C\u0103t\u0103lin a citit primul mesaj, apoi pe al doilea. La al treilea, \u0219i-a scos ochelarii \u0219i i-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 cea\u0219ca de cafea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Elena, pot s\u0103 te \u00eentreb ceva? Apartamentul \u00een care locuie\u0219ti este pe numele t\u0103u?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da. Al meu \u0219i al lui Petre a fost. Dup\u0103 ce a murit, am f\u0103cut succesiunea. Acum este pe numele meu.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i fiul t\u0103u de ce \u00ee\u021bi cere s\u0103 semnezi o procur\u0103 pentru banc\u0103?
\n\u2800
\nAm ridicat din umeri.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Spune c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 m\u0103 ajute cu ni\u0219te formalit\u0103\u021bi. Eu nu prea m\u0103 pricep la lucrurile astea.
\n\u2800
\nC\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eentors telefonul spre mine.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Aici scrie c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 \u00eei dai dreptul s\u0103 constituie garan\u021bii asupra bunurilor tale. Asta nu e o simpl\u0103 formalitate.
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.
\n\u2800
\nM\u0103 numesc Elena, am \u0219aizeci \u0219i trei de ani \u0219i, p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een diminea\u021ba aceea, crezusem c\u0103 fiul meu, R\u0103zvan, \u00eencearc\u0103 doar s\u0103 m\u0103 scuteasc\u0103 de drumuri la banc\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nC\u0103t\u0103lin fusese contabil aproape patruzeci de ani. Nu era avocat \u0219i nici nu pretindea c\u0103 \u0219tie toate legile, dar \u00een\u021belegea suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eemi spun\u0103 c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 cer explica\u021bii \u00eenainte de a semna.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 bag \u00eentre tine \u0219i b\u0103iatul t\u0103u, mi-a spus. Dar du documentele la un notar sau la un avocat. \u0218i nu semna nimic p\u00e2n\u0103 nu afli exact ce \u00eenseamn\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAm deschis din nou conversa\u021bia cu R\u0103zvan.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen ultimele cinci dimine\u021bi \u00eemi trimisese aproape acela\u0219i mesaj.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eMam\u0103, ai semnat?\u201d
\n\u2800
\n\u201eMam\u0103, banca a\u0219teapt\u0103.\u201d
\n\u2800
\n\u201eMam\u0103, nu m\u0103 pune s\u0103 vin dup\u0103 tine p\u00e2n\u0103 la mare.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nNu m\u0103 \u00eentrebase niciodat\u0103 dac\u0103 sunt bine.
\n\u2800
\nNici dac\u0103 m\u00e2ncasem, dac\u0103 dormisem sau dac\u0103 m\u0103 bucuram de vacan\u021b\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nL-am sunat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 R\u0103zvan, pentru ce sunt actele?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u021ai-am explicat deja. Pentru un credit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Al cui credit?
\n\u2800
\nA t\u0103cut o clip\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Al meu, mam\u0103. Dar nu trebuie s\u0103 te \u00eengrijorezi.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i apartamentul meu ce leg\u0103tur\u0103 are?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Trebuie pus garan\u021bie. Doar temporar.
\n\u2800
\nM-am uitat la C\u0103t\u0103lin, care st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba mea \u0219i privea spre mare.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 De ce nu mi-ai spus asta de la \u00eenceput?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiam c\u0103 o s\u0103 faci exact a\u0219a. O s\u0103 te sperii degeaba.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 C\u00e2\u021bi bani vrei s\u0103 \u00eemprumu\u021bi?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 O sut\u0103 optzeci de mii de lei.
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.
\n\u2800
\nR\u0103zvan avea treizeci \u0219i \u0219apte de ani, o so\u021bie \u0219i doi copii. \u00cel ajutasem de multe ori. \u00cei pl\u0103tisem avansul pentru ma\u0219in\u0103, \u00eei cump\u0103rasem mobil\u0103 c\u00e2nd se mutase \u0219i, dup\u0103 moartea lui Petre, \u00eei d\u0103dusem aproape toate economiile noastre pentru renovarea casei.
