Elena \u00ee\u0219i ap\u0103s\u0103 u\u0219or po\u0219eta la piept \u0219i oft\u0103 ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
Nu voia s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba Andreei. Nu dup\u0103 tot ce f\u0103cuse fata pentru ea \u00een ultimii ani.<\/p>\n
Dar g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 urma s\u0103 fie dus\u0103 \u00eentr-un azil \u00eei sf\u00e2\u0219ia inima.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintea cum, \u00een tinere\u021be, jurase c\u0103 nu va ajunge niciodat\u0103 \u201eo povar\u0103\u201d pentru nimeni. Via\u021ba \u00eens\u0103 avea obiceiul s\u0103 \u00eentoarc\u0103 lucrurile pe dos.<\/p>\n
Ma\u0219ina ie\u0219i din ora\u0219.<\/p>\n
Elena privi pe geam c\u00e2mpurile verzi \u0219i casele rare de la marginea drumului. Cu fiecare kilometru, stomacul i se str\u00e2ngea tot mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai avem mult? \u00eentreb\u0103 ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu foarte, mam\u0103 \u2014 r\u0103spunse Andreea calm.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Nicio explica\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Niciun detaliu.<\/p>\n
Iar t\u0103cerea aceea o f\u0103cea pe Elena s\u0103 se g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la ce era mai r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 aproape o or\u0103, ma\u0219ina \u00eencetini \u00een fa\u021ba unei por\u021bi mari din fier forjat.<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eenghi\u021bi \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele por\u021bii se vedea o curte frumoas\u0103, plin\u0103 de flori \u0219i pomi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici e\u2026? \u00eentreb\u0103 ea cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andreea opri motorul \u0219i se \u00eentoarse spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, mam\u0103. Am ajuns.<\/p>\n
Elena sim\u021bi c\u0103 \u00eei fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u00cencerc\u0103 s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103, dar ochii i se umpluser\u0103 deja de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu e u\u0219or\u2026 spuse ea \u00eencet. Dar poate e mai bine a\u0219a. N-o s\u0103 mai fiu singur\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Andreea o privi c\u00e2teva secunde f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00eencepu s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 u\u0219or printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 tu chiar crezi c\u0103 te duc la azil?<\/p>\n
Elena clipi confuz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u0103i\u2026 geamantanul\u2026 drumul\u2026 doctorul\u2026<\/p>\n
Andreea cobor\u00ee repede din ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i veni l\u00e2ng\u0103 portiera ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai cu mine.<\/p>\n
Femeia b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 ie\u0219i \u00eencet, sprijinindu-se de bra\u021bul fiicei sale.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, poarta mare \u00eencepu s\u0103 se deschid\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena r\u0103mase f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba ei se afla o cas\u0103 superb\u0103, cu pridvor larg \u0219i ferestre albe, exact cum visase toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Pe peretele din fa\u021b\u0103 era ag\u0103\u021bat\u0103 o pl\u0103cu\u021b\u0103 de lemn pe care scria:<\/p>\n
\u201eAcas\u0103, mam\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu \u00een\u021beleg\u2026<\/p>\n
Andreea z\u00e2mbi printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am v\u00e2ndut apartamentul meu acum \u0219ase luni. \u0218i am luat casa asta pentru noi dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na o privea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 poat\u0103 scoate un cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 de ce?<\/p>\n
Andreea \u00eei str\u00e2nse m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd nimeni nu m-a vrut, tu m-ai primit \u00een casa ta. C\u00e2nd \u00eemi era fric\u0103 noaptea, tu st\u0103teai l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine. C\u00e2nd eram bolnav\u0103, tu nu dormeai deloc.<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Toat\u0103 lumea \u00eemi spunea c\u0103 sunt doar \u201ecopilul luat de la casa de copii\u201d. Dar tu mi-ai spus mereu c\u0103 sunt fiica ta.<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eencepu s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een hohote.<\/p>\n
Andreea continu\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum a venit r\u00e2ndul meu s\u0103 am grij\u0103 de tine. Nu te las nic\u0103ieri. C\u00e2t tr\u0103iesc eu, casa ta e l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, u\u015fa casei se deschise.<\/p>\n
Din\u0103untru ie\u0219ir\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva vecini \u0219i rude apropiate.<\/p>\n
Pe masa mare din curte erau sarmale, cozonac \u0219i flori.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een mijloc trona un tort simplu pe care scria:<\/p>\n
\u201eMul\u021bumim pentru tot, mam\u0103 Elena.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena izbucni din nou \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Dar de data aceasta erau lacrimi de fericire.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu mai sim\u021bea fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu mai sim\u021bea singur\u0103tate.<\/p>\n
Se uit\u0103 la Andreea \u0219i v\u0103zu aceea\u0219i feti\u021b\u0103 speriat\u0103 pe care o \u021binuse \u00een bra\u021be cu zeci de ani \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doar c\u0103 acum crescuse.<\/p>\n
\u0218i se \u00eentorsese s\u0103-i dea \u00eenapoi toat\u0103 iubirea pe care o primise.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Elena st\u0103tu pe pridvor, cu o p\u0103tur\u0103 pe genunchi \u0219i o can\u0103 de ceai fierbinte \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
R\u00e2setele se auzeau din curte.<\/p>\n
Mirosul de cozonac cald plutea \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
Iar b\u0103tr\u00e2na ridic\u0103 ochii spre cer \u0219i \u0219opti \u00eencet:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, Doamne\u2026 c\u0103 nu am fost uitat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andreea ie\u0219i afar\u0103 \u0219i se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte, \u00ee\u0219i sprijini capul pe um\u0103rul mamei sale.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00een\u021belesese, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, un lucru simplu:<\/p>\n
Familia adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu se na\u0219te din s\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
