\u2014 Domnule Radu, l\u0103sa\u021bi fata \u00een pace! \u2014 a strigat \u0219eful de \u0219antier, cu fa\u021ba alb\u0103 ca varul. \u2014 Nu e ce crede\u021bi!<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors spre el \u00eencet, sim\u021bind cum \u00eemi bate inima \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba exact asta e, Ion. Spune-mi adev\u0103rul. Acum.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a ezitat o clip\u0103. S-a uitat la Lucia, apoi la mine. \u0218i-a scos casca \u0219i a oftat ad\u00e2nc, ca un om care poart\u0103 un secret prea greu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fata asta\u2026 a venit aici cu acte f\u0103cute din pix. F\u0103r\u0103 buletin adev\u0103rat, f\u0103r\u0103 nimic. Doar o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie de la o firm\u0103 fantom\u0103. A zis c\u0103 a crescut prin centre de plasament.<\/p>\n
Lucia a str\u00e2ns pumnii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e treaba nim\u0103nui de unde vin \u2014 a spus ea \u00eencet. \u2014 Muncesc cinstit.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat din nou la g\u00e2tul ei. Cele trei semne din na\u0219tere erau acolo. Exact cum le \u0219tiam. Exact cum le \u021binusem minte \u00een fiecare noapte, timp de dou\u0103zeci de ani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunica ta\u2026 \u2014 am spus \u2014 cum o cheam\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana \u2014 a r\u0103spuns ea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103. \u2014 Ana Popescu. St\u0103m \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 veche, la marginea Ploie\u0219tiului. Dac\u0103 nu muncesc, n-avem ce m\u00e2nca. Medicamentele sunt scumpe.<\/p>\n
Picioarele mi s-au \u00eenmuiat.<\/p>\n
Ana.<\/p>\n
Numele femeii care, cu dou\u0103 decenii \u00een urm\u0103, fusese bona Sofiei mele.<\/p>\n
Femeia care disp\u0103ruse \u00een aceea\u0219i zi cu fiica mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ion \u2014 am spus \u00eencet \u2014 d\u0103-mi adresa fetei.<\/p>\n
Lucia m-a privit speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vre\u021bi de la mine? Eu n-am furat nimic. N-am f\u0103cut nimic r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu \u2014 i-am r\u0103spuns. \u2014 \u0218i tocmai de asta vreau s\u0103 mergem la bunica ta.<\/p>\n
Drumul p\u00e2n\u0103 la Ploie\u0219ti a fost t\u0103cut. Lucia st\u0103tea \u00een spate, cu m\u00e2inile str\u00e2nse \u00een poal\u0103. C\u00e2nd am ajuns, casa era exact cum spusese: mic\u0103, scorojit\u0103, cu gardul c\u0103zut \u00eentr-o parte.<\/p>\n
O femeie b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 st\u0103tea pe prag, \u00eenvelit\u0103 \u00eentr-un pulover prea sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit ea \u2014 n-ai voie s\u0103 fii aici.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai f\u0103cut-o, Ana? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103. \u2014 De ce mi-ai luat copilul?<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe scaun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru bani\u2026 \u2014 a spus pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd. \u2014 So\u021bia ta era bolnav\u0103. Tu erai mereu plecat. Un om mi-a oferit o sum\u0103 mare. A zis c\u0103 fata va ajunge \u00eentr-o familie bun\u0103. Dar m-a min\u021bit. Am fugit cu ea. Am crescut-o eu. Am vrut s-o protejez\u2026 dar n-am avut curajul s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc.<\/p>\n
Lucia s-a uitat c\u00e2nd la ea, c\u00e2nd la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Despre ce vorbi\u021bi?<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat de ea, \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lucia\u2026 tu nu e\u0219ti Lucia. Tu e\u0219ti Sofia. Fiica mea.<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219tea care a urmat a fost mai grea dec\u00e2t orice zgomot. Fata a \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu poate fi adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Am scos din buzunar o fotografie veche, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite-te.<\/p>\n
A privit-o. \u0218i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu ca un copil. Ca un adult care, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u00een\u021belege de ce a sim\u021bit mereu c\u0103 nu apar\u021bine nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aceea, Sofia nu s-a \u00eentors \u00eentr-un palat. S-a \u00eentors \u00eentr-un adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Am luat-o cu mine. I-am pl\u0103tit bunicii tratamentul. Am angajat avoca\u021bi. Am reparat ce se putea repara.<\/p>\n
Iar Sofia\u2026 a ales s\u0103 mai r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 o vreme pe \u0219antier.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 \u0219tiu cine sunt \u2014 mi-a spus. \u2014 Nu doar a cui sunt.<\/p>\n
Am \u00een\u021beles atunci c\u0103 nu pierdusem doar o fiic\u0103.<\/p>\n
O reg\u0103sisem pe deplin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
