N-am ridicat vocea.<\/p>\n
Cred c\u0103 tocmai asta a speriat-o pe Valeria.<\/p>\n
Am luat-o pe Camelia \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i m-am \u00eentors spre sora mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lucia, te rog s\u0103 mergi cu ea \u00een sufragerie.<\/p>\n
Camelia s-a ag\u0103\u021bat imediat de g\u00e2tul meu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, tati! Nu pleca!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu plec nic\u0103ieri, iubirea mea.<\/p>\n
Am s\u0103rutat-o pe frunte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lucia vine cu tine. Eu r\u0103m\u00e2n aici.<\/p>\n
Atunci Valeria a izbucnit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Serios, Iulian? O s\u0103 m\u0103 judeci dup\u0103 pove\u0219tile unei feti\u021be de patru ani?<\/p>\n
Mama s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 nepoata mea spune c\u0103 ai \u00eencuiat-o \u00eentr-un dulap, nu pleac\u0103 nimeni de aici p\u00e2n\u0103 nu afl\u0103m adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u0219i-a luat telefonul de pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu nu stau s\u0103 fiu interogat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas spre hol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da, am spus. Pentru c\u0103 acum mergem s\u0103 vedem dulapul.<\/p>\n
S-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, pe chipul ei a ap\u0103rut frica.<\/p>\n
Am v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n
\u0218i mama a v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n
Am mers cu to\u021bii spre camera Cameliei.<\/p>\n
Dulapul era unul vechi, \u00eencastrat \u00een perete. \u00cel foloseam pentru haine, p\u0103turi \u0219i c\u00e2teva cutii.<\/p>\n
Am deschis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput n-am observat nimic.<\/p>\n
Apoi Lucia s-a aplecat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iulian\u2026<\/p>\n
Pe partea interioar\u0103 a u\u0219ii, foarte jos, erau zg\u00e2rieturi.<\/p>\n
Multe.<\/p>\n
Linii scurte \u0219i haotice \u00een lemn.<\/p>\n
Mi-am trecut degetele peste ele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Camelia?<\/p>\n
Fiica mea a r\u0103spuns din bra\u021bele Luciei:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu le-am f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a str\u00e2ns stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu agrafa.<\/p>\n
Lucia i-a dat drumul jos.<\/p>\n
Camelia a venit l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u0219i a ar\u0103tat spre col\u021bul dulapului.<\/p>\n
Am scos p\u0103turile.<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele lor am g\u0103sit o sticl\u0103 mic\u0103 de ap\u0103, goal\u0103, ambalajul unei batoane de cereale \u0219i iepura\u0219ul ei de plu\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce este iepura\u0219ul aici?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cel ascundeam ca s\u0103 nu mi-l ia.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors spre Valeria.<\/p>\n
Nu mai z\u00e2mbea deloc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t timp o \u021bineai aici?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu am \u00eencuiat-o niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Camelia spune c\u0103 da.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Camelia minte!<\/p>\n
Fiica mea a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat imediat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mai \u021bipa la ea.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 pierdea controlul.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a f\u0103cut o gre\u0219eal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nici m\u0103car nu st\u0103tea mult! Zece minute, poate cincisprezece, c\u00e2nd f\u0103cea crize!<\/p>\n
\u00cen camer\u0103 s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tocmai recunoscuse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deci ai \u00eencuiat-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu asta am vrut s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tocmai asta ai spus.<\/p>\n
Mama mea pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
Tata scosese telefonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sun la poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Valeria a \u00eencercat s\u0103-l opreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu transforma\u021bi asta \u00eentr-un scandal! N-am lovit-o!<\/p>\n
Atunci Camelia a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai pot respira.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde?<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba \u0219i-a ridicat bluza.<\/p>\n
