Gheorghe a r\u0103mas \u00eempietrit. Cuvintele mamei lui au c\u0103zut peste el ca un tr\u0103snet. Nu se a\u0219teptase niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 aud\u0103 a\u0219a ceva, mai ales acum, \u00een ultimele ei clipe. O str\u00e2ngea de m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-i transmit\u0103 pu\u021bin\u0103 c\u0103ldur\u0103, pu\u021bin\u0103 alinare, dar \u00een suflet sim\u021bea doar o ap\u0103sare care \u00eel sf\u0103r\u00e2ma.<\/p>\n
Femeia l-a privit bl\u00e2nd, cu ochii umezi, \u00eens\u0103 \u00een privirea ei nu era mustrare, ci doar o oboseal\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103 \u0219i o resemnare pe care o ducea de ani buni. Gheorghe \u0219i-a lipit fruntea de m\u00e2na ei sub\u021bire, sim\u021bind fiecare os, fiecare rid, fiecare urm\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mam\u0103\u2026 de ce nu mi-ai spus?
Femeia a z\u00e2mbit slab.
\u2013 Tu ai avut treburile tale, dragul meu\u2026 n-am vrut s\u0103 te \u00eencarc.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe sim\u021bea cum pieptul i se str\u00e2nge, de parc\u0103 cineva \u00eel lega cu sfori invizibile. \u00cen minte i se derulau anii \u00een care \u00ee\u0219i spusese c\u0103 nu are timp, c\u0103 o vizit\u0103 o dat\u0103 la dou\u0103 luni e suficient\u0103, c\u0103 mama e bine acolo. C\u0103 cei de la c\u0103min \u201ese ocup\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dar nu se ocupaser\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i nici el.<\/p>\n
Femeia a tres\u0103rit u\u0219or. Respira\u021bia \u00eei devenise greoaie. A mai \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, iar Gheorghe i s-a apropiat de buze, s\u0103 nu scape niciun cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2013 S\u0103 nu la\u0219i pe nimeni\u2026 singur, cum am fost eu\u2026 Ai grij\u0103 de oameni, nu de lucruri\u2026<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a stins.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe a r\u0103mas acolo, nemi\u0219cat, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd asistenta i-a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r. Pe drum spre cas\u0103, totul \u00eei p\u0103rea \u00een cea\u021b\u0103. Oamenii treceau pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, ma\u0219inile claxonau, via\u021ba mergea \u00eenainte\u2026 doar a lui p\u0103rea c\u0103 s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare, c\u00e2nd preotul a rostit ultimele cuvinte, Gheorghe a sim\u021bit cum genunchii \u00eei cedeaz\u0103. A c\u0103zut \u00een fa\u021ba sicriului, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i pese cine se uit\u0103. Auzea doar vorbele mamei, repet\u00e2ndu-se ca un ecou dureros.<\/p>\n
\u201eUneori m-am culcat fl\u0103m\u00e2nd\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, n-a putut s\u0103 doarm\u0103. S-a \u00eentors la c\u0103min, a vorbit cu asistentele, cu administra\u021bia, cu femeile care \u00eengrijeau camerele. To\u021bi \u00eel priveau cu ochii \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt. Unii \u00ee\u0219i cereau scuze, al\u021bii spuneau c\u0103 \u201eerau multe de f\u0103cut\u201d. O scuz\u0103 general\u0103 pentru o suferin\u021b\u0103 pe care mama lui o tr\u0103ise \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a intrat \u00een camera ei, frigul i-a p\u0103truns p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een oase. Ventilatorul, un aparat vechi, abia se mai \u00eenv\u00e2rtea. Frigiderul scotea un b\u00e2z\u00e2it slab. A deschis u\u0219a cu team\u0103, sim\u021bind cum \u00eel \u00een\u021beap\u0103 con\u0219tiin\u021ba la fiecare mi\u0219care.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru erau doar dou\u0103 iaurturi aproape expirate \u0219i o ap\u0103 plat\u0103.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaunul de lemn din col\u021b \u0219i a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Nu mai pl\u00e2nsese a\u0219a de la zece ani, c\u00e2nd \u00eei murise bunicul. Dar acum era altceva. Era un amestec de vin\u0103, ru\u0219ine, durere \u0219i neputin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
A stat acolo minute \u00een \u0219ir, uit\u00e2ndu-se la lucrurile mamei: un \u0219al roz, o bro\u0219\u0103 veche \u00een form\u0103 de floare, o poz\u0103 cu el \u0219i cu sora lui c\u00e2nd erau mici. Toate p\u0103strau un soi de c\u0103ldur\u0103, de parc\u0103 mama \u00eenc\u0103 era acolo.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea zi, Gheorghe a luat o hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
A v\u00e2ndut ma\u0219ina lui scump\u0103. A scos c\u00e2teva mii de lei \u0219i a cump\u0103rat ventilatoare noi, frigidere noi, saltele mai bune, lenjerii pufoase \u0219i alimente. A venit la c\u0103min cu un camion plin, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-i pe to\u021bi f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Nu venise s\u0103 se r\u0103zbune.<\/p>\n
Venise s\u0103 repare.<\/p>\n
Timp de luni \u00eentregi, a venit aproape zilnic la b\u0103tr\u00e2ni. A stat cu ei la pove\u0219ti, a reparat ce era stricat, a schimbat becuri, a adus fructe, c\u0103r\u021bi, ceaiuri \u0219i p\u0103turi moi. Mul\u021bi \u00eel a\u0219teptau \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103, ca pe un fiu \u00eentors acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, o b\u0103tr\u00e2nic\u0103 i-a luat m\u00e2na \u0219i i-a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mama dumitale ar fi m\u00e2ndr\u0103 de tine.<\/p>\n
Atunci, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, Gheorghe a sim\u021bit c\u0103 poate respira din nou.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a dat seama c\u0103, de\u0219i nu poate \u00eentoarce timpul, poate transforma gre\u0219eala lui \u00eentr-o binecuv\u00e2ntare pentru al\u021bii. Poate schimba singur\u0103tatea \u00een grij\u0103, \u0219i frigul \u00een c\u0103ldur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Poate face bine.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103, uneori, cel mai mare regret poate deveni \u00eenceputul unei vie\u021bi noi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
