M\u00e2inile i-au \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure, iar ecranul telefonului aproape i-a sc\u0103pat din m\u00e2n\u0103. Nu putea s\u0103 cread\u0103 ce vedea. Mama lui \u2014 femeia care \u00eei spusese mereu c\u0103 ar face orice pentru el \u2014 amesteca ceva \u00een medicamentele lui.<\/p>\n
A dat \u00eenapoi \u00eenregistrarea, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 se conving\u0103 c\u0103 poate gre\u0219ise. Poate era doar un praf inofensiv. Poate era ceva pentru gust. Dar nu… reac\u021bia mamei era prea atent\u0103, prea calculat\u0103. \u00ce\u0219i mi\u0219ca m\u00e2inile cu o precizie rece, iar fa\u021ba ei, de obicei senin\u0103, p\u0103rea acum \u00eempietrit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 noaptea nu a \u00eenchis un ochi. A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd Maria a intrat \u00een camer\u0103 cu z\u00e2mbetul ei obi\u0219nuit \u0219i i-a spus: \u201eHai, dragule, e ora pastilelor\u201d, el a sim\u021bit un fior pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, a spus cu voce tremurat\u0103, ce e \u00een pastilele astea?<\/p>\n
Ea s-a oprit brusc. Ochii i s-au m\u0103rit, dar \u0219i-a revenit repede.
\u2014 Ce vrei s\u0103 spui, dragul meu? Sunt medicamentele tale obi\u0219nuite. \u021ai le prescrie doctorul de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu… dar am observat ceva ciudat. Te-am v\u0103zut… amestec\u00e2nd ceva \u00een ele.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, t\u0103cerea s-a a\u0219ternut \u00eentre ei, ca o cea\u021b\u0103 grea. Maria a oftat ad\u00e2nc, \u0219i-a l\u0103sat m\u00e2inile \u00een poal\u0103 \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ionu\u021b, nu trebuia s\u0103 vezi asta.<\/p>\n
El a sim\u021bit cum inima i se str\u00e2nge.
\u2014 Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta, mam\u0103? Ce mi-ai f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n
Maria \u0219i-a mu\u0219cat buza, cu lacrimi \u00een ochi.
\u2014 Am f\u0103cut totul ca s\u0103 te protejez. Medicii nu \u00een\u021beleg. Tu… tu nu ai nicio boal\u0103, dragul meu. Dar ai fost mereu fragil, speriat, \u0219i am crezut c\u0103 dac\u0103 te \u021bin sub control, dac\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi dau ceva care s\u0103 te lini\u0219teasc\u0103, vei fi \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deci m-ai min\u021bit?! Dou\u0103zeci de ani?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te-am min\u021bit din r\u0103utate, Ionu\u021b. \u021ai-am dat doar doze mici, ceva care s\u0103 te \u021bin\u0103 calm, s\u0103 nu mai ai acele crize. Am vrut doar s\u0103 te am l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
El a r\u0103mas mut. \u00centreaga lui via\u021b\u0103 \u2014 toate vizitele la medici, toate pastilele, toate grijile \u2014 se pr\u0103bu\u0219eau acum \u00een fa\u021ba unui adev\u0103r crud: fusese \u021binut prizonier \u00een propria cas\u0103, de propria mam\u0103.<\/p>\n
A ridicat privirea spre ea. Lacrimile \u00eei curgeau pe obraji, dar \u00een sufletul lui se n\u0103\u0219tea ceva nou \u2014 un amestec de durere \u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2re.
\u2014 Mam\u0103, am nevoie s\u0103 plec. Am nevoie s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc… f\u0103r\u0103 minciuni.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a ridicat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-l ating\u0103.
\u2014 Te rog, nu m\u0103 ur\u00ee. Am f\u0103cut totul din iubire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 controlezi via\u021ba cuiva, a spus el cu glas stins, dar ferm.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it pe u\u0219\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite \u00eenapoi. Aerul de afar\u0103 i s-a p\u0103rut mai curat ca niciodat\u0103. Pentru prima oar\u0103, sim\u021bea c\u0103 respira liber.<\/p>\n
Au trecut c\u00e2teva luni p\u00e2n\u0103 a reu\u0219it s\u0103-\u0219i refac\u0103 via\u021ba. A mers la psiholog, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 lucreze, s\u0103 cunoasc\u0103 oameni. \u00cenc\u0103 \u00eel durea, dar \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba, pas cu pas, ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 libertatea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, a primit o scrisoare de la Maria. \u00cen\u0103untru era o fotografie cu ei doi, din copil\u0103rie, \u0219i un bile\u021bel: \u201ePoate am gre\u0219it, dar tot ce am f\u0103cut, am f\u0103cut pentru tine. Te iubesc, mama.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ionu\u021b a z\u00e2mbit amar, dar sincer. A pus poza pe noptier\u0103 \u0219i a rostit \u00eencet:
\u2014 Te iert, mam\u0103. Dar acum… e r\u00e2ndul meu s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 dou\u0103zeci de ani, s-a culcat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ia nicio pastil\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
