Privirea lui s-a \u00eent\u00e2lnit cu a ei pentru doar c\u00e2teva secunde, dar acel moment a fost suficient ca trecutul s\u0103 se pr\u0103bu\u0219easc\u0103 peste am\u00e2ndoi. Camelia \u0219i-a tras m\u00e2inile, dar nu s-a \u00eendep\u0103rtat. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 sufletul ei recunoa\u0219te un om pe care crezuse c\u0103 l-a pierdut demult.<\/p>\n
Ricardo clipi des, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 alunge imaginea unei feti\u021be r\u00e2z\u00e2nde, cu genunchii juli\u021bi, care alerga prin curtea casei de la \u021bar\u0103. \u201eNu se poate…\u201d, \u0219opti el aproape f\u0103r\u0103 glas. \u201eCam… Camelia?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ea a tres\u0103rit, ne\u0219tiind dac\u0103 s\u0103 confirme sau s\u0103 fug\u0103. Nu voia s\u0103-l r\u0103neasc\u0103 din nou, dar \u00een acela\u0219i timp, sim\u021bea c\u0103 destinul \u00eei adusese \u00eenapoi unul spre cel\u0103lalt dintr-un motiv. \u201eDa… sunt eu\u201d, spuse ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Ricardo \u00eenchise ochii \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i l\u0103s\u0103 capul pe sp\u0103tar. O lacrim\u0103 \u00eei alunec\u0103 pe obraz. Ani de durere, de izolare \u0219i de ne\u00eencredere se topeau \u00eencet sub prezen\u021ba ei. \u201eCredeam c\u0103 ai murit\u201d, rosti el, cu vocea g\u00e2tuit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eTo\u021bi m-au crezut moart\u0103\u201d, z\u00e2mbi amar Camelia. \u201eDup\u0103 accidentul acela… am plecat departe. Mama m-a dus la rude, iar via\u021ba m-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 m\u0103 descurc singur\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Se a\u0219ternu o t\u0103cere grea, \u00eentrerupt\u0103 doar de zgomotul slab al ceasului din birou. Aerul p\u0103rea \u00eenc\u0103rcat, iar Ricardo sim\u021bea c\u0103 respira pentru prima oar\u0103 altfel \u2014 nu cu team\u0103, ci cu o curiozitate amestecat\u0103 cu speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i… de ce te temi s\u0103 te ating\u0103 cineva?\u201d, \u00eentreb\u0103 Camelia, privindu-l cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be.<\/p>\n
El \u00ee\u0219i mu\u0219c\u0103 buzele. \u201eAm pierdut totul \u00eentr-un incendiu. So\u021bia, copilul, casa… Am \u00eencercat s\u0103-i salvez, dar c\u00e2nd cineva m-a scos din fl\u0103c\u0103ri, am sim\u021bit cum pielea mea arde. De atunci… atingerea oamenilor \u00eemi aminte\u0219te de acel foc.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui i-au str\u0103puns inima. Camelia a f\u0103cut un pas mai aproape, tremur\u00e2nd, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103. \u201eNu tot ce atinge doare, Ricardo. Uneori, atingerea vindec\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
El o privi, ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor, dar nu se mai retrase. \u00cen ochii ei nu era mil\u0103, ci o c\u0103ldur\u0103 sincer\u0103, o lumin\u0103 care p\u0103rea s\u0103-i aline sufletul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, Camelia a continuat s\u0103 lucreze la casa lui. Nu mai era doar femeia care f\u0103cea curat \u2014 era vocea care rupea t\u0103cerea, prezen\u021ba care aducea lini\u0219te. \u00cei preg\u0103tea ceaiul, \u00eei citea ziarul, \u00eel ajuta la exerci\u021biile de recuperare. \u0218i, \u00eencet, Ricardo a \u00eenceput s\u0103 nu se mai fereasc\u0103 de atingerea ei.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd soarele r\u0103s\u0103rea peste curte, el i-a spus: \u201e\u0218tii, cred c\u0103 ai fost trimis\u0103 aici ca s\u0103 m\u0103 salvezi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit. \u201ePoate doar ca s\u0103-\u021bi amintesc c\u0103 via\u021ba nu se termin\u0103 c\u00e2nd pierdem, ci c\u00e2nd \u00eencet\u0103m s\u0103 mai sim\u021bim.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ricardo a \u00eentins m\u00e2na tremur\u00e2nd\u0103. Ea a atins-o f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 zece ani, el nu a sim\u021bit fric\u0103. A sim\u021bit via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sufletul lor, ceva se vindeca. Nu era o poveste despre mil\u0103 sau destin, ci despre curajul de a privi durerea \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 \u0219i de a o transforma \u00een \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
\u0218i astfel, \u00een casa unde domnise ani \u00eentregi t\u0103cerea, se auzea din nou r\u00e2s. Un r\u00e2s simplu, omenesc, al unui b\u0103rbat care \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 din nou \u0219i al unei femei care nu \u00eencetase niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 cread\u0103 \u00een puterea binelui.<\/p>\n
Acolo, printre miros de cafea proasp\u0103t\u0103 \u0219i lumina cald\u0103 a dimine\u021bii, doi oameni \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103siser\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, pacea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
