Pe foaie scria pu\u021bin, dar suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 ridice \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Mariana S\u0103lceanu, 29 de ani, fost\u0103 asistent\u0103 medical\u0103 \u00eentr-o clinic\u0103 privat\u0103 din Bucure\u0219ti. Concediu de maternitate \u00eentrerupt \u00eenainte de termen. F\u0103r\u0103 adres\u0103 stabil\u0103. La rubrica persoan\u0103 de contact era trecut doar un nume: Elena S\u0103lceanu, decedat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mai jos, Mihai notase cu pixul: \u201eA venit la spital singur\u0103. La externare nu a fost preluat\u0103 de nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sebastian a l\u0103sat h\u00e2rtia pe birou \u0219i a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva clipe pe g\u00e2nduri. Nu era treaba lui s\u0103 afle povestea fiec\u0103rui chiria\u0219. Dar femeia aceea nu ajunsese pe o scar\u0103 de incendiu dintr-o simpl\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mplare.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile nu a insistat s\u0103 o vad\u0103. I-a cerut doar lui Mihai s\u0103 se asigure c\u0103 apartamentul are tot ce este necesar pentru copil \u0219i c\u0103 nimeni din cl\u0103dire nu o deranjeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mariana ie\u0219ea foarte rar. Cobora doar p\u00e2n\u0103 la farmacia din col\u021b sau la magazinul alimentar. \u00ce\u0219i cump\u0103ra strictul necesar \u0219i se \u00eentorcea imediat. De fiecare dat\u0103 pl\u0103tea din pu\u021binii bani pe care \u00eei avea, refuz\u00e2nd orice ajutor \u00een plus.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, Sebastian a \u00eent\u00e2lnit-o \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor \u00een lift.<\/p>\n
\u2014Cum este Matei? a \u00eentrebat el.<\/p>\n
\u2014Doarme mai bine. \u0218i eu \u00eencep s\u0103 m\u0103 obi\u0219nuiesc.<\/p>\n
A urmat o lini\u0219te st\u00e2njenitoare.<\/p>\n
\u2014Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 caut din nou de lucru, a spus ea.<\/p>\n
Sebastian a privit-o surprins.<\/p>\n
\u2014La patru zile dup\u0103 na\u0219tere?<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu pot tr\u0103i la nesf\u00e2r\u0219it din bun\u0103tatea altora.<\/p>\n
Liftul s-a oprit, iar ea a ie\u0219it f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai adauge nimic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i zi, Sebastian l-a chemat pe directorul departamentului administrativ.<\/p>\n
\u2014Avem nevoie de cineva care s\u0103 organizeze arhiva documentelor \u0219i rela\u021bia cu chiria\u0219ii?<\/p>\n
\u2014Da, dar este un program flexibil \u0219i nu e un post foarte bine pl\u0103tit.<\/p>\n
\u2014Perfect.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd i-a f\u0103cut propunerea, Mariana a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu-mi oferi\u021bi slujba asta doar fiindc\u0103 vi s-a f\u0103cut mil\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014Dac\u0103 ar fi fost mil\u0103, \u021bi-a\u0219 fi dat bani. \u00ce\u021bi ofer munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a acceptat dup\u0103 dou\u0103 zile de g\u00e2ndire.<\/p>\n
Primele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni nu au fost u\u0219oare. Venea cu Matei \u00eentr-un c\u0103rucior pe care \u00eel l\u0103sa \u00eentr-un birou lini\u0219tit. C\u00e2nd copilul \u00eencepea s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i \u00eentrerupea imediat treaba \u0219i mergea la el. Nimeni nu comenta. Din contr\u0103, colegii \u00eei aduceau c\u00e2te un ceai sau o sup\u0103 cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cencet, atmosfera din cl\u0103dire s-a schimbat. Oamenii care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci treceau gr\u0103bi\u021bi pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 paznici \u00eencepeau s\u0103 salute, s\u0103 \u00eentrebe de copil sau s\u0103 lase discret c\u00e2te un pachet cu h\u0103inu\u021be.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Mariana a b\u0103tut la u\u0219a biroului lui Sebastian.<\/p>\n
\u2014Pot s\u0103 v\u0103 r\u0103pesc dou\u0103 minute?<\/p>\n
\u2014Sigur.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014Am reu\u0219it s\u0103 str\u00e2ng suficien\u021bi bani ca s\u0103 \u00eenchiriez o garsonier\u0103. Vreau s\u0103 eliberez apartamentul.<\/p>\n
Sebastian a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014M\u0103 bucur c\u0103 ai ajuns \u00een punctul acesta.<\/p>\n
Ea a scos un plic.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218i mai este ceva.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru se aflau c\u00e2teva bancnote.<\/p>\n
\u2014Prima parte din cheltuielile pe care le-a\u021bi f\u0103cut cu mine.<\/p>\n
Sebastian a \u00eempins plicul \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u021ai-am spus de la \u00eenceput c\u0103 apartamentul gol m\u0103 costa oricum.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218tiu. Dar eu trebuie s\u0103 \u0219tiu c\u0103 am plecat pe picioarele mele.<\/p>\n
De data aceasta, el a acceptat doar o bancnot\u0103 de valoare mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014At\u00e2t. Restul \u00eei p\u0103strezi pentru Matei.<\/p>\n
Mariana a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103 de c\u00e2nd se cunoscuser\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Ion, paznicul, a g\u0103sit \u00een camera de paz\u0103 o cutie cu pr\u0103jituri \u0219i un bile\u021bel scris de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru omul care, \u00eentr-o noapte, a ales s\u0103 nu \u00eentoarc\u0103 privirea. Dac\u0103 nu era\u021bi dumneavoastr\u0103, fiul meu nu ar fi avut primul lui acoperi\u0219.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ion a citit mesajul de dou\u0103 ori, apoi \u0219i-a \u0219ters discret ochii.<\/p>\n
Sebastian a privit de la fereastra biroului cum Mariana \u00ee\u0219i a\u0219eza copilul \u00een scaunul de ma\u0219in\u0103 \u00eenainte s\u0103 plece spre noua ei locuin\u021b\u0103. Nu schimbase lumea \u0219i nici nu rezolvase toate problemele unei necunoscute. Dar, \u00eentr-un moment \u00een care cineva avea nevoie doar de un loc sigur \u0219i de pu\u021bin\u0103 \u00eencredere, alesese s\u0103 deschid\u0103 o u\u0219\u0103 \u00een loc s\u0103 o \u00eenchid\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar uneori, exact de acolo \u00eencepe cu adev\u0103rat o via\u021b\u0103 nou\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
