\u0218i totu\u0219i, \u00een acel moment, nu am b\u0103nuit nimic.
Pentru mine, erau doar copiii no\u0219tri grijulii, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 ne protejeze de b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021be \u0219i birocra\u021bie.
Abia mai t\u00e2rziu am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103, de fapt, ne preg\u0103teau sf\u00e2r\u0219itul, ca pe o formalitate.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 vizita la avocat, lucrurile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se schimbe subtil.
Alexandra venea mai des \u00een vizit\u0103, dar nu pentru pove\u0219ti sau cafea.
Intra \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, verifica sertarele, r\u0103sfoia h\u00e2rtii, \u00eentreba de acte.
Eu credeam c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 ne ajute.
Cum s\u0103-\u021bi \u00eenchipui c\u0103 propriul copil te v\u00e2neaz\u0103?<\/p>\n
Gheorghe sim\u021bea ceva.
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, \u00een timp ce st\u0103team pe balcon \u0219i ascultam valurile, mi-a spus \u00eencet:
\u201eAna, fata asta nu e bine. Are ceva pe suflet.\u201d
L-am certat. I-am zis c\u0103 vede doar umbre, c\u0103 Alexandra e doar stresat\u0103 cu afacerea \u0219i copiii.
Dar \u00een ochii lui era o nelini\u0219te pe care atunci nu am \u0219tiut s\u0103 o citesc.<\/p>\n
\u00centre timp, Marius devenea mai prezent dec\u00e2t era cazul.
Se oferea s\u0103 repare gardul, s\u0103 schimbe becurile, s\u0103 verifice acoperi\u0219ul.
P\u0103rea atent, grijuliu.
Dar privea mereu spre partea din spate a casei, spre terenul mo\u0219tenit de la p\u0103rin\u021bii mei, parc\u0103 f\u0103c\u00e2nd calcule.<\/p>\n
Apoi au \u00eenceput discu\u021biile despre bani.
\u201eMam\u0103, poate ar trebui s\u0103 ne \u00eempropriet\u0103ri\u021bi pe noi cu terenul. S\u0103 nu ave\u021bi grija asta.\u201d
\u201eTat\u0103, poate trece\u021bi casa pe numele nostru, ca s\u0103 nu se complice lucrurile dac\u0103 vi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva.\u201d
Spuneau aceste lucruri z\u00e2mbind, cu voce cald\u0103.
Cuvinte frumoase, dar cu\u021bite \u00eenvelite \u00een catifea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, Gheorghe a g\u0103sit \u00een atelierul lui o copie dup\u0103 testament, plin\u0103 de corecturi f\u0103cute cu pix ro\u0219u.
Nu era scrisul lui, nici al meu.
Era scrisul Alexandrei.
Atunci am v\u0103zut prima oar\u0103 frica \u00een ochii b\u0103rbatului meu.
\u0218i eu am sim\u021bit un fior rece \u00een spate, dar am refuzat s\u0103 accept realitatea.<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rul avea s\u0103 vin\u0103 peste noi mai repede dec\u00e2t credeam.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua \u00een care ne-au invitat la o \u201eplimbare\u201d pe falez\u0103, eu nu am b\u0103nuit nimic.
Alexandra ne spusese c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 ne arate un loc frumos, unde ar fi bine s\u0103 facem poze pentru viitorul album al familiei.
Marius z\u00e2mbea, dar ochii lui erau goi.
Gheorghe a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2na mea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.
Poate c\u0103 sim\u021bea.<\/p>\n
Ajun\u0219i l\u00e2ng\u0103 st\u00e2nc\u0103, Alexandra a venit \u00een spatele nostru.
\u201eV\u0103 iubesc\u201d, a spus.
Apoi m-a \u00eempins.<\/p>\n
C\u0103derea nu am sim\u021bit-o.
Doar v\u00e2ntul, o clip\u0103 scurt\u0103, \u0219i apoi \u00eentunericul.
M-am trezit cu gust de s\u00e2nge, cu durerea sf\u00e2\u0219ietoare din coaste \u0219i cu fa\u021ba lui Gheorghe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.
El c\u0103zuse dup\u0103 mine, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 m\u0103 prind\u0103.
Mi-a \u0219optit:
\u201eNu te mi\u0219ca, Ana. Pref\u0103-te moart\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deasupra noastr\u0103 se auzeau pa\u0219i.
Glasuri \u0219optite.
Alexandra \u00eentreba:
\u201eCrezi c\u0103 sunt mor\u021bi?\u201d
Marius r\u0103spunse: \u201eTrebuie s\u0103 fie.\u201d
\u0218i apoi s-au \u00eendep\u0103rtat.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-ne respira\u021bia, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd lini\u0219tea a acoperit tot.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Gheorghe a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, am v\u0103zut \u00een ochii lui hot\u0103r\u00e2rea unui om care nu mai avea nimic de pierdut.
\u201eAna, ascult\u0103-m\u0103. Ne ridic\u0103m, mergem la poli\u021bie \u0219i spunem tot. Nu mai putem ascunde adev\u0103rul.\u201d
\u201eCe adev\u0103r?\u201d am \u00eentrebat, tremur\u00e2nd.
El a t\u0103cut o clip\u0103.
Apoi mi-a spus cu voce stins\u0103:
\u201eAcela c\u0103 Alexandra l-a omor\u00e2t pe Radu acum 20 de ani.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lumea mea s-a rupt din nou.
Nu mai \u0219tiam ce e durerea: coastele fracturate sau inima mea.<\/p>\n
Cu ultimele puteri, Gheorghe m-a ridicat.
Am urcat panta aceea \u00een genunchi, cu s\u00e2ngele curg\u00e2nd pe haine, cu sufletul zdrobit, dar cu un singur g\u00e2nd:
s\u0103 nu l\u0103s\u0103m ca moartea copilului nostru s\u0103 fie acoperit\u0103 timp de o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een drum, un localnic ne-a v\u0103zut \u0219i a sunat la 112.
Ambulan\u021ba a venit \u00een c\u00e2teva minute.<\/p>\n
\u0218tiam c\u0103 urmeaz\u0103 cel mai greu drum din via\u021ba noastr\u0103.
Dar \u0219tiam \u0219i altceva:
\u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, minciuna de 20 de ani avea s\u0103 cad\u0103, exact ca noi \u2014
dar f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai poat\u0103 ridica vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
