Hatta sab\u0131rs\u0131zl\u0131klar\u0131, titizlikleri de yoktu. Birbirlerine hi\u00e7 ac\u0131 s\u00f6z s\u00f6ylememi\u015flerdi. Bu da\u011f ba\u015f\u0131 k\u0131\u015flamas\u0131na yetecek kadar dayanma g\u00fc\u00e7leri vard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vakit vakit ya\u015fl\u0131 Gaspard t\u00fcfe\u011fini al\u0131r, da\u011f ke\u00e7isi bulmaya giderdi. Bazan vururdu da. O zaman Schwarenbach Oteli\u2019nde bayram olur ve taze et \u015f\u00f6leni \u00e7ekilirdi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bir sabah yine b\u00f6ylece gitti. D\u0131\u015fardaki termometre s\u0131f\u0131r\u0131n alt\u0131nda on sekizi g\u00f6steriyordu. G\u00fcne\u015f hen\u00fcz do\u011fmam\u0131\u015f oldu\u011fu i\u00e7in avc\u0131 Wildstrubel yak\u0131nlar\u0131nda av bulaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 umuyordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ulrich yaln\u0131z kal\u0131nca saat ona kadar yatt\u0131. Uykuyu severdi. Fakat hep erkenci ve \u00e7al\u0131\u015fkan olan ya\u015fl\u0131 k\u0131lavuzun kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131nda kendini bu sevgiye b\u0131rakmaya hi\u00e7 cesaret edememi\u015fti. Sam\u2019la a\u011f\u0131r a\u011f\u0131r yemek yedi. O da gecesini g\u00fcnd\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc ate\u015fin kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131nda uyumakla ge\u00e7iriyordu. Sonra i\u00e7inde bir \u00fczg\u00fcnl\u00fck, hatta bir yaln\u0131zl\u0131k korkusu buldu ve k\u00f6k salm\u0131\u015f bir al\u0131\u015fkanl\u0131\u011fa kar\u015f\u0131 oldu\u011fu gibi g\u00fcndelik iskambil oyunlar\u0131na kar\u015f\u0131 da bir gereksinim kabar\u0131kl\u0131\u011f\u0131 duydu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunun \u00fczerine saat d\u00f6rtte d\u00f6necek olan arkada\u015f\u0131n\u0131 beklemeye \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. Kar, \u00e7ukurlar\u0131 doldurarak, iki g\u00f6l\u00fc silerek, kayalar\u0131 pamu\u011fa sararak derin koya\u011f\u0131 ba\u015ftan ba\u015fa d\u00fczle\u015ftirmi\u015fti. Art\u0131k kocaman tepelerin aras\u0131nda kocaman, bembeyaz, p\u00fcr\u00fczs\u00fcz, g\u00f6z kama\u015ft\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 ve donmu\u015f bir tekneden ba\u015fka bir \u015fey yoktu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00dc\u00e7 haftad\u0131r Ulrich u\u00e7urumun, k\u00f6y\u00fcn g\u00f6r\u00fcld\u00fc\u011f\u00fc k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131na gitmemi\u015fti. Wildstrubel\u2019e \u00e7\u0131kan yama\u00e7lara t\u0131rmanmazdan \u00f6nce oraya u\u011framak istedi. Loeche de kar alt\u0131ndayd\u0131. Evler, bu so\u011fuk mantonun i\u00e7ine g\u00f6m\u00fclm\u00fc\u015f, hi\u00e7 se\u00e7ilmez olmu\u015ftu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonra sa\u011fa d\u00f6nerek Loemmern Buzulu\u2019na do\u011fruldu. Ucu demirli de\u011fne\u011fini ta\u015f gibi sert kara kakarak b\u00fcy\u00fck da\u011fl\u0131 ad\u0131mlar\u0131yla ilerliyordu. Keskin g\u00f6z\u00fcyle de uzakta, bu s\u0131n\u0131rs\u0131z \u00f6rt\u00fc \u00fczerinde k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, kara ve k\u0131m\u0131ldar noktay\u0131 ar\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buzulun k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131na var\u0131nca, ya\u015fl\u0131 adam\u0131n ger\u00e7ekten bu yolu tutmu\u015f olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnerek durdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonra daha h\u0131zl\u0131 ve daha kayg\u0131l\u0131 ad\u0131mlarla buzul ta\u015flar\u0131 boyunca y\u00fcr\u00fcmeye ba\u015flad\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
