Clara sim\u021bea c\u0103 i se rupe lumea \u00een dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce t\u0103cere? a \u0219optit, abia auzit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Matei nu s-a gr\u0103bit s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103. S-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun, ca un om care a dus prea mult timp o povar\u0103 \u0219i nu mai poate s\u0103 o \u021bin\u0103 \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
Focul trosnea \u00een sob\u0103. Afar\u0103, v\u00e2ntul lovea pere\u021bii cabanei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru, lini\u0219tea devenise grea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama ta n-a murit cum \u021bi s-a spus, zise el \u00een cele din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Clara a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit\u2026 de boal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Matei a dat \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a \u021bi-a spus tat\u0103l t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Un fior rece i-a trecut pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci cum\u2026?<\/p>\n
Matei a deschis \u00eencet cutia viorii. Lemnul era vechi, dar \u00eengrijit. A trecut degetele peste ea, cu un respect aproape dureros.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama ta \u0219tia ceva. Ceva ce putea s\u0103-l bage pe tat\u0103l t\u0103u la pu\u0219c\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Clara a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu e adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A lucrat ani de zile \u00een min\u0103, nu? a continuat el. Dar nu doar at\u00e2t. Era \u0219i cel care ducea socotelile.<\/p>\n
Clara a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tia fiecare leu. Fiecare datorie. Fiecare \u00een\u0219el\u0103torie.<\/p>\n
Matei a ridicat privirea spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iar tat\u0103l t\u0103u nu era doar un om \u00eendatorat. Era un om care fura.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 \u0219opti Clara.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fura din salariile oamenilor. Din marfa adus\u0103. Din banii trimi\u0219i pentru familii. \u0218i c\u00e2nd mama ta a vrut s\u0103 spun\u0103 adev\u0103rul\u2026<\/p>\n
S-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Clara nu mai respira.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit \u00een aceea\u0219i noapte, a spus Matei, \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i-au izbucnit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le mai poat\u0103 opri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 a vrut s-o omoare sau doar s-o opreasc\u0103. Dar adev\u0103rul e c\u0103 a murit din cauza lui.<\/p>\n
Clara s-a sprijinit de mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tot ce \u0219tia se destr\u0103ma.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i scrisoarea? \u00eentreb\u0103 ea printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Matei a ridicat h\u00e2rtia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A \u00eencercat s\u0103 \u021bi-o distrug\u0103. Eu am luat-o \u00eenainte s\u0103 o arunce.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nu e\u0219ti ca el.<\/p>\n
A fost pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd vocea lui a devenit cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i pentru c\u0103 nu meritai s\u0103 pl\u0103te\u0219ti pentru p\u0103catele lui.<\/p>\n
Clara l-a privit. Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai vedea un str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 c\u0103s\u0103toria asta?<\/p>\n
Matei a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A fost singura cale. Dac\u0103 refuzam, \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103sea alt\u0103 solu\u021bie. Te-ar fi v\u00e2ndut altcuiva. Sau mai r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a, te-am adus aici. Departe de el.<\/p>\n
Clara a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Banii sunt ai t\u0103i, continu\u0103 el. Pentru drum. Pentru Bucure\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
A \u00eempins punga spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iar m\u00e2ine\u2026 te duc la gar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Clara a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Nu de fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu de durere.<\/p>\n
Ci de u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 tot \u00eentunericul, vedea, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, o ie\u0219ire.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, drumul spre ora\u0219 a fost lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd au ajuns la gar\u0103, trenul era deja acolo.<\/p>\n
Clara s-a \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce m-ai ajutat?<\/p>\n
Matei a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 cineva trebuia.<\/p>\n
A urcat \u00een tren cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2nd puternic.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd u\u0219ile s-au \u00eenchis, l-a mai v\u0103zut o dat\u0103 pe peron.<\/p>\n
Singur.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eemp\u0103cat.<\/p>\n
Clara a str\u00e2ns scrisoarea la piept.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba ei abia \u00eencepea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103, era cu adev\u0103rat a ei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
