B\u0103iatul meu.<\/p>\n
Vlad al meu.<\/p>\n
Copilul pe care l-am n\u0103scut \u00eentr-o noapte de iarn\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul care pl\u00e2ngea c\u00e2nd g\u0103sea o pas\u0103re moart\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cel care m\u0103 s\u0103ruta pe frunte \u00eenainte s\u0103 plec la munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul pe care tocmai \u00eel \u00eensurasem \u00eentre flori, muzic\u0103 \u0219i aplauze.<\/p>\n
Mi-am cobor\u00e2t privirea spre Irina.<\/p>\n
Avea urme pe \u00eencheietur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Patru degete mov.<\/p>\n
Urma unei m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
A unei amenin\u021b\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Am acoperit-o cu cear\u0219aful.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Irina, mam\u0103\u2026 treze\u0219te-te.<\/p>\n
S-a mi\u0219cat pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
A deschis ochii greu.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, dar a gemut de durere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 v\u0103 rog\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt Maria.<\/p>\n
Ochii i s-au umplut de groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu de u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
De groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ca \u0219i cum \u0219i numele nostru o durea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde e Vlad? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n
O lacrim\u0103 i s-a scurs spre ureche.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-l l\u0103sa\u021bi s\u0103 intre.<\/p>\n
Mi s-au muiat picioarele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce \u021bi-a f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n
Irina a cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba po\u021bi. Sunt aici.<\/p>\n
M-a privit cu o triste\u021be care nu avea ce c\u0103uta pe chipul unei mirese.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rea o femeie care fugise toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219ti\u021bi cine e fiul dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fraza aia m-a lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t o palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am vrut s\u0103-l ap\u0103r.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 spun \u201eai grij\u0103 ce vorbe\u0219ti\u201d.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 fiu iar mama oarb\u0103 care fusesem mereu.<\/p>\n
Dar atunci s-a auzit vocea lui Vlad de jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103!<\/p>\n
Irina s-a f\u0103cut alb\u0103 ca varul.<\/p>\n
M-a prins de m\u00e2n\u0103 disperat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascunde\u021bi-m\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103 rog. Dac\u0103 afl\u0103 c\u0103 m-am trezit, o s\u0103 m\u0103 duc\u0103 la ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La cine?<\/p>\n
Irina s-a uitat spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi spre dulap.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 La cei care au pl\u0103tit nunta.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 se str\u00e2mb\u0103 toat\u0103 casa \u00een jurul meu.<\/p>\n
Jos, Vlad a strigat din nou:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103! E\u0219ti sus?<\/p>\n
Nu i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
Irina a b\u0103gat m\u00e2na sub pern\u0103 \u0219i a scos ceva \u00eenvelit \u00eentr-un \u0219erve\u021bel p\u0103tat de s\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
Mi l-a pus \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascunde\u021bi-l. Dac\u0103 p\u0103\u021besc ceva, da\u021bi-l poli\u021biei.<\/p>\n
\u00cenainte s\u0103-l pot deschide, am auzit pa\u0219ii lui Vlad urc\u00e2nd sc\u0103rile.<\/p>\n
\u00cencet.<\/p>\n
Greu.<\/p>\n
Ca \u0219i cum \u0219tia deja c\u0103 l-am descoperit.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se opre\u0219te inima.<\/p>\n
Pa\u0219ii lui Vlad se apropiau \u00eencet de u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Irina tremura at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t cear\u0219aful fo\u0219nea pe ea.<\/p>\n
Iar eu\u2026 eu \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eencercam s\u0103-mi conving mintea c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 existe o explica\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Orice mam\u0103 vrea s\u0103 cread\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n
C\u0103 b\u0103iatul ei nu poate fi monstrul din poveste.<\/p>\n
Dar camera vorbea singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am b\u0103gat repede obiectul p\u0103tat de s\u00e2nge \u00een buzunarul \u0219or\u021bului.<\/p>\n
Apoi am tras p\u0103tura mai bine peste Irina.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu scoate un sunet, i-am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a deschis f\u0103r\u0103 b\u0103taie.<\/p>\n
Vlad a intrat z\u00e2mbind.<\/p>\n
Dar c\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat, z\u00e2mbetul i-a murit instant.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce faci aici?<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea, mi-a fost fric\u0103 de propriul copil.<\/p>\n
Nu \u021bipa.<\/p>\n
Nu p\u0103rea beat.<\/p>\n
Era calm.<\/p>\n
\u0218i calmul \u0103la era mai r\u0103u dec\u00e2t orice scandal.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit s\u0103 v\u0103 trezesc, am spus.<\/p>\n
Vocea mi-a ie\u0219it ciudat de sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
Privirea lui a fugit imediat spre Irina.<\/p>\n
Apoi spre oglind\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103, fa\u021ba i s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
Furie.<\/p>\n
Rece.<\/p>\n
Animalic\u0103.<\/p>\n
A mers direct spre oglind\u0103 \u0219i a \u0219ters mesajul cu palma.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t s-a murd\u0103rit de ruj pe degete.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exagereaz\u0103, a spus scurt.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine exagereaz\u0103?<\/p>\n
El nici m\u0103car nu s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Irina. A f\u0103cut o scen\u0103 azi-noapte.<\/p>\n
Am privit-o pe fat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Avea ochii \u00eenchi\u0219i, dar lacrimile \u00eei curgeau pe t\u00e2mple.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O scen\u0103? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Vlad a oftat iritat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, nu \u00eencepe \u0219i tu. E sensibil\u0103. A b\u0103ut. S-a dezechilibrat.<\/p>\n
Atunci am v\u0103zut urmele de pe m\u00e2inile lui.<\/p>\n
Zg\u00e2rieturi.<\/p>\n
