A tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept, de parc\u0103 urma s\u0103 sar\u0103 \u00eentr-o ap\u0103 rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La festivitate\u2026 o s\u0103 port o c\u0103ma\u0219\u0103 ro\u0219ie.<\/p>\n
Am clipit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i? am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 z\u00e2mbesc. \u0218tii c\u0103 nu conteaz\u0103 culoarea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a mu\u0219cat buza.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba conteaz\u0103. Mult.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u0219tiut. Nu ce urma s\u0103-mi spun\u0103, dar c\u0103 era ceva serios, ceva care \u00eel ap\u0103sa de mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei, po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui orice, i-am spus.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat la mas\u0103, cu umerii aduna\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Anul \u0103sta, la \u0219coal\u0103\u2026 un coleg de-al meu, Radu, n-a mai venit dup\u0103 vacan\u021ba de iarn\u0103. Lumea a zis c\u0103 s-a mutat. Dar nu era adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Vocea i s-a sub\u021biat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l lui \u00eel b\u0103tea. R\u0103u. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, Radu a fugit de acas\u0103 doar cu ce avea pe el.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A dormit pe unde a apucat. La un moment dat\u2026 a vrut s\u0103 renun\u021be de tot.<\/p>\n
Andrei a ridicat privirea spre mine, iar \u00een ochii lui era o maturitate care m-a durut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 L-am g\u0103sit la timp. \u0218i n-am spus nim\u0103nui. Mi-a fost fric\u0103 s\u0103 nu-l trimit \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i c\u0103ma\u0219a ro\u0219ie? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E pentru el. \u0218i pentru al\u021bii ca el. Ro\u0219ul \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 violen\u021ba din familie nu e ceva ce trebuie ascuns sub pre\u0219.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se umezesc ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Directorul nu e de acord. Nici mul\u021bi profesori. Au spus c\u0103 stric\u0103m imaginea \u0219colii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar tu?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 imaginea e mai important\u0103 dec\u00e2t copiii, atunci imaginea e deja stricat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua absolvirii, sala era plin\u0103. P\u0103rin\u021bi, profesori, flori, aplauze. To\u021bi elevii purtau alb \u0219i albastru.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Andrei a intrat, \u00een c\u0103ma\u0219a lui ro\u0219ie simpl\u0103, s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u0218oapte. Priviri. Unii au str\u00e2mbat din nas. Al\u021bii au \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
A mers drept, cu capul sus.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd i-a venit r\u00e2ndul s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, directorul a ezitat. Apoi i-a dat microfonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu sunt aici s\u0103 stric o s\u0103rb\u0103toare, a spus Andrei. Sunt aici s\u0103 spun c\u0103, printre noi, sunt copii care tr\u0103iesc cu frica \u00een cas\u0103. \u0218i c\u0103 t\u0103cerea noastr\u0103 \u00eei r\u0103ne\u0219te mai tare dec\u00e2t orice palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sala era mut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Curajul nu e gratis. Cost\u0103 prietenii. Cost\u0103 lini\u0219tea. Cost\u0103 aplauzele. Dar uneori, costul e singurul lucru care merit\u0103 pl\u0103tit.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a terminat, nimeni n-a aplaudat imediat.<\/p>\n
Apoi, cineva din spate s-a ridicat. O mam\u0103. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 una. Apoi toat\u0103 sala.<\/p>\n
L-am privit cu lacrimi pe obraji, \u00een\u021beleg\u00e2nd, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 nu l-am crescut doar s\u0103 supravie\u021buiasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
L-am crescut s\u0103 schimbe ceva.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een acea zi, fiul meu n-a absolvit doar un liceu.<\/p>\n
A absolvit frica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
