\u2013 Mam\u0103 Olga, \u0219tii, am vorbit cu Irina \u0219i ne-am g\u00e2ndit la ceva. Am vrea s\u0103 mergem cu to\u021bii c\u00e2teva zile la munte. Doar noi, f\u0103r\u0103 griji, f\u0103r\u0103 treburi. Ce zici?<\/p>\n
Olga a ridicat privirea, mirat\u0103. De ani buni, nu mai plecase nic\u0103ieri. Via\u021ba ei se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea \u00eentre bloc, magazin \u0219i apartamentul fiicei. A oftat u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ce munte, dragul meu? Cu ce bani? Astea-s vremuri grele.
\u2013 Nu-\u021bi face griji, am pus noi deoparte. Tu doar f\u0103-\u021bi bagajul, a z\u00e2mbit Victor.<\/p>\n
Nu voia s\u0103-i strice planurile, dar nici nu voia s\u0103 fie o povar\u0103. A\u0219a c\u0103, dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile, cu o geant\u0103 mic\u0103 \u0219i o inim\u0103 plin\u0103 de g\u00e2nduri, a urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Drumul p\u00e2n\u0103 la Sinaia i s-a p\u0103rut un vis. Mun\u021bii se ridicau seme\u021bi, iar p\u0103durile o f\u0103ceau s\u0103 uite pentru o clip\u0103 toate necazurile. C\u00e2nd au ajuns la caban\u0103, Iulia a s\u0103rit \u00een bra\u021bele ei.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bunico, uite, ninge! a strigat feti\u021ba cu obrajii ro\u0219ii.<\/p>\n
Olga a z\u00e2mbit. Z\u0103pada alb\u0103 \u00eei amintea de tinere\u021be, de vremurile c\u00e2nd mergea cu Vlad la munte, c\u00e2nd lumea p\u0103rea mai simpl\u0103. O lacrim\u0103 i s-a rostogolit pe obraz, dar a \u0219ters-o repede, s\u0103 nu vad\u0103 Irina.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, a redescoperit lini\u0219tea. Dimine\u021bile \u00eencepeau cu miros de cafea \u0219i r\u00e2sete de copil. Iar serile, l\u00e2ng\u0103 sob\u0103, Irina \u00eei spunea:
\u2013 Mam\u0103, \u0219tii… m\u0103 uit la tine \u0219i \u00eemi dau seama c\u00e2t de puternic\u0103 e\u0219ti. Ai trecut prin tot \u0219i e\u0219ti \u00eenc\u0103 \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
Olga a z\u00e2mbit, dar \u00een ochii ei se citea dorul.
\u2013 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 sunt puternic\u0103… Doar c\u0103 n-am avut \u00eencotro.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Victor a venit cu o foaie.
\u2013 Am vorbit cu un coleg. Au nevoie de cineva la birou, cu experien\u021b\u0103 tehnic\u0103. Nu e greu, \u0219i nici nu trebuie s\u0103 te deplasezi mult. Ce zici, te bagi?<\/p>\n
Olga a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.
\u2013 Eu? La cincizeci \u0219i unu de ani? Cine mai are nevoie de mine?
\u2013 Tocmai de tine, mam\u0103 Olga, c\u0103 ai minte limpede \u0219i \u0219tii meserie.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile de g\u00e2ndire, a acceptat. La \u00eenceput, timid\u0103, nesigur\u0103. Dar c\u00e2nd a p\u0103\u0219it \u00een noul birou \u0219i a sim\u021bit din nou mirosul h\u00e2rtiei \u0219i zgomotul tastaturilor, parc\u0103 a \u00eentinerit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen scurt timp, to\u021bi au \u00eenceput s-o respecte pentru calmul \u0219i precizia ei. Iar \u00eentr-o zi, directorul i-a spus:
\u2013 Doamn\u0103 Olga, nu \u0219tiu cum am lucrat f\u0103r\u0103 dumneavoastr\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 acum.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, s-a privit \u00een oglind\u0103 altfel. Nu ca o femeie p\u0103r\u0103sit\u0103, ci ca una care se ridicase din praf.<\/p>\n
Seara, acas\u0103, \u0219i-a deschis telefonul. Avea un mesaj de la Vlad.
\u201eLa mul\u021bi ani, Olga. \u00cemi pare r\u0103u pentru tot.\u201d<\/p>\n
A citit, a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i a \u0219ters mesajul. Nu mai avea nevoie de scuze.<\/p>\n
S-a dus \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, a pus ceaiul pe foc \u0219i a privit pe fereastr\u0103 ninsoarea care c\u0103dea u\u0219or. \u00cen cas\u0103 mirosea a lini\u0219te, iar \u00een sufletul ei, pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, era pace.<\/p>\n
Olga \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 via\u021ba nu se termin\u0103 la cincizeci de ani. C\u0103 uneori trebuie s\u0103 pierzi totul ca s\u0103 te reg\u0103se\u0219ti pe tine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a\u0219a, cu o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i z\u00e2mbetul nepoatei \u00een minte, a \u00een\u021beles: nu exist\u0103 v\u00e2rst\u0103 pentru un nou \u00eenceput.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2013 Mam\u0103 Olga, \u0219tii, am vorbit cu Irina \u0219i ne-am g\u00e2ndit la ceva.
