Luca s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba catedrei \u0219i a l\u0103sat mopul jos, ca \u0219i cum ar fi l\u0103sat o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103. \u00cen sal\u0103 nu se mai auzea nimic. Nici fo\u0219net de caiet, nici respira\u021bii gr\u0103bite. Studen\u021bii se uitau ba la el, ba la tabl\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi asistat la o glum\u0103 care sc\u0103pase de sub control.<\/p>\n
Amelia s-a apropiat de tabl\u0103. A luat creta din m\u00e2n\u0103 lui Luca \u0219i a ref\u0103cut calculele, unul c\u00e2te unul. Nu se gr\u0103bea. Era atent\u0103, aproape rigid\u0103. Pentru prima dat\u0103, siguran\u021ba ei se cl\u0103tina.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns la final, m\u00e2na i s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E corect\u2026 a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Un murmur a str\u0103b\u0103tut sala. Cineva a sc\u0103pat un \u201enu se poate\u201d. Altul a r\u00e2s scurt, ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor. Luca st\u0103tea drept, cu palmele b\u0103t\u0103torite lipite de pantaloni, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 caute aplauze.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum ai ajuns la solu\u021bie? a \u00eentrebat Amelia, ridic\u00e2nd privirea spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat eu, doamn\u0103 profesoar\u0103, a r\u0103spuns simplu. Tat\u0103l meu f\u0103cea calcule noaptea, pe col\u021bul mesei din buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Eu m\u0103 uitam.<\/p>\n
Amelia l-a privit altfel. Nu ca pe un om de serviciu. Nu ca pe o glum\u0103. Ci ca pe un egal. A \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am spus ce am spus, a rostit ea clar. \u0218i nu-mi retrag cuvintele.<\/p>\n
Studen\u021bii au amu\u021bit complet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar nu aici, nu acum, a continuat ea. Dup\u0103 curs.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, vestea s-a dus prin toat\u0103 facultatea din Bucure\u0219ti. Omul care sp\u0103la pe jos rezolvase ecua\u021bia pe care nimeni nu o \u00een\u021belegea. Unii r\u00e2deau, al\u021bii \u00eel priveau cu respect. Luca \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea treaba ca \u00eenainte. Lua autobuzul 32 diminea\u021ba, m\u00e2nca un covrig de 2 lei la col\u021b \u0219i nu spunea nim\u0103nui nimic \u00een plus.<\/p>\n
Amelia, \u00een schimb, nu mai era aceea\u0219i. \u00cel c\u0103uta din priviri pe holuri. L-a invitat la o cafea. Apoi la alta. Au vorbit despre via\u021b\u0103, despre rate, despre cum e s\u0103 numeri fiecare leu la final de lun\u0103. Despre mame bolnave \u0219i vise am\u00e2nate.<\/p>\n
Luca i-a spus c\u0103 n-a avut bani de facultate. C\u0103 a muncit din prima zi dup\u0103 armat\u0103. C\u0103 matematica a fost singurul lucru care l-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 uite de griji.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 de vineri, la o mas\u0103 mic\u0103, \u00eentr-un restaurant simplu de cartier, Amelia a scos un inel. Nu era scump. Nici extravagant. Dar era sincer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-ai f\u0103cut s\u0103-mi amintesc cine eram \u00eenainte s\u0103-mi fie fric\u0103 s\u0103 gre\u0219esc, i-a spus ea.<\/p>\n
S-au c\u0103s\u0103torit la Starea Civil\u0103, \u00eentr-o zi ploioas\u0103. Colegii au venit mira\u021bi, studen\u021bii au aplaudat, iar portarul le-a \u021binut u\u0219a deschis\u0103 cu un z\u00e2mbet larg.<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2teva luni dup\u0103, Luca a fost angajat ca asistent universitar. Nu pentru c\u0103 era \u201eminunea de pe hol\u201d, ci pentru c\u0103 \u0219tia. Pentru c\u0103 merita.<\/p>\n
Iar Amelia a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva ce nicio ecua\u021bie nu te \u00eenva\u021b\u0103: adev\u0103rata valoare a unui om nu st\u0103 \u00een titulaturi, ci \u00een ce poart\u0103 \u00een minte \u0219i \u00een inim\u0103.<\/p>\n
Au ie\u0219it din cl\u0103dire m\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Ploaia se oprise. \u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, viitorul p\u0103rea simplu, clar \u0219i corect rezolvat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
