Matei s-a oprit chiar \u00een fa\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
Mopul i-a alunecat din m\u00e2ini \u0219i a c\u0103zut pe marmur\u0103 cu un zgomot sec, care a f\u0103cut c\u00e2teva capete s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103. Valeria a \u00eengenuncheat instinctiv, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie de ce, ca \u0219i cum corpul ei ar fi \u0219tiut \u00eenaintea min\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Copilul pl\u00e2ngea cu sughi\u021buri scurte, tremurate. A \u00eentins m\u00e2na mic\u0103 \u0219i i-a apucat uniforma, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd materialul cu o disperare care nu era de v\u00e2rsta lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mamii\u2026 \u2014 a spus el, clar, r\u0103spicat.<\/p>\n
Un cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Un singur cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Salonul a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
Muzica s-a oprit. Paharele au r\u0103mas suspendate \u00een aer. Radu a sim\u021bit cum i se taie respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce\u2026 ce ai spus, puiule? \u2014 a \u0219optit el, apropiindu-se.<\/p>\n
Matei a ridicat capul, cu lacrimile \u0219iroind pe obraji, \u0219i a repetat, uit\u00e2ndu-se direct la Valeria:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mamii\u2026 ea e mamii mea.<\/p>\n
Valeria a sim\u021bit c\u0103 i se \u00eenmoaie genunchii. To\u021bi anii de fug\u0103, de fric\u0103, de t\u0103cere s-au pr\u0103bu\u0219it \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Patricia a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce prostie e asta?! \u2014 a izbucnit ea. \u2014 E doar femeia de serviciu! Copilul e confuz!<\/p>\n
Dar Matei s-a \u00eentors spre ea \u0219i a \u021bipat, cu o voce mic\u0103, dar plin\u0103 de spaim\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu! Ea e rea! Mami pl\u00e2ngea! Mami dormea! Tu \u00eei d\u0103deai ap\u0103 amar\u0103!<\/p>\n
Un murmur s-a ridicat din mul\u021bime.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. Radu a sim\u021bit cum i se clatin\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n
Valeria a \u00eenchis ochii pentru o secund\u0103. Apoi s-a ridicat \u00eencet \u0219i \u0219i-a scos m\u0103nu\u0219ile galbene. A scos din buzunarul uniformei o h\u00e2rtie \u00eendoit\u0103 de multe ori.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule Radu\u2026 \u2014 vocea \u00eei tremura, dar nu s-a oprit \u2014 Eu nu sunt cine crede\u021bi. Numele meu adev\u0103rat nu conteaz\u0103. Conteaz\u0103 doar c\u0103 prietena mea, Camelia, v-a iubit. \u0218i c\u0103 \u00eenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103 mi-a l\u0103sat asta.<\/p>\n
I-a \u00eentins scrisoarea.<\/p>\n
Radu a desf\u0103cut-o cu m\u00e2ini care nu-l mai ascultau. A recunoscut imediat scrisul so\u021biei sale. Fiecare cuv\u00e2nt l-a lovit ca un pumn \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Patricia a \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O fars\u0103! O minciun\u0103! \u2014 a spus ea, dar vocea \u00eei era sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
Valeria a scos telefonul. A ap\u0103sat \u201eplay\u201d.<\/p>\n
Vocea Patriciei a umplut salonul:<\/p>\n
\u201eCur\u00e2nd va semna. Doctorii spun ce trebuie. C\u00e2teva pic\u0103turi, nimeni nu verific\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Un \u021bip\u0103t a spart lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Patricia a \u00eencercat s\u0103 fug\u0103, dar doi invita\u021bi au oprit-o. Cineva a sunat la poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Matei s-a cuib\u0103rit \u00een bra\u021bele Valeriei, pentru prima dat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103. Nu mai pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
Radu s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it \u00een genunchi \u00een fa\u021ba lor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103\u2026 \u2014 a spus, cu vocea fr\u00e2nt\u0103. \u2014 N-am v\u0103zut. N-am auzit. N-am \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
Valeria l-a privit obosit, dar drept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum \u0219ti\u021bi. \u0218i el nu mai e singur.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, vila nu mai era rece. Era zgomotoas\u0103. Plin\u0103 de r\u00e2sete, de pa\u0219i mici, de miros de m\u00e2ncare g\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Matei vorbea. Mult. Despre mama lui. Despre cer. Despre via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valeria nu mai purta uniform\u0103. Purta o via\u021b\u0103 nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
