Elena a \u00eenchis ochii c\u00e2teva secunde \u0219i a l\u0103sat v\u00e2ntul s\u0103-i loveasc\u0103 obrajii.<\/p>\n
\u00cen telefon, Andrei respira greu.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu mai vorbea ca un \u0219ef.<\/p>\n
Vorbea ca un copil care pierduse controlul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, r\u0103spunde-mi! Ce-ai f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce n-ai f\u0103cut tu niciodat\u0103 pentru mine, Andrei. M-am g\u00e2ndit \u0219i eu la mine.<\/p>\n
A urmat o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Din dep\u0103rtare se auzea pesc\u0103ru\u0219ii \u0219i motoarele vaporului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adic\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adic\u0103 am v\u00e2ndut casa acum trei luni.<\/p>\n
Andrei aproape a \u021bipat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 ai v\u00e2ndut-o?! Casa lui tata?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Casa mea \u0219i a tat\u0103lui t\u0103u. Pl\u0103tit\u0103 \u00een rate dou\u0103zeci \u0219i \u0219apte de ani. Cu ture duble la spital \u0219i cu m\u00e2inile mele muncite.<\/p>\n
Cristina s-a auzit \u00een fundal:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00centreab-o unde sunt banii!<\/p>\n
Elena a r\u00e2s pentru prima dat\u0103 sincer dup\u0103 foarte mult timp.<\/p>\n
Un r\u00e2s scurt, dar viu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Banii sunt exact unde trebuie s\u0103 fie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, ai \u00eennebunit? Noi ce facem acum?<\/p>\n
\u201eNoi\u201d.<\/p>\n
Deodat\u0103 exista \u201enoi\u201d.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd era de sp\u0103lat, de g\u0103tit, de \u00eengrijit bolnavi \u0219i animale, exista doar \u201etu\u201d.<\/p>\n
Elena s-a sprijinit de balustrada vaporului.<\/p>\n
\u00cen jurul ei, oameni de v\u00e2rsta ei f\u0103ceau poze, beau cafea \u0219i r\u00e2deau.<\/p>\n
O femeie cu p\u0103rul alb dansa descul\u021b\u0103 pe punte.<\/p>\n
Un b\u0103rbat \u00ee\u0219i \u021binea so\u021bia de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci Elena a \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu \u0219i dureros:<\/p>\n
Nu era prea t\u00e2rziu s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, m\u0103car spune-mi unde o s\u0103 stai c\u00e2nd te \u00eentorci.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc.<\/p>\n
Andrei a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Ea a continuat calm:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen plic ai contractul. Casa a fost cump\u0103rat\u0103 de o familie t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103 cu trei copii. Se mut\u0103 luna viitoare. Iar o parte din bani au intrat \u00eentr-un cont pe numele meu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i restul?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Restul s-au dus pe croaziera asta \u0219i pe \u00eenc\u0103 ceva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce anume?<\/p>\n
Elena a privit marea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe libertatea mea.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis telefonul \u00eenainte s\u0103 mai aud\u0103 repro\u0219uri.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, Andrei a sunat de zeci de ori.<\/p>\n
Mesaje.<\/p>\n
Voce.<\/p>\n
Vinov\u0103\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Furie.<\/p>\n
Apoi rug\u0103min\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Cristina chiar i-a scris:<\/p>\n
\u201eNe-ai f\u0103cut de r\u00e2s \u00een fa\u021ba familiei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena nu a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
\u00cen schimb, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
A m\u00e2ncat la restaurant f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite la pre\u021buri.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a cump\u0103rat o p\u0103l\u0103rie ro\u0219ie.<\/p>\n
A dormit p\u00e2n\u0103 la nou\u0103 diminea\u021ba f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 aud\u0103 pe nimeni strig\u00e2nd \u201emamaaa\u201d.<\/p>\n
A cunoscut oameni.<\/p>\n
O v\u0103duv\u0103 din Ia\u0219i care \u00eencepuse s\u0103 picteze la 70 de ani.<\/p>\n
Un fost mecanic din Ploie\u0219ti care c\u0103l\u0103torea dup\u0103 ce copiii \u00eei v\u00e2nduser\u0103 apartamentul pe ascuns.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi aveau aceea\u0219i triste\u021be ascuns\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ani \u00eentregi tr\u0103iser\u0103 pentru al\u021bii.<\/p>\n
\u0218i aproape uitaser\u0103 c\u0103 existau \u0219i ei.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, vaporul a trecut printr-o furtun\u0103 puternic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valurile loveau geamurile.<\/p>\n
Mul\u021bi pasageri s-au speriat.<\/p>\n
Dar Elena st\u0103tea lini\u0219tit\u0103 cu o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 ea trecuse deja prin furtuni mai rele.<\/p>\n
Boal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Umilin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Singur\u0103tate \u00een propria cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, telefonul a vibrat iar.<\/p>\n
Era Andrei.<\/p>\n
Dar vocea lui era schimbat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Obosit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Ea n-a r\u0103spuns imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce e?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Papagalul a murit.<\/p>\n
Elena a ridicat o spr\u00e2ncean\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Veterinarul a zis c\u0103 era b\u0103tr\u00e2n \u0219i bolnav. Dar\u2026 \u00eenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103, tot repeta ceva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce anume?<\/p>\n
Andrei a t\u0103cut c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eLas-o s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge pieptul.<\/p>\n
Apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Poate c\u0103 pas\u0103rea auzise mai multe dec\u00e2t crezuser\u0103 to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Sau poate c\u0103 via\u021ba avea uneori un fel ciudat de a pune lucrurile la locul lor.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Elena a trimis o singur\u0103 fotografie familiei.<\/p>\n
Era pe o plaj\u0103 din Grecia.<\/p>\n
Bronzat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Z\u00e2mbitoare.<\/p>\n
Cu cerceii de perle la urechi \u0219i cu picioarele goale \u00een nisip.<\/p>\n
Sub poz\u0103 a scris doar at\u00e2t:<\/p>\n
\u201eNu sunt inutil\u0103. Doar c\u0103 am uitat prea mult timp s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc pentru mine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
