Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, nimeni n-a spus nimic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mintea lui Andrei se ciocneau g\u00e2nduri. \u00cent\u00e2lnire pe nev\u0103zute. Restaurant scump. Mam\u0103 la mas\u0103. Situa\u021bie absurd\u0103. Oricare dintre prietenii lui ar fi f\u0103cut o glum\u0103 \u0219i ar fi plecat.<\/p>\n
Dar Andrei nu s-a mi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
A privit-o pe Irina. Nu era pref\u0103cut\u0103. Nu juca teatru. Se vedea clar c\u0103 \u00eei era ru\u0219ine p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een m\u0103duva oaselor. Apoi \u0219i-a mutat privirea spre femeia \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103. Avea m\u00e2ini muncite, str\u00e2nse una \u00een alta, \u0219i ochi obosi\u021bi, dar calzi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 seara, a spus el, ridic\u00e2ndu-se complet. Pofti\u021bi, v\u0103 rog, lua\u021bi loc.<\/p>\n
Irina a clipit des, surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Chiar\u2026 nu v\u0103 deranjeaz\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deloc, a r\u0103spuns el simplu.<\/p>\n
Mama Irinei s-a a\u0219ezat cu grij\u0103 pe scaun, ca \u0219i cum se temea s\u0103 nu \u00eencurce.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 nu e vina ei, a spus femeia \u00eencet. Eu n-am vrut\u2026 dar nu aveam unde s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n.<\/p>\n
Irina a izbucnit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama mea a venit recent la Bucure\u0219ti. E bolnav\u0103, are nevoie de tratament. St\u0103m \u00eentr-o garsonier\u0103 mic\u0103, chiria e 1.800 de lei, iar eu c\u00e2\u0219tig 3.000 pe lun\u0103 la spital. N-am vrut s\u0103 anulez \u00eent\u00e2lnirea, dar nici nu puteam s-o las singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
I s-a f\u0103cut, brusc, dor de mama lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u021bi m\u00e2ncat ceva? a \u00eentrebat el, f\u0103c\u00e2nd semn chelnerului.<\/p>\n
Cina a curs altfel dec\u00e2t \u00ee\u0219i imaginase vreodat\u0103. Au vorbit despre via\u021b\u0103, despre g\u0103rzi de noapte la spital, despre facturi, despre cum e s\u0103 numeri banii p\u00e2n\u0103 la salariu. Mama Irinei a povestit cum a crescut-o singur\u0103 dup\u0103 ce so\u021bul a murit.<\/p>\n
Andrei nu se mai sim\u021bea judecat pentru ceasul scump sau ma\u0219ina din parcare. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani, era v\u0103zut ca om.<\/p>\n
La final, c\u00e2nd nota de plat\u0103 a venit \u2014 peste 600 de lei \u2014 Irina s-a albit la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc \u0219i eu partea mea, a spus repede.<\/p>\n
Andrei a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi lini\u0219tit\u0103. Consider c\u0103 a fost o sear\u0103\u2026 special\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-au ridicat s\u0103 plece, mama Irinei l-a privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 nu v\u0103 sup\u0103ra\u021bi, dar sunte\u021bi un om bun. Se vede.<\/p>\n
Andrei a r\u0103mas \u00een parcare mult timp dup\u0103 ce ele au plecat.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, Irina l-a sunat. Au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se vad\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 restaurante scumpe. Plimb\u0103ri prin parc. Covrigi calzi. Vorbe simple.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Andrei a ajutat-o s\u0103-\u0219i mute mama \u00eentr-un apartament mic, dar curat. Chirie pl\u0103tit\u0103 pe un an \u00eenainte. F\u0103r\u0103 promisiuni mari. Doar fapte.<\/p>\n
Un an mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o zi obi\u0219nuit\u0103, \u00eentr-o biseric\u0103 mic\u0103 de cartier, Andrei st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 Irina, \u021bin\u00e2nd-o de m\u00e2n\u0103. Mama ei pl\u00e2ngea \u00een prima banc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u0219tia acum sigur un lucru: iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu vine \u00eempachetat\u0103 frumos. Vine sincer. Uneori, cu mama de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
