Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii \ud83d\udc49 Ravi st\u0103tea \u00een prag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDoamn\u0103 Doina\u2026 cine v-a dat voie s\u0103 intra\u021bi aici?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai era b\u0103rbatul care venise cu flori la mine \u00een Buz\u0103u cu treisprezece ani \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm venit dup\u0103 fata mea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirea lui a cobor\u00e2t spre caietul de pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A f\u0103cut imediat un pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePune\u021bi-l jos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u0219tiut c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103-l deschid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am tras caietul spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eV-am spus s\u0103-l l\u0103sa\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eUnde este Mara?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSo\u021bia mea este bolnav\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAtunci o v\u0103d \u0219i plec.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un singur cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u0103r\u0103 polite\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u0103r\u0103 explica\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am desf\u0103cut caietul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primele pagini con\u021bineau date. Sume. C\u00e2teva cuvinte \u00een rom\u00e2n\u0103. Apoi am v\u0103zut repet\u00e2ndu-se aceea\u0219i cifr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
87.000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fiecare an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 fiecare transfer, Mara scrisese c\u00e2te o propozi\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMama \u00eenc\u0103 prime\u0219te.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eContul \u00eenc\u0103 func\u021bioneaz\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u00cenc\u0103 \u0219tie unde sunt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar l\u00e2ng\u0103 transferul din anul acela:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDac\u0103 mama vine, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu mai pot continua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-au \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCe i-ai f\u0103cut?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi mi-a smuls caietul \u0219i l-a aruncat pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu ave\u021bi idee despre via\u021ba noastr\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am auzit pa\u0219i la etaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ridicat capul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara st\u0103tea pe scar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-am recunoscut copilul \u0219i, \u00een acela\u0219i timp, parc\u0103 vedeam o str\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era mult mai slab\u0103 dec\u00e2t \u00een apelurile video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMam\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am pornit spre ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMara!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eentre noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu transforma\u021bi asta \u00eentr-un spectacol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu faptul c\u0103 el \u00eei blocase drumul m-a speriat cel mai tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ci faptul c\u0103 ea \u00eel ascultase instantaneu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVii acas\u0103 cu mine\u201d, i-am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu pot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBa po\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi aproape a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVede\u021bi? Nu vrea s\u0103 plece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara l-a privit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu asta am spus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, vocea ei se schimbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi s-a \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMara.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era un avertisment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar de data aceasta fata mea a cobor\u00e2t \u00eenc\u0103 o treapt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSpune-i adev\u0103rul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCare adev\u0103r?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDe ce mi-ai luat actele.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLe-am p\u0103strat \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDe ce mi-ai controlat conturile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 ai luat decizii ira\u021bionale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDe ce trebuia s\u0103 cer voie ca s\u0103-mi sun mama?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi \u0219i-a pierdut calmul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd vorbeai cu ea voiai s\u0103 pleci!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u0103cerea care a urmat a fost cumplit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi \u0219i-a dat seama prea t\u00e2rziu ce spusese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am urcat prima treapt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTreisprezece ani?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara \u0219i-a acoperit gura cu m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci o alt\u0103 voce s-a auzit de sus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMama?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O feti\u021b\u0103 a ap\u0103rut l\u00e2ng\u0103 balustrad\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avea ochii Marei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata mea s-a \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAnaya, du-te \u00een camer\u0103, te rog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copila a disp\u0103rut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu nu puteam vorbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm o nepoat\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAre unsprezece ani.