Pe partea lateral\u0103 a spatelui avea o v\u00e2n\u0103taie g\u0103lbuie, aproape vindecat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu o observasem.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am c\u0103zut, spusese ea cu c\u00e2teva zile \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi amintisem perfect.<\/p>\n
Eu o crezusem.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe podea l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine \u021bi-a f\u0103cut asta?<\/p>\n
Camelia nu ar\u0103ta spre Valeria.<\/p>\n
Doar \u0219optea:<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-a \u00eempins c\u00e2nd n-am vrut s\u0103 spun \u201emami\u201d.<\/p>\n
Valeria a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar pl\u00e2nsul ei nu mai avea nimic care s\u0103 m\u0103 ating\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iulian, te rog. Am \u00eencercat doar s\u0103 construiesc o familie cu tine. Ea nu m\u0103 accepta. Orice f\u0103ceam, vorbea despre Elena. Tot timpul Elena, Elena, Elena\u2026<\/p>\n
Am privit-o ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Are patru ani. Elena este mama ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar e moart\u0103!<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au lovit \u00eenc\u0103perea ca o palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Camelia s-a ascuns \u00een bra\u021bele Luciei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen momentul acela, pentru mine c\u0103snicia se terminase.<\/p>\n
Nu dup\u0103 trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n
Ci exact \u00een acea secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bia a venit la scurt timp.<\/p>\n
Camelia a fost consultat\u0103, iar \u00een zilele urm\u0103toare am urmat recomandarea speciali\u0219tilor \u0219i am l\u0103sat-o s\u0103 povesteasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s-o presez cu \u00eentreb\u0103ri repetate.<\/p>\n
Au ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103 lucruri pe care mi-a\u0219 fi dorit s\u0103 nu le aud niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valeria \u00eei lua uneori desertul \u0219i \u00eei spunea c\u0103 \u201efeti\u021bele ur\u00e2te nu primesc dulciuri\u201d.<\/p>\n
O obliga s\u0103 stea singur\u0103 \u00een camer\u0103 dac\u0103 vorbea despre mama ei.<\/p>\n
\u00cei ascunsese o fotografie cu Elena.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cel mai r\u0103u pentru mine, o convinsese c\u0103 dac\u0103 \u00eemi spune ceva, eu voi alege \u201enoua familie\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce totul \u00eencepuse s\u0103 se lini\u0219teasc\u0103, Camelia a venit l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u00een pat.<\/p>\n
\u021ainea fotografia mamei ei \u00een m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tati?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, puiule?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu m\u0103 alegi pe mine?<\/p>\n
\u00centrebarea aceea aproape m-a distrus.<\/p>\n
Am luat-o \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuie s\u0103 te aleg \u00een locul nim\u0103nui. Tu e\u0219ti copilul meu. E\u0219ti responsabilitatea mea. \u0218i trebuia s\u0103 v\u0103d mai repede c\u0103 ceva nu era \u00een regul\u0103.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi m-a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Monstrul se mai \u00eentoarce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Niciodat\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 locuiasc\u0103 aici.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe zile, Camelia a adormit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 lase veioza aprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, am g\u0103sit-o \u00een fa\u021ba oglinzii \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i prind\u0103 singur\u0103 p\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 te ajut, i-am spus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am mai \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am chinuit c\u00e2teva minute \u0219i am f\u0103cut dou\u0103 codi\u021be complet inegale.<\/p>\n
Camelia s-a privit \u00een oglind\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n
R\u00e2sul acela mi-a spus c\u0103 feti\u021ba mea \u00eenc\u0103 era acolo.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles ceva ce voi purta cu mine toat\u0103 via\u021ba:<\/p>\n
Uneori copiii nu au cuvintele adul\u021bilor pentru a explica r\u0103ul.<\/p>\n
Spun doar c\u0103 cineva este \u201eun monstru\u201d.<\/p>\n
Iar datoria noastr\u0103 nu este s\u0103 r\u00e2dem.<\/p>\n
Este s\u0103 afl\u0103m de ce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
