\u2014 \u00cel iau pe copil, am spus. \u0218i o iau \u0219i pe mama ta.<\/p>\n
Au r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Robert a fost primul care a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La ce-\u021bi trebuie b\u0103tr\u00e2na, dac\u0103 o ur\u0103\u0219ti?<\/p>\n
\u2014 O ur\u0103sc, am r\u0103spuns. \u0218i tot o iau cu mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai \u00eennebunit! a s\u0103rit Toni. Pensia aia este a familiei.<\/p>\n
Acolo a spus-o.<\/p>\n
Pensia.<\/p>\n
Nu a spus \u201emama\u201d.<\/p>\n
A spus \u201epensia\u201d.<\/p>\n
Robert s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n
S-a apropiat de mine \u0219i mi-a \u0219optit, ca Emanuel s\u0103 nu aud\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Semneaz\u0103 azi. Altfel, m\u00e2ine diminea\u021b\u0103 mama o s\u0103 fie \u0219i mai r\u0103u. \u0218tii bine c\u0103 se poate agrava dac\u0103 vreau eu.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Atunci am scos telefonul.<\/p>\n
Nu ca s\u0103-l \u00eenregistrez.<\/p>\n
Ci ca s\u0103 dau drumul unei \u00eenregistr\u0103ri pe care o aveam de trei ani.<\/p>\n
Din noaptea aceea.<\/p>\n
Din curte.<\/p>\n
Am dat volumul la maximum.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui Robert, \u00eenregistrat\u0103 cu trei ani \u00een urm\u0103, a umplut buc\u0103t\u0103ria.<\/p>\n
\u00cei spunea fratelui s\u0103u, \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103, ce aveau de g\u00e2nd s\u0103-i fac\u0103 propriei lor mame \u00een ziua \u00een care nu avea s\u0103 mai fie nimeni care s\u0103-i vad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Toni s-a \u00eenecat cu sucul.<\/p>\n
Iasmina a cobor\u00e2t telefonul cu care m\u0103 filma.<\/p>\n
Robert s-a albit la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Opre\u0219te-l, a spus.<\/p>\n
Nu \u00eei tremura vocea de ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
\u00cei tremura de fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Eram gata s\u0103 opresc \u00eenregistrarea.<\/p>\n
Dar doamna Matilda, femeia care \u00een cinci ani nu mi-a mul\u021bumit niciodat\u0103, m-a prins de \u00eencheietur\u0103 cu singura m\u00e2n\u0103 pe care o mai putea mi\u0219ca.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a \u00eenfipt unghiile \u00een pielea mea.<\/p>\n
S-a apropiat de urechea mea \u0219i mi-a \u0219optit at\u00e2t de \u00eencet, \u00eenc\u00e2t ceilal\u021bi nu puteau auzi.<\/p>\n
Iar b\u0103tr\u00e2na care m\u0103 numise \u201ejavr\u0103\u201d ani la r\u00e2nd mi-a spus singurele cuvinte care m-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 singura persoan\u0103 din casa aceea care \u0219tiuse, \u00eenc\u0103 din prima zi, exact ce f\u0103ceam… era chiar ea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u0103 acel cuv\u00e2nt, \u201ejavr\u0103\u201d, rostit de sute de ori, nu \u00eensemnase niciodat\u0103 ceea ce crezusem eu.<\/p>\n
\u00censemna, de fapt, exact opusul.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00eel spusese inten\u021bionat, de fiecare dat\u0103, dintr-un motiv pe care aveam s\u0103-l \u00een\u021beleg pe deplin abia peste \u00eenc\u0103 opt luni, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 pot citi acele cuvinte f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mi se fr\u00e2ng\u0103 sufletul.<\/p>\n
Vocea ei era at\u00e2t de slab\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape c\u0103 nu am auzit-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103… trebuia s\u0103 te urasc\u0103 to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vedeau c\u0103 \u021bin la tine… te omorau \u0219i pe tine.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a oprit respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Ea \u0219i-a \u00eentors privirea spre cei doi fii ai ei.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een cinci ani nu mai vedeam \u00een ochii ei r\u0103utate.<\/p>\n
Doar o oboseal\u0103 cumplit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103 drumul p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t… a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat din nou telefonul.<\/p>\n
\u00cenregistrarea continua.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui Toni se auzea limpede:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i dac\u0103 b\u0103tr\u00e2na mai tr\u0103ie\u0219te mul\u021bi ani?<\/p>\n
Robert r\u00e2dea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 at\u00e2t c\u00e2t vrem noi. Cine \u00eei d\u0103 medicamentele? Cine controleaz\u0103 tot? Dac\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi \u00eei schimb\u0103m doza sau spunem c\u0103 s-a \u00eenecat, to\u021bi o s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 e o complica\u021bie. Iar vina cade pe nevast\u0103-mea. Ea st\u0103 cu b\u0103tr\u00e2na toat\u0103 ziua.<\/p>\n
