Fata a \u00eencremenit. Ochii i s-au umbrit pentru o clip\u0103, iar z\u00e2mbetul i s-a \u0219ters.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mam\u0103, \u021bi-am spus s\u0103 nu-l \u00eentrebi despre asta… \u2013 a murmurat, \u0219i-a \u0219ters m\u00e2inile pe un prosop \u0219i a plecat \u00een camera ei.<\/p>\n
Maria a r\u0103mas \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, privind cum pic\u0103turile de ap\u0103 se prelingeau pe farfurii. Ce putea fi at\u00e2t de greu de spus? Ce ascundea b\u0103iatul acela?<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea n-a dormit. Petru sfor\u0103ia lini\u0219tit l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, dar Maria se tot fr\u0103m\u00e2nta, cu ochii \u00een tavan. A doua zi, c\u00e2nd Ioana a plecat la facultate, mama s-a a\u0219ezat la calculator \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 caute \u2013 colegiul unde \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba Andrei, pagini de Facebook, orice urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
A g\u0103sit o poz\u0103 veche. Andrei, un copil de vreo doisprezece ani, \u00eentr-un orfelinat. Sub poz\u0103, cineva comentase: \u201eAndrei, b\u0103iatul nostru cuminte, a plecat spre o via\u021b\u0103 mai bun\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Inima i s-a str\u00e2ns. A \u00eenchis laptopul \u0219i a r\u0103mas \u00een t\u0103cere. Acum \u00een\u021belegea. Poate de aceea Ioana \u00eei spusese s\u0103 nu \u00eentrebe.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd fata s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103, Maria o a\u0219tepta cu o can\u0103 de ceai.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ioana, \u0219tiu despre Andrei. Nu te sup\u0103ra c\u0103 am c\u0103utat.<\/p>\n
Fata a l\u0103sat ghiozdanul jos \u0219i s-a uitat lung la ea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 El n-a vrut s\u0103-\u021bi spun\u0103. Se ru\u0219ineaz\u0103. A crescut \u00eentr-un centru de plasament. Dar e un om bun, mam\u0103, nu-\u021bi po\u021bi imagina c\u00e2t de bun. M-a ajutat la examene, mi-a cump\u0103rat medicamente c\u00e2nd am fost bolnav\u0103, de\u0219i n-avea bani.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eentins m\u00e2na \u0219i i-a prins-o pe a ei.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu-l judec. Doar mi-ar fi pl\u0103cut s\u0103 \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, la pr\u00e2nz, Andrei a venit din nou. \u021ainea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 un buchet mic de flori \u2013 trei crizanteme galbene \u0219i o ramur\u0103 de verdea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bun\u0103 ziua, doamn\u0103 Maria, \u2013 a spus timid. \u2013 Am venit s\u0103 v\u0103 mul\u021bumesc pentru cin\u0103 de asear\u0103. \u0218i\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u dac\u0103 am p\u0103rut st\u00e2ngaci.<\/p>\n
Maria l-a privit altfel de data asta. \u00cen ochii lui era o c\u0103ldur\u0103 sincer\u0103, dar \u0219i un soi de team\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Las\u0103, dragule, to\u021bi am fost tineri, \u2013 i-a spus ea, invit\u00e2ndu-l \u00een cas\u0103. \u2013 Hai, stai jos, bem un ceai.<\/p>\n
Petru a ap\u0103rut \u00een prag, \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile \u00een \u0219old \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ei, b\u0103iete, am o ma\u0219in\u0103 \u00een curte care face figuri. Poate te ui\u021bi la ea?<\/p>\n
Andrei a z\u00e2mbit larg.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Sigur, domnule Petru, cu mare pl\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Au ie\u0219it am\u00e2ndoi afar\u0103, iar Ioana \u0219i mama au r\u0103mas \u00een u\u0219\u0103, privind. Pentru prima dat\u0103, Maria a sim\u021bit c\u0103 poate respira u\u0219urat\u0103. Nu pentru c\u0103 fata ei g\u0103sise un b\u0103iat, ci pentru c\u0103 acel b\u0103iat, crescut f\u0103r\u0103 familie, p\u0103rea s\u0103 fi \u00een\u021beles ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 respectul, bunul-sim\u021b \u0219i munca.<\/p>\n
Seara, c\u00e2nd au intrat \u00eenapoi \u00een cas\u0103, Petru a spus z\u00e2mbind:<\/p>\n
\u2013 M\u0103i, b\u0103iatul \u0103sta are aur \u00een m\u00e2ini. Mi-a pornit ma\u0219ina dintr-o nimica toat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria a r\u00e2s u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Poate c\u0103 are \u0219i aur \u00een suflet, Petru.<\/p>\n
Ioana l-a privit pe Andrei \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit cu ochii umezi. Era clar c\u0103 \u00eentre ei nu era doar o simpatie de tinere\u021be, ci \u00eenceputul a ceva adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele ce-au urmat, Andrei a tot venit prin preajm\u0103 \u2013 ba s\u0103 ajute la cump\u0103r\u0103turi, ba s\u0103 repare c\u00e2te ceva. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd to\u021bi trei st\u0103teau la mas\u0103, Maria a spus simplu:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ioana, dac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 o s\u0103-l iube\u0219ti cu adev\u0103rat, s\u0103 nu-\u021bi fie ru\u0219ine de el. C\u0103 nu conteaz\u0103 de unde vii, ci ce fel de om e\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Fata a dat din cap, iar \u00een ochii lui Andrei s-a v\u0103zut pentru prima dat\u0103 ceva ce Maria nu mai v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103: lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci, \u00een sufletul ei, mama a \u0219tiut c\u0103 a venit momentul s\u0103-\u0219i lase fiica s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 propriile alegeri, oric\u00e2t de nea\u0219teptate ar fi fost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
