Dan se apropie \u00eencet. Sub prelate, pe o p\u0103tur\u0103 sub\u021bire, z\u0103cea o femeie t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, cu fa\u021ba ars\u0103 de febr\u0103 \u0219i buzele vine\u021bii. Respira sacadat, ca \u0219i cum fiecare gur\u0103 de aer era o lupt\u0103. Ochii \u00eei erau \u00eentredeschi\u0219i, dar nu p\u0103reau s\u0103 vad\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 am adus pe cineva\u2026 \u2014 \u0219opti Matei, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dan se l\u0103s\u0103 \u00een genunchi l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea. \u00cei atinse fruntea. Era fierbinte, de parc\u0103 ardea. Nu era medic, dar \u0219tia destul c\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 c\u0103 situa\u021bia era grav\u0103.<\/p>\n
Scoase telefonul \u0219i sun\u0103 la ambulan\u021b\u0103. Vocea de la cap\u0103tul firului \u00eei ceru detalii. Le d\u0103du clar, ap\u0103sat, f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, nu negocia nimic. Nu calcula. Doar cerea ajutor.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 vin\u0103 salvarea, \u00ee\u0219i scoase sacoul scump \u0219i \u00eel puse peste femeie. Matei \u00eel privea cu ochi mari, ne\u00eencrez\u0103tori.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 fie bine? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 copilul.<\/p>\n
Dan nu min\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Facem tot ce se poate.<\/p>\n
Ambulan\u021ba veni cu sirena pornit\u0103. Paramedicii o ridicar\u0103 pe targ\u0103, o legar\u0103 la aparate, \u00eei puser\u0103 oxigen. Matei se ag\u0103\u021b\u0103 de m\u00e2na mamei, pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd \u00een hohote.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vin \u0219i eu cu voi \u2014 spuse Dan simplu.<\/p>\n
La spital, orele trecur\u0103 greu. Matei adormi cu capul pe genunchii lui Dan, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd ma\u0219inu\u021ba albastr\u0103. Dan st\u0103tea nemi\u0219cat, cu g\u00e2ndurile \u00een noduri. Se g\u00e2ndea la mama lui. La ultima conversa\u021bie. La toate momentele c\u00e2nd alesese munca \u00een locul oamenilor.<\/p>\n
Doctorul ie\u0219i \u00een cele din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A ajuns la timp. Pneumonie sever\u0103. \u00cenc\u0103 pu\u021bin \u0219i era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Dan sim\u021bi cum i se \u00eenmoaie picioarele.<\/p>\n
Femeia supravie\u021bui. Se numea Ana<\/strong>. R\u0103maser\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 cas\u0103 dup\u0103 ce so\u021bul murise \u00eentr-un accident de munc\u0103. Datorii, chirii nepl\u0103tite, promisiuni goale.<\/p>\n Dan nu le d\u0103du bani \u0219i at\u00e2t. Le g\u0103si o garsonier\u0103 modest\u0103. Pl\u0103ti chiria pe un an. O ajut\u0103 pe Ana s\u0103 se angajeze la unul dintre restaurantele lui. \u00cel \u00eenscrise pe Matei la gr\u0103dini\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n Dar cel mai important lucru nu a fost ce le-a oferit lor.<\/p>\n Ci ce a primit el.<\/p>\n \u00cen fiecare sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd Matei \u00eei spunea \u201enoapte bun\u0103, nene Dan\u201d, ceva din pieptul lui se vindeca. \u00cencet. Adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n Pentru prima dat\u0103, Dan Popescu dormea f\u0103r\u0103 ap\u0103sare. Pentru prima dat\u0103, succesul avea gust.
