St\u0103team pe balcon, \u00een halat, cu o cea\u0219c\u0103 de cafea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 de c\u00e2nd ajunsesem la mare, m\u0103 trezisem f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 aud trei copii b\u0103t\u00e2nd la u\u0219\u0103 \u00eenainte de ora \u0219apte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s\u0103 fac? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Monica mi-a \u00eentins telefonul.<\/p>\n
Pe ecran era confirmarea unei rezerv\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Un hotel aflat la c\u00e2teva str\u0103zi distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
O singur\u0103 camer\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pe numele ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei mi-a mutat bagajele! a izbucnit ea. Mi-a spus c\u0103 de azi stau singur\u0103 acolo!<\/p>\n
Am pus cea\u0219ca jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Monica, eu nu \u0219tiu nimic despre asta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sigur c\u0103 nu! Tu doar te-ai pl\u00e2ns fiului t\u0103u \u0219i l-ai \u00eentors \u00eempotriva mea!<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment s-a auzit vocea lui Andrei din hol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama nu m-a \u00eentors \u00eempotriva nim\u0103nui.<\/p>\n
A intrat \u00een camer\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenchis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Nu ridica vocea.<\/p>\n
Poate tocmai de aceea Monica s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 circul \u0103sta? l-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00censeamn\u0103 c\u0103 am schimbat pu\u021bin programul vacan\u021bei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-ai rezervat alt hotel!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
Andrei \u0219i-a \u00eencruci\u0219at bra\u021bele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 mi-ai spus c\u0103 mama trebuie s\u0103-\u0219i c\u00e2\u0219tige vacan\u021ba av\u00e2nd grij\u0103 de copiii no\u0219tri. A\u0219a c\u0103 m-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 e corect s\u0103 aplic\u0103m aceea\u0219i regul\u0103 tuturor.<\/p>\n
Monica l-a privit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vrei s\u0103 spui?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Camera mamei r\u0103m\u00e2ne pl\u0103tit\u0103. Copiii r\u0103m\u00e2n cu mine. Tu ai camera ta pentru urm\u0103toarele trei nop\u021bi. Din banii t\u0103i.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti nebun?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Doar m\u0103 asigur c\u0103 nimeni nu mai prime\u0219te o vacan\u021b\u0103 pe care altcineva consider\u0103 c\u0103 trebuie s-o \u201epl\u0103teasc\u0103\u201d prin munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Monica s-a \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti mul\u021bumit\u0103 acum?<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit vechiul reflex ridic\u00e2ndu-se \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
S\u0103-mi cer scuze.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 spun c\u0103 nu era mare lucru.<\/p>\n
S\u0103-i explic lui Andrei c\u0103 puteam continua s\u0103 stau cu copiii.<\/p>\n
F\u0103cusem asta toat\u0103 via\u021ba. C\u00e2nd nu aveam bani, munceam mai mult. C\u00e2nd eram obosit\u0103, spuneam c\u0103 sunt bine. C\u00e2nd cineva avea nevoie de mine, g\u0103seam cumva puterea s\u0103 mai fac ceva.<\/p>\n
Dar Andrei m-a privit \u0219i a cl\u0103tinat u\u0219or din cap.<\/p>\n
De parc\u0103 \u0219tia exact ce urma s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
A\u0219a c\u0103 am t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama nu are de ce s\u0103 fie mul\u021bumit\u0103 sau nemul\u021bumit\u0103, a spus el. Asta este \u00eentre noi doi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt copiii mei! a replicat Monica.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i ai mei. \u0218i eu sunt p\u0103rintele lor. Mama a venit aici ca invitat\u0103, nu ca angajat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu doar am vrut pu\u021bin timp pentru noi!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci trebuia s\u0103-mi spui mie. Nu s-o umile\u0219ti pe ea.<\/p>\n
Monica a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde f\u0103r\u0103 replic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi a ie\u0219it \u0219i a tr\u00e2ntit u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la Andrei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-ar fi trebuit s\u0103 faci asta din cauza mea.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, tocmai asta e problema.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Care?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu crezi mereu c\u0103 orice lucru f\u0103cut pentru tine este \u201edin cauza ta\u201d.<\/p>\n
A oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd eram copil, lucrai p\u00e2n\u0103 noaptea \u0219i tot veneai acas\u0103 s\u0103-mi faci de m\u00e2ncare. C\u00e2nd bunica s-a \u00eemboln\u0103vit, ai avut grij\u0103 de ea ani \u00eentregi. N-ai plecat nic\u0103ieri. N-ai cerut nimic. Eu te-am invitat aici pentru c\u0103 voiam s\u0103-\u021bi ofer c\u00e2teva zile \u00een care s\u0103 nu ai grij\u0103 de nimeni.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se umezesc ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar camera cost\u0103 mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u00e2t cost\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i copiii…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt responsabilitatea mea \u0219i a Monic\u0103i.<\/p>\n
