Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii \ud83d\udc49 Mama a r\u0103mas \u00een mijlocul buc\u0103t\u0103riei, cu lingura \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, privindu-m\u0103 de parc\u0103 tocmai \u00eei spusesem c\u0103 nu mai vreau s\u0103 o v\u0103d niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Monica, \u00ee\u021bi dai seama ce vorbe\u0219ti? M\u00e2ine avem musafiri!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, mam\u0103. Dar nu mai pot s\u0103 preg\u0103tesc o mas\u0103 pentru dou\u0103zeci de oameni de parc\u0103 a\u0219 avea un restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe vremea mea, femeile nu se pl\u00e2ngeau pentru c\u00e2teva oale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i poate tocmai de aceea erau at\u00e2t de obosite, mam\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 nimeni nu le \u00eentreba dac\u0103 mai pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama a pus lingura pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Deci acum eu sunt vinovat\u0103 c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 avem un Cr\u0103ciun frumos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Dar un Cr\u0103ciun frumos nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 \u0219apte feluri de m\u00e2ncare \u0219i geamuri f\u0103r\u0103 nicio urm\u0103. \u00censeamn\u0103 s\u0103 putem sta \u00eempreun\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ne cert\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Monica are dreptate, a spus. De trei zile aproape c\u0103 nu doarme. Iar copiii ne a\u0219teapt\u0103 s\u0103 facem bradul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama s-a \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sigur, acum \u0219i tu \u00eei \u021bii partea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u021bin partea nim\u0103nui. Dar este \u0219i casa mea. \u0218i eu vreau s\u0103 petrec Cr\u0103ciunul cu so\u021bia \u0219i copiii mei, nu s\u0103 alerg dup\u0103 aspirator p\u00e2n\u0103 la miezul nop\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se umplu ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd C\u0103t\u0103lin spunea at\u00e2t de clar ceea ce sim\u021beam am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama \u0219i-a desf\u0103cut \u0219or\u021bul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Foarte bine! Atunci face\u021bi cum vre\u021bi! Eu nu m\u0103 mai amestec!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ie\u0219it din buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i s-a dus \u00een sufragerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva clipe nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Crezi c\u0103 am exagerat? l-am \u00eentrebat pe C\u0103t\u0103lin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Cred c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 spunem asta de mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at, apoi a \u00eenchis aspiratorul \u0219i l-a pus \u00een debara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 chem\u0103m copiii. Bradul nu se \u00eempodobe\u0219te singur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am intrat \u00een camera lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara st\u0103tea pe pat, iar Vlad construia ceva din piese de plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vre\u021bi s\u0103 facem bradul? i-am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a ridicat imediat capul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acum? Chiar acum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, iubita mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar bunica a zis c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 termini m\u00e2ncarea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u00e2ncarea poate s\u0103 a\u0219tepte pu\u021bin. Voi nu trebuie s\u0103 a\u0219tepta\u021bi mereu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii au alergat \u00een sufragerie cu cutia de globuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama st\u0103tea pe canapea, cu bra\u021bele \u00eencruci\u0219ate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bunico, ne aju\u021bi? a \u00eentrebat Vlad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 mai am voie s\u0103 fac ceva \u00een casa asta, a r\u0103spuns ea sup\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am apropiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, nimeni nu te-a alungat. Vreau doar s\u0103 ne bucur\u0103m \u0219i noi de s\u0103rb\u0103tori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A privit spre cutia cu globuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bine. Dar globurile mari se pun jos, s\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103car la brad s\u0103 avem voie s\u0103 gre\u0219im, mam\u0103 Elena!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama a vrut s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103, dar Vlad i-a \u00eentins un glob ro\u0219u \u0219i a uitat de ceart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea am \u00eempodobit bradul \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am m\u00e2ncat sandvi\u0219uri \u0219i c\u00e2teva sarmale din cele preg\u0103tite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu am mai f\u0103cut crem\u0219nitul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu am mai sp\u0103lat oglinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar serviciul cu margine aurie a r\u0103mas \u00een dulap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, \u00eenainte s\u0103 vin\u0103 musafirii, mama a intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Monica, m\u0103car pr\u0103jiturile le-ai terminat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am cump\u0103rat cozonac \u0219i c\u00e2teva pr\u0103jituri de la brut\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A oftat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 comenteze Lidia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci o s\u0103-i spun c\u0103 sunt foarte bune \u0219i c\u0103 poate s\u0103 mai ia o felie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama a cl\u0103tinat din cap, dar n-a mai insistat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe la pr\u00e2nz au \u00eenceput s\u0103 soseasc\u0103 rudele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidia a intrat prima, cu o cutie lucioas\u0103 de pr\u0103jituri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la masa preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vai, Monica, dar ce pu\u021bine feluri ai f\u0103cut anul acesta!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da. Am hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 petrec mai mult timp cu copiii \u0219i mai pu\u021bin \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103i \u0219i salata de boeuf?