Ivan r\u0103mase blocat. Feti\u021ba, abia deschiz\u00e2nd ochii, \u00eei \u00eentinse ceva. M\u00e2na ei mic\u0103 tremura u\u0219or. Era o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 din a\u021b\u0103 ro\u0219ie, cu o cruciuli\u021b\u0103 mic\u0103 ag\u0103\u021bat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce e asta? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Ivan, confuz, lu\u00e2nd br\u0103\u021b\u0103rica cu dou\u0103 degete.
\u2014 Mama\u2026 mi-a zis s-o port\u2026 s\u0103 m\u0103 apere\u2026 \u2014 \u0219opti feti\u021ba abia auzit, apoi \u00eenchise ochii din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan sim\u021bi cum ceva \u00een pieptul lui se rupe. Avea un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. Se uit\u0103 la br\u0103\u021bar\u0103, apoi la copil. Nu mai conta \u0219edin\u021ba, nu mai conta nimic. Se urc\u0103 din nou la volan, cu feti\u021ba \u00eentins\u0103 pe bancheta din spate \u0219i porni direct spre spital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u021bi avut mare noroc, domnule. Feti\u021ba e \u00een afara oric\u0103rui pericol. Doar o como\u021bie u\u0219oar\u0103. A\u021bi f\u0103cut bine c\u0103 a\u021bi adus-o repede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan d\u0103du din cap, dar privirea lui era pierdut\u0103. De c\u00e2teva ore se plimba prin hol, nelini\u0219tit, \u021bin\u00e2nd \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 br\u0103\u021b\u0103rica aceea. Nu reu\u0219ea s-o lase jos. Se sim\u021bea de parc\u0103 feti\u021ba i-o d\u0103duse inten\u021bionat. Dar de ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l fetei? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 o asistent\u0103, uit\u00e2ndu-se \u00een jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 adic\u0103\u2026 nu \u0219tiu unde-i p\u0103rin\u021bii\u2026 \u2014 zise Ivan, ridic\u00e2ndu-se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A, deci sunte\u021bi\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 am accidentat-o. Din gre\u0219eal\u0103. Eu am adus-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asistenta se uit\u0103 lung la el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 zic\u0103 nimic. Apoi oft\u0103 \u0219i zise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poli\u021bia va dori s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 cu dumneavoastr\u0103. Dar deocamdat\u0103, feti\u021ba vrea s\u0103 v\u0103 vad\u0103. O cheam\u0103 Daria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan intr\u0103 \u00eencet \u00een salon. Daria era treaz\u0103, cu obrajii pu\u021bin palizi, dar z\u00e2mbea slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103\u2026 \u2014 zise ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103, scumpo\u2026 \u00eemi pare at\u00e2t de r\u0103u\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu-i nimic, nenea. Mama zicea c\u0103 tot ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103, se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 cu un rost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan sim\u021bi cum \u00eel str\u00e2nge stomacul. Se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 patul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde e mama ta? Sau tata?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mama\u2026 a murit. Tata\u2026 a plecat de mult. Eu stau la m\u0103tu\u0219a, dar azi am fugit\u2026 n-a vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 lase s\u0103 merg \u00een parc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan r\u0103mase f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte. Se uita la ea, micu\u021b\u0103, singur\u0103, dar at\u00e2t de curajoas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce ai fugit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Voiam s\u0103-i duc br\u0103\u021b\u0103rica asta mamei\u2026 la cimitir. Dar am c\u0103zut\u2026 \u0219i apoi a venit ma\u0219ina ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan sim\u021bi din nou acel nod. Br\u0103\u021b\u0103rica. Un gest simplu, pur, care i-a dat lumea peste cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, Ivan nu s-a mai \u00eentors la birou. A sunat, \u0219i-a cerut scuze, \u0219i-a luat concediu. Mergea zilnic la spital. Daria se ata\u0219ase de el. \u00cel a\u0219tepta, \u00eei povestea, \u00eel \u021binea de m\u00e2n\u0103. \u0218i lui i se p\u0103rea c\u0103, de ani de zile, nu mai fusese at\u00e2t de lini\u0219tit. Sau at\u00e2t de viu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, \u00een timp ce o \u00eenvelea cu grij\u0103, ea \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu ai copii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 \u2014 r\u0103spunse el. \u2014 Am fost mereu prea ocupat ca s\u0103-mi fac o familie. \u0218i\u2026 cred c\u0103 nici n-am fost omul potrivit pentru asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar mie-mi place de tine, nenea. M\u0103 simt bine c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan o m\u00e2ng\u00e2ie pe frunte, dar nu spuse nimic. Avea lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 externare, Ivan o duse personal la m\u0103tu\u0219a ei. Dar casa aceea era rece, murdar\u0103, iar femeia care deschise u\u0219a avea o fa\u021b\u0103 acr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Iar ai fugit, nesim\u021bito? \u2014 \u021bip\u0103 ea la Daria, tr\u0103g\u00e2nd-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi! \u2014 o opri Ivan. \u2014 A fost un accident. Am avut grij\u0103 de ea c\u00e2t a fost la spital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bravo \u021bie. Acum las-o \u0219i pleac\u0103, c\u0103 n-avem nevoie de salvatori aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 fac\u0103. Se \u00eentoarse spre Daria. Ea nu pl\u00e2ngea, dar privirea ei \u00eel sf\u00e2\u0219ia. Atunci, pe loc, lu\u0103 o decizie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Uite ce e\u2026 vreau s-o iau cu mine. M\u0103car pentru o vreme, p\u00e2n\u0103 g\u0103sim o solu\u021bie mai bun\u0103. O pot \u00eenscrie la o \u0219coal\u0103 bun\u0103. S\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 cineva de ea cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u0103tu\u0219a \u00eel privi suspicioas\u0103, dar c\u00e2nd Ivan scose ni\u0219te bani \u0219i-i \u00eentinse, femeia ridic\u0103 din umeri:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 F\u0103 cum vrei. Oricum mi-e \u00een plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trei luni mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00een apartamentul lui Ivan, pe frigider erau lipite desene. Prin cas\u0103 se auzea r\u00e2s de copil. Iar \u00eentr-un col\u021b, pe o poli\u021b\u0103, st\u0103tea o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 ro\u0219ie, cu o cruciuli\u021b\u0103, pus\u0103 \u00eentr-o ram\u0103 mic\u0103, de parc\u0103 era un trofeu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan nu mai era acela\u0219i. Se trezea diminea\u021ba cu poft\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103. \u00cei f\u0103cea sandvi\u0219uri Dariei, o ducea la \u0219coal\u0103, o asculta seara cum povestea tot ce i s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat. Iar ea, ei \u00eei sclipesc ochii c\u00e2nd \u00eel strig\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tati!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd o aude, Ivan simte c\u0103 inima i se umple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Totul \u00eencepuse cu un accident. Cu o clip\u0103 de neaten\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar via\u021ba\u2026 via\u021ba \u00eei d\u0103duse o a doua \u0219ans\u0103. \u0218i el n-avea de g\u00e2nd s-o rateze. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
