\u2026\u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 opt ani, i-a str\u00e2ns pe to\u021bi la piept.<\/p>\n
Copiii au r\u0103mas rigizi o clip\u0103, ca \u0219i cum nu \u0219tiau dac\u0103 e voie s\u0103 cread\u0103. Apoi Ana a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns, urmat\u0103 de gemeni. Andrei a stat c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat, lupt\u00e2ndu-se cu el \u00eensu\u0219i, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd \u0219i-a l\u0103sat capul pe um\u0103rul tat\u0103lui s\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Mihai sim\u021bea cum fiecare lacrim\u0103 \u00eei arde pieptul. Nu era doar durere. Era \u0219i vin\u0103. O vin\u0103 care nu era a lui, dar care \u00eel ap\u0103sa ca o piatr\u0103.<\/p>\n
A intrat \u00een cas\u0103. \u00cen\u0103untru mirosea a umezeal\u0103 \u0219i a s\u0103r\u0103cie. O mas\u0103 \u0219ubred\u0103, dou\u0103 scaune diferite, o sob\u0103 veche cu u\u0219a str\u00e2mb\u0103. Pe un raft, c\u00e2teva caiete \u00eendoite \u0219i un creion mic, ros. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu ce tr\u0103i\u021bi? a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai v\u00e2ndem legume\u2026 a spus Ana. \u0218i Andrei mai car\u0103 saci \u00een pia\u021b\u0103. Uneori ne mai d\u0103 tanti Ileana de peste drum o p\u00e2ine.<\/p>\n
Mihai a str\u00e2ns pumnii. Opt ani de zile fusese num\u0103r \u00eentr-o celul\u0103, iar copiii lui crescuser\u0103 fl\u0103m\u00e2nzi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, a aprins soba cu lemne adunate din curte. A f\u0103cut o sup\u0103 simpl\u0103, din ce mai era prin oale. Copiii m\u00e2ncau \u00een t\u0103cere, de parc\u0103 se temeau c\u0103 totul era un vis care se putea termina oric\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Mihai a plecat \u00een sat. S-a dus la prim\u0103rie, cu actele \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. A povestit tot. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 mil\u0103. Doar adev\u0103rul. Asistenta social\u0103 l-a privit lung, apoi a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 v\u0103 ajut\u0103m, a spus ea. Nu va fi u\u0219or, dar nu sunte\u021bi singuri.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile care au urmat, casa a prins via\u021b\u0103. Un vecin a adus ni\u0219te sc\u00e2nduri. Altul a reparat acoperi\u0219ul. Cineva a donat haine. Copiii au mers din nou la \u0219coal\u0103, cu ghiozdane simple, dar curate.<\/p>\n
Mihai muncea din zori p\u00e2n\u0103 seara. T\u0103ia lemne, repara garduri, f\u0103cea orice. C\u00e2nd lua primii bani, \u00eei punea pe mas\u0103 \u0219i spunea:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0102\u0219tia sunt ai no\u0219tri. Cinsti\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Andrei l-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati\u2026 acum chiar o s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i?<\/p>\n
Mihai a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i i-a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mai plec nic\u0103ieri. Oric\u00e2t ar fi de greu.<\/p>\n
Anii pierdu\u021bi nu se mai \u00eentorceau. Dar ceva mult mai important crescuse \u00een locul lor: o familie care, de\u0219i fr\u00e2nt\u0103, se ridica din nou.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 de prim\u0103var\u0103, Mihai a ie\u0219it \u00een curte \u0219i i-a privit pe copii juc\u00e2ndu-se. Casa era \u00eenc\u0103 modest\u0103. Via\u021ba era \u00eenc\u0103 grea. Dar pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, era \u00eentreag\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i asta era tot ce conta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
