Dup\u0103 o zi obositoare de munc\u0103, Ortenzia nu visa dec\u00e2t la un lucru: s\u0103 cin\u0103 cu so\u021bul ei, s\u0103 fac\u0103 o baie cald\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 adoarm\u0103. Ziua fusese grea \u2014 rapoarte, telefoane, agita\u021bie. A parcat \u00een curte, a ap\u0103sat butonul de la alarm\u0103 \u0219i s-a gr\u0103bit spre scar\u0103. Deja \u00ee\u0219i c\u0103uta cheile \u00een geant\u0103 c\u00e2nd a auzit pa\u0219i ezita\u021bi \u00een spatele ei. S-a \u00eentors \u0219i a v\u0103zut o fat\u0103 slab\u0103, de vreo optsprezece ani. \u00cen bra\u021be avea un bebelu\u0219 \u00eenf\u0103\u0219urat \u00eentr-o p\u0103turic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Scuza\u021bi-m\u0103, sunte\u021bi\u2026 sunte\u021bi Ortenzia? So\u021bia lui Sandu? a \u00eentrebat str\u0103ina cu un glas tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, a r\u0103spuns Ortenzia cu precau\u021bie. S-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat ceva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 cheam\u0103 Nicoleta\u2026 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 v\u0103 abordez a\u0219a\u2026 Dar\u2026 acesta e fiul lui Sandu. Se nume\u0219te Drago\u0219. Nu \u0219tiu ce s\u0103 fac\u2026 Am fost curier\u0103, \u00een ziua aceea i-am adus so\u021bului dumneavoastr\u0103 un colet. Atunci\u2026 tocmai m\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103sise iubitul, eram distrus\u0103, pl\u00e2ngeam la serviciu. So\u021bul dumneavoastr\u0103 a \u00eencercat s\u0103 m\u0103 consoleze\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A, da, v\u0103d c\u0103 v-a \u201econsolat\u201d bine, a replicat Ortenzia cu r\u0103utate. \u0218i acum ce vrei de la mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 nu am unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc. Nu am cas\u0103, nici ajutor. Nu mai rezist. V\u0103 rog, lua\u021bi-l. El e fiul lui\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, draga mea! Dac\u0103 l-ai f\u0103cut, tu s\u0103-l cre\u0219ti! Ce treab\u0103 am eu? a izbucnit Ortenzia \u0219i, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se brusc, s-a \u00eendreptat spre scar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar \u00een\u0103untru fierbea. Oric\u00e2t \u00eencerca s\u0103 par\u0103 indiferent\u0103, g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 so\u021bul ei o \u00een\u0219elase, c\u0103 poate avea un copil \u00een afar\u0103, nu o l\u0103sa \u00een pace. C\u00e2nd Sandu a sosit acas\u0103 seara, ea l-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat cu o \u00eentrebare direct\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai dormit cu Nicoleta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a plecat ochii, nu s-a scuzat, nu a min\u021bit. Doar a spus \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da\u2026 A fost o singur\u0103 dat\u0103\u2026 eram \u00eentr-o stare groaznic\u0103\u2026 De mii de ori mi-am dorit s\u0103 nu se fi \u00eent\u00e2mplat\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nici nu apucaser\u0103 s\u0103 termine discu\u021bia, c\u00e2nd s-a auzit soneria. Sandu a deschis \u0219i s-a \u00eentors cu bebelu\u0219ul \u00een bra\u021be. Pe p\u0103tur\u0103 era o h\u00e2rtie: *\u201eSe nume\u0219te Drago\u0219. V\u0103 rog, ave\u021bi grij\u0103 de el\u2026\u201d*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St\u0103tea uluit, ca \u0219i cum p\u0103m\u00e2ntul i s-ar fi smuls de sub picioare. Ortenzia a luat copilul \u00een bra\u021be, s-a uitat la fa\u021ba lui mic\u0103 \u0219i speriat\u0103 \u2014 apoi i-a zis so\u021bului:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Du-te la farmacie. Ia tot \u2014 biberoane, scutece, lapte praf. Repede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u0219a a r\u0103mas Drago\u0219 la ei. Au trecut zile, apoi s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Sandu