgjova z\u00ebrin e nj\u00eb burri.<\/p>\n
\u201cZonja Harris?\u201d tha ai but\u00ebsisht. \u201cJam oficeri Grant. Kam frik\u00eb se ka ndodhur nj\u00eb aksident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gjunj\u00ebt m\u00eb u drodh\u00ebn dhe zemra m\u2019u b\u00eb cop\u00eb-cop\u00eb. Markun e kishin goditur n\u00eb autostrad\u00eb. Nj\u00eb kamion shp\u00ebrndarjeje doli n\u00eb korsin\u00eb e tij.<\/p>\n
Ata than\u00eb se ishte e shpejt\u00eb, se ai nuk vuajti.<\/p>\n
Nuk i besoja \u2014 jo sepse mendoja se po g\u00ebnjenin, por sepse refuzoja t\u00eb pranoja nj\u00eb bot\u00eb ku djali im mund t\u00eb ishte k\u00ebtu n\u00eb m\u00ebngjes dhe t\u00eb zhdukej n\u00eb muzg.<\/p>\n
Laura b\u00ebrtiti kur mori telefonat\u00ebn. F\u00ebmij\u00ebt nuk e kuptuan. Ata vazhdonin t\u00eb pyesnin se kur do t\u00eb kthehej babi n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi.<\/p>\n
I kalova dit\u00ebt n\u00eb vijim duke i mbajtur ato n\u00eb krah\u00eb, duke hapur der\u00ebn dhe duke u p\u00ebrpjekur t\u00eb mos shembesha n\u00ebn pesh\u00ebn e pik\u00ebllimit tim.<\/p>\n
Funerali ishte nj\u00eb turbullir\u00eb. Miqt\u00eb, koleg\u00ebt e pun\u00ebs, fqinj\u00ebt e djalit tim \u2013 t\u00eb gjith\u00eb thoshin t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtat gj\u00ebra.<\/p>\n
\u201cAi ishte nj\u00eb njeri kaq i mir\u00eb.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAi e donte shum\u00eb familjen e tij.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ai e b\u00ebri. Ai v\u00ebrtet e b\u00ebri.<\/p>\n
Pas k\u00ebsaj, nuk kaloi shum\u00eb koh\u00eb para se Laura t\u00eb ndryshonte.<\/p>\n
Ndodhi vet\u00ebm pak dit\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb. Hidh\u00ebrimi i saj u ftoh. Ajo nuk qau m\u00eb dhe as nuk m\u00eb shikoi. N\u00eb vend t\u00eb k\u00ebsaj, ajo u p\u00ebrqendrua te hipoteka, dokumentet e sigurimit dhe sh\u00ebrbimet e shp\u00ebrndarjes s\u00eb ushqimit.<\/p>\n
U p\u00ebrpoqa t\u00eb q\u00ebndroja larg saj.<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb nat\u00eb, e d\u00ebgjova n\u00eb telefon n\u00eb korridor. Z\u00ebri i saj ishte i mpreht\u00eb dhe i lodhur.<\/p>\n
\u201cNuk mund ta b\u00ebj k\u00ebt\u00eb me t\u00eb ende k\u00ebtu. \u00cbsht\u00eb sikur ajo m\u00eb kujton gjith\u00e7ka q\u00eb kam humbur.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fjal\u00ebt m\u00eb godit\u00ebn n\u00eb bark.<\/p>\n
Megjithat\u00eb, q\u00ebndrova\u2014p\u00ebr hir t\u00eb f\u00ebmij\u00ebve. Ata kishin nevoj\u00eb p\u00ebr mua. Ose ndoshta un\u00eb kisha nevoj\u00eb p\u00ebr ta.<\/p>\n
Por nj\u00eb jav\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb, Laura m\u00eb uli pas dark\u00ebs. Ajo nuk e kishte prekur ushqimin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelen,\u201d tha ajo me z\u00eb t\u00eb ul\u00ebt, \u201cmendoj se \u00ebsht\u00eb koha.\u201d<\/p>\n
