Directorul se aplec\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 o vorb\u0103, ridic\u0103 micu\u021bul creion \u0219i \u00eel privi c\u00e2teva clipe \u00een t\u0103cere. Apoi se aplec\u0103 spre Liza \u0219i, cu un z\u00e2mbet cald, i-l \u00eentinse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cred c\u0103 \u021bi-a sc\u0103pat ceva, micu\u021bo, spuse el bl\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Liza clipea uimit\u0103, iar Sofia, ru\u0219inat\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 peste cap, \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar b\u0103rbatul ridic\u0103 u\u0219or m\u00e2na, oprind-o.
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, cred c\u0103 nu am avut pl\u0103cerea s\u0103 ne cunoa\u0219tem. Eu sunt Marin Andrei, directorul general. Dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi… Sofia, da?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da… Sofia Ionescu, r\u0103spunse ea \u00eencet, cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Svetlana \u00ee\u0219i \u00eendrept\u0103 spatele, ro\u0219ie de nervi, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 explice situa\u021bia.
\u2014 Domnule Marin, aceast\u0103 doamn\u0103 a venit cu copilul la interviu. Am considerat c\u0103…
\u2014 C\u0103 un copil nu are ce c\u0103uta aici? o \u00eentrerupse el calm, dar cu o privire care t\u0103ia ca lama.<\/p>\n
Svetlana amu\u021bi pe loc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi, doamn\u0103, continu\u0103 el, eu am crescut f\u0103r\u0103 mam\u0103. Tat\u0103l meu lucra \u0219i nu avea timp nici s\u0103 m\u0103 duc\u0103 la \u0219coal\u0103. Dac\u0103 ar fi avut cineva curajul s\u0103-l judece pentru asta, azi poate n-a\u0219 fi fost aici.<\/p>\n
Camera se cufund\u0103 \u00eentr-o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Liza, sim\u021bind c\u0103 tensiunea scade, z\u00e2mbi timid.
\u2014 Eu am desenat o cas\u0103, spuse ea, ridic\u00e2nd foaia colorat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Marin privi desenul \u0219i z\u00e2mbi din nou.
\u2014 Frumoas\u0103 cas\u0103. Cred c\u0103 \u0219i mamele care muncesc merit\u0103 o cas\u0103 sigur\u0103, nu-i a\u0219a, Liza?<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba d\u0103du din cap cu entuziasm, iar Sofia abia se ab\u021binea s\u0103 nu pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Ionescu, spuse el, \u00een aceast\u0103 companie avem nevoie de oameni care \u0219tiu ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 lupta. Nu de cei care se ascund \u00een spatele aparen\u021belor. Dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi angajat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sofia r\u0103mase f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.
\u2014 Dar… eu… copilul…
\u2014 Copilul e dovada c\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 responsabilitatea, o \u00eentrerupse el z\u00e2mbind. \u0218i dac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 nu ave\u021bi cu cine-l l\u0103sa, aduce\u021bi-l. Am eu o nepoat\u0103 care ador\u0103 s\u0103 coloreze.<\/p>\n
Svetlana \u00ee\u0219i cobor\u00ee privirea, complet \u00eenvins\u0103. Marin ie\u0219i din birou la fel de lini\u0219tit cum intrase, iar Sofia r\u0103mase c\u00e2teva clipe pe loc, neput\u00e2nd crede ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
Liza o trase de m\u00e2nec\u0103.
\u2014 Mami, domnul acela e bun, nu?
\u2014 Da, iubita mea, foarte bun, \u0219opti ea, cu lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
Ie\u0219ind din cl\u0103dire, Sofia sim\u021bea pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp c\u0103 via\u021ba \u00eei z\u00e2mbe\u0219te. Nu mai era doar o mam\u0103 singur\u0103 \u00een c\u0103utarea unui loc de munc\u0103. Era o femeie care reu\u0219ise s\u0103 transforme o zi de umilin\u021b\u0103 \u00eentr-un nou \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Pe drum, \u021bin\u00e2nd-o pe Liza de m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i spuse \u00een g\u00e2nd: \u201eC\u00e2teodat\u0103, Dumnezeu trimite ajutorul exact c\u00e2nd sim\u021bi c\u0103 nu mai po\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani de fr\u0103m\u00e2nt\u0103ri, Sofia z\u00e2mbi larg, cu inima plin\u0103 de recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 \u0219i speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
