\u00cen palma mea se afla un medalion vechi din argint.<\/p>\n

Nu era o bijuterie obi\u0219nuit\u0103.<\/p>\n

Era greu, zg\u00e2riat pe margini \u0219i avea gravate dou\u0103 litere: \u201eE\u201d \u0219i \u201eM\u201d.<\/p>\n

Am privit \u00een jur.<\/p>\n

Fata disp\u0103ruse deja printre ma\u0219inile din parcare.<\/p>\n

Probabil \u00eemi strecurase medalionul \u00een buzunar \u00een timpul \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103rii.<\/p>\n

Am vrut s\u0103 alerg dup\u0103 ea, dar nu mai era nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n

M-am urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva minute privind obiectul.<\/p>\n

Apoi am deschis medalionul.<\/p>\n

\u00cen\u0103untru era o fotografie mic\u0103, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103 de timp.<\/p>\n

Am sim\u021bit cum mi se opre\u0219te respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n

Era o poz\u0103 cu mine.<\/p>\n

Aveam poate dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani.<\/p>\n

L\u00e2ng\u0103 mine z\u00e2mbea o t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103 pe care nu o mai v\u0103zusem de aproape patruzeci de ani.<\/p>\n

Elena.<\/p>\n

Prima mea iubire.<\/p>\n

Femeia pe care o pierdusem c\u00e2nd eram am\u00e2ndoi prea tineri \u0219i prea \u00eenc\u0103p\u0103\u021b\u00e2na\u021bi.<\/p>\n

Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n

Cum era posibil?<\/p>\n

Am \u00eentors fotografia.<\/p>\n

Pe spate era scris cu cerneal\u0103 decolorat\u0103:<\/p>\n

\u201ePentru totdeauna. Elena \u0219i Mihai. 1985.\u201d<\/p>\n

Numele meu.<\/p>\n

Numele ei.<\/p>\n

M\u00e2inile au \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi tremure.<\/p>\n

Nu mai v\u0103zusem acel medalion de zeci de ani.<\/p>\n

\u00cel d\u0103ruisem Elenei \u00eenainte s\u0103 plec la facultate \u00een alt ora\u0219.<\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 aceea, via\u021ba ne desp\u0103r\u021bise.<\/p>\n

Ea se c\u0103s\u0103torise.<\/p>\n

Eu \u00eemi construisem propria familie.<\/p>\n

\u0218i timpul \u00eengropase totul.<\/p>\n

Sau cel pu\u021bin a\u0219a crezusem.<\/p>\n

Am pornit ma\u0219ina \u0219i m-am \u00eentors la magazin.<\/p>\n

Poate fata revenise.<\/p>\n

Poate cineva o cuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n

Norocul a fost de partea mea.<\/p>\n

Casiera \u0219i-a amintit imediat de ea.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Vine des. Locuie\u0219te pe strada Lalelelor.<\/p>\n

\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi cum o cheam\u0103?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Maria.<\/p>\n

Am plecat imediat.<\/p>\n

Strada era la c\u00e2teva minute distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n

Am g\u0103sit casa f\u0103r\u0103 dificultate.<\/p>\n

Era mic\u0103, veche \u0219i \u00eengrijit\u0103 cu greu.<\/p>\n

\u00cen fa\u021b\u0103 se vedeau c\u00e2teva ghivece cu flori.<\/p>\n

Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde \u00een fa\u021ba por\u021bii.<\/p>\n

Apoi am b\u0103tut.<\/p>\n

Maria a deschis.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dumneavoastr\u0103…<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cred c\u0103 ai sc\u0103pat ceva \u00een buzunarul meu.<\/p>\n

I-am ar\u0103tat medalionul.<\/p>\n

Ochii i s-au umplut imediat de lacrimi.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mama avea dreptate.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Spunea c\u0103 dac\u0103 soarta vrea, \u00eentr-o zi o s\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lni\u021bi din nou.<\/p>\n

Am sim\u021bit un gol \u00een stomac.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mama ta m\u0103 cunoa\u0219te?<\/p>\n

