Din cap\u0103tul pie\u021bei s-a auzit un glas puternic:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Opre\u0219te-te imediat!<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul s-a \u00eentors nervos. Un domn trecut de cincizeci de ani, \u00eembr\u0103cat simplu, dar \u00eengrijit, se apropia hot\u0103r\u00e2t. \u00cen urma lui veneau doi jandarmi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce problem\u0103 ave\u021bi? a morm\u0103it b\u0103rbatul la costum.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Problema este c\u0103 umili\u021bi un om \u0219i distruge\u021bi munca lui, a spus calm b\u0103rbatul.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na st\u0103tea jos, cu genunchii juli\u021bi, tremur\u00e2nd. Cineva i-a pus o m\u00e2n\u0103 pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunte\u021bi bine, tanti Maria? a \u00eentrebat cineva din pia\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
La auzul numelui ei, b\u0103rbatul la costum a ridicat spr\u00e2nceana, dar nu a dat importan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule, a intervenit unul dintre jandarmi, avem martori. A\u021bi \u00eempins-o \u0219i i-a\u021bi distrus marfa.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exagera\u021bi. Am doar\u2026 mi-am exprimat p\u0103rerea.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul simplu s-a apropiat de lada r\u0103sturnat\u0103, s-a uitat la legumele strivite \u0219i apoi la b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi cine este aceast\u0103 femeie?<\/p>\n
\u2014 O v\u00e2nz\u0103toare oarecare, a r\u0103spuns dispre\u021buitor.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Este mama mea.<\/p>\n
Pia\u021ba a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul la costum a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact cum a\u021bi auzit. Mama mea. Eu sunt Ion Marinescu.<\/p>\n
Numele a produs murmure. Mul\u021bi \u00eel cuno\u0219teau. Era proprietarul unei firme mari de construc\u021bii din ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am plecat din sat acum treizeci de ani, a continuat el. Muncesc mult, c\u00e2\u0219tig bine. I-am spus mamei de nenum\u0103rate ori c\u0103 nu trebuie s\u0103 mai vin\u0103 \u00een pia\u021b\u0103. Dar ea nu vrea s\u0103 stea degeaba. Spune c\u0103 munca o \u021bine \u00een via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul la costum a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi ce a\u021bi f\u0103cut azi? a \u00eentrebat Ion, privind drept \u00een ochii lui. A\u021bi distrus nu ni\u0219te legume. A\u021bi distrus munca unei vie\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Jandarmii au f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ve\u021bi pl\u0103ti amenda maxim\u0103, a spus unul dintre ei. \u0218i daunele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t? a \u00eentrebat b\u0103rbatul, deja palid.<\/p>\n
Ion s-a uitat la mama lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, c\u00e2t ai pierdut azi?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreo 300 de lei\u2026 a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
Ion a cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Gre\u0219it. A\u021bi pierdut demnitate, respect \u0219i lini\u0219te. Asta nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een lei.<\/p>\n
S-a \u00eentors spre b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ve\u021bi pl\u0103ti 10.000 de lei. Jum\u0103tate merg la mama mea. Jum\u0103tate la un centru de b\u0103tr\u00e2ni din ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 nu e legal!<\/p>\n
Ion a z\u00e2mbit rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci mergem mai departe. Pl\u00e2ngere penal\u0103. Martori sunt destui.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a cedat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pl\u0103tesc.<\/p>\n
A scos cardul cu m\u00e2na tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce totul s-a terminat, Ion \u0219i-a ajutat mama s\u0103 se ridice.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai acas\u0103, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea l-a privit cu ochii \u00een lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuia s\u0103 vii\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da. Trebuia s\u0103 vad\u0103 toat\u0103 lumea c\u0103 nimeni nu are voie s\u0103 calce \u00een picioare un om cinstit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, povestea s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit prin tot ora\u0219ul. Oamenii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 cumpere \u0219i mai mult de la b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103. Unii \u00eei l\u0103sau bani \u00een plus, al\u021bii doar o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219au.<\/p>\n
Iar b\u0103rbatul \u00een costum?<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, firma la care lucra a fost implicat\u0103 \u00eentr-un scandal public. A fost concediat.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103, mai devreme sau mai t\u00e2rziu, lipsa de omenie se pl\u0103te\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u00centotdeauna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
