Aline sim\u021bea cum tensiunea din aer o apas\u0103. Pavel Andreevici o privea cu un amestec de ezitare \u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2re, ca \u0219i cum purta o povar\u0103 greu de spus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen urm\u0103 cu mul\u021bi ani, a \u00eenceput el, lucram \u00eentr-o fabric\u0103 din ora\u0219ul t\u0103u natal. Eram t\u00e2n\u0103r, naiv \u0219i\u2026 \u00eendr\u0103gostit. Fata pe care o iubeam se numea Marina. Avea z\u00e2mbetul t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Aline tres\u0103ri. Numele acesta \u00eei era cunoscut. Marina fusese mama ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fost logodi\u021bi, dar familia mea nu a fost de acord. Eram s\u0103raci \u0219i tat\u0103l ei voia altceva pentru ea. Am gre\u0219it\u2026 am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 lupt pentru noi.<\/p>\n
Vocea i se fr\u00e2nse pentru o clip\u0103.
\u2014 C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, am aflat c\u0103 era \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103. Am vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc, dar era prea t\u00e2rziu. Se mutase, iar p\u0103rin\u021bii ei nu mi-au mai dat nicio veste. Am tr\u0103it cu aceast\u0103 vin\u0103 toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Aline sim\u021bea cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul. M\u00e2inile \u00eei erau reci, dar nu voia s\u0103-l \u00eentrerup\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd am intrat prima oar\u0103 \u00een cafenea \u0219i te-am v\u0103zut\u2026 \u0219tiam c\u0103 e\u0219ti ea. Ochii t\u0103i, gesturile tale\u2026 e\u0219ti fiica mea, Aline.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea se l\u0103s\u0103 peste mas\u0103. Zgomotul din cafenea p\u0103rea departe, ca \u0219i cum lumea \u00eentreag\u0103 se oprise.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i bac\u0219i\u0219urile? reu\u0219i ea s\u0103 \u00eentrebe, cu un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu sunt doar bac\u0219i\u0219uri. Sunt modul meu st\u00e2ngaci de a-\u021bi spune \u201e\u00eemi pare r\u0103u\u201d. \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu pot recupera anii pierdu\u021bi, dar vreau s\u0103 te ajut. Vreau s\u0103 fii bine, s\u0103 mergi la facultate, s\u0103 ai via\u021ba pe care mama ta a visat-o pentru tine.<\/p>\n
Aline se ridic\u0103, sim\u021bindu-\u0219i inima b\u0103t\u00e2nd nebune\u0219te. \u00ce\u0219i amintea toate serile c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i dorise s\u0103 aib\u0103 un tat\u0103, pe cineva care s\u0103 o protejeze. \u0218i acum, omul acela st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai a\u0219teptat toat\u0103 via\u021ba s\u0103-mi spui asta?<\/p>\n
Pavel \u00ee\u0219i plec\u0103 privirea.
\u2014 Mi-a fost team\u0103. Dar c\u00e2nd te-am v\u0103zut, am \u0219tiut c\u0103 nu mai pot tr\u0103i f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eencerc s\u0103 repar ceva.<\/p>\n
Ochii Alinei se umpluser\u0103 de lacrimi. Nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103-l \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eze sau s\u0103 fug\u0103. \u00cen ad\u00e2ncul sufletului, sim\u021bea furie pentru absen\u021ba lui, dar \u0219i o c\u0103ldur\u0103 nou\u0103 pentru curajul de a veni acum.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei, spuse el \u00eencet, te pot sprijini s\u0103-\u021bi continui studiile. \u0218i, dac\u0103 \u00eemi permi\u021bi, a\u0219 vrea s\u0103 te cunosc cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Aline respir\u0103 ad\u00e2nc. \u00ce\u0219i aminti de vorbele mamei din copil\u0103rie: \u201eOamenii gre\u0219esc, dar \u0219i inima poate alege s\u0103 ierte.\u201d<\/p>\n
Se ridic\u0103 \u0219i \u00eentinse m\u00e2na spre el.
\u2014 Nu pot promite c\u0103 va fi u\u0219or\u2026 dar putem \u00eencerca.<\/p>\n
Pavel \u00eei str\u00e2nse m\u00e2na cu emo\u021bie. \u00cen ochii lui, pentru prima dat\u0103, se vedea un lic\u0103r de pace.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd au ie\u0219it din cafenea, aerul serii p\u0103rea mai cald, iar lumina felinarelor mai bl\u00e2nd\u0103. Poate c\u0103 via\u021ba nu \u00eei oferise \u00eenceputul dorit, dar acum aveau ocazia s\u0103 scrie \u00eempreun\u0103 un capitol nou.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru Aline, acest lucru valora mai mult dec\u00e2t to\u021bi banii l\u0103sa\u021bi vreodat\u0103 pe o mas\u0103 de cafenea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
