\u2026\u0219i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu s-a gr\u0103bit s\u0103 plece.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas acolo, l\u00e2ng\u0103 morm\u00e2nt, mult dup\u0103 ce cea\u021ba s-a mai risipit. Mintea \u00eei era un haos. Lilia. Copii. Gemene. Un secret at\u00e2t de mare \u00eenc\u00e2t nici m\u0103car moartea nu-l \u021binuse ascuns.<\/p>\n
\u00cen drum spre cas\u0103, nu a pornit radioul. Avea nevoie de lini\u0219te. Sau poate de curaj. \u00cen seara aceea, a cobor\u00e2t \u00een biroul de la subsol, unde \u021binea cutii vechi, acte, caiete de schi\u021be \u0219i lucruri pe care nu le mai deschisese de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o cutie de pantofi, sub ni\u0219te fotografii \u00eeng\u0103lbenite, a g\u0103sit un carnet mic, cu copert\u0103 albastr\u0103. Scrisul Liliei. L-a recunoscut imediat.<\/p>\n
A citit p\u00e2n\u0103 t\u00e2rziu \u00een noapte.<\/p>\n
Lilia lucrase, \u00een secret, ca voluntar la un centru pentru copii abandona\u021bi dintr-un sat de l\u00e2ng\u0103 Dorohoi. Acolo le cunoscuse pe gemene. Maria \u0219i Ana. Mama lor murise, tat\u0103l disp\u0103ruse. Dou\u0103 suflete mici, uitate de to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Lilia le vizita, le aducea haine, dulciuri, le citea pove\u0219ti. Le spunea \u201efetele mele\u201d. \u00cen carnet scria despre teama ei cea mai mare: c\u0103 Alexandru nu ar fi \u00een\u021beles. C\u0103 ar fi crezut c\u0103 vrea copii acum, c\u00e2nd medicii \u00eei spuseser\u0103 clar c\u0103 nu mai poate avea.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 mi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva\u201d, scria ea, \u201ele-am spus fetelor s\u0103 vin\u0103 la mine. M\u0103car acolo le voi auzi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexandru a pl\u00e2ns \u00een t\u0103cere. Cu capul \u00een m\u00e2ini. Cu o durere pe care banii, casele \u0219i succesul nu o puteau alina.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, a mers la prim\u0103rie. Apoi la direc\u021bia de asisten\u021b\u0103 social\u0103. Nu a fost u\u0219or. Acte, explica\u021bii, priviri suspicioase. Dar nu s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Le-a g\u0103sit \u00eentr-un centru supraaglomerat. Sub\u021biri. T\u0103cute. C\u00e2nd l-au v\u0103zut, au \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u021bi venit de la mama? a \u00eentrebat Ana.<\/p>\n
Alexandru s-a aplecat la nivelul lor.
\u2014 Da. \u0218i mi-a spus s\u0103 nu v\u0103 mai las niciodat\u0103 singure.<\/p>\n
Procedurile au durat luni. Avoca\u021bi. H\u00e2rtii. Taxe. Dar \u00eentr-o zi, gemenele au intrat \u00een casa lui mare \u0219i goal\u0103, cu ghiozdane ieftine \u0219i pantofi uza\u021bi.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput, st\u0103teau cumin\u021bi pe marginea canapelei. Nu cereau nimic. Se speriau de lini\u0219te. De spa\u021biu. De abunden\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 g\u0103teasc\u0103 m\u0103m\u0103lig\u0103. S\u0103 lege \u0219ireturile. S\u0103 explice de ce nu to\u021bi oamenii pleac\u0103. A cheltuit bani f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite la sume \u2014 lei, mii, zeci de mii \u2014 dar pentru prima dat\u0103 nu a sim\u021bit c\u0103 pierde ceva. Sim\u021bea c\u0103 recupereaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, au mers \u00eempreun\u0103 la cimitir. Feti\u021bele au pus flori de c\u00e2mp la morm\u00e2nt. Au z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama ar fi fost fericit\u0103, a spus Maria.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eencuviin\u021bat. \u0218tia asta.<\/p>\n
Ani mai t\u00e2rziu, lumea \u00eel \u0219tia ca pe \u201emilionarul care a adoptat dou\u0103 gemene\u201d. Dar pentru el, titlurile nu mai contau.<\/p>\n
Conta doar seara, c\u00e2nd dou\u0103 voci \u00eel strigau din camera lor:
\u2014 Tata, ne spui o poveste?<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci \u00een\u021belegea, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 Lilia nu plecase niciodat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
