\u2026\u0219i mi-a \u0219optit repede, cu fa\u021ba ro\u0219ie:<\/p>\n
\u201eBunico\u2026 rochia asta\u2026 e alb\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas \u00eencremenit\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat \u00een jos, la mine, ca \u0219i cum o vedeam pentru prima dat\u0103. Era \u00eentr-adev\u0103r alb\u0103. Un alb simplu, curat, f\u0103r\u0103 paiete sau dantel\u0103 exagerat\u0103. Eu o v\u0103zusem doar ca pe o rochie frumoas\u0103, elegant\u0103, potrivit\u0103 pentru o zi special\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een jur\u2026 to\u021bi ochii erau pe mine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
La nun\u021bi, albul e pentru mireas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eN-am \u0219tiut\u2026\u201d, am murmurat, sim\u021bind cum \u00eemi arde fa\u021ba. \u201eAm crezut c\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Nu am mai continuat. Vocea mi s-a pierdut.<\/p>\n
Nepoata mea a oftat u\u0219or, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 nu m\u0103 r\u0103neasc\u0103. \u201eNu e vina ta\u2026 doar c\u0103\u2026 oamenii vorbesc deja.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un gol \u00een stomac. Toat\u0103 bucuria cu care venisem, emo\u021bia de a o vedea mireas\u0103\u2026 parc\u0103 se risipiser\u0103 \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 vrei, plec\u201d, am spus \u00eencet. \u201eNu vreau s\u0103 stric ziua ta.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ea m-a privit lung. Pentru o secund\u0103, am v\u0103zut copilul de alt\u0103dat\u0103 \u00een ochii ei \u2013 feti\u021ba care venea la mine \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i m\u0103 ajuta s\u0103 fac pl\u0103cinte.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu pleca\u201d, a spus. \u201eTe rog.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar vocea ei era \u00eenc\u0103 tensionat\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am retras \u00eentr-un col\u021b al s\u0103lii. Muzica c\u00e2nta, oamenii r\u00e2deau, paharele se ciocneau\u2026 dar pentru mine, totul devenise \u00eendep\u0103rtat.<\/p>\n
M\u0103 sim\u021beam mic\u0103. Stingher\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am stat a\u0219a c\u00e2teva minute bune, privind lumea din jur. Apoi, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau seama, o femeie s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n
Era mireasa.<\/p>\n
Nepoata mea.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i ridicase u\u0219or rochia ca s\u0103 poat\u0103 merge mai repede \u0219i s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
\u201eBunico\u201d, a spus ea mai bl\u00e2nd de data asta.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat privirea, preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103-mi cer din nou scuze.<\/p>\n
Dar ea a f\u0103cut ceva la care nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptam.<\/p>\n
M-a luat de m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tii de ce m-a deranjat la \u00eenceput?\u201d a spus \u00eencet. \u201ePentru c\u0103 mi-a fost fric\u0103 de ce zic oamenii.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am clipit, surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDar apoi mi-am dat seama\u2026 c\u0103 tu ai venit aici ca s\u0103 te sim\u021bi frumoas\u0103. \u0218i e\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile pe loc.<\/p>\n
\u201eSerios, bunico\u201d, a continuat ea. \u201eToat\u0103 via\u021ba ai avut grij\u0103 de al\u021bii. Azi e prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd te-am v\u0103zut aranjat\u0103 a\u0219a\u2026 \u0219i sincer\u2026 radiezi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun ceva, dar nu am putut.<\/p>\n
\u201eCine are o problem\u0103 cu asta\u2026 s\u0103 aib\u0103\u201d, a mai spus ea, ridic\u00e2nd din umeri. \u201eE nunta mea. \u0218i eu vreau s\u0103 te am aici. A\u0219a cum e\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Nu de ru\u0219ine, ci de u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
Ea m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at str\u00e2ns, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i pese c\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i \u0219ifoneaz\u0103 rochia.<\/p>\n
\u201eHai\u201d, mi-a spus apoi z\u00e2mbind. \u201eVii s\u0103 dansezi cu mine?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eEu? La v\u00e2rsta mea?\u201d am \u00eentrebat, \u0219terg\u00e2ndu-mi lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u201eMai ales la v\u00e2rsta ta\u201d, a r\u00e2s ea.<\/p>\n
M-a tras u\u0219or spre ringul de dans.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput, oamenii \u00eenc\u0103 se uitau. Dar de data asta\u2026 nu mai conta.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 nu mai eram femeia care gre\u0219ise aleg\u00e2nd o rochie nepotrivit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Eram bunica ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, m\u0103 sim\u021beam din nou frumoas\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
