Elena s-a aplecat u\u0219or, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama de ce. M\u00e2na ei, rece ca piatra, a atins palma mic\u0103 a copilului, iar un fior i-a str\u0103b\u0103tut tot trupul. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 acel gest simplu ascundea un adev\u0103r uria\u0219, un adev\u0103r care abia a\u0219tepta s\u0103 ias\u0103 la lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Cum te cheam\u0103, draga mea? a \u00eentrebat cu o voce mai bl\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Maria, a r\u0103spuns femeia \u0219optit, cu accent de provincie. \u2013 Maria Pop.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u0218i copilul?<\/p>\n
Maria a oftat ad\u00e2nc. Ochii ei s-au umplut din nou de lacrimi.
\u2013 Se nume\u0219te D\u0103nu\u021b, doamn\u0103… D\u0103nu\u021b Pop.<\/p>\n
Elena a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul p\u0103rea c\u0103 i se clatin\u0103 sub picioare. Numele acela… acel nume care o b\u00e2ntuia noapte de noapte. Nu era o coinciden\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 De ce… de ce i-a\u021bi pus numele fiului meu?<\/p>\n
Maria \u0219i-a mu\u0219cat buza. Privirea ei s-a pierdut pe marmura alb\u0103 din fa\u021b\u0103.
\u2013 Pentru c\u0103… el este fiul lui, doamn\u0103.<\/p>\n
Un v\u00e2nt rece a suflat printre cruci, iar lumea parc\u0103 a amu\u021bit. Elena a sim\u021bit cum inima \u00eei explodeaz\u0103 \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ce spune\u021bi?! a strigat aproape f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 respire.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
\u2013 Eu… am lucrat la funda\u021bia dumneavoastr\u0103 acum trei ani. El… fiul dumneavoastr\u0103… m-a ajutat c\u00e2nd eram pe drumuri. N-am vrut s\u0103 se afle. Mi-a fost ru\u0219ine. Dar acum, dup\u0103 ce el s-a dus… n-am mai putut tr\u0103i f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i ar\u0103t copilului morm\u00e2ntul tat\u0103lui lui.<\/p>\n
Elena sim\u021bea cum fiecare cuv\u00e2nt i se \u00eenfige \u00een inim\u0103. O amintire \u00eence\u021bo\u0219at\u0103 \u00eei revenea: o vizit\u0103 scurt\u0103 a lui D\u0103nu\u021b \u00eentr-un or\u0103\u0219el din Ardeal, c\u00e2nd spunea c\u0103 vrea \u201es\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 printre oameni simpli\u201d. Nu d\u0103duse importan\u021b\u0103 atunci.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la copil. Aceea\u0219i privire cald\u0103, acela\u0219i z\u00e2mbet din copil\u0103rie. Era ca o oglind\u0103 a fiului pierdut. Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii, dar le-a ascuns cu demnitate.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Maria… de ce nu mi-a\u021bi spus?<\/p>\n
\u2013 Pentru c\u0103 am \u0219tiut c\u0103 n-a\u021bi fi acceptat. Eu n-am avere, n-am nume. Doar un copil care n-a cerut s\u0103 vin\u0103 pe lume a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Elena a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103. G\u00e2ndurile i se amestecau, iar imaginea fiului ei p\u0103rea s\u0103-i vorbeasc\u0103 de undeva din trecut. \u201eMam\u0103, las\u0103 puterea. Iube\u0219te mai mult.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute de t\u0103cere, s-a aplecat spre Maria.
\u2013 Ridic\u0103-te, te rog. \u0218i vino m\u00e2ine la mine. Vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 ajut.<\/p>\n
Maria a cl\u0103tinat din cap, ru\u0219inat\u0103.
\u2013 Nu vreau bani, doamn\u0103… doar… s\u0103 \u0219tie c\u0103 are o bunic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au lovit-o ca un tr\u0103snet. \u00cen acel moment, Elena a sim\u021bit cum sufletul ei, gol de at\u00e2\u021bia ani, se umple din nou. A \u00eentins bra\u021bele spre copil, iar D\u0103nu\u021b cel mic s-a apropiat f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103. L-a luat \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i a sim\u021bit o c\u0103ldur\u0103 pe care nu o mai tr\u0103ise de c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i pierduse fiul.<\/p>\n
Cerul, p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci mohor\u00e2t, s-a luminat u\u0219or. O raz\u0103 de soare s-a strecurat printre nori, ating\u00e2nd piatra de marmur\u0103 alb\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi.
\u2013 Poate c\u0103 nu te-am pierdut cu totul, b\u0103iatul meu, a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Maria \u0219i copilul s-au ridicat, iar cele trei suflete au r\u0103mas acolo, unite printr-un destin pe care niciuna nu-l \u00een\u021belesese p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, Elena a sim\u021bit pace. Nu mai era doar o femeie bogat\u0103 \u0219i singur\u0103. Era din nou mam\u0103. Sau, poate, mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t \u2014 era bunic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een acel cimitir lini\u0219tit, \u00eentre crucile albe \u0219i frunzele de toamn\u0103, via\u021ba a \u00eenceput din nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
