Dan s-a urcat \u00eenapoi \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic. \u0218oferul l-a privit scurt \u00een oglind\u0103, dar n-a \u00eentrebat nimic. Ma\u0219ina a pornit, iar ora\u0219ul a \u00eenceput s\u0103 curg\u0103 din nou pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Dan n-a mers la birou. N-a r\u0103spuns la telefoane. N-a deschis laptopul. A stat pe canapea, cu sacoul ud aruncat pe sp\u0103tar, privind \u00een gol.<\/p>\n
Inelul.<\/p>\n
Cecilia.<\/p>\n
Coinciden\u021bele nu erau stilul lui. \u00cen afaceri, nimic nu era \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor. Nici \u00een via\u021b\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103dea seama acum.<\/p>\n
A scos din portofel o fotografie veche, \u00eendoit\u0103 la col\u021buri. Ana, z\u00e2mbind timid, \u00eentr-o buc\u0103t\u0103rie mic\u0103 de bloc. Cu m\u00e2na pe burt\u0103. Cu inelul pe deget.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamne\u2026 a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 escort\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 \u0219ofer, Dan a mers pe jos prin cartierul vechi. A c\u0103utat-o pe Cecilia. A \u00eentrebat la brut\u0103ria de la col\u021b, la chio\u0219c, la o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 care vindea p\u0103trunjel.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, o \u0219tim, a spus femeia. Fata Anei. Stau sus, pe strada T\u00e2mplarilor. Greu o duc\u2026<\/p>\n
Strada era \u00eengust\u0103, cu case vechi, scorojite. La o poart\u0103 de lemn, Dan s-a oprit. A b\u0103tut.<\/p>\n
A deschis o femeie slab\u0103, cu fa\u021ba obosit\u0103, dar cu aceia\u0219i ochi pe care nu-i uitase niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, niciunul n-a scos un sunet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dan\u2026 a spus ea \u00een cele din urm\u0103, cu vocea fr\u00e2nt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu era furie. Nu era \u0219oc. Doar o oboseal\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce n-ai spus nimic? a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Ana a l\u0103sat privirea \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a fost fric\u0103. N-aveam nimic. Tu aveai totul. N-am vrut s\u0103-\u021bi stric via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-ai rupt-o, a spus Dan simplu.<\/p>\n
Cecilia a ap\u0103rut \u00een u\u0219\u0103, cu ochii mari.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103?<\/p>\n
Dan s-a l\u0103sat pe vine, la nivelul ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cecilia\u2026 eu sunt\u2026 a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec. Sunt tat\u0103l t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea a fost grea, dar nu dureroas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiam, a spus fata dup\u0103 un timp. Mama mi-a spus adev\u0103rul c\u00e2nd am \u00eemplinit paisprezece ani. Mi-a dat inelul. A zis c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi o s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u0103se\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui Dan s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen lunile care au urmat, nimic n-a fost u\u0219or. Dar a fost real. Dan n-a cump\u0103rat t\u0103ceri \u0219i nici iertare cu bani. A cump\u0103rat timp. Prezen\u021b\u0103. R\u0103bdare.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a \u00eentors la \u0219coal\u0103. Cecilia n-a mai v\u00e2ndut p\u00e2ine pe ploaie, dar a p\u0103strat co\u0219ul. Ca amintire.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, st\u0103teau to\u021bi trei la mas\u0103, cu ciorb\u0103 fierbinte \u0219i p\u00e2ine cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
Simplu.<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Dan s-a uitat la fiica lui \u0219i a \u0219tiut, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 unele imperii nu se construiesc din cl\u0103diri sau bani.<\/p>\n
Ci din oameni care se reg\u0103sesc.<\/p>\n
\u0218i din iubiri care nu se pierd, chiar dac\u0103 au fost t\u0103cute ani la r\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
