Agentul \u0219i-a scos \u0219apca \u0219i a pus-o l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, pe banc\u0103. Z\u00e2mbea cald, dar privirea \u00eei era atent\u0103. Feti\u021ba se uita la el cu ochii mari, ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns, str\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-\u0219i m\u00e2inile mici \u00een pumni.<\/p>\n
\u201eCum te cheam\u0103, puiule?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u201eMaria\u2026\u201d, a \u0219optit ea, cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mama a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. Era pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd Maria spunea altceva dec\u00e2t \u201evreau la poli\u021bie\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201eBine, Maria\u201d, a spus agentul. \u201eEu sunt nenea Andrei. Po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui ce te apas\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept, de parc\u0103 se preg\u0103tea pentru ceva foarte greu. Lacrimile i-au curs din nou pe obraji.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm stricat\u2026 banii\u201d, a murmurat ea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen \u00eenc\u0103pere s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103. Tat\u0103l a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, nedumerit.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe bani, iubire?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat el.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a uitat speriat\u0103 la p\u0103rin\u021bi, apoi din nou la poli\u021bist.<\/p>\n
\u201eBanii bunicii\u2026 din sertar\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Agentul Andrei a clipit de c\u00e2teva ori. Apoi a vorbit calm.<\/p>\n
\u201eSpune-mi ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cu pauze lungi \u0219i multe suspine, povestea a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se lege. Cu dou\u0103 zile \u00eenainte, bunica \u00eei d\u0103duse Mariei o h\u00e2rtie de cinci lei s\u0103-\u0219i ia covrigi de la col\u021b. Copila, curioas\u0103, g\u0103sise sertarul cu \u201eh\u00e2rtii colorate\u201d. Nu \u0219tia ce sunt. Le-a rupt, le-a mototolit, unele au ajuns sub pat. C\u00e2nd bunica a c\u0103utat banii, n-a mai g\u0103sit dec\u00e2t buc\u0103\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Bunica nu \u021bipase. Doar spusese, trist\u0103: \u201eOf, mam\u0103\u2026 \u0103\u0219tia erau banii de pensie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele acelea au r\u0103mas \u00een capul Mariei ca un ecou. Pensie. Bani. Triste\u021be.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Maria n-a mai dormit. A doua zi, a refuzat m\u00e2ncarea. Pl\u00e2ngea \u0219i repeta un singur lucru: \u201eTrebuie s\u0103 merg la poli\u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce la poli\u021bie?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat agentul.<\/p>\n
\u201eC\u0103 a\u0219a e corect\u2026 tati a zis la televizor c\u0103 cine stric\u0103 lucruri merge la poli\u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ochii tat\u0103lui s-au umplut de lacrimi. \u00ce\u0219i amintea exact \u0219tirea.<\/p>\n
Agentul Andrei a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or, dar sim\u021bea un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. S-a ridicat \u0219i a vorbit cu un coleg. C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, s-a \u00eentors cu o foaie, ni\u0219te creioane colorate \u0219i o bancnot\u0103 de cinci lei.<\/p>\n
\u201eMaria\u201d, a spus el, \u201euite ce facem. Desen\u0103m ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a desenat o bunic\u0103, un sertar \u0219i multe h\u00e2rtii colorate. Apoi a desenat o inim\u0103 mare.<\/p>\n
\u201eAsta ce e?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat agentul.<\/p>\n
\u201eIubire\u2026 pentru bunica.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei a pus bancnota pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0102\u0219tia sunt cinci lei. Nu sunt ai bunicii tale, dar sunt ca s\u0103 \u00een\u021belegi ceva. Gre\u0219elile se repar\u0103. Tu ai spus adev\u0103rul. Ai venit aici. Asta \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 e\u0219ti curajoas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria s-a uitat lung la bancnot\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu merg la pu\u0219c\u0103rie?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bistul a r\u00e2s \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu, puiule. Pu\u0219c\u0103ria e pentru oameni mari care fac lucruri rele \u0219i nu le pas\u0103. Tu ai inim\u0103 bun\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mama a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Tat\u0103l \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na peste fa\u021b\u0103, ru\u0219inat \u0219i emo\u021bionat.<\/p>\n
Agentul s-a \u00eentors spre ei.<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 a\u021bi crescut un copil extraordinar. Rar vezi at\u00e2ta con\u0219tiin\u021b\u0103 la v\u00e2rsta asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
La plecare, Maria s-a \u00eentors din u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNene Andrei\u2026 sunt iertat\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eE\u0219ti\u201d, a spus el. \u201e\u0218i s\u0103 \u0219tii ceva: bunica te iube\u0219te mai mult dec\u00e2t orice bani.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Maria a m\u00e2ncat toat\u0103 ciorba. A dormit lini\u0219tit\u0103. Iar bunica a primit nu doar cinci lei, ci \u0219i o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219are care a valorat mai mult dec\u00e2t toat\u0103 pensia.<\/p>\n
La sec\u021bia de poli\u021bie, agentul Andrei a r\u0103mas pe g\u00e2nduri mult timp. Uneori, cele mai mari lec\u021bii vin de la cei mai mici oameni.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
