M-am uitat de la tata la C\u0103lin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Despre ce vorbe\u0219te?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin nu r\u0103spunse imediat.<\/p>\n
\u0218i tocmai t\u0103cerea aceea m-a speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103lin?<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i trecu m\u00e2na peste ceaf\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Intr\u0103m \u00een sufragerie?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Spune-mi acum.<\/p>\n
Tata scoase telefonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 nu-i spui tu, \u00eei spun eu.<\/p>\n
Pe ecran era o fotografie f\u0103cut\u0103 de la distan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin st\u0103tea \u00een parcarea Spitalului Jude\u021bean din Bra\u0219ov.<\/p>\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 el era un b\u0103ie\u021bel de vreo \u0219apte-opt ani.<\/p>\n
Copilul \u00eel \u021binea de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar C\u0103lin era aplecat spre el, cu cealalt\u0103 m\u00e2n\u0103 pe um\u0103rul lui.<\/p>\n
Nu p\u0103rea o \u00eent\u00e2lnire \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
P\u0103reau apropia\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Foarte apropia\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine este? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin \u00eenchise ochii pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cel cheam\u0103 Matei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
Tata interveni:<\/p>\n
\u2014 L-am v\u0103zut ie\u0219ind cu el din sec\u021bia de pediatrie. Apoi copilul l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at \u0219i i-a spus ceva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 I-a spus \u201emi-ai promis c\u0103 vii\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a str\u00e2ns stomacul.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la so\u021bul meu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai un copil?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin ridic\u0103 imediat privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci cine este Matei?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fiul lui Radu.<\/p>\n
Numele \u00eemi era cunoscut.<\/p>\n
Radu fusese bateristul primei trupe a lui C\u0103lin. Murise \u00eentr-un accident cu aproape patru ani \u00eenainte s\u0103 ne cunoa\u0219tem.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin vorbea rar despre el.<\/p>\n
Dar c\u00e2nd o f\u0103cea, vocea i se schimba.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe marginea canapelei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Radu \u0219i cu mine am crescut \u00eempreun\u0103. Nu eram doar colegi de trup\u0103. Era fratele pe care nu l-am avut niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata r\u0103mase \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i b\u0103iatul?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei este fiul lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu mi-ai spus niciodat\u0103?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se uit\u0103 la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 mama lui Matei m-a rugat s\u0103 nu spun nim\u0103nui despre situa\u021bia lui.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum nelini\u0219tea mea se transforma \u00een altceva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce situa\u021bie?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei are o problem\u0103 grav\u0103 de s\u0103n\u0103tate. \u00cen ultimul an a avut mai multe intern\u0103ri. Mama lui \u00eel cre\u0219te singur\u0103 \u0219i se descurc\u0103 greu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i tu ce leg\u0103tur\u0103 ai?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin inspir\u0103 ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103, Radu m-a pus s\u0103-i promit c\u0103, dac\u0103 i se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva, nu-l voi abandona pe Matei.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a c\u0103 \u00eel aju\u021bi?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De c\u00e2nd?<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Tata pufni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Convenabil.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce? Un b\u0103rbat \u00eensurat se \u00eent\u00e2lne\u0219te pe ascuns cu un copil despre care so\u021bia lui nu \u0219tie nimic \u0219i trebuie pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 credem povestea asta?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin nu ridic\u0103 vocea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi dreptate \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 privin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata \u00eencremeni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuia s\u0103-i spun so\u021biei mele.<\/p>\n
Apoi C\u0103lin se uit\u0103 la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici am gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ai ascuns?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiam ce urma s\u0103 \u00eentrebi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde vin banii.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un fior rece.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultimul an, C\u0103lin refuzase de c\u00e2teva ori s\u0103 ne schimb\u0103m ma\u0219ina.<\/p>\n
Am\u00e2nase cump\u0103rarea unor lucruri pentru cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi spusese c\u0103 trupa nu c\u00e2\u0219tiga at\u00e2t de bine pe c\u00e2t p\u0103rea.<\/p>\n
