\u0218i acolo\u2026 a stat.<\/p>\n
Pe un scaun mic, l\u00e2ng\u0103 birou.<\/p>\n
Cu genunchii str\u00e2n\u0219i la piept, cu p\u0103rul prins \u00eentr-o codi\u021b\u0103 exact cum \u00eei f\u0103ceam eu diminea\u021ba, \u00eenainte de \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria.<\/p>\n
Nu o copie. Nu o asem\u0103nare.<\/p>\n
Maria mea.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, lumea s-a oprit. Nu mai auzeam nimic. Nici respira\u021bia mea, nici pa\u0219ii din hol. Doar b\u0103taia inimii, care \u00eemi urla \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a ridicat capul.<\/p>\n
Ochii ei mari, c\u0103prui, m-au g\u0103sit imediat.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
A s\u0103rit de pe scaun \u0219i a fugit spre mine.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Nu de fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
De ne\u00eencredere.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu se poate\u2026\u201d, am murmurat.<\/p>\n
Dar ea s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba mea \u0219i mi-a apucat m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n
Erau calde.<\/p>\n
Calde.<\/p>\n
Nu reci, nu goale. Calde \u0219i tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103, unde ai fost? M-am speriat\u2026 m-au dus la alt\u0103 clas\u0103\u2026 nu te-am mai g\u0103sit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremura. Exact cum f\u0103cea c\u00e2nd era mic\u0103 \u0219i se r\u0103t\u0103cea prin magazin.<\/p>\n
Directorul a tu\u0219it u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamn\u0103 Ionescu\u2026 am g\u0103sit-o \u00een curte. Spunea c\u0103 a \u00eent\u00e2rziat la ore. Dar\u2026 dumneavoastr\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi situa\u021bia\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Nu mai auzeam.<\/p>\n
Am pus m\u00e2na pe obrazul ei.<\/p>\n
Avea o zg\u00e2rietur\u0103 mic\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 spr\u00e2ncean\u0103.<\/p>\n
Exact locul unde c\u0103zuse de pe biciclet\u0103\u2026 cu o zi \u00eenainte s\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Mi s-au \u00eenmuiat picioarele.<\/p>\n
\u201eTu\u2026 \u00ee\u021bi aminte\u0219ti?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat cu glas stins.<\/p>\n
\u201eNormal c\u0103 \u00eemi amintesc\u201d, a spus ea, mirat\u0103. \u201eDe ce pl\u00e2ngi?\u201d<\/p>\n
Am izbucnit.<\/p>\n
Am str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be cu toat\u0103 for\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Mirosul ei. Pielea ei. Respira\u021bia ei.<\/p>\n
Nu era vis.<\/p>\n
Nu era nicio \u021beap\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era copilul meu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen u\u0219\u0103 a ap\u0103rut Mihai.<\/p>\n
Respira greu, ca \u0219i cum alergase.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut-o\u2026 s-a oprit ca lovit de tr\u0103snet.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a desprins din bra\u021bele mele \u0219i s-a uitat la el.<\/p>\n
\u201eTati?\u201d<\/p>\n
El n-a spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Doar a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba i s-a schimbat. Nu era bucurie.<\/p>\n
Era\u2026 groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Un g\u00e2nd rece mi-a trecut prin minte.<\/p>\n
\u201eMihai\u2026\u201d, am spus \u00eencet. \u201eTu \u0219tiai.\u201d<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu a\u0219a trebuia s\u0103 fie\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCe nu trebuia s\u0103 fie?!\u201d, am strigat.<\/p>\n
Maria se uita de la unul la altul, speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mihai \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen ziua aia\u2026 accidentul\u2026 nu a fost chiar cum \u021bi s-a spus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se taie respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u201eCum adic\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMaria n-a murit atunci.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camera s-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eEra grav r\u0103nit\u0103, dar tr\u0103ia. Doctorii au spus c\u0103 are \u0219anse mici\u2026 \u0219i\u2026 \u0219i eu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Vocea i s-a rupt.<\/p>\n
\u201eEu am semnat s\u0103 fie transferat\u0103 \u00eentr-un program experimental. Era o \u0219ans\u0103. Mic\u0103. Dar era ceva.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i\u2026 \u0219i nu mi-ai spus?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eTu nu mai erai \u00een stare de nimic\u2026 abia te \u021bineai pe picioare\u2026 dac\u0103 murea acolo\u2026 nu mai rezistai\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum furia \u0219i durerea se amestec\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i m-ai l\u0103sat s\u0103 o \u00eengrop?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eEra alt copil\u2026 o identificare gre\u0219it\u0103\u2026 eu\u2026 eu am acceptat\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Greu de dus.<\/p>\n
\u201eA fost \u00een com\u0103 aproape doi ani\u201d, a continuat el. \u201eAzi diminea\u021b\u0103\u2026 m-au sunat. S-a trezit. A fugit. A vrut acas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria m-a apucat de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMam\u0103\u2026 de ce e tati sup\u0103rat?\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la ea.<\/p>\n
Vie.<\/p>\n
Acolo.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 doi ani de \u00eentuneric.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eengenuncheat \u00een fa\u021ba ei \u0219i i-am \u0219ters lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e sup\u0103rat, puiule\u2026 doar\u2026 ne-a fost foarte dor de tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai pl\u00e2ngea \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu mai era doar durere.<\/p>\n
Era \u0219i lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu perfect\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu f\u0103r\u0103 cicatrici.<\/p>\n
Dar real\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-am str\u00e2ns copilul \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i am \u0219tiut un lucru sigur:<\/p>\n
Uneori, via\u021ba te love\u0219te f\u0103r\u0103 mil\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar, rar\u2026 foarte rar\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u021bi mai d\u0103 o \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