\n\u2800
\nDar niciodat\u0103 nu \u00eemi ceruse s\u0103 garantez un \u00eemprumut at\u00e2t de mare cu locuin\u021ba mea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu semnez, i-am spus.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Poftim?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu semnez p\u00e2n\u0103 nu vorbesc cu un avocat.
\n\u2800
\nVocea i s-a schimbat imediat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Aha. Deci acum te \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 necunoscutul \u0103la cum s\u0103 te por\u021bi cu propriul copil?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 C\u0103t\u0103lin nu mi-a cerut nimic. Doar mi-a spus s\u0103 citesc actele.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Tata n-ar fi permis niciodat\u0103 a\u0219a ceva.
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit o durere veche, cunoscut\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nPetre fusese un om bun, dar ultimii \u0219apte ani din via\u021b\u0103 \u00eei petrecuse bolnav. \u00cel \u00eengrijisem zi \u0219i noapte. \u00cei schimbasem pansamentele, \u00eel ajutasem s\u0103 se ridice din pat \u0219i renun\u021basem la concedii, la prietene \u0219i la aproape toate lucrurile care \u00eemi f\u0103ceau pl\u0103cere.
\n\u2800
\nNu regretam c\u0103 avusesem grij\u0103 de el.
\n\u2800
\nDar eram obosit\u0103 s\u0103 mi se spun\u0103 c\u0103 via\u021ba mea trebuia s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 odat\u0103 cu a lui.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Tat\u0103l t\u0103u nu mai este aici, R\u0103zvan. Iar eu \u00eenc\u0103 sunt.
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eenchis telefonul.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen seara aceea, C\u0103t\u0103lin m-a invitat la un restaurant mic, aproape de falez\u0103. Am m\u00e2ncat pe\u0219te \u0219i am vorbit despre copiii no\u0219tri, despre c\u0103r\u021bile pe care nu avuseser\u0103m timp s\u0103 le citim \u0219i despre c\u00e2t de ciudat este s\u0103 te treze\u0219ti singur dup\u0103 o c\u0103snicie lung\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nSo\u021bia lui murise cu patru ani \u00eenainte.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 La \u00eenceput, m\u0103 sim\u021beam vinovat \u0219i c\u00e2nd ie\u0219eam la o cafea, mi-a m\u0103rturisit. Parc\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 cer voie cuiva.
\n\u2800
\nAm z\u00e2mbit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Eu \u00eenc\u0103 m\u0103 simt a\u0219a.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Poate c\u0103 avem nevoie de pu\u021bin timp.
\n\u2800
\nNu m-a luat de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i nu mi-a promis nimic.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a turnat doar ap\u0103 \u00een pahar \u0219i m-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 vreau desert.
\n\u2800
\nA doua zi m-am \u00eentors la T\u00e2rgovi\u0219te.
\n\u2800
\nAm mers direct la o avocat\u0103 recomandat\u0103 de o fost\u0103 coleg\u0103. I-am ar\u0103tat documentele \u0219i mesajele.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a explicat c\u0103, dac\u0103 acceptam constituirea unei ipoteci asupra apartamentului pentru creditul lui R\u0103zvan, locuin\u021ba mea putea fi executat\u0103 silit \u00een cazul \u00een care el nu \u00ee\u0219i respecta obliga\u021biile de plat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAm ie\u0219it din cabinet cu m\u00e2inile reci.
\n\u2800
\nNu era vorba despre ni\u0219te h\u00e2rtii.
\n\u2800
\nEra vorba despre casa \u00een care tr\u0103isem treizeci \u0219i cinci de ani.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd R\u0103zvan a venit \u00een acea sear\u0103, i-am spus c\u0103 nu voi garanta creditul.
\n\u2800
\nS-a \u00eenfuriat.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a repro\u0219at c\u0103 nu \u00eemi pas\u0103 de nepo\u021bi, c\u0103 sunt egoist\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103 un b\u0103rbat cunoscut pe plaj\u0103 devenise mai important dec\u00e2t familia.
\n\u2800
\nL-am ascultat p\u00e2n\u0103 a terminat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 R\u0103zvan, te iubesc. Dar nu \u00eemi voi pune casa \u00een pericol pentru un \u00eemprumut despre care nici m\u0103car nu ai avut curajul s\u0103-mi vorbe\u0219ti deschis.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Atunci s\u0103 nu m\u0103 mai cau\u021bi c\u00e2nd ai nevoie de ceva.
