Directorul a \u00eenchis u\u0219ile. Jaluzelele automate au cobor\u00e2t \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u00cen banc\u0103 s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te grea, ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Pe ecran era afi\u0219at\u0103 suma: 12.480.000 de lei.<\/p>\n
Dob\u00e2nzi adunate timp de cincizeci de ani. Depuneri f\u0103cute la fiecare recolt\u0103 bun\u0103. La fiecare prim\u0103 primit\u0103 de so\u021bul ei. La fiecare leu pus deoparte \u201epentru zile negre\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dar zilele negre nu veniser\u0103 niciodat\u0103 pentru ea.<\/p>\n
Veniser\u0103 pentru altcineva.<\/p>\n
Directorul s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Popa\u2026 este o sum\u0103 foarte mare. Va trebui s\u0103 preg\u0103tim transferul. Nu putem aduce at\u00e2\u021bia bani cash \u00een c\u00e2teva minute.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na l-a privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00eei vreau pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut simplu. F\u0103r\u0103 dram\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci pentru cine? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, mai \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Ea \u0219i-a netezit punga de plastic pe genunchi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen 1970, b\u0103iatul meu avea opt ani. \u0218coala din satul nostru s-a \u00eenchis. Nu erau bani pentru repara\u021bii. Tavanul c\u0103dea, sobe vechi, geamuri sparte. Ni s-a spus c\u0103 nu merit\u0103 investi\u021bia. C\u0103 sunt prea pu\u021bini copii.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen ziua aceea am promis c\u0103, dac\u0103 Dumnezeu \u00eemi d\u0103 putere s\u0103 muncesc, o s\u0103 str\u00e2ng bani c\u00e2t s\u0103 nu mai \u00eenchid\u0103 nimeni o \u0219coal\u0103 din cauza lipsei de bani.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sal\u0103, cineva a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fiul meu a murit la dou\u0103zeci de ani, \u00eentr-un accident pe \u0219antier. N-a apucat s\u0103 vad\u0103 nimic schimbat. Dar promisiunea a r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
Directorul a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge g\u00e2tul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau \u2014 a continuat ea \u2014 ca to\u021bi banii s\u0103 fie transfera\u021bi c\u0103tre Inspectoratul \u0218colar. Pentru renovarea \u0219colilor din mediul rural. Cu o singur\u0103 condi\u021bie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Care anume?<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 poarte numele fiului meu. \u0218coala \u201eMihai Popa\u201d. Unde va fi nevoie.<\/p>\n
Func\u021bionara de la ghi\u0219eu avea lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul \u00een costum \u00ee\u0219i cobor\u00e2se privirea.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu mai r\u00e2dea.<\/p>\n
Directorul a \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103\u2026 v\u0103 promit c\u0103 personal m\u0103 voi ocupa.<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mie s\u0103-mi promite\u021bi. Copiilor.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, presa a scris despre dona\u021bia anonim\u0103 a unei b\u0103tr\u00e2ne din Cluj. S-au renovat trei \u0219coli. S-au pus centrale noi. Geamuri termopan. B\u0103nci noi. Table moderne.<\/p>\n
La inaugurare, Elena Popa a stat \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd, cu aceea\u0219i bluz\u0103 maro \u0219i acelea\u0219i sandale.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd copiii au intrat \u00een clasele luminate, curate, \u00eenc\u0103lzite, ea a \u00eenchis ochii pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cincizeci de ani de munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cincizeci de ani de r\u0103bdare.<\/p>\n
O pung\u0103 de plastic.<\/p>\n
\u0218i o promisiune \u021binut\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aceea, nimeni nu a mai v\u0103zut o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103rac\u0103.<\/p>\n
Au v\u0103zut un om care a \u0219tiut c\u0103 adev\u0103rata avere nu se poart\u0103 la m\u00e2n\u0103 sau \u00een costum.<\/p>\n
