<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPak odhrnula z\u00e1clonu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sv\u011bt, jak ho znala, se na okam\u017eik zastavil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na jejich p\u0159edzahr\u00e1dce, p\u0159\u00edmo u branky, st\u00e1l ciz\u00ed mu\u017e. Neh\u00fdbal se. Jen tam st\u00e1l a d\u00edval se p\u0159\u00edmo na d\u016fm. P\u0159esn\u011bji \u2013 na jej\u00ed okno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Srdce j\u00ed prudce ude\u0159ilo do hrudi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bylo n\u011bco po \u0161est\u00e9 r\u00e1no. Ulice byla t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 pr\u00e1zdn\u00e1, jen v d\u00e1lce projelo jedno auto. Mu\u017e byl oble\u010den\u00fd v tmav\u00e9m kab\u00e1tu, ruce m\u011bl v kaps\u00e1ch. Nep\u016fsobil agresivn\u011b. Ale nep\u016fsobil ani n\u00e1hodn\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rita instinktivn\u011b ucouvla, jako by ji mohl vid\u011bt skrz sklo. Rychle zhasla sv\u011btlo v kuchyni, i kdy\u017e u\u017e bylo sv\u011btlo denn\u00ed. Hlava j\u00ed pracovala naplno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdo to je? Co chce? Sleduje m\u011b?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Znovu se opatrn\u011b p\u0159ibl\u00ed\u017eila k oknu a nakoukla p\u0159es okraj z\u00e1clony. Mu\u017e tam st\u00e1le byl. Te\u010f se pomalu rozhl\u00ed\u017eel po ulici. Pak zvedl ruku \u2013 a Rita si v\u0161imla, \u017ee dr\u017e\u00ed ob\u00e1lku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ob\u00e1lku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ne telefon. Ne nic podez\u0159el\u00e9ho. Jen oby\u010dejnou pap\u00edrovou ob\u00e1lku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zhluboka se nadechla. Mo\u017en\u00e1 jde jen o omyl. Mo\u017en\u00e1 hled\u00e1 jinou adresu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ale pro\u010d stoj\u00ed tak dlouho? Pro\u010d se d\u00edv\u00e1 p\u0159\u00edmo sem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rita s\u00e1hla po mobilu. V hlav\u011b u\u017e m\u011bla p\u0159ipraven\u00e9 \u010d\u00edslo na policii. Necht\u011bla riskovat. V posledn\u00edch t\u00fddnech se stejn\u011b nec\u00edtila klidn\u011b. Od chv\u00edle, kdy se p\u0159est\u011bhovala do domu po sv\u00e9 babi\u010dce, m\u011bla zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed pocit, \u017ee minulost toho m\u00edsta je t\u011b\u017e\u0161\u00ed, ne\u017e \u010dekala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u016fm byl star\u00fd, s vrzaj\u00edc\u00edmi schody a vysok\u00fdmi stropy. Soused\u00e9 ji p\u0159ijali mile, ale n\u011bkolikr\u00e1t se mezi \u0159e\u010d\u00ed zm\u00ednili o \u201eud\u00e1lostech\u201c, kter\u00e9 se tu kdysi staly. Nikdo nebyl konkr\u00e9tn\u00ed. Jen n\u00e1znaky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mu\u017e u branky se kone\u010dn\u011b pohnul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rita zadr\u017eela dech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otev\u0159el branku a pomalu vykro\u010dil po cesti\u010dce k domu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To u\u017e bylo p\u0159\u00edli\u0161.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sebrala odvahu, popadla kab\u00e1t a seb\u011bhla ke dve\u0159\u00edm. Necht\u011bla, aby zvonil. Necht\u011bla p\u016fsobit vyd\u011b\u0161en\u011b. Odemkla dve\u0159e t\u011bsn\u011b ve chv\u00edli, kdy zvedl ruku k zazvon\u011bn\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oba na okam\u017eik ztuhli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zbl\u00edzka vypadal jinak, ne\u017e si p\u0159edstavovala. Nebyl hroziv\u00fd. Sp\u00ed\u0161 nerv\u00f3zn\u00ed. O\u010di m\u011bl unaven\u00e9, pod nimi tmav\u00e9 kruhy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eRita Nov\u00e1kov\u00e1?\u201c zeptal se opatrn\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159ik\u00fdvla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Podal j\u00ed ob\u00e1lku. \u201eTohle v\u00e1m pat\u0159\u00ed.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pod\u00edvala se na ni. Nebylo na n\u00ed \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9 raz\u00edtko. Jen jej\u00ed jm\u00e9no, napsan\u00e9 rukou, kterou nepozn\u00e1vala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eKdo jste?\u201c vyhrkla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mu\u017e polkl. \u201eJsem\u2026 syn pana Kr\u00e1le.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To jm\u00e9no j\u00ed nic ne\u0159\u00edkalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBydlel tu p\u0159ed lety,\u201c dodal rychle. \u201eNe\u017e\u2026 ne\u017e se to stalo.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ticho mezi nimi zhoustlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCo se stalo?\u201c zeptala se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mu\u017e na okam\u017eik odvr\u00e1til pohled. \u201eM\u016fj otec tu \u017eil s va\u0161\u00ed babi\u010dkou.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rita c\u00edtila, jak se j\u00ed st\u00e1hne \u017ealudek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTo nen\u00ed mo\u017en\u00e9,\u201c za\u0161eptala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBylo to tajemstv\u00ed,\u201c pokra\u010doval mu\u017e. \u201eNikdy se o tom nemluvilo. Kdy\u017e otec zem\u0159el, na\u0161el jsem mezi jeho v\u011bcmi dopisy. Dopisy od va\u0161\u00ed babi\u010dky. A taky tenhle\u2026\u201c k\u00fdvl sm\u011brem k ob\u00e1lce v jej\u00edch rukou. \u201eJe adresovan\u00fd v\u00e1m.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruce se j\u00ed lehce t\u0159\u00e1sly, kdy\u017e ob\u00e1lku otev\u0159ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uvnit\u0159 byl star\u00fd dopis. Pap\u00edr byl za\u017eloutl\u00fd, p\u00edsmo jemn\u00e9 a pe\u010dliv\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eRito,\u201c za\u010d\u00ednal text. \u201ePokud \u010dte\u0161 tyto \u0159\u00e1dky, znamen\u00e1 to, \u017ee pravda u\u017e nem\u016f\u017ee z\u016fstat skryt\u00e1\u2026\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S ka\u017ed\u00fdm dal\u0161\u00edm slovem j\u00ed doch\u00e1zelo, \u017ee jej\u00ed rodinn\u00e1 historie je jin\u00e1, ne\u017e si myslela. Babi\u010dka m\u011bla druh\u00fd \u017eivot. Tajnou l\u00e1sku. Rozhodnut\u00ed, kter\u00e1 zm\u011bnila osudy v\u00edc lid\u00ed, ne\u017e Rita tu\u0161ila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mu\u017e p\u0159ed n\u00ed nebyl cizinec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byl jej\u00ed p\u0159\u00edbuzn\u00fd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Druh\u00fd den r\u00e1no, kdy\u017e Rita pohl\u00e9dla z okna, doslova ztuhla. Myslela si, \u017ee vid\u00ed hrozbu. \u017de minulost p\u0159ich\u00e1z\u00ed jako st\u00edn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
