Maria sim\u021bea cum \u00eei tremur\u0103 degetele \u00een m\u00e2na Liei. Nici nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103 fie speriat\u0103 sau curioas\u0103. \u00cen salon mirosea a dezinfectant \u0219i a team\u0103, iar lumina slab\u0103 de la neon accentua paloarea de pe chipul bolnavei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103, Maria\u2026 \u00eencepu Lia, oprindu-se o clip\u0103 ca s\u0103 respire. Nu am de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 mor a\u0219a. Nu pentru el. Omul \u0103la m-ar \u00eengropa de vie dac\u0103 ar putea, numai s\u0103 pun\u0103 m\u00e2na pe banii mei.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 ce vre\u021bi de la mine?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 trimi\u021bi un mesaj. Dar nu oricum. E cineva\u2026 o persoan\u0103 \u00een care am \u00eencredere. Eu nu pot ajunge la telefon. Tu vei scrie exact ce \u00ee\u021bi spun.<\/p>\n
Infirmiera a privit spre u\u0219\u0103, parc\u0103 tem\u00e2ndu-se c\u0103 cineva ar putea auzi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 ne prind, m\u0103 dau afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 faci asta pentru mine, ai s\u0103 prime\u0219ti mai mult dec\u00e2t un salariu de spital. Ai s\u0103 ai un nou \u00eenceput. \u021ai-o promit.<\/p>\n
Maria tremura, dar a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
Lia i-a spus numele persoanei, adresa \u0219i cuvintele care trebuiau trimise. Era un mesaj simplu, dar cu o greutate uria\u0219\u0103: \u201eVino. E timpul.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 At\u00e2t? \u00eentreb\u0103 Maria.<\/p>\n
\u2014 At\u00e2t deocamdat\u0103. Dar trebuie s\u0103 fie ast\u0103zi. \u00cenainte s\u0103 vin\u0103 Ovidiu \u00eenapoi. El nu trebuie s\u0103 afle nimic.<\/p>\n
Maria a ie\u0219it \u00een grab\u0103, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd telefonul \u00een palm\u0103. Lia a r\u0103mas singur\u0103, sim\u021bind cum o curent\u0103 fiori reci. Era prima oar\u0103, dup\u0103 multe luni, c\u00e2nd sim\u021bea c\u0103 are un pic de control.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd asistentele schimbau perfuziile, cineva a b\u0103tut discret \u00een u\u0219a salonului. Nu era ora vizitelor. Lia a ridicat privirea.<\/p>\n
A intrat o femeie \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 modest, dar cu o privire aprig\u0103, de om care a trecut prin multe.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lio\u2026 \u0219opti ea.<\/p>\n
Lia a sim\u021bit c\u0103 i se str\u00e2nge inima.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103tu\u0219\u0103 Ileana\u2026 ai venit.<\/p>\n
Femeia s-a apropiat imediat, lu\u00e2nd-o de m\u00e2n\u0103 cu o tandre\u021be care o f\u0103cu pe Lia s\u0103 simt\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een zile, c\u0103 nu mai e singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit, mam\u0103. \u0218i nu te mai las. Spune-mi ce \u021bi-a f\u0103cut nemernicul \u0103la.<\/p>\n
Lia i-a povestit totul. Lacrimile m\u0103tu\u0219ii \u00eei alunecau t\u0103cute pe obraji, dar ochii \u00eei sclipeau a hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u2019 c\u0103-l punem noi cu botul pe labe. Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 bine: nu mori tu \u00eenainte s\u0103-i ar\u0103t\u0103m cine ai fost tu \u0219i cine e el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 trei zile, m\u0103tu\u0219\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trei zile poate pentru ei. Da\u2019 noi avem alt plan.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Maria a intrat \u00een camer\u0103, palid\u0103 \u0219i emo\u021bionat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am trimis mesajul. \u0218i\u2026 \u0219i am primit r\u0103spuns. Spune c\u0103 vine.<\/p>\n
Lia a \u00eenchis ochii, sim\u021bind un val de speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci \u00eencepem.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103-amiaza, Ovidiu se \u00eentoarse cu aceea\u0219i masc\u0103 de b\u0103rbat distrus. \u00cens\u0103, c\u00e2nd deschise u\u0219a, se opri brusc. \u00cen salon, pe scaun, st\u0103tea M\u0103tu\u0219a Ileana \u2014 cu bra\u021bele \u00eencruci\u0219ate \u0219i cu o privire care l-ar fi f\u0103cut pe un urs s\u0103 dea \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine sunte\u021bi? morm\u0103i el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu? Sunt co\u0219marul t\u0103u, b\u0103iete.<\/p>\n
Lia z\u00e2mbi \u00een pern\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ovidiu\u2026 am ni\u0219te ve\u0219ti pentru tine.<\/p>\n
El \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i p\u0103streze calmul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iubito, te obose\u0219ti\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Stai lini\u0219tit. Mai am destul\u0103 putere c\u00e2t s\u0103-\u021bi spun c\u0103\u2026 nu vei pune m\u00e2na pe niciun leu. Tot ce am am trecut, deja, pe numele cui trebuie. Tu r\u0103m\u00e2i cu teatrul t\u0103u ieftin.<\/p>\n
Ovidiu \u00eenlemni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce ai f\u0103cut?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ceva ce-ar fi trebuit s\u0103 fac mai demult.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, medicul-\u0219ef intr\u0103, privind \u00eentreaga scen\u0103. Vorbise deja cu persoana chemat\u0103 de Lia: un specialist de la Cluj, prieten vechi al m\u0103tu\u0219ii, care se oferise s\u0103 o preia \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eencerce un tratament nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule, v\u0103 rog s\u0103 ie\u0219i\u021bi. Pacienta pleac\u0103 la Cluj.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pleac\u0103 unde?!<\/p>\n
M\u0103tu\u0219a Ileana se ridic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pleac\u0103 s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103. Tu\u2026 du-te \u0219i vezi ce faci cu via\u021ba ta de acum.<\/p>\n
Ovidiu \u00een\u021bepeni \u00een mijlocul salonului, incapabil s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. Tot ce pl\u0103nuise se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea \u00een fa\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n
Lia, ridicat\u0103 cu grij\u0103 pe targ\u0103, trecu pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce-i ciudat, Ovidiu? zise ea \u00eencet. C\u0103, \u00een timp ce tu num\u0103rai banii mei, eu am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u00e2t valorez eu, de fapt.<\/p>\n
L-a privit pentru ultima oar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i nu valorezi niciun leu \u00een via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
A fost dus\u0103 spre ambulan\u021b\u0103, iar m\u0103tu\u0219a Ileana mergea l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, str\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-i m\u00e2na. Maria urm\u0103rea totul de la u\u0219\u0103, cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n
Lia respira greu, dar \u00een inim\u0103 avea o putere nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tia c\u00e2t va tr\u0103i. Nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 tratamentul va reu\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Dar un lucru era sigur:nu mai era victima nim\u0103nui.<\/p>\n
\u0218i uneori, \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, miracolele nu vin din spitale scumpe sau din bani \u2014 ci din oameni simpli, care apar exact atunci c\u00e2nd trebuie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
