\u2014 Pentru c\u0103\u2026 nu mai aveam loc, a spus ea \u00eencet, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l priveasc\u0103. Casa e mic\u0103. \u0218i\u2026 mama ta ne aduce numai ghinion.<\/p>\n
Ion a sim\u021bit cum i se urc\u0103 s\u00e2ngele \u00een cap. A r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat, cu m\u00e2inile str\u00e2nse \u00een pumni. Nu \u021bipa. Nu lovea. T\u0103cerea lui era mai grea dec\u00e2t orice palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ghinion? a \u00eentrebat \u00eencet. Ghinion c\u0103 am trimis bani lun\u0103 de lun\u0103? Ghinion c\u0103 am muncit ca un c\u00e2ine pe front? Sau ghinion c\u0103 mama m-a crescut singur\u0103, cu palmele cr\u0103pate \u0219i burta goal\u0103?<\/p>\n
Maria a ridicat din umeri.
\n\u2014 E b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103. Tu nu vezi? Tu nu e\u0219ti aici. Eu sunt. Eu muncesc. Ea m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103, se pl\u00e2nge, se roag\u0103 toat\u0103 ziua\u2026 M-am s\u0103turat.<\/p>\n
Ion s-a \u00eentors \u0219i a ie\u0219it din cas\u0103. A mers direct la \u0219ur\u0103. \u0218i-a dat jos haina militar\u0103 \u0219i a pus-o peste umerii mamei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, hai \u00een cas\u0103, a spus simplu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, fiule\u2026 o s\u0103 fie mai r\u0103u\u2026 a \u0219optit ea, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Ion a ridicat-o \u00een bra\u021be. Era u\u0219oar\u0103 ca un copil. Prea u\u0219oar\u0103. A sim\u021bit cum ceva i se rupe definitiv \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
A dus-o \u00een cas\u0103 \u0219i a a\u0219ezat-o pe patul mare din dormitor. Maria a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici nu, Ion\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici, a spus el scurt. Aici e casa mea. \u0218i casa ei.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Ion a mers la medic. Apoi la prim\u0103rie. Apoi la banc\u0103. A scos ultimii bani economisi\u021bi \u2014 dou\u0103zeci de mii de lei. Nu erau mul\u021bi, dar erau suficien\u021bi pentru un nou \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i zi, Maria \u0219i-a f\u0103cut bagajele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc? a \u00eentrebat ea, cu o voce deja victimizat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde vrei. Dar nu aici.<\/p>\n
Nu a \u021bipat. Nu a \u00eenjurat. A deschis u\u0219a \u0219i a a\u0219teptat. Maria a plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Au urmat luni grele. Ion muncea cu ziua prin sat. Repara garduri, t\u0103ia lemne, c\u0103ra saci. Mama st\u0103tea la soare, pe banc\u0103, \u0219i \u00eempletea ciorapi. Vecinii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vin\u0103. Cu o oal\u0103 de m\u00e2ncare. Cu o vorb\u0103 bun\u0103. Cu respect.<\/p>\n
\u2014 B\u0103iat cum rar mai vezi, spuneau oamenii.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 de toamn\u0103, Ion a stat pe prisp\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 mama lui. Cerul era plin de stele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, iart\u0103-m\u0103 c\u0103 nu am \u0219tiut, a spus el \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Ea i-a m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat m\u00e2na.
\n\u2014 Important e c\u0103 ai venit.<\/p>\n
Prim\u0103vara urm\u0103toare, casa a fost v\u0103ruit\u0103. \u0218ura a fost d\u0103r\u00e2mat\u0103. \u00cen locul ei a ap\u0103rut o gr\u0103din\u0103 mic\u0103, cu ceap\u0103, ro\u0219ii \u0219i flori.<\/p>\n
Ion nu s-a mai \u00eentors niciodat\u0103 pe front. A r\u0103mas acas\u0103. A ales s\u0103 lupte altfel. Pentru demnitate. Pentru s\u00e2ngele lui. Pentru adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd mama lui z\u00e2mbea din prag, \u0219tia un lucru sigur: uneori, adev\u0103rata victorie nu e s\u0103 supravie\u021buie\u0219ti r\u0103zboiului, ci s\u0103-\u021bi salvezi sufletul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