I mbylla syt\u00eb. \u201cKoha p\u00ebr \u00e7far\u00eb?\u201d \u201cKam koh\u00eb p\u00ebr \u00e7far\u00eb?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo pastroi fytin. \u201cKoha p\u00ebr ndryshim. Ke b\u00ebr\u00eb shum\u00eb. E di q\u00eb kjo nuk \u00ebsht\u00eb e leht\u00eb, por mendoj se \u00ebsht\u00eb m\u00eb mir\u00eb \u2013 p\u00ebr t\u00eb gjith\u00eb ne \u2013 n\u00ebse do t\u00eb largohesh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nuk mund t\u00eb flisja. M\u00eb u mbyll fyti. P\u00ebshp\u00ebrita: \u201cLaura, kjo \u00ebsht\u00eb edhe sht\u00ebpia ime. T\u00eb dhash\u00eb gjith\u00e7ka nga shitja e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb sime.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo nuk u drodh. \u201cKy ishte vendimi yt. Nuk kishe pse ta b\u00ebje k\u00ebt\u00eb. Por nuk mund t\u00eb q\u00ebndrosh m\u00eb k\u00ebtu, Helen. Sht\u00ebpia \u00ebsht\u00eb shum\u00eb e mbushur me njer\u00ebz. Dua t\u00eb jetoj vet\u00ebm me f\u00ebmij\u00ebt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ja ku ishte, e ftoht\u00eb dhe p\u00ebrbuz\u00ebse. Sikur t\u00eb isha nj\u00eb qiramarr\u00ebs q\u00eb kishte q\u00ebndruar m\u00eb shum\u00eb se \u00e7\u2019duhej.<\/p>\n
Kur u p\u00ebrpoqa t\u00eb protestoja, ajo u ngrit dhe doli nga dhoma.<\/p>\n
Nuk fjeta at\u00eb nat\u00eb, duke qar\u00eb me t\u00eb madhe.<\/p>\n
T\u00eb nes\u00ebrmen n\u00eb m\u00ebngjes d\u00ebgjova nj\u00eb zhurm\u00eb dhe, kur zbrita posht\u00eb, pash\u00eb q\u00eb Laura kishte paketuar valixhet e mia; ato po m\u00eb prisnin te dera!<\/p>\n
\u201cUn\u00eb i paketova gj\u00ebrat e tua dhe kam thirrur nj\u00eb taksi. Do t\u00eb jet\u00eb k\u00ebtu p\u00ebr 10 minuta,\u201d tha ajo thjesht.<\/p>\n
\u201cZem\u00ebr, si mund ta thuash k\u00ebt\u00eb? Nuk kam ku t\u00eb shkoj\u2026\u201d Z\u00ebri im dridhej.<\/p>\n
\u201cT\u00eb jetosh k\u00ebtu ka qen\u00eb gjithmon\u00eb ideja e Markut. Nuk do ta duroj m\u00eb tej,\u201d u p\u00ebrgjigj ajo.<\/p>\n
Ajo nuk m\u00eb tha lamtumir\u00eb. As nuk u tha f\u00ebmij\u00ebve se po largohesha. U thash\u00eb se do t\u00eb shkoja p\u00ebr nj\u00eb koh\u00eb te nj\u00eb mik i vjet\u00ebr.<\/p>\n
Ishte nj\u00eb g\u00ebnjesht\u00ebr. Por nuk do t\u00eb mund ta duroja dot t\u2019ua shihja fytyrat edhe n\u00ebse e dinin t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00ebn.<\/p>\n
Udh\u00ebtimi me taksi ishte i qet\u00eb. Kur shoferi m\u00eb pyeti se ku po shkoja, p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb n\u00eb jet\u00ebn time kuptova se nuk kisha p\u00ebrgjigje. M\u00eb n\u00eb fund, thash\u00eb: \u201cM\u00eb \u00e7o n\u00eb streh\u00ebn m\u00eb t\u00eb af\u00ebrt p\u00ebr t\u00eb moshuarit\u201d. Fjal\u00ebt m\u00eb dukeshin t\u00eb huaja n\u00eb goj\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Streha ishte e past\u00ebr, por mbante er\u00eb t\u00eb leht\u00eb zbardhuesi dhe linoleumi t\u00eb konsumuar. M\u00eb dhan\u00eb nj\u00eb krevat f\u00ebmij\u00ebsh n\u00eb cep, nj\u00eb dollap t\u00eb p\u00ebrbashk\u00ebt dhe nj\u00eb tas me sup\u00eb t\u00eb vak\u00ebt. Nuk u ankova. Isha shum\u00eb i lodhur p\u00ebr ta b\u00ebr\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb dhe zemra po m\u00eb thyhej nga dhimbja.<\/p>\n
