Nu apucasem s\u0103 zic nimic, pentru c\u0103 b\u0103ie\u021bii r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 \u00een spatele meu, uimi\u021bi, ne\u0219tiind dac\u0103 s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 sau s\u0103 fug\u0103 \u00eenapoi \u00een camer\u0103. Violeta \u00eei m\u0103sura din cap p\u00e2n\u0103-n picioare, ca \u0219i cum analiza dou\u0103 trofee pe care venise s\u0103 le revendice dup\u0103 ce le uitase o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t, dar m-am \u021binut tare.
\u2014 Ce cau\u021bi aici? am \u00eentrebat, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridic tonul.<\/p>\n
A dat din umeri, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd o grimas\u0103 de inocen\u021b\u0103.
\u2014 Am aflat c\u0103 sunt\u2026 mari. Absolvirea\u2026 e un moment important, nu? M-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 ar fi cazul s\u0103 fiu \u0219i eu aici.<\/p>\n
Vorbea ca \u0219i cum lipsise o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, nu \u0219aptesprezece ani.<\/p>\n
B\u0103ie\u021bii s-au privit \u00eentre ei. Luca era mai bl\u00e2nd din fire, dar Lauren\u021biu, mai hot\u0103r\u00e2t, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.
\u2014 \u0218i acum \u00ee\u021bi aminte\u0219ti de noi?<\/p>\n
Ea a dat ochii peste cap, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se r\u0103nit\u0103.
\u2014 V\u0103 rog\u2026 nu vreau certuri. Am trecut prin multe. Am gre\u0219it, \u0219tiu. Dar am revenit.<\/p>\n
Cuv\u00e2ntul \u201erevenit\u201d mi-a \u00eenfipt un cui \u00een inim\u0103.
Nu se \u00eentorsese pentru ei. O \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Treci \u00een\u0103untru, i-am spus scurt. Dar doar ca s\u0103 vorbim dou\u0103 minute.<\/p>\n
A intrat \u0219i a privit casa ca \u0219i cum era a ei. A atins masa, a analizat fotografiile de pe perete, inclusiv cele cu b\u0103ie\u021bii la serb\u0103ri, la competi\u021bii, \u00een excursii. Fotografiile pe care eu le f\u0103cusem singur, la care ea nu fusese niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103d c\u0103 ai dus-o bine, mi-a zis cu un z\u00e2mbet ciudat. Casa asta arat\u0103\u2026 confortabil.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am v\u0103zut ce ascundea. Nu venise pentru iubire, nici pentru regrete. Venise pentru interes. Pentru bani. Pentru c\u0103 avea nevoie de ceva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Spune direct, am zis. Ce vrei de fapt?<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a l\u0103sat masca jos.
\u2014 Mi-e greu\u2026 financiar. M-am \u00eentors pentru familie. B\u0103ie\u021bii sunt mari\u2026 \u0219i tu ai un venit bun. M\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam c\u0103 pot s\u0103 locuiesc o vreme aici, p\u00e2n\u0103 m\u0103 pun pe picioare.<\/p>\n
B\u0103ie\u021bii au \u00eencremenit. Eu am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi urc\u0103 s\u00e2ngele \u00een obraji.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai plecat f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. Ne-ai l\u0103sat balt\u0103. \u0218i acum vii s\u0103-\u021bi dea copiii t\u0103i\u2026 chirie? am spus, \u00eencet, dar ap\u0103sat.<\/p>\n
Ea s-a aprins imediat.
\u2014 E\u0219ti dator s\u0103 m\u0103 aju\u021bi! Sunt mama lor! Am drepturi!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Drepturi? a izbucnit Lauren\u021biu. Tu n-ai fost aici nici c\u00e2nd m-am \u00eemboln\u0103vit, nici c\u00e2nd Luca a f\u0103cut febr\u0103 mare, nici c\u00e2nd tata muncea dou\u0103 schimburi ca s\u0103 ne cumpere manuale! Ai drepturi doar \u00een pove\u0219tile tale!<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, Violeta p\u0103rea descump\u0103nit\u0103.
\u0218i atunci am luat o decizie pe care o sim\u021beam \u00een oase.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi dau trei minute s\u0103 ie\u0219i pe u\u0219\u0103. Nu pentru mine. Pentru ei. Nu meritau teatrul \u0103sta \u00een ziua lor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu plec nic\u0103ieri! a \u021bipat. Am nevoie de ajutor, nu m\u0103 pute\u021bi da afar\u0103!<\/p>\n
Am ridicat m\u00e2na, lini\u0219tit.
\u2014 Nu te d\u0103m afar\u0103. Te invit\u0103m s\u0103 pleci. Diferen\u021ba e mare.<\/p>\n
B\u0103ie\u021bii au venit l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, um\u0103r l\u00e2ng\u0103 um\u0103r. Erau \u00eenal\u021bi, puternici, nu mai erau bebelu\u0219ii care pl\u00e2ngeau dup\u0103 lapte cald. Erau b\u0103rba\u021bi. \u0218i erau ai mei.<\/p>\n
Violeta i-a privit. S-a prins c\u0103 nu mai are nicio putere aici. A bomb\u0103nit ceva, apoi a ie\u0219it tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te, b\u0103ie\u021bii au r\u0103mas privind locul unde fusese ea cu c\u00e2teva secunde \u00eenainte.
Luca a oftat:
\u2014 Tat\u0103\u2026 crezi c\u0103\u2026 o s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 iar?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poate, i-am r\u0103spuns. Dar voi trebuie s\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi ceva. Nu s\u00e2ngele face familia. Alegerile o fac.<\/p>\n
S-au uitat la mine cu ochii umezi.
Apoi m-au luat \u00een bra\u021be am\u00e2ndoi, str\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 ca atunci c\u00e2nd erau mici, de parc\u0103 nu mai contam eu c\u00e2t eram de obosit sau de speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu e\u0219ti familia noastr\u0103, a zis Lauren\u021biu.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se rupe un nod \u00een piept.
\u0218i atunci am \u0219tiut c\u0103, indiferent de c\u00e2te furtuni vin, noi trei suntem mai puternici dec\u00e2t orice trecut.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, la festivitatea de absolvire, \u00eei priveam cum primesc diplomele cu z\u00e2mbete largi, siguri pe ei, hot\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi. Oamenii din jur aplaudau, dar pentru mine era mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t. Era dovada c\u0103 nu am luptat degeaba.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba \u00ee\u021bi poate lua multe.
Dar nu \u00ee\u021bi poate lua ceea ce construie\u0219ti cu inim\u0103, r\u0103bdare \u0219i dragoste adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar eu, un simplu tat\u0103 care a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103lzeasc\u0103 biberoane cu o m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 munceasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 doarm\u0103, \u00eemi vedeam acum fiii ridic\u00e2ndu-se spre viitorul lor.
Cu fruntea sus.