\n\u2800
\nA plecat tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a.
\n\u2800
\nAm pl\u00e2ns \u00een seara aceea.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru c\u0103 regretam decizia, ci pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi d\u0103deam seama c\u00e2t de mult se schimbase rela\u021bia noastr\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nTrei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, nora mea m-a sunat.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a spus c\u0103 R\u0103zvan \u00eencerca s\u0103 acopere ni\u0219te datorii ale firmei lui \u0219i c\u0103 situa\u021bia era mai complicat\u0103 dec\u00e2t \u00eemi explicase.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u0219tia nici ea c\u0103 inten\u021bionase s\u0103 foloseasc\u0103 apartamentul meu drept garan\u021bie.
\n\u2800
\nDup\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 o lun\u0103, R\u0103zvan a venit singur.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u0219i-a cerut scuze imediat.
\n\u2800
\nAm b\u0103ut cafeaua \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am vorbit despre copii, despre serviciu \u0219i despre problemele lui financiare.
\n\u2800
\nAbia c\u00e2nd s-a ridicat s\u0103 plece mi-a spus:
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Mam\u0103, am fost nedrept cu tine.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da, ai fost.
\n\u2800
\nA dat din cap.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.
\n\u2800
\nL-am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am oferit apartamentul \u0219i nici bani. Dar i-am spus c\u0103 \u00eel pot ajuta s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 un specialist care s\u0103 \u00eel sf\u0103tuiasc\u0103 \u00een privin\u021ba datoriilor.
\n\u2800
\nA acceptat.
\n\u2800
\nCu C\u0103t\u0103lin am continuat s\u0103 vorbesc la telefon. Uneori zilnic, alteori doar \u00een weekend.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen noiembrie a venit la T\u00e2rgovi\u0219te \u0219i am mers \u00eempreun\u0103 la teatru. \u00cen decembrie am petrecut trei zile la Bra\u0219ov.
\n\u2800
\nNu ne-am mutat \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu am f\u0103cut planuri mari.
\n\u2800
\nLa v\u00e2rsta noastr\u0103, am\u00e2ndoi \u00een\u021beleseser\u0103m c\u0103 apropierea nu trebuie gr\u0103bit\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, R\u0103zvan a venit cu nepo\u021bii \u0219i l-a cunoscut pe C\u0103t\u0103lin.
\n\u2800
\nAu stat de vorb\u0103 aproape o or\u0103. Nu a fost o \u00eent\u00e2lnire perfect\u0103, dar nici nu a sem\u0103nat cu cearta de la hotel.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd au plecat, fiul meu m-a \u00eentrebat:
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 E\u0219ti fericit\u0103, mam\u0103?
\n\u2800
\nM-am g\u00e2ndit pu\u021bin \u00eenainte s\u0103 r\u0103spund.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da. Cred c\u0103 sunt.
\n\u2800
\nA z\u00e2mbit st\u00e2njenit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Atunci m\u0103 bucur.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen seara aceea, dup\u0103 ce am r\u0103mas singur\u0103, am scos din sertar o fotografie cu Petre.
\n\u2800
\nEra f\u0103cut\u0103 cu mul\u021bi ani \u00een urm\u0103, \u00eentr-o vacan\u021b\u0103 la mare. St\u0103team am\u00e2ndoi pe nisip, tineri \u0219i bronza\u021bi, iar el m\u0103 \u021binea de umeri.
\n\u2800
\nAm privit fotografia c\u00e2teva minute, apoi am pus-o \u00eenapoi la locul ei, l\u00e2ng\u0103 celelalte amintiri.
\n\u2800
\nPetre fusese o parte uria\u0219\u0103 din via\u021ba mea. \u00cel iubisem \u0219i \u00eel \u00eengrijisem p\u00e2n\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u0219it.
\n\u2800
\nDar \u00een diminea\u021ba urm\u0103toare aveam s\u0103 m\u0103 trezesc, s\u0103-mi beau cafeaua \u0219i s\u0103-mi continui via\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nIar pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 doi ani, g\u00e2ndul acesta nu m\u0103 mai f\u0103cea s\u0103 m\u0103 simt vinovat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
