Lumina a r\u0103mas aprins\u0103 toat\u0103 noaptea.<\/p>\n
Natalia n-a dormit aproape deloc. La fiecare zgomot al casei, tres\u0103rea. Se ridica din pat \u0219i se uita pe hol, ca nu cumva feti\u021ba s\u0103 plece sau s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, Clara era deja treaz\u0103. St\u0103tea pe marginea patului, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103, cu ursule\u021bul \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
\u201eAi dormit?\u201d a \u00eentrebat Natalia cu voce cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
Clara a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
Au m\u00e2ncat \u00een lini\u0219te. Feti\u021ba rupea buc\u0103\u021bi mici din p\u00e2ine \u0219i le mesteca \u00eencet, de parc\u0103 se temea s\u0103 nu deranjeze pe cineva.<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut greu. Clara vorbea pu\u021bin. Se speria c\u00e2nd auzea u\u0219a tr\u00e2ntindu-se. C\u00e2nd Natalia ridica tonul, chiar \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 inten\u021bie, feti\u021ba \u00eencremenea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Natalia a decis s\u0103-i fac\u0103 baie. A umplut cada cu ap\u0103 cald\u0103 \u0219i spum\u0103 parfumat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eVrei r\u0103\u021bu\u0219ca galben\u0103 sau barca?\u201d a \u00eentrebat ea z\u00e2mbind.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu conteaz\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara s-a dezbr\u0103cat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci Natalia a v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
Pe spatele mic \u0219i fragil, sub omoplat, era o cicatrice lung\u0103, ur\u00e2t\u0103. Iar pe bra\u021b, v\u00e2n\u0103t\u0103i vechi, galbene.<\/p>\n
Inima i-a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u201eClara\u2026 cine \u021bi-a f\u0103cut asta?\u201d vocea i s-a fr\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a amu\u021bit. Privirea i s-a golit.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm c\u0103zut,\u201d a spus dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Dar tonul era \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat. Repetat.<\/p>\n
Natalia a sim\u021bit cum o arde ceva \u00een piept. Nu furie. Nu \u00eenc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Durere.<\/p>\n
A \u00eengenuncheat l\u00e2ng\u0103 cad\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eLa mine acas\u0103, nimeni nu te love\u0219te. Niciodat\u0103. Ai \u00een\u021beles?\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara a clipit des. Buzele i-au tremurat.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 spun\u2026 m\u0103 duc \u00eenapoi?\u201d a \u00eentrebat \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Natalia a sim\u021bit c\u0103 i se rupe sufletul.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu. Nu te duci nic\u0103ieri. E\u0219ti acas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci, pentru prima dat\u0103, Clara a pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Nu tare. Nu cu zgomot.<\/p>\n
Ci cu lacrimi mari, care curgeau f\u0103r\u0103 oprire.<\/p>\n
A povestit printre sughi\u021buri. Despre fostul \u201etat\u0103 adoptiv\u201d. Despre pedepse. Despre frica de a gre\u0219i. Despre cum \u00eenv\u0103\u021base s\u0103 nu vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Natalia a str\u00e2ns-o la piept, cu grij\u0103, ca pe ceva sf\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, a mers direct la Protec\u021bia Copilului. A cerut reevaluare, investiga\u021bie, control. N-a t\u0103cut. N-a l\u0103sat lucrurile a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
\u201eCopilul \u0103sta a fost b\u0103tut,\u201d a spus r\u0103spicat. \u201e\u0218i nu o s\u0103 \u00eenchid ochii.\u201d<\/p>\n
Au urmat controale, discu\u021bii, anchete. A fost greu. Obositor. Dar Natalia n-a cedat.<\/p>\n
Clara a \u00eenceput terapie. La \u00eenceput, st\u0103tea cu m\u00e2inile \u00een buzunar \u0219i r\u0103spundea doar cu \u201eda\u201d sau \u201enu\u201d.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00eencet, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 deseneze din nou.<\/p>\n
Copaci.<\/p>\n
Fluturi mov.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103 de var\u0103, \u00een gr\u0103dini\u021b\u0103, au plantat floarea-soarelui. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul era cald, iar vecina de peste gard le-a strigat:<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103 v\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103!\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
Un r\u00e2s scurt, dar curat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen toamn\u0103, la serbarea \u0219colar\u0103, a urcat pe scen\u0103. Natalia avea emo\u021bii mai mari dec\u00e2t ea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a terminat poezia, Clara a c\u0103utat-o cu privirea \u00een sal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a z\u00e2mbit larg.<\/p>\n
Seara, \u00een timp ce o \u00eenvelea, feti\u021ba a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n
Natalia a \u00eencremenit o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDa?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu mai mi-e fric\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci a \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
Nu cicatricea era secretul \u00eenfior\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
Ci c\u00e2t de mult poate suferi un copil \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u00e2t de mult se poate vindeca atunci c\u00e2nd, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, cineva \u00eel \u021bine \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i \u00eei spune simplu:<\/p>\n
