Familia Lascu trecea de mul\u021bi ani printr-o perioad\u0103 grea. Olga Serafina, profesoar\u0103 de limba rom\u00e2n\u0103 cu peste 20 de ani la catedr\u0103, \u0219i so\u021bul ei, Petru, un b\u0103rbat cum rar mai \u00eent\u00e2lne\u0219ti \u00een ziua de azi \u2014 devotat, calm \u0219i atent \u2014 \u00eencercaser\u0103 ani la r\u00e2nd s\u0103 devin\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bi. F\u0103cuser\u0103 tot ce le st\u0103tuse \u00een putin\u021b\u0103. Spital dup\u0103 spital, tratamente scumpe, leacuri b\u0103be\u0219ti, rug\u0103ciuni la m\u0103n\u0103stiri, ba chiar \u0219i un pelerinaj \u00een Ierusalim, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 poate acolo, \u00een \u0162ara Sf\u00e2nt\u0103, se va \u00eent\u00e2mpla minunea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petru i-a fost mereu al\u0103turi. N-a repro\u0219at nimic, n-a dat \u00eenapoi. Din contr\u0103, o sus\u021binea pe Olga \u00een fiecare drum, \u00een fiecare \u00eencercare. Dar anii treceau, iar vestea cea bun\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2rzia. A\u0219a c\u0103, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 de toamn\u0103, s-au privit \u00een ochi \u0219i au \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 poate destinul lor e altul. Au decis s\u0103 adopte. \u0218i nu unul, ci dou\u0103 suflete de copil, pentru c\u0103 a\u0219a sim\u021beau am\u00e2ndoi \u2014 c\u0103 inima le e destul de mare pentru doi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-au interesat, au f\u0103cut dosare, iar \u00een jude\u021bul vecin, la un orfelinat mic, aflaser\u0103 c\u0103 erau dou\u0103 feti\u021be disponibile pentru adop\u021bie. Plini de speran\u021b\u0103, str\u00e2ngeau bagajele c\u00e2nd, pe nea\u0219teptate, Olga a sim\u021bit o grea\u021b\u0103 puternic\u0103 doar la mirosul de chiftele proasp\u0103t pr\u0103jite. A fost prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd Petru a v\u0103zut-o palid\u0103 \u0219i ame\u021bit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A am\u00e2nat plecarea, a urcat-o \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i au plecat la policlinic\u0103. \u0218i acolo \u2014 \u0219ocul vie\u021bii lor. Olga era \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103! Nu la \u00eenceput, ci deja \u00een s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na a 16-a. Petru a s\u0103rit de bucurie prin recep\u021bie ca un adolescent \u00eendr\u0103gostit. Aproape c\u0103 a d\u0103r\u00e2mat un stand de pliante, iar oamenii din jur se uitau mira\u021bi. Dar el nu mai avea ru\u0219ine de nimeni. Era cel mai fericit om de pe planet\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De atunci, totul s-a schimbat. Petru nu mai cump\u0103ra nimic f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 verifice etichetele. Numai bio, f\u0103r\u0103 E-uri, f\u0103r\u0103 coloran\u021bi. Iar Olga, de\u0219i trecut\u0103 de 40 de ani, era \u00een culmea fericirii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i cum bucuriile mari nu vin niciodat\u0103 singure, peste c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, la control, au mai primit o veste. Nu a\u0219teptau un copil\u2026 ci doi. Gemenii pe care \u00eei doriser\u0103 c\u00e2ndva de la orfelinat, aveau s\u0103 le vin\u0103 \u00een bra\u021be de la Dumnezeu. Sarcina nu a fost u\u0219oar\u0103. Olga a petrecut multe zile la pat, iar Petru a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 g\u0103teasc\u0103, s\u0103 spele, s\u0103 se ocupe de toate. Dar fiecare clip\u0103 grea a meritat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au venit pe lume dou\u0103 feti\u021be superbe. Le-au botezat Caterina \u0219i Ana, \u00een cinstea bunicilor. Crescuser\u0103 s\u0103n\u0103toase, vesele, luminoase. De\u0219i sem\u0103nau leit la chip, firea le era complet diferit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caterina era activ\u0103, nelini\u0219tit\u0103, pasionat\u0103 de \u00eenot de performan\u021b\u0103. Era mereu \u00een centrul aten\u021biei, iar b\u0103ie\u021bii roiau \u00een jurul ei. Pe Andrei \u00eel cunoscuse la un concurs. Calm, sincer \u0219i cu o privire bl\u00e2nd\u0103, o cucerise repede. Familia \u00eel pl\u0103cea, iar logodna lor fusese o adev\u0103rat\u0103 s\u0103rb\u0103toare \u00een sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana, \u00een schimb, era opusul. Iubea lini\u0219tea, c\u0103r\u021bile, plimb\u0103rile prin p\u0103dure. Nu avea mul\u021bi prieteni, dar era legat\u0103 profund de sora ei. \u00cen buc\u0103t\u0103rie f\u0103cea adev\u0103rate minuni din nimic. Mai mult, avea grij\u0103 de toate animalele r\u0103nite g\u0103site prin gr\u0103din\u0103 sau pe marginea drumului. C\u00e2ini, pisici, p\u0103s\u0103ri, chiar \u0219i un arici speriat. Cel mai bun prieten al ei era Grom, un ciob\u0103nesc imens primit cadou de ziua ei. C\u00e2ndva un pui pufos, acum un uria\u0219 bl\u00e2nd care o p\u0103zea peste tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De\u0219i rasa lui inspira for\u021b\u0103 \u0219i severitate, Grom era cel mai bl\u00e2nd suflet. Nu l\u0103tra agresiv, nu proteja teritoriul, dar o iubea pe Ana necondi\u021bionat. Andrei glumea adesea cu el:
