Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, niciunul dintre noi n-a spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Ea \u00eenc\u0103 z\u00e2mbea u\u0219or dup\u0103 c\u00e2ntec, dar expresia i s-a schimbat c\u00e2nd a observat c\u0103 o priveam fix.<\/p>\n
Probabil p\u0103ream ciudat. Un b\u0103rbat trecut de cincizeci de ani, r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat \u00een mijlocul trotuarului, cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunte\u021bi bine? m-a \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Vocea ei mi-a str\u00e2ns pieptul.<\/p>\n
Sem\u0103na \u0219i acolo.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u0103spund, dar mi-a ie\u0219it doar un:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Melodia asta\u2026 de unde o \u0219tii?<\/p>\n
Fata a clipit surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u2026 c\u00e2ntecul? Mama mea \u00eel c\u00e2nta mereu c\u00e2nd eram mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mama ei.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum o chema? am \u00eentrebat aproape \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Ea a ezitat pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Elena.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum stomacul mi se str\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
So\u021bia mea se numea tot Elena.<\/p>\n
M-am sprijinit instinctiv de un st\u00e2lp din apropiere. Fata m-a privit mai atent acum, vizibil \u00eengrijorat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule, sigur sunte\u021bi bine?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi cer scuze\u2026 doar c\u0103\u2026 fiica mea disp\u0103rut\u0103 c\u00e2nta melodia asta.<\/p>\n
Chipul ei s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u\u2026<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi revin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2\u021bi ani ai?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi.<\/p>\n
Exact.<\/p>\n
Exact c\u00e2t ar fi avut \u0219i ea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen jurul nostru, oamenii \u00eencepuser\u0103 s\u0103 plece. Strada redevenea zgomotoas\u0103, dar pentru mine totul p\u0103rea \u00eendep\u0103rtat.<\/p>\n
Fata \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns husa chitarei \u0219i a f\u0103cut un pas mai aproape.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum o chema pe fiica dumneavoastr\u0103?<\/p>\n
Mi-a fost greu s\u0103 rostesc numele dup\u0103 at\u00e2\u021bia ani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba ei a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi a spus \u00eencet:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 am fost adoptat\u0103 c\u00e2nd eram mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Ea p\u0103rea la fel de \u0219ocat\u0103 c\u0103 spusese asta cu voce tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu multe despre familia mea biologic\u0103, a continuat. Mama care m-a crescut mi-a spus doar c\u0103 am fost g\u0103sit\u0103 \u00eentr-o gar\u0103 din Bra\u0219ov c\u00e2nd eram foarte mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Bra\u0219ov.<\/p>\n
Ultimul loc unde fusese v\u0103zut\u0103 Ana.<\/p>\n
Mi-au \u00eenceput m\u00e2inile s\u0103 tremure.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aveai\u2026 aveai ceva asupra ta c\u00e2nd ai fost g\u0103sit\u0103?<\/p>\n
Fata s-a \u00eencruntat pu\u021bin, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i aminteasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama p\u0103stra o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 veche. Cu numele meu.<\/p>\n
Mi-am sim\u021bit genunchii moi.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Ana disp\u0103ruse, purta o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 argintie pe care i-o f\u0103cuse so\u021bia mea. Scrisese numele ei pe interior, de team\u0103 s\u0103 nu o piard\u0103 \u00een parc sau prin magazine.<\/p>\n
Fata \u0219i-a deschis \u00eencet geanta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O port \u0219i acum uneori\u2026 sta\u021bi pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
A c\u0103utat c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a scos o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 sub\u021bire, zg\u00e2riat\u0103 de timp.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era aceea\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Am recunoscut imediat zg\u00e2rietura mic\u0103 de l\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00eenchiz\u0103toare. O f\u0103cuse Ana c\u00e2nd lovise br\u0103\u021bara de balansoar, \u00eentr-un parc din Constan\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Lumea din jurul meu parc\u0103 disp\u0103ruse complet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde\u2026? a \u0219optit fata.<\/p>\n
Nu mai puteam vorbi.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile \u00eemi curgeau f\u0103r\u0103 oprire.<\/p>\n
Ea m\u0103 privea acum speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu sunt tat\u0103l t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au ie\u0219it fr\u00e2nte.<\/p>\n
Fata a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103 am crezut c\u0103 va pleca. C\u0103 m\u0103 va crede nebun.<\/p>\n
Dar apoi \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na \u00eencet la gur\u0103, exact cum f\u0103cea so\u021bia mea c\u00e2nd era \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu se poate\u2026<\/p>\n
I-am povestit totul acolo, pe trotuar. Despre ziua \u00een care disp\u0103ruse din fa\u021ba unui magazin aglomerat. Despre anii de c\u0103ut\u0103ri. Despre afi\u0219e, poli\u021bie, nop\u021bi nedormite.<\/p>\n
Despre mama ei.<\/p>\n
La auzul ultimului lucru, fata m-a privit speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama mea\u2026?<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit acum \u0219ase ani. Nu a trecut niciodat\u0103 peste pierderea ta.<\/p>\n
Fata a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
St\u0103team am\u00e2ndoi \u00een mijlocul str\u0103zii, ca doi oameni care \u00eencercau s\u0103 recupereze \u0219aptesprezece ani \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 sear\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, am mers \u00eempreun\u0103 la o cafenea mic\u0103 din apropiere.<\/p>\n
Mi-a ar\u0103tat poze din copil\u0103ria ei. Familia care o crescuse. Via\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
O chema acum Mara.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, de\u0219i o parte din mine suferea pentru to\u021bi anii pierdu\u021bi, alta era pur \u0219i simplu recunosc\u0103toare c\u0103 tr\u0103ise. C\u0103 fusese iubit\u0103. C\u0103 nu fusese singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
La plecare, afar\u0103 \u00eencepuse s\u0103 plou\u0103 u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas am\u00e2ndoi sub copertina cafenelei f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spunem nimic c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi ea s-a apropiat \u00eencet \u0219i m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit acela\u0219i parfum de vanilie pe care \u00eel avea c\u00e2nd era copil.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 \u0219aptesprezece ani, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 pot s\u0103 respir din nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
