Chiril a \u00eencremenit, inima \u00eei b\u0103tea \u00een piept ca un ciocan. Totul \u00een el \u021bipa: \u201eCe naiba e acolo?!\u201d Dar nu se mai putea opri. M\u00e2na i se ducea singur\u0103 spre fermoarul gen\u021bii. Nadia tremura, dar nu mai opunea rezisten\u021b\u0103. \u00cen ochii ei \u2014 lacrimi, disperare \u0219i ceva mai ad\u00e2nc, ceva ce el nu reu\u0219ea s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deschis geanta \u2014 \u0219i primul lucru pe care l-a sim\u021bit a fost mirosul. Cald, cu lapte \u0219i un strop de vanilie. \u00cen\u0103untru era o p\u0103turic\u0103 pentru bebelu\u0219i, veche, uzat\u0103, dar \u00eemp\u0103turit\u0103 cu grij\u0103. L\u00e2ng\u0103 \u2014 o sticlu\u021b\u0103 cu ap\u0103, un ursule\u021b de plu\u0219 cu o ureche lips\u0103\u2026 \u0218i, \u00een col\u021b, dormea un b\u0103ie\u021bel mic, \u00eenvelit \u00eentr-un fular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0102sta e\u2026 un copil? \u2014 a \u0219optit Chiril, nevenindu-i s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadia a suspinat \u0219i \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2inile la piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E fr\u0103\u021biorul meu. Are un an \u0219i dou\u0103 luni. Eu\u2026 eu n-am putut s\u0103-l las singur acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar p\u0103rin\u021bii vo\u0219tri?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mama a murit anul trecut, tata \u2014 \u0219i mai demult. N-am r\u0103mas cu nimeni. La \u00eenceput \u00eel l\u0103sam singur acas\u0103. Dar vecinii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 bat\u0103 la u\u0219\u0103, s\u0103 amenin\u021be cu protec\u021bia copilului. \u0218i apoi, \u00eentr-o zi\u2026 s-a op\u0103rit la m\u00e2n\u0103, c\u00e2nd eu eram la munc\u0103. \u2014 Vocea i s-a rupt. \u2014 Nu mai pot s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc a\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiril a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut. \u00cen piept \u00eel durea ceva tare, ca \u0219i cum cineva i-ar fi str\u00e2ns inima cu for\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cel iau cu mine, dar\u2026 \u00eel ascund, de team\u0103 c\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 da\u021bi afar\u0103. N-am furat niciodat\u0103 nimic! \u2014 \u0218i-a \u0219ters brusc lacrimile. \u2014 \u00cel hr\u0103nesc din ce-mi cump\u0103r eu cu banii mei. Asta\u2026 asta e tot ce am \u00een geanta asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103ie\u021belul s-a mi\u0219cat, \u0219i-a deschis ochii. Ochii lui mari \u0219i gri erau la fel ca ai ei. S-a uitat la Chiril \u0219i i-a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Z\u00e2mbetul unui suflet mic, curat, care \u00eenc\u0103 nu \u0219tie ce-i cruzimea lumii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiril s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eencet ghemuit l\u00e2ng\u0103 geant\u0103. \u00cen cap \u00eei r\u0103s\u0103reau amintiri \u2014 cum a crescut \u00eentr-un c\u0103min, cum mama lui l-a crescut singur\u0103, muncind pe trei locuri. Cum, uneori, m\u00e2ncau doar p\u00e2ine cu ceai, c\u0103 nu-\u0219i permiteau altceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eenchis fermoarul \u00eencet \u0219i s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-o s\u0103 mai trebuiasc\u0103 s\u0103 te ascunzi, \u2014 a zis \u00eencet. \u2014 O s\u0103 v\u0103 fac o c\u0103m\u0103ru\u021b\u0103 jos, \u00een subsol. E cald acolo, e un pat. \u0218i pute\u021bi sta \u00eempreun\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ochii Nadiei s-au umplut de lacrimi \u2014 dar nu de fric\u0103, ci de u\u0219urare. \u0218i-a str\u00e2ns geanta la piept cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde, dar nu ca s-o protejeze, ci ca s\u0103-i mul\u021bumeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce\u2026? \u2014 a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiu cum e s\u0103 n-ai la cine s\u0103 te duci. \u2014 S-a uitat la b\u0103ie\u021bel. \u2014 \u0218i nu vreau ca el s\u0103 creasc\u0103 a\u0219a cum am crescut eu. Tu e\u0219ti puternic\u0103. \u0218i cinstit\u0103. Am nevoie de oameni ca tine pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St\u0103teau sub un felinar, \u00een curtea \u00eenz\u0103pezit\u0103 a restaurantului. \u00cen jur \u2014 lini\u0219te, doar z\u0103pada c\u0103dea moale pe jos. \u0218i \u00een lini\u0219tea aia, pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Nadia a sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai e singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trecut o lun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jos, \u00een subsolul restaurantului, a ap\u0103rut o camer\u0103 mic\u0103, cu juc\u0103rii, un covora\u0219 c\u0103lduros \u0219i un p\u0103tu\u021b. Nadia lucra \u00een continuare, dar cu capul sus. Iar Chiril \u2014 parc\u0103 se schimbase. Era mai bl\u00e2nd cu angaja\u021bii, z\u00e2mbea mai des.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori cobora \u00een subsol cu biscui\u021bi pentru cel mic, iar el alerga spre el ca spre un frate mai mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asculta pove\u0219tile Nadiei \u0219i se g\u00e2ndea \u00een t\u0103cere: Uneori, ce-i mai de pre\u021b se ascunde \u00eentr-o geant\u0103 sport banal\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
