\u201eM-a mu\u0219cat pe Andrei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenmoaie genunchii.<\/p>\n
Nu \u201em-a lovit\u201d.
Nu \u201ene-am certat\u201d.
Ci \u201em-a mu\u0219cat pe Andrei\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am clipit des, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg. Andrei. B\u0103ie\u021belul din clasa paralel\u0103. Cel mic, sl\u0103bu\u021b, cu ochelari mari \u0219i ghiozdan mai mare dec\u00e2t el. Copilul care st\u0103tea mereu singur \u00een curtea \u0219colii.<\/p>\n
\u201eCum adic\u0103 l-a mu\u0219cat?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec. Pentru prima dat\u0103, privirea i s-a mai \u00eenmuiat.
\u201eDe m\u00e2n\u0103. Tare. \u0218i nu-i mai d\u0103dea drumul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci am observat. Bandajul de pe m\u00e2na ei nu era de la lovitur\u0103. Era de la mu\u0219c\u0103tur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria a continuat, cu voce joas\u0103, dar sigur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eRare\u0219 \u00eel \u021binea lipit de gard. \u00cei spunea s\u0103 tac\u0103. Andrei pl\u00e2ngea. Nimeni nu f\u0103cea nimic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
Curtea \u0219colii. La pr\u00e2nz. Plin\u0103 de copii.
\u0218i nimeni nu f\u0103cea nimic.<\/p>\n
\u201eI-am zis s\u0103-l lase\u201d, a spus ea. \u201eA r\u00e2s. A zis c\u0103 sunt prea mic\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut o secund\u0103.
\u201eAtunci l-am lovit cu ghiozdanul. A c\u0103zut. \u0218i c\u00e2nd s-a ridicat\u2026 l-a mu\u0219cat din nou.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci, Maria a f\u0103cut singurul lucru pe care l-a putut face un copil de \u0219apte ani.<\/p>\n
\u201eI-am dat un pumn. Cu toat\u0103 puterea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n
Nu-mi crescusem copilul s\u0103 loveasc\u0103.
Dar o crescusem s\u0103 nu \u00eentoarc\u0103 privirea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ie\u0219it din cabinet, am cerut s\u0103 vorbesc din nou cu poli\u021bistul \u0219i cu directorul. Am cerut camerele de supraveghere din curte. Am cerut martori.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput, oftaturi. Ridic\u0103ri din umeri.
Apoi \u2014 lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Pe filmare se vedea clar. Rare\u0219 \u00eel \u021binea pe Andrei. Al\u021bi copii se uitau. Se r\u00e2dea. Maria se apropia. Vorbea. \u00cencerca s\u0103-l trag\u0103. Apoi \u2014 reac\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u00cen jum\u0103tate de or\u0103, tonul s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rin\u021bii lui Rare\u0219 au devenit brusc mai t\u0103cu\u021bi.
Avocatul lor a \u00eenchis dosarul.<\/p>\n
Pl\u00e2ngerea penal\u0103 s-a evaporat.
Procesul civil n-a mai fost pomenit.<\/p>\n
Dar partea cea mai nea\u0219teptat\u0103 a venit mai t\u00e2rziu, la spital.<\/p>\n
Chirurgul maxilo-facial, un b\u0103rbat trecut de cincizeci de ani, a ie\u0219it din sala de opera\u021bii. S-a uitat la Maria. A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u201eTu e\u0219ti?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Maria a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tii cine sunt eu?\u201d, a spus el. \u201eAm fost ca Andrei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ne-am uitat to\u021bi la el.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen clasa a doua, nimeni nu m-a ap\u0103rat. Pe tine n-o s\u0103 te uit.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a aplecat u\u0219or \u0219i i-a \u00eentins un pix.
\u201e\u00cemi dai un autograf?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aia, Maria a adormit cu m\u00e2na bandajat\u0103 \u0219i cu lumina aprins\u0103, ca de obicei.<\/p>\n
Dar eu \u0219tiam ceva ce n-o s\u0103 mai uit niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Curajul nu \u021bine de m\u0103rime.
\u0218i uneori, un copil mic poate face ce adul\u021bii n-au avut curajul s\u0103 fac\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