\u2014 Nu e momentul acum, prost\u0103nacule! \u2014 r\u00e2dea el, iar c\u00e2inele d\u0103dea vesel din coad\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar \u00eentr-o zi\u2026 nimeni nu avea chef de glume. Caterina \u0219i Andrei depuseser\u0103 actele pentru cununie. Era ziua \u00een care trebuiau s\u0103 stabileasc\u0103 meniul la restaurant. Ana, priceput\u0103 \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, mergea cu ei. Andrei urcase deja \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103, c\u00e2nd Grom, calmul de obicei, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 mu\u0219te ro\u021bile, s\u0103 zg\u00e2rie caroseria, l\u0103tr\u00e2nd cu disperare. Petru a \u00eencercat s\u0103-l lini\u0219teasc\u0103, dar c\u00e2inele p\u0103rea posedat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 L-ai r\u0103sf\u0103\u021bat prea tare! \u2014 r\u00e2dea Caterina, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie c\u0103 era ultima ei glum\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana a sim\u021bit un fior, dar de dragul surorii, a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i a plecat. Grom a urlat lung, prelung, iar Petru a \u00eenghe\u021bat. Niciodat\u0103 nu-l v\u0103zuse a\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe drum era soare, vreme bun\u0103, asfalt uscat. Nimic nu prevestea nenorocirea. \u00centr-o curb\u0103, o basculant\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103rcat\u0103 cu bu\u0219teni a derapat. \u0218oferul, un b\u0103rbat \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103, n-a mai putut redresa mastodontul. Camionul s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it peste ma\u0219ina \u00een care erau Caterina, Andrei \u0219i Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A urmat iadul. Sirene, pompieri, ambulan\u021be, poli\u021bie. Caterina \u0219i Andrei au murit pe loc. Ana, grav r\u0103nit\u0103, a fost dus\u0103 de urgen\u021b\u0103 la spital. Intrase \u00een com\u0103 profund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petru nu a plecat din spital dou\u0103 zile. Se plimba ca un leu \u00een cu\u0219c\u0103 pe holul sec\u021biei de reanimare. \u00cen tot haosul, Grom lipsea. C\u00e2inele st\u0103tea nemi\u0219cat la poart\u0103, refuz\u00e2nd m\u00e2ncarea, url\u00e2nd \u00een somn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen ziua \u00eenmorm\u00e2nt\u0103rii, Petru s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103. C\u00e2nd a deschis poarta, Grom s-a repezit spre el, tr\u0103g\u00e2ndu-l cu disperare de hain\u0103 spre poart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce e, b\u0103iete? Ce vrei?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci a \u00een\u021beles. L-a urcat pe Grom \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i au mers la spital. Portarul a protestat, dar Petru l-a ignorat. \u00cen fa\u021ba salonului, Grom s-a a\u0219ezat, apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un urlet sf\u00e2\u0219ietor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O asistent\u0103 a ie\u0219it:
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu cum s\u0103 v\u0103 spun\u2026 fata\u2026 a deschis ochii o clip\u0103\u2026 a mi\u0219cat degetele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 intru?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 dar el\u2026 poate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doctorul a aprobat. Grom a intrat atent. S-a apropiat de pat, \u0219i-a pus botul pe m\u00e2na Anei \u0219i a gemut \u00eencet. Ana a deschis ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Grom\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petru a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Medicii nu-\u0219i explicau. Din ziua aceea, Ana a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se trezeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A durat luni p\u00e2n\u0103 s-a ref\u0103cut. Nu-\u0219i amintea accidentul, dar prima \u00eentrebare a fost:
\u2014 Ea\u2026 a fost mai bun\u0103 dec\u00e2t mine, nu-i a\u0219a?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petru i-a m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat p\u0103rul:
\u2014 Am\u00e2ndou\u0103 a\u021bi fost luminile noastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anii au trecut. Ana a r\u0103mas cu un gol \u00een suflet, dar \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i spunea \u00een g\u00e2nd: \u201eTr\u0103iesc pentru am\u00e2ndou\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar seara, c\u00e2nd stelele ap\u0103reau, se a\u0219eza l\u00e2ng\u0103 morm\u00e2ntul Caterinei, cu un buchet de margarete:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 m-ai l\u0103sat s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i Grom, loial, se \u00eentindea l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea\u2026 ca \u00eentotdeauna. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
