\u0218i chiar \u00een ziua urm\u0103toare m-am dus s\u0103 v\u0103d \u201emo\u0219tenirea\u201d.<\/p>\n
Valea Sec\u0103turii era la vreo trei kilometri de sat, dup\u0103 ultima cas\u0103, unde asfaltul se termina \u0219i \u00eencepea drumul plin de gropi. Am mers pe jos. N-aveam ma\u0219in\u0103. N-aveam nimic.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ajuns, am \u00een\u021beles de ce r\u00e2seser\u0103.<\/p>\n
P\u0103m\u00e2nt cr\u0103pat. Buruieni uscate p\u00e2n\u0103 la genunchi. C\u00e2\u021biva pomi b\u0103tr\u00e2ni, str\u00e2mbi, de parc\u0103 \u0219i ei voiau s\u0103 plece de acolo. Nicio f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103. Nici gard.<\/p>\n
Am stat \u00een mijlocul terenului \u0219i am sim\u021bit c\u0103 m\u0103 apas\u0103 lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Acolo trebuia s\u0103-mi fac un rost.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prima clip\u0103, mi-au dat lacrimile. Nu de ru\u0219ine. De fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar frica \u021bine pu\u021bin c\u00e2nd n-ai ce pierde.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput cu m\u00e2inile goale. La propriu. Am cur\u0103\u021bat m\u0103r\u0103cinii cu o coas\u0103 veche pe care o g\u0103sisem \u00een \u0219opronul nostru, \u00eenainte s\u0103 fiu dat\u0103 afar\u0103 din casa mare. Am str\u00e2ns bolovanii gr\u0103mad\u0103. Zi dup\u0103 zi.<\/p>\n
Vecinii treceau pe drum \u0219i se uitau. Unii cl\u0103tinau din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s\u0103 scoat\u0103 ea de acolo?
\u2014 Mai bine vinde \u0219i scap\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar cui s\u0103 v\u00e2nd? \u0218i pe c\u00e2t? Pe doi lei?<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, c\u00e2nd eram fr\u00e2nt\u0103 de oboseal\u0103, a trecut badea Ilie, un b\u0103tr\u00e2n din sat care tr\u0103ise toat\u0103 via\u021ba din p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
S-a oprit l\u00e2ng\u0103 gardul imaginar \u0219i m-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u0103m\u00e2ntul nu-i mort, fat\u0103. Doar e fl\u0103m\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t a zis \u0219i a plecat.<\/p>\n
Vorbele lui mi-au r\u0103mas \u00een cap.<\/p>\n
Fl\u0103m\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na urm\u0103toare, m-am dus la prim\u0103rie. Am \u00eentrebat de programe pentru sere mici. De ajutor pentru legumicultori. Am f\u0103cut drumuri. Am completat h\u00e2rtii. Am stat la cozi.<\/p>\n
Unii m-au privit cu mil\u0103. Al\u021bii cu nep\u0103sare.<\/p>\n
Dar am primit aprobarea pentru o mic\u0103 finan\u021bare. Nu mult. Suficient pentru o ser\u0103 \u0219i un sistem simplu de iriga\u021bie.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a venit primul transport de folie \u0219i \u021bevi, tot satul a aflat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Teresa \u00ee\u0219i face solar!
\u2014 Pe pietrele alea?<\/p>\n
Am muncit toat\u0103 vara. Mi-am rupt palmele. Am f\u0103cut b\u0103\u0219ici. Am pl\u00e2ns noaptea de durere.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een toamn\u0103, \u00een solarul acela, au ap\u0103rut primele ro\u0219ii.<\/p>\n
Ro\u0219ii mari. C\u0103rnoase. Dulci.<\/p>\n
Le-am dus \u00een pia\u021b\u0103, \u00een ora\u0219. La \u00eenceput, lumea trecea pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine. Eram femeia cu batic negru, t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi au gustat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde sunt?
\u2014 Din Valea Sec\u0103turii.<\/p>\n
Unii au r\u00e2s. Dar au cump\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Cu primii bani, vreo 4.800 de lei str\u00e2n\u0219i \u00een c\u00e2teva luni, am mai pus un solar. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen al doilea an, nu mai vindeam doar ro\u0219ii. Aveam ardei, castrave\u021bi, salat\u0103, ceap\u0103 verde.<\/p>\n
\u00cen al treilea an, aveam contract cu un magazin din ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd m\u0103 \u00eentorceam de la pia\u021b\u0103 cu duba \u00eenchiriat\u0103 plin\u0103 de l\u0103zi goale, i-am v\u0103zut pe cumnatul cel mic \u0219i pe fratele lui la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
Se uitau peste gard.<\/p>\n
Unde fusese p\u0103m\u00e2nt cr\u0103pat, era acum verde c\u00e2t vedeai cu ochii. Solarii albe, r\u00e2nduri drepte, un pu\u021b forat cu pomp\u0103 nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am oprit.<\/p>\n
Au dat din cap, \u00eencurca\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai f\u0103cut treab\u0103\u2026 au morm\u0103it.<\/p>\n
N-am zis nimic.<\/p>\n
Nu mai aveam nevoie.<\/p>\n
\u00cen anul acela, la hramul satului, primarul m-a chemat pe scen\u0103. Mi-a dat o diplom\u0103 pentru \u201eexemplu de ambi\u021bie \u0219i munc\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dar diploma n-a fost victoria mea.<\/p>\n
Victoria a fost \u00een alt\u0103 zi.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 rece de prim\u0103var\u0103, c\u00e2nd am mers la cimitir cu un buchet de lalele din solarul meu. M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 crucea lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vezi? i-am \u0219optit. N-am avut nevoie de nimeni.<\/p>\n
V\u00e2ntul a trecut u\u0219or prin iarb\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valea Sec\u0103turii nu mai era o glum\u0103. Era locul care m-a ridicat.<\/p>\n
Iar eu nu mai eram femeia f\u0103r\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Eram Teresa Popescu. Femeia care a transformat batjocura \u00een p\u00e2ine, ru\u0219inea \u00een munc\u0103 \u0219i un petic de p\u0103m\u00e2nt uscat \u00eentr-un rost.<\/p>\n
\u0218i nimeni n-a mai r\u00e2s vreodat\u0103 de mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
