\u00cen plic era o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie. Mirela \u00eemprumutase o sum\u0103 uria\u0219\u0103 de bani pe numele Irinei, f\u0103r\u0103 \u0219tirea ei. Datoria ajunsese la aproape 80.000 de lei, iar termenul de plat\u0103 expirase.<\/p>\n
Irina a \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure. \u201eMam\u0103… ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta?\u201d a \u00eentrebat, cu vocea stins\u0103. Mirela a \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103, dar ochii ei nu mai aveau str\u0103lucirea de mai devreme.<\/p>\n
\u201eDraga mea, a fost doar o mic\u0103 formalitate. Aveam nevoie de un credit rapid pentru o afacere \u0219i… tu erai cea mai apropiat\u0103 rud\u0103. E doar pe h\u00e2rtie.\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat de pe scaun \u0219i m-am apropiat de ea. \u201eCum ai putut s\u0103-i faci a\u0219a ceva copilului t\u0103u?\u201d, am spus cu voce tremurat\u0103, dar ferm\u0103. \u201eDup\u0103 tot ce ai l\u0103sat \u00een urm\u0103…\u201d<\/p>\n
Irina \u021binea plicul str\u00e2ns la piept, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103-l fac\u0103 s\u0103 dispar\u0103. Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi. \u201eDeci nu ai venit pentru mine… ai venit pentru bani.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mirela a clipit de c\u00e2teva ori, apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 adune lucrurile de pe mas\u0103. \u201eNici nu \u0219tii c\u00e2t am suferit f\u0103r\u0103 tine, Irina. Doar c\u0103 acum… am nevoie de ajutor. Dac\u0103 nu pl\u0103tim, \u00eemi iau casa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am v\u0103zut \u00een ochii Irinei cum toat\u0103 inocen\u021ba din ea se rupea buc\u0103\u021bi. Se uita la mama ei, femeia pe care o visase toat\u0103 copil\u0103ria, \u0219i nu mai recuno\u0219tea nimic.<\/p>\n
\u201eRochia asta… plicul… totul era doar o capcan\u0103,\u201d a spus, l\u0103s\u00e2nd h\u00e2rtia s\u0103-i cad\u0103 din m\u00e2ini. \u201eNu vreau nimic de la tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mirela a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, dar Irina s-a retras. \u201ePleac\u0103,\u201d i-a spus scurt. \u201eTe rog… pleac\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un amestec de durere \u0219i m\u00e2ndrie \u00een acela\u0219i timp. Durere pentru suferin\u021ba fetei mele, dar m\u00e2ndrie pentru curajul ei. Mirela a oftat \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 altceva, a plecat tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cas\u0103 s-a l\u0103sat t\u0103cerea. Am mers l\u00e2ng\u0103 Irina \u0219i am str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be. \u201e\u0218tiu c\u0103 doare, draga mea. Dar uneori e mai bine s\u0103 afli adev\u0103rul, oric\u00e2t de crud ar fi.\u201d<\/p>\n
A pl\u00e2ns pe um\u0103rul meu minute \u00een \u0219ir. C\u00e2nd s-a ridicat, s-a uitat \u00een oglind\u0103 \u0219i \u0219i-a \u0219ters lacrimile. \u201eO s\u0103 merg la bal cu rochia f\u0103cut\u0103 de tine, mam\u0103. E cea mai frumoas\u0103 din lume.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, am privit-o cum pleac\u0103, cu p\u0103rul prins elegant \u0219i z\u00e2mbetul timid, dar curajos. Nu avea rochia scump\u0103, nici bijuterii de firm\u0103, dar str\u0103lucea ca o regin\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors t\u00e2rziu, avea flori \u00een p\u0103r \u0219i ochii plini de lumin\u0103. \u201eA fost minunat,\u201d mi-a spus. \u201eTo\u021bi m-au admirat… \u0219i \u0219tii ceva? Niciodat\u0103 nu m-am sim\u021bit mai iubit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu are nevoie de bani, nici de rochii scumpe. Iar uneori, un suflet curat \u0219i o inim\u0103 puternic\u0103 valoreaz\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t orice avere.<\/p>\n
De atunci, Irina n-a mai pomenit niciodat\u0103 de Mirela. A mers la facultate, \u0219i-a g\u0103sit un loc de munc\u0103 \u0219i, \u00eentr-o zi, mi-a pus un plic \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru tine,\u201d a spus. \u00cen\u0103untru era o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie… achitat\u0103 integral.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm pl\u0103tit tot, mam\u0103,\u201d a z\u00e2mbit ea. \u201eCa s\u0103 fim libere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i am \u0219tiut atunci c\u0103 Mihai ar fi fost m\u00e2ndru de ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