Maria a dat din cap.<\/p>\n

\u2014 V\u0103 a\u0219teapt\u0103 de mul\u021bi ani.<\/p>\n

M-a condus \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n

\u00cen dormitorul luminat slab era o femeie foarte slab\u0103.<\/p>\n

P\u0103rul \u00eei albise complet.<\/p>\n

Fa\u021ba \u00eei era marcat\u0103 de boal\u0103.<\/p>\n

Dar am recunoscut-o imediat.<\/p>\n

Elena.<\/p>\n

Ea a z\u00e2mbit c\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n

Un z\u00e2mbet mic.<\/p>\n

Obosit.<\/p>\n

Dar acela\u0219i z\u00e2mbet pe care \u00eel purtase \u00een fotografia din medalion.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Bun\u0103, Mihai.<\/p>\n

Pentru o clip\u0103 nu am g\u0103sit cuvintele.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Elena…<\/p>\n

\u2014 \u0218tiam c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi o s\u0103 apari.<\/p>\n

Am r\u00e2s u\u0219or.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dup\u0103 aproape patruzeci de ani?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Ai fost mereu lent.<\/p>\n

Am\u00e2ndoi am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n

Maria ne-a l\u0103sat singuri.<\/p>\n

Elena mi-a povestit despre via\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n

Despre c\u0103snicie.<\/p>\n

Despre pierderi.<\/p>\n

Despre anii grei.<\/p>\n

Eu i-am povestit despre ai mei.<\/p>\n

Despre so\u021bia pe care o iubisem.<\/p>\n

Despre copiii mei.<\/p>\n

Despre pensionare.<\/p>\n

Am vorbit ore \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n

Ca \u0219i cum am fi \u00eencercat s\u0103 recuper\u0103m patruzeci de ani \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103.<\/p>\n

La un moment dat, ea a privit tortul aflat pe noptier\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 L-ai cump\u0103rat tu, nu?<\/p>\n

Am \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Maria mi-a spus.<\/p>\n

A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Exact ca \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Ce vrei s\u0103 spui?<\/p>\n

\u2014 \u00centotdeauna ajutai oamenii f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le spui.<\/p>\n

Am privit medalionul.<\/p>\n

\u2014 De ce l-a pus Maria \u00een buzunarul meu?<\/p>\n

Elena a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 eu nu mai aveam curajul.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Curajul pentru ce?<\/p>\n

Ochii ei s-au umezit.<\/p>\n

\u2014 S\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi spun c\u0103 nu te-am uitat niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n

Camera a r\u0103mas \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n

Nu era o declara\u021bie de iubire.<\/p>\n

Nu mai aveam dou\u0103zeci de ani.<\/p>\n

Nu era regret pentru vie\u021bile pe care le tr\u0103iser\u0103m.<\/p>\n

Era doar adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n

Simplu \u0219i sincer.<\/p>\n

\u00cen seara aceea am m\u00e2ncat \u00eempreun\u0103 o felie din tort.<\/p>\n

Elena a suflat \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 lum\u00e2nare.<\/p>\n

Maria pl\u00e2ngea \u0219i z\u00e2mbea \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n

Iar eu am \u00een\u021beles de ce destinul m\u0103 adusese \u00een acel magazin exact atunci.<\/p>\n

Nu pentru c\u0103 pl\u0103tisem un tort.<\/p>\n

Nu pentru c\u0103 g\u0103sisem un medalion.<\/p>\n

Ci pentru c\u0103 uneori via\u021ba \u00ee\u021bi ofer\u0103 \u0219ansa s\u0103 \u00eenchizi un cerc r\u0103mas deschis prea mult timp.<\/p>\n

Elena s-a stins lini\u0219tit\u0103 trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n

Dar \u00eenainte de asta am mai vizitat-o de c\u00e2teva ori.<\/p>\n

Am vorbit.<\/p>\n

Am r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n

Ne-am amintit.<\/p>\n

\u0218i niciunul dintre noi nu a mai purtat povara lucrurilor nespuse.<\/p>\n

Iar medalionul se afl\u0103 \u0219i ast\u0103zi pe noptiera mea.<\/p>\n

Nu ca amintirea unei iubiri pierdute.<\/p>\n

Ci ca dovada c\u0103 un gest mic de bun\u0103tate poate schimba complet o zi.<\/p>\n

Sau poate chiar o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
