Femeia i-a pus banii \u00een \u0219or\u021b \u0219i a spus simplu: \u201eS\u0103-\u021bi ajung\u0103 \u0219i \u021bie, \u0219i fetei.\u201d Copilul i-a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i i-a f\u0103cut cu m\u00e2na Marei, pe care n-o v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103, dar parc\u0103 o cuno\u0219tea. \u00cen urma ei, alte dou\u0103 tinere s-au oprit, apoi un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum a pus c\u00e2teva bancnote f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tepte rest. Ca \u0219i cum bun\u0103tatea, odat\u0103 trezit\u0103, cheam\u0103 alt\u0103 bun\u0103tate pe nume.<\/p>\n
Omul \u00een uniform\u0103 a privit scena \u0219i s-a aplecat spre Anica: \u201eAscult\u0103, mamaie\u2026 dac\u0103 te mu\u021bi doi metri mai \u00eencolo, tehnic e\u0219ti \u00een afara perimetrului. Eu trec peste zece minute. S\u0103 nu te mai g\u0103sesc aici, c\u0103 altfel m\u0103 cost\u0103 p\u00e2inea copiilor mei.\u201d A plecat, iar Anica \u0219i-a mutat sc\u0103unelul exact doi metri mai \u00eencolo \u0219i a \u0219optit: \u201eDoamne, ai grij\u0103 \u0219i de omul \u0103sta.\u201d<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 la pr\u00e2nz, marfa s-a dus toat\u0103. B\u0103tr\u00e2na a pornit spre sat prin ploaie, cu pa\u0219ii grei, dar inima u\u0219oar\u0103. Se g\u00e2ndea la Mara \u0219i la bucuria ei. C\u00e2nd a ajuns acas\u0103, feti\u021ba a \u021bop\u0103it \u00een prag: \u201eMamaie, ai venit!\u201d \u00cen saco\u0219\u0103 erau un caiet, dou\u0103 creioane, un penar \u0219i dou\u0103 mere ro\u0219ii. \u201e\u0102stea-s pentru tine, minunea mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seara, dup\u0103 ce Mara a adormit, Anica a num\u0103rat banii pe mas\u0103. Nu erau mul\u021bi, dar erau suficien\u021bi pentru azi. \u0218i a oftat cu recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. \u201eNu pentru mine stau \u00een ploaie\u201d, \u0219i-a spus. \u201ePentru ea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut, iar Anica \u0219i-a f\u0103cut loc la marginea pie\u021bei. Oamenii au \u00eenceput s-o recunoasc\u0103 \u2013 \u201eMamaie cu laptele bun\u201d. Veneau \u0219i cump\u0103rau, unii pentru marf\u0103, al\u021bii pentru vorba ei bl\u00e2nd\u0103. \u00centr-o s\u00e2mb\u0103t\u0103, omul \u00een uniform\u0103 s-a oprit \u0219i i-a l\u0103sat o pung\u0103 cu p\u00e2ine: \u201ePentru nepoat\u0103\u201d, a spus, \u0219i a plecat repede, cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
A venit o iarn\u0103 grea, satul a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 drumuri, dar Anica a mers p\u00e2n\u0103 la vecina cu trei copii \u0219i i-a l\u0103sat un bidon cu lapte la poart\u0103. \u201eE cald, pentru micu\u021bi.\u201d Mara a v\u0103zut-o \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se \u0219i i-a spus: \u201eMamaie, tu e\u0219ti bun\u0103.\u201d \u201eNu sunt bun\u0103\u201d, i-a r\u0103spuns b\u0103tr\u00e2na. \u201eSunt doar un om care \u0219tie cum e s\u0103 \u021bi se fac\u0103 dor \u0219i foame.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prim\u0103verile \u0219i toamnele s-au tot \u00eentors. Mara a crescut, a ajuns la liceu, a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat bine. \u00centr-o zi, a venit acas\u0103 cu o scrisoare: \u201eBurs\u0103 de merit.\u201d Anica a \u021binut h\u00e2rtia aceea ca pe o bijuterie. A pl\u00e2ns \u0219i i-a scris pe caiet: \u201eS\u0103 nu te ru\u0219inezi de laptele \u0219i br\u00e2nza care te-au crescut. Ele te-au \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat demnitatea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ani mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103 ploioas\u0103, Anica s-a a\u0219ezat la col\u021bul ei din pia\u021b\u0103. O femeie t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103 s-a apropiat cu o umbrel\u0103 mare \u0219i a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at-o. \u201eMamaie, eu sunt Mara. Am venit s\u0103 te iau acas\u0103. Am intrat la facultate \u0219i am g\u0103sit un program pentru produc\u0103tori locali. O s\u0103 ai taraba ta, cu numele t\u0103u: \u00abLapte de la Mamaie Anica\u00bb. N-o s\u0103 te mai goneasc\u0103 nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i a \u00eenchis ochii, ca s\u0103-l aud\u0103 mai bine pe Ion r\u00e2z\u00e2nd din pragul vechi al casei.<\/p>\n
Povestea Anic\u0103i nu e despre amar. E despre iubire, despre cum dou\u0103 g\u0103letu\u0219e de br\u00e2nz\u0103 pot duce un vis p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103tul lumii. Despre cum demnitatea nu se strig\u0103, se poart\u0103 \u00een palme.<\/p>\n
Iar dac\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi vei trece prin pia\u021b\u0103 \u0219i vei vedea taraba \u201eLapte de la Mamaie Anica\u201d, opre\u0219te-te o clip\u0103. O vei vedea acolo, cu z\u00e2mbetul bl\u00e2nd \u0219i cu un afi\u0219 mic scris de m\u00e2n\u0103: Femeia i-a pus banii \u00een \u0219or\u021b \u0219i a spus simplu: \u201eS\u0103-\u021bi ajung\u0103 \u0219i \u021bie, \u0219i fetei.\u201d Copilul i-a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i i-a f\u0103cut cu m\u00e2na Marei, pe care n-o v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103, dar parc\u0103 o cuno\u0219tea. \u00cen urma ei, alte dou\u0103 tinere s-au oprit, apoi un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum a pus c\u00e2teva bancnote f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tepte rest.
