Valeria a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Asta este imposibil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tot atunci m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103-i promit c\u0103 voi proteja o persoan\u0103 mai important\u0103 dec\u00e2t propria mea via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe cine?<\/p>\n
Toma a privit-o drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fiica despre care dumneavoastr\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 nu \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 Andrei a l\u0103sat-o \u00een via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sal\u0103 s-a f\u0103cut o lini\u0219te at\u00e2t de ad\u00e2nc\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t se mai auzea doar muzica discret\u0103 a cvartetului din col\u021b.<\/p>\n
Valeria a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Noi… nu am avut niciodat\u0103 copii.<\/p>\n
Toma \u0219i-a plecat capul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a a\u021bi fost f\u0103cut\u0103 s\u0103 crede\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre agen\u021bii de paz\u0103 a intervenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule, dac\u0103 acesta este vreun joc…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu este, l-a \u00eentrerupt Toma. Dar nu pot spune totul aici.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u0219i-a rec\u0103p\u0103tat calmul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Veni\u021bi cu mine.<\/p>\n
S-au retras \u00eentr-o sal\u0103 de protocol, \u00eenso\u021bi\u021bi doar de avocatul funda\u021biei \u0219i de un reprezentant al For\u021belor Navale.<\/p>\n
Toma a a\u0219ezat pe mas\u0103 un plic vechi, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a fost \u00eencredin\u021bat de contraamiralul Andrei S\u0103ndulescu. Mi-a spus s\u0103 vi-l dau doar dac\u0103 el nu se mai \u00eentoarce \u0219i dac\u0103 voi fi sigur c\u0103 nu mai exist\u0103 niciun pericol.<\/p>\n
\u00cen plic se afla o scrisoare scris\u0103 de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valeria a recunoscut imediat scrisul so\u021bului ei.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 cite\u0219ti aceste r\u00e2nduri, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu am mai avut \u0219ansa s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc. Te rog s\u0103 m\u0103 ier\u021bi c\u0103 nu \u021bi-am spus adev\u0103rul. Cu c\u00e2teva luni \u00eenainte de misiune am aflat c\u0103 am o fiic\u0103 n\u0103scut\u0103 \u00eenainte s\u0103 ne cunoa\u0219tem. Mama ei murise \u00eentr-un accident, iar copilul ajunsese \u00eentr-un centru de plasament. \u00cencepusem demersurile legale pentru a o aduce acas\u0103. Am vrut s\u0103-\u021bi spun dup\u0103 \u00eentoarcerea din misiune. Nu am vrut s\u0103 afli printr-o scrisoare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lacrimile au \u00eenceput s\u0103-i curg\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le mai poat\u0103 opri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde este? a \u00eentrebat cu glas stins.<\/p>\n
Toma a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
A deschis telefonul \u0219i i-a ar\u0103tat o fotografie.<\/p>\n
O adolescent\u0103 de paisprezece ani z\u00e2mbea \u00eentr-o uniform\u0103 \u0219colar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O cheam\u0103 Mara. Dup\u0103 dispari\u021bia contraamiralului, autorit\u0103\u021bile au decis s\u0103 p\u0103streze totul confiden\u021bial p\u00e2n\u0103 la clarificarea unor aspecte juridice \u0219i de securitate. \u00centre timp, eu am r\u0103mas persoana desemnat\u0103 s\u0103 vegheze asupra ei \u0219i s\u0103 m\u0103 asigur c\u0103 nimeni nu profit\u0103 de situa\u021bie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea \u0219tie cine sunt?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tie c\u0103 exist\u0103 o femeie pe care tat\u0103l ei a iubit-o enorm. Dar nu a vrut niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 v\u0103 tulbure via\u021ba f\u0103r\u0103 dovezi.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u0219i-a \u0219ters lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 o cunosc.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o gr\u0103din\u0103 lini\u0219tit\u0103 din Constan\u021ba, Mara a p\u0103\u0219it timid spre femeia pe care o v\u0103zuse doar \u00een c\u00e2teva fotografii vechi.<\/p>\n
Niciuna nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valeria a f\u0103cut primul pas.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu vreau s\u0103 iau locul nim\u0103nui din via\u021ba ta.<\/p>\n
Fata a z\u00e2mbit emo\u021bionat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nici eu nu caut o mam\u0103 nou\u0103. Dar mi-ar pl\u0103cea s\u0103 v\u0103 cunosc.<\/p>\n
Au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 ore \u00eentregi despre Andrei.<\/p>\n
Despre pasiunea lui pentru mare.<\/p>\n
Despre glumele lui.<\/p>\n
Despre promisiunile pe care nu mai apucase s\u0103 le \u00eendeplineasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, Valeria a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu recuperase trecutul.<\/p>\n
Dar descoperise o parte din el pe care nici nu \u0219tia c\u0103 o pierduse.<\/p>\n
Iar pl\u0103cu\u021bele de identificare, pe care le crezuse ani \u00eentregi doar simbolul unei tragedii, deveniser\u0103 \u00eenceputul unei noi familii.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