E mbajta valixhen pran\u00eb shtratit dhe futa nj\u00eb foto t\u00eb vog\u00ebl t\u00eb Markut dhe f\u00ebmij\u00ebve n\u00ebn jast\u00ebk. At\u00eb nat\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb, q\u00ebndrova zgjuar duke d\u00ebgjuar tingujt e kollitjes, k\u00ebrcitjen e shtret\u00ebrve dhe murmuritjet e larg\u00ebta. Nuk kisha frik\u00eb, thjesht isha bosh.<\/p>\n
Gjat\u00eb dit\u00ebve n\u00eb vijim, u sistemova n\u00eb ritmin e duhur. M\u00ebngjesi n\u00eb or\u00ebn 7 t\u00eb m\u00ebngjesit, pun\u00ebt e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb n\u00ebse doje t\u00eb ndihmoje, dritat e fikura deri n\u00eb or\u00ebn 9 t\u00eb mbr\u00ebmjes. Dola vullnetare p\u00ebr gjith\u00e7ka. Ndihmova me organizimin e qilarit, pastrimin e dyshemes\u00eb dhe palosjen e \u00e7ar\u00e7af\u00ebve.<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb m\u00ebngjes, ndihmova nj\u00eb grua t\u00eb moshuar t\u00eb gjente nj\u00eb pal\u00eb k\u00ebpuc\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjta n\u00eb koshin e donacioneve. Ajo m\u00eb shtr\u00ebngoi dor\u00ebn dhe tha: \u201cJe nj\u00eb engj\u00ebll.\u201d<\/p>\n
Buz\u00ebqesha, por brenda meje ndihesha si nj\u00eb fantazm\u00eb. Nuk dija si t\u00eb vazhdoja me jet\u00ebn time.<\/p>\n
Pastaj, nj\u00eb pasdite me shi, gjith\u00e7ka ndryshoi.<\/p>\n
Isha ulur pran\u00eb dritares n\u00eb dhom\u00ebn e p\u00ebrbashk\u00ebt, duke qepur nj\u00eb kops\u00eb n\u00eb nj\u00eb pulov\u00ebr f\u00ebmije q\u00eb dikush ia kishte dhuruar, kur u hap dera e p\u00ebrparme. D\u00ebgjova hapa, pastaj tingullin e but\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00eb karrigeje q\u00eb po t\u00ebrhiqej jasht\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb z\u00eb burri e pyeti ndihm\u00ebsin: \u201cA ka ndonj\u00eb Helen Harris k\u00ebtu?\u201d<\/p>\n
N\u00eb fillim nuk ngrita kok\u00ebn. Por pastaj e d\u00ebgjova t\u00eb p\u00ebrgjigjej: \u201cPo, \u00ebsht\u00eb pik\u00ebrisht atje, pran\u00eb dritares.\u201d<\/p>\n
U ktheva ngadal\u00eb. Nj\u00eb burr\u00eb q\u00ebndronte aty duke mbajtur nj\u00eb \u00e7ant\u00eb l\u00ebkure. Ishte i gjat\u00eb, me flok\u00eb t\u00eb past\u00ebr dhe me pamje t\u00eb shtrenjt\u00eb, me sy t\u00eb sjellsh\u00ebm q\u00eb m\u00eb studionin but\u00ebsisht. M\u00eb dukej shum\u00eb i njohur, sikur ta kisha njohur.<\/p>\n
\u201cZonja Harris?\u201d pyeti ai, duke ecur drejt meje. \u201cMund t\u00eb mos m\u00eb mbani mend. Un\u00eb jam David Collins. Kam punuar me djalin tuaj, Markun, n\u00eb firm\u00eb vite m\u00eb par\u00eb.\u201d<\/p>\n
