\u00cen zilele care au urmat, ceva s-a schimbat \u00een atmosfera din cas\u0103.
Roman observa \u00een t\u0103cere cum Clara \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea treaba f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 caute aten\u021bia nim\u0103nui. Era aceea\u0219i femeie modest\u0103, cu privirea bl\u00e2nd\u0103, care \u00ee\u0219i prindea p\u0103rul \u00eentr-un coc simplu \u0219i z\u00e2mbea de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd o vedea pe Amalia.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, feti\u021ba a venit la tat\u0103l ei cu o foaie colorat\u0103.
\u2014 Uite, am desenat familia noastr\u0103, i-a spus ea.
Roman a privit atent: el, Amalia \u0219i Clara. To\u021bi trei \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai pus-o pe Clara aici? a \u00eentrebat el, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se mirat.
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 e mama mea, a spus Amalia, ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost cel mai firesc lucru din lume.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele acelea i-au r\u0103mas lui Roman \u00een minte toat\u0103 ziua.
Seara, a chemat-o pe Clara \u00een birou.
\u2014 Spune-mi sincer, a \u00eenceput el, te-a rugat Amalia s\u0103 joci teatru?
Clara s-a oprit \u00een prag, \u00eencurcat\u0103.
\u2014 Nu, domnule L\u0103nescu. Eu\u2026 doar am avut grij\u0103 de ea. Nimic mai mult.<\/p>\n
Roman a t\u0103cut. \u00cen fa\u021ba lui nu st\u0103tea o femeie care c\u0103uta avere, ci una care \u0219tia ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 bun\u0103tatea. \u00centr-un gest nea\u0219teptat, el i-a oferit o can\u0103 de ceai \u0219i i-a spus:
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 ai fost l\u00e2ng\u0103 fata mea atunci c\u00e2nd eu nu am putut.<\/p>\n
Zilele s-au transformat \u00een s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, iar casa p\u0103rea alta. Amalia r\u00e2dea din nou, iar Clara devenise sufletul locului. F\u0103cea pl\u0103cinte calde, \u00eempletea p\u0103rul feti\u021bei \u00eenainte de \u0219coal\u0103 \u0219i \u00eel a\u0219tepta pe Roman cu masa pus\u0103. Nu ca o slujnic\u0103, ci ca o femeie care avea grij\u0103 de familie.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 ploioas\u0103, c\u00e2nd curentul s-a oprit, Clara a adus lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u0219i s-au a\u0219ezat to\u021bi trei l\u00e2ng\u0103 \u0219emineu. Amalia a adormit cu capul \u00een poala ei, iar Roman privea scena \u00een t\u0103cere. \u00centr-un moment de sinceritate, i-a spus:
\u2014 Ea nu a gre\u0219it c\u00e2nd te-a ales.<\/p>\n
Clara s-a uitat la el, surprins\u0103.
\u2014 Eu nu\u2026 n-am vrut s\u0103\u2026
\u2014 \u0218tiu, a \u00eentrerupt-o el. Dar cred c\u0103 nici eu nu am mai fost acela\u0219i om de c\u00e2nd a murit so\u021bia mea. Tu ai adus lini\u0219tea \u00eenapoi \u00een casa asta.<\/p>\n
Ploaia b\u0103tea u\u0219or \u00een geam, iar focul trosnea. Pentru prima dat\u0103, Roman \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 fericirea nu st\u0103 \u00een lux, ci \u00een oamenii simpli care \u0219tiu s\u0103 iubeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Peste c\u00e2teva luni, \u00een curtea vilei s-au auzit r\u00e2sete \u0219i clinchet de pahare. Roman \u0219i Clara se c\u0103s\u0103toreau \u00eentr-o ceremonie mic\u0103, doar cu rude apropiate. Amalia purta o rochi\u021b\u0103 alb\u0103 \u0219i arunca flori dintr-un co\u0219ule\u021b.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd preotul i-a \u00eentrebat pe Roman \u0219i Clara dac\u0103 se primesc unul pe altul, Amalia a strigat vesel\u0103:
\u2014 Da, o vreau pe mama mea!<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 lumea a r\u00e2s, iar Roman a privit spre Clara cu ochii umezi. Via\u021ba \u00eei ar\u0103tase c\u0103 uneori, cele mai mari daruri vin atunci c\u00e2nd nu mai a\u0219tep\u021bi nimic.<\/p>\n
\u0218i de atunci, familia L\u0103nescu a r\u0103mas unit\u0103, nu prin avere, ci prin dragoste adev\u0103rat\u0103 \u2014 dragostea unei feti\u021be care a \u0219tiut mai bine ca oricine ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 o inim\u0103 bun\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
