C\u00e2nd am ajuns, m-am blocat. \u021aineam minte casa lui tanti Clara ca pe una modest\u0103, cu fa\u021bada scorojit\u0103 \u0219i o gr\u0103din\u0103 ne\u00eengrijit\u0103. Dar ce aveam \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 era complet diferit. Casa era proasp\u0103t v\u0103ruit\u0103 \u00eentr-un galben str\u0103lucitor. Curtea era \u00eengrijit\u0103, plin\u0103 de trandafiri \u0219i flori. Avea un gard nou din lemn \u0219i, cel mai \u0219ocant, o ma\u0219in\u0103 sedan aproape nou\u0103 parcat\u0103 \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde cu m\u00e2na pe volan, uit\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 la casa care nu sem\u0103na deloc cu amintirile mele. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea prea tare pentru un om care venise doar \u201e\u00een vizit\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am cobor\u00e2t \u0219i am intrat pe poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Tanti Clara? \u2014am strigat.<\/p>\n
Din cas\u0103 s-au auzit pa\u0219i. U\u0219a s-a deschis larg.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba mea nu era b\u0103tr\u00e2na slab\u0103 \u0219i coco\u0219at\u0103 pe care o \u0219tiam. Era o femeie \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 bine, cu p\u0103rul aranjat, cu lan\u021b de aur la g\u00e2t. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Dan\u2026? Ce cau\u021bi aici?<\/p>\n
Tonul ei nu era bucuros. Era speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Am venit s\u0103 v\u0103d dac\u0103 sunte\u021bi bine \u2014am spus\u2014. Banca m-a sunat, nu v\u0103 mai merge contul. \u0218i nu v-am putut contacta.<\/p>\n
A ezitat o clip\u0103, apoi a z\u00e2mbit for\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Sunt bine, mul\u021bumesc. Hai, intr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am intrat \u00een cas\u0103. Mobil\u0103 nou\u0103. Televizor mare. Aer condi\u021bionat.<\/p>\n
Fiecare pas m\u0103 lovea ca un pumn.<\/p>\n
\u2014V\u0103d c\u0103\u2026 v-a\u021bi descurcat \u2014am spus, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par calm.<\/p>\n
\u2014Eh\u2026 mai ajut\u0103 Dumnezeu \u2014a murmurat ea.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat la mas\u0103. Mi-am str\u00e2ns curajul.<\/p>\n
\u2014Tanti Clara, banii pe care vi-i trimit\u2026 pentru ce sunt, mai exact?<\/p>\n
Privirea i-a fugit spre geam.<\/p>\n
\u2014Pentru ce s\u0103 fie? Medicamente\u2026 m\u00e2ncare\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00cen fiecare lun\u0103, 300 de lei. Cinci ani \u2014am continuat eu\u2014. Asta \u00eenseamn\u0103 peste 18.000 de lei.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218ti\u021bi ce m-a durut cel mai tare? \u2014am spus \u00eencet\u2014. C\u0103 eu i-am trimis din iubire. Din respect pentru Maria.<\/p>\n
A izbucnit.<\/p>\n
\u2014Bine! \u2014a ridicat vocea\u2014. Vrei adev\u0103rul? L-am folosit \u0219i pentru mine! Am tr\u0103it \u0219i eu, am schimbat casa, mi-am luat ma\u0219in\u0103! Credeai c\u0103 o s\u0103 mor de foame?<\/p>\n
\u2014Dar nu era asta \u00een\u021belegerea \u2014am spus, cu nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014Tu ai vrut! \u2014a strigat\u2014. Tu ai insistat!<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218i Maria? \u2014am \u00eentrebat\u2014. Ce ar spune ea?<\/p>\n
A cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014Maria n-ar fi vrut s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc ca o cer\u0219etoare \u2014a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun nimic. Afar\u0103, aerul mi s-a p\u0103rut mai greu ca niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ma\u0219in\u0103, am stat mult timp f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 pornesc motorul.<\/p>\n
Apoi am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Nu banii m\u0103 dureau.<\/p>\n
Ci faptul c\u0103 \u00eemi ag\u0103\u021basem via\u021ba de o promisiune care nu mai avea sens.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aia, am intrat \u00eentr-o cafenea din sat. Am vorbit cu oameni. Am ascultat pove\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani de zile, n-am mai sim\u021bit vin\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, am sunat la banc\u0103 \u0219i am oprit transferul.<\/p>\n
Nu din r\u0103zbunare.<\/p>\n
Ci din vindecare.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 uneori, ca s\u0103 mergi mai departe, trebuie s\u0103 la\u0219i \u00een urm\u0103 chiar \u0219i lucrurile f\u0103cute din iubire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