I shkunda shpejt syt\u00eb. \u201cDavid\u2026 po! Ti vije ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb p\u00ebr dark\u00eb. Ti sillje ver\u00eb q\u00eb Laur\u00ebs nuk i p\u00eblqente kurr\u00eb dhe humbisje ndaj Markut n\u00eb shah \u00e7do her\u00eb!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ai qeshi leht\u00eb. \u201cKjo ting\u00ebllon pak a shum\u00eb e sakt\u00eb.\u201d<\/p>\n
E l\u00ebshova pulovr\u00ebn. \u201cPse je k\u00ebtu, David?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cT\u00eb kam k\u00ebrkuar. Shkova n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi, por Laura tha q\u00eb nuk do t\u00eb jetoje m\u00eb atje. Askush nuk dukej se e dinte se ku kishe shkuar. Pyeta p\u00ebrreth derisa gjeta dik\u00eb n\u00eb firm\u00eb q\u00eb mbante mend se i kishe p\u00ebrmendur dikur vullnetarizmin n\u00eb nj\u00eb streh\u00eb. Telefonova p\u00ebrreth dhe, ja ku jam.\u201d<\/p>\n
E v\u00ebshtrova, duke u p\u00ebrpjekur ende ta kuptoja. \u201cPor pse? Kan\u00eb kaluar\u2026 vite.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ai u ul p\u00ebrball\u00eb meje dhe hapi \u00e7ant\u00ebn e tij. \u201cP\u00ebr shkak t\u00eb k\u00ebsaj.\u201d Ai nxori nj\u00eb dosje t\u00eb trash\u00eb dhe nj\u00eb zarf t\u00eb mbyllur. \u201cDjali yt e la k\u00ebt\u00eb p\u00ebr ty. Ishte pjes\u00eb e pron\u00ebs s\u00eb tij private. Ai m\u00eb k\u00ebrkoi ta dor\u00ebzoja personalisht.\u201d<\/p>\n
M\u00eb u zu fryma. \u201cMarku la di\u00e7ka p\u00ebr mua?\u201d<\/p>\n
Davidi pohoi me kok\u00eb. \u201cPo. Ai krijoi nj\u00eb fondacion n\u00eb emrin t\u00ebnd. Ai nuk donte q\u00eb ti t\u00eb shqet\u00ebsoheshe kurr\u00eb p\u00ebr parat\u00eb apo sigurin\u00eb. M\u00eb tha: \u2018\u00c7far\u00ebdo q\u00eb t\u00eb ndodh\u00eb, dua q\u00eb mami im t\u00eb kujdeset p\u00ebr mua.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Tunda kok\u00ebn ngadal\u00eb, e tronditur. \u201cLaura nuk tha asnj\u00eb fjal\u00eb.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ai uli shikimin. \u201cE di. Ajo nuk ishte n\u00eb dijeni t\u00eb rr\u00ebfimit t\u00eb ve\u00e7ant\u00eb. Marku e mbajti private, me udh\u00ebzime p\u00ebr t\u00eb m\u00eb p\u00ebrfshir\u00eb mua drejtp\u00ebrdrejt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ai m\u00eb dha letrat.<\/p>\n
Duart m\u00eb dridheshin nd\u00ebrsa i hapa. Numrat m\u00eb b\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb mendoja. Ishin m\u00eb shum\u00eb para nga sa kisha imagjinuar ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb, t\u00eb mjaftueshme p\u00ebr t\u00eb jetuar rehat, ndoshta edhe p\u00ebr t\u00eb bler\u00eb nj\u00eb sht\u00ebpi t\u00eb vog\u00ebl!<\/p>\n
Lot\u00ebt m\u00eb turbulluan shikimin. E shikova Davidin. \u201cAi mendonte p\u00ebr mua. Edhe pasi ik\u00ebn, ai prap\u00eb\u2026 ai prap\u00eb m\u00eb mbrojti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Z\u00ebri i Davidit u zbut. \u201cAi ju donte shum\u00eb, znj. Harris. Ai donte t\u00eb sigurohej q\u00eb ju t\u00eb mos ishit m\u00eb kurr\u00eb t\u00eb varur nga askush.\u201d<\/p>\n
