After lunch the group kept climbing. Although it was very hot, snow was everywhere. Mihai came to help Camelia. Now, she seemed to trust only him. He was a well-built man and Camelia was climbing up grabbing his legs as thick as a tree. On the out journey, she avoided to walk near Mihai. Gabi was a bit jealous but didn't want to upset her friend. Camelia knew she was very beautiful. She had thought of her colleague not to think it was a big deal. But now she didn't care anymore. She just wanted to go back home. Up there, on the top of the mountain, Maria, Liviu's, had a nervous breakdown.
"Look what's happened to us if we took beginners with us.Tomorrow I shall have classes at school at 8 o'clock and I'll be late, if we do not catch the first train at the Busteni Station. And I have a board meeting as well."
"It's our fault, '' said Mihai. ''This road had to have some ropes. For us, mountain climbers with experience, it was easy. We did not think of the others in the group. Next time we go we should be more careful. Now, we've been lucky nothing bad happened. I do not even want to think of what might have happened."
After staying half an hour outside in the snow, directly after the sun light, Camelia had a hypothermic shock and kept shivering for a couple of minutes. The same happened to Roland... Probably it was the shock after what had happened. Then they immediately got over it, at Maria's shouts: "Let's move, fast."
Camelia got over the road down the peak of the mountain following Michael's thick legs that she caught shaking, desperate, as if it WERE the only way through which she wouldn"t slip in any mysterious mountains steep.
I will take care of you! " said Mihai the tall me. Camelia did not think that something dangerous could happen on the mountain. Something so wonderful like the mountain, she was thinking, could"t be dangerous. Even after it the accident, seemed that everything that happened to her was just a dream.
Only the injuries she had on the skin got her back to reality. Luckily she got her T-shirt before the falling. No internal bady organ was injured.
Only near the temple, a rock hit her a bit and a fine spring of blood was running down her face.
They got on the train and Camelia was very hungry. But it was only some bacon left. Usually, Camelia doesn"t eat bacon, but now she thought it was so good. They finished all the bread as well. At the station, in Brasov, her mum and her sister were waiting for her.
"Camelia? ! Did something happen to you? I had a hunch in the morning." Her mum asked.
"No, no, Said Camelia fast. It was all alright."
Camelia wanted to go to other trips again and that"s why she avoided telling the truth to her mother. When they arrived near the local hospital, Camelia told her mother in a slow voice:
"You know...mum...I fell a little bit on the mountain and I need a doctor to see me! "
At the emergencies, the young doctor smiled when he saw Camelia and said to her: "What are you doing here young lady? Did you get hurt again? You should"ve come with me. I would have protected you. You wouldn"t have got hurt. If you did not accept my invitation to the show look what happened to you! "
A night before, Camelia had washed a bottle with milk and the water had come with such pressure that both the thick bottle and the sink broke. Some pieces of glass got through in her leg and her mother told her to go to a hospital for an antitetanos. It was the same doctor there. Three days in a row something happened to Camelia. Just a night before she was in a car when, at the turning road to Radacau from the county hospital, a jeep almost tore the car apart.
"I went to the mountain and fell, said Camelia to the doctor embarrassed at."
He had to disinfect the wounds because the pebbles entered in the beck and arms. She was lucky that it wasn't something serious..... "I told you not to go on the mountain, because it's dangerous, said her mother."
The next days, Camelia found out from Gabriela that Ronald told her that he fell after her to save her. He was a performance climber. There is however the possibility to fall, because he was with street shoes and these ones were falling in the snow. However, after his reaction it looked like he was the victim. But if she hadn't met him at the train station, if Liviu hadn't called him also on the mountain and if he hadn't come, Camelia wouldn't have tried - when he fell in the abyss - to stop and who knows what would have happened..... The ravine which they fell off had also a predestined name, " The Devil's Ravine", because most of the people found their end in it, being a straight wall of rock, which began exactly where it stopped.
The next day, Camelia woke up as if nothing special happened the day before. As usual, Camelia was walking to the University, as she did when she was a student. She wasn't planning to go by trolleybus. She was leaving on the central bulevard and she was used to arrive fast in the centre of the city, where they were and the bodies of the universities. The route was so nice that made her dream.
She was entering the lab. The sunlights were overflowing in the waterfall, by the giant windows that were occupying almost all the outer wall. In the front, the tallest students in that year were sitting in the first row. She figured it out that they left intentionally. Probably they found out that a person who hast just finished college was coming. Camelia was younger than her students because she started school at five years old and a half and also because students went to the army before they started college. Fair haired, supple, with the face of a doll, with big, black eyes and a small mouth, Camelia has always known that she looked smaller than her age. In winter, she found a solution to this problem: she got dressed with her new coat, three quarters, with black nutria and polar fox cap.
The course was in the second semestre, in the second year of college. During the seminar, they found that the advice of her coordinating teacher, Mr. Toia, was helpful for her. He told her to remember also the partial and final calculation results of the resolved problems, inside of the coordinating seminar, in order to check the correcteness of the solutions. By that way she could also save time and see immediately any mistake that a student has done at the blackboard. She knew that just the best ones chose this specialization, not to go through some any forgotten place in the world, because the governmental repairs were very good for the ones who were graduating this university - most of the jobs in the country!
