B\u0103iatul s-a oprit brusc c\u00e2nd l-a v\u0103zut. L-a privit c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a z\u00e2mbit larg.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite, mam\u0103, am desenat o cas\u0103 mare! Cu etaj!<\/p>\n
Ana i-a m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat p\u0103rul cu un gest obi\u0219nuit, \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat din lipsuri.\u2014 Foarte frumos, Matei. Pune-le pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andrei sim\u021bea cum \u00eel str\u00e2nge ceva \u00een piept. Masa era veche, din sc\u00e2nduri ciobite. Pe ea, o farfurie cu m\u0103m\u0103lig\u0103 rece \u0219i o can\u0103 cu ap\u0103. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Ioana nu-\u0219i lua ochii de la el. Era deja destul de mare c\u00e2t s\u0103 simt\u0103 lucruri f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 le poat\u0103 explica.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi jos, domnule Paul, a spus Ana. Nu avem cine \u0219tie ce, dar o vorb\u0103 bun\u0103 se g\u0103se\u0219te.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat pe un scaun \u0219chiop, atent s\u0103 nu-l rup\u0103. Limuzina, ceasul scump, costumul de mii de lei \u2014 toate p\u0103reau obscene acolo.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tr\u0103i\u021bi singur\u0103? a \u00eentrebat el, cu glas stins.<\/p>\n
Ana a z\u00e2mbit scurt.\u2014 Nu. Cu copiii. Tat\u0103l lor\u2026 a plecat demult. N-a mai dat niciun semn.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au lovit drept. Andrei a sim\u021bit c\u0103-i fuge aerul.\u2014 Greu, a murmurat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Greu e pu\u021bin spus, a r\u0103spuns ea calm. Dar omul se obi\u0219nuie\u0219te cu orice. C\u00e2nd n-ai pe cine a\u0219tepta, \u00eenve\u021bi s\u0103 mergi \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
Matei s-a apropiat de el.\u2014 Nene, tu ai fost vreodat\u0103 bogat?<\/p>\n
Ioana a oftat.\u2014 Matei, nu se \u00eentreab\u0103 a\u0219a ceva.<\/p>\n
Andrei a z\u00e2mbit for\u021bat.\u2014 Am avut noroc, a spus. Am muncit mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci s\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 mama e cea mai muncitoare din lume, a zis b\u0103iatul m\u00e2ndru.<\/p>\n
Ana a \u00eentors capul, ca s\u0103 nu se vad\u0103 lacrima.<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa aceea, Andrei a \u0219tiut c\u0103 nu mai poate min\u021bi. S-a ridicat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana\u2026 eu\u2026<\/p>\n
Ea l-a privit, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd b\u0103\u021bul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.\u2014 Ce este?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu sunt Andrei.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea a c\u0103zut ca o piatr\u0103. Ioana a \u00eencremenit. Matei nu \u00een\u021belegea, dar sim\u021bea tensiunea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei\u2026 a repetat Ana, \u00eencet. Andrei V\u0103lean?<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap.\u2014 M-am \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba ei s-a schimbat. Nu furie. Nu pl\u00e2ns. Doar o oboseal\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dup\u0103 18 ani? a \u00eentrebat ea. De ce?<\/p>\n
Andrei a scos plicul gros din buzunar \u0219i l-a pus pe mas\u0103.\u2014 Aici sunt bani. Destui c\u00e2t s\u0103 nu mai duce\u021bi lips\u0103 niciodat\u0103. Cas\u0103, doctor, \u0219coal\u0103. Tot.<\/p>\n
Ana nici nu s-a uitat.\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i vreau s\u0103-mi cunosc copiii.<\/p>\n
Ioana a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.\u2014 Acum? Dup\u0103 ce mama a c\u0103zut de pe picioare de at\u00e2tea ori? Dup\u0103 ce eu am crescut repede, ca s\u0103-l ajut pe Matei?<\/p>\n
Ana a ridicat m\u00e2na.\u2014 Ajunge.<\/p>\n
L-a privit drept \u00een ochi.\u2014 Andrei, copiii mei n-au murit de foame. N-au cer\u0219it. Au fost iubi\u021bi. Poate nu \u00een palate, dar \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 repar ce-am stricat, a spus el cu vocea rupt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana a t\u0103cut mult. Apoi a spus:\u2014 Nu po\u021bi cump\u0103ra ce-ai lipsit. Dar po\u021bi s\u0103 \u00eencepi de azi, dac\u0103 vrei. F\u0103r\u0103 minciuni. F\u0103r\u0103 promisiuni goale.<\/p>\n
Matei s-a apropiat.\u2014 Tu e\u0219ti tata?<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a aplecat \u0219i a dat din cap, cu lacrimi.\u2014 Dac\u0103 m\u0103 la\u0219i.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul l-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare.<\/p>\n
Ioana a r\u0103mas pe loc. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, a spus:\u2014 Tata nu e un om bogat. Tata e un om care r\u0103m\u00e2ne.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00een\u021beles. A scos cheile ma\u0219inii \u0219i le-a pus l\u00e2ng\u0103 plic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci r\u0103m\u00e2n.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 18 ani, c\u0103su\u021ba de lut n-a mai p\u0103rut at\u00e2t de mic\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
