Valentina a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde pe g\u00e2nduri, privindu-i chipul micu\u021bei. Obrajii ei erau ro\u0219ii, iar hainele p\u0103reau prea mari, ca \u0219i cum nimeni nu mai avusese grij\u0103 s\u0103-i cumpere ceva potrivit de mult\u0103 vreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 mergem \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, bine? Poate g\u0103sim ceva bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melissa a ezitat, dar c\u00e2nd Valentina i-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na, feti\u021ba i-a prins degetele cu o ne\u00eencredere timid\u0103. Cobor\u00e2r\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 sc\u0103rile, \u00een timp ce casa uria\u0219\u0103 p\u0103rea pustie, rece \u0219i plin\u0103 de ecouri. \u00cen buc\u0103t\u0103rie, Valentina a g\u0103sit un frigider plin, dar copilul s-a uitat la el ca \u0219i cum n-ar fi avut voie s\u0103-l ating\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 iau ceva? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat ea \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sigur c\u0103 po\u021bi, puiule. Aici nu trebuie s\u0103 ceri voie s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina i-a f\u0103cut un sandvi\u0219 \u0219i a turnat un pahar cu lapte. Melissa a \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce \u00eencet, \u021bin\u00e2nd privirea \u00een jos, de parc\u0103 se temea s\u0103 nu fie certat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l t\u0103u nu e acas\u0103, a\u0219a-i? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat Valentina cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 el lucreaz\u0103\u2026 tot timpul pleac\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copila a oftat ad\u00e2nc, iar Valentina a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. \u0218tia prea bine cum e s\u0103 cre\u0219ti f\u0103r\u0103 cineva care s\u0103 te apere. Crescuse \u0219i ea \u00eentr-un orfelinat, unde un cuv\u00e2nt bl\u00e2nd era o raritate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i mama ta?
\u2014 Mama a murit\u2026 Eu eram mic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lini\u0219tea care a urmat a fost ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Valentina s-a apropiat \u0219i i-a \u0219ters o lacrim\u0103.
\u2014 Acum e\u0219ti \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103, bine? Promit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din clipa aceea, ceva s-a schimbat \u00eentre ele. \u00cen fiecare zi, Valentina \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea treaba prin cas\u0103, dar avea mereu un ochi la feti\u021b\u0103. O ajuta la teme, o \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba c\u00e2ntece, \u00eei punea m\u00e2ncare cald\u0103. C\u00e2nd Fabiana se \u00eentorcea acas\u0103, totul se schimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama vitreg\u0103 ridica tonul pentru orice, o pedepsea pe Melissa pentru lucruri m\u0103runte, iar Valentina, de\u0219i \u00eencerca s\u0103 nu intervin\u0103, uneori nu mai suporta. \u00centr-o sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd milionara a venit mai devreme dec\u00e2t de obicei, a g\u0103sit buc\u0103t\u0103ria plin\u0103 de miros de pl\u0103cint\u0103 \u0219i r\u00e2sete. Melissa amesteca compozi\u021bia cu un tel mic, iar Valentina \u00eei c\u00e2nta \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta?! \u2014 a strigat Fabiana, tr\u00e2ntind po\u0219eta pe mas\u0103. \u2014 \u021ai-am spus clar c\u0103 nu vreau murd\u0103rie \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melissa s-a ascuns imediat \u00een spatele Valentinei.
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, nu e nicio murd\u0103rie, doar\u2026
\u2014 Nu te b\u0103ga! \u2014 a t\u0103iat-o scurt Fabiana. \u2014 Fata asta are nevoie de disciplin\u0103, nu de pove\u0219ti \u0219i pr\u0103jituri!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina a sim\u021bit cum \u00eei clocote\u0219te s\u00e2ngele.
\u2014 Are nevoie de iubire, doamn\u0103, nu de fric\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuvintele au at\u00e2rnat \u00een aer, grele, interzise. Fabiana a \u00eencremenit pentru o clip\u0103, apoi a ridicat m\u00e2na, dar Valentina i-a prins \u00eencheietura la timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mai face\u021bi asta, v\u0103 rog. E doar un copil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabiana s-a retras furioas\u0103, a ie\u0219it din buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i s-a \u00eencuiat \u00een dormitor, tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a. Valentina a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103, cu feti\u021ba str\u00e2ns lipit\u0103 de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, diminea\u021ba, o ma\u0219in\u0103 luxoas\u0103 a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba vilei. Din ea a cobor\u00e2t un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum, cu aer gr\u0103bit \u0219i ochii obosi\u021bi \u2014 domnul Radu, tat\u0103l Melissei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carmen l-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat la u\u0219\u0103, dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, Valentina a ap\u0103rut cu feti\u021ba de m\u00e2n\u0103. Melissa a fugit spre el, dar s-a oprit brusc c\u00e2nd Fabiana a cobor\u00e2t sc\u0103rile, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se z\u00e2mbitoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Drag\u0103, ce surpriz\u0103! \u2014 a spus ea, apropiindu-se. \u2014 Am avut ni\u0219te probleme cu ea, dar\u2026 totul e sub control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s-a aplecat spre fiica lui, observ\u00e2nd v\u00e2n\u0103t\u0103ile fine de pe bra\u021be.
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat aici?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabiana s-a b\u00e2lb\u00e2it, invent\u00e2nd o poveste despre o c\u0103dere pe sc\u0103ri, dar Valentina nu a mai rezistat.
\u2014 Nu s-a \u00eempiedicat, domnule. A fost pedepsit\u0103. Copila nu a f\u0103cut nimic gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen camer\u0103 s-a l\u0103sat o t\u0103cere grea. Fabiana a \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103, dar Radu \u0219i-a \u00eentors privirea spre Valentina, apoi spre fiica lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E adev\u0103rat? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el \u00eencet.
Melissa a dat din cap, cu ochii plini de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul s-a ridicat, \u00eenm\u0103rmurit.
\u2014 Ie\u0219i din casa mea, Fabiana. Acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia a r\u0103mas blocat\u0103, dar tonul lui nu l\u0103sa loc de discu\u021bie. \u00cen c\u00e2teva minute, a plecat, tr\u00e2ntind u\u0219a dup\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd lini\u0219tea s-a a\u0219ternut, Radu s-a \u00eentors spre Valentina.
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 ai avut grij\u0103 de ea. Nu \u0219tiu ce m-a\u0219 fi f\u0103cut f\u0103r\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or \u0219i a privit spre Melissa, care o \u021binea de m\u00e2n\u0103 str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nici nu trebuie s\u0103-mi mul\u021bumi\u021bi, domnule. Uneori, un copil are nevoie doar de cineva care s\u0103-l asculte\u2026 \u0219i s\u0103-l iubeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din acea zi, via\u021ba din vil\u0103 s-a schimbat. Pl\u00e2nsul s-a transformat \u00een r\u00e2sete, iar \u00een locul fricii, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, a venit lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