P\u00ebshp\u00ebrita, \u201cAi e dinte \u00e7far\u00eb mund t\u00eb b\u00ebnte Laura?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00abAi shpresonte q\u00eb kjo t\u00eb mos ndodhte, por u p\u00ebrgatit p\u00ebr m\u00eb t\u00eb keqen\u00bb, u p\u00ebrgjigj Davidi.<\/p>\n
Mora nj\u00eb frym\u00eb thell\u00eb\u2014nga ajo q\u00eb m\u00eb n\u00eb fund t\u00eb mbush mushk\u00ebrit\u00eb pasi ke qen\u00eb shum\u00eb gjat\u00eb n\u00ebn uj\u00eb. \u201c\u00c7far\u00eb t\u00eb b\u00ebj tani?\u201d<\/p>\n
Davidi buz\u00ebqeshi but\u00ebsisht. \u201cM\u00eb lejo t\u00eb t\u00eb ndihmoj. Do t\u00eb t\u00eb gjejm\u00eb nj\u00eb vend. Diku t\u00eb qet\u00eb, t\u00eb sigurt dhe t\u00ebndin. Diku ku m\u00eb n\u00eb fund mund t\u00eb pushosh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dhe pik\u00ebrisht k\u00ebshtu, bota filloi t\u00eb ndryshonte p\u00ebrs\u00ebri ngjyrat!<\/p>\n
Brenda pak jav\u00ebsh, Davidi rregulloi gjith\u00e7ka.<\/p>\n
U zhvendosa n\u00eb nj\u00eb vil\u00eb t\u00eb vog\u00ebl n\u00eb periferi t\u00eb qytetit. Kishte grila t\u00eb bardha, nj\u00eb verand\u00eb t\u00eb p\u00ebrparme dhe nj\u00eb kopsht t\u00eb vog\u00ebl plot me lulebore. Nat\u00ebn e par\u00eb q\u00eb fjeta atje, qava, jo sepse isha i trishtuar, por sepse m\u00eb n\u00eb fund u ndjeva i sigurt.<\/p>\n
Fillova t\u00eb mbjell tr\u00ebndafila n\u00eb oborrin e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb dhe piqa p\u00ebrs\u00ebri. Lexoja pran\u00eb dritares n\u00eb m\u00ebngjes me nj\u00eb filxhan \u00e7aj t\u00eb ngroht\u00eb. Madje gjeta nj\u00eb mace q\u00eb i p\u00eblqente t\u00eb flinte n\u00eb verand\u00ebn time. E quajta Beni.<\/p>\n
Davidi ndalonte shpesh, ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb me ushqime dhe her\u00eb t\u00eb tjera vet\u00ebm p\u00ebr t\u00eb biseduar. U afruam shum\u00eb, n\u00eb nj\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00eb t\u00eb qet\u00eb dhe ngush\u00eblluese. Ai m\u00eb kujtoi Markun, ve\u00e7an\u00ebrisht n\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00ebn se si d\u00ebgjonte. Nuk m\u00eb kishin d\u00ebgjuar v\u00ebrtet prej vitesh.<\/p>\n
Pastaj, gati tre vjet m\u00eb von\u00eb, n\u00eb nj\u00eb pasdite gri e me shi, dikush trokiti n\u00eb der\u00ebn time.<\/p>\n
E hapa dhe zemra m\u00eb ndaloi.<\/p>\n
Ishte Laura.<\/p>\n
Ajo dukej ndryshe, e lodhur, disi m\u00eb e vog\u00ebl. Syt\u00eb e saj nuk ishin m\u00eb t\u00eb ftoht\u00eb, thjesht t\u00eb humbur. \u00c7adra e saj pikonte uj\u00eb mbi dysheme.<\/p>\n
\u201cP\u00ebrsh\u00ebndetje, Helen,\u201d tha ajo but\u00ebsisht. \u201cA mund t\u00eb hyj brenda?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ngurrova, por u largova m\u00ebnjan\u00eb. \u201cSigurisht.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo hyri ngadal\u00eb, me syt\u00eb q\u00eb skanonin dhom\u00ebn e ndenjes. U ndal te nj\u00eb foto mbi oxhak \u2013 Marku duke mbajtur f\u00ebmij\u00ebt, me oqeanin pas tyre.<\/p>\n
