Bunica nu r\u0103spunse imediat.<\/p>\n
Se uit\u0103 la scaunul gol, apoi la ceasul de pe perete.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru cineva care ar trebui s\u0103 ajung\u0103 \u00een cur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Mama m\u0103 privi nedumerit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, cine?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi pu\u021bin\u0103 r\u0103bdare.<\/p>\n
Ne-am a\u0219ezat cu to\u021bii la mas\u0103, dar nimeni nu avea poft\u0103 de m\u00e2ncare.<\/p>\n
Copiii erau singurii care nu \u00een\u021belegeau tensiunea. Alergau \u00eentre camere, luau buc\u0103\u021bi de pl\u0103cint\u0103 \u0219i r\u00e2deau.<\/p>\n
Noi, adul\u021bii, o urm\u0103ream pe bunica la fiecare mi\u0219care.<\/p>\n
La un moment dat, unchiul meu nu mai rezist\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, te rog. Dac\u0103 e\u0219ti bolnav\u0103, spune-ne.<\/p>\n
Bunica \u00ee\u0219i l\u0103s\u0103 lingura jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fost la medic.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 masa \u00eencremeni.<\/p>\n
Mama \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
Bunica oft\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i medicul mi-a spus c\u0103, pentru v\u00e2rsta mea, sunt surprinz\u0103tor de bine.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde nimeni nu \u00een\u021belese.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 m\u0103tu\u0219a Linda.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact cum am spus. Inima \u00eenc\u0103 merge. Analizele nu sunt perfecte, dar nici eu nu mai am dou\u0103zeci de ani.<\/p>\n
Mama aproape strig\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci de ce ne-ai spus c\u0103 este ultima noastr\u0103 cin\u0103?!<\/p>\n
Bunica ridic\u0103 ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 este.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea reveni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ultima cin\u0103 \u00een casa asta.<\/p>\n
Am privit-o f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n
Bunica se ridic\u0103 \u00eencet \u0219i lu\u0103 un plic gros de pe bufet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am v\u00e2ndut casa.<\/p>\n
Mama se ridic\u0103 brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai f\u0103cut ce?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am v\u00e2ndut-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ne spui?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Este casa mea, r\u0103spunse bunica simplu.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu mai spuse nimic.<\/p>\n
Bunica se uit\u0103 \u00een jurul mesei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi c\u00e2te camere are casa asta?<\/p>\n
Fratele meu ridic\u0103 din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Patru?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cinci. \u0218ti\u021bi c\u00e2te folosesc?<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu r\u0103spunse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103. Buc\u0103t\u0103ria \u0219i dormitorul. \u00cen rest, \u0219terg praful de pe lucrurile oamenilor care nu mai locuiesc aici.<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l vostru a murit acum doisprezece ani. Voi a\u021bi plecat cu mult \u00eenainte. Nepo\u021bii au crescut. Str\u0103nepo\u021bii vin de dou\u0103 ori pe an. Eu am r\u0103mas aici p\u0103zind camere goale \u0219i a\u0219tept\u00e2nd telefoane.<\/p>\n
Mama \u00eencepu s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu v\u0103 acuz.<\/p>\n
Bunica o opri cu m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi vie\u021bile voastre. A\u0219a trebuie s\u0103 fie. Numai c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi mi-am dat seama c\u0103 \u0219i eu \u00eenc\u0103 mai am una.<\/p>\n
Exact atunci se auzi soneria.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi \u00eentoarser\u0103m capetele.<\/p>\n
Bunica z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A venit.<\/p>\n
Se duse la u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva clipe se \u00eentoarse al\u0103turi de un b\u0103rbat \u00eenalt, cu p\u0103rul complet alb, sprijinit \u00eentr-un baston.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rea s\u0103 aib\u0103 aproximativ v\u00e2rsta ei.<\/p>\n
Bunica \u00eel conduse direct spre scaunul gol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 El este Petre.<\/p>\n
Mama se uit\u0103 la b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
Apoi la bunica.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine este Petre?<\/p>\n
Bunica ro\u0219i.<\/p>\n
La 87 de ani, bunica mea ro\u0219ea ca o adolescent\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Prietenul meu.<\/p>\n
M\u0103tu\u0219a Linda aproape sc\u0103p\u0103 paharul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Prietenul t\u0103u?!<\/p>\n
Petre z\u00e2mbi st\u00e2njenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare bine s\u0103 v\u0103 cunosc, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cele dou\u0103 cuvinte ne f\u0103cur\u0103 pe to\u021bi s\u0103 ne uit\u0103m \u0219i mai mira\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Bunica izbucni \u00een r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ne cunoa\u0219tem de aproape un an.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Un an?! exclam\u0103 mama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La pia\u021b\u0103, explic\u0103 bunica. Ne certam pentru ultima leg\u0103tur\u0103 de p\u0103trunjel.<\/p>\n
