\u00cen camer\u0103 s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te grea, de parc\u0103 nimeni nu mai \u00eendr\u0103znea s\u0103 respire.<\/p>\n
M\u0103tu\u0219a Lenu\u021ba st\u0103tea \u00een mijlocul sufrageriei, cu ochii mari \u0219i goi, privind cutia deschis\u0103 din m\u00e2inile ei tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
Unchiul Mihai s-a aplecat \u0219i a ridicat scrisoarea de pe jos.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe scrie acolo?\u201d a \u00eentrebat cineva \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Dar el nu a r\u0103spuns imediat. A citit \u00een t\u0103cere c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri, apoi a ridicat privirea spre Lenu\u021ba. Expresia lui se schimbase complet.<\/p>\n
Nu mai era doar confuzie.<\/p>\n
Era dezam\u0103gire.<\/p>\n
\u201eCite\u0219te cu voce tare,\u201d i-am spus.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiu de unde am avut curajul. Poate din privirea bunicii, care \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eemi r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00een minte.<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba a cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu pot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Unchiul Mihai a \u00eenceput s\u0103 citeasc\u0103 el:<\/p>\n
\u201eDragii mei,<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 citi\u021bi asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu mai sunt. \u0218i \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 cineva a ales s\u0103 ia ceea ce nu \u00eei apar\u021binea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba a izbucnit:<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e adev\u0103rat! Nu e\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eLas\u0103-l s\u0103 termine,\u201d a spus tata, rar \u0219i ap\u0103sat.<\/p>\n
Mihai a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiam de mult c\u0103 inelul meu st\u00e2rne\u0219te dorin\u021be. De aceea, am f\u0103cut o copie exact\u0103 acum c\u00e2teva luni. Originalul nu mai era pe degetul meu \u00een ultimele zile.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi ochii s-au \u00eentors spre Lenu\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Ea \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na instinctiv la buzunar.<\/p>\n
\u201eCopia\u2026,\u201d a murmurat Mihai, \u201ea r\u0103mas pe degetul meu p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ziua \u00een care cineva a decis s\u0103 o ia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Un fior rece a trecut prin camer\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eIar adev\u0103ratul inel,\u201d a continuat el, \u201ese afl\u0103 \u00een aceast\u0103 cutie \u0219i va fi oferit celui care a \u00een\u021beles ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 familia, nu celui care a vrut doar str\u0103lucirea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a deschis larg cutia de catifea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru, pe o pern\u0103 mic\u0103, st\u0103tea diamantul.<\/p>\n
Mai frumos dec\u00e2t \u00eel \u021bineam minte.<\/p>\n
Real.<\/p>\n
Greu.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u0218i clar\u2026 nu era cel din buzunarul Lenu\u021bei.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026\u201d a \u0219optit ea, d\u00e2nd un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Dar Mihai nu terminase:<\/p>\n
\u201eIar pentru cel care a ales s\u0103 fure\u2026 am l\u0103sat o lec\u021bie. \u00cen buzunarul hainei tale se afl\u0103 o copie f\u0103r\u0103 valoare. Dar mai important, \u00een inimile celor din jur vei r\u0103m\u00e2ne f\u0103r\u0103 valoare dac\u0103 nu recuno\u0219ti ce ai f\u0103cut.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camera a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Se auzea doar ceasul de pe perete.<\/p>\n
Tick. Tack.<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. Nu teatral, ca la \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare.<\/p>\n
Alt fel de pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Unul rupt, sincer\u2026 sau poate doar speriat.<\/p>\n
A scos \u00eencet inelul din buzunar \u0219i l-a pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eEu\u2026 doar\u2026 am crezut c\u0103\u2026,\u201d a b\u00e2iguit.<\/p>\n
Dar nimeni nu a mai \u00eentrebat nimic.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai avea cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Nu mai avea scuze.<\/p>\n
Tata s-a apropiat de Mihai \u0219i a luat cutia.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u201eBunica \u0219tia,\u201d a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u0218tiam \u0219i eu.<\/p>\n
Privirea aia\u2026 z\u00e2mbetul \u0103la\u2026 nu fusese \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u021ai l-a l\u0103sat \u021bie,\u201d a continuat el.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas blocat.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu pot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eBa da,\u201d a spus Mihai. \u201eTu ai fost singurul care a v\u0103zut \u0219i n-a judecat atunci. Ai avut r\u0103bdare. Ai respectat momentul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi dau lacrimile.<\/p>\n
Am luat cutia cu m\u00e2ini nesigure.<\/p>\n
Diamantul str\u0103lucea lini\u0219tit, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 nu mai p\u0103rea doar o bijuterie.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rea\u2026 o responsabilitate.<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba a ie\u0219it din camer\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00eencet \u00een urma ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cumva, \u00een acel moment, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 bunica \u00eenc\u0103 era acolo.<\/p>\n
Nu \u00een inel.<\/p>\n
Ci \u00een lec\u021bia pe care o l\u0103sase.<\/p>\n
C\u0103 nu tot ce luce\u0219te e al t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u0103, mai devreme sau mai t\u00e2rziu\u2026 adev\u0103rul iese la lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
