C\u00e2nd Paloma a cobor\u00e2t cu feti\u021ba, buc\u0103t\u0103ria era pustie. Pe mas\u0103, doar o can\u0103 de cafea r\u0103mas\u0103 de diminea\u021b\u0103 \u0219i ni\u0219te farfurii nesp\u0103late. A deschis frigiderul: c\u00e2teva felii de \u0219unc\u0103 uscat\u0103, o bucat\u0103 de br\u00e2nz\u0103 \u0219i ni\u0219te mere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite, iubito, hai s\u0103 facem un sandvi\u0219. \u021aie \u00ee\u021bi place br\u00e2nza?
Camelia a dat din cap \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun, privind-o pe Paloma cum se mi\u0219ca prin buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd i-a \u00eentins farfuria, feti\u021ba a luat prima mu\u0219c\u0103tur\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenchis ochii, ca \u0219i cum ar fi sim\u021bit cel mai bun gust din lume. Paloma a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a-i mai bine, nu-i a\u0219a?
\u2014 Da\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit Camelia. \u2014 Nimeni nu-mi mai face m\u00e2ncare.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu, ca o piatr\u0103. \u00cen clipa aceea, Paloma \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 fata nu era doar fl\u0103m\u00e2nd\u0103, ci \u0219i singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce au m\u00e2ncat, Camelia s-a lipit de ea, cu bra\u021bele mici \u00een jurul taliei.
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, tanti Paloma.<\/p>\n
Paloma a sim\u021bit o c\u0103ldur\u0103 pe care nu o mai tr\u0103ise de mult. Venise doar pentru un loc de munc\u0103, dar ceva \u00een ochii acelei feti\u021be \u00eei spunea c\u0103 via\u021ba ei urma s\u0103 se schimbe.<\/p>\n
Zilele urm\u0103toare, Paloma a \u00eencercat s\u0103 aduc\u0103 lumin\u0103 \u00een casa aceea rece. \u00cei citea Cameliei pove\u0219ti, \u00eei lega p\u0103rul \u00een codi\u021be, \u00eei sp\u0103la hainele \u0219i \u00eei vorbea cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be. Feti\u021ba z\u00e2mbea tot mai des.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eentr-o sear\u0103, Veronica s-a \u00eentors mai devreme dec\u00e2t de obicei. A intrat val-v\u00e2rtej \u00een sufragerie \u0219i a v\u0103zut-o pe Camelia dormind cu capul \u00een poala Palomei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta? \u2014 a strigat ea. \u2014 N-am angajat pe nimeni s\u0103 joace rolul de mam\u0103!<\/p>\n
Paloma s-a ridicat calm.
\u2014 Cu tot respectul, doamn\u0103, feti\u021ba are nevoie de afec\u021biune. Nu doar de haine scumpe.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-mi da mie lec\u021bii! \u2014 a izbucnit Veronica \u0219i a tr\u00e2ntit un plic pe mas\u0103. \u2014 Aici ai banii pentru s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na asta. Po\u021bi pleca acum.<\/p>\n
Paloma a luat plicul, dar nu pentru bani. L-a deschis, a scos bancnotele \u0219i le-a pus pe mas\u0103.
\u2014 Nu stau pentru bani, doamn\u0103. Stau pentru Camelia.<\/p>\n
Veronica a r\u0103mas mut\u0103. Niciun om nu-i vorbise vreodat\u0103 a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, tat\u0103l fetei, domnul Radu, s-a \u00eentors dintr-o c\u0103l\u0103torie de afaceri. A g\u0103sit casa t\u0103cut\u0103, feti\u021ba z\u00e2mbitoare \u0219i o femeie simpl\u0103, dar cu o privire senin\u0103, care g\u0103tea sup\u0103 \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine e\u0219ti? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat curios.
\u2014 M\u0103 cheam\u0103 Paloma. Am grij\u0103 de Camelia.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut cum feti\u021ba alearg\u0103 spre ea, strig\u00e2nd \u201emami Paloma!\u201d, Radu a sim\u021bit o str\u00e2ngere \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
De-atunci, lucrurile s-au schimbat. Veronica a plecat din via\u021ba lor, iar casa s-a umplut de r\u00e2sete, miros de ciorb\u0103 \u0219i desen animat la televizor.<\/p>\n
Paloma nu s-a g\u00e2ndit niciodat\u0103 c\u0103 un simplu gest \u2014 o felie de p\u00e2ine \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet cald \u2014 putea schimba o via\u021b\u0103. Dar \u00eentr-o lume \u00een care unii oameni au totul \u0219i uit\u0103 ce e iubirea, ea a ar\u0103tat c\u0103 uneori inima unui om simplu poate vindeca chiar \u0219i sufletele celor mai boga\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a\u0219a, \u00een locul unde c\u00e2ndva se auzeau doar \u021bipete \u0219i u\u0219i tr\u00e2ntite, acum r\u0103suna r\u00e2sul curat al unei feti\u021be care, pentru prima oar\u0103, se sim\u021bea iubit\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
