Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi bate inima \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Mihai \u0219i-a luat geaca din cuier f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 aprind\u0103 lumina. Se mi\u0219ca atent, ca \u0219i cum ar fi f\u0103cut asta de mult timp. Ca \u0219i cum ar fi \u0219tiut exact ce face.<\/p>\n
L-am urmat p\u00e2n\u0103 la u\u0219a de la intrare. A deschis \u00eencet, \u00eencet, s\u0103 nu sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ie.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it dup\u0103 el, descul\u021b\u0103, cu papucii \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Strada era lini\u0219tit\u0103. Doar un c\u00e2ine l\u0103tra undeva \u00een dep\u0103rtare. Era aproape dou\u0103 noaptea.<\/p>\n
Mihai s-a urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i a pornit f\u0103r\u0103 faruri pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi le-a aprins la col\u021b.<\/p>\n
Am fugit \u00eenapoi \u00een cas\u0103, mi-am luat cheile \u0219i am plecat dup\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiu de unde am avut curajul \u0103la. Poate din furie. Poate din fric\u0103. Poate din am\u00e2ndou\u0103.<\/p>\n
A condus p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een partea veche a ora\u0219ului, \u00eentr-o zon\u0103 de case mici, cu por\u021bi de fier \u0219i garduri str\u00e2mbe. A oprit \u00een fa\u021ba unei cur\u021bi modeste, cu un nuc mare \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lumina era aprins\u0103 \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n
Am parcat mai \u00een spate \u0219i m-am apropiat pe jos.<\/p>\n
Poarta era \u00eentredeschis\u0103.<\/p>\n
L-am v\u0103zut pe Mihai sco\u021b\u00e2nd banii din buzunar \u0219i intr\u00e2nd gr\u0103bit \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a nu era \u00eencuiat\u0103. Am p\u0103\u0219it \u00eencet \u0219i m-am oprit \u00een prag.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sufragerie, pe o canapea veche, st\u0103tea o femeie slab\u0103, trecut\u0103 de 60 de ani. L\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, o fat\u0103 de vreo 14 ani, cu ochii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Pe mas\u0103 erau facturi \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate \u0219i o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie.<\/p>\n
Mihai a pus banii jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai avem nevoie de \u00eenc\u0103 2.000 de lei p\u00e2n\u0103 vineri, altfel ne taie curentul, spunea femeia cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se \u00eenmoaie genunchii.<\/p>\n
Fata aceea era Ana. Fata lui Mihai din prima c\u0103s\u0103torie.<\/p>\n
O \u0219tiam. Sau credeam c\u0103 o \u0219tiu. Nu mai vorbiser\u0103 de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Mihai \u00eengenunchease \u00een fa\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi promit c\u0103 rezolv. Nu te las \u00een \u00eentuneric, a spus el \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Femeia aceea era fosta lui so\u021bie. Bolnav\u0103. Se vedea pe chipul ei.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum furia \u00eencepe s\u0103 se topeasc\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 lase loc altui sentiment. Unul greu. Amar.<\/p>\n
Mihai nu juca la p\u0103c\u0103nele. Nu avea amant\u0103. Nu fugea de familie.<\/p>\n
\u00cencerca s\u0103 repare o alt\u0103 familie.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103. Podeaua a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi trei s-au \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
Privirea lui Mihai\u2026 nu o voi uita niciodat\u0103. Era plin\u0103 de team\u0103. De ru\u0219ine. De vin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andreea\u2026 pot s\u0103 explic\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar nu mai era nevoie.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la Ana. La frigul din cas\u0103. La caloriferul rece.<\/p>\n
Mi-am scos portofelul \u0219i l-am pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t mai trebuie p\u00e2n\u0103 vineri?<\/p>\n
Mihai a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, am pl\u0103tit restan\u021bele. Curentul nu a fost t\u0103iat. Gazul nici at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Pe drumul spre cas\u0103, t\u0103cerea dintre noi era grea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu mi-ai spus? am \u00eentrebat \u00een final.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a fost ru\u0219ine. \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu e responsabil s\u0103 iau bani f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun. Dar n-am vrut s\u0103 aleg \u00eentre copiii mei, a spus el cu voce fr\u00e2nt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rul doare.<\/p>\n
Dar uneori, adev\u0103rul vindec\u0103.<\/p>\n
Acas\u0103, diminea\u021ba ne-a prins la masa din buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Le-am spus copiilor tot.<\/p>\n
Nu a fost u\u0219or. Au fost lacrimi. Au fost \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Dar a fost \u0219i ceva nou.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u021belegere.<\/p>\n
Din luna aceea, am f\u0103cut un buget clar. F\u0103r\u0103 secrete. F\u0103r\u0103 bani lua\u021bi pe furi\u0219.<\/p>\n
Ana a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vin\u0103 la noi \u00een weekenduri.<\/p>\n
Copiii mei au \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva ce nici o lec\u021bie din \u0219coal\u0103 nu i-ar fi \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat: familia nu e mereu simpl\u0103. Dar e responsabilitate.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, c\u00e2nd am pornit pe v\u00e2rfuri dup\u0103 Mihai, credeam c\u0103 \u00eemi pierd c\u0103snicia.<\/p>\n
De fapt, atunci am \u00eenceput s\u0103 o salv\u0103m.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, c\u00e2nd m-am \u00eentins \u00een pat \u0219i am pus m\u00e2na pe cear\u0219af, am g\u0103sit c\u0103ldur\u0103.<\/p>\n
