Imaginea s-a oprit pe o femeie pe care n-o mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 simplu, \u00eentr-o hain\u0103 bej, cu p\u0103rul str\u00e2ns la spate. Nu pl\u00e2ngea. Se uita la sicriu cu o aten\u021bie dureroas\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103 memoreze fiecare detaliu. Apoi, din spatele ei, au ap\u0103rut doi copii.<\/p>\n
Un b\u0103iat de vreo doisprezece ani \u0219i o fat\u0103 pu\u021bin mai mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Femeia s-a apropiat. A stat c\u00e2teva secunde. A \u00eentins m\u00e2na. A f\u0103cut exact gestul pe care \u00eel f\u0103cusem \u0219i eu mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
A pus ceva sub m\u00e2inile lui Ionu\u021b.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi fuge podeaua de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u201eCine sunt?\u201d am \u00eentrebat, cu vocea g\u00e2tuit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Radu s-a uitat din nou la ecran.
\n\u201eAu venit \u00eempreun\u0103. N-au stat mult. N-au vorbit cu nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it din camer\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun nimic.<\/p>\n
Aerul de pe hol mi s-a p\u0103rut ireal. Parc\u0103 nu mai eram acolo. Parc\u0103 priveghiul nu mai era al so\u021bului meu, ci al vie\u021bii mele de p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci.<\/p>\n
Am stat pe o banc\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 intrare. Oamenii treceau pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, murmurau condolean\u021be, dar nu mai auzeam nimic.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare, am mers acas\u0103 singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apartamentul era curat, ordonat. A\u0219a cum \u00eel l\u0103sasem \u00eempreun\u0103. Papucii lui erau l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103. Cana lui preferat\u0103, cu ciob mic pe margine, era \u00een chiuvet\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat la masa din buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am scos biletul din po\u0219et\u0103.<\/p>\n
L-am citit iar \u0219i iar.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, am sunat la o cuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 veche. O fost\u0103 coleg\u0103 de-a lui Ionu\u021b, de la fabric\u0103. Nu mai vorbisem de ani buni.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut mult la telefon.<\/p>\n
Apoi a spus:
\n\u201eM\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam c\u0103 o s\u0103 afli \u00eentr-o zi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inima mi-a b\u0103tut \u00een urechi.<\/p>\n
Mi-a spus totul.<\/p>\n
Cu dou\u0103zeci de ani \u00een urm\u0103, \u00eentr-o perioad\u0103 \u00een care eu eram prins\u0103 \u00eentre spitale \u0219i tratamente, Ionu\u021b avusese o rela\u021bie scurt\u0103 cu o femeie din alt ora\u0219. Nimic spectaculos. Nimic romantic. O gre\u0219eal\u0103, n\u0103scut\u0103 din oboseal\u0103, vin\u0103 \u0219i neputin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Femeia r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b nu plecase. Nu m\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103sise. Nu dusese o via\u021b\u0103 dubl\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pl\u0103tise pensie. Trimitea bani lunar, discret, dintr-un cont separat. C\u00e2teva sute de lei, ani la r\u00e2nd. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 nimic. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 apar\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba lor.<\/p>\n
\u201eA zis c\u0103 nu vrea s\u0103-\u021bi mai adauge o durere\u201d, mi-a spus colega lui. \u201eDar copiii \u0219tiau cine e. Le-a spus c\u0103 e un om bun, care \u00eei iube\u0219te de la distan\u021b\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis telefonul \u0219i am stat mult timp \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
M-am g\u00e2ndit la to\u021bi anii no\u0219tri. La serile lini\u0219tite. La m\u00e2na lui pe spatele meu. La felul \u00een care \u00eemi spunea mereu c\u0103 sunt suficient\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i am \u00een\u021beles ceva greu, dar clar.<\/p>\n
M-a iubit.<\/p>\n
A gre\u0219it. A purtat o vin\u0103 uria\u0219\u0103. A ales s\u0103 repare \u00een t\u0103cere, nu s\u0103 fug\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, am mers la adresa pe care o primisem.<\/p>\n
O cas\u0103 modest\u0103, la marginea unui ora\u0219 mic.<\/p>\n
Femeia mi-a deschis u\u0219a cu ochii ro\u0219ii. Copiii st\u0103teau \u00een spatele ei.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm venit s\u0103 v\u0103 mul\u021bumesc\u201d, am spus. \u201ePentru c\u0103 l-a\u021bi iubit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am stat la mas\u0103. Am vorbit. Am pl\u00e2ns pu\u021bin. Am r\u00e2s, la un moment dat, c\u00e2nd b\u0103iatul a spus exact una dintre glumele lui Ionu\u021b.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am plecat, am sim\u021bit ceva ce nu mai sim\u021bisem de la mar\u021bea aceea ploioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu tr\u0103dare.<\/p>\n
Ci adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba nu e curat\u0103. Oamenii nu sunt perfec\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Dar iubirea, chiar \u0219i cu gre\u0219eli, las\u0103 urme.<\/p>\n
Iar Ionu\u021b, so\u021bul meu, a l\u0103sat mai multe urme dec\u00e2t am \u0219tiut vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
