Am intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am \u00eencremenit. Pe masa mare, unde cu o zi \u00eenainte st\u0103team \u00eempreun\u0103 \u0219i vorbeam despre cum va ar\u0103ta tortul aniversar, era doar un castron spart, resturi de aluat \u0219i c\u00e2teva ou\u0103 zdrobite.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A aruncat tot, a spus el printre suspine. A zis c\u0103 doar femeile se joac\u0103 cu f\u0103ina. C\u0103 m\u0103 face de ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eencle\u0219teaz\u0103 maxilarul. Am respirat ad\u00e2nc, s\u0103 nu urlu de fa\u021b\u0103 cu el. \u00cen schimb, m-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 el pe jos, l-am luat \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i i-am \u0219optit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 B\u0103iatul meu, n-ai f\u0103cut nimic gre\u0219it. Ba din contr\u0103. E\u0219ti talentat. Bunica nu \u00een\u021belege, dar eu da. \u0218i n-o s\u0103 las pe nimeni s\u0103-\u021bi distrug\u0103 visurile.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, dup\u0103 ce l-am culcat, am intrat \u00een camera mamei. St\u0103tea pe fotoliu, cu bra\u021bele \u00eencruci\u0219ate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum ai putut? am \u00eentrebat, calm, dar ap\u0103sat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce? L-am salvat de la umilin\u021b\u0103. Cum s\u0103-\u021bi la\u0219i b\u0103iatul s\u0103 se comporte ca o fat\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 fii pasionat de ceva, s\u0103 munce\u0219ti, s\u0103 creezi, asta nu e ru\u0219ine. S\u0103 calci \u00een picioare bucuria unui copil \u2013 asta e.<\/p>\n
N-a zis nimic. Dar \u00een privirea ei se citea o \u00eenc\u0103p\u0103\u021b\u00e2nare oarb\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, mama a plecat mai devreme dec\u00e2t pl\u0103nuise. Nu ne-am certat. Dar i-am spus clar: dac\u0103 nu-\u0219i poate iubi nepotul a\u0219a cum este, nu e binevenit\u0103 s\u0103-l r\u0103neasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 plecarea ei, am mers cu fiul meu la pia\u021b\u0103. Am cump\u0103rat tot ce voia: ou\u0103 proaspete, unt de calitate, vanilie adev\u0103rat\u0103. \u0218i i-am zis:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 facem \u00eempreun\u0103 cel mai frumos tort pe care l-a v\u0103zut familia noastr\u0103 vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit. A fost prima oar\u0103, dup\u0103 dou\u0103 zile, c\u00e2nd l-am v\u0103zut din nou cu sc\u00e2nteia \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
Am lucrat cot la cot. El a amestecat creme, eu am t\u0103iat fructele. C\u00e2nd l-am v\u0103zut decor\u00e2nd cu at\u00e2ta migal\u0103, mi-au dat lacrimile. Era mic, dar m\u00e2inile \u00eei lucrau cu o siguran\u021b\u0103 de om mare. De artist.<\/p>\n
La ziua lui, prietenii \u0219i vecinii au fost uimi\u021bi. To\u021bi au \u00eentrebat: \u201eCine a f\u0103cut tortul?\u201d Iar el, cu un z\u00e2mbet timid, a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu. L-am f\u0103cut singur.<\/p>\n
A primit aplauze, \u0219i l-am v\u0103zut cum, pentru prima oar\u0103, st\u0103tea drept, m\u00e2ndru de el.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a apropiat de mine \u0219i mi-a spus la ureche:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 m-ai l\u0103sat s\u0103 fiu eu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea zi, mi-am dat seama c\u0103 nu conteaz\u0103 c\u00e2\u021bi oameni vor \u00eencerca s\u0103-i fr\u00e2ng\u0103 aripile. C\u00e2t timp va \u0219ti c\u0103 acas\u0103 are pe cineva care \u00eel sprijin\u0103, va zbura mereu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
