\u2014 Mam\u0103, diriginta a zis s\u0103 semnezi lucrarea asta!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea Corinei a venit t\u0103ios de scurt, ca o propozi\u021bie spus\u0103 din obliga\u021bie. Avea 16 ani \u0219i \u00eencepuse de ceva vreme s\u0103 devin\u0103 tot mai distant\u0103. Am luat foaia \u00eentins\u0103 \u0219i pixul, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 suspectez nimic. M\u0103 preg\u0103team s\u0103 semnez mecanic, ca de at\u00e2tea ori. Dar ochii mi s-au oprit \u00een col\u021bul paginii, acolo unde cifra 4 se l\u0103f\u0103ia cu cerneal\u0103 ro\u0219ie, rece \u0219i umilitoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi fuge s\u00e2ngele din obraji. M-am uitat la ea lung, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta, Corina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce s\u0103 \u00eensemne? O not\u0103 mic\u0103. Se mai \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Se mai \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103?! am repetat aproape f\u0103r\u0103 aer. Tu, care aveai numai note bune? Tu, care \u00eemi spuneai c\u0103 totul e \u00een regul\u0103? Cum de ai ajuns aici?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dat din umeri, privind \u00een gol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai mul\u021bi colegi au luat note mici, nu e mare lucru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103 colegii t\u0103i! Eu nu i-am crescut pe ei! Eu te-am crescut pe tine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am ridicat brusc, cu foaia \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, sim\u021bind un val de frustrare cresc\u00e2nd \u00een piept. Nu era doar despre o not\u0103. Era despre o direc\u021bie. Despre eforturile mele, despre nop\u021bile nedormite, despre dorin\u021ba de a-i oferi un viitor pe care eu nu l-am avut. Despre frica aceea surd\u0103 c\u0103 tot ce f\u0103cusem p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci fusese \u00een zadar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai ai \u0219i alte note de 4? am \u00eentrebat, cu un ton care m-a surprins \u0219i pe mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a t\u0103cut. Apoi s-a ridicat, a plecat \u00een camera ei f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. U\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00een urma ei, l\u0103s\u00e2nd \u00een urm\u0103 o t\u0103cere ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo, cu pixul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i cu un gol \u00een suflet. M-am pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe canapea. \u00cen ultimul an, munca m\u0103 acaparase complet. Trei schimburi, o navet\u0103 epuizant\u0103, grijile casnice \u0219i facturile nepl\u0103tite. \u00cei l\u0103sasem libertate, convins\u0103 c\u0103 are discern\u0103m\u00e2nt. Dar poate gre\u0219isem. Poate tocmai pentru c\u0103 e adolescent\u0103, ar fi avut nevoie de mai mult\u0103 prezen\u021b\u0103. Mai mult\u0103 ghidare. Mai mult\u0103 mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi m-am dus la liceu. Aveam nevoie de adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diriginta m-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat \u00een cancelarie. M-a privit lung, cu o triste\u021be sincer\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamna Carmen, v\u0103 mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 a\u021bi venit. Sincer, m\u0103 bucur. Situa\u021bia Corinei e delicat\u0103. Are zeci de absen\u021be nemotivate, note mici la mai multe materii. La matematic\u0103\u2026 e pe punctul de a r\u0103m\u00e2ne corigent\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 replic\u0103. Inima mi s-a str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103 cred\u2026 \u00cen urm\u0103 cu doi ani avea numai 10. Cum s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Anturajul, poate. Apatie. Lips\u0103 de motiva\u021bie. Se \u00eenchide \u00een ea. S-a schimbat mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 m\u0103 pr\u0103bu\u0219esc. Dar n-am pl\u00e2ns. Nu acolo. Am \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103 \u0219i am luat o decizie. Brusc\u0103, dar clar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 dirigint\u0103, v\u0103 rog\u2026 V\u0103 rog s\u0103 o \u00eenvoi\u021bi dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Am un plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fost surprins\u0103, dar n-a ezitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi \u00eencredere \u00een instinctul de mam\u0103, \u0219tiu c\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi ce face\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd Corina se preg\u0103tea s\u0103 plece la \u0219coal\u0103, i-am spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Azi nu mergi nic\u0103ieri. Nici m\u00e2ine. Te-am \u00eenvoit dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce? Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mergi cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La munc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la mine ciudat, dar n-a mai zis nimic. M-am \u00eembr\u0103cat, am preg\u0103tit dou\u0103 sandvi\u0219uri, le-am pus \u00eentr-o pung\u0103 \u0219i am plecat \u00eempreun\u0103. Trenul era aglomerat, obositor. Am cobor\u00e2t \u0219i am mers aproape 3 kilometri pe jos. Era frig. Corina nu \u00eentreba nimic. P\u0103stra o t\u0103cere t\u0103ioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria cantinei militare unde lucram de ani de zile. O lume \u00een care eu eram Carmen, femeia care ridic\u0103 sacii de cartofi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 ajutor. Femeia care g\u0103tea pentru 200 de oameni zilnic. Femeia care nici nu-\u0219i mai sim\u021bea umerii, dar nu se pl\u00e2ngea niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-am dat un \u0219or\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Azi lucrezi cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la mine, derutat\u0103. Apoi, f\u0103r\u0103 prea mult\u0103 \u00eempotrivire, s-a apucat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cur\u0103\u021bat kilograme de cartofi. A t\u0103iat ceap\u0103, pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd din cauza aburului iute. A stat ore \u00eentregi l\u00e2ng\u0103 aragazurile industriale, \u00een c\u0103ldur\u0103 sufocant\u0103. Miros de ulei, de varz\u0103 fiart\u0103, de ciorb\u0103 \u0219i carne. A sp\u0103lat, a frecat, a str\u00e2ns. F\u0103r\u0103 pauze lungi, f\u0103r\u0103 telefon, f\u0103r\u0103 muzic\u0103 \u00een c\u0103\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut c\u0103 ridic singur\u0103 un sac greu de ceap\u0103, mi-a s\u0103rit \u00een ajutor. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut cum str\u00e2ng masa \u0219i reiau munca f\u0103r\u0103 un oftat, m-a urm\u0103rit cu o privire pe care n-o mai v\u0103zusem p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara, \u00een tren, a adormit cu capul pe um\u0103rul meu. M\u00e2inile \u00eei erau ro\u0219ii. Umerii c\u0103zu\u021bi. Dar nu a zis nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am repetat asta zi de zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen a 14-a zi, la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul turei, Corina a venit la mine. Avea ochii umezi. M-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at str\u00e2ns, ca \u00een copil\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103, mam\u0103\u2026 Iart\u0103-m\u0103 c\u0103 am tratat totul cu nep\u0103sare. Acum \u0219tiu. Acum simt. Vreau s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b, s\u0103 muncesc pentru un viitor. Vreau s\u0103 nu ajung niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc at\u00e2ta trud\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile. Dar am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De aceea lupt, draga mea. Ca s\u0103 ai o \u0219ans\u0103 pe care eu n-am avut-o. Tu e\u0219ti visul meu devenit realitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara am vorbit, inim\u0103 c\u0103tre inim\u0103. Nu ca mam\u0103 \u0219i fiic\u0103, ci ca dou\u0103 femei care \u00een\u021beleg ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi iei via\u021ba \u00een m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lunile care au urmat au fost ca o \u00eenflorire. Notele Corinei au \u00eenceput s\u0103 creasc\u0103. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 se trezeasc\u0103 singur\u0103 diminea\u021ba. \u00ce\u0219i f\u0103cea temele, era atent\u0103 la ore. Nu mai lipsea. Se \u021binea departe de anturajul de odinioar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi c\u00e2nd m-a sunat diriginta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu-mi vine s\u0103 cred c\u00e2t de mult s-a schimbat. Ce i-a\u021bi f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit la telefon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nimic magic, doamn\u0103 dirigint\u0103. I-am ar\u0103tat realitatea. \u0218i a \u00een\u021beles-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morala: Copiii nu \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 \u00eentotdeauna din cuvinte. Uneori, trebuie s\u0103 simt\u0103 cu m\u00e2inile, cu ochii \u0219i cu inima c\u00e2t de greu se c\u00e2\u0219tig\u0103 o p\u00e2ine. Atunci \u00een\u021beleg. Atunci cresc. Atunci \u00eenfloresc. Pentru c\u0103 uneori, cea mai puternic\u0103 lec\u021bie nu e \u021bip\u0103tul, ci exemplul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
