A cobor\u00e2t sc\u0103rile \u00een fug\u0103, cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2ndu-i nebune\u0219te, \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 caute prin toat\u0103 curtea. Poarta era \u00eentredeschis\u0103, iar pe alee, urmele mici de pantofi se pierdeau \u00een praf. Maria a sim\u021bit cum genunchii i se \u00eenmoaie. A strigat din nou, dar tot ce i-a r\u0103spuns a fost lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
\u00centre timp, la cap\u0103tul str\u0103zii, gunoierul \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea treaba obi\u0219nuit\u0103. Se numea Gheorghe, un b\u0103rbat trecut de cincizeci de ani, cu o figur\u0103 bl\u00e2nd\u0103 \u0219i m\u00e2ini aspre de munc\u0103. C\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut-o pe feti\u021b\u0103 st\u00e2nd l\u00e2ng\u0103 tomberon, cu ochii mari \u0219i curio\u0219i, a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 diminea\u021ba, domni\u0219oar\u0103, a spus el, z\u00e2mbind. Ce faci tu aici, printre gunoaie?<\/p>\n
Ana nu a spus nimic. L-a privit doar, cu acei ochi limpezi care parc\u0103 citeau dincolo de oameni. Gheorghe a scotocit prin camion, a scos o cutie mic\u0103 din carton \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 aranjeze ceva \u00een ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite, vezi? Aici tr\u0103iesc vr\u0103biu\u021bele. A scos o firimitur\u0103 de p\u00e2ine \u0219i a \u00eentins-o spre o pas\u0103re care se apropia f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103. Feti\u021ba l-a privit fascinat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe i-a \u00eentins o bucat\u0103 de p\u00e2ine. Ana a luat-o, tremur\u00e2nd pu\u021bin, \u0219i a pus-o jos, exact unde \u00eei ar\u0103tase el. Pas\u0103rea s-a apropiat, a ciugulit \u0219i a zburat din nou. Feti\u021ba a z\u00e2mbit, pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a e, vezi? Dac\u0103 le vorbe\u0219ti frumos, te ascult\u0103, i-a spus b\u0103rbatul cu o voce bl\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat. Din pieptul Anei a ie\u0219it un sunet slab, ca o adiere. \u201ePas\u0103rea…\u201d a murmurat, aproape imperceptibil. Gheorghe a \u00eenlemnit. Nu era sigur dac\u0103 auzise bine, dar z\u00e2mbetul ei i-a confirmat totul.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Maria a ajuns, g\u00e2f\u00e2ind, la cap\u0103tul str\u0103zii, a v\u0103zut scena \u0219i s-a oprit brusc. Ana st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 gunoier, cu ochii plini de lumin\u0103, iar buzele ei se mi\u0219cau din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103…, a spus feti\u021ba, clar, pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria a izbucnit \u00een lacrimi \u0219i a c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi. Gheorghe s-a dat \u00eenapoi, stingherit, ne\u00een\u021beleg\u00e2nd cum un gest at\u00e2t de simplu putea deschide o u\u0219\u0103 pe care banii nu reu\u0219iser\u0103 s-o clatine.<\/p>\n
Ion a ap\u0103rut c\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, uluit. Privirea lui s-a oprit pe b\u0103rbatul cu salopet\u0103 verde \u0219i pe feti\u021ba care vorbea. S-a apropiat, ne\u0219tiind dac\u0103 s\u0103-l \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eze sau s\u0103-l \u00eentrebe cum f\u0103cuse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am f\u0103cut nimic, domnule, a spus Gheorghe, cu modestia omului simplu. Doar am ascultat-o f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tept s\u0103 zic\u0103 ceva.<\/p>\n
De atunci, via\u021ba familiei Dumitrescu s-a schimbat. Ion a \u00eenceput s\u0103 petreac\u0103 mai pu\u021bin timp la birou \u0219i mai mult acas\u0103, iar Maria a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 din nou. Gheorghe a primit un telefon de mul\u021bumire \u0219i o invita\u021bie la vil\u0103, dar a refuzat politicos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuie s\u0103-mi da\u021bi nimic, a zis el. Cuvintele Anei sunt cel mai frumos dar.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o lume \u00een care to\u021bi \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 cumpere fericirea, uneori e nevoie doar de un om simplu, un z\u00e2mbet sincer \u0219i un moment de t\u0103cere. Pentru c\u0103 unele miracole nu se fac cu bani, ci cu inim\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
