A luat telefonul \u0219i s-a uitat la poza Anei, care \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eei era fundal. Ea z\u00e2mbea, cu lumina aceea \u00een ochi care f\u0103cea totul s\u0103 par\u0103 mai u\u0219or\u2026<\/p>\n
Lumina aceea din ochii Anei \u00eel urm\u0103rea \u0219i acum.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe a l\u0103sat telefonul pe birou \u0219i \u0219i-a acoperit fa\u021ba cu m\u00e2inile. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 doi ani, nu mai sim\u021bea doar gol. Sim\u021bea team\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru el.<\/p>\n
Pentru Mariana.<\/p>\n
Pentru copilul care urma s\u0103 vin\u0103 pe lume f\u0103r\u0103 tat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, a ajuns la firm\u0103 mai devreme. Hala din Ploie\u0219ti era \u00eenc\u0103 rece, iar muncitorii abia \u00eencepeau s\u0103 apar\u0103. Mariana a intrat timid\u0103, cu ochii umfla\u021bi, dar cu spatele drept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Putem vorbi? a \u00eentrebat el simplu.<\/p>\n
Au intrat \u00een birou.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe nu a stat pe ocolite.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi m\u0103resc salariul. Cu 1.500 de lei \u00een plus, \u00eencep\u00e2nd de luna asta. \u0218i c\u00e2nd o s\u0103 intri \u00een concediu maternal, prime\u0219ti tot ce \u021bi se cuvine. F\u0103r\u0103 discu\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Mariana l-a privit ca \u0219i cum nu \u00een\u021belegea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule\u2026 sunt prea mul\u021bi bani\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu sunt bani arunca\u021bi. Sunt pentru lini\u0219tea ta.<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 din nou, dar altfel. Mai lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut. Gheorghe a \u00eenceput s-o duc\u0103 acas\u0103 uneori, ca s\u0103 fie sigur c\u0103 ajunge bine. A aflat c\u0103 st\u0103tea \u00eentr-o garsonier\u0103 mic\u0103, \u00eentr-un bloc vechi, la marginea ora\u0219ului. Mobil\u0103 pu\u021bin\u0103. Pere\u021bi goi. Pe frigider, o singur\u0103 ecografie prins\u0103 cu magnet.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, a r\u0103mas \u00een prag mai mult dec\u00e2t trebuia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai pe cineva? P\u0103rin\u021bi? Fra\u021bi? a \u00eentrebat el.<\/p>\n
Mariana a cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama a murit. Tata nu vrea s\u0103 aud\u0103 de mine de c\u00e2nd a aflat.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe a sim\u021bit iar str\u00e2ngerea aceea \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea n-a dormit.<\/p>\n
A doua zi a luat o decizie care i-a schimbat via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
A chemat un notar.<\/p>\n
Apoi a chemat-o pe Mariana \u00een birou.<\/p>\n
Ea a intrat speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat ceva?<\/p>\n
Gheorghe a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. S-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat c\u0103 nu vreau ca acel copil s\u0103 creasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 un sprijin. Dac\u0103 e\u0219ti de acord\u2026 vreau s\u0103-i fiu tat\u0103.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Mariana a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce\u2026 ce spune\u021bi?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu din mil\u0103. Nu din obliga\u021bie. Din alegere. \u0218tiu ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 pierzi. \u0218tiu ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i singur \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 prea mare. Nu vreau s\u0103 mai tr\u0103iesc a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i-au curs Marianei pe obraji.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar lumea o s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Gheorghe a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lumea vorbe\u0219te oricum. S\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 rece de noiembrie, la maternitatea din Ploie\u0219ti, s-a auzit primul pl\u00e2nset.<\/p>\n
Un b\u0103ie\u021bel.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe l-a \u021binut \u00een bra\u021be cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde. C\u00e2nd copilul i-a str\u00e2ns degetul cu pumnul mic, ceva din el s-a vindecat.<\/p>\n
L-au numit Andrei.<\/p>\n
La botez, curtea casei a fost plin\u0103. Colegi, vecini, oameni care alt\u0103dat\u0103 ar fi \u0219optit pe la col\u021buri, acum z\u00e2mbeau larg.<\/p>\n
Mariana st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, \u021bin\u00e2nd copilul.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe s-a uitat spre cer o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vezi, Ana? a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Nu mai era doar un v\u0103duv cu o cas\u0103 mare \u0219i lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Era tat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu a mai b\u0103ut un pahar ca s\u0103 uite.<\/p>\n
A b\u0103ut unul ca s\u0103 s\u0103rb\u0103toreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
