Irina s-a oprit \u00een mijlocul drumului de \u021bar\u0103, cu saco\u0219a de pia\u021b\u0103 \u00eentr-o m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i copilul \u00een cealalt\u0103. Praful se ridica u\u0219or \u00een urma c\u0103ru\u021belor, iar soarele b\u0103tea drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 s\u0103 \u021bi-l dau? \u2014 a spus, cu vocea schimbat\u0103. \u2014 E copilul meu.<\/p>\n
Vasile n-a ridicat privirea imediat. Se uita la p\u0103m\u00e2nt, la cr\u0103p\u0103turile uscate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar e \u0219i fiul meu\u2026 nu din s\u00e2nge, ci din tot ce am fost pentru el.<\/p>\n
Au t\u0103cut am\u00e2ndoi. Denis se \u021binea str\u00e2ns de m\u00e2na lui Vasile, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Irina, \u2014 a continuat el, rar \u2014 tu ai acum familie. B\u0103rbat, cas\u0103, sprijin. Eu\u2026 eu am doar pe el. \u0218i el pe mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot decide a\u0219a, \u2014 a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
Au vorbit zile \u00eentregi. Cu preotul satului. Cu primarul. Cu rude. Cu vecini. Oamenii, care alt\u0103dat\u0103 r\u00e2deau, acum d\u0103deau din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Copilul e crescut de el, \u2014 spunea lumea. \u2014 La Vasile e acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, Irina a cedat. Cu inima rupt\u0103, dar cu mintea limpede.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 ai grij\u0103 de el, \u2014 i-a spus, pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd. \u2014 S\u0103 nu-i lipseasc\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 At\u00e2t \u0219tiu s\u0103 fac, \u2014 a r\u0103spuns Vasile.<\/p>\n
Anii au trecut. Denis a crescut. A mers la \u0219coal\u0103, apoi la liceu \u00een ora\u0219. Vasile muncea zi \u0219i noapte. Repara televizoare, frigidere, orice se strica. Str\u00e2ngea fiecare leu. Nu pentru el. Pentru copil.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Denis a intrat la facultate, Vasile a stat pe peron cu ochii \u00een lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103, \u2014 i-a spus b\u0103iatul \u2014 eu o s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc. Promit.<\/p>\n
\u0218i s-a \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ani, cu diplom\u0103, cu so\u021bie, cu un copil mic de m\u00e2n\u0103. \u00cen curtea veche, Vasile st\u0103tea pe banc\u0103, coco\u0219at ca \u00eentotdeauna, dar cu ochii plini.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunicule, \u2014 a spus copilul.<\/p>\n
Atunci, Vasile a \u00een\u021beles: nu fusese niciodat\u0103 un om mic. Fusese un om mare, care a iubit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 nimic \u00een schimb.<\/p>\n
\u0218i asta i-a fost de ajuns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
