A r\u0103mas \u00eenlemnit, incapabil s\u0103 fac\u0103 un pas. Parc\u0103 tot ce-l \u00eenconjura disp\u0103ruse: zgomotul trenurilor, vocile oamenilor, mirosul amar al g\u0103rii. \u00cen urechi \u00eei r\u0103suna doar ecoul propriilor cuvinte: \u201eNu-\u021bi dau bani de medicamente, stai pe strad\u0103!\u201d<\/p>\n
Se aplec\u0103 \u00eencet \u0219i \u00eei atinse m\u00e2inile reci. Pe degetul ei mic \u00eenc\u0103 str\u0103lucea o verighet\u0103 sub\u021bire, uzat\u0103 de ani. Iar pe buze, parc\u0103 se p\u0103strase o urm\u0103 de z\u00e2mbet, de parc\u0103 \u0219i \u00een clipa mor\u021bii \u00eel iertase.<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103rul sim\u021bi cum genunchii \u00eei cedeaz\u0103. Se pr\u0103bu\u0219i l\u00e2ng\u0103 trupul mamei, cu fa\u021ba \u00een palme, \u0219i pl\u00e2nse pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp. Pl\u00e2ngea nu doar pentru ea, ci \u0219i pentru omul care devenise \u2014 un om pe care nici ea nu l-ar fi recunoscut.<\/p>\n
O femeie care \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bea ceai cald oamenilor f\u0103r\u0103 ad\u0103post s-a apropiat.
\u2014 Era o femeie bun\u0103, spunea mereu c\u0103 are un b\u0103iat\u2026 C\u0103 o s\u0103 vin\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi dup\u0103 ea, zise bl\u00e2nd femeia, pun\u00e2ndu-i o p\u0103tur\u0103 peste trup.<\/p>\n
El nu a putut r\u0103spunde. \u00cen t\u0103cerea grea a dimine\u021bii, fiecare suflare p\u0103rea o pedeaps\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, a mers la biseric\u0103. A aprins o lum\u00e2nare \u0219i a stat \u00een genunchi, cu ochii \u00een lacrimi. Preotul, un om b\u0103tr\u00e2n cu glas bl\u00e2nd, s-a apropiat de el.
\u2014 Dumnezeu iart\u0103 pe oricine cere iertare din inim\u0103, fiule, i-a spus acesta. Dar s\u0103 nu ui\u021bi: faptele au glas mai tare dec\u00e2t rug\u0103ciunile.<\/p>\n
Din acea zi, via\u021ba lui s-a schimbat. A v\u00e2ndut apartamentul, \u0219i cu banii a cump\u0103rat o cas\u0103 mic\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 un azil. \u00cen fiecare zi venea acolo cu m\u00e2ncare, haine \u0219i medicamente. Le vorbea b\u0103tr\u00e2nilor, le asculta pove\u0219tile, le sp\u0103la rufele, le ducea ap\u0103.<\/p>\n
Unii \u00eel priveau cu suspiciune \u2014 \u201ece caut\u0103 t\u00e2n\u0103rul \u0103sta printre noi?\u201d \u2014 dar el nu explica nimic. Doar z\u00e2mbea \u0219i spunea:
\u2014 Aici \u00eemi g\u0103sesc lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, o b\u0103tr\u00e2nic\u0103 i-a spus:
\u2014 Se vede c\u0103 ai pierdut pe cineva drag, altfel n-ai avea at\u00e2ta bun\u0103tate \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
El a \u00eencuviin\u021bat t\u0103cut, iar o lacrim\u0103 i-a c\u0103zut pe m\u00e2inile ei.
\u2014 Am pierdut tot ce aveam mai sf\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Anii au trecut, dar \u00een fiecare zi, c\u00e2nd se oprea \u00een fa\u021ba unei icoane, rostea aceea\u0219i rug\u0103ciune:
\u201eMam\u0103, iart\u0103-m\u0103. \u00ce\u021bi duc iubirea mai departe, cum ai vrut tu.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i de atunci, de c\u00e2te ori un om singur primea o m\u00e2n\u0103 de ajutor, parc\u0103 o raz\u0103 bl\u00e2nd\u0103 de lumin\u0103 c\u0103dea peste chipul lui.
Unii ziceau c\u0103 e doar soarele. Dar el \u0219tia c\u0103 era altceva. Era mama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
