Unul dintre ei eram eu.<\/p>\n
Cel\u0103lalt era fratele meu mai mic.<\/p>\n
Maria duce instinctiv m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ochii i se m\u0103resc.<\/p>\n
Respira\u021bia i se opre\u0219te pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Era frig\u2026 \u2014 murmur\u0103 ea. \u2014 Era tare frig \u00een noaptea aia.<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103rul d\u0103 din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u0103rin\u021bii no\u0219tri muriser\u0103 \u00eentr-un accident. Fugiser\u0103m dintr-un centru de plasament. N-aveam unde s\u0103 dormim. Ne-au alungat de peste tot.<\/p>\n
Se ridic\u0103 \u0219i deschide mapa.<\/p>\n
Scoate o fotografie veche, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doi copii slabi, cu haine rupte, stau pe o bordur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria ia fotografia cu m\u00e2ini tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamne\u2026 \u2014 \u0219opte\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile \u00eencep s\u0103-i curg\u0103 pe obraji.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V-am v\u0103zut la geam, \u2014 continu\u0103 el \u2014 \u0219i, de\u0219i \u0219eful \u021bipa la dumneavoastr\u0103, a\u021bi ie\u0219it cu dou\u0103 farfurii de m\u00e2ncare cald\u0103.

Maria se a\u0219az\u0103 greu pe scaun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu era mare lucru\u2026 \u2014 spune ea \u00eencet. \u2014 Era\u021bi doar ni\u0219te copii fl\u0103m\u00e2nzi.<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103rul scoate din plic un teanc de bani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici sunt 50.000 de lei. Pentru dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria \u00eempinge plicul \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pentru asta am f\u0103cut-o.<\/p>\n
El \u00eenghite \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar datorit\u0103 dumneavoastr\u0103 sunt aici. Am ajuns la o familie care m-a crescut. Am muncit. Am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat. Am reu\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Face o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit nu doar cu banii.<\/p>\n
Scoate un dosar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Casa aceasta este acum pe numele dumneavoastr\u0103. Datoriile sunt pl\u0103tite. \u0218i\u2026 \u2014 z\u00e2mbe\u0219te \u2014 v-am aranjat \u0219i o pensie privat\u0103. S\u0103 nu mai fi\u021bi nevoit\u0103 s\u0103 munci\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la epuizare.<\/p>\n
Maria izbucne\u0219te \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Pl\u00e2ns din acela ad\u00e2nc, din piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu doar am f\u0103cut ce-ar fi f\u0103cut orice om\u2026 \u2014 spune printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, \u2014 r\u0103spunde el ferm. \u2014 A\u021bi f\u0103cut ce fac pu\u021bini.<\/p>\n
Se ridic\u0103.<\/p>\n

Maria \u00eel prive\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u00cel \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Afara, vecinii privesc uimi\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Mercedesul negru pleac\u0103 \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 modest\u0103, dintr-un cartier uitat de lume, o fapt\u0103 bun\u0103 f\u0103cut\u0103 c\u00e2ndva se \u00eentoarce, dup\u0103 17 ani, ca o minune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
