Natalia a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, cu fa\u021ba palid\u0103 \u0219i privirea pierdut\u0103. Nu \u00een\u021belegea ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103. B\u0103rbatul din fa\u021ba ei o privea drept \u00een ochi, iar vocea lui calm\u0103, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103, o f\u0103cea s\u0103 tremure.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poate nu-\u021bi mai aminte\u0219ti de mine, a spus el \u00eencet. Acum cinci ani, eram cel care cer\u0219ea la col\u021bul str\u0103zii, \u00een fa\u021ba magazinului t\u0103u. \u021ai-am cerut o bucat\u0103 de p\u00e2ine \u0219i tu ai r\u00e2s de mine. \u021ai-ai amintit?<\/p>\n
Natalia \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, \u0219ocat\u0103. Da\u2026 \u00ee\u0219i amintea vag. Un b\u0103rbat t\u00e2n\u0103r, murdar, fl\u0103m\u00e2nd. \u00cei spusese atunci ceva ur\u00e2t, ca s\u0103 scape de el. \u201eDu-te \u0219i munce\u0219te, puturosule!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-am venit s\u0103 te cert, a continuat el. Am venit pentru mama ta. Doamna Elena m-a ajutat atunci. Mi-a dat o p\u00e2ine cald\u0103 \u0219i o hain\u0103. M-a l\u0103sat s\u0103 dorm \u00een magazie o noapte. F\u0103r\u0103 ea, n-a\u0219 fi fost azi omul care sunt.<\/p>\n
Cel\u0103lalt b\u0103rbat, care st\u0103tea t\u0103cut \u00een prag, a scos un plic. L-a \u00eentins b\u0103tr\u00e2nei, cu un z\u00e2mbet bl\u00e2nd.
\u2014 E pentru dumneavoastr\u0103. O mic\u0103 mul\u021bumire.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na tremura c\u00e2nd a luat plicul. \u00cen\u0103untru erau bani, mul\u021bi bani.<\/p>\n
Natalia a sim\u021bit cum i se \u00eenmoaie genunchii. A c\u0103zut \u00een fa\u021ba str\u0103inului \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103, te rog! N-am \u0219tiut\u2026 am fost o proast\u0103!<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul s-a aplecat \u0219i i-a pus o m\u00e2n\u0103 pe um\u0103r.
\u2014 Nu eu trebuie s\u0103 te ier\u021bi, Natalia. Uit\u0103-te la mama ta. Ea e cea care sufer\u0103 pentru tine \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na s-a apropiat \u00eencet, cu ochii plini de lacrimi.
\u2014 Las\u0103, mam\u0103, a zis ea cu o voce bl\u00e2nd\u0103. Eu te-am iertat demult.<\/p>\n
Natalia a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns, \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns mama \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i a sim\u021bit pentru prima oar\u0103, dup\u0103 ani, c\u0103ldura acelei \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul s-a ridicat \u0219i s-a preg\u0103tit s\u0103 plece. \u00cen prag s-a \u00eentors \u0219i a spus:
\u2014 S\u0103 nu uita\u021bi niciodat\u0103: uneori binele f\u0103cut c\u00e2ndva se \u00eentoarce c\u00e2nd te a\u0219tep\u021bi mai pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis u\u0219or, iar Natalia a r\u0103mas \u00eengenuncheat\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 mama ei, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-i m\u00e2inile \u00een ale sale.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Natalia s-a trezit devreme. A preg\u0103tit micul dejun, a \u00eenc\u0103lzit laptele \u0219i a a\u0219ezat farfuria \u00een fa\u021ba mamei.
\u2014 Hai, mam\u0103, m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103. De azi \u00eenainte o s\u0103 fie altfel, \u00ee\u021bi promit.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2na a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult\u0103 vreme. Soarele lumina prin perdeaua sub\u021bire, iar \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie mirosea a p\u00e2ine proasp\u0103t\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eemp\u0103care.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sufletul Nataliei, ceva se schimbase pentru totdeauna. \u00ce\u0219i d\u0103dea seama c\u0103 banii, m\u00e2ndria \u0219i nervii de alt\u0103dat\u0103 nu valorau nimic pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 dragostea unei mame.<\/p>\n
\u0218i poate, de undeva de sus, Dumnezeu z\u00e2mbea \u2014 pentru c\u0103 o lec\u021bie de via\u021b\u0103 fusese \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
