\u2026Dan st\u0103tea pe marginea patului, cu capul \u00een m\u00e2ini. Sacoul era aruncat pe podea, c\u0103ma\u0219a descheiat\u0103 la g\u00e2t, iar fa\u021ba lui nu mai avea nimic din z\u00e2mbetul calm pe care \u00eel \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, s-a ridicat brusc \u0219i mi-a spus acele cuvinte care mi-au t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u\u2026 ar fi trebuit s\u0103-\u021bi spun mai devreme.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103-mi spui ce, Dan? am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi \u021bin vocea calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
A ezitat c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a scos din noptier\u0103 o fotografie veche, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103 la col\u021buri. A pus-o pe pat, \u00eentre noi.<\/p>\n
Era o poz\u0103 cu el, mult mai t\u00e2n\u0103r, \u021bin\u00e2nd de m\u00e2n\u0103 o femeie. L\u00e2ng\u0103 ei, un copil de vreo opt ani, cu ochii mari \u0219i serio\u0219i.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am avut o familie, mi-a spus el, rar, ap\u0103sat. O so\u021bie\u2026 \u0219i un fiu.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se \u00eenmoaie genunchii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai spus c\u0103 nu ai fost niciodat\u0103 c\u0103s\u0103torit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a e. N-am fost. Dar femeia din poz\u0103 a murit acum doisprezece ani. \u0218i b\u0103iatul\u2026 b\u0103iatul a r\u0103mas la socrii mei. Eu am f\u0103cut o gre\u0219eal\u0103 enorm\u0103 atunci. Am fugit. De durere, de responsabilitate, de mine.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. Nu pentru c\u0103 avea un copil. Ci pentru c\u0103 nu-mi spusese.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Dan a ridicat privirea. Avea ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum fiul meu, Andrei<\/strong>, are 20 de ani. M-a c\u0103utat. Vrea s\u0103 m\u0103 cunoasc\u0103. \u0218i a venit aici \u00een seara asta.<\/p>\n Mi-a ar\u0103tat u\u0219a de la camera de oaspe\u021bi.<\/p>\n Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t aveam impresia c\u0103 se aude \u00een toat\u0103 casa.<\/p>\n \u2014 E aici? \u00cen casa noastr\u0103? \u00cen noaptea nun\u021bii?<\/p>\n \u2014 Da. N-am avut curajul s\u0103-\u021bi spun mai devreme. Mi-a fost fric\u0103 s\u0103 nu te pierd.<\/p>\n Am stat pe pat, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun nimic. G\u00e2ndurile se izbeau unele de altele. Furie. Dezam\u0103gire. Team\u0103. Dar \u0219i o ciudat\u0103 \u00een\u021belegere.<\/p>\n Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, m-am ridicat.<\/p>\n \u2014 Vreau s\u0103-l cunosc.<\/p>\n Dan m-a privit surprins.<\/p>\n \u2014 E\u0219ti sigur\u0103?<\/p>\n \u2014 Sunt. Dac\u0103 urmeaz\u0103 s\u0103 fim o familie, atunci nu vreau minciuni. Nici u\u0219i \u00eenchise.<\/p>\n Andrei era \u00een picioare c\u00e2nd am intrat. Era \u00eenalt, sem\u0103na izbitor cu Dan. Aceia\u0219i ochi.<\/p>\n \u2014 Bun\u0103, a spus el, cu o voce timid\u0103. Eu sunt Andrei.<\/p>\n \u2014 Bun\u0103, eu sunt Ioana<\/strong>, am r\u0103spuns. So\u021bia tat\u0103lui t\u0103u.<\/p>\n A z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u0218tiu. \u0218i\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 apar a\u0219a, din senin.<\/p>\n Am stat de vorb\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 t\u00e2rziu. Despre copil\u0103ria lui, despre absen\u021ba tat\u0103lui, despre \u00eentreb\u0103rile f\u0103r\u0103 r\u0103spuns. Dan a pl\u00e2ns pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n \u00cen noaptea aceea nu a fost o noapte de nunt\u0103 obi\u0219nuit\u0103. A fost o noapte de adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, am f\u0103cut cafea pentru to\u021bi trei. St\u0103team la mas\u0103, \u00een pijamale, cu ochii obosi\u021bi, dar cu sufletul mai curat ca niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ioana, mi-a spus Dan, \u0219tiu c\u0103 am \u00eenceput prost. Dar dac\u0103 mai vrei s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, \u00ee\u021bi promit c\u0103 de azi \u00eenainte nu va mai exista nimic ascuns.<\/p>\n M-am uitat la el. Apoi la Andrei.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu m-am m\u0103ritat cu un b\u0103rbat perfect, am spus. M-am m\u0103ritat cu un om. \u0218i oamenii gre\u0219esc. Important e ce fac dup\u0103.<\/p>\n Andrei a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n Au trecut lunile. Am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 fim o familie. Cu pa\u0219i mici. Cu discu\u021bii lungi. Cu adev\u0103ruri spuse la timp.<\/p>\n Ast\u0103zi, c\u00e2nd st\u0103m duminica la mas\u0103, cu ciorba pe foc \u0219i televizorul \u00eencet deschis \u00een fundal, \u0219tiu un lucru sigur.<\/p>\n Dragostea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 perfec\u021biune.<\/p>\n \u00censeamn\u0103 curajul de a spune adev\u0103rul\u2026 \u0219i de a r\u0103m\u00e2ne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2026Dan st\u0103tea pe marginea patului, cu capul \u00een m\u00e2ini.
