Tat\u0103l a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat c\u00e2teva secunde. Cafeaua din ce\u0219cu\u021b\u0103 tremura u\u0219or, de parc\u0103 ar fi sim\u021bit \u0219i ea tensiunea din aer. Ana st\u0103tea cu palmele lipite de gur\u0103, ochii mari, speria\u021bi, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd verdictul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deci\u2026 vine cineva la mama? a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridice vocea.<\/p>\n
Ana a dat din cap, \u00eencet, aproape imperceptibil. Apoi a cobor\u00e2t privirea \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se joace cu linguri\u021ba, lovind u\u0219or marginea cupei de \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu tot timpul\u2026 a \u0219optit ea. Doar din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Tat\u0103l a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept. \u00cen capul lui se amestecau g\u00e2nduri, amintiri, repro\u0219uri nespuse. \u00ce\u0219i amintea serile din apartamentul lor mic, dintr-un cartier lini\u0219tit al Ia\u0219ului, mesele m\u00e2ncate pe fug\u0103, certurile m\u0103runte care deveniser\u0103 mari, t\u0103cerile care dureau mai tare dec\u00e2t orice cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E un om bun? a \u00eentrebat, dup\u0103 o pauz\u0103 lung\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana a ridicat din umeri.
\n\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu. \u00cei aduce mamei flori. \u0218i bomboane. \u0218i mie mi-a adus un ursule\u021b.<\/p>\n
Tat\u0103l a z\u00e2mbit amar. \u0218tia c\u00e2t de pu\u021bin conta asta. Dar \u0219i c\u00e2t de mult.<\/p>\n
A pl\u0103tit nota \u2014 42 de lei \u2014 \u0219i au ie\u0219it afar\u0103. Era o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103 moale, de prim\u0103var\u0103, cu miros de tei \u0219i asfalt cald. Au mers \u00eencet, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2n\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati\u2026 a spus Ana, dup\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i. Tu e\u0219ti sup\u0103rat?<\/p>\n
S-a oprit \u0219i s-a l\u0103sat pe vine \u00een fa\u021ba ei.
\n\u2014 Nu pe tine, puiule. Niciodat\u0103 pe tine.<\/p>\n
A m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat-o pe cap, cu aceea\u0219i grij\u0103 cu care o f\u0103cea c\u00e2nd era mai mic\u0103. Ana s-a lipit de el \u0219i l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, acas\u0103, mama Anei a g\u0103sit-o adormit\u0103 cu ursule\u021bul \u00een bra\u021be. Pe mas\u0103 era felicitarea cu \u201e28\u201d, iar l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, un bile\u021bel scris st\u00e2ngaci:<\/p>\n
\u201eMami, tati o s\u0103 m\u0103 ia vinerea. S\u0103 nu mai pl\u00e2ngi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mama s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun \u0219i a pl\u00e2ns. Dar nu p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103. Doar pu\u021bin. De data asta, cu un z\u00e2mbet printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, tat\u0103l a sunat-o. Au vorbit calm. F\u0103r\u0103 repro\u0219uri. Au stabilit programul, zilele, detaliile m\u0103runte care conteaz\u0103 enorm c\u00e2nd e vorba de un copil.<\/p>\n
Au \u00eenchis telefonul cu un \u201emul\u021bumesc\u201d spus am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile care au urmat, vinerea a devenit ziua lor. Plimb\u0103ri prin parc, covrigi calzi, \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103, pove\u0219ti spuse pe o banc\u0103. Ana \u00eei ar\u0103ta poze cu mama, iar el le privea cu un nod \u00een g\u00e2t, dar f\u0103r\u0103 ur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce a l\u0103sat-o acas\u0103, tat\u0103l s-a dus singur \u00eentr-o cafenea. A comandat o cafea \u0219i s-a uitat pe fereastr\u0103. Nu se mai sim\u021bea gol. Doar\u2026 \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 altfel.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu \u0219i dureros: uneori, dragostea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i. Ci s\u0103 pleci f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 distrugi. S\u0103 la\u0219i loc pentru lini\u0219te. Pentru copil. Pentru via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it din cafenea mai drept. \u0218tia c\u0103 nu e sf\u00e2r\u0219itul. Era doar o alt\u0103 form\u0103 de \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
