St\u0103tea acolo, cu umerii c\u0103zu\u021bi, sim\u021bind frigul intr\u00e2ndu-i p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een oase, dar mai ales greutatea g\u00e2ndurilor.<\/p>\n
Avea \u00een buzunar doar c\u00e2\u021biva lei, suficien\u021bi c\u00e2t s\u0103 ajung\u0103 acas\u0103 cu autobuzul.<\/p>\n
Se g\u00e2ndea la mama lui, care \u00eel sunase diminea\u021b\u0103 s\u0103-i ureze noroc.<\/p>\n
La vorbele ei simple: \u201eS\u0103 fii om, Andrei, restul vine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci nu le d\u0103duse prea mare importan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Acum \u00eei r\u0103sunau \u00een cap.<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat \u00eencet \u0219i a pornit spre sta\u021bia de autobuz.<\/p>\n
\u00cen jur, ora\u0219ul \u00ee\u0219i vedea de treab\u0103.<\/p>\n
Oamenii alergau, vorbeau la telefon, se pl\u00e2ngeau de ploaie.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu \u0219tia ce se fr\u00e2nsese \u00een el.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd autobuzul a sosit, Andrei a urcat mecanic \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe un scaun din spate.<\/p>\n
Geamul era aburit, iar \u00een reflexia lui a v\u0103zut un t\u00e2n\u0103r obosit, ud \u0219i dezam\u0103git.<\/p>\n
\u201ePoate n-a fost s\u0103 fie\u201d, \u0219i-a spus.<\/p>\n
Telefonul i-a vibrat brusc \u00een buzunar.<\/p>\n
Un num\u0103r necunoscut.<\/p>\n
A ezitat o clip\u0103, apoi a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei Popa? se auzi o voce calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt Ionescu. Ne-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit mai devreme, cu mama mea.<\/p>\n
Andrei a r\u0103mas mut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 mama e bine. Am dus-o la spital la timp. Doctorii spun c\u0103 a fost aproape de un atac de cord.<\/p>\n
Andrei a str\u00e2ns telefonul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 bucur mult\u2026 chiar m\u0103 bucur, a spus sincer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei, a continuat vocea, \u0219ti\u021bi cine sunt?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 adic\u0103\u2026 nu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt directorul general al companiei la care a\u021bi avut interviul.<\/p>\n
Inima i-a s\u0103rit din piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat acolo, a continuat domnul Ionescu. Am aflat c\u0103 a\u021bi \u00eent\u00e2rziat. \u0218i \u0219tiu de ce.<\/p>\n
Andrei a t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La firma mea, a spus b\u0103rbatul rar, pot \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba pe cineva meserie. Dar nu pot \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba pe nimeni s\u0103 fie om.<\/p>\n
Autobuzul s-a oprit, dar Andrei nu a cobor\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 sunte\u021bi de acord, m\u00e2ine diminea\u021b\u0103 v\u0103 a\u0219tept din nou. La ora 9. F\u0103r\u0103 interviu. Cu contractul preg\u0103tit.<\/p>\n
Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc\u2026 mul\u021bumesc mult, a reu\u0219it s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumirea mea e deja pl\u0103tit\u0103, a r\u0103spuns calm domnul Ionescu. Mama mea e \u00een via\u021b\u0103 datorit\u0103 dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Andrei a ajuns devreme.<\/p>\n
Curat, emo\u021bionat, cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2nd tare.<\/p>\n
A semnat contractul pentru un salariu care \u00eei p\u0103rea ireal: 4.500 de lei.<\/p>\n
Dar mai presus de bani, sim\u021bea c\u0103 fusese ales pentru ceva mai mare.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ie\u0219it din cl\u0103dire, soarele str\u0103lucea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Andrei a \u0219tiut sigur:<\/p>\n
c\u00e2nd alegi s\u0103 fii om, via\u021ba nu r\u0103m\u00e2ne datoare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
