\u2026m-am trezit \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103 \u00eenaintea tuturor.<\/p>\n
Casa era lini\u0219tit\u0103. Se auzea doar ceasul din buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i, din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd, c\u00e2te o ma\u0219in\u0103 trec\u00e2nd pe strad\u0103. \u00cemi f\u0103ceam o cafea mic\u0103, la ibric, a\u0219a cum obi\u0219nuiam s\u0103-i fac \u0219i lui Ion, Dumnezeu s\u0103-l odihneasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
M\u0103 uitam pe geam \u0219i m\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam cum am ajuns aici.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 via\u021ba am muncit. Am crescut un copil, am \u021binut o cas\u0103, am str\u00e2ns bani la ciorap ca s\u0103 ne permitem un concediu la mare, la Eforie, o dat\u0103 la c\u00e2\u021biva ani. Nu m-am pl\u00e2ns niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar acum, la b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021be, ajunsesem s\u0103 primesc ordine.<\/p>\n
Nora mea, Alina, nu era un om r\u0103u. Dar era comod\u0103. Obi\u0219nuit\u0103 s\u0103 primeasc\u0103, nu s\u0103 ofere. C\u00e2nd mi-a pus \u00een bra\u021be lista de cump\u0103r\u0103turi \u0219i mi-a spus: \u201eS\u0103 nu ui\u021bi nimic, c\u0103 vin prietenii no\u0219tri \u0219i vreau s\u0103 ias\u0103 totul perfect\u201d, am sim\u021bit ceva \u00een piept. Nu de oboseal\u0103. De durere.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru lipsa de respect.<\/p>\n
Am mers la pia\u021b\u0103, am luat tot ce trebuia: carne, legume, cozonaci, vin. Am pl\u0103tit din pensia mea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun nimic. Aproape 600 de lei s-au dus \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen drum spre cas\u0103, mi-am f\u0103cut un plan.<\/p>\n
Nu aveam de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 \u021bip. Nici s\u0103 plec sup\u0103rat\u0103. Lec\u021biile adev\u0103rate se dau cu calm.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Ajunul Cr\u0103ciunului, casa era plin\u0103 de miros de sarmale, friptur\u0103 \u0219i cozonac. Am g\u0103tit tot. Am f\u0103cut \u0219i salat\u0103 boeuf, cum \u00eei pl\u0103cea fiului meu c\u00e2nd era mic.<\/p>\n
Alina se plimba prin cas\u0103, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 frumos, d\u00e2nd indica\u021bii. \u201ePune farfuriile cele bune.\u201d \u201eAranjeaz\u0103 \u0219erve\u021belele.\u201d \u201eS\u0103 nu ui\u021bi s\u0103 \u0219tergi masa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Seara, au venit musafirii. R\u00e2sete, pahare ciocnite, muzic\u0103 rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 \u00een surdin\u0103. To\u021bi l\u0103udau masa.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamne, ce bun\u0103 e friptura!\u201d
\u201eCine a f\u0103cut sarmalele?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alina z\u00e2mbea larg \u0219i spunea: \u201eAm avut ajutor.\u201d<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Ajutor.<\/p>\n
Atunci m-am ridicat \u00eencet de la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dres vocea.<\/p>\n
\u201eDragilor, m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 v\u0103 place m\u00e2ncarea. Eu am g\u0103tit tot. Cu mare drag. \u0218i m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 suntem \u00eempreun\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Nu era repro\u0219 \u00een vocea mea. Doar adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Apoi am continuat:<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i pentru c\u0103 tot e Cr\u0103ciunul, am vrut s\u0103 fac \u0219i eu un mic anun\u021b. Din ianuarie, m\u0103 mut \u00eenapoi \u00een apartamentul meu. L-am pus la punct \u00een ultimele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Am g\u0103sit \u0219i o doamn\u0103 care s\u0103 stea cu mine din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd, dac\u0103 am nevoie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fiul meu s-a uitat la mine speriat.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, de ce? Te-a sup\u0103rat cineva?\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit iar.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu, dragul meu. Dar o mam\u0103 nu vine \u00een casa copilului ca s\u0103 fie slug\u0103. Vine s\u0103 fie familie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu.<\/p>\n
Alina s-a \u00eenro\u0219it. Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai avea replic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eEu\u2026 nu am vrut s\u0103 par\u2026\u201d, a \u00eenceput ea.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu\u201d, i-am spus bl\u00e2nd. \u201eDar respectul nu se spune. Se arat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am scos din geant\u0103 un plic.<\/p>\n
\u201eAici sunt 600 de lei. At\u00e2t au costat cump\u0103r\u0103turile. E pensia mea pe o lun\u0103. Nu vreau s\u0103 fie datorie \u00eentre noi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fiul meu aproape c\u0103 s-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, cum s\u0103 pl\u0103te\u0219ti tu?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu pl\u0103tesc. \u00cemi p\u0103strez demnitatea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Se vedea c\u0103-l doare. \u0218i pe el, \u0219i pe ea.<\/p>\n
Dar uneori durerea e singurul lucru care te treze\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Seara s-a terminat altfel dec\u00e2t se a\u0219teptau to\u021bi. Mai lini\u0219tit\u0103. Mai sincer\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce au plecat musafirii, Alina a venit la mine \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie. F\u0103r\u0103 machiajul de siguran\u021b\u0103 de mai devreme. Doar ea.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cemi pare r\u0103u\u201d, a spus \u00eencet. \u201eCred c\u0103 m-am obi\u0219nuit prea mult s\u0103 primesc ajutor \u0219i am uitat s\u0103 spun mul\u021bumesc.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am privit-o lung.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e t\u00e2rziu s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Din ianuarie m-am mutat acas\u0103. \u00cen apartamentul meu mic, dar al meu. Mi-am pus perdele noi \u0219i mu\u0219cate la geam. Fiul meu vine \u00een fiecare duminic\u0103 la mine la mas\u0103. De data asta, el spal\u0103 vasele.<\/p>\n
Alina aduce desertul.<\/p>\n
\u0218i de fiecare dat\u0103, \u00eenainte s\u0103 plece, m\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eaz\u0103 \u0219i spune:<\/p>\n
\u201eMul\u021bumesc pentru tot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nu pentru sarmale.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru bani.<\/p>\n
Pentru lec\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Iar eu am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva la r\u00e2ndul meu: nu e niciodat\u0103 prea t\u00e2rziu s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi aperi demnitatea. Nici la 30 de ani, nici la 70.<\/p>\n