Piele rupt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu de accident.<\/p>\n
De lupt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut grea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vlad\u2026 ce ai f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n
\u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een privirea lui am v\u0103zut ceva ce nu mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dispre\u021b.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu mereu dramatizezi.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas spre pat.<\/p>\n
Irina s-a retras instant \u00een col\u021bul saltelei.<\/p>\n
De parc\u0103 trupul ei \u0219tia pericolul \u00eenaintea min\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Atunci ceva din mine s-a rupt.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 frica aia nu se poate preface.<\/p>\n
Nu a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Nu p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een oase.<\/p>\n
M-am pus \u00een fa\u021ba lui f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te apropii de ea.<\/p>\n
Vlad a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103-te la o parte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
Vocea mea a ie\u0219it mai puternic\u0103 dec\u00e2t m\u0103 sim\u021beam.<\/p>\n
Jos se auzeau rudele r\u00e2z\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Farfurii.<\/p>\n
Muzic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba mergea \u00eenainte sub acoperi\u0219ul unei case \u00een care ceva \u00eengrozitor tocmai ie\u0219ise la lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vlad \u0219i-a \u00eencle\u0219tat maxilarul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, nu \u00een\u021belegi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci explic\u0103-mi.<\/p>\n
A r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 urm\u0103 de umor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot acum.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 putea.<\/p>\n
Doar c\u0103 nu voia.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 adev\u0103rul era prea ur\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Am b\u0103gat m\u00e2na \u00een buzunar \u0219i am str\u00e2ns obiectul pe care mi-l d\u0103duse Irina.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce este asta? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, Vlad a p\u0103rut speriat.<\/p>\n
Pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Dar suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 v\u0103d.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103-mi-l.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce e?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui devenise joas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Periculoas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103-mi-l acum.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut pielea de g\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci Irina a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026<\/p>\n
Vlad s-a \u00eentors brusc spre ea.<\/p>\n
Iar fata a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Am scos \u00eencet obiectul din buzunar.<\/p>\n
Era un stick de memorie.<\/p>\n
Mic.<\/p>\n
P\u0103tat cu s\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
Vlad a \u00eenjurat printre din\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een clipa aia am \u0219tiut.<\/p>\n
Orice era acolo\u2026 era adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Am b\u0103gat stickul \u00een s\u00e2n \u0219i am ridicat b\u0103rbia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce con\u021bine?<\/p>\n
El n-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut \u00eenc\u0103 un pas spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103-mi-l \u0219i uit\u0103m tot.<\/p>\n
Atunci am sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u0103 b\u0103iatul meu nu mai era b\u0103iatul meu.<\/p>\n
Omul din fa\u021ba mea era str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
\u0218i periculos.<\/p>\n
Am apucat coada m\u0103turii de jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai faci un pas \u0219i \u021bip.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas pe loc.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 \u00eei era ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103 jos erau oameni.<\/p>\n
Martori.<\/p>\n
Asta l-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Nu con\u0219tiin\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se rupe sufletul c\u00e2nd am \u00een\u021beles asta.<\/p>\n
Irina tremura \u00een spatele meu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamna Maria\u2026 v\u0103 rog\u2026<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n
Avea fa\u021ba ud\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajuta\u021bi-m\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, am ales.<\/p>\n
Nu \u00eentre fiul meu \u0219i o str\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci \u00eentre adev\u0103r \u0219i minciuna \u00een care tr\u0103isem ca mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat direct la Vlad.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ie\u0219i din camer\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
Apoi a ie\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 \u00eenchid\u0103 u\u0219a, s-a uitat la mine cu o r\u0103ceal\u0103 care m-a urm\u0103rit mult timp dup\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencuiat imediat.<\/p>\n
Apoi am luat telefonul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
Irina m-a privit speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe cine suna\u021bi?<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea, am spus cu voce tare ceva ce n-a\u0219 fi crezut vreodat\u0103 c\u0103 voi spune:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poli\u021bia.<\/p>\n
O or\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, lumea mea se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea definitiv.<\/p>\n
Pe stick erau film\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Fete.<\/p>\n
Mai multe fete.<\/p>\n
Unele pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Altele incon\u0219tiente.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rba\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Bani.<\/p>\n
Amenin\u021b\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
\u0218i Vlad.<\/p>\n
Fiul meu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mijlocul tuturor.<\/p>\n
Irina nu fusese prima.<\/p>\n
Doar prima care reu\u0219ise s\u0103 lase dovezi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua aia n-am pierdut doar un fiu.<\/p>\n
Am pierdut iluzia c\u0103 iubirea unei mame poate \u021bine loc de adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
