\u2026\u00een care ap\u0103rea ea, z\u00e2mbitoare, \u00eenconjurat\u0103 de colegii ei din liceu.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat mai atent. Era o poz\u0103 veche, din timpul anilor de \u0219coal\u0103, dar \u00eenr\u0103mat\u0103 frumos, ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost f\u0103cut\u0103 ieri. \u00cen col\u021b, cu litere mici, scria: \u201ePromo\u021bia 2003 \u2013 Colegiul din Pite\u0219ti\u201d. Sub poz\u0103, cineva scrisese de m\u00e2n\u0103: \u201eNe-a lipsit doar ea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum m\u0103 str\u00e2nge ceva \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentors fotografia \u0219i am g\u0103sit un bile\u021bel. Era de la o coleg\u0103 de-a ei, Mariana: \u201eAm vrut s\u0103 fie aici m\u0103car a\u0219a. To\u021bi am \u00eentrebat de tine. Sper\u0103m c\u0103 e\u0219ti bine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen momentul \u0103la mi-am dat seama c\u00e2t de mare prostie f\u0103cusem.<\/p>\n
Ea nu mersese la \u00eent\u00e2lnire din cauza mea. Nu pentru c\u0103 nu \u0219i-ar fi dorit. Nu pentru c\u0103 \u00eei era ru\u0219ine. Ci pentru c\u0103 eu, cu vorbele mele aruncate aiurea, \u00eei t\u0103iasem tot curajul.<\/p>\n
Am l\u0103sat fotografia pe mas\u0103 \u0219i am mers \u00een sufragerie. Ea st\u0103tea pe canapea, cu o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, privind \u00een gol. Nu pl\u00e2ngea. Dar t\u0103cerea ei spunea mai mult dec\u00e2t orice lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A venit un pachet pentru tine, am spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
A dat din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 priveasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 L-am deschis\u2026 am continuat. Era o fotografie.<\/p>\n
A clipit rar, apoi \u0219i-a \u00eentors capul spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, a spus. Mi-au zis c\u0103 o s\u0103-mi trimit\u0103 ceva.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 n-ai mers?<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut c\u00e2teva secunde. Apoi a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu\u2026 poate. Dar nu mai conteaz\u0103 acum.<\/p>\n
Ba conta. \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 cum.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare n-am mai putut s\u0103 stau lini\u0219tit. Imaginea aia nu-mi ie\u0219ea din cap: ea, lipsind dintr-un loc unde ar fi trebuit s\u0103 fie. Din cauza mea.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 caut. Am dat telefoane, am intrat pe grupuri de Facebook, am \u00eentrebat \u00een st\u00e2nga \u0219i-n dreapta. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 am g\u0103sit-o pe Mariana.<\/p>\n
I-am explicat situa\u021bia, pe scurt. La \u00eenceput a fost rezervat\u0103, dar c\u00e2nd i-am spus c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 repar gre\u0219eala, a oftat \u0219i mi-a zis:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite\u2026 ne mai vedem o dat\u0103, mai restr\u00e2ns, c\u00e2\u021biva dintre noi. Nu e oficial, dar dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 o aduci\u2026 vino.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se d\u0103 o \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara respectiv\u0103, am ajuns acas\u0103 mai devreme. Ea era \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, f\u0103cea ni\u0219te sarmale. Mirosul era ca la mama acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Preg\u0103te\u0219te-te, i-am spus.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la mine mirat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ie\u0219im \u00een ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu am chef\u2026 a zis \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat de ea \u0219i i-am luat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te rog. De data asta, las\u0103-m\u0103 pe mine.<\/p>\n
A ezitat. Dar p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 a oftat \u0219i a mers \u00een dormitor.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ie\u0219it, era \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 simplu, dar frumos. Exact a\u0219a cum \u00eemi aminteam c\u0103 era la \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Am urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun prea multe. Drumul a fost t\u0103cut. Dar nu era t\u0103cerea aia rece. Era altceva\u2026 mai bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba restaurantului, s-a uitat la firm\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu se poate\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da, am spus eu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru, la o mas\u0103 mare, erau c\u00e2\u021biva oameni care s-au ridicat imediat c\u00e2nd au v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite-o! a strigat Mariana.<\/p>\n
So\u021bia mea a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde. Apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. Dar nu de triste\u021be.<\/p>\n
S-a dus spre ei, i-au \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at, au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 to\u021bi deodat\u0103, s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103, s\u0103-\u0219i aminteasc\u0103. Parc\u0103 timpul se d\u0103duse \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Eu am r\u0103mas pu\u021bin \u00een spate, privind.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, o vedeam cu adev\u0103rat fericit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva ore, c\u00e2nd ne-am \u00eentors acas\u0103, s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u0219i mi-a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een cuv\u00e2ntul \u0103la era tot.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat atunci ceva simplu, dar greu: uneori, nu trebuie s\u0103 tai aripile omului de l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine doar pentru c\u0103 \u021bie \u021bi se pare mai comod a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 lini\u0219tea de moment poate costa bucurii care nu se mai \u00eentorc.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, uneori, e nevoie doar de un pas mic\u2026 ca s\u0103 repari ceva ce ai stricat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u021bi dai seama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
