Rare\u0219 nu mai auzea nimic.<\/p>\n
Nici reporterii.<\/p>\n
Nici aparatele foto.<\/p>\n
Nici vocea directoarei care \u00eencerca s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tot ce vedea erau ochii feti\u021bei.<\/p>\n
Aceia\u0219i ochi verzi pe care \u00eei avusese Ioana.<\/p>\n
Femeia pe care o iubise suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103-i promit\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103\u2026 \u0219i pe care o abandonase \u00een momentul \u00een care via\u021ba devenise complicat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba \u00eel \u021binea str\u00e2ns de pantaloni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati\u2026 ai venit\u2026<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremura de emo\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? a \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mara.<\/p>\n
Inima i s-a oprit pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ioana \u00eei spusese odat\u0103, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd \u00eentr-o cafenea mic\u0103 din Bra\u0219ov:<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 o s\u0103 avem vreodat\u0103 o fat\u0103, vreau s\u0103 o cheme Mara.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lumea din jur \u00eencepuse s\u0103 murmure.<\/p>\n
Reporterii filmau din nou.<\/p>\n
Directoarea orfelinatului a venit repede l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi cer scuze, domnule Dumitrescu\u2026 cred c\u0103 s-a creat o confuzie\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar Mara a dat imediat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e confuzie! Mama mi-a ar\u0103tat poza lui!<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a sim\u021bit c\u0103 i se taie respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce ai spus?<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba \u0219i-a b\u0103gat m\u00e2na \u00een buzunarul rochi\u021bei \u0219i a scos o fotografie mic\u0103, \u00eendoit\u0103 la col\u021buri.<\/p>\n
Era el.<\/p>\n
O poz\u0103 veche, de acum mul\u021bi ani.<\/p>\n
St\u0103tea pe o plaj\u0103, z\u00e2mbind, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie c\u0103 cineva \u00eei f\u0103cuse fotografia.<\/p>\n
Pe spate, cu scrisul Ioanei, era scris:<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru Mara. Ca s\u0103-\u021bi cuno\u0219ti tat\u0103l \u00eentr-o zi.\u201d<\/p>\n
M\u00e2inile lui Rare\u0219 au \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde este mama ta?<\/p>\n
Mara \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit anul trecut.<\/p>\n
Curtea \u00eentreag\u0103 a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a sim\u021bit cum ceva se rupe \u00een pieptul lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum\u2026?<\/p>\n
Directoarea s-a apropiat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama ei a adus-o aici acum opt luni. Era foarte bolnav\u0103. Cancer pulmonar \u00een stadiu avansat.<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu mai putea respira.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A spus c\u0103 nu mai are familie\u2026 doar c\u0103 tat\u0103l fetei este un om important \u0219i c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi poate va veni.<\/p>\n
Mara \u00eel privea cu speran\u021b\u0103 pur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Genul acela de speran\u021b\u0103 pe care doar copiii \u00eel mai pot avea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama zicea c\u0103 poate \u021bi-a fost fric\u0103\u2026 dar c\u0103 nu e\u0219ti r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Fiecare cuv\u00e2nt \u00eel lovea ca un cu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 adev\u0103rul era exact invers.<\/p>\n
Nu fusese fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fusese la\u0219itate.<\/p>\n
Cinci ani \u00eenainte, c\u00e2nd Ioana \u00eei spusese c\u0103 e \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103, el alesese afacerea.<\/p>\n
Imaginea.<\/p>\n
Banii.<\/p>\n
Tat\u0103l lui \u00eei spusese clar:<\/p>\n
\u201eUn copil acum \u00ee\u021bi distruge cariera.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i el ascultase.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintea perfect ultima discu\u021bie cu Ioana.<\/p>\n
Ea pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
El \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea bagajul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Rare\u0219, te rog\u2026 m\u0103car vorbe\u0219te cu mine\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar el plecase.<\/p>\n
\u0218i nu se mai uitase \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 acum.<\/p>\n
