Am sim\u021bit cum mi se taie picioarele \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat pe scaunul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 sob\u0103. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te, iar mintea \u00eemi era plin\u0103 de \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Valeriu s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een fa\u021ba mea, cu copilul \u00een bra\u021be, \u0219i a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103mico, \u0219tiu c\u0103 o s\u0103 te superi, dar vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 ascul\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 putere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103t\u0103lina a fost colega mea de la internat. Ne-am \u00eendr\u0103gostit. Nu \u0219tiu cum s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, dar… a r\u0103mas \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103. C\u00e2nd p\u0103rin\u021bii ei au aflat, au dat-o afar\u0103 din cas\u0103. A venit la mine pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd, iar eu… n-am \u0219tiut ce s\u0103 fac.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui erau plini de lacrimi, iar vocea \u00eei tremura. Copilul a \u00eenceput s\u0103 sc\u00e2nceasc\u0103, iar Valeriu i-a f\u0103cut semn u\u0219or cu palma, leg\u0103n\u00e2ndu-l.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea n-a rezistat mult, mam\u0103. Dup\u0103 ce a n\u0103scut, a plecat. Mi-a l\u0103sat un bilet \u0219i feti\u021ba. Scria doar c\u0103 nu poate, c\u0103 n-are puterea s\u0103 fie mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sim\u021beam cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul. Mi se p\u0103rea nedrept \u0219i prea mult pentru un copil de \u0219aisprezece ani. Dar \u00een acela\u0219i timp, nu puteam s\u0103 nu-l admir. \u021ainea acel bebelu\u0219 cu o grij\u0103 \u0219i o dragoste care nu se pot \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba din c\u0103r\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum o cheam\u0103 pe feti\u021b\u0103? am \u00eentrebat eu, abia \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria, a zis el. Dup\u0103 tine, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Nu mai conta nimic. Nu gre\u0219ise cu r\u0103utate, doar c\u0103 via\u021ba i-a pus \u00een bra\u021be o responsabilitate uria\u0219\u0103 prea devreme.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 ne obi\u0219nuim cu noua noastr\u0103 via\u021b\u0103. Dimine\u021bile \u00eencepeau cu pl\u00e2nsul Mariei \u0219i cu pa\u0219ii gr\u0103bi\u021bi ai lui Valeriu care \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba s\u0103 schimbe scutece. Eu f\u0103ceam laptele, el \u00eencerca s\u0103 adoarm\u0103 copilul. Uneori ne prindea ziu\u0103 r\u00e2z\u00e2nd, alteori pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd am\u00e2ndoi de oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vecinii vorbeau. Unii m\u0103 priveau cu mil\u0103, al\u021bii cu dispre\u021b. Dar am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 nu mai dau importan\u021b\u0103. Am \u0219tiut c\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba mea am un fiu care a ales s\u0103 nu fug\u0103, s\u0103-\u0219i asume totul.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Valeriu s-a \u00eentors la \u0219coal\u0103, iar eu am r\u0103mas cu Maria. M\u0103 trezeam noaptea, o priveam dormind \u0219i sim\u021beam cum ceva \u00een mine rena\u0219te. Poate via\u021ba mi-l luase pe b\u0103rbatul meu, dar acum \u00eemi d\u0103dea o nou\u0103 \u0219ans\u0103 \u2013 o feti\u021b\u0103 care m\u0103 umplea de lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, c\u00e2nd Valeriu a venit \u00een vacan\u021b\u0103, mi-a spus:
\u2014 Mam\u0103, m-am hot\u0103r\u00e2t. O s\u0103 muncesc, o s\u0103 termin \u0219coala, dar nu o s\u0103-mi las fata niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i s-a \u021binut de cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, dup\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva ani, Maria alearg\u0103 prin curte, cu codi\u021bele flutur\u00e2nd \u0219i cu z\u00e2mbetul p\u00e2n\u0103 la urechi. Iar eu, privind la ei, \u0219tiu c\u0103 via\u021ba, oric\u00e2t de grea ar fi, \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 uneori daruri nea\u0219teptate.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd \u00ee\u021bi \u021bii copilul sau nepoata \u00een bra\u021be, nu te mai g\u00e2nde\u0219ti la ce zice lumea. Te g\u00e2nde\u0219ti doar c\u0103 iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu are v\u00e2rst\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103 uneori, chiar \u0219i dintr-o gre\u0219eal\u0103, se poate na\u0219te un miracol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
