Maria a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat\u0103 pe patul de spital.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a salonului era \u00eentredeschis\u0103, iar Ion deja ie\u0219ise pe hol, convins c\u0103 ea \u00eel va urma. Pentru el totul p\u0103rea simplu: o lua acas\u0103, ea g\u0103tea, iar masa de s\u0103rb\u0103toare se \u021binea ca \u00een fiecare an.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een Maria ceva se schimbase.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, lini\u0219tea salonului i-a dat timp s\u0103 se g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i.<\/p>\n
La toate serile \u00een care venea obosit\u0103 de la serviciu \u0219i totu\u0219i se apuca de g\u0103tit.<\/p>\n
La toate mesele pline, la care ea nici m\u0103car nu apuca s\u0103 stea jos.<\/p>\n
La toate momentele c\u00e2nd cineva spunea: \u201eMaria g\u0103te\u0219te dumnezeie\u0219te\u201d, iar ea doar z\u00e2mbea \u0219i mai aducea un platou.<\/p>\n
\u0218i la faptul c\u0103 nimeni nu observase c\u0103 ea aproape c\u0103 se pr\u0103bu\u0219ise de oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doctorul intr\u0103 atunci \u00een salon.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Maria, cum v\u0103 sim\u021bi\u021bi azi?<\/p>\n
Femeia a ridicat privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai bine\u2026 cred.<\/p>\n
Medicul a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or, apoi s-a uitat la fi\u0219a ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sincer s\u0103 fiu, a\u021bi ajuns aici la limit\u0103. Epuizare puternic\u0103, febr\u0103 mare, organismul complet sl\u0103bit. Dac\u0103 mai continua\u021bi \u00een ritmul \u0103sta, nu e bine deloc.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 So\u021bul meu m\u0103 a\u0219teapt\u0103 jos\u2026 vrea s\u0103 merg acas\u0103. M\u00e2ine vin musafiri.<\/p>\n
Doctorul a ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 merge\u021bi acas\u0103? Ast\u0103zi?<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis dosarul \u0219i a spus calm:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu nu v\u0103 dau externare.<\/p>\n
Maria a sim\u021bit, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe zile, c\u0103 poate respira.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar dac\u0103 insist?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci semna\u021bi pe propria r\u0103spundere. Dar eu, ca medic, v\u0103 spun clar: ave\u021bi nevoie de odihn\u0103. Nu de g\u0103tit pentru zece persoane.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au c\u0103zut \u00een lini\u0219tea camerei ca ni\u0219te pietre.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a uitat spre geam. Afar\u0103 ningea lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen minte i-au ap\u0103rut imaginile de acas\u0103: masa lung\u0103 de pe verand\u0103, farfurii peste farfurii, sarmale, friptur\u0103, salat\u0103 boeuf, cozonaci.<\/p>\n
\u0218i ea alerg\u00e2nd de la aragaz la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Deodat\u0103 a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule doctor\u2026 atunci r\u0103m\u00e2n.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 zece minute telefonul ei suna.<\/p>\n
Ion.<\/p>\n
Maria a r\u0103spuns lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde e\u0219ti? Te a\u0219tept de jum\u0103tate de or\u0103! \u2014 se auzi vocea lui iritat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ion\u2026 eu nu plec azi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 nu pleci?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doctorul nu m\u0103 externeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce dac\u0103?! Ie\u0219i pe semn\u0103tur\u0103!<\/p>\n
Maria a respirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
Pe partea cealalt\u0103 a telefonului s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103\u2026 nu?<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een mul\u021bi ani, Maria a spus ceva ce nu mai spusese niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 sunt obosit\u0103, Ion. Foarte obosit\u0103. \u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 am de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar musafirii?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vor m\u00e2nca ce ai g\u0103tit tu.<\/p>\n
Ion a pufnit nervos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. Tu. Sau Olga. Sau comanda\u021bi de la restaurant.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva secunde nu s-a auzit nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Serios vorbe\u0219ti?<\/p>\n
Maria a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Foarte serios.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis telefonul.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani \u00eentregi, nu se sim\u021bea vinovat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Seara, asistenta i-a adus un ceai cald.<\/p>\n
Maria st\u0103tea sprijinit\u0103 de pern\u0103 \u0219i privea cum ninsoarea se a\u0219terne peste ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acela\u0219i timp, acas\u0103 la ea era agita\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Ion se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea prin buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Olga \u00eencerca s\u0103 fac\u0103 salata boeuf.<\/p>\n
Cineva ardea friptura.<\/p>\n
Copiii r\u00e2deau.<\/p>\n
Masa nu mai ar\u0103ta perfect ca \u00een fiecare an.<\/p>\n
Dar oamenii tot st\u0103teau la pove\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Maria nu era \u00een picioare l\u00e2ng\u0103 aragaz.<\/p>\n
Era lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile, c\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103, Ion a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat-o \u00een prag.<\/p>\n
Casa era \u00een regul\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar ceva era diferit.<\/p>\n
Ion s-a sc\u0103rpinat st\u00e2njenit \u00een ceaf\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii\u2026 salata nu ne-a ie\u0219it ca a ta.<\/p>\n
Maria a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 mir.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 e cam greu s\u0103 g\u0103te\u0219ti pentru at\u00e2\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Maria a ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n
Ion a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poate\u2026 data viitoare\u2026 facem mai simplu. Doar noi.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a uitat la el c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi a intrat \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a da, Ioane.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103, s\u0103rb\u0103torile lor au \u00eenceput s\u0103 semene cu ceva mult mai important dec\u00e2t o mas\u0103 plin\u0103.<\/p>\n
