\u201ePentru c\u0103 tata nu e bun\u201d, a spus ea aproape f\u0103r\u0103 voce, privindu-m\u0103 fix \u00een ochi. Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul. Am \u00eencercat s\u0103-i z\u00e2mbesc, s\u0103 nu o sperii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103, mami? Ce \u021bi-a f\u0103cut tata? am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mie… dar eu \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele ei mi-au r\u0103mas \u00een minte toat\u0103 seara. Radu era la serviciu, iar eu st\u0103team \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, privind cana de ceai care se r\u0103cise demult. \u00cemi tot repetam c\u0103 e doar un copil, c\u0103 poate are frici din trecut. C\u0103, poate, undeva, \u00een sufletul ei, mai poart\u0103 amintiri din locul de unde am luat-o.<\/p>\n
Dar ceva nu-mi d\u0103dea pace. De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd Radu se apropia de ea, fata se retr\u0103gea instinctiv. Uneori pl\u00e2ngea noaptea, dar nu voia s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 de ce.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, am decis s\u0103 vorbesc cu educatoarea ei. Am mers la gr\u0103dini\u021b\u0103, iar doamna m-a privit cu o expresie serioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, Ioana e o feti\u021b\u0103 deosebit de inteligent\u0103, dar pare speriat\u0103 de b\u0103rba\u021bi. Se ascunde sau refuz\u0103 s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 dac\u0103 intr\u0103 vreun tat\u0103 \u00een clas\u0103. Poate ar fi bine s\u0103 discuta\u021bi cu un psiholog.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors acas\u0103 cu g\u00e2ndurile vrai\u0219te. Radu era \u00een curte, repara ceva la ma\u0219in\u0103. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, mi-a z\u00e2mbit larg, dar eu nu am reu\u0219it s\u0103-i r\u0103spund la fel. Ceva \u00een privirea lui, \u00een felul cum se uita la mine, m\u0103 f\u0103cea s\u0103 m\u0103 simt nelini\u0219tit\u0103, de\u0219i nu puteam spune exact de ce.<\/p>\n
Seara, am \u00eencercat din nou s\u0103 vorbesc cu Ioana. Am aprins o veioz\u0103 mic\u0103 \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ioana, iubita mea, po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui orice. Te cred, orice ar fi.<\/p>\n
Ea a ridicat ochii mari, plini de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama, \u00eenainte de tine… am avut o alt\u0103 mam\u0103 \u0219i un alt tata. El o lovea pe mama. Mereu. \u0218i pe mine, uneori. Dar tu e\u0219ti bun\u0103. Doar c\u0103… uneori, c\u00e2nd tata (Radu) vorbe\u0219te tare, \u00eemi aduce aminte de el.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a fr\u00e2nt inima. Am str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i am sim\u021bit cum trupul ei mic tremura. \u00cen clipa aceea, am \u00een\u021beles: nu era vorba despre Radu. Era vorba despre trecutul ei. Despre fric\u0103. Despre urmele pe care nu le vezi, dar pe care un copil le simte mereu.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, i-am povestit totul lui Radu. L-am v\u0103zut cum i s-au umezit ochii. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic, a mers la Ioana, s-a aplecat \u0219i i-a oferit o p\u0103pu\u0219\u0103 de plu\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Po\u021bi s\u0103-mi spui orice, micu\u021bo. Promit c\u0103 n-o s\u0103-\u021bi fac niciodat\u0103 r\u0103u, a zis el, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
A fost pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd ea l-a privit f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103. A \u00eentins m\u00e2nu\u021bele \u0219i l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
\u00cen s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile urm\u0103toare, au \u00eenceput s\u0103 deseneze \u00eempreun\u0103, s\u0103 g\u0103teasc\u0103 cl\u0103tite, s\u0103 planteze flori \u00een gr\u0103din\u0103. Cu fiecare zi, z\u00e2mbetul Ioanei era mai larg, mai curat, mai plin de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, am intrat \u00een camer\u0103 \u0219i i-am v\u0103zut pe am\u00e2ndoi dormind pe canapea, Ioana cu capul pe pieptul lui Radu, iar m\u00e2inile lor str\u00e2nse una \u00een alta.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit lacrimile curg\u00e2ndu-mi pe obraji. Am \u00een\u021beles atunci c\u0103 familia nu se na\u0219te din s\u00e2nge, ci din r\u0103bdare, iertare \u0219i iubire.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u0103 uneori, un copil nu are nevoie de cuvinte mari ca s\u0103-\u021bi spun\u0103 tot adev\u0103rul \u2014 trebuie doar s\u0103-l ascul\u021bi cu inima.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