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsprezece ani \u00een care eu nici m\u0103car nu \u0219tiusem c\u0103 exist\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 duc spre ea, dar Mara a cobor\u00e2t repede \u0219i m-a prins de m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMam\u0103, ascult\u0103-m\u0103. Nu putem pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 plec\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi \u0219i-a rec\u0103p\u0103tat imediat siguran\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it spune cineva ceva ra\u021bional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu vorbeam cu tine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fost prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd l-am v\u0103zut cu adev\u0103rat surprins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi Mara mi-a explicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00eenceputul c\u0103sniciei, Ravi controlase banii \u201etemporar\u201d. Dup\u0103 na\u0219terea Anayei, controlase documentele. Apoi telefonul, deplas\u0103rile \u0219i oamenii cu care putea vorbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De fiecare dat\u0103 exista o justificare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siguran\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copilul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reputa\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd amenin\u021ba c\u0103 pleac\u0103, Ravi \u00eei spunea c\u0103 va folosi toate resursele pe care le avea pentru a transforma plecarea cu Anaya \u00eentr-un conflict pe care ea nu \u0219i-l putea permite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De aceea Mara \u00eencepuse s\u0103 preg\u0103teasc\u0103 totul \u00een secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutiile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiile documentelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dovezile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i caietul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDar banii?\u201d, am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a uitat spre Ravi \u00eenainte s\u0103-mi r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e87 nu era o sum\u0103 aleas\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-a amintit ceva ce uitasem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd era adolescent\u0103 \u0219i pleca \u00een tabere, aveam un cod. Dac\u0103 nu putea vorbi liber \u0219i voia s\u0103 m\u0103 sune f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i \u00eentrebe ceilal\u021bi ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103, \u00eemi trimitea mesajul \u201e87\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Num\u0103rul autobuzului cu care f\u0103cusem \u00eempreun\u0103 ani \u00eentregi drumul spre liceul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O prostioar\u0103 \u00eentre mam\u0103 \u0219i fiic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu o uitasem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u00cen primul an am trimis 87.000 sper\u00e2nd s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebi de num\u0103r.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi s-au umplut ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTe-am \u00eentrebat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u0218tiu. Dar Ravi era l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine c\u00e2nd m-ai sunat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi a izbucnit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAjunge cu teatrul \u0103sta! Banii aceia au plecat dintr-un cont pe care eu l-am alimentat ani \u00eentregi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara l-a privit drept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu. Din dividendele participa\u021biei pe care mi-ai trecut-o pe nume \u00eenainte s\u0103 \u00eencepi s\u0103 m\u0103 tratezi ca pe o proprietate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles de ce ultimul mesaj fusese diferit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi descoperise transferurile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara \u0219tia c\u0103 nu va mai putea trimite altul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De aceea \u00eemi scrisese s\u0103 nu vin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 nu m\u0103 voia acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ci pentru c\u0103 \u00eei era team\u0103 de ce va face el dac\u0103 apar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi \u0219i-a luat telefonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePlec acum. C\u00e2nd m\u0103 \u00eentorc, vreau s\u0103 nu v\u0103 mai g\u0103sesc aici.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eEu r\u0103m\u00e2n cu fata mea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAtunci ve\u021bi afla c\u00e2t de complicate pot deveni lucrurile c\u00e2nd un str\u0103in vine \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 \u0219i crede c\u0103 poate lua un copil \u0219i pleca.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nici nu aveam de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 fac asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu venisem p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een India ca s\u0103 c\u00e2\u0219tig o ceart\u0103 \u00een sufragerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venisem s\u0103 aflu adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, Mara a f\u0103cut ceea ce \u00eencercase singur\u0103 de luni \u00eentregi: a cerut ajutor prin canalele potrivite, \u0219i-a prezentat documentele \u0219i dovezile \u0219i a \u00eenceput demersurile necesare pentru ea \u0219i Anaya. Eu am r\u0103mas l\u00e2ng\u0103 ele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravi nu a cedat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A negat controlul, a prezentat totul drept un conflict de familie \u0219i a \u00eencercat s\u0103 demonstreze c\u0103 Mara era cea care ac\u021biona impulsiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Numai c\u0103 de data aceasta nu mai avea \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 o femeie izolat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara p\u0103strase mesaje, copii dup\u0103 documente, dovezi privind accesul la bani \u0219i propriile \u00eensemn\u0103ri. O femeie care lucrase ani \u00een casa lor a acceptat \u0219i ea s\u0103 spun\u0103 ce v\u0103zuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu s-a rezolvat \u00eentr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au urmat zile grele, declara\u021bii, verific\u0103ri \u0219i team\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu n-am \u00eencercat s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg fiecare h\u00e2rtie. Am f\u0103cut singurul lucru pe care trebuia s\u0103-l fac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd Mara \u0219i Anaya au putut pleca legal \u0219i \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, Pa\u0219tele trecuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am avut masa mare pe care mi-o imaginasem treisprezece ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am avut \u00eens\u0103 ceva mai important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen prima duminic\u0103 acas\u0103 am pus trei farfurii pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a uitat la ele \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anaya voia s\u0103 \u0219tie de ce mama ei \u00eei povestise at\u00e2t de mult despre nucul din curtea bunicii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ie\u0219it toate trei afar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a atins trunchiul copacului \u0219i m-a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMai \u021bii minte autobuzul 87?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am luat-o \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAcum \u00eel \u021bin minte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treisprezece ani privisem acei bani ca pe dovada c\u0103 fiica mea avea tot ce-i trebuia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuseser\u0103 exact contrariul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuseser\u0103 drumul pe care \u00eel l\u0103sase spre mine, an dup\u0103 an, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 merg dup\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
