Beatrice a \u00eencremenit. M\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau at\u00e2t de tare, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape c\u0103 i-a sc\u0103pat geanta din m\u00e2n\u0103. A tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept, dar lacrimile i-au umplut ochii \u00eenainte s\u0103 poat\u0103 spune ceva.<\/p>\n
\u201eV\u0103 rog\u2026 nu m\u0103 da\u021bi afar\u0103\u201d, a \u0219optit. \u201eAm nevoie de munca asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel a sim\u021bit cum \u00eel str\u00e2nge pieptul. Nu la asta se a\u0219teptase. Nu la fric\u0103. Nu la disperarea aceea crud\u0103, care \u00eei amintea de zilele \u00een care r\u0103m\u0103sese singur, dup\u0103 ce so\u021bia lui murise pe nea\u0219teptate.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu despre asta e vorba\u201d, a spus el mai \u00eencet. \u201eVreau doar s\u0103 \u0219tiu adev\u0103rul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beatrice a l\u0103sat capul \u00een jos. Lacrimile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 cad\u0103 pe dalele din curte. Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, s-a auzit doar respira\u021bia lor.<\/p>\n
\u201eCopilul\u2026 nu e al nim\u0103nui de aici\u201d, a spus ea \u00eentr-un final. \u201eNu e ce crede\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. \u201eAtunci al cui este?\u201d<\/p>\n
Beatrice \u0219i-a \u0219ters fa\u021ba cu dosul m\u00e2inii. \u201eAl so\u021biei dumneavoastr\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut ca un tr\u0103snet.<\/p>\n
Gabriel a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, ca lovit. \u201eCe prostii spui?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu sunt prostii\u201d, a spus ea, cu o voce tremurat\u0103, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103. \u201e\u00cenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103, m-a ajutat. M-a scos dintr-o situa\u021bie ur\u00e2t\u0103. Eram pe strad\u0103, \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103, b\u0103tut\u0103 de fostul meu. Nimeni nu m\u0103 ajuta. Doar ea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel a sim\u021bit cum i se umezesc ochii. \u00ce\u0219i amintea bine c\u00e2t de bun\u0103 fusese Ana. Mereu cu inima deschis\u0103. Mereu gata s\u0103 ajute.<\/p>\n
\u201eEa m-a dus la doctor\u201d, a continuat Beatrice. \u201eMi-a pl\u0103tit analizele. Mi-a spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 nu va mai fi, s\u0103 vin la dumneavoastr\u0103. C\u0103 nu o s\u0103 m\u0103 l\u0103sa\u021bi pe drumuri.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel s-a a\u0219ezat pe banca de l\u00e2ng\u0103 poart\u0103. Picioarele nu-l mai \u021bineau. Lacrimile i-au curs f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le mai poat\u0103 opri.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i unde te duci \u00een fiecare zi?\u201d a \u00eentrebat el, cu vocea spart\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eLa spital\u201d, a spus ea. \u201eCopilul are probleme. Trebuie tratament. Cost\u0103 mult. Aproape 3.000 de lei pe lun\u0103. Am v\u00e2ndut tot ce aveam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel \u0219i-a acoperit fa\u021ba cu palmele. Toat\u0103 furia, toate suspiciunile, toate g\u00e2ndurile negre s-au risipit \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce nu mi-ai spus?\u201d a murmurat.<\/p>\n
\u201eMi-a fost ru\u0219ine\u201d, a spus Beatrice. \u201eNu voiam s\u0103 par o profitoare. Doamna Ana mi-a spus s\u0103 fiu puternic\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel a ridicat privirea spre ea. \u00cen ochii lui nu mai era duritate, ci o durere ad\u00e2nc\u0103, amestecat\u0103 cu recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eCopilul r\u0103m\u00e2ne aici\u201d, a spus ferm. \u201eTu r\u0103m\u00e2i aici. O s\u0103 ne ocup\u0103m de tot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beatrice a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. De data asta, de u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Gabriel a intrat \u00een casa mare, care i se p\u0103ruse goal\u0103 ani la r\u00e2nd, \u0219i pentru prima dat\u0103 a sim\u021bit din nou via\u021b\u0103 \u00een ea. A pus pe mas\u0103 dou\u0103 farfurii. A l\u0103sat o lumin\u0103 aprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u021belegea acum c\u0103 nu pierduse totul. C\u0103 bun\u0103tatea so\u021biei lui tr\u0103ia mai departe. \u00centr-un copil care urma s\u0103 se nasc\u0103. \u00centr-o femeie care avea nevoie de ajutor.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Gabriel a pl\u00e2ns nu doar de durere, ci \u0219i de speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