Apoi a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu ai o singur\u0103 responsabilitate azi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Care?<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 mergi la mare.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 micul dejun, Andrei a r\u0103mas cu copiii.<\/p>\n
Eu am cobor\u00e2t singur\u0103 pe plaj\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-am \u00eentins prosopul aproape de ap\u0103 \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103, n-am avut l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine nicio geant\u0103 cu juc\u0103rii, nicio sticl\u0103 de suc, nicio p\u0103l\u0103rie de copil pe care s\u0103 m\u0103 tem c\u0103 o va lua v\u00e2ntul.<\/p>\n
Am intrat \u00een mare p\u00e2n\u0103 la genunchi.<\/p>\n
Apa era rece.<\/p>\n
Am r\u00e2s singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
O femeie de l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine m-a privit amuzat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Prima baie?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Prima din via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Serios?<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vreau, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n
Nu de triste\u021be.<\/p>\n
Pur \u0219i simplu mi-am dat seama c\u0103 ajunsesem la 65 de ani f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi permit aproape niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 fac ceva doar pentru mine.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Monica nu a venit la cin\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, \u00eens\u0103, a ap\u0103rut la hotel.<\/p>\n
Nu mai era furioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rea mai degrab\u0103 obosit\u0103.<\/p>\n
I-a cerut lui Andrei s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 \u00eentre patru ochi.<\/p>\n
Au lipsit aproape o or\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-au \u00eentors, Monica s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 stau pu\u021bin?<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce \u021bi-am spus pe plaj\u0103 a fost ur\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Nu am r\u0103spuns imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, a fost.<\/p>\n
Cred c\u0103 nu se a\u0219tepta s\u0103 spun asta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 m\u0103 aju\u021bi at\u00e2t de mult cu copiii, a continuat ea, \u00eenc\u00e2t am \u00eenceput s\u0103 consider ajutorul t\u0103u ceva normal. \u0218i am vrut vacan\u021ba asta at\u00e2t de mult, \u00eenc\u00e2t mi-am spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 tu stai cu ei, eu \u0219i Andrei putem avea timp \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Puteai s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
A privit \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i n-ar fi trebuit s\u0103 vorbesc despre banii camerei.<\/p>\n
Am inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Monica, dac\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebai dac\u0103 pot sta dou\u0103 ore cu copiii ca voi s\u0103 ie\u0219i\u021bi la cin\u0103, probabil spuneam da cu drag.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar una este s\u0103 te ajut. Alta este s\u0103-mi spui c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 muncesc ca s\u0103 merit s\u0103 fiu aici.<\/p>\n
A dat \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n
Nu ne-am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
Nu s-a rezolvat totul printr-o singur\u0103 conversa\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Dar \u0219i asta mi s-a p\u0103rut mai s\u0103n\u0103tos dec\u00e2t o \u00eemp\u0103care teatral\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultimele zile am f\u0103cut un program simplu. Andrei \u0219i Monica au stat cu copiii. Eu i-am luat \u00eentr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103 pentru c\u0103 am vrut, nu pentru c\u0103 trebuia.<\/p>\n
Am construit castele de nisip \u0219i am m\u00e2ncat \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultima diminea\u021b\u0103, nepotul meu cel mare m-a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunico, \u021bi-a pl\u0103cut vacan\u021ba?<\/p>\n
M-am uitat spre mare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Foarte mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai vii \u0219i la anul?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 m\u0103 invita\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Andrei, care ne auzise, a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Camera e deja promis\u0103.<\/p>\n
Monica l-a privit, apoi s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i f\u0103r\u0103 condi\u021bii.<\/p>\n
De data aceea am r\u00e2s cu to\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Iar c\u00e2nd am ajuns acas\u0103, am pus \u00eentr-o ram\u0103 fotografia mea preferat\u0103 din vacan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu era cu hotelul.<\/p>\n
Nici cu familia.<\/p>\n
Era o fotografie f\u0103cut\u0103 de Andrei \u00een prima zi \u00een care cobor\u00e2sem singur\u0103 pe plaj\u0103.<\/p>\n
Aveam pantalonii ridica\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la genunchi \u0219i st\u0103team cu picioarele \u00een ap\u0103, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Pe spatele fotografiei, Andrei scrisese:<\/p>\n
\u201eMama, la 65 de ani, v\u0103z\u00e2nd marea pentru prima dat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am ad\u0103ugat dedesubt, cu pixul:<\/p>\n
