C\u00e2nd a terminat de m\u00e2ncat, b\u0103iatul a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat, cu fruntea lipit\u0103 de gard. Respira mai lini\u0219tit acum. De parc\u0103 lumea nu-l mai durea chiar at\u00e2t de tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? \u2014 l-a \u00eentrebat Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Andrei \u2014 a spus el \u00eencet. \u2014 Mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era pentru prima oar\u0103 c\u00e2nd z\u00e2mbea. Un z\u00e2mbet mic, str\u00e2mb, dar adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, Andrei a ap\u0103rut din nou. \u0218i iar. St\u0103tea mereu dincolo de gard, \u00een acela\u0219i loc. Victoria \u00eei aducea ce putea: jum\u0103tate de sandvi\u0219, un covrig, uneori doar un m\u0103r. Niciodat\u0103 nu se pl\u00e2ngea. Niciodat\u0103 nu cerea mai mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei locuia \u00eentr-o garsonier\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103sit\u0103 cu mama lui, care era bolnav\u0103 \u0219i nu putea munci. Uneori nu aveau curent. Alteori, nici m\u00e2ncare. Victoria \u00eei povestea despre bunica ei, despre visele ei simple \u2014 s\u0103 fie \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103toare, s\u0103 aib\u0103 o cas\u0103 lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o zi, \u00eenainte de vacan\u021ba de iarn\u0103, Andrei a spus brusc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd o s\u0103 fiu mare \u0219i bogat, o s\u0103 te iau de nevast\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victoria a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 m-ai hr\u0103nit c\u00e2nd nu aveam nimic \u2014 a spus el serios. \u2014 \u0218i n-o s\u0103 uit asta niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 acea iarn\u0103, Andrei n-a mai venit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zilele au trecut. Apoi anii. Victoria a crescut. A terminat \u0219coala, liceul, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 munceasc\u0103 \u00eentr-un magazin. Bunica a murit. Via\u021ba a mers \u00eenainte, cu bune \u0219i rele, cu lipsuri \u0219i speran\u021be mici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a devenit o amintire din copil\u0103rie. Una frumoas\u0103, dar \u00eendep\u0103rtat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victoria ie\u0219ea din tur\u0103, obosit\u0103, c\u00e2nd un b\u0103rbat bine \u00eembr\u0103cat s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba magazinului. Costum simplu, curat. Privire cald\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Victoria Ionescu? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul a z\u00e2mbit. Acel z\u00e2mbet str\u00e2mb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu sunt Andrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inima i-a s\u0103rit din piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei \u00eei povesti totul. Cum fusese luat de Protec\u021bia Copilului. Cum mama lui murise. Cum muncise din greu, \u0219coal\u0103, facultate, nop\u021bi f\u0103r\u0103 somn. Cum ajunsese s\u0103-\u0219i deschid\u0103 propria firm\u0103. Nu era milionar, dar avea stabilitate. Demnitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am uitat niciodat\u0103 sandvi\u0219ul \u0103la \u2014 spuse el. \u2014 Nici promisiunea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victoria a sim\u021bit cum i se umezesc ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au mers la o cafea. Apoi la alta. Apoi la plimb\u0103ri lungi, vorbind despre trecut \u0219i prezent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un an mai t\u00e2rziu, Andrei a \u00eengenuncheat \u00een fa\u021ba ei, \u00eentr-un parc simplu, cu o cutiu\u021b\u0103 modest\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu sunt bogat \u2014 a spus el. \u2014 Dar sunt omul care n-a uitat. \u0218i vreau s\u0103 fiu al t\u0103u, dac\u0103 m\u0103 vrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victoria a z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Te vreau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i atunci a \u00een\u021beles ceva ce bunica ei \u0219tia de mult: uneori, un gest mic hr\u0103ne\u0219te nu doar un stomac, ci un destin \u00eentreg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
