Patriciu o privi scurt, f\u0103r\u0103 interes, cum ar fi privit un obiect care trebuie s\u0103-\u0219i fac\u0103 treaba \u0219i s\u0103 dispar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cencep\u00e2nd de azi, spuse el sec, vreau ca totul s\u0103 luceasc\u0103. Nu suport praful. \u0218i dac\u0103 atingi ceva ce nu trebuie, pleci pe loc.<\/p>\n
Lumini\u021ba \u00eel privi cu ochii ei c\u0103prui calzi, f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103, dar \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 sfidare. Doar o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103, ca a cuiva care a v\u0103zut deja prea multe ca s\u0103 se mai sperie de un om ca el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen\u021beles, domnule, r\u0103spunse ea simplu, \u0219i-\u0219i \u00eencepu treaba \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Timp de c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, Patriciu o urm\u0103rea din umbr\u0103. Nu pentru c\u0103 \u00eel interesa cum munce\u0219te, ci pentru c\u0103 nu \u00een\u021belegea cum putea o femeie ca ea s\u0103 nu gre\u0219easc\u0103 niciodat\u0103. Nu se pl\u00e2ngea, nu cerea pauze, nu vorbea dec\u00e2t atunci c\u00e2nd era \u00eentrebat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, \u00een timp ce \u0219tergea o bibliotec\u0103 de lemn masiv, un tablou mare se cl\u0103tin\u0103 u\u0219or. Patriciu tres\u0103ri, gata s\u0103 \u021bipe. Dar femeia \u00eel fix\u0103 cu o privire hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi lini\u0219tit, domnule. Nu cade, spuse ea calm.<\/p>\n
Tonul acela, at\u00e2t de sigur, \u00eel irit\u0103 \u0219i \u00een acela\u0219i timp \u00eel dezarma.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? o \u00eentreb\u0103 brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lumini\u021ba, r\u0103spunse ea z\u00e2mbind u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Patriciu se sim\u021bea ciudat. De obicei, \u00ee\u0219i \u00eencepea diminea\u021ba url\u00e2nd la cineva. Dar \u00een ziua aceea, o g\u0103si pe femeie c\u00e2nt\u00e2nd \u00eencet, \u00een timp ce sp\u0103la geamurile. Era o melodie veche, de la \u021bar\u0103. O amintire dintr-o alt\u0103 lume.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e loc de c\u00e2ntat aici, \u00eei spuse el rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nt doar c\u00e2nd sunt fericit\u0103, r\u0103spunse ea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fericit\u0103? Cu un salariu mizer \u0219i un \u0219ef ca el? Patriciu se \u00eentreb\u0103 ce fel de om putea z\u00e2mbi \u00een asemenea condi\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Peste c\u00e2teva zile, dup\u0103 o \u0219edin\u021b\u0103 stresant\u0103, Patriciu se pr\u0103bu\u0219i brusc pe podeaua de marmur\u0103. Durerea i se \u00eenfipse \u00een piept ca un cu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
C\u0103zu \u00een genunchi, respir\u00e2nd cu greu.<\/p>\n
Lumini\u021ba fu prima care ajunse l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule Herdea! Domnule! strig\u0103 ea, \u0219i apoi, cu o voce ferm\u0103: \u2014 Sunt medic!<\/p>\n
Cu mi\u0219c\u0103ri sigure, \u00eei desf\u0103cu c\u0103ma\u0219a, \u00eei verific\u0103 pulsul \u0219i \u00eencepu manevrele de resuscitare. Asistenta, \u00eengrozit\u0103, privi cum femeia simpl\u0103 \u00eei salveaz\u0103 via\u021ba patronului care o trata ca pe o slug\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd ambulan\u021ba a sosit, Patriciu era con\u0219tient. Privirea i se \u00eent\u00e2lni cu a femeii. Lacrimile i se adunar\u0103 \u00een col\u021bul ochilor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu\u2026 tu e\u0219ti doctor? abia \u0219opti el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fost, odat\u0103. Dar via\u021ba m-a adus aici, spuse ea bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce s-a \u00eentors din spital, Patriciu n-a mai fost acela\u0219i om.<\/p>\n
A chemat-o pe Lumini\u021ba \u00een birou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu te-ai \u00eentors la meseria ta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 am avut nevoie de bani repede. So\u021bul meu a murit, \u0219i fiul meu studiaz\u0103 medicina. Am vrut s\u0103-l \u021bin pe linia de plutire, s\u0103 nu renun\u021be.<\/p>\n
Patriciu o ascult\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103. Pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021bea ru\u0219ine. O ru\u0219ine ad\u00e2nc\u0103, care \u00eei ap\u0103sa pieptul mai tare dec\u00e2t infarctul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, \u00eencepu s\u0103 observe altfel lumea din jur. Muncitorii care lucrau pe \u0219antier, femeile care f\u0103ceau curat, portarul care saluta mereu politicos. To\u021bi oamenii pe care \u00eei tratase ca pe ni\u0219te umbre aveau pove\u0219ti, dureri, vise.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o lun\u0103, Patriciu anun\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 va crea o funda\u021bie pentru sprijinirea tinerilor f\u0103r\u0103 posibilit\u0103\u021bi, care vor s\u0103 studieze medicina.<\/p>\n
Primul bursier a fost fiul Lumini\u021bei.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd i-a \u00eenm\u00e2nat plicul cu actele \u0219i o sum\u0103 consistent\u0103, femeia a l\u0103crimat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dumnezeu s\u0103 v\u0103 binecuv\u00e2nteze, domnule Herdea.<\/p>\n
El z\u00e2mbi amar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, Lumini\u021ba. Tu m-ai binecuv\u00e2ntat \u00eent\u00e2i. Tu mi-ai salvat via\u021ba\u2026 \u0219i sufletul.<\/p>\n
Din acea zi, biroul de la etajul 52 n-a mai fost un templu al arogan\u021bei. A devenit locul \u00een care un om care se credea zeu a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii om.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
