Administratorul m-a indicat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vrea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domni\u0219oara Natalia \u00eei aducea m\u00e2ncare.<\/p>\n
Toate privirile au c\u0103zut pe mine.<\/p>\n
De parc\u0103 o farfurie de sup\u0103 m\u0103 transforma \u00een hoa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nora m-a m\u0103surat din cap p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce convenabil.<\/p>\n
Nu am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
Nu aveam de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 m\u0103 cert l\u00e2ng\u0103 sicriul singurei persoane care \u00eemi mul\u021bumise vreodat\u0103 c\u0103 exist.<\/p>\n
Trei zile mai t\u00e2rziu, administratorul a b\u0103tut la u\u0219a mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Natalia, trebuie s\u0103 golim apartamentul. Dumneavoastr\u0103 era\u021bi singura care venea des. Poate ne ajuta\u021bi s\u0103 sort\u0103m lucrurile.<\/p>\n
Am spus da.<\/p>\n
Nici eu nu \u0219tiu de ce.<\/p>\n
Poate pentru c\u0103 nu voiam ca ni\u0219te m\u00e2ini lacome s\u0103 arunce puloverul ei gri \u00eentr-un sac negru.<\/p>\n
Am urcat cu inima str\u00e2ns\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cheia s-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a deschis.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 am intrat \u00een apartamentul doamnei Elena.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu gunoi ascundea.<\/p>\n
Ci amintiri.<\/p>\n
Draperiile erau trase.<\/p>\n
Aerul mirosea a lavand\u0103 veche.<\/p>\n
Fotografii \u00eentoarse cu fa\u021ba \u00een jos pe o poli\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103ni curate, a\u0219ezate atent.<\/p>\n
Un scaun l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103, exact spre blocul de vizavi.<\/p>\n
Pe mas\u0103 am v\u0103zut toate caserolele mele.<\/p>\n
Sp\u0103late.<\/p>\n
P\u0103strate.<\/p>\n
Cu etichete mici.<\/p>\n
\u201eSup\u0103 cu t\u0103i\u021bei, mar\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCiorb\u0103 c\u00e2nd am tu\u0219it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCozonac de ziua mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eOrez cu lapte. Ultimul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi s-au umplut ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena p\u0103strase fiecare recipient de parc\u0103 ar fi fost cadouri.<\/p>\n
Administratorul a tu\u0219it discret.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dormitorul este \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
Am mers \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Camera era \u00eentunecat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Patul era f\u0103cut cu o cuvertur\u0103 veche cu flori albastre.<\/p>\n
Iar deasupra cuverturii era un teanc de plicuri legate cu o panglic\u0103 ro\u0219ie.<\/p>\n
Nu erau dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu erau zece.<\/p>\n
Erau zeci.<\/p>\n
Toate scrise cu aceea\u0219i m\u00e2n\u0103 tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Numele meu.<\/p>\n
Natalia.<\/p>\n
Natalia.<\/p>\n
Natalia.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 \u00eemi cedeaz\u0103 picioarele.<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat.<\/p>\n
Primul plic spunea:<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru vecina mea drag\u0103, c\u00e2nd \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it va putea intra.\u201d<\/p>\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 plicuri era o cutie mic\u0103 de lemn, o cheie aurie \u0219i o fotografie veche \u00eentoars\u0103 invers.<\/p>\n
Am luat fotografia cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentors-o.<\/p>\n
\u0218i ceea ce am v\u0103zut mi-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Era doamna Elena, mult mai t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, \u021bin\u00e2nd \u00een bra\u021be un bebelu\u0219.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een col\u021bul fotografiei, scris cu pix albastru, era numele meu complet\u2026<\/p>\n
Mi-au \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentors fotografia pe spate, convins\u0103 c\u0103 citesc gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n
Dar nu.<\/p>\n
Scria clar:<\/p>\n
\u201eNatalia Radu \u2014 3 luni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 aerul din camer\u0103 dispare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce este? a \u00eentrebat administratorul din spatele meu.<\/p>\n
Nu i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
Nu puteam.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului \u0219i am deschis primul plic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era o scrisoare scurt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 nu am mai avut curaj s\u0103-\u021bi spun \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii pentru o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi am continuat.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu sunt doar vecina ta.
\nSunt bunica ta.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sc\u0103pat scrisoarea din m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
Administratorul s-a apropiat speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Natalia?<\/p>\n
L-am auzit de foarte departe.<\/p>\n
\u00cen capul meu se auzea doar vocea doamnei Elena.<\/p>\n
Dumnezeu s\u0103-\u021bi \u00eentoarc\u0103 binele, fata mea.<\/p>\n
Fata mea.<\/p>\n
Nu spusese niciodat\u0103 \u201evecina mea\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00centotdeauna \u201efata mea\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am luat iar scrisoarea.<\/p>\n
\u201eMama ta, Ana, a fost fiica mea.
\nA plecat de acas\u0103 la nou\u0103sprezece ani dup\u0103 ce s-a \u00eendr\u0103gostit de un b\u0103rbat violent.
\nEu am \u00eencercat s\u0103 o aduc \u00eenapoi.
