Anto\u0219ka s-a sim\u021bit din nou cuprins de fric\u0103 c\u00e2nd a auzit aceste cuvinte. Nu voia s\u0103 ajung\u0103 \u00een orfelinat, voia s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 aici, chiar dac\u0103 era cu baba Nadia, care nu-l iubea.
\u0218i mai era \u0219i frica c\u0103 cineva o s\u0103-i spun\u0103 babei despre b\u0103taia cu Igor, care locuia pe strada al\u0103turat\u0103. Atunci nu se vor mai limita doar la amenin\u021b\u0103ri \u0219i strig\u0103te. \u00cen joc va intra ramura sub\u021bire de salcie pe care baba o folosea ca metod\u0103 de educa\u021bie pentru b\u0103iatul neascult\u0103tor. \u0218tia deja: Nadejda Stepanovna \u00eel va pedepsi cum se cade, \u0219i va durea s\u0103 se a\u0219eze o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce s\u0103 fac cu tine? \u2013 a exclamat baba Nadia, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i ia ochii de la el. \u2013 Mama ta te-a adus \u00een poal\u0103, iar acum eu trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 chinui!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anto\u0219ka o asculta pe jum\u0103tate pe baba Nadia pl\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-se.
Deodat\u0103, s-a sim\u021bit r\u0103u. A sim\u021bit un val de grea\u021b\u0103, iar capul i se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea. Camera a \u00eenceput s\u0103 i se \u00eenv\u00e2rt\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba ochilor. De departe, a auzit strig\u0103tul \u00een\u0103bu\u0219it al babei:
\u2014 Anton! Anto\u0219ka! Ce e cu tine? \u2013 striga baba Nadia, dar vocea ei p\u0103rea s\u0103 vin\u0103 de departe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anto\u0219ka a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se \u021bin\u0103 pe picioare, dar corpul i s-a f\u0103cut ca din lut. \u00cen fa\u021ba ochilor totul s-a \u00eentunecat, \u0219i a le\u0219inat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd \u0219i-a revenit, a v\u0103zut c\u0103 era \u00eentins pe patul s\u0103u. L\u00e2ng\u0103 el st\u0103tea Irina Arkadievna, asistenta local\u0103, pe care, probabil, o chemase baba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ei, Anto\u0219ka, ne-ai speriat pe to\u021bi, \u2013 a spus Irina cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be, verific\u00e2ndu-i pulsul. \u2013 Ai le\u0219inat. Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anto\u0219ka a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, dar capul i s-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu te gr\u0103bi, \u2013 l-a oprit Irina. \u2013 Ai, se pare, o contuzie. Spune-mi, ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103iatul \u0219i-a plecat ochii. Nu voia s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, dar privirea bl\u00e2nd\u0103 a asistentei l-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 se deschid\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M-am luat la har\u021b\u0103 cu Igor, \u2013 a \u0219optit el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Din nou? \u2013 a oftat Irina. \u2013 \u0218i de data asta din ce cauz\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A zis c\u0103 sunt\u2026 un copil nelegitim, \u2013 a scos cu greu Anto\u0219ka. \u2013 C\u0103 mama mea a umblat cu oricine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina s-a \u00eencruntat, dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 apuce s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, \u00een camer\u0103 a n\u0103v\u0103lit baba Nadia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ei, m\u0103i tic\u0103losule! \u2013 a \u021bipat ea. \u2013 Cum ai \u00eendr\u0103znit s\u0103-l atingi pe Igor? El e dintr-o familie cumsecade, nu ca tine! \u0218i ce a zis el e adev\u0103rat! E\u0219ti un copil nelegitim, un bastard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina s-a ridicat brusc, bloc\u00e2ndu-i calea babei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nadejda Stepanovna, ajunge! \u2013 a spus ea aspru. \u2013 Cum pute\u021bi s\u0103 vorbi\u021bi a\u0219a cu un copil? El nu e de vin\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu spun adev\u0103rul! \u2013 a r\u0103spuns baba. \u2013 Ma\u0219a a umblat cu oricine, iar acum eu trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 descurc!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns pumnii, dar s-a st\u0103p\u00e2nit. S-a \u00eentors c\u0103tre Anto\u0219ka, care se str\u00e2nsese \u00eentr-un col\u021b al patului, \u0219i a spus bl\u00e2nd:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Anto\u0219ka, dormi acum. Eu am s\u0103 am grij\u0103 de tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, Irina s-a \u00eentors cu documente. Hot\u0103r\u00e2se ferm s\u0103-l ia pe Anto\u0219ka cu ea. Baba Nadia, auzind propunerea, a f\u0103cut doar un sunet de dispre\u021b:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ia-l, dac\u0103 vrei. Doar s\u0103 nu mai apar\u0103 pe aici!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina nu a contrazis. L-a ajutat pe Anto\u0219ka s\u0103-\u0219i str\u00e2ng\u0103 pu\u021binele lucruri, \u0219i au plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via\u021ba la Irina a fost cu totul altfel. Anto\u0219ka a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u0103 e iubit \u0219i c\u0103 cineva are grij\u0103 de el. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 mearg\u0103 la o \u0219coal\u0103 nou\u0103, unde a fost primit cu c\u0103ldur\u0103. Treptat, frica \u0219i nesiguran\u021ba au \u00eenceput s\u0103 dispar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, la cin\u0103, Anto\u0219ka a \u00eentrebat nea\u0219teptat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Irina Arkadievna, a\u021bi putea\u2026 s\u0103 fi\u021bi mama mea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina a z\u00e2mbit, \u0219terg\u00e2nd o lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bine\u00een\u021beles, Anto\u0219ka. De mult te consider fiul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut c\u00e2\u021biva ani. Anto\u0219ka a crescut, devenind un t\u00e2n\u0103r \u00eencrez\u0103tor \u00een sine. A intrat la universitate \u0219i visa s\u0103 devin\u0103 doctor, ca s\u0103 ajute al\u021bi copii, a\u0219a cum Irina l-a ajutat pe el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o zi, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se acas\u0103, a v\u0103zut o ma\u0219in\u0103 scump\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 intrare. Din ma\u0219in\u0103 a ie\u0219it o femeie \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 \u2013 baba Nadia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Anton, \u2013 a \u00eenceput ea, dar el a \u00eentrerupt-o:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce a\u021bi venit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am vrut\u2026 s\u0103-mi cer scuze, \u2013 a scos cu greu baba. \u2013 Am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 am gre\u0219it. Ai devenit un om bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anto\u0219ka a privit-o \u00een t\u0103cere. \u00cen sufletul lui se luptau resentimentele \u0219i iertarea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, \u2013 a spus el \u00een cele din urm\u0103. \u2013 Dar mama mea este Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baba Nadia a dat din cap \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic, a plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anto\u0219ka a urcat \u00een apartament, unde Irina \u00eel a\u0219tepta. A \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at-o \u0219i a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irina a z\u00e2mbit, \u00een\u021beleg\u00e2nd c\u0103 fiul ei \u0219i-a g\u0103sit \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it fericirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u0219a s-a \u00eencheiat povestea unui b\u0103iat care \u0219i-a g\u0103sit familia \u0219i a reu\u0219it s\u0103-\u0219i ierte trecutul pentru a-\u0219i construi viitorul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