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am cump\u0103rat-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidia a ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cump\u0103rat\u0103? Eu n-a\u0219 putea s\u0103 pun a\u0219a ceva pe masa de Cr\u0103ciun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit vechiul impuls de a m\u0103 justifica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar m-am oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci este foarte bine c\u0103 fiecare \u00ee\u0219i organizeaz\u0103 masa cum dore\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidia a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 replic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu a venit tanti Mariana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ce \u0219i-a l\u0103sat paltonul, s-a apropiat de etajera din sufragerie \u0219i a trecut cu degetul peste lemn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gestul acela \u00eel cuno\u0219team prea bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 apuc s\u0103 spun ceva, mama s-a ridicat de pe canapea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mariano, dac\u0103 tot cau\u021bi de lucru, \u00ee\u021bi dau eu o lavet\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen sufragerie s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mariana a r\u0103mas cu degetul \u00een aer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vai, Elena, eu doar m\u0103 uitam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci uit\u0103-te la brad. L-au \u00eempodobit copiii \u0219i este foarte frumos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eentors spre mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu-mi venea s\u0103 cred ce auzisem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia care m\u0103 trimisese ani \u00eentregi s\u0103 mai \u0219terg o dat\u0103 praful tocmai \u00eei ceruse surorii ei s\u0103 \u00eenceteze s\u0103-mi inspecteze casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La mas\u0103 au mai fost c\u00e2teva comentarii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidia a spus c\u0103 friptura putea fi mai condimentat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mariana a \u00eentrebat de ce nu f\u0103cusem dou\u0103 feluri de pr\u0103jituri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar, pentru prima dat\u0103, nu m-am ridicat imediat s\u0103 repar ceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas pe scaun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am m\u00e2ncat cald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am vorbit cu copiii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u00e2s c\u00e2nd Vlad a povestit cum pusese trei globuri pe aceea\u0219i creang\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i nimeni nu a plecat pentru c\u0103 masa nu era perfect\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ce musafirii au plecat, mama m-a g\u0103sit \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd c\u00e2teva farfurii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Las\u0103-le, Monica. Le sp\u0103l\u0103m m\u00e2ine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat la ea surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu \u00eemi spui asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A z\u00e2mbit obosit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am v\u0103zut-o pe Mariana cum c\u0103uta praful. \u0218i pe Lidia cum comenta fiecare fel de m\u00e2ncare. Parc\u0103 m-am v\u0103zut pe mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am l\u0103sat farfuriile jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, eu nu vreau s\u0103 renun\u021b la tradi\u021bii. \u00cemi place s\u0103 g\u0103tesc de Cr\u0103ciun. Dar vreau s\u0103 fac lucrurile cu bucurie, nu cu fric\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a a\u0219ezat la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tii, Monica, c\u00e2nd eram t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, mama m\u0103 certa dac\u0103 nu aveam casa perfect\u0103. Iar vecinele comentau orice. Am crezut c\u0103 a\u0219a trebuie s\u0103 fie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, mam\u0103. Dar noi putem face altfel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva clipe t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poate c\u0103 ai dreptate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din sufragerie se auzea r\u00e2sul copiilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin se juca \u00eempreun\u0103 cu ei l\u00e2ng\u0103 brad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama a privit spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Parc\u0103 este mai frumos anul acesta, a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se umplu ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, mam\u0103. Este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu pot spune c\u0103 mama s-a schimbat complet dup\u0103 acel Cr\u0103ciun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eemi atrage aten\u021bia dac\u0103 vede o fa\u021b\u0103 de mas\u0103 \u0219ifonat\u0103 sau o farfurie nepotrivit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar acum se opre\u0219te c\u00e2nd \u00eei spun c\u0103 nu este important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 nu mai confund grija pentru familie cu obliga\u021bia de a impresiona rudele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De atunci g\u0103tim ce putem, cump\u0103r\u0103m ce nu avem timp s\u0103 preg\u0103tim \u0219i nu mai transform\u0103m s\u0103rb\u0103torile \u00eentr-o competi\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara \u0219i Vlad \u00eempodobesc bradul cu noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin nu mai petrece Ajunul cu aspiratorul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu nu mai ajung \u00een ziua de Cr\u0103ciun at\u00e2t de obosit\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 nu m\u0103 pot bucura de nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 o cas\u0103 plin\u0103 de m\u00e2ncare nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 neap\u0103rat o familie fericit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i c\u0103 musafirii care vin s\u0103 caute praf vor g\u0103si \u00eentotdeauna ceva de criticat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar copiii no\u0219tri nu-\u0219i vor aminti peste ani c\u00e2te feluri de m\u00e2ncare am pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ce\u0219i vor aminti dac\u0103 am avut timp s\u0103 st\u0103m l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei, s\u0103 \u00eempodobim bradul \u0219i s\u0103 r\u00e2dem \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar pentru mine, acesta este Cr\u0103ciunul pe care vreau s\u0103-l p\u0103strez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
