Ioana f\u0103cu un pas \u00eenainte, cu inima \u021bip\u00e2nd \u00een piept. \u00cen fa\u021ba ei, pe veranda acoperit\u0103 de vie, st\u0103teau la o mas\u0103 doi b\u0103rba\u021bi \u00eembr\u0103ca\u021bi \u00een salopete albastre, cu acte \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate peste tot \u0219i cu o geant\u0103 mare de bani deschis\u0103 \u00eentre ei. Al treilea se ridic\u0103 brusc, speriat c\u0103 a fost surprins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana sim\u021bi cum o ia cu le\u0219inul. Pentru o clip\u0103, i se p\u0103ru c\u0103 nu mai poate nici vorbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n B\u0103rbatul mai \u00eendr\u0103zne\u021b dintre cei doi o privi de sus p\u00e2n\u0103 jos, apoi \u00eencerc\u0103 un z\u00e2mbet for\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201eNu v\u0103 speria\u021bi, doamn\u0103\u2026 discut\u0103m doar o treab\u0103\u2026 de familie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ioana f\u0103cu un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cei trei schimbau priviri rapide, nelini\u0219tite. Niciunul nu r\u0103spundea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Un fior de panic\u0103 o str\u0103b\u0103tu din cap p\u00e2n\u0103-n picioare. \u00cencerc\u0103 s\u0103 par\u0103 sigur\u0103 pe ea, dar vocea i se fr\u00e2nse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Dac\u0103 nu-mi spune\u021bi acum unde e, chem poli\u021bia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen secunda aceea, Viorica Petrescu \u2014 vecina \u2014 ap\u0103ru \u00een spatele ei, tr\u0103g\u00e2nd-o u\u0219or de bra\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Ioano, nu te speria\u2026 Stai pu\u021bin, s\u0103-\u021bi explic.

Unde e mama Stancu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Viorica oft\u0103 ad\u00e2nc, \u00ee\u0219i frec\u0103 palmele, apoi zise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 E \u00een spatele casei.

Ocoli masa cu b\u0103rba\u021bii \u0219i se gr\u0103bi spre gr\u0103dina din spate. C\u00e2nd ajunse \u00een fundul cur\u021bii, v\u0103zu o scen\u0103 care \u00eei t\u0103ie picioarele: \u2014 Doamne, Ioano, ai ajuns! exclam\u0103 femeia, de parc\u0103 totul era normal. Am zis s\u0103 fac \u0219i eu o buc\u0103t\u0103rie de var\u0103, s\u0103 nu m\u0103 mai coc \u00een cas\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ioana r\u0103mase cu gura c\u0103scat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 \u0218i \u0103ia\u2026 de pe verand\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Constructorii! \u0218i unul e veri\u0219or cu Viorica.

Totu\u0219i, pe mas\u0103, \u00een curte, Ioana observ\u0103 un teanc de h\u00e2rtii. Se apropie \u0219i ridic\u0103 o foaie. \u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 ce-i asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Contractul. Pentru materiale. \u0218i o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie de 12.000 de lei. Dar nu-\u021bi face griji, m\u0103 descurc eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ioana sim\u021bi cum o \u00een\u021beap\u0103 stomacul. \u2014 Ei, nu e treaba lui tot ce fac eu! spuse soacra, ridic\u00e2nd din umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen clipa aceea, Ioana \u00een\u021belese tot: femeia se b\u0103gase \u00eentr-o lucrare prea mare, cu bani pe care nu-i avea \u0219i cu me\u0219teri care deja \u00eei cereau restan\u021be. Se l\u0103s\u0103 pe un scaun, sim\u021bind cum hot\u0103r\u00e2rea \u00eei cre\u0219te \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Mam\u0103, de data asta nu mai merge cu \u201elas\u0103 c\u0103 rezolv eu\u201d. O s\u0103 ne trezim cu executorii la poart\u0103. De ce n-ai zis ceva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soacra oft\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat \u00eenvins\u0103. Ioana \u00ee\u0219i trecu m\u00e2na pe frunte. Soacra o privi lung, cu ochii umezi. \u2014 Nu sunt bun\u0103. Sunt practic\u0103. \u0218i mi-e drag de tine, oric\u00e2t te-ai preface c\u0103 po\u021bi singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen c\u00e2teva minute, Ioana prelu\u0103 controlul situa\u021biei.

C\u00e2nd plecar\u0103 spre gar\u0103, soarele deja cobora peste sat. Iar undeva, \u00een t\u0103cerea serii, sim\u021bi o m\u00e2ndrie pe care nu o mai sim\u021bise demult: \u0218i uneori, chiar trebuia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aceast\u0103 lucrare este inspirat\u0103 din evenimente \u0219i persoane reale, \u00eens\u0103 a fost fic\u021bionalizat\u0103 \u00een scopuri creative.

Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce se apropia, auzea voci. R\u00e2sete chiar. Asta o dezorient\u0103 complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
soacra ei, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 \u00eentr-o rochie \u00eenflorat\u0103, st\u0103tea pe un scaun pliant, cu o cea\u0219c\u0103 de cafea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, iar \u00een jurul ei c\u00e2\u021biva oameni munceau de zor la ridicarea unei mici anexe din lemn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
