Aerul din \u00eenc\u0103pere era rece, aproape steril, dar \u00een piept sim\u021bea cum \u00eel arde o presim\u021bire pe care nu \u0219tia s\u0103 o numeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doctori\u021ba \u00eei f\u0103cu semn s\u0103 o urmeze \u00eentr-un birou mic, cu miros de h\u00e2rtie veche \u0219i cafea re\u00eenc\u0103lzit\u0103.
\u2014 Domnule Oprea, \u00eenainte s\u0103 v\u0103 duc la copil, trebuie s\u0103 \u00een\u021belege\u021bi ceva.<\/p>\n
El d\u0103du doar din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Femeia aceasta\u2026 Clara\u2026 a venit direct dintr-un sat din Bistri\u021ba. Era speriat\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 acte la ea, f\u0103r\u0103 bagaje. Singura informa\u021bie clar\u0103 pe care a dat-o a fost numele dumneavoastr\u0103. A spus c\u0103 sunte\u021bi singura persoan\u0103 care o poate ajuta.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele \u00eei c\u0103zur\u0103 greu, ca ni\u0219te pietre ude.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar eu nu o cunosc\u2026 \u2014 \u0219opti el. \u2014 Nu am v\u0103zut-o niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doctori\u021ba ridic\u0103 u\u0219or din umeri.
\u2014 Atunci, fie s-a \u00eencurcat \u00een nume, fie\u2026 a avut un motiv serios s\u0103 v\u0103 aleag\u0103.<\/p>\n
Daniel se trezi \u00eentreb\u00e2nd, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103:
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 v\u0103d copilul?<\/p>\n
Medicul \u00eel conduse spre sec\u021bia de neonatologie. Acolo, \u00eentr-o incubatoare mic\u0103, legat la fire sub\u021biri \u0219i \u00eenconjurat de lumini\u021be discrete, st\u0103tea un copila\u0219 c\u00e2t o vrabie. Avea pielea fin\u0103 \u0219i obrajii u\u0219or ro\u0219ii, ca \u0219i cum lumea \u00eel atinsese prea repede.<\/p>\n
Daniel sim\u021bi cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.
Nu era al lui.
\u0218i totu\u0219i\u2026 sim\u021bea un nod \u00een g\u00e2t, un amestec ciudat de vin\u0103, team\u0103 \u0219i protec\u021bie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E b\u0103iat \u2014 spuse doctori\u021ba. \u2014 \u00cenc\u0103 nu are nume oficial.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, ceva \u00een el se cl\u0103tin\u0103.
\u2014 Dac\u0103 tot sunt trecut ca tat\u0103\u2026 nu trebuie s\u0103-l las f\u0103r\u0103 nume.<\/p>\n
Doctori\u021ba \u00eel privi lung, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l judece.
\u2014 Alege\u021bi unul temporar. Se poate schimba dup\u0103 ce clarific\u0103m situa\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Daniel oft\u0103 ad\u00e2nc. \u00cen timp ce ie\u0219ea pe hol, inima \u00eei b\u0103tea \u00een ritmul neonului de pe perete. \u00cen minte \u00eei revenea un detaliu: mesajul pe care \u00eel ignorase. Un mesaj scurt, care suna ciudat la vremea aceea: \u201eV\u0103 rog, e urgent. Am nevoie de ajutor. O s\u0103 v\u0103 explic tot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n El \u00eel \u0219tersese f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 stea pe g\u00e2nduri.<\/p>\n Acum p\u0103rea cel mai mare gre\u0219eal\u0103 din via\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva ore, Clara se trezi. Daniel nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103 intre sau s\u0103 plece, dar doctori\u021ba \u00eel \u00eempinse u\u0219or \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n Femeia \u00ee\u0219i ridic\u0103 privirea spre el. Ochii ei erau obosi\u021bi, umfla\u021bi, dar \u00een ad\u00e2ncimea lor ardea ceva \u2014 o combina\u021bie de ru\u0219ine, durere \u0219i o speran\u021b\u0103 firav\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dumneavoastr\u0103\u2026 chiar a\u021bi venit \u2014 \u0219opti ea, ca \u0219i cum nu-i venea s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n Daniel se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe scaunul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat.

Clara \u00eenchise ochii c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi rosti \u00eencet: Daniel sim\u021bi cum pieptul i se umple de un amestec amar de revolt\u0103 \u0219i mil\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u0218i acum? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 el. \u2014 Omul \u0103sta \u0219tie unde e\u0219ti?<\/p>\n \u2014 Dac\u0103 afl\u0103\u2026 \u2014 vocea ei se fr\u00e2nse.<\/p>\n Daniel se ridic\u0103, sim\u021bind pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u0103 situa\u021bia are un sens clar.

\u2014 Andrei<\/strong>. S\u0103-i spune\u021bi Andrei p\u00e2n\u0103 una-alta.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Am venit pentru c\u0103 m-ai trecut ca persoan\u0103 de urgen\u021b\u0103. Dar vreau s\u0103 \u0219tiu de ce. Eu nu te cunosc, Clara.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu m\u0103 cunoa\u0219te\u021bi. Dar eu\u2026 eu v-am c\u0103utat pentru c\u0103 sunte\u021bi singurul care putea s\u0103-mi salveze b\u0103iatul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Spune-mi tot.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l copilului\u2026 nu e un om bun. A spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 nu scap, o s\u0103 vin\u0103 dup\u0103 noi. Eu am lucrat la firma dumneavoastr\u0103 acum un an, ca \u0219i contabil\u0103 extern\u0103. V-am v\u0103zut atunci cum a\u021bi ajutat o coleg\u0103 \u00een necaz \u0219i\u2026 am \u021binut minte numele. C\u00e2nd am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 sc\u0103pare, am dat numele dumneavoastr\u0103. Am zis c\u0103 un om ca dumneavoastr\u0103 n-o s\u0103 lase o femeie \u0219i un copil singuri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci nu va afla. Nu c\u00e2t timp sunt eu aici. Eu am spus c\u0103 sunt so\u021bul t\u0103u \u0219i o s\u0103-mi duc vorba p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t. O s\u0103 ave\u021bi unde sta, o s\u0103 ave\u021bi lini\u0219te. Am s\u0103 m\u0103 ocup de absolut tot.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e\u0219ti singur\u0103. \u0218i Andrei nu e singur. De azi\u2026 suntem o echip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule Oprea\u2026 copilul vrea \u00een bra\u021be. Se agit\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu simte pe cineva aproape.<\/p>\n
