Telefonul suna. O dat\u0103. De dou\u0103 ori. De zece ori.<\/p>\n
Nu r\u0103spundea.<\/p>\n
St\u0103team \u00een pat, cu p\u0103tura tras\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la b\u0103rbie, tremur\u00e2nd nu doar de frig, ci \u0219i de sl\u0103biciune. Sob\u0103 aveam, dar nu mai reu\u0219eam s\u0103 m\u0103 ridic s\u0103 pun lemne. Capul \u00eemi ardea, g\u00e2tul m\u0103 durea, iar fiecare respira\u021bie era grea.<\/p>\n
Am mai \u00eencercat o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd, \u00eentr-un final, a r\u0103spuns, vocea lui era iritat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe mai e, mam\u0103? N-ai v\u0103zut ce vreme e?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eSergiu\u2026 mi-e r\u0103u. Am febr\u0103. Nu pot s\u0103 m\u0103 ridic. Te rog, vino p\u00e2n\u0103 la mine\u2026\u201d, am spus \u00eencet, aproape pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
A oftat zgomotos.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, e viscol. Drumul e plin. N-am cum acum. Las\u0103, o s\u0103-\u021bi treac\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eDar n-am medicamente\u2026 n-am m\u00e2ncare g\u0103tit\u0103\u2026\u201d, am \u00eencercat.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u021ai-am adus s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na trecut\u0103\u201d, a spus scurt. \u201eNu mai dramatiza.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i a \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas cu telefonul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, uit\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 la ecranul negru. Atunci am sim\u021bit ceva mai r\u0103u dec\u00e2t boala. Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 sunt singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, febra a crescut. M-am ridicat cu greu s\u0103 beau ap\u0103. Am c\u0103zut pe marginea patului \u0219i am stat a\u0219a mult timp, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tiu dac\u0103 mai am putere s\u0103 m\u0103 ridic.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, vecina mea, tanti Maria, a venit s\u0103 vad\u0103 dac\u0103 sunt bine. Nu m\u0103 mai v\u0103zuse ie\u0219ind din curte.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, s-a speriat.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamne, femeie, arzi! De ce n-ai sunat la ambulan\u021b\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n
I-am spus tot. Despre bani. Despre Sergiu. Despre cum nu vine.<\/p>\n
Tanti Maria a scos telefonul \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe, a sunat-o pe fiica mea cea mare, Ana, care st\u0103 \u00een Italia.<\/p>\n
Seara, Ana m-a sunat pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103\u2026 ce bani? Ce medicamente?\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci i-am spus adev\u0103rul. C\u0103 \u0219tiam c\u0103 trimit bani. C\u0103 Sergiu se ocup\u0103 de mine. Sau a\u0219a credeam.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, ceilal\u021bi copii m-au sunat unul c\u00e2te unul. Fiecare trimitea lunar bani. Pentru mine. Pentru traiul meu.<\/p>\n
Sergiu lua tot.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, Ana a venit acas\u0103. Cu avionul, cu trenul, cum a putut. A intrat \u00een casa mea cu lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
A deschis dulapurile. Frigiderul. Sertarele.<\/p>\n
Pu\u021bin. Foarte pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde sunt banii?\u201d l-a \u00eentrebat direct pe fratele ei, c\u00e2nd a venit \u0219i el, chemat de noi.<\/p>\n
Sergiu a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se b\u00e2lb\u00e2ie. C\u0103 a fost greu. C\u0103 a avut cheltuieli. C\u0103 urma s\u0103-mi cumpere ce-mi trebuie.<\/p>\n
Dar adev\u0103rul a ie\u0219it repede la iveal\u0103. Ma\u0219in\u0103 nou\u0103. Telefon scump. Ie\u0219iri. Toate pe banii mei.<\/p>\n
Pe banii trimi\u0219i pentru mama lor.<\/p>\n
A fost prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd l-am v\u0103zut pe Sergiu cu capul \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Ana a vorbit cu un notar. Cu un asistent social. Cu un avocat.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o lun\u0103, lucrurile s-au schimbat.<\/p>\n
Pensia mea a fost mutat\u0103 pe un card la mine. Banii de la copii vin direct la mine. Cheile de la cas\u0103 sunt doar la mine \u0219i la tanti Maria.<\/p>\n
Sergiu nu mai gestioneaz\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Nu l-am dat afar\u0103 din via\u021ba mea. Dar i-am luat puterea de a-mi face r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Acum, iarna e tot grea. Satul e tot mic. B\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021bea e tot b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021be.<\/p>\n
Dar nu mai sunt neajutorat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103 \u00eemi fac ceaiul. \u00cemi iau pastilele. Vorbesc cu copiii mei la telefon. R\u00e2dem. Ne cert\u0103m pu\u021bin. Tr\u0103im.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u0219tiu un lucru clar: nu e ru\u0219inos s\u0103 ceri ajutor. Ru\u0219inos e s\u0103 profi\u021bi de un p\u0103rinte care nu mai are putere s\u0103 se apere.<\/p>\n
Iar eu, chiar \u0219i la v\u00e2rsta mea, am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat asta la timp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
