<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nNa rohu star\u00e9 ulice, mezi opr\u00fdskanou trafikovou budkou a mal\u00fdm obchodem s levn\u00fdmi kv\u011btinami, st\u00e1l star\u00fd st\u00e1nek s pouli\u010dn\u00edm j\u00eddlem. Kovov\u00e1 konstrukce u\u017e d\u00e1vno ztratila p\u016fvodn\u00ed barvu a mal\u00e1 ok\u00e9nka byla zaml\u017een\u00e1 p\u00e1rou z rozp\u00e1len\u00e9ho oleje. V\u016fn\u011b sma\u017een\u00e9 cibule, chleba a siln\u00e9ho ko\u0159en\u00ed se m\u00edsila se studen\u00fdm vzduchem a vytv\u00e1\u0159ela podivn\u00fd kontrast mezi teplem a zimou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pr\u00e1v\u011b tam st\u00e1la ona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St\u00e1la vedle st\u00e1nku t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 nehybn\u011b, ruce zastr\u010den\u00e9 hluboko v kaps\u00e1ch dlouh\u00e9ho tmav\u00e9ho kab\u00e1tu. Vypadala, jako by se sna\u017eila splynout se zd\u00ed za sebou, st\u00e1t se sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed toho \u0161ed\u00e9ho odpoledne, aby si j\u00ed nikdo nev\u0161iml. Jej\u00ed tv\u00e1\u0159 byla bled\u00e1 a unaven\u00e1, vlasy j\u00ed v\u00edtr rozhazoval do o\u010d\u00ed, ale ona si je ani neodhrnovala. Jen ml\u010dky sledovala lidi proch\u00e1zej\u00edc\u00ed kolem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byl jsem tam n\u00e1hodou. P\u0159i\u0161el jsem si koupit n\u011bco tepl\u00e9ho k j\u00eddlu po dlouh\u00e9m dni v pr\u00e1ci. Ten st\u00e1nek jsem znal u\u017e roky. Pat\u0159il star\u00e9mu mu\u017ei jm\u00e9nem Viktor, kter\u00fd t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 nikdy nemluvil v\u00edc, ne\u017e bylo pot\u0159eba. P\u0159esto se k n\u011bmu lid\u00e9 vraceli. Mo\u017en\u00e1 kv\u016fli j\u00eddlu, mo\u017en\u00e1 kv\u016fli zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed atmosf\u00e9\u0159e toho m\u00edsta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e jsem \u010dekal na objedn\u00e1vku, n\u011bkolikr\u00e1t jsem se na tu \u017eenu pod\u00edval. Nep\u016fsobila jako n\u011bkdo, kdo \u010dek\u00e1 na autobus nebo na zn\u00e1m\u00e9ho. Sp\u00ed\u0161 jako \u010dlov\u011bk, kter\u00fd nem\u00e1 kam j\u00edt. Bylo na n\u00ed n\u011bco tich\u00e9ho a t\u011b\u017ek\u00e9ho z\u00e1rove\u0148, n\u011bco, co \u010dlov\u011bk nedok\u00e1\u017ee p\u0159esn\u011b pojmenovat, ale okam\u017eit\u011b to c\u00edt\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viktor si j\u00ed v\u0161iml tak\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bez jedin\u00e9ho slova p\u0159ipravil dal\u0161\u00ed kel\u00edmek hork\u00e9ho \u010daje a polo\u017eil ho na kraj pultu. \u017dena nejprve nereagovala. A\u017e po chv\u00edli k n\u011bmu pomalu p\u0159istoupila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eJ\u00e1 nem\u00e1m pen\u00edze,\u201c \u0159ekla ti\u0161e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viktor jen pokr\u010dil rameny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVenku je zima,\u201c odpov\u011bd\u011bl klidn\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vzala si \u010daj ob\u011bma rukama, jako by dr\u017eela n\u011bco velmi k\u0159ehk\u00e9ho. P\u00e1ra j\u00ed stoupala do obli\u010deje a na okam\u017eik jsem m\u011bl pocit, \u017ee se poprv\u00e9 nadechla trochu klidn\u011bji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lid\u00e9 kolem d\u00e1l sp\u011bchali. N\u011bkte\u0159\u00ed se kr\u00e1tce pod\u00edvali jej\u00edm sm\u011brem, ale hned zase odvr\u00e1tili o\u010di. Ve velk\u00fdch m\u011bstech si lid\u00e9 zvykli neptat se p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 mnoho. Ka\u017ed\u00fd se nau\u010dil p\u0159ehl\u00ed\u017eet ciz\u00ed smutek, proto\u017ee ho potk\u00e1v\u00e1 t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 ka\u017ed\u00fd den.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nev\u00edm pro\u010d, ale nemohl jsem odej\u00edt. Objednan\u00e9 j\u00eddlo jsem u\u017e d\u00e1vno dr\u017eel v rukou, p\u0159esto jsem z\u016fst\u00e1val st\u00e1t pobl\u00ed\u017e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Po n\u011bkolika minut\u00e1ch \u017eena ti\u0161e promluvila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eKdysi jsem sem chodila skoro ka\u017ed\u00fd ve\u010der.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viktor p\u0159ik\u00fdvl, jako by si ji pamatoval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eS mu\u017eem?