Nu-l \u00eentrebasem niciodat\u0103 \u00een detaliu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu conteaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru mine conteaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103lin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aproape jum\u0103tate din ce c\u00e2\u0219tig din concerte.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Tata r\u00e2se scurt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Extraordinar. \u0218i tu consideri asta normal?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se ridic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Consider normal s\u0103 nu las copilul celui mai bun prieten al meu f\u0103r\u0103 tratament doar ca s\u0103-mi cump\u0103r eu o motociclet\u0103 mai nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata f\u0103cu un pas spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu schimba subiectul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-l schimb.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, vocea lui C\u0103lin deveni ferm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dumneavoastr\u0103 a\u021bi venit aici convins c\u0103 m-a\u021bi prins cu ceva. A\u021bi f\u0103cut o fotografie pe ascuns \u0219i a\u021bi venit s\u0103-i demonstra\u021bi fiicei dumneavoastr\u0103 c\u0103 a gre\u0219it c\u00e2nd s-a m\u0103ritat cu mine.<\/p>\n
Tata nu r\u0103spunse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar n-a\u021bi \u00eentrebat cine era copilul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am vrut s\u0103 afle ea adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. A\u021bi vrut s\u0103 ave\u021bi dreptate.<\/p>\n
Camera amu\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am v\u0103zut cum tata \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2ngea maxilarul.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se \u00eentoarse spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 nu \u021bi-am spus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama lui Matei \u0219tie c\u0103 pl\u0103te\u0219ti tratamentele?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i de ce te-a rugat s\u0103 p\u0103strezi secretul?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nu vrea mil\u0103. \u0218i pentru c\u0103 Radu a l\u0103sat datorii. Au existat rude care au ap\u0103rut doar c\u00e2nd au crezut c\u0103 exist\u0103 bani. Dup\u0103 aceea, ea n-a mai avut \u00eencredere \u00een nimeni.<\/p>\n
Telefonul lui C\u0103lin sun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Se uit\u0103 la ecran.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba i se schimb\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Este mama lui Matei.<\/p>\n
R\u0103spunse imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, Andreea?<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Apoi se ridic\u0103 brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vin acum.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei trebuie operat \u00een seara asta.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i lu\u0103 geaca.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas spre el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vin cu tine.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin m\u0103 privi surprins.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Este so\u021bul meu cel care pleac\u0103 la spital. Vin.<\/p>\n
Tata r\u0103mase l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, am crezut c\u0103 va pleca.<\/p>\n
\u00cen schimb, spuse:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vin \u0219i eu.<\/p>\n
L-am privit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n
Nu r\u0103spunse.<\/p>\n
La spital am cunoscut-o pe Andreea.<\/p>\n
Era o femeie slab\u0103, cu cearc\u0103ne ad\u00e2nci \u0219i cu o geac\u0103 prea sub\u021bire pentru frigul de afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd l-a v\u0103zut pe C\u0103lin, l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Au g\u0103sit o complica\u021bie. Trebuie s\u0103 intre imediat.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin nu ezit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce trebuie pl\u0103tit?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, C\u0103lin\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andreea.<\/p>\n
Femeia \u00eencepu s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata privea totul de la c\u00e2\u021biva metri.<\/p>\n
Atunci o asistent\u0103 \u00eel aduse pe Matei.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul era speriat.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd \u00eel v\u0103zu pe C\u0103lin, \u00eentinse m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai venit.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin \u00eengenunche l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am promis, nu?<\/p>\n
Matei d\u0103du din cap.<\/p>\n
Apoi observ\u0103 tatuajele de pe bra\u021bele lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi ar\u0103\u021bi iar dragonul?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin \u00ee\u0219i suflec\u0103 m\u00e2neca.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, am \u00een\u021beles ceva ce p\u0103rin\u021bii mei nu \u00een\u021beleseser\u0103 niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tatuajele pe care tata le considerase dovada c\u0103 C\u0103lin era \u201eun golan\u201d aveau pove\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Unul era pentru mama lui.<\/p>\n
Altul pentru sora lui.<\/p>\n
Iar dragonul fusese desenat chiar de Matei c\u00e2nd avea cinci ani.<\/p>\n
Tata se apropiase f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau seama.<\/p>\n
Privea tatuajul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 El l-a desenat?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin d\u0103du din cap.<\/p>\n
Tata \u00ee\u0219i cobor\u00ee privirea.<\/p>\n
