Hora\u021biu a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, dar picioarele \u00eei tremurau de parc\u0103 nu mai erau ale lui. Ani la r\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i imaginase momentul \u00een care o va reg\u0103si. Dar nici \u00een cele mai \u00eentunecate vise nu \u0219i-ar fi \u00eenchipuit-o astfel: slab\u0103, istovit\u0103, locuind \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 s\u0103r\u0103c\u0103cioas\u0103, cu o feti\u021b\u0103 care sem\u0103na leit cu ea.<\/p>\n
Alina a \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar i s-a rupt glasul. S-a sprijinit de perete, tr\u0103g\u00e2nd aer cu greu.
Sofi s-a apropiat de ea, lu\u00e2ndu-i m\u00e2na \u00een palma mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mami, el a fost dr\u0103gu\u021b cu mine\u2026<\/p>\n
Vorbele feti\u021bei au c\u0103zut ca un cu\u021bit \u00een pieptul lui Hora\u021biu.<\/p>\n
Alina \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns buzele, a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se adune \u0219i apoi a rostit, aproape \u0219optit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-ar fi trebuit s\u0103 ne g\u0103se\u0219ti\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum po\u021bi s\u0103 spui asta? a izbucnit el, sim\u021bind cum \u00eei tremur\u0103 vocea. Au trecut \u0219ase ani, Alina! \u0218ase! Am c\u0103utat peste tot. Te-am crezut moart\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eenchis ochii, ca \u0219i cum cuvintele lui ar fi fost prea grele de dus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu aveam de ales, Hora\u021biu\u2026 Nu atunci.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aveai. \u0218i mai ai \u0219i acum. \u00cemi spui tot.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 de c\u00e2nd intrase, Sofi i-a privit pe am\u00e2ndoi, ne\u00een\u021beleg\u00e2nd ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103. Feti\u021ba a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, iar Hora\u021biu i-a z\u00e2mbit, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 o lini\u0219teasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a aplecat c\u0103tre Alina:<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u2026 e fata mea?<\/p>\n
Un fior a trecut prin umerii ei, ca un tremur greu de ascuns. A \u00eentors privirea spre copil\u0103, apoi \u00eenapoi la el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da\u2026 e a ta.<\/p>\n
Hora\u021biu \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, ca s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i \u00een\u0103bu\u0219e un hohot de pl\u00e2ns. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul se cl\u0103tina sub el. \u0218ase ani \u00een care nu \u0219tia c\u0103 are o fiic\u0103. \u0218ase ani pierdu\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai plecat? De ce nu mi-ai spus nimic?<\/p>\n
Alina a c\u0103zut pe marginea patului, epuizat\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi purtat \u00een spate toate durerile lumii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 m-am \u00eemboln\u0103vit\u2026 \u0219i doctorii \u00eemi d\u0103deau \u0219anse mici. Nu voiam s\u0103 te leg de mine. Nu voiam s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti cu teama c\u0103 m\u0103 pierzi. \u0218i c\u00e2nd am aflat c\u0103 sunt \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103\u2026 m-am panicat. Am crezut c\u0103 e mai bine s\u0103 dispar, s\u0103 nu v\u0103 trag dup\u0103 mine\u2026<\/p>\n
Hora\u021biu a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.
Tot ceea ce \u00eel m\u00e2ncase pe interior ani \u00eentregi \u2014 furie, triste\u021be, vinov\u0103\u021bie \u2014 se topea \u00een fa\u021ba adev\u0103rului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum? a murmur\u00e2t el. Ce ai acum?<\/p>\n
Alina a ridicat din umeri, ca \u0219i cum n-ar mai fi avut puterea s\u0103 ascund\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Boala a revenit. Nu mai pot munci. Abia mai st\u0103m \u00een camera asta. Sofi vinde prin pia\u021b\u0103 ca s\u0103 avem ce m\u00e2nca\u2026<\/p>\n
Privirea lui Hora\u021biu s-a \u00eentunecat cu un amestec de durere \u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Gata. Ajunge. Nu mai tr\u0103i\u021bi a\u0219a nicio zi. Veni\u021bi cu mine. Am\u00e2ndou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alina a vrut s\u0103 protesteze, dar el i-a prins u\u0219or m\u00e2na, aceea\u0219i m\u00e2n\u0103 cu pata ro\u0219ie care \u00eel urm\u0103rea ca un blestem \u0219i ca un miracol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Alina\u2026 n-am \u0219tiut c\u0103 pot pl\u00e2nge de fericire \u0219i de durere \u00een acela\u0219i timp. Nu v\u0103 mai las singure. Orice-ar fi, trecem \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sofi i-a privit cu ochii mari, lumina soarelui juc\u00e2ndu-se pe pata ro\u0219ie de pe m\u00e2na ei. Apoi a z\u00e2mbit timid \u0219i l-a prins pe Hora\u021biu de deget, ca \u0219i cum ar fi \u0219tiut c\u0103 via\u021ba lor tocmai se schimba.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 ani, \u00een sufletul lui Hora\u021biu nu mai era gol. Era plin.
Plin de tot ce c\u0103utase o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie unde s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Familia lui.<\/p>\n
Iar restul\u2026 urma s\u0103 \u00eel construiasc\u0103 pas cu pas, cu r\u0103bdare, cu iubire \u0219i cu o putere pe care nu credea c\u0103 o mai are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
