On these living themes, of any contemplation, my will was to jump in the battle, to give my life for any cause that would ask for it, when my wife got home.
Noticing the state I was in, she had no clue of what she was supposed to do in order to calm down, knowing that in that moment it was impossible for me to “turn back” from my way. Someone rings at the door. It was a tapestry worker that had to fix the couch from the hallway.
– Good evening!
– Hello.
– Sorry to bother you, I’ve heard that unusual stuff are happening in the country, as you are watching TV, can I join you?
-Yes. Please, be welcomed. And we turned the TV on so we could see these things.
-Are you sure I am not bothering you?
-How come? These things involve everyone.
My wife quickly takes out a bottle of plum brandy (a last minute idea), so that he can see we aren’t upset with him, and serves us both. I take my camera and what I thought was important I recorded on the film. With all the shocking images shown at TV, the superposed messages over the image presented the participants from all over the country and all those movements in general made us believe that: “Romanian Television broadcasted live the revolution”. The drinks cumulated while the revolutionary from inside me was continuously imbibing after the retrace of the images in time, made by Brates and others. It seems that my wife’s calculation did not fail. In the end I went to sleep knowing that I will see Cluj… in December 29, when “the cold and fear” train stopped in Cluj. From it some got off, only some… Why not everyone? With my finger nail I scrape the carriage window from the ice deposed to it. Yes, we are in Cluj… It’s the final station. All the passengers should get off. Yes, but I see they don’t… I don’t get this “part”… I put my hand on the luggage and hand lamp (even in this type of city the movable lighting is necessary). I get off. Few passengers that got off the train hurry to leave the train station. I did the same thing. All people that leave the train station have the tendency to “throw themselves” at any type of transportation vehicle. I love too much Cluj to just travel in the speed of the railway.