Petre interveni:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea a c\u00e2\u0219tigat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Normal c\u0103 am c\u00e2\u0219tigat, spuse bunica.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea sear\u0103 am r\u00e2s cu to\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Apoi bunica ne explic\u0103 adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Petre era v\u0103duv.<\/p>\n
Locuia \u00eentr-un or\u0103\u0219el la aproape 200 de kilometri distan\u021b\u0103, unde avea o cas\u0103 mic\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 un lac.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ultimele luni, vorbiser\u0103 zilnic.<\/p>\n
Se vizitaser\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar bunica luase o decizie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 mut.<\/p>\n
Mama p\u0103rea incapabil\u0103 s\u0103 proceseze informa\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu el?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu chiar cu el. Casa lui are o anex\u0103 mic\u0103, separat\u0103. O voi amenaja pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Petre z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De\u0219i probabil va sta mai mult \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria mea dec\u00e2t \u00een casa ei.<\/p>\n
Bunica \u00eel lovi u\u0219or peste bra\u021b.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te obi\u0219nui.<\/p>\n
Apoi se \u00eentoarse c\u0103tre noi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am 87 de ani. Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 mai am zece ani, doi ani sau \u0219ase luni. Dar timpul care mi-a r\u0103mas nu vreau s\u0103-l petrec st\u00e2nd l\u00e2ng\u0103 telefon \u0219i a\u0219tept\u00e2nd s\u0103 v\u0103 aminti\u021bi c\u0103 exist.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele acelea au durut.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 erau adev\u0103rate.<\/p>\n
Ne spuseser\u0103m mereu c\u0103 bunica \u201eera bine\u201d.<\/p>\n
C\u0103 avea vecini.<\/p>\n
C\u0103 o sunam.<\/p>\n
C\u0103 urma s\u0103 mergem weekendul viitor.<\/p>\n
Apoi weekendul viitor devenea luna urm\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
\u0218i luna urm\u0103toare devenea Cr\u0103ciunul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De aceea ai dat lucrurile? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
A dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot lua o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103 dup\u0103 mine. Albumele sunt pentru voi. Vaza am dat-o unei femei care o admira de dou\u0103zeci de ani. Mobila va merge unde este nevoie de ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i banii din cas\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 unchiul.<\/p>\n
Bunica \u00eel privi at\u00e2t de sever, \u00eenc\u00e2t el cobor\u00ee imediat ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O parte \u00eei p\u0103strez ca s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc.<\/p>\n
Apoi z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218ocant, \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
Am r\u00e2s din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Restul \u00eel \u00eempart \u00eentre voi c\u00e2t \u00eenc\u0103 sunt aici \u0219i pot vedea dac\u0103 face\u021bi vreo prostie cu el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103! protest\u0103 Linda.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce? Dup\u0103 ce mor, n-o s\u0103 mai pot comenta.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea am stat la mas\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 aproape de miezul nop\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Bunica ne-a povestit lucruri pe care nu le mai auzisem.<\/p>\n
Despre primul ei salariu.<\/p>\n
Despre bunicul.<\/p>\n
Despre ziua \u00een care aproape fugise de acas\u0103 \u00eenainte de nunt\u0103 pentru c\u0103 se certaser\u0103 din cauza unei perechi de pantofi.<\/p>\n
Despre c\u00e2t de greu fusese primul an dup\u0103 moartea lui.<\/p>\n
\u0218i despre c\u00e2t de ru\u0219ine \u00eei fusese c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103duse seama c\u0103, la 86 de ani, \u00eei pl\u0103cea din nou de un b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
La plecare, am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at-o.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunico, de ce ai spus \u201eultima cin\u0103\u201d? Puteai pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 ne spui c\u0103 vinzi casa.<\/p>\n
M-a privit cu acea expresie \u0219ireat\u0103 pe care o avea c\u00e2nd eram copil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i a\u021bi fi venit to\u021bi?<\/p>\n
Am deschis gura.<\/p>\n
Apoi am \u00eenchis-o.<\/p>\n
Bunica z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact.<\/p>\n
Trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu s-a mutat.<\/p>\n
Am mers cu to\u021bii s-o ajut\u0103m.<\/p>\n
Casa ei nou\u0103 era mic\u0103, luminoas\u0103 \u0219i avea o teras\u0103 orientat\u0103 spre lac.<\/p>\n
Petre locuia la nici treizeci de metri.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prima fotografie pe care ne-a trimis-o dup\u0103 mutare, bunica st\u0103tea pe teras\u0103 \u00een pantofii ei ro\u0219ii, cu o cea\u0219c\u0103 de cafea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
Petre era l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Sub fotografie scrisese:<\/p>\n
\u201eSunt bine. Nu v\u0103 face\u021bi griji. \u0218i nu veni\u021bi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 suna\u021bi. S-ar putea s\u0103 am planuri.\u201d<\/p>\n
Avea 87 de ani.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00een timp ce noi ne preg\u0103tiser\u0103m s\u0103 ne lu\u0103m r\u0103mas-bun de la ea, bunica nu \u00ee\u0219i preg\u0103tea sf\u00e2r\u0219itul.<\/p>\n
