S-a aplecat \u00eencet \u0219i a b\u0103gat m\u00e2na \u00een seif, cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2ndu-i nebune\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Degetele i-au atins un obiect rece. O cheie. Mic\u0103, veche, cu o etichet\u0103 de h\u00e2rtie \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103 pe care scria un singur cuv\u00e2nt: \u201eDepozit\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce mai e \u0219i asta? a \u00eentrebat amanta, iritat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei n-a r\u0103spuns. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 aerul i se str\u00e2nge \u00een piept. Cheia nu era de la apartament. Nici de la cas\u0103. O \u0219tia prea bine, de\u0219i \u00eencerca s\u0103 se mint\u0103.<\/p>\n
Depozitul de la marginea ora\u0219ului.
Cel despre care tat\u0103l lui vorbise o singur\u0103 dat\u0103, cu ani \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tat\u0103l pe care Andrei \u00eel dispre\u021buise toat\u0103 via\u021ba. Muncitorul din fotografie. Omul care mirosea a ulei de motor \u0219i venea seara obosit, dar nu ridica niciodat\u0103 vocea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Asta e tot? a insistat amanta. At\u00e2ta \u201eavere\u201d?<\/p>\n
Andrei a ie\u0219it din birou f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i r\u0103spund\u0103. \u0218i-a luat haina \u0219i a plecat tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Drumul p\u00e2n\u0103 la depozit i s-a p\u0103rut interminabil. Ninsoarea se \u00eendesise. Luminile ora\u0219ului se pierdeau \u00een cea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns, a deschis u\u0219a metalic\u0103 cu m\u00e2ini tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru nu erau aur sau bani.
Erau rafturi pline de cutii, dosare, unelte vechi, utilaje recondi\u021bionate.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00eentr-un col\u021b, un seif mai mic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen el a g\u0103sit acte. Contracte. Dovada unui atelier trecut pe numele tat\u0103lui, apoi pe numele fiului. O firm\u0103 mic\u0103, dar curat\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 datorii. F\u0103r\u0103 combina\u021bii.<\/p>\n
\u0218i un plic.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 ai r\u0103mas singur. Nu \u021bi-am l\u0103sat bani pentru c\u0103 n-ai \u0219tiut ce s\u0103 faci cu ei. \u021ai-am l\u0103sat ce \u0219tiam eu: munc\u0103 cinstit\u0103. Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 fii om, \u00eencepe de aici.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe un scaun. Pentru prima dat\u0103, a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103, so\u021bia lui, Maria, st\u0103tea \u00eentr-un centru de primire din Bucure\u0219ti, cu b\u0103iatul adormit pe piept. Voluntarii le aduseser\u0103 ceai cald \u0219i p\u0103turi.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, Maria a depus pl\u00e2ngere. A ob\u021binut ordin de protec\u021bie. A cerut divor\u021bul.<\/p>\n
Au urmat luni grele. Procese. Drumuri. Fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar \u0219i oameni buni.<\/p>\n
Un avocat care a ajutat-o f\u0103r\u0103 bani. O educatoare care s-a ata\u0219at de copil. Un mic ajutor de la stat.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eencercat s\u0103 sune. De zeci de ori.<\/p>\n
Maria n-a r\u0103spuns niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 un an, ea \u0219i fiul ei st\u0103teau \u00eentr-un apartament modest, dar cald. B\u0103iatul respira mai bine. Z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, Maria a primit o scrisoare.<\/p>\n
Andrei renun\u021ba la orice preten\u021bie. Semna tot. L\u0103sa pensie alimentar\u0103 peste ce cerea legea.<\/p>\n
Nu cerea nimic.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eenchis plicul \u0219i l-a pus \u00eentr-un sertar.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it pe balcon. Era prim\u0103var\u0103. Soarele \u00eenc\u0103lzea blocurile gri.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, a sim\u021bit c\u0103 viitorul nu mai doare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
