Elena a sim\u021bit c\u0103 tot salonul o privea.<\/p>\n
Muzica era oprit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Paharele r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu mai \u00eendr\u0103znea s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria tremura \u00een fa\u021ba ei, iar rimelul i se scurgea pe obraji.<\/p>\n
Elena a f\u0103cut un pas spre fat\u0103, dar aceasta s-a retras imediat.<\/p>\n
Gestul acela i-a sf\u00e2\u0219iat sufletul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti fata mea\u2026 \u2014 a spus Elena cu voce rupt\u0103. \u2014 Te-am crescut de c\u00e2nd erai c\u00e2t palma mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar nu mi-ai spus adev\u0103rul! a \u021bipat Maria.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sal\u0103 se auzea doar pl\u00e2nsul ei.<\/p>\n
Radu nu era acolo.<\/p>\n
Disp\u0103ruse de ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
Dar umbra lui tocmai distrusese cea mai important\u0103 zi din via\u021ba fetei.<\/p>\n
Elena \u0219i-a \u0219ters lacrimile \u0219i a privit direct spre ecranul \u00eenc\u0103 aprins.<\/p>\n
Atunci \u0219i-a amintit ceva.<\/p>\n
Ceva ce \u00eencercase s\u0103 uite ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, c\u00e2nd Radu disp\u0103ruse cu copilul, ea mersese disperat\u0103 la poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Dar nimeni n-o b\u0103gase \u00een seam\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eProbabil e cu tat\u0103l ei\u201d, \u00eei spusese un agent plictisit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 trei zile, Radu revenise agitat, cu hainele murdare \u0219i cu o poveste ciudat\u0103 despre ni\u0219te oameni care \u00eel atacaser\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eel crezuse.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 era t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 era speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00eel iubea.<\/p>\n
Dar acum\u2026 toate piesele \u00eencepeau s\u0103 se lege.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria\u2026 ascult\u0103-m\u0103\u2026 \u2014 a spus ea tremur\u00e2nd. \u2014 Eu nu am \u0219tiut nimic. Jur pe via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
Fata a ridicat ochii spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen privirea aceea era durere.<\/p>\n
Dar \u0219i speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci, din spatele s\u0103lii, s-a auzit vocea unei femei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea spune adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi s-au \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
La intrare st\u0103tea o femeie elegant\u0103, trecut\u0103 de cincizeci de ani, cu p\u0103rul blond prins perfect \u0219i cu ochii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 ea era un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum.<\/p>\n
Femeia a f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu sunt Adriana Dumitrescu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sal\u0103 s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te total\u0103.<\/p>\n
Numele era cunoscut.<\/p>\n
Familie bogat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Afaceri.<\/p>\n
Vile.<\/p>\n
Bani.<\/p>\n
Mul\u021bi bani.<\/p>\n
Femeia s-a apropiat \u00eencet de Maria.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu sunt femeia care trebuia s\u0103 te ia atunci.<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit c\u0103 ame\u021be\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Maria a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta?<\/p>\n
Adriana a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu puteam avea copii. So\u021bul meu era disperat. Cineva ne-a spus de Radu. Ne-a cerut bani\u2026 \u0219i ne-a promis c\u0103 ne aduce o feti\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Un murmur greu a trecut prin sal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar c\u00e2nd am v\u0103zut copilul\u2026 \u2014 a continuat femeia \u2014 am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 ceva nu era \u00een regul\u0103. Aveai febr\u0103. Pl\u00e2ngeai continuu dup\u0103 mama ta.<\/p>\n
Elena izbucni \u00een lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Adriana \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am fost cea care a dus-o la spital. \u0218i eu am refuzat s\u0103 o iau. I-am spus lui Radu c\u0103 e nebun. C\u0103 fata are mam\u0103. C\u0103 niciun ban nu poate cump\u0103ra un copil.<\/p>\n
Maria asculta f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 respire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar de ce n-a\u021bi spus nimic at\u00e2\u021bia ani? a \u00eentrebat ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Femeia \u0219i-a plecat capul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a fost fric\u0103. So\u021bul meu m-a obligat s\u0103 tac. Apoi el a murit. Iar eu\u2026 n-am avut curaj s\u0103 apar p\u00e2n\u0103 azi.<\/p>\n
Elena \u0219i-a acoperit fa\u021ba cu palmele.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 via\u021ba se \u00eenvinov\u0103\u021bise pentru noaptea aceea.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 via\u021ba se \u00eentrebase dac\u0103 fusese o mam\u0103 suficient de bun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i acum afla c\u0103, de fapt, luptase singur\u0103 \u00eempotriva unui monstru.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a uitat lung la Elena.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00eencet, s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu chiar n-ai \u0219tiut?<\/p>\n
Elena a c\u0103zut \u00een genunchi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 a\u0219 fi \u0219tiut\u2026 muream \u00eenainte s\u0103 las pe cineva s\u0103 te ia de l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
Fata a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u0219i ea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde au r\u0103mas doar una \u00een fa\u021ba celeilalte.<\/p>\n
Mam\u0103 \u0219i fiic\u0103.<\/p>\n
R\u0103nite.<\/p>\n
Obosite.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi Maria s-a aruncat \u00een bra\u021bele ei.<\/p>\n
Salonul \u00eentreg a izbucnit \u00een lacrimi \u0219i aplauze.<\/p>\n
Elena o str\u00e2ngea at\u00e2t de tare, de parc\u0103 se temea c\u0103 o va pierde din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu e\u0219ti mama mea \u2014 a \u0219optit Maria printre suspine. \u2014 Nu h\u00e2rtia aia. Nu banii. Tu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, unul dintre b\u0103ie\u021bii care se ocupau de muzic\u0103 a pornit \u00eencet melodia pentru vals.<\/p>\n
O melodie simpl\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
Rom\u00e2neasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria \u0219i-a \u0219ters lacrimile.<\/p>\n
Machiajul era distrus.<\/p>\n
Coafura aproape desf\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 sincer \u00een seara aceea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 dans\u0103m, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena a izbucnit iar \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Au dansat am\u00e2ndou\u0103 \u00een mijlocul salonului, \u00een timp ce to\u021bi oamenii din jur le priveau \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Nu mai conta rochia.<\/p>\n
Nu mai conta datoria f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru petrecere.<\/p>\n
Nu mai conta ru\u0219inea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00een seara aceea Maria aflase adev\u0103rul cel mai important:<\/p>\n
Nu s\u00e2ngele cre\u0219te un copil.<\/p>\n
Ci iubirea, foamea r\u0103bdat\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103, nop\u021bile nedormite \u0219i m\u00e2inile muncite care nu l-au l\u0103sat niciodat\u0103 singur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
