Fragil, decolorat, dar \u00eenc\u0103 sigilat. Numele meu era scris pe el, cu scrisul mamei: Pentru Lidia.<\/p>\n
Inima mi-a tres\u0103rit. Am stat mult timp privind plicul, apoi l-am desf\u0103cut cu grij\u0103. \u00cen\u0103untru, era doar o foaie.<\/p>\n
H\u00e2rtia era sub\u021bire, u\u0219or \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103, ca o amintire care nu voia s\u0103 se sting\u0103. Am deschis-o cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde, sim\u021bind cum lacrimile \u00eemi \u00eence\u021bo\u0219eaz\u0103 vederea.<\/p>\n
Scrisul mamei era acela\u0219i: rotund, ordonat, ca atunci c\u00e2nd \u00eemi l\u0103sa bile\u021bele pe frigider.<\/p>\n
\u201eDrag\u0103 Lidia,
Dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 via\u021ba m-a dus pe un drum de unde nu m-am mai putut \u00eentoarce. Nu am fugit de tine, iubita mea, ci de ceva ce nu puteam l\u0103sa s\u0103 te ating\u0103. Poate \u00eentr-o zi vei \u00een\u021belege.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103, cu h\u00e2rtia lipit\u0103 de piept. Cuvintele ei \u00eemi ardeau \u00een minte. Nu era o scrisoare de adio, ci mai degrab\u0103 o m\u0103rturisire. Ce putea fi at\u00e2t de grav \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 o fac\u0103 s\u0103 dispar\u0103 \u00een ziua nun\u021bii ei?<\/p>\n
Am citit mai departe, fiecare r\u00e2nd tremur\u00e2nd sub degetele mele.<\/p>\n
\u201eCu mult timp \u00eenainte s\u0103-l cunosc pe D\u0103nu\u021b, am f\u0103cut o gre\u0219eal\u0103. Am avut \u00eencredere \u00eentr-un om care mi-a promis totul \u0219i mi-a luat lini\u0219tea. C\u00e2nd am aflat c\u0103 vrea s\u0103-mi fac\u0103 r\u0103u din nou, \u0219tiam c\u0103 singura cale de a te proteja era s\u0103 plec. N-am vrut s\u0103 dispar. Dar dac\u0103 a\u0219 fi r\u0103mas, tu ai fi fost \u00een pericol.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum aerul din camer\u0103 devine greu. M-am a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului, iar rochia p\u0103rea acum un martor mut la tot ce se pierduse.<\/p>\n
\u201eTe-am iubit mai mult dec\u00e2t orice. Sper c\u0103 ai avut o via\u021b\u0103 frumoas\u0103, c\u0103 ai r\u00e2s, c\u0103 ai fost iubit\u0103. Nu l\u0103sa absen\u021ba mea s\u0103 te opreasc\u0103. Eu sunt acolo, \u00een fiecare z\u00e2mbet al t\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am izbucnit \u00een lacrimi. Ani de t\u0103cere, de durere \u0219i \u00eentreb\u0103ri s-au spart \u00een mine ca un val. \u00centr-un fel, mama se \u00eentorsese. Nu \u00een carne \u0219i oase, ci \u00een adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba urm\u0103toare, am dus scrisoarea la tata. Nu mai pl\u00e2nsese de ani de zile, dar de data asta lacrimile i-au curs f\u0103r\u0103 ru\u0219ine. \u201e\u0218tiam eu c\u0103 nu ne-a p\u0103r\u0103sit\u201d, a spus cu voce stins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 caut urme \u2014 nume, acte, orice ar fi putut lega acea scrisoare de un trecut ascuns. \u00cen arhivele vechi am g\u0103sit, dup\u0103 multe c\u0103ut\u0103ri, o pl\u00e2ngere depus\u0103 de mama \u00eempotriva unui b\u0103rbat, cu c\u00e2teva luni \u00eenainte de nunt\u0103. Era acuzat de violen\u021b\u0103 \u0219i \u0219antaj, dar cazul fusese \u00eenchis brusc, f\u0103r\u0103 explica\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Poate el o g\u0103sise. Poate fugise ca s\u0103-l evite. Poate fusese ajutat\u0103 s\u0103 dispar\u0103. Niciodat\u0103 n-am aflat sigur.<\/p>\n
Dar, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een dou\u0103zeci de ani, am sim\u021bit pace. Mama mea nu disp\u0103ruse f\u0103r\u0103 motiv. M\u0103 salvase.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua nun\u021bii mele, am purtat rochia ei. Am reparat tivul acolo unde fusese ascuns plicul, dar am l\u0103sat o mic\u0103 inim\u0103 cusut\u0103 \u00een acela\u0219i loc. C\u00e2nd am p\u0103\u0219it spre altar, m-am sim\u021bit ca \u0219i cum ar fi mers al\u0103turi de mine.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd preotul a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 jur s\u0103 iubesc \u0219i s\u0103 pre\u021buiesc, am spus \u201eDa\u201d, dar \u00een minte am ad\u0103ugat: \u201e\u0218i pentru tine, mam\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
La finalul ceremoniei, v\u00e2ntul a adiat u\u0219or, iar rochia s-a leg\u0103nat ca o respira\u021bie. Am \u0219tiut atunci c\u0103 ea era acolo \u2014 nu pierdut\u0103, ci acas\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