\u00cen buc\u0103t\u0103rie s-a f\u0103cut o lini\u0219te \u00eenfior\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Iasmina a f\u0103cut doi pa\u0219i \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Robert… spune-mi c\u0103 nu vorbeai serios.<\/p>\n
El nu mai g\u0103sea niciun cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Atunci doamna Matilda a ridicat vocea c\u00e2t a putut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajunge!<\/p>\n
To\u021bi s-au \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trei ani am t\u0103cut… pentru c\u0103 mi-a fost fric\u0103. Dar fata asta mi-a salvat via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat direct la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen fiecare noapte \u00eemi \u00eencuia u\u0219a. Credeam c\u0103 o face ca s\u0103 m\u0103 controleze. Apoi am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 m\u0103 p\u0103zea.<\/p>\n
Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De c\u00e2te ori \u00eei spuneam \u201ejavr\u0103\u201d, speram s\u0103 plece. S\u0103 se salveze. Dar nu pleca niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu mai puteam s\u0103-mi st\u0103p\u00e2nesc pl\u00e2nsul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu mi-a\u021bi spus?<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 dac\u0103 aflau c\u0103 \u0219tiu ce pl\u0103nuiesc, n-a\u0219 mai fi prins diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment s-a auzit soneria.<\/p>\n
Nu era o \u00eent\u00e2mplare.<\/p>\n
Cu dou\u0103 zile \u00eenainte trimisesem toate \u00eenregistr\u0103rile, bonurile \u0219i documentele unei avocate, cu instruc\u021biunea clar\u0103 c\u0103, dac\u0103 primeam actele de divor\u021b, s\u0103 anun\u021be imediat Poli\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Doi poli\u021bi\u0219ti \u0219i un procuror au intrat \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Au ascultat \u00eenregistrarea p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Au ridicat telefoanele lui Robert \u0219i Toni \u0219i au \u00eenceput s\u0103 pun\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Niciunul dintre ei nu mai r\u00e2dea.<\/p>\n
Iasmina a declarat pe loc c\u0103 era dispus\u0103 s\u0103 colaboreze \u0219i s\u0103 predea toate mesajele pe care le avea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele luni au ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103 lucruri \u0219i mai grave.<\/p>\n
Robert \u0219i Toni retr\u0103seser\u0103 bani din pensia mamei lor f\u0103r\u0103 acordul ei, falsificaser\u0103 semn\u0103turi \u0219i pl\u0103nuiser\u0103 s\u0103 v\u00e2nd\u0103 casa imediat dup\u0103 decesul acesteia.<\/p>\n
Procesul a durat aproape un an.<\/p>\n
\u00cen tot acest timp, eu \u0219i Emanuel ne-am mutat \u00eentr-un apartament \u00eenchiriat.<\/p>\n
La cererea doamnei Matilda, ea a venit cu noi.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 am \u00eengrijit-o f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 mai jigneasc\u0103 nimeni.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, pe c\u00e2nd \u00eei piept\u0103nam p\u0103rul alb, m-a prins din nou de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii de ce \u00ee\u021bi spuneam \u201ejavr\u0103\u201d?<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap c\u0103 nu.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 o javr\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i ap\u0103r\u0103 puii p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t. \u0218tiam c\u0103, dac\u0103 ei te cred slab\u0103, \u00eentr-o zi o s\u0103-i \u00eenvingi. \u0218i aveam nevoie ca m\u0103car unul dintre noi s\u0103 supravie\u021buiasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
A murit lini\u0219tit\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Nu singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu abandonat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u021ain\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Prin testament mi-a l\u0103sat casa \u0219i tutela administr\u0103rii bunurilor p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd Emanuel avea s\u0103 devin\u0103 major.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 \u00eei eram nor\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103, dup\u0103 cum scrisese cu m\u00e2na ei pe ultima pagin\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eSingura persoan\u0103 care m-a tratat ca pe o fiin\u021b\u0103 omeneasc\u0103 nu a fost propriul meu s\u00e2nge, ci femeia pe care copiii mei au vrut s-o distrug\u0103. Dac\u0103 exist\u0103 dreptate pe lumea asta, atunci ea este familia pe care mi-am ales-o \u00een t\u0103cere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u2014 \u00cel iau pe copil, am spus. \u0218i o iau \u0219i pe mama ta. Au r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte. Robert a fost primul care a r\u00e2s. \u2014 La ce-\u021bi trebuie b\u0103tr\u00e2na, dac\u0103 o ur\u0103\u0219ti? \u2014 O ur\u0103sc, am r\u0103spuns. \u0218i tot o iau cu mine. \u2014 Ai \u00eennebunit! a s\u0103rit Toni.
