Am sim\u021bit cum picioarele mi se \u00eenmoaie, iar lumea din jur s-a f\u0103cut mic\u0103, ca \u0219i cum aerul nu mai ajungea p\u00e2n\u0103 la mine. \u021aineam telefonul lipit de ureche, dar degetele \u00eemi tremurau at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t era s\u0103-l scap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum\u2026 cine, tat\u0103? Cine ar face a\u0219a ceva? am reu\u0219it s\u0103 spun printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mai sta acolo, pleac\u0103 imediat, mi-a spus el. \u201eDu-te \u00een spatele blocului, la vecina ta, tanti Elena. Ea e de \u00eencredere. Te rog, ascult\u0103-m\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am luat-o pe aleea \u00eengust\u0103 dintre blocuri, cu Matei str\u00e2ns la piept, \u00eenvelit \u00een p\u0103turica albastr\u0103. B\u0103tr\u00e2na disp\u0103ruse. Ca \u0219i cum n-ar fi fost niciodat\u0103 acolo. Doar o d\u00e2r\u0103 u\u0219oar\u0103 de miros de busuioc a r\u0103mas \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am b\u0103tut la u\u0219a Elenei. Mi-a deschis speriat\u0103, c\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut pl\u00e2ns\u0103 \u0219i tremur\u00e2nd.
\u2014 Fata mea, ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103-\u021bi explic acum\u2026 trebuie doar s\u0103 intru pu\u021bin. E ceva\u2026 ceva r\u0103u \u00een apartamentul meu.<\/p>\n
Ea m-a tras repede \u00een\u0103untru \u0219i mi-a pus o can\u0103 de ap\u0103 pe mas\u0103. M-am a\u0219ezat, dar inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t sim\u021beam cum \u00eemi tremur\u0103 tot corpul. M-am uitat la ceas \u2014 trecuser\u0103 zece minute.<\/p>\n
Zece minute p\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103-l v\u0103d pe tata. Sau\u2026 pe cineva care pretindea c\u0103 e el.<\/p>\n
Telefonul a vibra din nou.
\u2014 Tat\u0103?
\u2014 Natalia, sunt aproape. Nu te mi\u0219ca de acolo.<\/p>\n
Apoi am auzit, la televizorul Elenei, o \u0219tire de ultim\u0103 or\u0103: \u201eAlert\u0103 \u00een cartierul Obor. Un apartament a fost evacuat dup\u0103 descoperirea unui dispozitiv exploziv improvizat. Poli\u021bia confirm\u0103 c\u0103 femeia care trebuia s\u0103 intre \u00een locuin\u021b\u0103 a fost avertizat\u0103 de o persoan\u0103 necunoscut\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena s-a uitat la mine cu ochii mari.
\u2014 Natalia\u2026 e blocul t\u0103u!<\/p>\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile. Am str\u00e2ns copilul la piept \u0219i am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, am auzit o b\u0103taie puternic\u0103 \u00een u\u0219\u0103. Inima mi-a s\u0103rit din piept. Elena s-a dus s\u0103 deschid\u0103. \u00cen prag st\u0103tea un b\u0103rbat cu haine simple, ude de ploaie. P\u0103rul grizonat, ochii aceia calzi pe care nu-i mai v\u0103zusem de ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103\u2026 am \u0219optit, f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
El a venit \u00eencet, m-a privit lung \u0219i m-a luat \u00een bra\u021be. Mirosea la fel ca atunci, a fum de lemne \u0219i ap\u0103 de colonie veche.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00eentreba nimic acum, mi-a spus el. \u201eTot ce conteaz\u0103 e c\u0103 e\u0219ti bine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen jurul nostru se auzeau sirene \u0219i zgomotul pompierilor. Blocul meu era \u00eenconjurat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar cum e posibil? am \u00eentrebat printre sughi\u021buri. \u201eTe-am v\u0103zut\u2026 am fost la \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
El a oftat ad\u00e2nc.
\u2014 A trebuit s\u0103 dispar. Era singura cale s\u0103 v\u0103 protejez. Eram implicat \u00eentr-o anchet\u0103, iar cei pe care i-am denun\u021bat m-au crezut mort. Dar azi\u2026 azi te-au g\u0103sit.<\/p>\n
Totul s-a n\u0103ruit \u00een mine. Ani de durere, de dor, de \u00eentreb\u0103ri, iar acum adev\u0103rul st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas a\u0219a mult timp, \u00een t\u0103cere, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-l pe Matei \u00eentre noi, ca pe o punte \u00eentre trecut \u0219i prezent.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd poli\u021bia a venit s\u0103 ia declara\u021bii, el a plecat din nou, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 unde. Doar mi-a l\u0103sat \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 un bile\u021bel:
\u201eC\u00e2nd e\u0219ti \u00een pericol, nu uita \u2014 s\u00e2ngele cheam\u0103 s\u00e2nge. Eu voi fi mereu aproape.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am pl\u00e2ns toat\u0103 noaptea, dar de data asta nu mai era durere. Era recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. Pentru via\u021b\u0103, pentru copil, pentru o a doua \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
Uneori, mai aud noaptea un telefon necunoscut sun\u00e2nd scurt, apoi lini\u0219te. \u0218i \u0219tiu. E el. Undeva, \u00eenc\u0103 vegheaz\u0103 asupra noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