G\u00fcne\u015f al\u00e7al\u0131yordu. Karlar pembele\u015fiyor, onlar\u0131n billurla\u015fm\u0131\u015f y\u00fcz\u00fcnde kuru ve dondurucu bir yel vakit vakit canlan\u0131p esiyordu. Ulrich uzun, y\u00fcksek ve titrek bir hayk\u0131rmayla arkada\u015f\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rd\u0131. Ses, da\u011flar\u0131n uyudu\u011fu g\u00f6m\u00fct durgunlu\u011fu i\u00e7inde u\u00e7tu; uzaklarda, k\u00f6p\u00fckten, derin ve k\u0131m\u0131lt\u0131s\u0131z dalgalar\u0131n \u00fczerinde; bir ku\u015f \u00e7\u0131\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n deniz dalgalar\u0131nda ko\u015fmas\u0131 gibi, ko\u015ftu; sonra d\u00f6nd\u00fc. Ona hi\u00e7bir yan\u0131t gelmedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delikanl\u0131 yine y\u00fcr\u00fcmeye ba\u015flad\u0131. G\u00fcne\u015f a\u015fa\u011f\u0131da, g\u00f6kteki yans\u0131malar\u0131n h\u00e2l\u00e2 pembele\u015ftirdi\u011fi tepelerin arkas\u0131nda batm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Koya\u011f\u0131n derinlikleri art\u0131k karar\u0131yordu. Ulrich birdenbire korktu. Ona bu da\u011flar\u0131n sessizli\u011fi, so\u011fu\u011fu, yaln\u0131zl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve k\u0131\u015f \u00f6l\u00fcl\u00fc\u011f\u00fc kendi i\u00e7ine giriyor, kan\u0131n\u0131 durdurup dondurmak, uzuvlar\u0131n\u0131 kaskat\u0131 etmek, kendisini kat\u0131lm\u0131\u015fa, buz kesilmi\u015fe \u00e7evirmek istiyor gibi geldi. O zaman ko\u015farak oturdu\u011fu yere do\u011fru ka\u00e7maya ba\u015flad\u0131. Ya\u015fl\u0131 adam, kendisi yokken d\u00f6nm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcr diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordu. Olas\u0131l\u0131kla, ba\u015fka bir yol tutmu\u015f ve \u015fimdi, ayaklar\u0131n\u0131n dibinde vurulmu\u015f bir da\u011f ke\u00e7isiyle, ate\u015fin kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131na ge\u00e7mi\u015fti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biraz sonra oteli g\u00f6rd\u00fc. Oradan hi\u00e7 duman \u00e7\u0131km\u0131yordu. Ulrich daha h\u0131zl\u0131 ko\u015ftu, kap\u0131y\u0131 a\u00e7t\u0131. Sam kendisini sevin\u00e7le kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131. Fakat Gaspard Hari gelmemi\u015fti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kunsi, \u015fa\u015f\u0131rm\u0131\u015f, sanki arkada\u015f\u0131 bir k\u00f6\u015feye saklanm\u0131\u015f da onu \u015fimdi bulacakm\u0131\u015f gibi, oldu\u011fu yerde d\u00f6n\u00fcp duruyordu. Sonra ate\u015fi yakt\u0131 ve hep ya\u015fl\u0131 adam\u0131n \u00e7\u0131kagelece\u011fini umarak \u00e7orbay\u0131 pi\u015firdi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arada s\u0131rada daha g\u00f6r\u00fcnm\u00fcyor mu diye \u00e7\u0131k\u0131p bak\u0131yordu. Gece, da\u011flar\u0131n u\u00e7uk gecesi, solgun gece, ufkun k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131nda hemen tepelerin arkas\u0131na d\u00fc\u015fmeye haz\u0131r, sar\u0131 ve ince bir ay\u0131n ayd\u0131nlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 esmerimsi gece, ortal\u0131\u011fa \u00e7\u00f6km\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonra, delikanl\u0131 yine i\u00e7eriye giriyor, oturuyor, ba\u015fa gelebilecek kazalar\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnerek ellerini ve ayaklar\u0131n\u0131 \u0131s\u0131t\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaspard bir baca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 k\u0131rm\u0131\u015f, bir \u00e7ukura yuvarlanm\u0131\u015f, yanl\u0131\u015f bir ad\u0131m atarak ayak kemi\u011finin burkulmas\u0131na neden olmu\u015f olabilirdi. Herhalde \u015fimdi karlara serilmi\u015f, tutulmu\u015f, so\u011fuktan kaskat\u0131 kesilmi\u015f, bitmi\u015f, belki de yard\u0131m \u00e7a\u011f\u0131ra \u00e7a\u011f\u0131ra, gecenin sessizli\u011fi i\u00e7inde bo\u011faz\u0131n\u0131n b\u00fct\u00fcn g\u00fcc\u00fcyle hayk\u0131ra hayk\u0131ra yat\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fakat nerede? Da\u011flar o kadar geni\u015f, o kadar yal\u00e7\u0131n, \u00e7evre de, \u00f6zellikle bu mevsim boyunca, o kadar tehlikeliydi ki bir adam\u0131 bu sonsuzlu\u011fun i\u00e7inde bulmak i\u00e7in on veya yirmi k\u0131lavuz olmak ve yirmi g\u00fcn her y\u00f6ne gitmek gerekirdi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bununla birlikte Ulrich Kunsi, e\u011fer Gaspard Hari saat bire kadar d\u00f6nmezse Sam\u2019la birlikte \u00e7\u0131kmaya karar verdi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haz\u0131rl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 da yapt\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bir \u00e7antaya iki g\u00fcnl\u00fck yiyecek koydu. \u00e7elik kancalar\u0131n\u0131 ald\u0131. beline uzun, ince ve sa\u011flam