nu era preg\u0103tit pentru paternitate, mai ales cu \u00eendoieli. P\u0103rin\u021bii lui au refuzat s\u0103-l recunoasc\u0103 pe nepot, numind-o pe Nicoleta \u201et\u00e2rf\u0103 de drum\u201d. Sub presiunea familiei, a insistat pentru un test ADN. Rezultatul l-a \u0219ocat: Sandu nu era tat\u0103l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A venit acas\u0103 \u0219i a anun\u021bat pe loc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103-l d\u0103m la orfelinat. Nu e al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Ortenzia luase deja hot\u0103r\u00e2rea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 El e al meu. Dac\u0103 vrei, tr\u0103ie\u0219te cu noi, dac\u0103 nu, pleac\u0103. Dar nu-l dau. Dumnezeu nu ne-a dat copii ai no\u0219tri, a\u0219a c\u0103 a trimis pe acesta \u2014 nu \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandu a plecat. A cerut divor\u021bul. Ortenzia a r\u0103mas singur\u0103, dar nu s-a pierdut. A avut ajutor de la o d\u0103dac\u0103, iar \u00een zilele grele, de la vecini. Se descurca. Dar \u00eentr-o zi copilul s-a \u00eemboln\u0103vit \u2014 febr\u0103 peste patruzeci, convulsii\u2026 Lumea i s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it \u00eentr-o clip\u0103. A venit ambulanta, diagnosticul \u2014 pneumonie, spitalizare de urgen\u021b\u0103. Zile \u00eentregi \u00een spital, perfuzii, nop\u021bi nedormite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acolo, \u00eentre pere\u021bii spitalului, a ap\u0103rut un medic \u2014 t\u00e2n\u0103r, atent, calm. Se numea Mihai. A avut grij\u0103 de Drago\u0219 \u0219i p\u0103rea c\u0103 \u00eencepe s\u0103 simt\u0103 ceva pentru Ortenzia. La un moment dat, a pomenit de Nicoleta \u2014 zicea c\u0103 venise pe acolo, \u00eentrebase de copil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ortenzia i-a cerut:
\u2014 Dac\u0103 mai trece pe aici, adu-mi-o la mine. Vreau s\u0103 vorbesc cu ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peste c\u00e2teva zile, Nicoleta a venit. Discu\u021bia a fost lung\u0103 \u0219i sincer\u0103. A povestit c\u0103, p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, aflase \u2014 copilul nu era al lui Sandu. Ci al b\u0103iatului care o p\u0103r\u0103sise. C\u00e2nd \u0219i-a dat seama, era prea t\u00e2rziu. Era disperat\u0103, nu \u0219tia cum s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103, unde s\u0103 mearg\u0103. Sandu fusese singurul care o ascultase odinioar\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s-o judece. Gre\u0219ise, f\u0103cuse o prostie\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ortenzia n-a strigat, n-a mustrat. Doar a ascultat. \u0218i dintr-o dat\u0103 \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 nu poate fi furioas\u0103. C\u00e2ndva, \u00een tinere\u021be, f\u0103cuse un avort. Poate c\u0103 acum Universul \u00eei d\u0103duse \u0219ansa \u2014 \u0219ansa s\u0103 salveze o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mut\u0103-te la mine, a spus \u00eencet. \u00cencepe iar de la zero. \u00cenva\u021b\u0103. Ne vom descurca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicoleta a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Mai t\u00e2rziu, s-a \u00eenscris la facultate, a \u00eent\u00e2lnit un b\u0103rbat cumsecade, s-a m\u0103ritat. S-a mutat cu el \u0219i cu Drago\u0219. Iar Ortenzia\u2026 Ortenzia \u0219i-a g\u0103sit fericirea. Mihai n-a plecat. I-a cerut s\u0103 se c\u0103s\u0103toreasc\u0103. Acum a\u0219teapt\u0103 un copil \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandu a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103. A doua lui familie se pr\u0103bu\u0219ise. Dar era deja prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori faptele bune se \u00eentorc nu imediat, dar se \u00eentorc. Ideea e s\u0103 po\u021bi ierta. \u0218i s\u0103 ascul\u021bi inima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
