\u2026mai mult dec\u00e2t \u021bi-ai imaginat vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n

Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat l\u00e2ng\u0103 groapa proasp\u0103t s\u0103pat\u0103 din cimitirul de la marginea ora\u0219ului. V\u00e2ntul mi\u0219ca u\u0219or coroanele cu panglici pe care scria \u201eDrum lin, Maria\u201d. Numele ei. Numele pe care \u00eel rostisem de at\u00e2tea ori cu dispre\u021b.<\/p>\n

M\u0103tu\u0219a Ileana m-a prins de bra\u021b.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Sora ta a f\u0103cut credit pentru tine, a spus \u00eencet, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2t. To\u021bi banii pe care i-a \u00eemprumutat\u2026 au fost pentru tine.<\/p>\n

Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Ce credit? am \u00eentrebat, cu vocea uscat\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Pentru taxa ta de \u00eenscriere. Pentru chiria ta din Cluj. Pentru laptopul \u0103la scump pe care \u021bi l-a trimis \u201eun sponsor anonim\u201d. Ea era.<\/p>\n

Mi s-a f\u0103cut r\u0103u.<\/p>\n

\u00cemi amintesc perfect ziua c\u00e2nd am primit banii. Eram m\u00e2ndru. Le spusese colegilor c\u0103 am un unchi din Italia care m\u0103 ajut\u0103. Am min\u021bit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipesc.<\/p>\n

Maria nu mi-a spus nimic.<\/p>\n

Muncea la trei sc\u0103ri de bloc. Sp\u0103la pe jos, \u0219tergea geamuri, cur\u0103\u021ba toalete. Oamenii o \u0219tiau ca \u201efemeia de serviciu de la etajul patru\u201d. Nimeni nu \u0219tia c\u0103 noaptea f\u0103cea calcule pe col\u021bul mesei, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 vad\u0103 cum mai pl\u0103te\u0219te rata la banc\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dar\u2026 de ce nu mi-a spus? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n

M\u0103tu\u0219a m-a privit cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 te iubea. \u0218i pentru c\u0103 \u0219tia c\u0103 ai fi refuzat. Sau, mai r\u0103u\u2026 ai fi f\u0103cut-o s\u0103 se simt\u0103 mic\u0103.<\/p>\n

Cuvintele ei m-au lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t orice palm\u0103.<\/p>\n

Mi-am amintit telefonul acela. Ea era fericit\u0103. Vocea \u00eei tremura de bucurie.<\/p>\n

\u201eBravo, m\u0103i, fr\u0103\u021bioare! S\u0103 ajungi om mare!\u201d<\/p>\n

Iar eu\u2026 eu am zdrobit-o cu vorbele mele.<\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare, m\u0103tu\u0219a mi-a dat o pung\u0103 veche, din p\u00e2nz\u0103. \u00cen\u0103untru era un caiet dictando. Pe prima pagin\u0103 scria st\u00e2ngaci: \u201ePentru Andrei, c\u00e2nd o fi preg\u0103tit.\u201d<\/p>\n

L-am deschis cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n

Erau pagini \u00eentregi de calcule. Sume \u00een lei, datorii, scaden\u021be. 2.000 lei \u2013 tax\u0103. 1.500 lei \u2013 chirie pe trei luni. 3.200 lei \u2013 laptop. L\u00e2ng\u0103 fiecare sum\u0103, c\u00e2te o noti\u021b\u0103: \u201eS\u0103 nu \u0219tie.\u201d \u201eS\u0103 nu-l fac s\u0103 se simt\u0103 prost.\u201d \u201eMerit\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t am avut eu.\u201d<\/p>\n

La final, o scrisoare.<\/p>\n

\u201eAndrei, dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 poate ai aflat. Nu \u021bi-am spus pentru c\u0103 voiam s\u0103 mergi \u00eenainte f\u0103r\u0103 povara mea. Tu s\u0103 nu-\u021bi fie ru\u0219ine niciodat\u0103 cu mine. Eu sunt m\u00e2ndr\u0103 de tine, chiar dac\u0103 n-am \u0219tiut carte. S\u0103 nu te ui\u021bi \u00een jos la oameni. Niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n

Am c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi l\u00e2ng\u0103 morm\u00e2ntul ei.<\/p>\n

Trei luni am tr\u0103it cu nodul \u0103sta \u00een g\u00e2t. Mergeam la serviciu, z\u00e2mbeam, \u00eemi vedeam de via\u021b\u0103. Dar \u00een fiecare sear\u0103, deschideam caietul.<\/p>\n

Am aflat de la banc\u0103 suma exact\u0103 r\u0103mas\u0103. 18.400 de lei.<\/p>\n

At\u00e2t mai avea de pl\u0103tit.<\/p>\n

Am v\u00e2ndut ma\u0219ina. N-am stat pe g\u00e2nduri. O ma\u0219in\u0103 se cump\u0103r\u0103 la loc. O sor\u0103 nu.<\/p>\n

Am pl\u0103tit fiecare leu.<\/p>\n

Apoi m-am dus la blocurile unde lucrase. Am \u00eentrebat de ea. Oamenii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 povesteasc\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u201eMaria? Era suflet mare.\u201d
\u201eNe aducea cozonac de Cr\u0103ciun.\u201d
\u201eStr\u00e2ngea bani pentru o vecin\u0103 bolnav\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nu era doar sora mea. Era sprijin pentru mul\u021bi.<\/p>\n

\u00centr-o s\u00e2mb\u0103t\u0103, m-am dus la directorul \u0219colii generale din cartierul unde crescuser\u0103m.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 fac o burs\u0103, am spus. Pentru un copil care are poten\u021bial, dar nu are bani.<\/p>\n

Directorul m-a privit surprins.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cum s\u0103 se numeasc\u0103?<\/p>\n

Am z\u00e2mbit, pentru prima dat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 durere.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Bursa \u201eMaria Popa\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00cen fiecare an, un copil prime\u0219te acum 1.000 de lei pe lun\u0103 pentru rechizite, haine \u0219i medita\u021bii. Nu e o avere. Dar e un \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n

La prima festivitate, o feti\u021b\u0103 cu codi\u021be a urcat pe scen\u0103 \u0219i a spus: \u201ePromit s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b bine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Am sim\u021bit c\u0103, undeva, Maria z\u00e2mbe\u0219te.<\/p>\n

Nu pot schimba ce am spus atunci la telefon. Nu pot \u0219terge r\u0103utatea mea.<\/p>\n

Dar pot s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc altfel.<\/p>\n

De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd v\u0103d un om care munce\u0219te din greu \u2014 femeia care m\u0103tur\u0103 strada, b\u0103rbatul care car\u0103 marf\u0103 \u00een pia\u021b\u0103 \u2014 \u00eemi amintesc de ea.<\/p>\n

\u0218i nu mai privesc niciodat\u0103 de sus.<\/p>\n

Pentru c\u0103, dintre noi doi, ea a fost cea care a ajuns cu adev\u0103rat om mare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
