B\u0103iatul a ezitat o secund\u0103, apoi \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile una \u00een alta, de parc\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea curaj.<\/p>\n
\u201eM\u0103 cheam\u0103 Andrei\u201d, a spus. \u201eEl\u2026 Daniel\u2026 venea la mine de doi ani.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde venea?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat, cu o voce care nu mai era a mea.<\/p>\n
\u201eLa centrul de copii\u2026 la casa de tip familial de la marginea ora\u0219ului. Eu\u2026 eu nu mai am pe nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au c\u0103zut greu, ca ni\u0219te pietre.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiam nimic despre asta. Nimic.<\/p>\n
Daniel nu pomenise niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i de ce venea la tine?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez calmul.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u201eLa \u00eenceput venea cu ni\u0219te pachete. M\u00e2ncare, haine\u2026 chestii. Dup\u0103 aia\u2026 st\u0103tea de vorb\u0103 cu mine. M\u0103 ajuta la teme. \u00cemi mai aducea c\u0103r\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum m\u0103 \u00een\u021beap\u0103 ochii.<\/p>\n
\u0102sta era Daniel. A\u0219a fusese mereu. Dar\u2026 de ce nu mi-a spus?<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i\u2026 de ce \u021bi-a zis asta?\u201d, am continuat.<\/p>\n
Andrei a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 eu nu voiam s\u0103 plec de acolo. Mi-era fric\u0103. \u0218i el mi-a zis c\u0103 dac\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva\u2026 dumneavoastr\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 ajuta\u021bi. C\u0103 nu o s\u0103 m\u0103 l\u0103sa\u021bi singur.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
M\u0103 vedeam pe mine, cu c\u00e2teva ore \u00eenainte, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-l de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ambulan\u021b\u0103. Rug\u00e2ndu-l s\u0103 nu plece.<\/p>\n
\u0218i el\u2026 \u00een tot timpul \u0103sta\u2026 f\u0103cea promisiuni altcuiva.<\/p>\n
Am deschis ochii \u0219i m-am uitat la b\u0103iat.<\/p>\n
Nu era nici manipulare, nici minciun\u0103 \u00een privirea lui. Doar team\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde stai acum?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u201eTot acolo\u201d, a spus. \u201eDar\u2026 o s\u0103 m\u0103 mute cur\u00e2nd. La alt centru.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tiu ce s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
Totul era prea mult.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aceea nu i-am promis nimic. Nu puteam. Eram pierdut\u0103 \u00een propria durere.<\/p>\n
Dar i-am cerut un num\u0103r de telefon.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 zile mai t\u00e2rziu, m-am dus.<\/p>\n
Casa era mic\u0103, la marginea ora\u0219ului, cu gard vechi \u0219i curte ne\u00eengrijit\u0103. Exact genul de loc pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 care treci f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l bagi \u00een seam\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat o doamn\u0103 obosit\u0103, dar cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDaniel venea des\u201d, mi-a spus. \u201eNu vorbea mult despre el, dar\u2026 se vedea c\u0103 \u021bine la b\u0103iat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am intrat.<\/p>\n
Andrei st\u0103tea la o mas\u0103, cu un caiet \u00een fa\u021b\u0103. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, s-a ridicat brusc.<\/p>\n
\u201eA\u021bi venit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
Ne-am a\u0219ezat unul \u00een fa\u021ba celuilalt.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce eu?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat direct.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut o clip\u0103, apoi a spus:<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 vorbea despre dumneavoastr\u0103 tot timpul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum ceva \u00een mine se rupe.<\/p>\n
\u201eZicea c\u0103 sunte\u021bi cel mai bun om pe care \u00eel cunoa\u0219te.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n
Nu tare. Nu dramatic.<\/p>\n
Doar\u2026 lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile care au urmat, am tot mers.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput din obliga\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Apoi\u2026 din dor.<\/p>\n
\u00cel ajutam la teme. \u00cei duceam m\u00e2ncare. Mai st\u0103team de vorb\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, l-am \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 ai putea alege\u2026 unde ai vrea s\u0103 stai?\u201d<\/p>\n
A ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u201eUndeva unde nu trebuie s\u0103 plec din nou.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
Nu a fost u\u0219or. H\u00e2rtii. Drumuri. Semn\u0103turi. O gr\u0103mad\u0103 de u\u0219i \u00eenchise \u0219i oameni care te privesc cu suspiciune.<\/p>\n
Dar n-am renun\u021bat.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 Daniel nu renun\u021base.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Andrei a venit acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Prima sear\u0103 a fost ciudat\u0103. T\u0103cere. Emo\u021bii. Pa\u0219i nesiguri.<\/p>\n
Dar diminea\u021ba\u2026<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut cafea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau seama, am pus dou\u0103 c\u0103ni pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am oprit.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la ele.<\/p>\n
Apoi am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Andrei a intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, somnoros.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 diminea\u021ba\u201d, a spus.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 diminea\u021ba\u201d, i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Nu \u00eel pierdusem pe Daniel complet.<\/p>\n
O parte din el r\u0103m\u0103sese.<\/p>\n
Chiar acolo, \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria mea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu m-am mai sim\u021bit singur\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
