Doamna Elena a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, sim\u021bind cum i se \u00eenmoaie genunchii. Inima \u00eei b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare, \u00eenc\u00e2t credea c\u0103 o aud to\u021bi vecinii. \u00cen mintea ei, g\u00e2ndurile se izbeau unele de altele. \u201eS\u00e2nge\u2026 pene\u2026 Doamne, Maica Domnului\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matei\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit cu glas stins.<\/p>\n
A mai f\u0103cut un pas, apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul. Abia atunci a observat c\u0103 \u00een pat nu se mi\u0219ca nimeni. Nici Matei, nici Sofia. Doar cear\u0219afurile p\u0103tate \u0219i penele risipite.<\/p>\n
Cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde, s-a apropiat de marginea patului \u0219i a tras u\u0219or de cear\u0219af.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 \u2014 s-a auzit o voce adormit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena a \u021bipat.<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a ridicat brusc \u00een capul oaselor, cu p\u0103rul v\u00e2lvoi \u0219i ochii umfla\u021bi de somn. Matei s-a \u00eentors pe o parte, morm\u0103ind ceva ne\u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-i, mam\u0103 soacr\u0103? Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat fata speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena o privea ca pe o n\u0103luc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u00e2ngele\u2026 penele\u2026 \u2014 b\u00e2iguia ea. \u2014 Ce-a\u021bi f\u0103cut aici?!<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a uitat \u00een jur, apoi a oftat ad\u00e2nc. A z\u00e2mbit timid, aproape ru\u0219inat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aoleu\u2026 asta.<\/p>\n
Matei s-a ridicat \u0219i el, frec\u00e2ndu-se la ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, nu-i ce crezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci ce-i?! \u2014 a izbucnit Doamna Elena. \u2014 Arat\u0103 ca o crim\u0103!<\/p>\n
Sofia a tras p\u0103tura peste ea \u0219i a spus \u00eencet:<\/p>\n
\u2014 E obicei din satul meu\u2026 de la bunica. Pentru noroc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Noroc?! \u2014 a urlat Doamna Elena. \u2014 Cu s\u00e2nge?!<\/p>\n
Matei a cobor\u00e2t din pat \u0219i a luat o pung\u0103 de pe jos. Din ea a scos un pui de g\u0103in\u0103\u2026 viu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, stai lini\u0219tit\u0103. N-am omor\u00e2t pe nimeni. Am cump\u0103rat puiul de la pia\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i s\u00e2ngele?<\/p>\n
Sofia a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-am t\u0103iat degetul asear\u0103, la buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Un fleac. Dar bunica zicea c\u0103 dac\u0103 \u00een prima noapte de c\u0103snicie curge pu\u021bin s\u00e2nge \u0219i puiul doarme l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat, c\u0103snicia o s\u0103 fie trainic\u0103. Penele\u2026 au ie\u0219it din pern\u0103. Am rupt-o din gre\u0219eal\u0103.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena s-a a\u0219ezat pe un scaun. Sim\u021bea cum \u00eei fug puterile. Toat\u0103 furia se scurgea din ea, l\u0103s\u00e2nd loc unei oboseli ad\u00e2nci.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-a\u021bi b\u0103gat \u00een morm\u00e2nt\u2026 \u2014 a murmurat.<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a ridicat din pat \u0219i s-a apropiat de ea. I-a luat m\u00e2na cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ierta\u021bi-m\u0103, mam\u0103 Elena. N-am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103 sperii. La noi a\u0219a se zice\u2026 Am vrut doar s\u0103 fie bine.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena a privit-o atent pentru prima dat\u0103. Nu mai vedea o fat\u0103 obraznic\u0103, ci o t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103 speriat\u0103, venit\u0103 \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 str\u0103in\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i g\u0103seasc\u0103 locul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La noi, norocul se face cu munc\u0103, nu cu pui \u00een pat \u2014 a spus ea, mai domol.<\/p>\n
Sofia a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci cobor imediat s\u0103 ajut.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de o or\u0103, Sofia era jos, sp\u0103la vasele, m\u0103tura curtea \u0219i aducea ap\u0103 rece din f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103. Nu s-a pl\u00e2ns, nu s-a uitat ur\u00e2t. Doamna Elena o urm\u0103rea din prag, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
La pr\u00e2nz, Sofia a scos din cuptor o tav\u0103 cu pl\u0103cint\u0103 cald\u0103, f\u0103cut\u0103 dup\u0103 re\u021beta mamei ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru dumneavoastr\u0103 \u2014 a spus ea.<\/p>\n
Doamna Elena a gustat. I-au dat lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, c\u00e2nd casa era din nou curat\u0103 \u0219i lini\u0219tit\u0103, Doamna Elena a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103rul Sofiei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 R\u0103m\u00e2i aici. Casa asta are loc pentru am\u00e2ndou\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sofia a z\u00e2mbit. Iar Doamna Elena a \u0219tiut, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 fiul ei f\u0103cuse alegerea bun\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
