\u2026\u0219i, pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce se apropia, sim\u021beam cum tot aerul din capel\u0103 se \u00eengreuneaz\u0103, ca \u0219i cum pere\u021bii s-ar fi str\u00e2ns peste noi.<\/p>\n
S-a oprit la c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i de sicriul mamei \u0219i m-a privit direct. O privire care m-a zguduit, pentru c\u0103 nu era ostil\u0103, nici triumf\u0103toare. Era\u2026 dureroas\u0103. Ca \u0219i cum \u0219i ea ar fi ajuns aici f\u0103r\u0103 voia ei.<\/p>\n
Tata \u00ee\u0219i ascundea fa\u021ba \u00een palme, iar eu am sim\u021bit cum mi se taie picioarele.<\/p>\n
Femeia \u2014 sora mea, de fapt \u2014 a inspirat ad\u00e2nc \u0219i a spus cu o voce cald\u0103, dar nesigur\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eEu sunt Ana.\u201d<\/p>\n
Numele ei m-a lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t orice. Simplu, rom\u00e2nesc, f\u0103r\u0103 mister. Ana. O fat\u0103 care, p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een acel moment, pentru mine nu exista.<\/p>\n
Lumea murmur\u0103 ca un stup de albine. Preotul \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 lini\u0219te, dar nimeni nu-l mai asculta.<\/p>\n
Ana a f\u0103cut un pas spre mine.
Am f\u0103cut, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vreau, un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu am venit s\u0103 cer nimic, a continuat ea. Nu am venit s\u0103 fac scandal. Am venit doar\u2026 pentru ea.<\/p>\n
A \u00eentors capul spre sicriul mamei mele.<\/p>\n
Un fior m-a str\u0103b\u0103tut.
Ce putea avea ea cu mama mea?<\/p>\n
Tata a tres\u0103rit \u0219i s-a ridicat. A vrut s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar vocea nu i-a ie\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Ana a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am aflat adev\u0103rul abia acum dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Am c\u0103utat metode s\u0103 vorbesc cu voi, dar n-am \u0219tiut cum. Apoi\u2026 am aflat c\u0103 a murit. \u0218i\u2026 am venit.<\/p>\n
Se auzeau lacrimi amestecate cu respira\u021bii t\u0103iate prin sal\u0103. Oamenii nu mai \u0219tiau dac\u0103 asist\u0103 la o dram\u0103 de familie sau la o dezv\u0103luire istoric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Eu sim\u021beam c\u0103 \u00eemi fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce adev\u0103r? am reu\u0219it s\u0103 \u00eentreb, cu o voce sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
Ana m-a privit direct.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103 tat\u0103l t\u0103u e \u0219i tat\u0103l meu. \u0218i c\u0103 mama ta\u2026 \u0219tia.<\/p>\n
M-a cuprins o ame\u021beal\u0103 scurt\u0103. Dac\u0103 nu m-a\u0219 fi \u021binut de marginea b\u0103ncii, a\u0219 fi c\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
Tata a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. Nu \u021bipete, nu suspine puternice. O pl\u00e2ngere surd\u0103, vinovat\u0103, ca un om care poart\u0103 ceva greu de prea mult timp.<\/p>\n
Ana a p\u0103\u0219it mai aproape.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama ta m-a c\u0103utat acum c\u00e2teva luni, a spus ea. A venit la mine acas\u0103, \u00een Bra\u0219ov. Mi-a spus c\u0103 e bolnav\u0103. C\u0103 nu mai are timp. \u0218i c\u0103\u2026 ar vrea s\u0103 ne \u00eent\u00e2lnim c\u00e2ndva. Pe toate trei.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele ei au t\u0103iat aerul ca o sabie.<\/p>\n
Mama mea?
A mers la ea?
Singur\u0103?<\/p>\n
Ana a continuat, cu lacrimi \u00een ochi:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a spus c\u0103 nu e vina nim\u0103nui, c\u0103 lumea era altfel atunci \u0219i c\u0103 tata\u2026 nu a \u0219tiut cum s\u0103 repare. Dar ea a \u00eencercat. A vrut s\u0103 \u00eendrepte lucrurile.<\/p>\n
Sim\u021beam cum mi se str\u00e2nge g\u00e2tul.
Mama mea, cea at\u00e2t de t\u0103cut\u0103 \u0219i elegant\u0103, purta \u00een ea un secret uria\u0219\u2026 \u0219i totu\u0219i g\u0103sise puterea s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i doreasc\u0103 \u00eemp\u0103care.<\/p>\n
Tata a c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi l\u00e2ng\u0103 banc\u0103, cu m\u00e2inile la piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103\u2026 a \u0219optit. Iart\u0103-m\u0103 pe am\u00e2ndou\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Ana s-a aplecat pu\u021bin spre el.
Eu am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiam ce s\u0103 simt. Durere? Tr\u0103dare? Furie?
Sau recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 pentru c\u0103 aflam, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, adev\u0103rul?<\/p>\n
Ana s-a \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei\u2026 putem vorbi alt\u0103 dat\u0103. Nu trebuie acum. Pot pleca. Dar\u2026 voiam doar s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 n-am venit pentru bani. Nici pentru testament. Am venit doar pentru c\u0103 mama ta m-a rugat s\u0103 nu r\u0103m\u00e2n cu regretul \u0103sta.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi tremur\u0103 buzele.<\/p>\n
\u00cen toat\u0103 agita\u021bia, preotul a cerut lini\u0219te, dar nimeni nu-l asculta.
Lumea tr\u0103ia o alt\u0103 slujb\u0103 \u2014 una a adev\u0103rului ascuns.<\/p>\n
Ana a f\u0103cut un pas spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Plec, a spus.<\/p>\n
\u00cen secunda aia, am sim\u021bit o voce care urla \u00een mine:
\u201eNu o l\u0103sa s\u0103 plece a\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am inspirat, am f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 \u0219i am spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana\u2026 r\u0103m\u00e2i.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 sala a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a \u00eentors c\u0103tre mine, cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te rog\u2026 r\u0103m\u00e2i, am repetat. Dac\u0103 mama a vrut s\u0103 fim \u00eempreun\u0103\u2026 atunci m\u0103car azi s\u0103-i respect\u0103m dorin\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Tata a izbucnit din nou \u00een pl\u00e2ns.
Ana a cl\u0103tinat din cap, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i trag\u0103 sufletul.<\/p>\n
A venit spre mine.
S-a oprit la jum\u0103tate de metru.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am vrut s\u0103 intru a\u0219a \u00een via\u021ba ta, a spus ea.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poate c\u0103 n-ai ales ziua.
Dar ai ales s\u0103 spui adev\u0103rul.
\u0218i asta\u2026 conteaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
Ana a privit-o o secund\u0103 lung\u0103, apoi a prins-o, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd-o cu o for\u021b\u0103 cald\u0103 \u0219i tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sala a \u00eenceput s\u0103 suspine. Unii pl\u00e2ngeau, al\u021bii \u00ee\u0219i \u0219tergeau ochii \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu m-am mai sim\u021bit singur\u0103 \u00een haosul \u0103la.<\/p>\n
Eram dou\u0103.
Dou\u0103 fiice ale aceleia\u0219i pove\u0219ti.
Dou\u0103 femei care abia acum \u00ee\u0219i aflau jum\u0103tatea lips\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00een timp ce prindeam m\u00e2na Anei, am sim\u021bit \u2014 pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea zi grea \u2014 c\u0103 mama, undeva, poate z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 testamentul ei crease scandal.
Ci pentru c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, ne g\u0103sisem una pe cealalt\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
