Bastonul a lovit u\u0219or podeaua de lemn.
Un singur sunet. Sec.
Clara a \u00eenchis ochii, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd ce era mai r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Constantin s-a ridicat \u00eencet din fotoliu. Nu p\u0103rea furios. Nu p\u0103rea nici m\u0103car deranjat.
P\u0103rea\u2026 obosit.<\/p>\n
A luat ma\u0219inu\u021ba din m\u00e2na copilului.
A \u00eentors-o pe toate p\u0103r\u021bile, atent, ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost ceva fragil \u0219i pre\u021bios.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii \u2014 a spus el, dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva clipe \u2014 c\u00e2nd eram mic, n-am avut juc\u0103rii.
\u2014 Tata muncea pe \u0219antier, mama sp\u0103la sc\u0103ri.
\u2014 Ce aveam, \u00eemp\u0103r\u021beam cu fra\u021bii mei.<\/p>\n
Clara a deschis ochii, surprins\u0103.
Nu-l mai auzise niciodat\u0103 vorbind a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Constantin a pus ma\u0219inu\u021ba pe mas\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 plicul cu bani.
Apoi a \u00eempins plicul spre Clara.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Banii nu sunt o capcan\u0103 pentru tine \u2014 a spus calm.
\u2014 Au fost pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Clara a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021beleg\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103d ce fel de oameni intr\u0103 \u00een casa mea \u2014 a continuat el.
\u2014 Am bani. Case. Ma\u0219ini.
\u2014 Dar nu mai \u0219tiam dac\u0103 mai exist\u0103 oameni care s\u0103 pun\u0103 un om \u00eenaintea banilor.<\/p>\n
S-a aplecat spre Andrei.
\u2014 De ce mi-ai pus geaca pe picioare?<\/p>\n
Copilul a ridicat din umeri.
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 tremura\u021bi\u2026 \u0219i mama zice c\u0103 dac\u0103 vezi pe cineva c\u0103-i e greu, \u00eel aju\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui Constantin s-au umezit. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fotoliul \u2014 a spus el \u2014 nu se repar\u0103.
\u2014 Se schimb\u0103.<\/p>\n
Clara a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns, dar nu de fric\u0103. De u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 ceva \u2014 a ad\u0103ugat el, ridic\u00e2nd plicul.
\u2014 Banii \u0103\u0219tia sunt ai t\u0103i.
\u2014 Avans pe salariu. \u0218i o prim\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 eu\u2026 \u2014 b\u00e2igui Clara.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O mam\u0103 care cre\u0219te un copil ca acesta valoreaz\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t orice catifea \u2014 a spus el ferm.
\u2014 Iar tu \u2014 i s-a adresat lui Andrei \u2014 ai un suflet mare.<\/p>\n
S-a dus spre bibliotec\u0103 \u0219i a scos o ram\u0103 veche cu o fotografie.
Un b\u0103ie\u021bel slab, cu genunchii juli\u021bi, \u021bin\u00e2nd o ma\u0219inu\u021b\u0103 aproape identic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Era a mea \u2014 a \u0219optit Constantin.
\u2014 Am pierdut-o c\u00e2nd am pierdut \u0219i copil\u0103ria.<\/p>\n
A pus fotografia l\u00e2ng\u0103 ma\u0219inu\u021ba lui Andrei.
\u2014 Unele lucruri se \u00eentorc c\u00e2nd nu te mai a\u0219tep\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aceea, Clara n-a fost concediat\u0103.
A fost angajat\u0103 cu contract, salariu bun \u0219i program stabil.
Andrei a primit o burs\u0103 pl\u0103tit\u0103 de Constantin, \u201ep\u00e2n\u0103 termin\u0103 \u0219coala\u201d.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul milionar \u00eel a\u0219tepta \u00een bibliotec\u0103.
Nu ca s\u0103 fie servit.
Ci ca s\u0103-i asculte pove\u0219tile.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103, uneori, cea mai mare avere nu e \u00een conturi.
Ci \u00eentr-o geac\u0103 ud\u0103, o ma\u0219inu\u021b\u0103 stricat\u0103 \u0219i un copil care \u0219tie ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii om.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
