\u2014 L\u0103sa\u021bi-o\u2026 v\u0103 rog.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui a fost calm\u0103, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103. Femeia a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 deranjeze, domnule Eduard. E doar un copil\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Tocmai de aceea.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a lovit u\u0219or masa cu palma, fericit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vezi? Am voie!<\/p>\n
Eduard a z\u00e2mbit. Un z\u00e2mbet mic, st\u00e2ngaci, pe care nu-l mai folosise de ani de zile. Augustin, martor t\u0103cut, aproape c\u0103 a sc\u0103pat tava din m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103 pe dumneata? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat Eduard.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria<\/strong>, domnule. Sunt femeia de serviciu. Vin de trei ori pe s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Maria\u2026 \u2014 a repetat el, \u00eencet, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103-i memoreze vocea.<\/p>\n Clara a \u00eentins m\u00e2na \u0219i i-a atins degetele.<\/p>\n \u2014 De ce nu vezi?<\/p>\n \u00centrebarea a venit simplu, f\u0103r\u0103 r\u0103utate. Maria a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Clara!<\/p>\n \u2014 E \u00een regul\u0103 \u2014 a spus Eduard. \u2014 Am avut un accident.<\/p>\n \u2014 Aoleu\u2026 te-a durut?<\/p>\n \u2014 Da. Mult.<\/p>\n Feti\u021ba s-a apropiat \u0219i mai tare.<\/p>\n \u2014 Pot s\u0103 te ajut s\u0103 vezi?<\/p>\n Eduard a r\u00e2s scurt, f\u0103r\u0103 ironie.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu cred, puiule.<\/p>\n \u2014 Eu cred. Mama zice c\u0103 dac\u0103 iube\u0219ti, po\u021bi orice.<\/p>\n Maria a l\u0103sat ochii \u00een jos. \u00cei tremura vocea.<\/p>\n \u2014 Tat\u0103l ei a murit\u2026 vorbe\u0219te mult despre iubire.<\/p>\n \u00cen seara aceea, Eduard a m\u00e2ncat pentru prima dat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 numere sunetele. Clara i-a povestit despre o pisic\u0103 de la bloc, despre o p\u0103pu\u0219\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 un ochi \u0219i despre cum bunica face cele mai bune cl\u0103tite.<\/p>\n \u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, a cerut ca Maria s\u0103 vin\u0103 zilnic. Oficial, pentru cur\u0103\u021benie. Neoficial, pentru Clara.<\/p>\n Au \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce \u00eempreun\u0103. Apoi s\u0103 asculte muzic\u0103. Eduard a cump\u0103rat c\u0103r\u021bi audio pentru copii, apoi pentru adul\u021bi, apoi pentru Maria.<\/p>\n \u00centr-o sear\u0103, Clara i-a adus o foaie.<\/p>\n \u2014 Am desenat pentru tine.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ce ai desenat?<\/p>\n \u2014 Pe noi. Tu e\u0219ti mare, eu sunt mic\u0103. Dar suntem \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n Eduard a str\u00e2ns h\u00e2rtia la piept. A pl\u00e2ns. Prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 \u0219apte ani.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 un an, a f\u0103cut ceva ce nu mai f\u0103cuse niciodat\u0103. A ie\u0219it din cas\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 program fix. Cu Maria de bra\u021b \u0219i Clara pe umeri.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 doi ani, a mutat-o pe Maria \u00eentr-un apartament decent, aproape de el. Nu din mil\u0103. Din recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 trei ani, Clara a \u00eenceput gr\u0103dini\u021ba. Eduard a fost acolo. Cu bastonul alb, dar cu capul sus.<\/p>\n Iar \u00eentr-o zi, la o mas\u0103 mare, cu mai multe scaune ocupate, Eduard a spus calm:<\/p>\n \u2014 N-am mai fost singur de mult.<\/p>\n Maria l-a privit emo\u021bionat\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nici noi.<\/p>\n Eduard Munteanu, omul care avea totul \u0219i nu avea nimic, a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat t\u00e2rziu cel mai important lucru: uneori, nu ochii te ajut\u0103 s\u0103 vezi via\u021ba.
