A r\u0103mas acolo, \u00een prag, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. \u00cel durea s\u0103 vad\u0103 c\u00e2t de bine se descurcau f\u0103r\u0103 el. Clara a observat mi\u0219carea din col\u021bul ochiului \u0219i s-a \u00eentors. S-a ridicat repede, ru\u0219inat\u0103, dar Radu a f\u0103cut un semn u\u0219or cu m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te opri, i-a spus cu o voce bl\u00e2nd\u0103, pe care nici el nu o mai recuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a ridicat entuziasmat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati! Ai venit! Uite, am f\u0103cut un desen cu noi!<\/p>\n
A alergat spre el \u0219i i l-a ar\u0103tat, iar Radu \u0219i-a pus ochelarii ca s\u0103-l vad\u0103 mai bine. \u00cen desen, el era acolo, z\u00e2mbind, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2n\u0103 cu ei. De\u0219i m\u00e2na care \u00eel desenase era mic\u0103 \u0219i st\u00e2ngace, imaginea \u00eel lovea mai tare dec\u00e2t orice cifr\u0103 din conturile lui bancare.<\/p>\n
Ilie s-a apropiat \u0219i el, \u021bin\u00e2nd \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 micul robot.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite, tata, l-am f\u0103cut cu Clara. Merge!<\/p>\n
Robotul scotea ni\u0219te sunete ciudate, dar copilul era m\u00e2ndru de el. Radu s-a aplecat \u0219i l-a luat \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, privindu-l ca pe o comoar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E minunat, Ilie… e minunat, a spus el, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
Clara \u00eei privea cu un z\u00e2mbet timid. Nu voia s\u0103-l stinghereasc\u0103, dar \u00een acela\u0219i timp se bucura sincer c\u0103 tat\u0103l copiilor lui p\u0103rea, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, prezent.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103 las s\u0103 petrece\u021bi timp \u00eempreun\u0103, a spus ea \u00eencet, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un pas \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
Dar Radu s-a ridicat \u0219i i-a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, r\u0103m\u00e2i. Te rog. Ai fost mai mult o familie pentru ei dec\u00e2t am fost eu \u00een ultimii ani.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele l-au surprins chiar \u0219i pe el. Clara a clipit des, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 emo\u021bia. Copiii s-au bucurat \u0219i au tras-o de m\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 stea din nou jos.<\/p>\n
Orele au trecut f\u0103r\u0103 ca nimeni s\u0103 se uite la ceas. Au pictat, au m\u00e2ncat pr\u0103jituri \u0219i au r\u00e2s p\u00e2n\u0103 t\u00e2rziu. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Radu nu s-a mai g\u00e2ndit la afaceri, la \u0219edin\u021be sau la bani. S-a g\u00e2ndit doar la cum pierduse at\u00e2\u021bia ani urm\u0103rind lucruri care nu-l f\u0103ceau fericit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce copiii au adormit, el \u0219i Clara au r\u0103mas \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Ea sp\u0103la farfuriile, iar el st\u0103tea cu coatele pe mas\u0103, privind-o \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Le-ai oferit dragoste, a spus el, \u00een timp ce-\u0219i trecea m\u00e2na peste fa\u021b\u0103. Eu le-am oferit… o cas\u0103 rece \u0219i plin\u0103 de t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Clara s-a \u00eentors, z\u00e2mbind u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Copiii nu au nevoie de palate, domnule Costache. Au nevoie s\u0103 fie asculta\u021bi, \u021binu\u021bi \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i \u00een\u021bele\u0219i.<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap, sim\u021bind cum i se rupe ceva \u00een interior. Apoi, aproape f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103, a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te rog… nu-mi mai spune domnule Costache. Spune-mi doar Radu.<\/p>\n
Clara a z\u00e2mbit din nou, dar n-a r\u0103spuns. A terminat de sp\u0103lat vasele \u0219i s-a \u00eendreptat spre ie\u0219ire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Noapte bun\u0103, Radu, a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
El a r\u0103mas singur, \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria care mirosea a pr\u0103jituri \u0219i a copil\u0103rie. Pe mas\u0103, desenul Sofiei \u0219i robotul lui Ilie p\u0103reau s\u0103-l priveasc\u0103. \u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, miliardarul Radu Costache a sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai vrea s\u0103 fie doar bogat. Vroia s\u0103 fie tat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd copiii s-au trezit, l-au g\u0103sit deja \u00een pijamale, preg\u0103tind cl\u0103tite. Clara a intrat uimit\u0103 \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, iar el i-a z\u00e2mbit larg.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Azi nu mai merg la birou, a spus el. Azi… r\u0103m\u00e2n acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Copiii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 aplaude, iar Clara a r\u00e2s. Radu a \u00een\u021beles atunci, mai clar ca niciodat\u0103, c\u0103 fericirea nu st\u0103 \u00een conturi, ci \u00een z\u00e2mbetele celor care te iubesc f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le cumperi dragostea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, privind c\u0103tre cei trei, a \u0219tiut c\u0103 via\u021ba lui abia acum \u00eencepea cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
