Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se taie respira\u021bia. Ochii tuturor erau a\u021binti\u021bi asupra mea, plini de ur\u0103. \u00cen clipa aceea, am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 ceva grav se \u00eent\u00e2mpla, dar nu aveam nicio idee ce ar putea fi.<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bi\u0219tii m-au privit cu seriozitate \u0219i m-au condus \u00een sufragerie. Pe mas\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 lum\u00e2n\u0103rile stinse de la priveghi, se afla o cutie de lemn. Fiica doamnei Paraschiva a lovit cutia cu palma \u0219i a spus cu o voce aspr\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 A deschis-o! Ea a f\u0103cut-o!<\/p>\n
Am clipit nedumerit\u0103. Nu \u0219tiam despre ce vorbea. Unul dintre poli\u021bi\u0219ti a desf\u0103cut \u00eencet cutia. \u00cen\u0103untru erau c\u00e2teva bijuterii vechi, c\u00e2teva acte \u0219i un plic galben, sigilat.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a fost rupt sigiliul, toat\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103perea a \u00eencremenit. \u00cen plic se afla testamentul doamnei Paraschiva. Nu l\u0103sase nimic copiilor ei, nimic rudelor care o vizitaser\u0103 doar pentru bani. Totul \u2014 casa, terenurile, economiile din banc\u0103 \u2014 era trecut pe numele meu.<\/p>\n
Un murmur de revolt\u0103 a str\u0103b\u0103tut \u00eenc\u0103perea. Rudele ei au izbucnit, arunc\u00e2nd acuza\u021bii, spun\u00e2nd c\u0103 am manipulat-o, c\u0103 i-am f\u0103cut vr\u0103ji, c\u0103 am profitat de singur\u0103tatea ei. Dar poli\u021bi\u0219tii le-au t\u0103iat elanul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Testamentul e legal, a spus unul dintre ei. A fost semnat la notar, cu martori.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103. \u00cemi tremurau m\u00e2inile. Nu-mi dorisem nimic din toate acestea. Pentru mine, doamna Paraschiva fusese ca o mam\u0103, nu o surs\u0103 de avere.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre b\u0103ie\u021bii ei s-a ridicat \u00een picioare, cu ochii injecta\u021bi de ur\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-ai s\u0103 pui tu m\u00e2na pe ce ne apar\u021bine!<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bistul s-a apropiat \u0219i i-a spus ferm:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce v\u0103 \u201eapar\u021bine\u201d a decis mama dumneavoastr\u0103. Nu dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit atunci un amestec de durere \u0219i recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. Durere pentru c\u0103 pierdusem singura persoan\u0103 care m\u0103 f\u0103cuse s\u0103 simt c\u0103 apar\u021bin undeva. Recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103, pentru c\u0103 ea, \u00een t\u0103cerea ei, m\u0103 v\u0103zuse cu adev\u0103rat \u0219i \u00eemi l\u0103sase un dar pe care nici nu-l puteam cuprinde.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele ce au urmat, rudele au continuat s\u0103 m\u0103 bat\u0103 la cap, s\u0103 \u00eencerce s\u0103 m\u0103 intimideze, dar am avut legea de partea mea. \u0218i, mai presus de toate, am avut amintirile mele cu ea.<\/p>\n
Casa doamnei Paraschiva a r\u0103mas lini\u0219tit\u0103, cu perdelele u\u0219or mi\u0219cate de v\u00e2nt, cu miros de busuioc \u0219i icoane vechi pe pere\u021bi. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, am aprins o lum\u00e2nare \u0219i am \u0219ezut \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu eram singur\u0103. \u00cen fiecare col\u021b al casei r\u0103suna parc\u0103 glasul ei cald: \u201eFata mea, ai fost singura care m-a iubit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi cear\u0103 nimic \u00een schimb.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 adev\u0103rata mo\u0219tenire nu era casa, nici banii, nici p\u0103m\u00e2nturile. Era dragostea pe care o \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219isem. Era faptul c\u0103, \u00eentr-o lume gr\u0103bit\u0103 \u0219i rece, doi oameni singuri se g\u0103siser\u0103 \u0219i se sprijiniser\u0103 unul pe altul.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, c\u00e2nd intru \u00een curte \u0219i aud greierii c\u00e2nt\u00e2nd, c\u00e2nd privesc tufele de trandafiri pe care le-am plantat \u00eempreun\u0103, \u0219tiu c\u0103 doamna Paraschiva nu a murit cu adev\u0103rat. Tr\u0103ie\u0219te \u00een amintirile mele, \u00een lucrurile pe care le-a iubit \u0219i \u00een bun\u0103tatea pe care m-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 o port mai departe.<\/p>\n
Iar dac\u0103 familia ei a r\u0103mas cu l\u0103comia, eu am r\u0103mas cu cel mai mare dar: sufletul ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i asta, nimeni nu mi-l va putea lua vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
