\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi fac un bine, i-am spus lini\u0219tit\u0103. Dac\u0103 tot e totul at\u00e2t de r\u0103u, n-are rost s\u0103 te mai chinui.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva rude au pufnit \u00een r\u00e2s, dar imediat s-au oprit c\u00e2nd au v\u0103zut c\u0103 eu nu glumesc.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a \u00eenro\u0219it la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, m\u0103i, c\u0103 am glumit \u0219i eu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Tu n-ai glumit. Tu ai venit aici doar ca s\u0103 umile\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Am luat farfuriile \u0219i le-am dus \u00eenapoi \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria de var\u0103. \u00cen spatele meu era o lini\u0219te de ziceai c\u0103 \u00eenghe\u021base curtea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-am \u00eentors, Andrei st\u0103tea \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
Nu-l mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103 at\u00e2t de sup\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Gata, ajunge, a spus el ap\u0103sat. Toat\u0103 seara ai f\u0103cut numai remarci \u0219i ai jignit-o pe Maria. Ai venit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 aju\u021bi cu nimic \u0219i te compor\u021bi de parc\u0103 e\u0219ti inspector la restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vai, nu mai po\u021bi de sensibilitate\u2026 a morm\u0103it C\u0103t\u0103lin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e vorba de sensibilitate. E vorba de bun-sim\u021b.<\/p>\n
Mama lui Andrei \u00eencerca s\u0103 calmeze situa\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, copii, termina\u021bi\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar Andrei a ridicat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, mam\u0103. Mereu ai f\u0103cut asta. Mereu l-ai l\u0103sat s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 ur\u00e2t \u0219i to\u021bi trebuia s\u0103 t\u0103cem ca s\u0103 nu ias\u0103 scandal.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a ridicat brusc de la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Serios? Acum eu sunt problema?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, tu e\u0219ti, i-am r\u0103spuns. Pentru c\u0103 un om educat nu vine \u00een casa altuia s\u0103 fac\u0103 pe superiorul.<\/p>\n
El a r\u00e2s scurt \u0219i r\u0103ut\u0103cios.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bine, m\u0103. Dac\u0103 v\u0103 sup\u0103ra\u021bi din at\u00e2t\u2026<\/p>\n
Atunci tata meu, care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci nu zisese nimic, \u0219i-a pus \u00eencet paharul pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Din \u201eat\u00e2t\u201d se str\u00e2nge o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103, b\u0103iete.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi au t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
Tata era omul care vorbea rar. Dar c\u00e2nd o f\u0103cea, \u00eel ascultau to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Femeia asta a muncit dou\u0103 zile pentru masa asta. A stat \u00een fum, \u00een c\u0103ldur\u0103, a f\u0103cut totul ca s\u0103 v\u0103 sim\u021bi\u021bi bine. Iar tu ai c\u0103utat numai nod \u00een papur\u0103. Asta spune multe despre caracter.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 nu mai avea replic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat ceva ce nimeni nu se a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n
Mama so\u021bului meu s-a ridicat \u0219i ea.<\/p>\n
Avea ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria g\u0103te\u0219te mai bine dec\u00e2t am g\u0103tit eu vreodat\u0103, a spus \u00eencet. \u0218i e prima femeie care l-a f\u0103cut pe Andrei fericit cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eentors capul surprins.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu mereu ai avut nevoie s\u0103 te sim\u021bi mai bun dec\u00e2t ceilal\u021bi, a continuat femeia. Mereu ai criticat pe toat\u0103 lumea. Dar s\u0103 \u0219tii ceva\u2026 omul care umile\u0219te la mas\u0103 nu e mai de\u0219tept. E doar singur.<\/p>\n
Vorbele au c\u0103zut greu peste to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin \u0219i-a luat geaca de pe sp\u0103tar f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai priveasc\u0103 pe nimeni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bine. Am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
A plecat spre poart\u0103, iar pietri\u0219ul trosnea sub pa\u0219ii lui.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu l-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, Andrei s-a apropiat de mine \u0219i m-a luat de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu tu trebuie s\u0103-\u021bi ceri scuze.<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar trebuia s\u0103-l opresc mai devreme.<\/p>\n
\u00cen curte, atmosfera \u00eencepea \u00eencet s\u0103 se dezghe\u021be. Cineva a pus muzic\u0103 \u00eencet de pe telefon. Mama mea a venit \u0219i m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 nu mai la\u0219i niciodat\u0103 pe nimeni s\u0103 te fac\u0103 s\u0103 te sim\u021bi mic\u0103, mi-a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 vreo jum\u0103tate de or\u0103, mesele s-au umplut din nou de r\u00e2sete.<\/p>\n
Iar lucrul care m-a emo\u021bionat cel mai tare a fost altceva.<\/p>\n
Farfuria cu Napoleon se terminase prima.<\/p>\n
Pilaful aproape disp\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n
Iar sarmalele \u00een foi de vi\u021b\u0103 nu mai r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 deloc.<\/p>\n
Unchiul Vasile \u0219i-a lins degetele \u0219i a r\u00e2s:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 asta e m\u00e2ncare proast\u0103, atunci eu vreau numai m\u00e2ncare proast\u0103 de acum \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 lumea a izbucnit \u00een r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een seara aceea, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 pot s\u0103 respir lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, dup\u0103 ce au plecat invita\u021bii \u0219i am r\u0103mas doar noi doi \u00een curte, Andrei a aprins luminile mici de sub foi\u0219or.<\/p>\n
M-a privit lung \u0219i a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii de ce te-am luat de so\u021bie?<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 faci o cas\u0103 s\u0103 par\u0103 acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se umplu ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen dep\u0103rtare se auzeau greierii, iar peste curte mirosea \u00eenc\u0103 a lemn ars \u0219i a vanilie.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu.<\/p>\n
Nu m\u00e2ncarea \u00eel deranjase pe C\u0103t\u0103lin.<\/p>\n
Ci faptul c\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, la masa aceea exista ceva ce el nu avusese niciodat\u0103: c\u0103ldur\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
