\u00cen cutia de biscui\u021bi nu erau bani, a\u0219a cum se a\u0219tepta Andrei. Nici m\u0103car c\u00e2teva bancnote mototolite. Erau h\u00e2rtii. Multe h\u00e2rtii. Dosare \u00eeng\u0103lbenite, chitan\u021be, contracte, acte notariale, toate legate cu sfoar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat, cu vocea stins\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ion s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eencet pe un butuc de lemn. Respira greu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Asta e vila ta, frate.<\/p>\n
Andrei a r\u00e2s scurt, nervos. Un r\u00e2s gol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti nebun? Astea sunt ni\u0219te h\u00e2rtii!<\/p>\n
Ion a ridicat privirea spre el. Ochii \u00eei erau obosi\u021bi, dar limpezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cite\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Andrei a tras primul dosar. Era un contract de v\u00e2nzare-cump\u0103rare. Teren, intravilan, la marginea satului, aproape de drumul jude\u021bean. Apoi altul. \u0218i altul. Lot l\u00e2ng\u0103 lot. \u00cen total, \u0219apte parcele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai cump\u0103rat teren? \u2014 a morm\u0103it Andrei. \u2014 \u021ai-am spus s\u0103 construie\u0219ti casa!<\/p>\n
Ion a z\u00e2mbit din nou, la fel de amar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar vila se d\u0103r\u00e2m\u0103. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul r\u0103m\u00e2ne.<\/p>\n
Apoi a scos un alt teanc. Extrase de cont. Investi\u021bii. O mic\u0103 firm\u0103 de transport local. Dou\u0103 dube second-hand. Contracte cu magazine din ora\u0219ul apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am \u00eenceput cu o dub\u0103. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 una. Am muncit cu ele, zi \u0219i noapte. Eu conduceam, eu desc\u0103rcam. Dormeam unde apucam. Aici\u2026 \u2014 a ar\u0103tat spre cote\u021b.<\/p>\n
Andrei a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar banii? \u2014 a \u0219optit el. \u2014 Unde sunt banii mei?<\/p>\n
Ion a scos ultimul document. Un extras de cont bancar, recent. Suma era mare. Foarte mare. Mult peste ce trimisese Andrei \u00een zece ani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici sunt. To\u021bi. \u0218i mai mult de at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Andrei a sim\u021bit cum i se \u00eenmoaie picioarele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce\u2026 de ce tr\u0103iai a\u0219a? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, privind \u00een jur, la cartoane, la hainele rupte.<\/p>\n
Ion \u0219i-a l\u0103sat capul \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 cineva trebuia s\u0103 str\u00e2ng\u0103 cureaua. Tu erai singur printre str\u0103ini. Eu eram acas\u0103. Am zis c\u0103 eu pot duce.<\/p>\n
A urmat o t\u0103cere grea.<\/p>\n
Apoi Ion s-a ridicat, a scos din buzunar o cheie nou\u0103 \u0219i i-a pus-o \u00een palm\u0103 lui Andrei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai.<\/p>\n
Au mers pe jos c\u00e2teva sute de metri, p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103tul drumului. Acolo, \u00een spatele unui gard simplu, se ridica o cas\u0103 mare, solid\u0103, neterminat\u0103 la exterior, dar clar trainic\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 opulen\u021b\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 coloane inutile. Dar f\u0103cut\u0103 ca s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am vrut vil\u0103 de fal\u0103 \u2014 a spus Ion \u00eencet. \u2014 Am vrut cas\u0103. Una \u00een care s\u0103 tr\u0103im, nu s\u0103 ne uit\u0103m la ea.<\/p>\n
Andrei a intrat. Pere\u021bi drep\u021bi. Camere luminoase. O buc\u0103t\u0103rie mare. Loc pentru copii. Loc pentru lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
A \u00eengenuncheat \u00een mijlocul casei \u0219i a pl\u00e2ns. De data asta, de recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ion i-a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum e r\u00e2ndul t\u0103u s\u0103 stai acas\u0103, frate.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 zece ani, au m\u00e2ncat \u00eempreun\u0103 la aceea\u0219i mas\u0103. Simplu. Ca odinioar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i Andrei a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 adev\u0103rata bog\u0103\u021bie nu fusese niciodat\u0103 vila, ci sacrificiul t\u0103cut al unui frate care a ales s\u0103 ard\u0103 el, ca cel\u0103lalt s\u0103 poat\u0103 tr\u0103i.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
