\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, \u00eentre cei doi nu s-a schimbat nimic spectaculos, dar fiecare gest mic s-a transformat \u00eentr-o punte nev\u0103zut\u0103. Elena \u00eencepu s\u0103-i duc\u0103 Ilinc\u0103i c\u00e2te o floare galben\u0103 din gr\u0103dina ei, iar Mihai \u00eei mai repara ba poarta, ba un robinet, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 accepte nici m\u0103car o cl\u0103tit\u0103 drept plat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, Elena a observat c\u0103 Mihai se \u00eentoarce cl\u0103tin\u00e2ndu-se dup\u0103 o zi lung\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu ar\u0103ta\u021bi bine. A\u021bi m\u00e2ncat ast\u0103zi?
Mihai a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Am avut mult de lucru\u2026 \u0219i banii pe care \u00eei aveam s-au dus pe medicamente pentru Ilinca. A r\u0103cit pu\u021bin, dar \u00ee\u0219i revine.<\/p>\n
Elena a \u00eenm\u0103rmurit.
Ea de\u021binea zeci de apartamente puse \u00een chirie, mai multe magazine \u0219i c\u00e2teva cl\u0103diri de birouri. La banc\u0103 avea sume pe care nici nu le mai calcula, doar managerul financiar le gestiona. Dar omul din fa\u021ba ei \u00eei ar\u0103ta un adev\u0103r crud: puteai cump\u0103ra o cas\u0103 \u00een fiecare lun\u0103, dar nu puteai cump\u0103ra pe cineva care s\u0103 te iubeasc\u0103 necondi\u021bionat.<\/p>\n
Seara, Elena a b\u0103tut la u\u0219a lui \u0219i i-a \u00eentins o saco\u0219\u0103 cu m\u00e2ncare.
Mihai a refuzat ferm.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu sunt milog. Pot munci pentru tot ce am!<\/p>\n
Elena l-a privit \u00een ochi, de data aceasta f\u0103r\u0103 z\u00e2mbet.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nimeni nu v-a zis c\u0103 sunte\u021bi milog. Dar c\u00e2teodat\u0103, cei mai puternici sunt cei care accept\u0103 ajutorul, nu cei care-l resping.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Mihai a g\u0103sit l\u00e2ng\u0103 gard o saco\u0219\u0103 mic\u0103, cu o singur\u0103 p\u00e2ine, un borcan de miere \u0219i un bilet:
\u201ePentru Ilinca. Mierea e pentru imunitate.\u201d
Numele nu era trecut, dar el \u0219tia.<\/p>\n
Timpul a trecut, iar apropierea lor s-a conturat firesc. \u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, Ilinca s-a \u00eentors vesel\u0103 din curte cu o cununi\u021b\u0103 din flori galbene.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Tati, doamna Elena zice c\u0103 florile galbene sunt pentru oameni care nu renun\u021b\u0103 niciodat\u0103!<\/p>\n
Mihai a privit-o lung \u0219i a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 vecina lui nu era doar o femeie bogat\u0103, ci una care sim\u021bea altfel lumea dec\u00e2t al\u021bii.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Elena l-a invitat s\u0103 vad\u0103 un teren mare, la marginea ora\u0219ului.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Vreau s\u0103 construiesc ceva aici, dar nu o cl\u0103dire de birouri. M-am g\u00e2ndit la un loc pentru copii f\u0103r\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bi. Tu ce crezi?<\/p>\n
Mihai a r\u0103mas mut. Niciun om bogat pe care \u00eel cunoscuse vreodat\u0103 nu vorbise despre ceva care s\u0103 nu aduc\u0103 profit.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Cred\u2026 cred c\u0103 dac\u0103 face\u021bi asta, ve\u021bi construi ceva ce nu se stric\u0103 niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit, iar ochii i s-au umplut de ap\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Am bani c\u00e2t s\u0103 repar toate gardurile din ora\u0219, Mihai. Dar niciodat\u0103 n-am avut curaj s\u0103 repar oamenii. Tu mi-ai ar\u0103tat c\u0103 merit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prim\u0103var\u0103, la inaugurarea centrului, Ilinca \u021binea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 un buchet imens de flori galbene, iar Mihai \u0219i Elena st\u0103teau unul l\u00e2ng\u0103 altul. Ora\u0219ul murmura, oamenii \u00eei priveau curio\u0219i: un simplu mecanic \u0219i o femeie multimilionar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar ei doi \u0219tiau adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Undeva, \u00eentre o sc\u00e2ndur\u0103 rupt\u0103, un cui ruginit \u0219i un pahar cu ap\u0103 rece trece de gard, se n\u0103scuse ceva ce nu se cump\u0103r\u0103, nu se vinde \u0219i nu se negociaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Se c\u00e2\u0219tig\u0103.<\/p>\n
