T\u0103cerea care s-a l\u0103sat a fost ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Fiul meu a \u00eencremenit. So\u021bul meu a f\u0103cut un pas spre mine, \u00eengrijorat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103, Maria? Cine e fata asta?<\/p>\n
Mi-a luat c\u00e2teva secunde s\u0103 respir ad\u00e2nc. \u00cen pivni\u021b\u0103, Cindy b\u0103tea u\u0219or \u00een u\u0219\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 zic\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O cheam\u0103 Cindy Gabor. \u00cen urm\u0103 cu doi ani, numele ei ap\u0103rea \u00een toate ziarele locale din Arad, de unde sunt eu. E acuzat\u0103 c\u0103 a \u00een\u0219elat mai mul\u021bi b\u0103tr\u00e2ni din satul natal, inclusiv pe m\u0103tu\u0219a mea, Ileana.<\/p>\n
So\u021bul meu a dat un pas \u00eenapoi, iar fiul meu a \u00eenro\u0219it brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu glume\u0219ti…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, dragul meu. C\u00e2nd i-am v\u0103zut fa\u021ba, am sim\u021bit fiori. Dar c\u00e2nd s-a prezentat, mi s-a ridicat p\u0103rul pe ceaf\u0103. Era acolo, \u00een poza aia de pe afi\u0219ul \u201eC\u0102UTAT\u0102\u201d! A spus c\u0103 e din Oradea, dar de fapt a crescut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 Ineu, \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 despre care localnicii \u00eenc\u0103 mai \u0219u\u0219otesc.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timp ce fiul meu \u00eencerca s\u0103 \u00eenghit\u0103 \u0219ocul, eu deja vorbeam cu poli\u021bia la telefon.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, e aici, \u00een casa mea. Spune c\u0103 se nume\u0219te Cindy Gabor, dar poate folosi un alt nume fals. E cu fiul meu, tocmai a cerut-o de nevast\u0103. V\u0103 rog, veni\u021bi repede.<\/p>\n
Au trecut zece minute p\u00e2n\u0103 au sosit. Cindy nu \u00eencercase s\u0103 fug\u0103. C\u00e2nd poli\u021bi\u0219tii au cobor\u00e2t \u00een pivni\u021b\u0103, ea s-a uitat la mine cu o lini\u0219te stranie \u0219i a spus doar:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiam c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi va veni cineva care o s\u0103 m\u0103 recunoasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
A fost ridicat\u0103 imediat, iar fiul meu s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe scaunul din buc\u0103t\u0103rie, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se cu m\u00e2inile de cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum? Cum a putut s\u0103 m\u0103 p\u0103c\u0103leasc\u0103 a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 oamenii ca ea \u0219tiu exact ce s\u0103 spun\u0103, i-am zis. \u00ce\u021bi spun ce vrei s\u0103 auzi. Te cuceresc cu sl\u0103biciunile tale. Nu \u021bi-a spus niciodat\u0103 despre familia ei, trecutul ei, nimic. Pentru c\u0103 nu era preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103 fie cunoscut\u0103 \u2014 era preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103 profite.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, am primit un telefon de la o femeie \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 din Arad.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi mul\u021bumesc, drag\u0103. Datorit\u0103 \u021bie, am \u0219ansa s\u0103-mi recuperez m\u0103car o parte din economii.<\/p>\n
\u00cen final, fiul meu \u0219i-a revenit. I-a fost greu. Timp de luni \u00eentregi s-a \u00eenchis \u00een el, ru\u0219inat \u0219i r\u0103nit. Dar cu timpul, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, s\u0103 ias\u0103, s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i acum? Acum \u0219tie s\u0103-\u0219i pun\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri. S\u0103 caute r\u0103spunsuri. S\u0103 nu se mai lase orbit de aparen\u021be.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, cum zicea bunica, \u201edracul nu vine \u00eentotdeauna cu coarne \u2014 uneori vine cu p\u0103rul piept\u0103nat \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet dulce.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
