Cuvintele ei l-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 larg, un z\u00e2mbet sincer, cum nu mai avusese de mult. Florina nici nu b\u0103nuia c\u00e2t adev\u0103r spusese f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vrea. Dar el nu avea de g\u00e2nd s\u0103-i strice imaginea aceea frumoas\u0103, aceea de om simplu, muncitor, care se lupt\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i duc\u0103 zilele.<\/p>\n
A plecat spre poart\u0103 cu sufletul u\u0219or, iar ea a r\u0103mas \u00een fa\u021ba localului, privindu-l cum se \u00eendep\u0103rteaz\u0103, \u00eentreb\u00e2ndu-se de ce \u00eei pas\u0103 at\u00e2t. N-ar fi trebuit \u2014 via\u021ba o \u00eenv\u0103\u021base s\u0103 fie precaut\u0103, s\u0103 nu se lege, s\u0103 nu-\u0219i fac\u0103 speran\u021be. Dar ceva la el \u00eei d\u0103dea lini\u0219te, un fel de c\u0103ldur\u0103 pe care nu o mai sim\u021bise demult.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Marius a ajuns mai devreme la serviciu. Se trezise cu g\u00e2ndul la ea. Toat\u0103 diminea\u021ba, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd trecea cineva pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 poart\u0103, sim\u021bea un fior, ca \u0219i cum a\u0219tepta\u2026 dar nu \u0219tia ce.<\/p>\n
Pe la pr\u00e2nz, Florina a ap\u0103rut, \u021bin\u00e2nd o caserol\u0103 \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u201e\u021ai-am adus m\u00e2ncarea. Azi n-ai cum s\u0103 vii, c\u0103 a zis Doamna Zada s\u0103 nu pleci de la poart\u0103. Se uit\u0103 lumea str\u00e2mb.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Marius a r\u0103mas blocat. Nimeni nu-i mai adusese m\u00e2ncare, niciodat\u0103. A luat caserola cu grij\u0103, de parc\u0103 era ceva pre\u021bios.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eMul\u021bumesc\u2026 nu trebuia.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 \u201e\u0218tiu c\u0103 nu trebuia. Am vrut.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n R\u0103spunsul ei l-a lovit direct \u00een inim\u0103. Vorbele simple, spuse f\u0103r\u0103 jocuri, f\u0103r\u0103 interese, f\u0103r\u0103 calcule. Cumva, asta \u00eel emo\u021biona mai mult dec\u00e2t orice gest mare.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 ce ea a plecat, a deschis caserola. Carne. Dou\u0103 buc\u0103\u021bi. Z\u00e2mbi. Era modul ei de a-l sprijini, iar pentru el\u2026 \u00eensemna totul.<\/p>\n Seara, c\u00e2nd schimbul lui s-a terminat, a trecut pe la local s\u0103 lase caserola. Florina era singur\u0103, sp\u0103la vasele.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eNu trebuia s\u0103 vii special pentru asta\u201d,<\/strong> i-a zis ea. Ea a \u00eencremenit pentru o clip\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie ce urmeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eVreau s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103\u2026 bun\u0103tatea ta nu o voi uita niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Florina \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea. Nu era obi\u0219nuit\u0103 s\u0103 fie apreciat\u0103. \u00cen casa unchiului ei, mereu era \u00eenvinov\u0103\u021bit\u0103 pentru orice, mereu tratat\u0103 ca un musafir nedorit. Cuvintele lui i-au intrat direct \u00een suflet.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eNu sunt obi\u0219nuit\u0103 s\u0103-mi mul\u021bumeasc\u0103 cineva\u2026\u201d<\/strong>, a murmurat ea.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eAtunci o s\u0103 \u00eencep eu.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n A doua zi, Marius a venit cu o p\u00e2ine cald\u0103, cump\u0103rat\u0103 cu ultimii lui lei. Era pu\u021bin, dar era gestul lui sincer. Florina a r\u00e2s c\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eAi dat bani pe asta?\u201d<\/strong> Din ziua aceea au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 mai mult. Pu\u021bin c\u00e2te pu\u021bin, zi dup\u0103 zi, se deschideau unul \u00een fa\u021ba celuilalt. Ea \u00eei spunea despre copil\u0103ria grea, despre dorin\u021ba ei de a avea \u00eentr-o zi o buc\u0103t\u0103rie a ei. El, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 dea detalii, \u00eei povestea despre o lume pe care o l\u0103sase \u00een urm\u0103, despre oameni fal\u0219i \u0219i promisiuni goale.<\/p>\n Florina \u00eel asculta cu aten\u021bie. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 poart\u0103 o greutate mare, de\u0219i nu-i \u00een\u021belegea pe deplin povestea. Nu avea cum s\u0103 \u0219tie ce ascundea.<\/p>\n \u00centr-o sear\u0103, pe c\u00e2nd se \u00eentorcea spre cas\u0103, a fost oprit\u0103 de trei b\u0103rba\u021bi be\u021bi care ie\u0219eau dintr-un bar. Au \u00eenceput s-o nec\u0103jeasc\u0103, s\u0103 o trag\u0103 de m\u00e2n\u0103, s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103. Florina a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se elibereze, dar ei deveneau din ce \u00een ce mai insisten\u021bi.<\/p>\n Din \u00eentuneric, o voce puternic\u0103 a izbucnit:<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eL\u0103sa\u021bi-o!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Marius ap\u0103rea din spate, venind \u00een fug\u0103. Cei trei s-au \u00eentors. Unul a r\u00e2s dispre\u021buitor.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eCine e\u0219ti tu? Portarul?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Dar Marius nu s-a oprit. A smuls-o pe Florina din mijlocul lor \u0219i a tras-o \u00een spatele lui. Privirea lui era de o duritate pe care ea nu o mai v\u0103zuse.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eDac\u0103 mai pune\u021bi m\u00e2na pe ea, nu o s\u0103 v\u0103 plac\u0103 ce urmeaz\u0103.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00cen vocea lui era ceva\u2026 o autoritate, o siguran\u021b\u0103, ceva ce nu se potrivea deloc cu hainele uzate ale unui portar. B\u0103rba\u021bii au dat \u00eenapoi, surprin\u0219i, apoi au plecat bomb\u0103nind.<\/p>\n Florina, tremur\u00e2nd, s-a ag\u0103\u021bat de bra\u021bul lui.<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201eM-ai speriat\u2026\u201d<\/strong> Pentru prima dat\u0103, ea l-a privit altfel. Ca pe un b\u0103rbat \u00een care po\u021bi avea \u00eencredere. Ca pe cineva care nu doar prime\u0219te bun\u0103tate, ci o \u0219i ofer\u0103.<\/p>\n \u00cen seara aceea, pe drumul spre cas\u0103, Florina i-a spus \u00eencet:<\/p>\n \u2013 \u201e\u0218tii\u2026 nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103 c\u00e2\u021bi bani ai. Sau n-ai. Conteaz\u0103 doar cum e\u0219ti tu.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Marius a \u00eenghe\u021bat. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie, ea \u00eei spusese exact ce c\u0103uta de ani de zile.<\/p>\n Pentru prima dat\u0103, s-a sim\u021bit v\u0103zut. Cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n Iar \u00een sufletul lui, ceva s-a a\u0219ezat la locul potrivit. Ca \u0219i cum, dup\u0103 at\u00e2ta c\u0103utare, g\u0103sise \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it ceea ce banii nu \u00eei putuser\u0103 cump\u0103ra niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n Dragoste adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cuvintele ei l-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 larg, un z\u00e2mbet sincer, cum nu mai avusese de mult.
