Ana a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva clipe privind masa goal\u0103, unde mai \u00eenainte fusese sprijinit b\u0103rbatul misterios. Cartea de vizit\u0103 \u00eei ardea \u00een buzunar, dar g\u00e2ndul la chirie \u0219i la medicamentele mamei \u00eei t\u0103ia orice curiozitate. Se gr\u0103bi s\u0103 sting\u0103 lumina \u0219i s\u0103 trag\u0103 z\u0103vorul, convins\u0103 c\u0103 a fost doar un episod straniu \u00eentr-o zi grea.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba urm\u0103toare, \u00een timp ce fierbea ceai pentru mama ei, privirea i-a c\u0103zut din nou pe bucata de carton. Numele tip\u0103rit cu litere aurii era \u201eMihai Ardeleanu\u201d. \u00cei suna cunoscut, dar nu \u0219tia de unde. A \u00eencercat s\u0103 alunge g\u00e2ndul \u0219i s-a \u00eendreptat spre munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pe drum, trec\u00e2nd prin pia\u021b\u0103, a auzit doi b\u0103rba\u021bi discut\u00e2nd aprins. Vorbeau despre un milionar din ora\u0219, l\u0103sat de mireas\u0103 chiar la altar. Ana a sim\u021bit cum inima i se str\u00e2nge. Coinciden\u021ba era prea mare.<\/p>\n
La bar, ziua a \u00eenceput la fel de greu ca oricare alta. Clien\u021bi gr\u0103bi\u021bi, comenzi amestecate, pahare sparte. Dar, spre sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd oboseala devenise insuportabil\u0103, u\u0219a s-a deschis din nou. De data asta, Mihai a intrat hot\u0103r\u00e2t, cu pasul ferm \u0219i costumul impecabil.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bun\u0103 seara, Ana, i-a spus simplu, ca \u0219i cum o cuno\u0219tea de o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a r\u0103mas uimit\u0103. Cum \u00eei \u0219tia numele? Apoi \u0219i-a amintit: pe ecusonul de la uniform\u0103 era scris cu litere mici \u201eAna\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Asear\u0103\u2026 mi-ai f\u0103cut un bine f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tep\u021bi nimic \u00een schimb. Vreau s\u0103-\u021bi mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n
Ana a ro\u0219it \u0219i a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ascund\u0103 dup\u0103 tejghea. Dar b\u0103rbatul nu se gr\u0103bea. Comand\u0103 un ceai, apoi o \u00eentreb\u0103 despre via\u021ba ei. La \u00eenceput, fata a r\u0103spuns evaziv. Apoi, pe nesim\u021bite, a \u00eenceput s\u0103-i povesteasc\u0103 despre mama bolnav\u0103, despre grija zilei de m\u00e2ine \u0219i despre visul ei de a deschide c\u00e2ndva o mic\u0103 patiserie.<\/p>\n
Mihai asculta atent, f\u0103r\u0103 a-\u0219i ar\u0103ta g\u00e2ndurile. \u00cen ochii lui se vedea \u00eens\u0103 o c\u0103ldur\u0103 pe care nici banii, nici averile nu i-o d\u0103duser\u0103 vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile ce au urmat, a revenit aproape \u00een fiecare sear\u0103. Nu ca un om bogat care \u00ee\u0219i caut\u0103 distrac\u021bia, ci ca un prieten care \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103sise alinarea. \u00cei aducea flori din pia\u021b\u0103, nu scumpe, ci simple, de c\u00e2mp, care \u00eei aminteau Anei de copil\u0103rie. \u00cei aducea coliv\u0103 de la biseric\u0103 dup\u0103 vreo pomenire, spun\u00e2ndu-i cu un z\u00e2mbet c\u0103 \u201ea\u0219a se face la noi, s\u0103 se dea din suflet\u201d.<\/p>\n
Cu timpul, oamenii din sat au \u00eenceput s\u0103 b\u00e2rfeasc\u0103. \u201eCe caut\u0103 milionarul \u0103la la barul pr\u0103p\u0103dit?\u201d, \u00eentrebau unii. \u201eNu se poate s\u0103 se uite la o fat\u0103 s\u0103rac\u0103\u201d, r\u00e2deau al\u021bii. Dar Ana \u0219i Mihai nu l\u0103sau vorbele s\u0103 le tulbure serile.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, Mihai a venit la casa modest\u0103 a Anei, duc\u00e2nd \u00een bra\u021be o plas\u0103 cu medicamente \u0219i alimente. Mama fetei, sl\u0103bit\u0103, l-a privit cu ochii umezi \u0219i i-a spus \u00eencet:
\u2013 Dumnezeu s\u0103-\u021bi r\u0103spl\u0103teasc\u0103, b\u0103iete\u2026 ai inim\u0103 bun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Mihai a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 g\u0103sise familia pe care o pierduse \u00een goana dup\u0103 bani.<\/p>\n
Timpul a trecut, iar \u00eentr-o zi de prim\u0103var\u0103, Mihai a luat-o pe Ana de m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i a dus-o \u00een fa\u021ba unei cl\u0103diri vechi, cu obloane scorojite.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Aici a fost c\u00e2ndva o cofet\u0103rie renumit\u0103, i-a spus. Vreau s\u0103 fie a ta.<\/p>\n
Ana a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 glas. \u00cei tremurau genunchii, dar ochii i se umpluser\u0103 de lacrimi. Nu era vorba doar de un gest de bog\u0103ta\u0219, ci de \u00eemplinirea visului pentru care muncise ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cur\u00e2nd, mirosul de cozonaci \u0219i pl\u0103cinte calde s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit pe str\u0103zile ora\u0219ului. Localul \u201eLa Ana\u201d devenise locul unde oamenii veneau nu doar pentru pr\u0103jituri, ci pentru o f\u0103r\u00e2m\u0103 de speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar la fiecare mas\u0103 din col\u021b, acolo unde odinioar\u0103 un b\u0103rbat r\u0103t\u0103cit \u0219i o fat\u0103 s\u0103rac\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219iser\u0103 durerile, st\u0103tea acum mereu un buchet de flori de c\u00e2mp. Simbol al unui \u00eenceput nea\u0219teptat, n\u0103scut din lacrimi \u0219i transformat \u00een iubire adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A\u0219a, dintr-o \u00eent\u00e2lnire \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103toare \u00eentr-un bar uitat de lume, s-a scris o poveste rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 despre puterea inimii, despre cum dragostea nu \u00eentreab\u0103 c\u00e2t ai \u00een portofel, ci c\u00e2t\u0103 lumin\u0103 por\u021bi \u00een suflet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
