Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat, cu degetele \u00eenc\u0103 prinse \u00een dantela rochiei ei, \u00een timp ce vocea Anei a tremurat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ion… trebuie s\u0103-\u021bi spun ceva \u00eenainte s\u0103 mergem mai departe, a rostit ea, cu privirea cobor\u00e2t\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum aerul dintre noi s-a r\u0103cit brusc. \u00cen ochii ei era o team\u0103 pe care nu o mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, iubito? am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez glasul bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
A t\u0103cut o clip\u0103. Apoi, cu o sinceritate dureroas\u0103, a spus:
\u2014 Nu am fost singur\u0103 \u00een to\u021bi ace\u0219ti ani. \u0218i… nu sunt sigur\u0103 c\u0103 pot fi tot ce meri\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Inima mi-a tres\u0103rit. Nu de gelozie, ci de team\u0103. O team\u0103 ciudat\u0103 c\u0103 a\u0219 putea pierde ceva ce tocmai mi se \u00eentorsese dup\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana, to\u021bi am avut un trecut, am rostit \u00eencet. Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103 ce a fost. E\u0219ti aici, acum. Cu mine.<\/p>\n
Dar ea a cl\u0103tinat din cap, iar lacrimile i-au umplut ochii.
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021belegi… omul cu care am fost… a murit acum doi ani. Dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 se sting\u0103, m-a rugat s\u0103 nu-l las singur. \u0218i eu… i-am promis c\u0103 voi avea grij\u0103 de fiul lui. Un b\u0103iat de doisprezece ani.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea s-a f\u0103cut grea. M-am sprijinit de marginea patului, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi adun g\u00e2ndurile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vrei s\u0103 spui c\u0103… locuie\u0219ti cu el? am \u00eentrebat.
\u2014 Da. \u0218i vreau s\u0103-\u021bi spun \u00eenainte de a merge mai departe. Nu vreau s\u0103 \u00eencepem ceva cu o minciun\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o clip\u0103, mi-au trecut prin minte toate visurile mele \u2013 lini\u0219tea unei b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021bi al\u0103turi de ea, dimine\u021bile cu cafea, serile cu pove\u0219ti. Iar acum, toate p\u0103reau amestecate cu lacrimi \u0219i team\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar, privind-o, mi-am amintit de fata care \u00eemi d\u0103dea jum\u0103tate din sandvi\u0219ul ei la liceu, care r\u00e2dea c\u00e2nd ploua \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i ridica rochia s\u0103 sar\u0103 prin b\u0103l\u021bi. Femeia din fa\u021ba mea nu era o str\u0103in\u0103. Era aceea\u0219i Ana, doar cu mai mult\u0103 via\u021b\u0103 \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat \u0219i i-am luat m\u00e2na.
\u2014 Dac\u0103 ai avut curajul s\u0103-mi spui asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 meri\u021bi mai mult dec\u00e2t iertare. Meri\u021bi un nou \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Ea a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns \u0219i s-a sprijinit pe pieptul meu. Lacrimile ei mi-au udat c\u0103ma\u0219a, dar n-am mai contat. \u00cen seara aceea nu am vorbit despre trecut. Am vorbit despre viitor \u2013 despre b\u0103iatul pe care urma s\u0103-l cunosc, despre casa noastr\u0103, despre cum via\u021ba, la orice v\u00e2rst\u0103, poate aduce o nou\u0103 \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, l-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit pe copilul acela. Se numea Radu. Avea ochii Anei \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet care te f\u0103cea s\u0103 ui\u021bi c\u0103 lumea poate fi uneori nedreapt\u0103. Mi-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na timid \u0219i m-a \u00eentrebat:
\u2014 Dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi noul so\u021b al mamei mele?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.
\u2014 Da, b\u0103iete. Dar dac\u0103 vrei, po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui doar \u201etata\u201d.<\/p>\n
A fost prima dat\u0103, dup\u0103 moartea so\u021biei mele, c\u00e2nd am sim\u021bit din nou c\u0103 via\u021ba are rost.<\/p>\n
De atunci, casa mea nu mai e t\u0103cut\u0103. Ceasurile \u00eenc\u0103 tic\u0103ie, dar \u00eentre ele se aud r\u00e2sete, pa\u0219i mici \u0219i vocea Anei chem\u00e2ndu-ne la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Uneori, dragostea nu vine c\u00e2nd o cau\u021bi. Vine c\u00e2nd ai \u00eencetat s\u0103 mai speri. \u0218i, atunci c\u00e2nd apare, te \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 a iubi \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 accep\u021bi tot \u2013 trecutul, gre\u0219elile, \u0219i chiar lacrimile.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 adev\u0103rata iubire nu e cea care \u00eencepe \u00een tinere\u021be.
E cea care r\u0103m\u00e2ne p\u00e2n\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
