La cap\u0103tul cel\u0103lalt al firului s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
O secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi o voce cald\u0103, u\u0219or r\u0103gu\u0219it\u0103, a r\u0103spuns:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Poftim?<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t aveam impresia c\u0103 se aude prin telefon.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Sunt Raluca. So\u021bia lui Andrei. Cred c\u0103\u2026 cred c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 vorbim.<\/p>\n
Alt\u0103 pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu \u0219tiu ce s\u0103 v\u0103 spun\u2026 cred c\u0103 e o gre\u0219eal\u0103, a zis femeia.<\/p>\n
Gre\u0219eal\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2013 Andrei v\u0103 are \u00een telefon salvat\u0103 cu inimioare. V\u0103 strig\u0103 numele \u00een somn de trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Dac\u0103 e o gre\u0219eal\u0103, a\u0219 vrea s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg care.<\/p>\n
Respira\u021bia ei s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Doamn\u0103\u2026 eu am 62 de ani.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Cum?<\/p>\n
\u2013 M\u0103 cheam\u0103 Marlena Popa. Sunt \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103toare pensionar\u0103. L-am avut pe Andrei elev \u00een clasa a patra.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut pielea de g\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Poftim?!<\/p>\n
\u2013 M-a c\u0103utat acum o lun\u0103. Mi-a spus c\u0103 voia s\u0103 m\u0103 revad\u0103. C\u0103 \u00een copil\u0103rie l-am ajutat mult. C\u0103\u2026 dac\u0103 nu eram eu, poate nu termina \u0219coala.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u0218i inimioarele?<\/p>\n
Femeia a oftat u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Eu nu am inimioare la nimeni. Poate le-a pus el\u2026 din drag.<\/p>\n
Mintea mi se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 De ce v-a c\u0103utat?<\/p>\n
\u2013 Pentru c\u0103 mama lui a murit c\u00e2nd era mic. Iar tat\u0103l\u2026 nu prea era prezent. St\u0103tea mai mult singur. Venea la \u0219coal\u0103 fl\u0103m\u00e2nd uneori. \u00cei puneam pachet \u00een ghiozdan f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie ceilal\u021bi copii.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum ceva se rupe \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
Andrei nu vorbise niciodat\u0103 prea mult despre copil\u0103ria lui. \u0218tiam c\u0103 nu fusese u\u0219oar\u0103. Dar at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2013 A venit la mine luna trecut\u0103, a continuat Marlena. Mi-a spus c\u0103 are o via\u021b\u0103 bun\u0103, c\u0103 e c\u0103s\u0103torit, c\u0103 e fericit. Dar c\u0103 de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd \u00eei e greu, \u00ee\u0219i aminte\u0219te cum \u00eei spuneam: \u201ePo\u021bi mai mult de at\u00e2t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu e nimic nepotrivit, doamn\u0103, a spus ea ferm. Dac\u0103 v\u0103 face bine, veni\u021bi la mine. V\u0103 ar\u0103t mesaje. Vorbim fa\u021b\u0103 \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, m-am dus.<\/p>\n
Un apartament vechi, curat, cu mileuri pe mas\u0103 \u0219i miros de cozonac. Pe perete, diplome \u00eeng\u0103lbenite.<\/p>\n
Mi-a ar\u0103tat conversa\u021biile.<\/p>\n
Niciun cuv\u00e2nt nepotrivit. Doar recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103rut m\u00e2na, doamna \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103toare.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eV\u0103 mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 a\u021bi avut r\u0103bdare cu mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eMi-a\u021bi schimbat via\u021ba.\u201d<\/p>\n
La final, un mesaj trimis cu trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u00een urm\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eSunt epuizat. Dar \u00eemi amintesc c\u0103 mi-a\u021bi spus c\u0103 pot fi b\u0103rbatul care \u00ee\u0219i \u021bine familia unit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis telefonul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Uneori, a spus Marlena, copiii care n-au fost iubi\u021bi destul, caut\u0103 \u00een vis locul unde s-au sim\u021bit \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am plecat de acolo cu alt\u0103 inim\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, c\u00e2nd Andrei a adormit, m-am uitat la el altfel.<\/p>\n
Nu ca la un tr\u0103d\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
Ci ca la un copil care nu a fost \u021binut destul \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a murmurat din nou \u201eMarlena\u201d, nu l-am mai trezit.<\/p>\n
L-am str\u00e2ns eu \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, i-am spus c\u0103 \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput s-a albit la fa\u021b\u0103. Apoi i-am spus tot.<\/p>\n
A pl\u00e2ns. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mi-a fost ru\u0219ine s\u0103-\u021bi spun c\u00e2t de mult m-a marcat. Mi-era team\u0103 c\u0103 o s\u0103 par slab.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Slab e cel care minte, i-am spus. Nu cel care \u00ee\u0219i aminte\u0219te cine l-a salvat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen weekend, am mers \u00eempreun\u0103 la Marlena, cu un buchet mare de flori \u0219i o cutie de bomboane.<\/p>\n
Andrei i-a s\u0103rutat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
Eu i-am mul\u021bumit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen drum spre cas\u0103, m-a prins de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 n-am avut curaj s\u0103-\u021bi spun.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 n-am avut r\u0103bdare s\u0103 \u00eentreb altfel, i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, n-a mai rostit niciun nume.<\/p>\n
Doar m-a str\u00e2ns mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, am dormit lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
