Am \u00eenchis telefonul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea \u00een g\u00e2t, iar \u00een cap \u00eemi r\u0103suna vocea aceea str\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am stat minute bune privind ecranul negru, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi adun g\u00e2ndurile. Bunicul meu fusese cel mai onest om pe care l-am cunoscut vreodat\u0103. Cum adic\u0103 \u201enu a fost cine credeam\u201d?<\/p>\n
Am sunat \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Vocea de data asta era calm\u0103, de b\u0103rbat trecut de 50 de ani. Mi-a spus s\u0103 ne \u00eent\u00e2lnim a doua zi, la o cafenea mic\u0103 din Ploie\u0219ti, l\u00e2ng\u0103 gar\u0103. A zis doar at\u00e2t:
\n\u201eO s\u0103-\u021bi ar\u0103t ni\u0219te lucruri. Apoi vei \u00een\u021belege.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noaptea aia n-am dormit deloc.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, am intrat \u00een cafenea cu stomacul str\u00e2ns. B\u0103rbatul st\u0103tea la o mas\u0103 din col\u021b. Purta o geac\u0103 veche, dar curat\u0103, \u0219i avea privirea ap\u0103sat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eTu e\u0219ti Ana?\u201d, m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
A scos un plic gros \u0219i l-a pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eBunicul t\u0103u se numea, de fapt, altfel \u00een tinere\u021be. A lucrat ani de zile ca inginer pe \u0219antiere mari. A c\u00e2\u0219tigat bani mul\u021bi. Foarte mul\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se taie respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e posibil\u2026 noi abia ne descurcam.\u201d<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu. A ales asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
A deschis plicul. \u00cen\u0103untru erau acte. Contracte. Extrasuri de cont. Totul pe numele bunicului meu. Sume care m-au ame\u021bit. Sute de mii de lei.<\/p>\n
\u201eAvea bani suficien\u021bi s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 griji. Dar dup\u0103 moartea p\u0103rin\u021bilor t\u0103i, a f\u0103cut un lucru.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi-a \u00eentins o h\u00e2rtie cu titlu mare: ACT DE DONA\u021aIE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bunicul donase cea mai mare parte din averea lui unui centru pentru copii orfani din jude\u021b.<\/p>\n \u201eA spus c\u0103 nu vrea ca tu s\u0103 cre\u0219ti crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 banii rezolv\u0103 totul. A vrut s\u0103 te \u00eenve\u021be s\u0103 fii puternic\u0103, modest\u0103 \u0219i recunosc\u0103toare.\u201d<\/p>\n Lacrimile au \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi curg\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le pot opri.<\/p>\n \u201eDar de ce s\u0103 mint\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n B\u0103rbatul m-a privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n \u201ePentru c\u0103 te iubea mai mult dec\u00e2t via\u021ba lui.\u201d<\/p>\n Mi-a mai dat un plic.<\/p>\n \u201eAsta e pentru tine. A l\u0103sat instruc\u021biuni clare s\u0103-l prime\u0219ti doar dup\u0103 ce \u00eempline\u0219ti 18 ani.\u201d<\/p>\n L-am deschis cu degetele tremur\u00e2nde. \u00cen\u0103untru era o scrisoare scris\u0103 de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n \u201ePuiule, Am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns \u00een mijlocul cafenelei.<\/p>\n Bunicul meu, omul care purta haine vechi \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i num\u0103ra fiecare leu, fusese \u00een t\u0103cere unul dintre cei mai genero\u0219i oameni pe care i-am cunoscut.<\/p>\n \u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, am aflat tot.<\/p>\n Casa era achitat\u0103 integral. Exista un cont pe numele meu. \u0218i o cerere de burs\u0103 deja depus\u0103, semnat\u0103 de el, \u201e\u00een caz c\u0103 nu mai apuc\u201d.<\/p>\n Atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n Nu m-a min\u021bit ca s\u0103 m\u0103 r\u0103neasc\u0103.

\nDac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu mai sunt.
\nS\u0103 nu fii sup\u0103rat\u0103 pe mine.
\nAm spus \u00abnu ne permitem\u00bb nu pentru c\u0103 nu aveam, ci pentru c\u0103 voiam s\u0103 \u0219tii valoarea fiec\u0103rui lucru.

\nTot ce am f\u0103cut, am f\u0103cut din dragoste.
\nBanii mei sunt acum ai t\u0103i. Folose\u0219te-i cu cap.
\nDar, mai ales, folose\u0219te-\u021bi inima.\u201d<\/p>\n
