Am sim\u021bit cum mi se taie picioarele.<\/p>\n
Dar am mers dup\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Cobor\u00e2rea \u00een beci a fost lung\u0103 \u0219i rece. Fiecare treapt\u0103 sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ia, de parc\u0103 m\u0103 avertiza s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc. Mirosul de umezeal\u0103 \u0219i lemn vechi \u00eemi umplea pl\u0103m\u00e2nii.<\/p>\n
Elena a aprins lumina.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba mea erau cutii. Multe cutii. Unele vechi, legate cu sfoar\u0103.<\/p>\n
A deschis una f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru \u2014 poze.<\/p>\n
Le-a \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
Era Gheorghe\u2026 dar nu era el.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2n\u0103r. Diferit. L\u00e2ng\u0103 o femeie pe care nu o recuno\u0219team.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0102sta e adev\u0103ratul meu tat\u0103, a spus Elena \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenv\u00e2rte totul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit acum 20 de ani. Accident. Exact cum \u021bi-a spus \u0219i el\u2026 doar c\u0103\u2026 nu era el cel care a supravie\u021buit.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci\u2026 cine e b\u0103rbatul de sus?<\/p>\n
Elena a deschis alt\u0103 cutie.<\/p>\n
Acte.<\/p>\n
Buletin vechi. Alt nume.<\/p>\n
Poze mai recente \u2014 acela\u0219i b\u0103rbat pe care \u00eel \u0219tiam, dar sub alt\u0103 identitate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 L-am descoperit acum c\u00e2\u021biva ani, a spus ea. N-am \u0219tiut ce s\u0103 fac. M-a crescut\u2026 m-a iubit\u2026 dar nu e tat\u0103l meu.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i se prelingeau pe obraji.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce n-ai spus nimic p\u00e2n\u0103 acum?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103\u2026 mi-a fost team\u0103 s\u0103 nu pierd tot. Dar tu\u2026 tu nu meri\u021bi s\u0103 fii min\u021bit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, u\u0219a beciului s-a deschis brusc.<\/p>\n
Am tres\u0103rit am\u00e2ndou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Gheorghe st\u0103tea \u00een prag.<\/p>\n
Ne-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
Nu mai avea nicio masc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u021bi aflat, a spus simplu.<\/p>\n
N-am \u0219tiut ce s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine e\u0219ti? am \u00eentrebat cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A cobor\u00e2t \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Un om care a f\u0103cut o gre\u0219eal\u0103 acum 20 de ani\u2026 \u0219i apoi \u00eenc\u0103 una\u2026 \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 una.<\/p>\n
S-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fost acolo, \u00een noaptea accidentului. Prieten cu tat\u0103l ei. Eram beat. Eu conduceam.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai pot respira.<\/p>\n
\u2014 El a murit. Eu am tr\u0103it. \u0218i\u2026 am fugit de tot. De poli\u021bie. De vin\u0103. De mine.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i ai decis s\u0103-i iei via\u021ba? am spus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La \u00eenceput, doar m-am ascuns. Apoi\u2026 am ajuns la ea. Era mic\u0103. Singur\u0103. \u0218i\u2026 am r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
Elena pl\u00e2ngea \u00een hohote.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-ai min\u021bit toat\u0103 via\u021ba!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te-am crescut. Te-am iubit, a spus el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e acela\u0219i lucru!<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum lacrimile \u00eemi curg.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu? am \u00eentrebat. Ce am fost pentru tine?<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O \u0219ans\u0103\u2026 s\u0103 fac \u0219i eu ceva bun \u00eenainte s\u0103 fie prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Minciuna nu e ceva bun.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103\u2026 l-am v\u0103zut pr\u0103bu\u0219indu-se.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
Am urcat \u00eencet sc\u0103rile.<\/p>\n
Fiecare pas era greu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen curte, lumea \u00eenc\u0103 r\u00e2dea, vorbea, m\u00e2nca. Nimeni nu \u0219tia ce s-a rupt.<\/p>\n
Am luat buchetul de flori \u0219i l-am l\u0103sat pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-a ajuns din urm\u0103, nu m-am \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria\u2026 te rog\u2026<\/p>\n
M-am oprit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am m\u0103ritat azi cu un om pe care nu-l cunosc.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar nu o s\u0103 mai r\u0103m\u00e2n l\u00e2ng\u0103 un str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
Mi-am scos verigheta.<\/p>\n
Am l\u0103sat-o \u00een palma lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Du-te \u0219i spune adev\u0103rul. M\u0103car o dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 uit \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, am aflat c\u0103 s-a predat la poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Elena m-a sunat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A f\u0103cut-o\u2026 a spus tot.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n
Nu era un final fericit.<\/p>\n
Dar era un final drept.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, la 72 de ani\u2026 uneori asta e tot ce ai nevoie ca s\u0103 po\u021bi merge mai departe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
