\u2026iar Ana a sim\u021bit cum \u00een aer plutea ceva nespus, greu, ap\u0103s\u0103tor. B\u0103iatul \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2ngea buzele ca \u0219i cum orice cuv\u00e2nt spus prea tare ar fi putut aduce necazuri peste ei.<\/p>\n
Doctorul Varga i-a f\u0103cut un semn unei asistente s\u0103 aduc\u0103 o sticl\u0103 cu lapte pentru bebelu\u0219\u0103 \u0219i o p\u0103tur\u0103 groas\u0103 pentru Matei. C\u00e2nd i-au a\u0219ezat p\u0103tura pe umeri, b\u0103iatul a tres\u0103rit, dar n-a zis nimic. Doar \u0219i-a mutat privirea spre Sofia, ca \u0219i cum doar ea conta.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, nu prea aproape, ca s\u0103 nu-l sperie.
\u2014 Matei, aici e\u0219ti \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103. Nimeni nu o s\u0103 te certe \u0219i nimeni n-o s\u0103 v\u0103 fac\u0103 r\u0103u. Po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui orice.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, b\u0103iatul a p\u0103rut c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, dar cuvintele nu ie\u0219eau. \u0218i atunci, ca un gest reflex, \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la t\u0103ietura de la spr\u00e2ncean\u0103, ap\u0103s\u00e2nd u\u0219or, ca \u0219i cum durerea fizic\u0103 era mai u\u0219oar\u0103 dec\u00e2t cea din suflet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 ne g\u0103se\u0219te\u2026 \u2014 a murmurat el.<\/p>\n
Ana \u0219i doctorul s-au privit scurt. \u00cen astfel de situa\u021bii, experien\u021ba le spunea c\u0103, de obicei, \u00een spatele t\u0103cerii se ascunde ceva \u00eengrozitor.<\/p>\n
Sofia a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103, un pl\u00e2ns mic, r\u0103gu\u0219it. Matei a \u00eencercat s-o legene, dar m\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau a\u0219a de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t abia o putea \u021bine. Ana a \u00eentins palma spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 te ajut, puiule? Doar s\u0103-i dau biberonul, tu r\u0103m\u00e2i l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Matei a ezitat, dar \u00een cele din urm\u0103 a dat din cap. Ana i-a pus sticla micu\u021bei, iar feti\u021ba a \u00eenceput s\u0103 sug\u0103 cu disperare, ca \u0219i cum n-ar mai fi m\u00e2ncat de ore \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei\u2026 voi a\u021bi fost singuri acas\u0103? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat doctorul cu o voce cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul a r\u0103suflat greu, ca \u0219i cum \u00eentrebarea \u00eei ap\u0103sa pieptul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am voie s\u0103 spun\u2026 a zis c\u0103 dac\u0103 spun\u2026 ne g\u0103se\u0219te oriunde.<\/p>\n
Ana a sim\u021bit un fior pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii. \u0218tia foarte bine ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 acel \u201ea zis\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine, Matei? Cine v-a f\u0103cut asta?<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul \u0219i-a lipit fruntea de capul Sofiei \u0219i a \u0219optit:
\u2014 Tata\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00cen \u00eenc\u0103pere s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te grea. Doctorul Varga a inspirat ad\u00e2nc, iar Ana \u0219i-a mu\u0219cat buza ca s\u0103 nu scape un oftat. Situa\u021bia era clar\u0103, iar urm\u0103torii pa\u0219i erau inevitabili.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei, aici nu poate s\u0103 intre nimeni care s\u0103 v\u0103 fac\u0103 r\u0103u. Promit \u2014 a spus Ana, a\u0219ez\u00e2ndu-\u0219i m\u00e2na pe sp\u0103tarul scaunului, aproape de el, dar f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l ating\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul a dat din cap, dar ochii \u00eei erau lipi\u021bi de u\u0219\u0103, de parc\u0103 se a\u0219tepta ca tat\u0103l lui s\u0103 irump\u0103 \u00een orice clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, o asistent\u0103 s-a apropiat cu dosarul pentru internare. Ana i-a f\u0103cut semn discret s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 \u2014 presim\u021bea c\u0103 un simplu formular l-ar fi speriat \u0219i mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei, c\u00e2t a\u021bi mers p\u00e2n\u0103 aici? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat Ana, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-l distrag\u0103 u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mult\u2026 cred c\u0103 ore. Am cobor\u00e2t pe \u0219osea, apoi am intrat prin p\u0103dure. Nu aveam bani de autobuz\u2026 \u2014 a spus el, abia auzit.<\/p>\n
Ana sim\u021bea cum \u00eei urc\u0103 lacrimile \u00een ochi.
\u2014 \u0218i de ce a\u021bi plecat acum, \u00een toiul nop\u021bii?<\/p>\n
Matei a ridicat privirea \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103, \u00een ochii lui nu era doar fric\u0103, ci \u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 azi\u2026 s-a sup\u0103rat iar. \u0218i m-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 dac\u0103 nu plec\u0103m\u2026 nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 apucam diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Un nod i-a blocat glasul. Ana i-a pus p\u0103turica mai bine pe umeri, iar doctorul a f\u0103cut deja un semn c\u0103tre agentul de paz\u0103 s\u0103 sune la Poli\u021bie, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic cu voce tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai f\u0103cut ce trebuia, Matei. Ai fost un frate mai mare cum rar vezi \u2014 a spus Ana.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul a clipit repede, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am avut bani de nimic\u2026 nici m\u0103car de m\u00e2ncare pentru Sofi. Mai aveam doar 5 lei\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 ave\u021bi tot ce v\u0103 trebuie acum. E\u0219ti aici, iar aici oamenii te ajut\u0103 \u2014 l-a reasigurat Ana.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Poli\u021bia a ajuns, ofi\u021berul a intrat \u00een salon cu pa\u0219i lini\u0219ti\u021bi, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridice tonul, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se apropie prea mult. A \u00een\u021beles imediat c\u0103 orice mi\u0219care gre\u0219it\u0103 \u00eel putea speria pe b\u0103iat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei, sunt aici s\u0103 te ajut. Nu trebuie s\u0103-mi spui nimic dac\u0103 nu vrei. Doar vreau s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 e\u0219ti \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103 \u2014 i-a spus acesta.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul l-a privit c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a rostit \u00eencet:
\u2014 Vreau doar\u2026 s\u0103 nu ne mai g\u0103seasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Ana a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 povestea acestui copil nu era doar despre fric\u0103, ci \u0219i despre curaj. Curajul de a fugi. Curajul de a proteja. Curajul de a cere ajutor.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, privind cum Sofia adoarme \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it cu biberonul gol \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, iar Matei \u00ee\u0219i las\u0103 capul pe sp\u0103tar, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea noapte, Ana a sim\u021bit c\u0103 poate, poate, destinul acestor doi copii \u00eencepuse deja s\u0103 se schimbe.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een sufletul ei s-a n\u0103scut o singur\u0103 promisiune:
