Andrei a p\u0103\u0219it calm spre noi, scutur\u00e2nd z\u0103pada de pe bocanci. Era un b\u0103rbat solid, cu privirea limpede, obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 aplaneze tot felul de necazuri prin satele din zon\u0103. M-a salutat din cap, apoi s-a \u00eentors c\u0103tre copiii mei, care p\u0103reau mai mici dec\u00e2t \u00eei v\u0103zusem vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eAvem vreo problem\u0103 aici?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat el, pe un ton politicos, dar ferm.<\/p>\n
Mihai a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 sigur de el.
\u201eDomnule adjunct, e doar o ne\u00een\u021belegere de familie. Mama\u2026 nu e \u00een cea mai bun\u0103 stare. Am venit s-o ajut\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei l-a m\u0103surat din priviri, ca pe un om obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 aud\u0103 scuze.
\u201eDoamna a depus o cerere oficial\u0103 ieri. Proprietatea e a ei, iar accesul f\u0103r\u0103 acordul ei se consider\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103lcare de domiciliu. V\u0103 rog s\u0103 p\u0103stra\u021bi distan\u021ba.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura a p\u0103lit. Mihai a deschis gura, dar s-a r\u0103zg\u00e2ndit. Doar l\u0103c\u0103tu\u0219ul, bietul om, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103 dispar\u0103 \u00een z\u0103pad\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, chiar faci asta?\u201d a murmurat Laura. \u201eNoi\u2026 doar \u00eencercam s\u0103 te ajut\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eAjutor?\u201d, am repetat. \u201eAjutor e c\u00e2nd ba\u021bi la u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i \u00eentrebi ce mai faci. Nu c\u00e2nd vii cu l\u0103c\u0103tu\u0219ul s\u0103-mi iei casa. \u0218i pentru ce? Pentru Marc? Cel care nu m-a \u00eentrebat o singur\u0103 dat\u0103 dac\u0103 sunt bine?\u201d<\/p>\n
Am v\u0103zut cum \u00eei tremur\u0103 b\u0103rbia. Poate pentru prima dat\u0103, am v\u0103zut-o nu ca pe fiica mea, ci ca pe o femeie care nu \u0219tia cum s\u0103 gestioneze ce sem\u0103nase ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i: distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mihai, \u00een schimb, a explodat.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u021ai-ai pierdut min\u021bile! Cum s\u0103-\u021bi cumperi munte? De unde ai avut at\u00e2\u021bia bani? Ce rost are s\u0103 stai tu singur\u0103 aici?\u201d<\/p>\n
Am ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele.
\u201eDe unde am avut banii? Din pensie, din economii, din faptul c\u0103 n-am cheltuit pe prostii toat\u0103 via\u021ba. \u0218i da, muntele \u0103sta are rost. M-am sim\u021bit uitat\u0103. Aici, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, am sim\u021bit lini\u0219te.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei a intervenit iar.
\u201eDomnule, v\u0103 rog s\u0103 v\u0103 lini\u0219ti\u021bi. Dac\u0103 mai ridica\u021bi tonul, va trebui s\u0103 iau m\u0103suri.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a dat cu piciorul \u00een z\u0103pad\u0103, furios, dar s-a retras. Era clar c\u0103 nu se a\u0219teptaser\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 nici preg\u0103tit\u0103, nici hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103. Pentru ei, eu r\u0103m\u0103sesem \u201emama care cedeaz\u0103\u201d, femeia care pl\u0103te\u0219te, care tace, care se d\u0103 la o parte.<\/p>\n
Nu mai eram aceea.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas spre ei.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218ti\u021bi ce doare cel mai tare? Nu c\u0103 m-a\u021bi uitat la Cr\u0103ciun. Ci c\u0103 nici m\u0103car nu v-a\u021bi g\u00e2ndit dac\u0103 sunt bine. N-a\u021bi fost curio\u0219i. A\u021bi presupus doar c\u0103 sunt acolo\u2026 undeva\u2026 ca o pies\u0103 veche de mobilier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103. Mihai privea \u00een gol, cu pumnii str\u00e2n\u0219i.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103\u2026 dac\u0103 ai fi spus ceva\u2026\u201d, a \u00eenceput el.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm spus. Ani de zile am spus. A\u021bi fost prea ocupa\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
A venit o rafal\u0103 de v\u00e2nt rece, ridic\u00e2nd cristale de z\u0103pad\u0103 \u00eentre noi. A fost un moment ciudat, de t\u0103cere grea, \u00een care fiecare \u00ee\u0219i \u021binea respiratia.<\/p>\n
Apoi am continuat, mai bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u201eEu v\u0103 iubesc. Tot timpul v-am iubit. Dar iubirea nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 las c\u0103lcat\u0103 \u00een picioare. Muntele \u0103sta\u2026 nu e un moft. E locul unde am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 exist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte \u0219i m-a atins u\u0219or de bra\u021b.
\u201e\u00cemi pare r\u0103u, mam\u0103\u2026 chiar \u00eemi pare.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele ei, Mihai \u00eenc\u0103 se lupta cu orgoliul. Dar p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 a cedat.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm gre\u0219it,\u201d a spus \u00eencet. \u201eNu trebuia s\u0103 venim a\u0219a. N-a fost corect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei a privit scena \u00een lini\u0219te, apoi a dat un pas \u00eenapoi, discret, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-ne spa\u021biu.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 vre\u021bi s\u0103 vorbi\u021bi, vorbi\u021bi,\u201d a spus el. \u201eEu r\u0103m\u00e2n aici, doar s\u0103 fiu sigur c\u0103 totul r\u0103m\u00e2ne pa\u0219nic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een multe luni, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva real. Nu scuze for\u021bate, nu vorbe goale. O schimbare sincer\u0103, chiar dac\u0103 mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Le-am f\u0103cut semn spre caban\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eHaide\u021bi \u00een\u0103untru. Am p\u00e2ine cald\u0103. \u0218i, dac\u0103 tot a\u021bi venit\u2026 poate st\u0103m de vorb\u0103 ca oamenii.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura a z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi. Mihai a dat din cap, \u00eenc\u0103 ru\u0219inat. L\u0103c\u0103tu\u0219ul s-a retras, u\u0219urat c\u0103 nu mai trebuie s\u0103 sparg\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am intrat \u00een caban\u0103, c\u0103ldura din sob\u0103 i-a \u00eenv\u0103luit. Mirosul de p\u00e2ine, lemnul uscat, lini\u0219tea aceea de munte\u2026 totul p\u0103rea s\u0103 sting\u0103 \u00eencet-\u00eencet tensiunea.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een acel moment am \u00een\u021beles ceva important: nu muntele mi-a adus curajul.<\/p>\n
Curajul fusese mereu \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
Muntele doar mi-a dat locul unde s\u0103-l descop\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 \u0219i copiii mei \u00eencep s\u0103 vad\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
