La sec\u021bie, b\u0103iatul st\u0103tea pe un scaun mare, cu picioarele at\u00e2rn\u00e2nd, \u021bin\u00e2nd \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o ma\u0219inu\u021b\u0103 stricat\u0103. Ochii lui mari \u0219i umezi priveau \u00een gol. Ofi\u021berul care-l adusese \u00ee\u0219i scoase cascheta \u0219i oft\u0103 ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103, micu\u021bule? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 el bl\u00e2nd.
\u2014 Radu\u2026 \u2014 r\u0103spunse copilul cu o voce stins\u0103.
\u2014 \u0218i unde locuie\u0219ti, Radu?
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu\u2026 C\u00e2teodat\u0103 la unchiul meu, c\u00e2teodat\u0103 nu m\u0103 las\u0103 \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Femeia de la Protec\u021bia Copilului se apropie \u0219i se aplec\u0103 spre el.
\u2014 Spune-mi, dragule, de ce mergi \u00een fiecare zi la morm\u00e2ntul acela?
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 ea e mama mea. Ea m\u0103 iubea. O simt. C\u00e2nd sunt acolo, nu mai mi-e fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cei doi func\u021bionari s-au privit \u00een t\u0103cere. Poli\u021bistul \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na peste frunte.
\u2014 Am verificat. Femeia \u00eengropat\u0103 acolo se numea Ana Marinescu. Nu a avut niciodat\u0103 copii\u2026<\/p>\n
Femeia oft\u0103 u\u0219or.
\u2014 Poate c\u0103 seam\u0103n\u0103 cu mama lui adev\u0103rat\u0103, sau\u2026 poate c\u0103 b\u0103iatul o cuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile de c\u0103ut\u0103ri, s-a aflat adev\u0103rul. Mama lui Radu murise cu doi ani \u00een urm\u0103, \u00eentr-un incendiu. Tat\u0103l lui, c\u0103zut \u00een patima b\u0103uturii, \u00eel l\u0103sase mai mult pe str\u0103zi. \u00centr-o zi, copilul se r\u0103t\u0103cise \u0219i ajunsese la cimitir. Acolo v\u0103zuse fotografia Anei \u2014 o femeie cu chip bl\u00e2nd, z\u00e2mbind cald. De atunci, \u00een mintea lui, ea devenise mama pierdut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea m-a ales\u2026 \u2014 spunea Radu celor care \u00eencercau s\u0103-l conving\u0103 c\u0103 se \u00een\u0219al\u0103. \u2014 C\u00e2nd am v\u0103zut-o, am \u0219tiut c\u0103 e ea.<\/p>\n
Asisten\u021bii sociali l-au dus \u00eentr-un centru pentru copii, dar primele zile au fost grele. Nu vorbea cu nimeni, nu m\u00e2nca, nu dormea. \u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, educatoarea l-a g\u0103sit desen\u00e2nd. Pe h\u00e2rtie era o femeie t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, cu p\u0103rul lung, st\u00e2nd l\u00e2ng\u0103 o cruce.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E mama mea, dar acum are aripi \u2014 i-a spus el z\u00e2mbind. \u2014 \u0218i m\u0103 vegheaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au ajuns la sufletul tuturor. \u00cen scurt timp, povestea b\u0103iatului s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit, iar o femeie din ora\u0219, o profesoar\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 copii, a venit s\u0103-l vad\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103, Radu, eu sunt Irina \u2014 i-a spus ea cu o voce cald\u0103. \u2014 Pot s\u0103 stau cu tine un pic?
El a dat din cap. Au vorbit ore \u00eentregi. Despre juc\u0103rii, despre ploaie, despre mame.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Irina a \u00eenceput procedura de adop\u021bie. C\u00e2nd, \u00eentr-o zi, i-a spus b\u0103iatului c\u0103 va merge acas\u0103 cu ea, Radu a l\u0103crimat.
\u2014 Dar mama\u2026 cea din cimitir? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el.
\u2014 Ea o s\u0103 fie mereu acolo, dragul meu. Dar acum e timpul s\u0103 te bucuri de via\u021b\u0103. Eu o s\u0103 fiu l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua \u00een care au plecat \u00eempreun\u0103, Radu a rugat-o s\u0103 treac\u0103 mai \u00eent\u00e2i pe la cimitir. A pus pe morm\u00e2nt o floare mic\u0103 \u0219i a \u0219optit:
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 m-ai g\u0103sit. Acum am din nou o mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
Irina l-a luat de m\u00e2n\u0103, \u0219i-au z\u00e2mbit am\u00e2ndoi. Cerul se luminase, iar printre nori a ap\u0103rut o raz\u0103 de soare. O raz\u0103 care c\u0103dea chiar peste piatra rece, acolo unde o inim\u0103 de copil \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103sise, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
