Ionu\u021b a r\u0103mas cu telefonul la ureche, dar nu a putut r\u0103spunde imediat. \u00cen jur era lini\u0219te deplin\u0103. Doar frigiderul b\u00e2z\u00e2ia u\u0219or, ca \u0219i cum \u0219i el a\u0219tepta un r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
A oftat ad\u00e2nc \u0219i s-a uitat spre fereastr\u0103. Soarele de diminea\u021b\u0103 b\u0103tea pe pere\u021bii albi, iar \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie mirosea a cafea. Marina dormea \u00eenc\u0103, cu p\u0103rul r\u0103v\u0103\u0219it, vis\u00e2nd, probabil, la casa lor \u201enou\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Tanti Galia… nu \u0219tiu, \u2013 a spus el \u00een cele din urm\u0103, \u00eencet. \u2013 Nu cred c\u0103 e o idee bun\u0103…<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u00cen\u021beleg, \u2013 a zis femeia, vocea tremur\u00e2nd. \u2013 Iart\u0103-m\u0103 c\u0103 am \u00eendr\u0103znit.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b a r\u0103mas pe loc, sim\u021bind o greutate ciudat\u0103 \u00een piept. Cuvintele ei i se \u00eenv\u00e2rteau \u00een cap. \u201eA\u0219 g\u0103ti, a\u0219 face curat…\u201d \u2013 \u0219i-a amintit cum \u00eel a\u0219tepta mereu cu o farfurie de sarmale fierbin\u021bi, c\u00e2nd era copil. Cum \u00eei punea paltonul pe umeri c\u00e2nd venea ud leoarc\u0103 de la joac\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, a mers la apartament. Cheia s-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit greu \u00een broasc\u0103, ca \u0219i cum \u0219i u\u0219a nu voia s\u0103 se mai deschid\u0103 pentru el.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru, mirosul era acela\u0219i ca-n copil\u0103rie \u2013 s\u0103pun de rufe, ceai de tei \u0219i ceva dulce, abia scos din cuptor.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ai venit… \u2013 a zis tanti Galia, ridic\u00e2ndu-se de pe canapea. Avea ochii ro\u0219ii, dar z\u00e2mbea. \u2013 \u021ai-am p\u0103strat pl\u0103cint\u0103 cu mere. \u021aie \u00ee\u021bi pl\u0103cea, nu?<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b s-a uitat \u00een jur. Mobilierul era vechi, dar totul str\u0103lucea de cur\u0103\u021benie. Pe pervaz, o floare de mu\u0219cat\u0103 se sprijinea de lumin\u0103. Pe mas\u0103, o fa\u021b\u0103 de mas\u0103 brodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 zic\u0103 nimic. Tanti Galia i-a pus o bucat\u0103 de pl\u0103cint\u0103 pe farfurie. El a gustat. Gustul era acela\u0219i. Exact ca atunci.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Tanti Galia… dac\u0103… dac\u0103 v-a\u0219 l\u0103sa aici… doar o vreme… \u2013 a spus el, cu voce sc\u0103zut\u0103. \u2013 S\u0103 sta\u021bi lini\u0219tit\u0103, c\u00e2t o fi.<\/p>\n
Ea s-a oprit din mi\u0219care. Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu trebuie… \u2013 a \u0219optit ea. \u2013 E casa ta acum, Ionu\u021b. Eu doar…<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu, \u2013 a \u00eentrerupt-o el. \u2013 Dumneata ai fost ca o bunic\u0103 pentru mine. Bunicul nu m-ar fi vrut altfel.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva clipe au t\u0103cut am\u00e2ndoi. Afar\u0103 se auzeau copiii juc\u00e2ndu-se, la fel ca \u00een ziua c\u00e2nd ea se uita pe geam.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a plecat, Ionu\u021b s-a sim\u021bit mai u\u0219or. Nu c\u00e2\u0219tigase nimic \u00een plus, ba chiar renun\u021base la bani. Dar pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, inima \u00eei era \u00eemp\u0103cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns acas\u0103, Marina l-a privit uimit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ai fost acolo?<\/p>\n
\u2013 Da. R\u0103m\u00e2ne acolo, \u2013 a spus el. \u2013 Pe via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103, apoi a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Poate… a\u0219a era firesc, Ionu\u021b.<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Da. C\u00e2teodat\u0103, nu testamentul spune ce e drept. Ci sufletul.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00een clipa aceea, \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103, uneori, adev\u0103rata avere nu e un apartament, ci lini\u0219tea de a te \u0219ti om.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
