Cei din jur au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se foiasc\u0103, deranja\u021bi. O doamn\u0103 cu colier de perle a chemat chelneri\u021ba \u0219i i-a \u0219optit ceva pe un ton ascu\u021bit. Chelneri\u021ba s-a \u00eenro\u0219it \u0219i a privit spre b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103, dar n-a mai apucat s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic, pentru c\u0103 t\u00e2n\u0103rul chelner o servea deja cu un pahar de ap\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dori\u021bi s\u0103 vede\u021bi meniul? a \u00eentrebat-o el politicos.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Nu, dragul meu, a z\u00e2mbit b\u0103tr\u00e2na, eu… am venit pentru altceva.<\/p>\n

Toat\u0103 sala parc\u0103 \u0219i-a \u021binut respira\u021bia. Cineva a izbucnit \u00eentr-un r\u00e2s scurt, dispre\u021buitor. Un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum a spus tare:
\u2014 Poate a venit s\u0103 cer\u0219easc\u0103!<\/p>\n

B\u0103tr\u00e2na \u0219i-a a\u0219ezat m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde pe mas\u0103 \u0219i a privit \u00een jur.
\u2014 N-am venit s\u0103 cer nimic, spuse ea calm. Am venit s\u0103-mi amintesc.<\/p>\n

T\u0103cerea s-a l\u0103sat peste restaurant. T\u00e2n\u0103rul chelner a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, ne\u0219tiind ce s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Acum mul\u021bi ani, a continuat ea, \u00een locul \u0103sta era o mic\u0103 brut\u0103rie. Eu \u0219i so\u021bul meu am lucrat aici zi de zi. El cocea p\u00e2inea, iar eu vindeam. Aveam clien\u021bi care veneau din tot ora\u0219ul pentru mirosul de cozonaci proaspe\u021bi…<\/p>\n

Oamenii din jur \u00eencepuser\u0103 s-o priveasc\u0103 altfel. Chiar \u0219i chelneri\u021ba \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea ru\u0219inat\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Apoi, \u00eentr-o iarn\u0103 grea, brut\u0103ria a ars din temelii. Nu ne-am mai putut ridica dup\u0103 asta. So\u021bul meu s-a stins cur\u00e2nd, iar eu am r\u0103mas singur\u0103.<\/p>\n

A oftat ad\u00e2nc.
\u2014 De atunci, n-am mai intrat niciodat\u0103 aici… p\u00e2n\u0103 azi. Am vrut doar s\u0103 v\u0103d ce-a r\u0103s\u0103rit \u00een locul amintirilor mele.<\/p>\n

T\u00e2n\u0103rul chelner s-a emo\u021bionat. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 stea pe g\u00e2nduri, a disp\u0103rut \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie. C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, s-a \u00eentors cu o farfurie aburind\u0103, cu o felie de p\u00e2ine proasp\u0103t coapt\u0103 \u0219i pu\u021bin\u0103 miere al\u0103turi.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Nu avem cozonac, dar… am f\u0103cut asta pentru dumneavoastr\u0103. Din partea casei, a spus el cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n

B\u0103tr\u00e2na a z\u00e2mbit. Lacrimile i-au umezit ochii, dar n-a spus nimic. A rupt o buc\u0103\u021bic\u0103 din p\u00e2ine, a gustat, \u0219i a \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Da… exact a\u0219a mirosea atunci, a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n

Cei din jur au t\u0103cut complet. P\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i pianista de la col\u021b \u0219i-a oprit m\u00e2inile pe clape. \u00cen aer plutea o lini\u0219te cald\u0103, ca o rug\u0103ciune.<\/p>\n

B\u0103rbatul \u00een costum s-a ridicat, a venit la mas\u0103 \u0219i i-a spus:
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, v\u0103 rog s\u0103 m\u0103 ierta\u021bi. Am fost necuviincios.<\/p>\n

Ea i-a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.
\u2014 Nu-i nimic, fiule. Uneori, oamenii uit\u0103 c\u0103 \u0219i \u00een spatele hainelor ponosite bate tot o inim\u0103.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2nd a terminat de m\u00e2ncat, b\u0103tr\u00e2na s-a ridicat, \u0219i-a luat paltonul \u0219i s-a \u00eendreptat spre ie\u0219ire. \u00cen drum, s-a oprit l\u00e2ng\u0103 t\u00e2n\u0103rul chelner \u0219i i-a pus \u00een palm\u0103 o bancnot\u0103 mototolit\u0103 de 10 lei.<\/p>\n

\u2014 At\u00e2t pot. Dar ce mi-ai oferit tu, dragul meu, valoreaz\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t to\u021bi banii din lume.<\/p>\n

T\u00e2n\u0103rul a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2nd u\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00een urma ei, \u00een restaurant domnea o t\u0103cere ap\u0103s\u0103toare. To\u021bi sim\u021beau c\u0103 fuseser\u0103 martori la ceva ce nu se cump\u0103r\u0103 cu bani \u2014 o lec\u021bie de bun\u0103tate \u0219i de demnitate.<\/p>\n

A doua zi, patronul restaurantului a venit \u0219i a \u00eentrebat de b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103. Nimeni n-a \u0219tiut s\u0103-i spun\u0103 nimic. Dar acolo, pe masa unde ea st\u0103tuse, cineva g\u0103sise un bilet mic, scris tremurat:<\/p>\n

\u201eMul\u021bumesc pentru o clip\u0103 de omenie. Nu voi uita niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0218i din ziua aceea, la restaurantul acela scump, a ap\u0103rut o regul\u0103 nou\u0103: \u00een fiecare sear\u0103, o mas\u0103 era l\u0103sat\u0103 liber\u0103, \u201epentru un oaspete nea\u0219teptat\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
