Patronul s-a apropiat, privind b\u0103rbatul mai atent. Un fior i-a trecut prin spate, ca o amintire care abia prindea contur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eE\u0219ti tu\u2026 Ion?\u201d a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet, aproape ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toat\u0103 lumea a \u00eencremenit. Tat\u0103l a ridicat privirea, uimit. \u201eDa\u2026 dar de unde m\u0103 cunoa\u0219te\u021bi?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un z\u00e2mbet i-a luminat fa\u021ba patronului. \u201eFrate, tu mi-ai salvat via\u021ba acum zece ani.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magazinul a amu\u021bit complet. Nimeni nu mai r\u00e2dea. V\u00e2nz\u0103toarele \u0219i-au cobor\u00e2t privirile, ru\u0219inate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u021ai-ai pierdut casa atunci, \u021bin minte. Ai intrat \u00een foc ca s\u0103 sco\u021bi un om prins \u00een\u0103untru. Eu eram omul \u0103la,\u201d a spus patronul, cu voce tremurat\u0103. \u201e\u0218i azi\u2026 Dumnezeu mi te-a adus \u00eenapoi aici.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ion a clipit, ne\u0219tiind ce s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103. Feti\u021ba s-a uitat la el curioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patronul s-a \u00eentors c\u0103tre angaja\u021bi. \u201eCum a\u021bi \u00eendr\u0103znit s\u0103 r\u00e2de\u021bi de el? Omul \u0103sta are mai mult\u0103 demnitate dec\u00e2t tot luxul din magazinul \u0103sta!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u00e2nz\u0103toarele au amu\u021bit, ro\u0219ii la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi patronul s-a \u00eentors din nou c\u0103tre Ion \u0219i feti\u021ba lui. \u201eAzi, tot ce \u00ee\u0219i dore\u0219te feti\u021ba ta e din partea mea. F\u0103r\u0103 discu\u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ochii lui Ion s-au umplut de lacrimi. \u201eNu trebuie, domnule\u2026 Eu doar voiam ceva mic, o amintire pentru ziua ei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu, Ion. E timpul ca via\u021ba s\u0103-\u021bi dea \u00eenapoi,\u201d a spus patronul, ridic\u00e2nd u\u0219or m\u00e2na spre v\u00e2nz\u0103toare. \u201eDu-te \u0219i alege-i ce rochi\u021b\u0103 vrea. Sau o juc\u0103rie, sau am\u00e2ndou\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feti\u021ba a clipit emo\u021bionat\u0103. \u201ePot\u2026 pot alege ce vreau, tati?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ion a z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi. \u201eDa, iubita mea. Po\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au mers \u00eempreun\u0103 printre rafturi. Cei care \u00eenainte \u00eei priveau cu dispre\u021b acum se d\u0103deau din cale. C\u00e2nd feti\u021ba a ales o rochi\u021b\u0103 roz, simpl\u0103, Ion a \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 c\u0103 e prea mult, dar patronul a f\u0103cut un semn hot\u0103r\u00e2t: \u201eE darul meu pentru am\u00e2ndoi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La cas\u0103, patronul a pus m\u00e2na pe umerii lui Ion. \u201eVreau s\u0103 lucrezi cu mine. Avem nevoie de oameni ca tine, nu doar de costume scumpe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ion a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd au ie\u0219it din magazin, v\u00e2ntul rece nu mai p\u0103rea la fel de t\u0103ios. Feti\u021ba se \u00eenv\u00e2rtea fericit\u0103 \u00een rochi\u021ba nou\u0103, iar tat\u0103l o privea cu o lumin\u0103 \u00een ochi pe care n-o mai avusese de mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVezi, tati?\u201d a spus ea, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd. \u201e\u021ai-am zis eu c\u0103 e ziua mea norocoas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ion a str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be. \u201eDa, iubita mea. E cea mai frumoas\u0103 zi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De sus, din spatele vitrinei, patronul \u00eei urm\u0103rea cu un z\u00e2mbet cald. Uneori, via\u021ba nu r\u0103spl\u0103te\u0219te repede, dar \u00eentotdeauna g\u0103se\u0219te un moment potrivit s\u0103-\u021bi aminteasc\u0103 c\u0103 bun\u0103tatea nu se uit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
