M\u00e2inile \u00eemi tremurau at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t a trebuit s\u0103 m\u0103 sprijin de chiuvet\u0103. Baia era mic\u0103, cu faian\u021b\u0103 veche, u\u0219or cr\u0103pat\u0103 pe col\u021buri, ca \u00een multe cl\u0103diri vechi din ora\u0219. Un bec pal p\u00e2lp\u00e2ia deasupra oglinzii.<\/p>\n
Am desf\u0103cut h\u00e2rtia \u00eencet, de parc\u0103 mi-ar fi fost team\u0103 c\u0103, dac\u0103 m\u0103 gr\u0103besc, ceva se va rupe definitiv.<\/p>\n
Scrisul era al lui Grigore. L-a\u0219 fi recunoscut oriunde. Literele lui u\u0219or \u00eenclinate, cu \u201eg\u201d-urile rotunjite \u0219i \u201et\u201d-urile t\u0103iate scurt.<\/p>\n
\u201eMaria,
dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu mai sunt. \u0218i \u00eemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 te-am l\u0103sat singur\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi s-au umplut ochii de lacrimi \u00eenainte s\u0103 pot continua.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm ascuns bile\u021belul aici pentru c\u0103 n-a\u0219 fi avut curajul s\u0103-\u021bi spun \u00een fa\u021b\u0103. Am fost toat\u0103 via\u021ba un om simplu, dar am purtat \u00een mine o team\u0103 mare: c\u0103 n-am f\u0103cut destul pentru tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge pieptul. Grigore, care nu vorbea niciodat\u0103 despre sentimente, care spunea mereu \u201elas\u0103, c\u0103 e bine\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen sertarul de jos din dulap, sub actele vechi, este o plic\u0103. Nu e mult, dar e pentru tine. Banii aceia sunt doar ai t\u0103i. S\u0103-i folose\u0219ti f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ceri voie nim\u0103nui. S\u0103 pleci unde n-ai apucat. S\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii. \u0218tiam exact sertarul. Acolo \u021binea chitan\u021be, garan\u021bii expirate, acte de la Dacie \u0219i o h\u00e2rtie cu o datorie veche de la un prieten, pe care n-o mai ceruse niciodat\u0103 \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu c\u0103 o s\u0103 spui c\u0103 n-ai nevoie de nimic. Dar te rog, pentru mine, s\u0103 faci m\u0103car un lucru doar pentru tine. Eu te-am ales \u00een fiecare zi. Alege-te \u0219i tu acum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva minute bune nemi\u0219cat\u0103. Afar\u0103 se auzea murmurul oamenilor. Via\u021ba continua, chiar \u0219i acolo, l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare, casa mi s-a p\u0103rut uria\u0219\u0103 \u0219i goal\u0103. T\u0103cerea ap\u0103sa mai tare dec\u00e2t pl\u00e2nsul. Seara, am deschis sertarul. Sub un teanc de h\u00e2rtii, am g\u0103sit plicul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru erau 28.000 de lei. Economii puse deoparte, leu cu leu. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe pat \u0219i am r\u00e2s printre lacrimi. Grigore, care spunea mereu c\u0103 \u201en-avem de unde\u201d, reu\u0219ise totu\u0219i s\u0103-mi lase ceva: un \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
\u00cen lunile care au urmat, am f\u0103cut lucruri mici, dar mari pentru mine. Mi-am schimbat frigiderul vechi. Mi-am luat o hain\u0103 bun\u0103 de iarn\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 uit obsesiv la pre\u021b. Am mers singur\u0103 la mare, la Eforie, \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 cu vedere la ap\u0103, \u0219i am stat diminea\u021ba pe balcon, cu cafeaua \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, vorbindu-i \u00een g\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Cel mai important lucru l-am f\u0103cut \u00eentr-o zi de prim\u0103var\u0103. M-am \u00eenscris voluntar la un centru pentru copii r\u0103ma\u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bi. Prima feti\u021b\u0103 care m-a luat de m\u00e2n\u0103 avea ochii mari \u0219i calzi.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Grigore nu-mi l\u0103sase doar ni\u0219te bani. \u00cemi l\u0103sase permisiunea s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc f\u0103r\u0103 vin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, am pus bile\u021belul \u00eentr-o ram\u0103 mic\u0103, pe noptier\u0103. Nu ca s\u0103-mi aminteasc\u0103 de moarte, ci de dragostea lini\u0219tit\u0103, care nu face zgomot, dar r\u0103m\u00e2ne.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 de la nou\u0103sprezece ani, am adormit \u0219tiind c\u0103, de\u0219i sunt singur\u0103, nu sunt abandonat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