\nEa a crezut c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 \u00eei distrug via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd tu aveai doi ani, mama ta a murit \u00eentr-un accident de ma\u0219in\u0103.
\nEu am vrut s\u0103 te iau.
\nDar tat\u0103l t\u0103u a disp\u0103rut cu tine \u00eenainte s\u0103 pot face ceva.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 via\u021ba mea crezusem c\u0103 mama doar m\u0103 abandonase emo\u021bional \u00eenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu \u00eemi spusese altceva.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu \u00eemi spusese c\u0103 cineva m\u0103 c\u0103utase.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cutia de lemn erau documente vechi.<\/p>\n
Copii dup\u0103 pl\u00e2ngeri.<\/p>\n
Cereri de custodie.<\/p>\n
Scrisori trimise c\u0103tre direc\u021bii de protec\u021bie a copilului.<\/p>\n
\u0218i fotografii cu mine.<\/p>\n
Eu la \u0219apte ani, \u00een curtea unui centru.<\/p>\n
Eu la doisprezece ani, ie\u0219ind din \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Eu la optsprezece, \u00een sta\u021bia de autobuz.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena m\u0103 urm\u0103rise toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
De la distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Cu fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cu speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103 \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n
Nu elegant.<\/p>\n
Nu frumos.<\/p>\n
Cu sunete ur\u00e2te \u0219i ani \u00eentregi de gol \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n
Administratorul s-a retras discret \u0219i a \u00eenchis u\u0219a dormitorului.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas singur\u0103 printre scrisori.<\/p>\n
Am deschis alta.<\/p>\n
\u201eTe-am recunoscut imediat c\u00e2nd te-ai mutat \u00een bloc.
\nAi mers exact ca mama ta.
\n\u00cen prima sear\u0103 am pl\u00e2ns \u00een baie dou\u0103 ore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alta.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm vrut de multe ori s\u0103 deschid u\u0219a larg \u0219i s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi spun adev\u0103rul.
\nDar dac\u0103 m\u0103 urai?
\nDac\u0103 plecai?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alta.<\/p>\n
\u201ePrimeam m\u00e2ncarea ta \u0219i m\u0103 pref\u0103ceam c\u0103 o fac pentru c\u0103 mi-e foame.
\nDar adev\u0103rul e c\u0103 \u00eemi era dor s\u0103 am iar grij\u0103 de cineva.
\nChiar \u0219i doar deschiz\u00e2nd u\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am uitat \u00een jurul camerei.<\/p>\n
La c\u0103nile aliniate.<\/p>\n
La caserolele etichetate.<\/p>\n
La toate micile ritualuri pe care le crezusem simple gesturi de b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu p\u0103strase m\u00e2ncarea.<\/p>\n
P\u0103strase dovezile c\u0103, pentru pu\u021bin timp, m\u0103 avusese aproape.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultimul plic era cheia aurie.<\/p>\n
\u0218i un bile\u021bel.<\/p>\n
\u201eCutia de la banc\u0103 este pe numele t\u0103u acum.
\nDar ceea ce conteaz\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat nu e acolo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi am citit ultima fraz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eCeea ce conteaz\u0103 este c\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tii cine sunt, ai ales s\u0103 m\u0103 iube\u0219ti oricum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acolo m-am rupt complet.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 via\u021ba m\u0103 sim\u021bisem abandonat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nev\u0103zut\u0103.<\/p>\n
De prisos.<\/p>\n
\u0218i femeia aceea petrecuse ani \u00eentregi a\u0219tept\u00e2nd doar s\u0103 aud\u0103 pa\u0219ii mei pe hol la ora \u0219apte seara.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na urm\u0103toare, rudele au venit iar \u00een apartament.<\/p>\n
Acum erau politicoase.<\/p>\n
Prea politicoase.<\/p>\n
Aparent, \u00een cutia de valori existau ni\u0219te economii \u0219i actele apartamentului.<\/p>\n
Totul fusese l\u0103sat pe numele meu.<\/p>\n
Nora care m\u0103 privise ca pe o hoa\u021b\u0103 evita acum s\u0103 m\u0103 priveasc\u0103 \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
Fiica cea mare a doamnei Elena a \u00eencercat s\u0103 explice:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama era dificil\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Am ridicat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama dumneavoastr\u0103 era singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
N-a mai spus nimic dup\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n
Nu am v\u00e2ndut apartamentul.<\/p>\n
N-am putut.<\/p>\n
Am p\u0103strat puloverul gri pe sp\u0103tarul scaunului.<\/p>\n
Caserolele mele \u00eenc\u0103 sunt \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een fiecare sear\u0103, uneori f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau seama, m\u0103 uit la ceas aproape de ora \u0219apte.<\/p>\n
Ca \u0219i cum o parte din mine \u00eenc\u0103 se a\u0219teapt\u0103 s\u0103 duc\u0103 o farfurie cald\u0103 la u\u0219a maro cu vizor zg\u00e2riat.<\/p>\n
Doar c\u0103 acum, c\u00e2nd m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc la doamna Elena, nu m\u0103 mai doare c\u0103 am pierdut o vecin\u0103.<\/p>\n