bir ip sard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ucu demirli de\u011fne\u011fini ve buzda basamak oymaya yarayan baltay\u0131 g\u00f6zden ge\u00e7irdi. Sonra bekledi. Ate\u015f ocakta yan\u0131yor, iri k\u00f6pek alevin ayd\u0131nl\u0131\u011f\u0131nda horulduyordu. Saat, ses veren a\u011fa\u00e7tan kutusu i\u00e7inde d\u00fczenli tiktaklar\u0131n\u0131, bir y\u00fcrek gibi vurmaktayd\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ulrich, kula\u011f\u0131 uzak g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fclerde, hafif r\u00fczg\u00e2r \u00e7at\u0131y\u0131 ve duvarlar\u0131 s\u0131y\u0131rd\u0131k\u00e7a \u00fcrpererek, bekliyordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saat gece yar\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7ald\u0131. Delikanl\u0131 titredi. Sonra i\u00e7inde \u00fcrk\u00fcnt\u00fc ve kesiklik duydu\u011fu i\u00e7in, yola \u00e7\u0131kmadan kaynar bir kahve i\u00e7mek \u00fczere, ate\u015fe su koydu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saat biri vurunca kalkt\u0131, Sam\u2019\u0131 uyand\u0131rd\u0131, kap\u0131y\u0131 a\u00e7t\u0131 ve Wildstrubel\u2019e do\u011fru yola \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. Tam be\u015f saat kancalar\u0131yla kayalara t\u0131rmanarak, buzlar\u0131 yontarak, boyuna ilerleyerek ve bazan \u00e7ok dik bir yoku\u015fun dibinde kalan k\u00f6pe\u011fi ipinin ucunda yede\u011fe alarak y\u00fckseldi.

Ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131n \u00fczerinde g\u00f6\u011f\u00fcn rengi at\u0131yordu.

Sonunda h\u00e2l\u00e2 tepesine kadar karla \u00f6rt\u00fcl\u00fc otel g\u00f6r\u00fcnd\u00fc. Kap\u0131 da, pencere de kapal\u0131yd\u0131. \u00c7at\u0131dan biraz duman \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yordu. Bu, Hauser Baba\u2019ya g\u00fcven verdi. Fakat yakla\u015f\u0131nca e\u015fi\u011fin \u00fczerinde, kartallar taraf\u0131ndan par\u00e7alanm\u0131\u015f bir hayvan iskeleti, yan \u00fcst\u00fc yatan bir b\u00fcy\u00fck iskelet g\u00f6rd\u00fc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunu hep incelediler. Anne: \u201cSam olmal\u0131\u201d dedi ve \u201cHey Gaspard!\u201d diye seslendi. \u0130\u00e7erden bir ba\u011f\u0131r\u0131\u015f, hayvan sesi gibi keskin bir ba\u011f\u0131r\u0131\u015f yan\u0131t verdi. Hauser baba: \u201cHey Gaspard!\u201d diye yineledi. \u0130lkinin ayn\u0131, yeni bir ba\u011f\u0131r\u0131\u015f duyuldu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O vakit babayla iki o\u011ful, \u00fc\u00e7 ki\u015fi kap\u0131y\u0131 a\u00e7maya \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131lar. Kap\u0131 dayand\u0131. Bo\u015f ah\u0131rdan uzun bir direk ald\u0131lar, b\u00fct\u00fcn h\u0131zlar\u0131yla toslatt\u0131lar. Kap\u0131 \u00e7at\u0131rdayarak y\u0131k\u0131ld\u0131, tahtalar par\u00e7a par\u00e7a f\u0131rlad\u0131. Sonra b\u00fcy\u00fck bir g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fc evi sarst\u0131. \u0130\u00e7erde devrilen b\u00fcfenin arkas\u0131nda, sa\u00e7lar\u0131 omuzlar\u0131na, sakal\u0131 g\u00f6\u011fs\u00fcne d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015f, ayakta, g\u00f6zleri p\u0131r\u0131l p\u0131r\u0131l, \u00fcst\u00fcnden lime lime kuma\u015flar sarkan bir adam g\u00f6rd\u00fcler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onu se\u00e7emiyorlard\u0131. Fakat Louise Hauser; \u201cAnne; bu, Ulrich.\u201d diye hayk\u0131rd\u0131. Anne de onun, sa\u00e7lar\u0131 a\u011farmas\u0131na kar\u015f\u0131n, Ulrich oldu\u011funu tan\u0131d\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adam, yan\u0131na gelinmesine, kendisine dokunulmas\u0131na ses \u00e7\u0131karmad\u0131. Yaln\u0131zca sorulan \u015feylere hi\u00e7 yan\u0131t vermedi. Onu Loeche\u2019e g\u00f6t\u00fcrmek gerekti. Orada hekimler delirmi\u015f oldu\u011funu s\u00f6ylediler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arkada\u015f\u0131n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131na ne geldi\u011fini kimse \u00f6\u011frenemedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck matmazel Hauser, o yaz, da\u011f so\u011fu\u011funa verilen bir i\u00e7 t\u00fckeni\u015finden adeta \u00f6lecek gibi oldu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