Opera\u021bia a durat aproape trei ore.<\/p>\n
Am stat cu Andreea.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se plimba pe coridor.<\/p>\n
Iar tata a r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiam de ce.<\/p>\n
La aproape dou\u0103 diminea\u021ba, medicul a ie\u0219it \u0219i ne-a spus c\u0103 interven\u021bia reu\u0219ise.<\/p>\n
Andreea izbucni \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin \u00ee\u0219i acoperi fa\u021ba cu m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n
Iar tata\u2026<\/p>\n
tata se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe un scaun \u0219i r\u0103mase cu privirea \u00een podea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ie\u0219it din spital, se lumina de ziu\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata \u00eel opri pe C\u0103lin \u00een parcare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103-\u021bi spun ceva?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin se \u00eentoarse.<\/p>\n
Tata p\u0103rea mai b\u0103tr\u00e2n dec\u00e2t cu o sear\u0103 \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd te-am v\u0103zut cu b\u0103iatul, am fost aproape fericit.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tata continu\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-am spus: \u201e\u0218tiam eu. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it o s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u0219i ea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i frec\u0103 fruntea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am vrut at\u00e2t de tare s\u0103 am dreptate despre tine, \u00eenc\u00e2t nici m\u0103car nu mi-a trecut prin cap c\u0103 ceea ce vedeam putea avea o explica\u021bie decent\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin nu spuse nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am lipsit de la nunta fiicei mele pentru c\u0103 am decis cine e\u0219ti dup\u0103 haine, motociclet\u0103 \u0219i tatuaje.<\/p>\n
Tata \u00eenghi\u021bi \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iar \u00een noaptea asta am v\u0103zut ce fel de om e\u0219ti c\u00e2nd nimeni nu te aplaud\u0103.<\/p>\n
A \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin s-a uitat la ea c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi i-a str\u00e2ns-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 pl\u0103ce\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
Tata se uit\u0103 spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar trebuie s\u0103-mi cer iertare de la am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n
Mama a avut nevoie de mai mult timp.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu \u00eens\u0103, p\u0103rin\u021bii mei au venit la noi la cin\u0103.<\/p>\n
A fost incomod la \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Mama nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 se comporte ca \u0219i cum nimic nu s-ar fi \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
Apoi tata a observat chitara din sufragerie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aia c\u00e2t cost\u0103?<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin r\u00e2se.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai pu\u021bin dec\u00e2t crede\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 \u00eenve\u021bi trei acorduri?<\/p>\n
A\u0219a a \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Nu cu un discurs.<\/p>\n
Nu cu o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219are dramatic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cu trei acorduri c\u00e2ntate prost de un b\u0103rbat care, cu un an \u00eenainte, refuzase s\u0103 participe la nunta fiicei sale.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, c\u00e2nd p\u0103rin\u021bii mei plecau, tata m-a luat deoparte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am crezut c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi alegi un b\u0103rbat care te va face de ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat spre C\u0103lin, care str\u00e2ngea masa \u00eempreun\u0103 cu mama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
Tata z\u00e2mbi trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Se pare c\u0103 eu am fost cel care te-a f\u0103cut de ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
A oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai pot repara?<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu po\u021bi veni la nunta pe care ai ratat-o.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba i se \u00eentrist\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi am continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar po\u021bi fi prezent la restul vie\u021bii noastre.<\/p>\n
Tata m\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 foarte mult timp, l-am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at \u0219i eu.<\/p>\n
Un an \u00eentreg, p\u0103rin\u021bii mei fuseser\u0103 convin\u0219i c\u0103 tatuajele lui C\u0103lin spuneau tot ce trebuiau s\u0103 \u0219tie despre el.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, a fost nevoie de un b\u0103ie\u021bel speriat, \u00eentr-un salon de spital, ca s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 c\u0103 po\u021bi purta un costum impecabil \u0219i s\u0103 judeci oamenii gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n
\u0218i po\u021bi avea bra\u021bele acoperite de tatuaje, s\u0103 c\u00e2n\u021bi rock \u0219i s\u0103 mergi pe motociclet\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
dar s\u0103 fii exact omul care r\u0103m\u00e2ne atunci c\u00e2nd to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi pleac\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
M-am uitat de la tata la C\u0103lin. \u2014 Despre ce vorbe\u0219te?