\u201c zeptal se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na okam\u017eik zav\u0159ela o\u010di.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAno.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u00edtr zes\u00edlil a n\u011bkde v d\u00e1lce zahoukala tramvaj. To oby\u010dejn\u00e9 m\u011bstsk\u00e9 odpoledne najednou p\u016fsobilo zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u011b pr\u00e1zdn\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u017dena se pomalu op\u0159ela o st\u011bnu st\u00e1nku a pokra\u010dovala, tentokr\u00e1t sp\u00ed\u0161 sama pro sebe ne\u017e pro n\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePracovali jsme nedaleko odsud. Nem\u011bli jsme moc pen\u011bz, ale v\u017edycky jsme si po sm\u011bn\u011b koupili n\u011bco tady. \u0158\u00edkali jsme si, \u017ee a\u017e budeme jednou bohat\u00ed, p\u0159ijdeme sem v drah\u00fdch kab\u00e1tech a budeme se sm\u00e1t tomu, jak jsme kdysi po\u010d\u00edtali ka\u017edou minci.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slab\u011b se usm\u00e1la, ale v o\u010d\u00edch m\u011bla smutek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNikdy jsme nezbohatli.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viktor ml\u010del. M\u011bl ten druh ticha, kter\u00fd nen\u00ed nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00fd. Ticho \u010dlov\u011bka, kter\u00fd ch\u00e1pe, \u017ee n\u011bkter\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edb\u011bhy nepot\u0159ebuj\u00ed p\u0159eru\u0161ovat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eP\u0159ed dv\u011bma lety zem\u0159el,\u201c \u0159ekla nakonec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ta v\u011bta z\u016fstala viset ve vzduchu t\u011b\u017ece a chladn\u011bji ne\u017e v\u00edtr kolem n\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poprv\u00e9 jsem si v\u0161iml, jak pevn\u011b dr\u017e\u00ed kel\u00edmek s \u010dajem, skoro jako by to bylo posledn\u00ed teplo, kter\u00e9 j\u00ed z\u016fstalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDlouho jsem sem nemohla p\u0159ij\u00edt,\u201c pokra\u010dovala. \u201eDnes jsem \u0161la kolem\u2026 a nev\u011bd\u011bla jsem, pro\u010d jsem se zastavila.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viktor se op\u0159el o pult a pod\u00edval se na ulici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eN\u011bkter\u00e1 m\u00edsta si \u010dlov\u011bka pamatuj\u00ed,\u201c \u0159ekl pomalu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ta v\u011bta m\u011b zas\u00e1hla v\u00edc, ne\u017e bych \u010dekal. Najednou jsem si uv\u011bdomil, kolik m\u00edst v sob\u011b nos\u00ed lidsk\u00e9 vzpom\u00ednky. Star\u00e9 lavi\u010dky, kav\u00e1rny, tramvajov\u00e9 zast\u00e1vky nebo pr\u00e1v\u011b oby\u010dejn\u00e9 st\u00e1nky s j\u00eddlem. M\u00edsta, kter\u00e1 pro ostatn\u00ed neznamenaj\u00ed nic, ale pro n\u011bkoho p\u0159edstavuj\u00ed cel\u00fd kus \u017eivota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u017dena dopila \u010daj a chv\u00edli je\u0161t\u011b st\u00e1la vedle st\u00e1nku. U\u017e nep\u016fsobila, jako by se cht\u011bla ztratit. Sp\u00ed\u0161 jako n\u011bkdo, kdo se na okam\u017eik odv\u00e1\u017eil znovu objevit \u010d\u00e1st sebe sama, kterou dlouho skr\u00fdval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pak pod\u011bkovala tich\u00fdm hlasem a pomalu ode\u0161la ulic\u00ed dol\u016f. Jej\u00ed postava se postupn\u011b ztr\u00e1cela mezi lidmi a \u0161ed\u00fdm sv\u011btlem podve\u010dera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e zmizela za rohem, Viktor jen ti\u0161e pokra\u010doval v pr\u00e1ci, jako by se nic nestalo. Ale mn\u011b bylo jasn\u00e9, \u017ee jsem pr\u00e1v\u011b vid\u011bl n\u011bco d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9ho. Ne velk\u00e9 drama ani filmov\u00fd okam\u017eik. Jen kr\u00e1tk\u00e9 setk\u00e1n\u00ed t\u0159\u00ed lid\u00ed v chladn\u00e9m odpoledni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A p\u0159esto v sob\u011b neslo v\u00edc lidskosti ne\u017e mnoho hlasit\u00fdch slov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"M\u011bsto bylo toho dne pono\u0159en\u00e9 do zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed \u0161ed\u00e9 barvy, kterou p\u0159in\u00e1\u0161\u00ed pozdn\u00ed podzim.
