Luca a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat \u00eent\u00e2i la u\u0219\u0103. Apoi la omul din fotoliu. Apoi la banii \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tia\u021bi pe podea, ca ni\u0219te frunze uscate dup\u0103 furtun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu s-a mi\u0219cat imediat.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile mici la piept, a\u0219a cum f\u0103cea c\u00e2nd era speriat. \u00cei r\u0103suna \u00een cap vocea mamei. Nu atinge nimic. Dac\u0103 se treze\u0219te, r\u0103m\u00e2nem pe drumuri.<\/p>\n
S-a apropiat \u00eencet, cu pa\u0219i mici, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 calce pe bancnote. S-a aplecat \u0219i le-a privit de aproape. Nu z\u00e2mbea. Nu avea ochii aceia sclipitori pe care Alexandru \u00eei v\u0103zuse la at\u00e2\u021bia adul\u021bi \u00een fa\u021ba banilor.<\/p>\n
A ridicat o bancnot\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alexandru \u0219i-a \u021binut respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Luca a str\u00e2ns-o \u00een pumn\u2026 apoi a pus-o la loc.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenceput s\u0103 adune toate bancnotele, una c\u00e2te una, cu grij\u0103, ca pe ni\u0219te juc\u0103rii fragile. Le-a pus \u00eenapoi \u00een plic. A \u00eendreptat marginile, a \u00eenchis plicul \u0219i l-a ridicat cu ambele m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat din nou la Alexandru.<\/p>\n
\u201eDomnule\u2026\u201d a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Nicio reac\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Copilul s-a uitat \u00een jur. Pe perete era un tablou vechi cu o cas\u0103 de la \u021bar\u0103 \u0219i o biseric\u0103 alb\u0103, cu acoperi\u0219 ro\u0219u. Sub el, o icoan\u0103 mic\u0103, simpl\u0103.<\/p>\n
Luca a mers la birou, a tras un scaun \u0219i s-a urcat pe el. A pus plicul sus, pe mas\u0103, mai departe de margine, ca s\u0103 nu mai cad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a a\u0219ezat la loc pe covor.<\/p>\n
A mai trecut un timp.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Ana s-a \u00eentors, palid\u0103 de team\u0103, l-a g\u0103sit pe Luca st\u00e2nd drept, cu m\u00e2inile \u00een poal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, i-au c\u0103zut banii,\u201d i-a spus \u00eencet. \u201eI-am pus la loc.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ana a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Alexandru a deschis ochii.<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat greu din fotoliu. Ochii \u00eei erau umezi, de\u0219i vocea \u00eei tremura doar pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
\u201eCum te cheam\u0103, b\u0103iete?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eLuca,\u201d a r\u0103spuns copilul.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i de ce nu ai luat banii?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luca a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu erau ai mei. \u0218i mama zice c\u0103 banii care nu-s ai t\u0103i aduc necaz.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen birou s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Alexandru s-a a\u0219ezat din nou, dar parc\u0103 nu mai era acela\u0219i om. Ceva din el, ceva vechi \u0219i \u00eent\u0103rit de ani de ne\u00eencredere, se cr\u0103pase.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, a cerut avocatul.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, \u0219i-a schimbat testamentul.<\/p>\n
Nu i-a l\u0103sat totul copilului. Nu era un basm. Dar a l\u0103sat suficient c\u00e2t Luca s\u0103 aib\u0103 \u0219coal\u0103 bun\u0103, o cas\u0103 sigur\u0103 \u0219i un viitor f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar pe Ana nu a mai l\u0103sat-o niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 munceasc\u0103 \u00een t\u0103cere. A tratat-o ca pe familie.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 zeci de ani, Alexandru Popescu a adormit cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