Mara \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eel \u021binea de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ca \u0219i cum \u00eei fusese dor de el toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Reporterii filmau fiecare secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba lui, Rare\u0219 nu se mai g\u00e2ndea la imagine.<\/p>\n
Se g\u00e2ndea doar la c\u00e2t de gol fusese totul.<\/p>\n
Ma\u0219inile.<\/p>\n
Casa uria\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Conturile.<\/p>\n
Petrecerile.<\/p>\n
Toate.<\/p>\n
\u00cen compara\u021bie cu feti\u021ba asta care \u00eel privea de parc\u0103 era cel mai important om din lume.<\/p>\n
A \u00eengenuncheat \u00een fa\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
Ochii \u00eei erau plini de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mara\u2026 eu\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar cuvintele nu ie\u0219eau.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 nu exista nicio scuz\u0103 suficient de mare pentru cinci ani de absen\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba i-a atins obrazul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce pl\u00e2ngi?<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a izbucnit atunci.<\/p>\n
Nu elegant.<\/p>\n
Nu discret.<\/p>\n
A pl\u00e2ns \u00een mijlocul cur\u021bii ca un om care \u00ee\u0219i vede \u00eentreaga via\u021b\u0103 pr\u0103bu\u0219indu-se \u00een fa\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n
Mara l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
Mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fragil\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een bra\u021bele ei era mai mult\u0103 iubire dec\u00e2t primise el \u00een to\u021bi anii de succes.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, Rare\u0219 a aflat tot adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Ioana refuzase s\u0103-i cear\u0103 bani.<\/p>\n
Lucrase p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ultimele luni de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
V\u00e2nduse bijuterii.<\/p>\n
Se mutase din chirie \u00een chirie.<\/p>\n
Iar c\u00e2nd boala se agravase, singura ei grij\u0103 fusese Mara.<\/p>\n
L\u0103sase scrisori.<\/p>\n
Pentru fiecare aniversare a fetei.<\/p>\n
Pentru primul ei Cr\u0103ciun f\u0103r\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Pentru ziua \u00een care urma s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 \u0219coala.<\/p>\n
\u0218i una pentru Rare\u0219.<\/p>\n
A citit-o singur, \u00een biroul lui uria\u0219, la miezul nop\u021bii.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu te ur\u0103sc.<\/p>\n
Te-am ur\u00e2t o vreme, da.<\/p>\n
Dar apoi am v\u0103zut-o pe Mara z\u00e2mbind \u0219i am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 din iubirea noastr\u0103 a ie\u0219it ceva bun, chiar dac\u0103 noi am distrus totul.<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 ai g\u0103sit-o.<\/p>\n
\u0218i dac\u0103 exist\u0103 m\u0103car pu\u021bin\u0103 bun\u0103tate r\u0103mas\u0103 \u00een tine, te rog\u2026 nu o mai abandona \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a pl\u00e2ns p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Trei luni mai t\u00e2rziu, a revenit la orfelinat.<\/p>\n
De data asta f\u0103r\u0103 camere.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 pres\u0103.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 costum scump.<\/p>\n
Mara a fugit iar spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati!<\/p>\n
\u0218i de data asta, Rare\u0219 a luat-o \u00een bra\u021be f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare.<\/p>\n
Procesul de adop\u021bie a durat aproape un an.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103-i fac\u0103 p\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
S\u0103-i preg\u0103teasc\u0103 sandvi\u0219uri.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 citeasc\u0103 pove\u0219ti seara.<\/p>\n
Lucruri simple pe care niciun milion nu le putea cump\u0103ra.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o noapte, \u00eenainte de culcare, Mara l-a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati\u2026 mami chiar te-a iubit mult?<\/p>\n
Rare\u0219 a sim\u021bit nodul din g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, puiule. Mai mult dec\u00e2t am meritat vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mara a z\u00e2mbit somnoroas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu te iubesc.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce a adormit, Rare\u0219 a r\u0103mas mult timp l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103, privind-o.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a \u00een\u021beles ceva ce oamenii ca el afl\u0103 de obicei prea t\u00e2rziu:<\/p>\n
Nu averea te face bogat.<\/p>\n
Ci a doua \u0219ans\u0103 pe care via\u021ba decide, uneori, s\u0103 \u021bi-o ofere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
