Am deschis filmarea pe laptop, cu ochelarii cobor\u00e2\u021bi pe v\u00e2rful nasului. Fotograful \u00eemi scrisese c\u0103 descoperise imaginile \u00een timp ce organiza materialele de la nunt\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nCamera fusese montat\u0103 pe un trepied, pe holul din fa\u021ba toaletelor, pentru c\u00e2teva cadre cu invita\u021bii care intrau \u00een salon. U\u0219a toaletei femeilor r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00eentredeschis\u0103, iar din unghiul acela se vedea o parte din \u00eenc\u0103pere.
\n\u2800
\nLa \u00eenceput am recunoscut rochia alb\u0103 a Cristinei, noua so\u021bie a ginerelui meu.
\n\u2800
\nApoi am v\u0103zut-o pe Mara, nepoata mea.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i, \u00een spatele lor, l\u00e2ng\u0103 chiuvet\u0103, st\u0103tea o alt\u0103 femeie.
\n\u2800
\nEra mama Cristinei.
\n\u2800
\nM-am apropiat de ecran.
\n\u2800
\nFemeia \u021binea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o po\u0219et\u0103 argintie \u0219i privea \u00eentreaga scen\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 intervin\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nCristina s-a aplecat spre Mara.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Mama ta nu mai este. Ie\u0219i din poze, bine?
\n\u2800
\nMara \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile la piept.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Dar tata a zis c\u0103 pot s\u0103 stau l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Tata are ast\u0103zi o familie nou\u0103, i-a r\u0103spuns Cristina. Nu vreau s\u0103-i amintim tuturor de lucruri triste.
\n\u2800
\nAtunci mama miresei a intervenit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Cristina, nu vorbi a\u0219a cu copilul.
\n\u2800
\nPentru o clip\u0103 am sim\u021bit o u\u0219urare.
\n\u2800
\nDar urm\u0103toarele ei cuvinte m-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 opresc filmarea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Trebuia s\u0103 discu\u021bi asta cu Andrei \u00eenainte de nunt\u0103, nu acum, c\u00e2nd poate s\u0103 aud\u0103 oricine.
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u0103mas privind ecranul.
\n\u2800
\nNu o deranjase ceea ce \u00eei spusese fiicei mele de cinci ani. O deranjase locul \u00een care o spusese.
\n\u2800
\nAm derulat \u00eenapoi.
\n\u2800
\nMara ie\u0219ise din \u00eenc\u0103pere f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. Abia dup\u0103 ce u\u0219a se \u00eenchisese \u00een urma ei \u00ee\u0219i dusese m\u00e2neca la ochi.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cemi aminteam perfect cum o g\u0103sisem pe hol.
\n\u2800
\nSt\u0103tea pe o b\u0103ncu\u021b\u0103, cu pantofii albi at\u00e2rn\u00e2nd deasupra podelei.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bunico, dac\u0103 apar \u00een poze, o s\u0103 se supere tata?
\n\u2800
\nO \u00eentrebasem cine \u00eei spusese asta.
\n\u2800
\nNu voise s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nLa nunt\u0103, dup\u0103 toastul meu, Andrei m\u0103 luase deoparte.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu trebuia s\u0103 faci asta \u00een fa\u021ba tuturor, \u00eemi spusese.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Dar Cristina putea s\u0103-i spun\u0103 acele lucruri Marei?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Probabil ai \u00een\u021beles gre\u0219it.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am auzit fiecare cuv\u00e2nt.
\n\u2800
\nAtunci plecasem de la petrecere cu Mara, dup\u0103 ce Andrei acceptase s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 peste noapte la mine.
\n\u2800
\nAcum aveam filmarea.
\n\u2800
\nL-am sunat pe ginerele meu \u0219i l-am rugat s\u0103 vin\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nA sosit dup\u0103 serviciu, \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00een c\u0103ma\u0219a albastr\u0103 pe care o purta de obicei la birou.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am explicat nimic.
\n\u2800
\nAm pornit videoclipul.
\n\u2800
\nL-a privit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd Cristina a rostit fraza despre familia nou\u0103, Andrei \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nLa sf\u00e2r\u0219it a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu mi-a spus niciodat\u0103 asta, a murmurat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Mara a \u00eencercat s\u0103-\u021bi spun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Mi-a zis doar c\u0103 nu vrea s\u0103 mai stea la fotografii. Am crezut c\u0103 era obosit\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nM-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Andrei, nu vreau s\u0103-\u021bi distrug c\u0103snicia. Dar feti\u021ba asta \u0219i-a pierdut mama la doi ani. Nu poate pierde \u0219i sentimentul c\u0103 are un loc l\u00e2ng\u0103 tat\u0103l ei.
\n\u2800
\nA \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u00eel mai v\u0103zusem pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd a\u0219a de la \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntarea Anei, fiica mea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 merg mai departe, mi-a spus. Am crezut c\u0103, dac\u0103 m\u0103 rec\u0103s\u0103toresc, Mara va avea din nou o familie \u00eentreag\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Mara are deja o familie. Are nevoie doar s\u0103 fie iubit\u0103 \u00een ea.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen seara aceea, Andrei a luat-o pe Mara acas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cenainte s\u0103 plece, s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een genunchi \u00een fa\u021ba ei.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Puiule, vreau s\u0103-\u021bi spun ceva. Nimeni nu are dreptul s\u0103 te scoat\u0103 din pozele mele. Tu e\u0219ti feti\u021ba mea \u0219i asta nu se schimb\u0103 niciodat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nMara l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nici dac\u0103 ai alt\u0103 so\u021bie?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Niciodat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nA doua zi, Andrei a discutat cu Cristina.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u0219tiu exact ce \u0219i-au spus. Mi-a povestit doar c\u0103 ea a \u00eencercat ini\u021bial s\u0103 explice c\u0103 voia fotografii frumoase, f\u0103r\u0103 amintiri triste.
