Andrei a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi. Ochii lui mari \u0219i obosi\u021bi se plimbau \u00eentre chipul femeii \u0219i farfuriile pline de pe mas\u0103. Micul lui frate i se ag\u0103\u021ba de hain\u0103, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu\u2026 mama mea a murit,\u201d a murmurat el, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un pas spre ie\u0219ire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a sim\u021bit cum i se taie respira\u021bia. A vrut s\u0103-l strige, dar cuvintele nu-i mai ie\u0219eau. \u00cen jur, lumea privea \u00een t\u0103cere, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAndrei!\u201d a izbucnit \u00een cele din urm\u0103, iar vocea i s-a spart. \u201eA fost un accident\u2026 tu ai disp\u0103rut, dar eu am \u0219tiut c\u0103 e\u0219ti undeva, viu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103iatul s-a oprit. M\u00e2na lu<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDac\u0103 e\u0219ti mama mea\u2026 de ce nu ai venit dup\u0103 mine?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria s-a apropiat tremur\u00e2nd, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai \u021bin\u0103 cont de privirile oamenilor. \u201eTe-am c\u0103utat peste tot. Am pus anun\u021buri, am vorbit cu poli\u021bia, am mers din spital \u00een spital. Mi-au spus c\u0103 n-au g\u0103sit niciun copil cu numele t\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei cl\u0103tin\u0103 din cap. \u201eNe-a luat un b\u0103rbat\u2026 ne-a pus s\u0103 muncim pentru el. Am fugit acum dou\u0103 luni.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it \u00een genunchi. Lacrimile i-au curs peste machiajul perfect. \u201eIart\u0103-m\u0103, te rog. Nu ai idee c\u00e2t de mult mi-a lipsit s\u0103-\u021bi aud glasul\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chelnerul, ru\u0219inat, a adus \u00een t\u0103cere dou\u0103 farfurii pline. Andrei s-a uitat la ele ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor, apoi la Maria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePo\u021bi s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci, puiule. Totul e pentru voi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Micul frate a \u00eentins m\u00e2na \u0219i a luat o bucat\u0103 de p\u00e2ine, privind-o cu ochi mari. \u201eMul\u021bumesc, doamn\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSpune-mi mam\u0103,\u201d a \u0219optit Maria, cu un z\u00e2mbet amar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2teva minute, \u00een restaurant nu s-a mai auzit nimic altceva dec\u00e2t clinchetul u\u0219or al tac\u00e2murilor. Lumea se uita, dar nimeni nu mai judeca. Oamenii \u00een\u021beleseser\u0103 c\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba lor nu era doar o femeie bogat\u0103 \u0219i doi copii fl\u0103m\u00e2nzi, ci o familie care se reg\u0103sea dup\u0103 ani de durere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ce au m\u00e2ncat, Maria s-a ridicat \u0219i le-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na. \u201eVeni\u021bi cu mine acas\u0103. Nu mai trebuie s\u0103 suferi\u021bi niciodat\u0103. Am o camer\u0103 cald\u0103, haine curate\u2026 \u0219i o inim\u0103 care v-a a\u0219teptat tot acest timp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a privit spre fratele lui, apoi spre femeia care pl\u00e2ngea \u00een fa\u021ba lor. O parte din el voia s\u0103 fug\u0103, cealalt\u0103 s\u0103 cread\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDac\u0103 plec\u0103m \u0219i nu ne mai \u00eentorcem?\u201d a \u00eentrebat el cu o voce fr\u00e2nt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAtunci, jur c\u0103 v\u0103 caut din nou, p\u00e2n\u0103 v\u0103 g\u0103sesc,\u201d a spus Maria, \u0219terg\u00e2ndu-\u0219i lacrimile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103iatul a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul. \u0218i, \u00een cele din urm\u0103, s-a aruncat \u00een bra\u021bele ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria l-a str\u00e2ns la piept, tremur\u00e2nd. Micul frate i-a urmat exemplul \u0219i s-a lipit de am\u00e2ndoi. \u00cen jur, oamenii aplaudau \u00een t\u0103cere, unii cu ochii umezi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afar\u0103, ploaia \u00eencepea s\u0103 cad\u0103 u\u0219or, sp\u0103l\u00e2nd praful de pe str\u0103zi. Maria a ie\u0219it \u021bin\u00e2ndu-i de m\u00e2n\u0103, sim\u021bind c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u0219i-a g\u0103sit din nou locul \u00een lume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori, Dumnezeu nu r\u0103spunde imediat. Dar c\u00e2nd o face, o face \u00een cel mai nea\u0219teptat loc \u2014 chiar acolo unde inima noastr\u0103 nu mai spera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
