Am privit plicul c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi pe el.<\/p>\n
Apoi iar plicul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-l iau.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 v-am spus c\u0103 o s\u0103-i \u00eenapoiez.<\/p>\n
Avea aceea\u0219i privire hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103 ca \u00een ziua c\u00e2nd \u00eempingea roaba prin ar\u0219i\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am rezemat de poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum \u00eel cheam\u0103 pe omul care te-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 fii a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Un z\u00e2mbet mic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe tata.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i unde e?<\/p>\n
Z\u00e2mbetul i-a disp\u0103rut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A murit acum trei ani.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
A ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a spus mereu c\u0103 dac\u0103 promi\u021bi ceva, trebuie s\u0103 te \u021bii de cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Am deschis plicul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru erau cinci bancnote de o sut\u0103 de lei.<\/p>\n
\u00cengrijit a\u0219ezate.<\/p>\n
Probabil str\u00e2nse cu greu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vlad.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vlad, intr\u0103 pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
A ezitat.<\/p>\n
Dar a intrat.<\/p>\n
Ghi\u021b\u0103 l-a urmat \u0219chiop\u0103t\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Motanul ar\u0103ta mai bine.<\/p>\n
Mai slab dec\u00e2t ar fi trebuit, dar viu.<\/p>\n
L-am pus pe mas\u0103 \u0219i i-am dat o farfurioar\u0103 cu carne.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timp ce motanul m\u00e2nca, Vlad privea atent, de parc\u0103 fiecare \u00eenghi\u021bitur\u0103 era o victorie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunica ta ce boal\u0103 are?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Diabet \u0219i probleme cu inima.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i cine are grij\u0103 de ea?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu \u0219i mama.<\/p>\n
Am dat \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103 am aflat mai multe despre el dec\u00e2t despre unii oameni pe care \u00eei cuno\u0219team de zeci de ani.<\/p>\n
Mama lucra la o fabric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ture lungi.<\/p>\n
Bani pu\u021bini.<\/p>\n
Bunica abia se deplasa.<\/p>\n
Iar Vlad f\u0103cea orice munc\u0103 g\u0103sea dup\u0103 \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tundea iarb\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103ra lemne.<\/p>\n
Ajuta prin cur\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Nu se pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
Pur \u0219i simplu f\u0103cea ce era nevoie.<\/p>\n
\u00cenainte s\u0103 plece, mi-a \u00eempins din nou plicul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lua\u021bi-l.<\/p>\n
L-am luat.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit mul\u021bumit.<\/p>\n
Apoi am deschis sertarul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u0219i am scos o cutie veche de lemn.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum ia asta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce este?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deschide.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era ceasul meu de lucru.<\/p>\n
Un ceas vechi, zg\u00e2riat, pe care \u00eel purtasem aproape dou\u0103zeci de ani pe \u0219antiere.<\/p>\n
Vlad s-a speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103-l iau.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba po\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E al dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum este al t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
Am privit spre Ghi\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 mi-ai amintit ceva ce uitasem.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce anume?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103 valoarea unui om nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 dup\u0103 c\u00e2t de greu munce\u0219te. Ci dup\u0103 c\u00e2t de mult \u00eei pas\u0103 de ceilal\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
Dar a \u00eencercat s\u0103 le ascund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Exact cum fac b\u0103ie\u021bii care au fost obliga\u021bi s\u0103 creasc\u0103 prea repede.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele luni a \u00eenceput s\u0103 treac\u0103 pe la mine din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Uneori s\u0103 m\u0103 ajute.<\/p>\n
Alteori doar s\u0103-mi arate poze cu Ghi\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Motanul se f\u0103cea tot mai bine.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i rec\u0103p\u0103tase blana lucioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cencepuse chiar s\u0103 alerge din nou.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, pe la \u00eenceputul toamnei, Vlad a venit cu carnetul de note.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am intrat la liceul pe care mi l-am dorit.<\/p>\n
Era at\u00e2t de m\u00e2ndru \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape str\u0103lucea.<\/p>\n
L-am felicitat \u0219i am sim\u021bit ceva ciudat \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Un sentiment pe care nu-l mai tr\u0103isem de ani.<\/p>\n
M\u00e2ndrie.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Pentru el.<\/p>\n
Iar c\u00e2nd a plecat, Ghi\u021b\u0103 s-a oprit \u00een poart\u0103 \u0219i s-a uitat spre mine.<\/p>\n
Mi-am amintit atunci de ziua \u00een care \u00eei spusesem s\u0103 nu-mi miroas\u0103 prin curte.<\/p>\n
\u0218i m-am ru\u0219inat din nou.<\/p>\n
Uneori Dumnezeu nu-\u021bi trimite lec\u021bii prin oameni importan\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u021ai le trimite printr-un b\u0103iat de cincisprezece ani, cu palmele pline de b\u0103\u0219ici \u0219i un motan r\u0103nit \u00eentr-o cu\u0219c\u0103 veche.<\/p>\n
Iar dac\u0103 ai noroc, \u00een\u021belegi lec\u021bia \u00eenainte s\u0103 fie prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