\n\u2800
\nEl i-a ar\u0103tat filmarea.
\n\u2800
\nApoi i-a spus c\u0103 Mara nu era o amintire a fostei lui c\u0103snicii, ci copilul lui.
\n\u2800
\nCristina a venit la mine dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile.
\n\u2800
\nSt\u0103tea \u00een prag, cu m\u00e2inile \u00eempreunate.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu m\u0103 pl\u0103ce\u021bi, a \u00eenceput.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu despre asta este vorba.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am gre\u0219it cu Mara.
\n\u2800
\nAm a\u0219teptat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 M-am sim\u021bit mereu comparat\u0103 cu Ana. Toat\u0103 lumea vorbe\u0219te despre ea. \u00cen ziua nun\u021bii am vrut s\u0103 simt c\u0103, m\u0103car pentru c\u00e2teva ore, este vorba despre mine \u0219i Andrei.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ana a murit, Cristina. Nu concurezi cu ea.
\n\u2800
\nA cobor\u00e2t privirea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu. Acum \u00een\u021beleg c\u00e2t de ur\u00e2t m-am purtat.
\n\u2800
\nI-am spus c\u0103 scuzele mele nu erau cele mai importante.
\n\u2800
\nTrebuia s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 cu Mara, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o oblige s\u0103 o ierte.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i, mai ales, trebuia s\u0103-i arate prin fapte c\u0103 nu avea de g\u00e2nd s\u0103-i ia locul \u00een familie.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen urm\u0103toarele luni, lucrurile nu s-au reparat peste noapte.
\n\u2800
\nMara a continuat s\u0103 petreac\u0103 multe weekenduri la mine. Andrei a \u00eenceput s\u0103 o duc\u0103 singur \u00een parc, la \u00eenot \u0219i la gr\u0103dini\u021b\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 transforme fiecare ie\u0219ire \u00eentr-o activitate de familie cu Cristina.
\n\u2800
\nAu \u00eenceput \u0219i c\u00e2teva \u0219edin\u021be de consiliere familial\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nCristina a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 nu mai evite fotografiile Anei \u0219i s\u0103 nu mai schimbe subiectul c\u00e2nd Mara vorbea despre mama ei.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, nepoata mea mi-a povestit c\u0103 desenase la gr\u0103dini\u021b\u0103 familia.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i pe cine ai desenat? am \u00eentrebat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pe tata, pe tine, pe mami Ana \u0219i pe Cristina.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i doamna educatoare ce a zis?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 C\u0103 am o familie mare.
\n\u2800
\nAm z\u00e2mbit.
\n\u2800
\nLa \u0219ase luni dup\u0103 nunt\u0103, fotograful ne-a trimis albumul final.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei insistase ca Mara s\u0103 apar\u0103 \u00een fotografiile de familie, inclusiv \u00een cele f\u0103cute \u00eenainte de momentul \u00een care o g\u0103sisem pe hol.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centr-una dintre ele, feti\u021ba st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 tat\u0103l ei, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-l de m\u00e2n\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu z\u00e2mbea larg. P\u0103rea pu\u021bin obosit\u0103, cu o \u0219uvi\u021b\u0103 de p\u0103r desprins\u0103 din \u00eempletitur\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nDar era acolo.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei mi-a adus o copie \u00eenr\u0103mat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 o ai \u0219i tu, mi-a spus.
\n\u2800
\nAm pus-o pe comod\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 fotografia Anei din ultima noastr\u0103 vacan\u021b\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nMara a venit l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u0219i a privit cele dou\u0103 rame.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bunico, pot s\u0103 le pun una l\u00e2ng\u0103 alta?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Sigur, draga mea.
\n\u2800
\nLe-a apropiat cu grij\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen prima fotografie, Ana r\u00e2dea, cu p\u0103rul r\u0103v\u0103\u0219it de v\u00e2nt.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen cealalt\u0103, Mara \u00ee\u0219i \u021binea tat\u0103l de m\u00e2n\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 A\u0219a e mai bine, a spus feti\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nM-am uitat la ea \u0219i am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu trebuia s\u0103 alegem \u00eentre trecut \u0219i prezent.
\n\u2800
\nFiica mea nu mai putea fi l\u00e2ng\u0103 noi.
\n\u2800
\nDar nepoata mea avea tot dreptul s\u0103 creasc\u0103 \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 \u00een care numele mamei ei putea fi rostit f\u0103r\u0103 ru\u0219ine, iar locul ei \u00een familie nu era pus la \u00eendoial\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAm l\u0103sat cele dou\u0103 fotografii una l\u00e2ng\u0103 alta.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i de atunci, nimeni nu i-a mai cerut Marei s\u0103 ias\u0103 din cadru.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
