Vocea mi s-a stins dup\u0103 primele r\u00e2nduri.<\/p>\n
\u201eFiule, \u0219tiu c\u0103 azi iar o s\u0103-\u021bi fie foame. Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 g\u0103sesc de lucru, dar n-a mers. P\u00e2inea asta e tot ce am putut aduce. Te iubesc \u0219i te rog s\u0103 nu-\u021bi fie ru\u0219ine. \u00centr-o zi o s\u0103 fie mai bine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen curtea \u0219colii s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te. Nimeni nu mai r\u00e2dea. Unii se uitau la mine, al\u021bii la Toma. Eu sim\u021beam cum obrajii \u00eemi ard, iar stomacul mi se str\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103 continui, dar cuvintele nu mai ie\u0219eau. Pentru prima dat\u0103, \u201egluma\u201d mea nu mai avea gust. Era amar\u0103. Gre\u021boas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Toma \u0219i-a luat p\u00e2inea de jos. A str\u00e2ns-o cu grij\u0103, de parc\u0103 era ceva pre\u021bios. Nu mi-a spus nimic. Nici nu m-a privit. A plecat \u00eencet, cu spatele drept, l\u0103s\u00e2nd \u00een urma lui o lini\u0219te care m\u0103 ap\u0103sa mai tare dec\u00e2t orice pedeaps\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aia n-am mai m\u00e2ncat nimic. Am stat pe o banc\u0103, cu \u0219aorma rece \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, \u0219i n-am fost \u00een stare s\u0103 duc o \u00eembuc\u0103tur\u0103 la gur\u0103. Fiecare mu\u0219c\u0103tur\u0103 mi se p\u0103rea o insult\u0103.<\/p>\n
Seara, acas\u0103, masa era plin\u0103. Friptur\u0103, cartofi, desert. Mama vorbea la telefon, tata se uita la \u0219tiri. Nimeni nu m-a \u00eentrebat cum mi-a fost ziua.<\/p>\n
Am intrat \u00een camer\u0103 \u0219i am pl\u00e2ns. Nu \u0219tiam exact de ce. De ru\u0219ine. De vin\u0103. De golul din mine, pe care nici banii, nici lucrurile nu-l umpleau.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, l-am c\u0103utat pe Toma. L-am g\u0103sit \u00een spatele \u0219colii, m\u00e2nc\u00e2nd \u00eencet o felie de p\u00e2ine cu margarin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Toma\u2026 \u2014 am spus, st\u00e2ngaci. \u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la mine lung. Nu cu ur\u0103. Cu oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu conteaz\u0103 \u2014 a zis. \u2014 Sunt obi\u0219nuit.<\/p>\n
Vorbele lui m-au lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t orice palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103-i aduc m\u00e2ncare. La \u00eenceput pe ascuns. Un sandwich, un m\u0103r, o ciorb\u0103 \u00eentr-un borcan. Apoi, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 mai feresc. Am renun\u021bat la glume. La priviri de sus.<\/p>\n
Cu timpul, am aflat povestea lui. Mama bolnav\u0103. Chirii nepl\u0103tite. Facturi. Lei num\u0103ra\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la ultimul ban.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, am mers acas\u0103 la el. Un apartament mic, \u00eentr-un bloc vechi. Mama lui mi-a z\u00e2mbit, de\u0219i era sl\u0103bit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 e\u0219ti prieten cu fiul meu \u2014 mi-a spus.<\/p>\n
Prieten. Cuv\u00e2ntul \u0103la mi-a r\u0103mas \u00een cap.<\/p>\n
Anii au trecut. Am plecat la facultate. Am t\u0103iat leg\u0103tura cu lumea dinainte. Am ales s\u0103 fac altceva cu via\u021ba mea. Nu politic\u0103. Nu afaceri goale.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi lucrez \u00eentr-o funda\u021bie care ajut\u0103 copii din familii s\u0103race. Toma este profesor. Mama lui e bine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een fiecare zi, c\u00e2nd m\u0103n\u00e2nc, \u00eemi amintesc de p\u00e2inea aceea tare \u0219i de bile\u021bel. Pentru c\u0103 unele lec\u021bii nu se uit\u0103 niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
