Pentru o clip\u0103 am crezut c\u0103 mi se opre\u0219te inima.<\/p>\n
Doru \u021binea pistolul cu m\u00e2na rigid\u0103, dar \u00eei tremurau degetele. Nu p\u0103rea un b\u0103rbat gata s\u0103 trag\u0103. P\u0103rea un copil speriat care \u00eencerca s\u0103 nu se pr\u0103bu\u0219easc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan a ridicat \u00eencet m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103-m\u0103, te rog.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 te ascult? a izbucnit Doru. Dup\u0103 ce apari dup\u0103 aproape cincizeci de ani?<\/p>\n
Vecinii de pe hol \u00eencepuser\u0103 deja s\u0103 deschid\u0103 u\u0219ile discret.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doru, las\u0103 arma jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, nu \u00een\u021belegi cine e omul \u0103sta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba cred c\u0103 tocmai \u00eencep s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan m\u0103 privea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103. \u00cen ochii lui era ceva ce nu v\u0103zusem \u00een privirea niciunui b\u0103rbat de foarte mult timp.<\/p>\n
Fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru el.<\/p>\n
Pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Doru a intrat primul \u00een camer\u0103 \u0219i a tr\u00e2ntit u\u0219a cu piciorul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum dou\u0103 luni a venit la mine.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat spre el confuz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-a g\u0103sit. Mi-a spus c\u0103 e tat\u0103l meu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 ame\u021besc \u0219i m-am sprijinit de perete.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan a vorbit \u00eencet:<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am vrut s\u0103 afli a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Doru a r\u00e2s amar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar cum? Dans\u00e2nd cu mama mea \u0219i duc\u00e2nd-o la hotel?<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au lovit greu.<\/p>\n
Ru\u0219inea mi-a urcat \u00een obraji, de\u0219i nu f\u0103cusem nimic murdar.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan \u0219i-a scos \u00eencet ochelarii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am c\u0103utat-o aproape toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu vorbea.<\/p>\n
Se auzea doar tic-tacul ceasului din buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Apoi a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen ziua \u00een care mama ei a luat-o din ora\u0219, am mers dup\u0103 ele. Dar tat\u0103l ei m-a amenin\u021bat. Mi-a spus c\u0103 dac\u0103 m\u0103 apropii, o s\u0103 ajung la \u00eenchisoare. Dup\u0103 aceea am aflat c\u0103 fusese m\u0103ritat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi aminteam.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi aminteam privirea tat\u0103lui meu \u00een seara aceea. Felul \u00een care evita s\u0103 m\u0103 priveasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce n-ai venit mai devreme? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui s-au umplut de ceva dureros.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit.<\/p>\n
Doru s-a \u00eentors brusc spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu min\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan \u0219i-a b\u0103gat m\u00e2na \u00een buzunarul hainei \u0219i a scos c\u00e2teva plicuri vechi, legate cu elastic.<\/p>\n
Mi le-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n
Le-am desf\u0103cut cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Scrisori.<\/p>\n
Zeci.<\/p>\n
Toate adresate mie.<\/p>\n
Toate returnate.<\/p>\n
Unele nici m\u0103car nu fuseser\u0103 deschise.<\/p>\n
Pe una era scrisul mamei mele.<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103 nu mai cau\u021bi fata. Are familie acum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 m\u0103 sufoc.<\/p>\n
Mama.<\/p>\n
Mama citise toate acele scrisori \u0219i nu-mi spusese niciodat\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan vorbea \u00een continuare, aproape \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd am aflat de Doru, avea deja doisprezece ani. Adrian m-a amenin\u021bat \u0219i el. A spus c\u0103 dac\u0103 apar \u00een via\u021ba voastr\u0103, distrug familia b\u0103iatului.<\/p>\n
Doru a cobor\u00e2t \u00eencet pistolul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum de ce ai venit?<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan s-a uitat direct la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 medicii mi-au spus anul trecut c\u0103 inima mea nu mai \u021bine mult.<\/p>\n
Camera a devenit brusc prea mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu voiam s\u0103 mor f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o mai v\u0103d m\u0103car o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau seama.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2\u021bia ani.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2tea vie\u021bi tr\u0103ite separat din cauza fricii \u0219i a orgoliului altora.<\/p>\n
Doru s-a a\u0219ezat greu pe scaun.<\/p>\n
Pistolul r\u0103m\u0103sese acum pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i fotografia? am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan a z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am purtat-o \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la chipul lui \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nit. La baston. La m\u00e2inile care tremurau pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
\u0218i dintr-odat\u0103 l-am v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
Nu b\u0103tr\u00e2nul elegant din sala de dans.<\/p>\n
Ci b\u0103iatul care m\u0103 a\u0219teptase c\u00e2nd aveam nou\u0103sprezece ani.<\/p>\n
Doru \u0219i-a frecat fa\u021ba obosit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd m-a c\u0103utat, am crezut c\u0103 vrea bani. Sau apartamentul. Sau ceva de la tine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am nevoie de nimic, a spus \u0218tefan. Eu deja am pierdut tot ce conta.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea care a urmat a fost grea \u0219i lung\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi, spre surprinderea mea, Doru a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu tare.<\/p>\n
Nu dramatic.<\/p>\n
Doar ca un om care \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103 seama c\u0103 \u00eentreaga lui via\u021b\u0103 fusese construit\u0103 pe jum\u0103t\u0103\u021bi de adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tata\u2026 adic\u0103 Adrian\u2026 \u0219tia?<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan a dat \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 fiul meu \u0219i i-am luat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, Doru nu s-a retras.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea am stat p\u00e2n\u0103 t\u00e2rziu la masa din buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Am b\u0103ut ceai rece.<\/p>\n
Am deschis scrisori vechi.<\/p>\n
Am vorbit despre oameni mor\u021bi \u0219i despre lucruri care nu mai puteau fi schimbate.<\/p>\n
La un moment dat, \u0218tefan a scos din buzunar un lan\u021b sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
La cap\u0103tul lui era o cruciuli\u021b\u0103 mic\u0103 de argint.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-ai pierdut-o niciodat\u0103, a spus el \u00eencet. A r\u0103mas la mine \u00een ziua aceea.<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na tremur\u00e2nd\u0103 spre bijuterie.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am pl\u00e2ns cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru tinere\u021bea pierdut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru anii fura\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103, la \u0219aizeci \u0219i cinci de ani, cineva \u00eenc\u0103 m\u0103 privise ca pe femeia pe care o iubise odat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar uneori, chiar \u0219i dup\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103, adev\u0103rul g\u0103se\u0219te drumul \u00eenapoi spre tine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
