\u2026am v\u0103zut multe, dar s\u0103 las o femeie cu copilul \u00een drum, asta nu pot, spuse b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Alexandra ridic\u0103 ochii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul st\u0103tea sprijinit de poart\u0103. Avea p\u0103rul alb, spatele pu\u021bin adus \u0219i o privire bl\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Cum te cheam\u0103, fata mea?<\/p>\n
\u2013 Alexandra\u2026 iar el e Andrei.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul o \u021binea str\u00e2ns de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i se uita speriat c\u00e2nd la mam\u0103, c\u00e2nd la str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Hai \u00een curte, c\u0103 e frig diminea\u021ba. Bem un ceai \u0219i poveste\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Curtea era simpl\u0103, dar \u00eengrijit\u0103. Un nuc mare f\u0103cea umbr\u0103 peste o mas\u0103 de lemn. Undeva cotcod\u0103ceau g\u0103inile.<\/p>\n
Alexandra sim\u021bi pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een ultimele zile c\u0103 poate respira.<\/p>\n
\u00cen buc\u0103t\u0103ria mic\u0103 mirosea a lemn ars \u0219i a ceai de tei.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Spune acum\u2026 ce te-a adus pe aici?<\/p>\n
\u0218i Alexandra a \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
A povestit despre Nicolae.<\/p>\n
Despre datorii.<\/p>\n
Despre cum v\u00e2nduse c\u0103su\u021ba de la \u021bar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Despre cum, \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 zi, r\u0103m\u0103sese f\u0103r\u0103 cas\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 bani \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 viitor.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul asculta f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o \u00eentrerup\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doar uneori cl\u0103tina din cap.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a terminat, \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Greu\u2026 foarte greu, spuse el.<\/p>\n
Alexandra \u00ee\u0219i \u0219terse ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu cer mult. Doar c\u00e2teva zile\u2026 p\u00e2n\u0103 g\u0103sesc ceva de munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul z\u00e2mbi u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2013 C\u00e2teva zile? Fata mea\u2026 la mine nu se num\u0103r\u0103 zilele.<\/p>\n
Alexandra \u00eel privi nedumerit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Casa e mare. Eu sunt singur. De c\u00e2nd a murit nevasta, vorbesc mai mult cu pisica dec\u00e2t cu oamenii.<\/p>\n
Andrei z\u00e2mbi pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd auzi de pisic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Avem pisic\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Avem! \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 una lene\u0219\u0103 r\u0103u, r\u00e2se b\u0103tr\u00e2nul.<\/p>\n
Apoi deveni serios.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Dac\u0103 vrei, po\u021bi r\u0103m\u00e2ne aici. Nu cer bani. Doar s\u0103 ai grij\u0103 de cas\u0103\u2026 \u0219i s\u0103 mai vorbe\u0219ti cu un b\u0103tr\u00e2n.<\/p>\n
Alexandra nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nu pot s\u0103 stau degeaba\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nici nu o s\u0103 stai. Satul are nevoie de oameni. Magazinul caut\u0103 v\u00e2nz\u0103toare, \u0219coala caut\u0103 femeie de serviciu. Se g\u0103se\u0219te ceva.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe zile, Alexandra sim\u021bi c\u0103 lumina intr\u0103 din nou \u00een via\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
Au trecut s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n
Alexandra s-a angajat la magazinul din sat.<\/p>\n
Nu c\u00e2\u0219tiga mult \u2013 cam 2.400 de lei pe lun\u0103 \u2013 dar era suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 pun\u0103 m\u00e2ncare pe mas\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 str\u00e2ng\u0103 pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Andrei mergea la gr\u0103dini\u021ba din sat \u0219i venea acas\u0103 murdar de praf \u0219i fericit.<\/p>\n
Iar b\u0103tr\u00e2nul, pe care to\u021bi \u00eel strigau nea Ion, parc\u0103 \u00eentinerise.<\/p>\n
Seara st\u0103teau to\u021bi trei \u00een curte.<\/p>\n
Vorbeau.<\/p>\n
R\u00e2deau.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba \u00eencepea s\u0103 se a\u0219eze.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi.<\/p>\n
Po\u0219ta\u0219ul a venit cu o scrisoare.<\/p>\n
De la Nicolae.<\/p>\n
Alexandra o \u021binea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i sim\u021bea cum \u00eei tremur\u0103 degetele.<\/p>\n
Nea Ion o privi calm.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Deschide-o.<\/p>\n
\u00cen scrisoare erau doar c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri.<\/p>\n
Nicolae \u00eei cerea iertare.<\/p>\n
Spunea c\u0103 plecase din \u021bar\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 o ia de la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u0103 o roag\u0103 s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alexandra a citit scrisoarea de dou\u0103 ori.<\/p>\n
Apoi a mers \u00een curte.<\/p>\n
Andrei se juca l\u00e2ng\u0103 nuc.<\/p>\n
Nea Ion cur\u0103\u021ba ni\u0219te mere.<\/p>\n
Alexandra a rupt scrisoarea \u00een dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00een patru.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00een buc\u0103\u021bi mici.<\/p>\n
Le-a aruncat \u00een sob\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fl\u0103c\u0103rile le-au mistuit \u00een c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Unele u\u0219i trebuie \u00eenchise pentru totdeauna, spuse ea lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nea Ion d\u0103du din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2013 A\u0219a e.<\/p>\n
Andrei alerg\u0103 spre ea \u0219i o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alexandra \u00eel str\u00e2nse la piept \u0219i privi cerul senin de deasupra satului.<\/p>\n
Uneori, c\u00e2nd pierzi totul\u2026 via\u021ba \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 ceva mult mai valoros.<\/p>\n
Un nou \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
