Gherman a p\u0103\u0219it \u00een sufragerie cu pas rar, calculat, iar podeaua a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it sub greutatea lui, de parc\u0103 \u0219i ea \u00eel recuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura s-a ridicat brusc, iar Andrei a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, surprins de prezen\u021ba impun\u0103toare a b\u0103rbatului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBun\u0103 seara\u201d, a spus Gherman, scurt, dar suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 umple \u00eenc\u0103perea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nimeni nu i-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu m-am ridicat \u00eencet, sim\u021bind cum lini\u0219tea se rupe \u00een dou\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAi venit\u201d, i-am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u021ai-am promis c\u00e2ndva c\u0103, dac\u0103 vei avea nevoie, vin. Unii oameni nu uit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirea lui s-a oprit asupra Laurei. \u201eNici datorii, nici prietenii.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu-l cuno\u0219tea, dar numele lui \u00eel auzise \u00een pove\u0219tile mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218tia c\u0103 nu era un om oarecare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTat\u0103\u2026 cine e?\u201d
Vocea ei tremura pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een seara aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eUn prieten\u201d, am spus simplu. \u201eUn prieten adev\u0103rat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 st\u0103p\u00e2n pe sine.
\u201e\u0218i\u2026 ce treab\u0103 are domnul \u0103sta aici?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gherman s-a apropiat de mas\u0103.
A luat lingura c\u0103zut\u0103, a pus-o la loc \u0219i a privit lung casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAre treab\u0103 cu demnitatea\u201d, a spus. \u201eCu lucrurile pe care voi doi a\u021bi uitat s\u0103 le respecta\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuvintele lui au c\u0103zut grele, ca ni\u0219te pietre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00een piept mi se ridic\u0103 un nod \u2013 nu de furie, ci de recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103.
Nu m\u0103 ap\u0103rasem niciodat\u0103 singur.
Mereu alesesem pacea, t\u0103cerea, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 iubirea de p\u0103rinte repar\u0103 orice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar uneori, t\u0103cerea doare mai tare dec\u00e2t cuvintele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVictor pleac\u0103 cu mine ast\u0103zi\u201d, a continuat Gherman. \u201e\u0218i nu va mai duce grija voastr\u0103 niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura a clipit des, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 tare.
\u201ePleac\u0103 unde? La tine?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu conteaz\u0103 unde\u201d, a spus el. \u201eConteaz\u0103 c\u0103 nu \u00een cote\u021bul c\u00e2inelui.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obrajii ei s-au \u00eenro\u0219it.
Andrei a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, dar privirea lui Gherman l-a oprit ca un zid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVictor\u201d, a spus prietenul meu, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se c\u0103tre mine, \u201emergi \u0219i ia ce ai nevoie. Dup\u0103 aceea, termin\u0103m treaba.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCe treab\u0103?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat Andrei, dar \u00een voce i se sim\u021bea teama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gherman a deschis servieta.
A scos un dosar gros, prins cu o clam\u0103 metalic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eActele casei\u201d, a spus simplu.
\u201eVictor mi le-a dat acum dou\u0103zeci de ani. Atunci i-am spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 cineva \u00eel va face s\u0103 plece de aici cu capul plecat, o s\u0103 m\u0103 ocup eu. \u0218i uite c\u0103 a venit ziua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe scaun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu po\u021bi\u2026 tat\u0103, tu ai spus c\u0103 casa e a noastr\u0103!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eA voastr\u0103 c\u00e2t timp era\u021bi o familie\u201d, am r\u0103spuns, sim\u021bind cum cuvintele \u00eemi ard \u00een piept. \u201eO familie nu-\u0219i arunc\u0103 p\u0103rintele la azil pentru\u2026 spa\u021biu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00een mine se rupe ceva ce \u021binuse ani la r\u00e2nd.
Nu mai era durere.
Era eliberare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eEu nu vreau nimic de la voi\u201d, am continuat. \u201eNici bani, nici mul\u021bumiri. Vreau doar s\u0103 \u0219tiu c\u0103 oamenii pe care i-am crescut au \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat m\u0103car ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 respectul. Dar se pare c\u0103 via\u021ba \u00eenc\u0103 nu v-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat lec\u021bia asta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei \u00eencerca s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, dar nu-\u0219i g\u0103sea cuvintele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gherman a \u00eenchis dosarul \u0219i mi l-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eHai, Victor. Ajunge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat o ultim\u0103 dat\u0103 la casa ridicat\u0103 din salariul meu de muncitor, la masa unde odinioar\u0103 ne str\u00e2ngeam to\u021bi trei \u0219i r\u00e2deam f\u0103r\u0103 grij\u0103, la copilul meu care acum st\u0103tea cu capul \u00een palme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSper\u201d, i-am spus, \u201ec\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi n-o s\u0103 ajunge\u021bi \u0219i voi \u00een pragul acela \u00een care s\u0103 v\u0103 dea cineva afar\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 atunci o s\u0103 v\u0103 aduce\u021bi aminte de seara asta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi am ie\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aerul rece m-a lovit \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, dar \u00een piept mi-era cald.
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani \u00eentregi, sim\u021beam c\u0103 respir cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gherman mi-a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAi \u00eent\u00e2rziat, prietene\u201d, a spus el. \u201eDar ai f\u0103cut ce trebuia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am p\u0103\u0219it spre ma\u0219in\u0103, l\u0103s\u00e2nd \u00een urm\u0103 u\u0219a care \u00eenc\u0103 se leg\u0103na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unele plec\u0103ri nu sunt sf\u00e2r\u0219ituri.
Sunt \u00eenceputuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar \u00een seara aceea, la 7 \u0219i jum\u0103tate fix, am ales s\u0103 \u00eencep din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