\u201cNuk e dija p\u00ebr parat\u00eb,\u201d tha ajo me z\u00eb t\u00eb dridhur. \u201cJo deri nj\u00eb vit pasi ike. I gjeta dokumentet n\u00eb nj\u00eb kuti n\u00eb papafingo. Betohem, Helen\u2026 Nuk e dija q\u00eb e b\u00ebri k\u00ebt\u00eb p\u00ebr ty.\u201d<\/p>\n
E studiova me kujdes. \u201cEdhe n\u00ebse nuk e dije, prap\u00eb m\u00eb largove.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo pohoi me kok\u00eb, me sy t\u00eb err\u00ebt. \u201cIsha e zem\u00ebruar, e thyer dhe e shp\u00ebrtheva mbi ty. Mendova se n\u00ebse do t\u00eb ishe larguar, edhe dhimbja do t\u00eb zhdukej. Por nuk ndodhi k\u00ebshtu. F\u00ebmij\u00ebt jan\u00eb rritur tani. Ata mezi vijn\u00eb p\u00ebr vizit\u00eb. Humba pun\u00ebn pranver\u00ebn e kaluar, firma falimentoi. Humba gjith\u00e7ka dhe mendoj\u2026 Mendoj se kjo \u00ebsht\u00eb ajo q\u00eb meritoja.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shikova posht\u00eb drejt duarve t\u00eb mia. Pastaj thash\u00eb: \u201cNuk t\u00eb kam urryer kurr\u00eb, Laura. U l\u00ebndova, por nuk u habita. Ti gjithmon\u00eb shikoje p\u00ebrpara, kurr\u00eb p\u00ebrreth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo mbajti nj\u00eb r\u00ebnkim t\u00eb thell\u00eb. \u201cMarku thoshte se ti ishe zemra e sht\u00ebpis\u00eb son\u00eb. Nuk e kuptoja at\u00ebher\u00eb, por tani po. M\u00eb vjen keq p\u00ebr gjith\u00e7ka q\u00eb b\u00ebra.\u201d<\/p>\n
P\u00ebr nj\u00eb \u00e7ast t\u00eb gjat\u00eb, asnj\u00ebri prej nesh nuk foli. I vetmi zhurm\u00eb ishte shiu q\u00eb p\u00ebrplasej leht\u00eb n\u00eb \u00e7ati.<\/p>\n
U ngrita dhe i derdha nj\u00eb filxhan \u00e7aj. Ne q\u00ebndruam n\u00eb heshtje, dy gra t\u00eb lidhura nga pik\u00ebllimi dhe kujtimet.<\/p>\n
Kur m\u00eb n\u00eb fund u ngrit p\u00ebr t\u00eb ikur, Laura u kthye nga un\u00eb dhe p\u00ebshp\u00ebriti: \u201cTi meritoje m\u00eb mir\u00eb. Faleminderit q\u00eb m\u00eb lejove ta them k\u00ebt\u00eb.\u201d<\/p>\n
E shoq\u00ebrova deri te dera dhe i thash\u00eb: \u201cMirupafshim, Laura.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ajo m\u00eb shikoi p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb fundit dhe pohoi me kok\u00eb. Pastaj doli n\u00eb shi.<\/p>\n
E pash\u00eb teksa ecte n\u00ebp\u00ebr shteg, me \u00e7adr\u00ebn q\u00eb i l\u00ebkundej pak nga era.<\/p>\n
Nuk kishte k\u00ebnaq\u00ebsi, vet\u00ebm paqe.<\/p>\n
Sepse n\u00eb fund, djali im m\u00eb kishte dh\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb vetmen gj\u00eb q\u00eb ajo nuk mundi kurr\u00eb:<\/p>\n
Nj\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb q\u00ebndruar n\u00eb k\u00ebmb\u00eb vet\u00ebm.<\/p>\n
Dhe do ta kaloja pjes\u00ebn tjet\u00ebr t\u00eb dit\u00ebve t\u00eb mia n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb sht\u00ebpi t\u00eb vog\u00ebl q\u00eb ai m\u00eb dha, jo me tulla, por me dashuri.<\/p>\n
