Above his house, under his gallery from Purcaret, on a knob from the hill they buried until the second RESSURECTION.
Relu ran off because of his shame, of his awfulness after what he had done. He has bitten the hand of the one he gave him to eat. He punched the one that cut off from his piece of bread so that he could fid him, teach him, build him a home, and place him in the same line with all the people. That’s how he thank the man that have done everything so he would be well and God what didn’t he do! He cannot explain his gesture but since he was unemployed it seemed God has darkened his mind and life. Healthy he was, except his only affection. He could cut, chop, sell and build wood. In the neighborhood there was an old man that was paying for occasionally necessary household work, he could build up houses, daub, any work there was to do he could do it, healthy he was, only the fact they unemployed him was humiliating him. All these homemaking work he was doing also when he was working as he was a capable and hard working man, but now he could not do anymore, he could not find his inner peace, inside his home. He missed waking up at a regular time, going to work regardless the weather. He was missing that working discipline he was raised in, being incapable in choosing. While he wasn’t at work, when it was a feast day, he used to get drunk with all his friends. Now he had all day long free and he had no idea how to act. After he went across the hills for two days, he saw himself near Halmeu. He didn’t have any id with, he passed the Hungarian border. He went at the Salgatorian mines. There he found other helpmates, they guaranteed for him and he worked there for more than a year. He could not get a high class salary if he didn’t show up his id that would proof his competences. He sent home all he “gathered” and asked them to send him all his papers, including passport. The wife thanks him for the money and the fact he thinks about them, wished him health and then she wrote him that: “father, after the punch you gave him, died”.

Relu continued his work, but as days went by his helpmates noticed he was more cheerful, even more he started to hum the same song: “I loved you …” The normally reaction process he had to answer between an order and the execution were getting longer, sometimes after he was executing it they become others than the needed ones. Fixing a timber he was close to “get it into the head” of the helpmate that employed him here. This one, with a firm move, caught his arm and turned it. Relu had an impersonal look, a lost one. He was going crazy. He was working only from automatism. If it hadn’t have been for his own force and skills not only that he wouldn’t have won anything but he might not have lived. They took him to the doctor. He took him to “bolondhaz”. From in there the family came and took him home. He is a calm patient after how volcanic he used to be. One thing they cannot stop him to do. He wakes up daily at four o’clock. He dresses up in his overall, takes the lamp and haversack and leaves … at the mine. He gets there, and looks at the gallery’s opening. He goes at the “lamparie” (the place in the mine where they keep the lamps) and gets back home. Then, like none of this had happen, he does the house holding work, without saying anything to anyone. He eats only when the dinner is ready. If you head a plate towards him, he takes it and runs away to come back whenever God wants. Doctors have declined their competence in his behavior. Maybe this is how he would end his life.

Epilogue:
A man has died. Many other will too after how the Almighty has disposed. Now there are also others that decide, that think of themselves as gods and that wish to never hear again about these people, the mine diggers, people that, working alongside death, besides life they have nothing else to loose. Their courage is the threat to those who think they are gods and that will soon realize they are also just some mortals and after they will loose their power they wouldn’t even be mentioned. But the harm was already done; they got mining and the mine digger into collapse, into tearing pieces.
Meanwhile in the town, of which seal was the symbol of a mine entrance and the signs of mining, were “raised” three gratitude of mining that started to anguish too. These attributes once treasured by the city inhabitants, now “The mine digger resting”, a statue from the Scholar Mining Team’s yard hasn’t got its nose anymore and it is “flourished” in graphitic. The mine digger statue from the front of the Theater has letter “N” fallen down from the votive welcome, and the first stone ruptured with a “Flottman” in 1912, with the first hammer drill of this kind used in the “baimarean” mining, settled in the town park, after how it is being taken care of dogs are the only ones to leave signs on it, then the townsmen respect. All these visible signs of degradation are because the town was born and kept going under the same branch. The rout from the mining spreads with its state and lack of interest the other people too, that were living among mining. After the revolution the church from the park, built with the massive contribution of the mine diggers from 1942 to 1943 began to loose its parishioners. It is unknown yet if the mining decay is responsible too for these state of the population, but for us is the first time when we see that a town that grew up and existed through years of mining, has perplexed. Nobody knows what we’ll become, or what is next …
