Maria a r\u0103mas o clip\u0103 pe loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218tia foarte bine ce urma s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu avem camere, a r\u0103spuns simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E doar un restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul cu ceasul scump a oftat iritat. Al\u021bii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 \u00eentre ei, scurt, t\u0103ios, ca \u00eentr-o sal\u0103 de \u0219edin\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Afar\u0103 sunt minus dou\u0103zeci de grade, a spus Alexandru, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un pas spre ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu putem pleca nic\u0103ieri. Drumurile sunt \u00eenchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria s-a uitat instinctiv spre m\u0103tu\u0219a Ana. Femeia mai \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 le privea scena din u\u0219a buc\u0103t\u0103riei, cu m\u00e2inile str\u00e2nse pe \u0219or\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Avem sala din spate, a spus Maria \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu e cine \u0219tie ce\u2026 ni\u0219te mese, c\u00e2teva b\u0103nci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ne descurc\u0103m, a spus unul dintre ei imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pl\u0103tim c\u00e2t trebuie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banii erau o problem\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar oamenii din fa\u021ba ei erau\u2026 oameni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ne\u021bi, r\u0103m\u00e2ne\u021bi pe riscul vostru, a spus ea.
Avem sup\u0103 cald\u0103, ceai, p\u0103turi vechi. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fost lini\u0219te pentru o secund\u0103.
Apoi Alexandru a \u00eenclinat capul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Accept\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noaptea aceea a fost una cum Maria nu mai tr\u0103ise.
B\u0103rba\u021bi obi\u0219nui\u021bi cu hoteluri de cinci stele dormeau pe b\u0103nci, \u00een paltoane scumpe, m\u00e2nc\u00e2nd ciorb\u0103 de legume din farfurii ciobite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul dintre ei a ajutat-o pe m\u0103tu\u0219a Ana s\u0103 aduc\u0103 lemne.
Altul a sp\u0103lat vasele f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fie rugat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe la trei diminea\u021ba, viscolul \u00eenc\u0103 b\u0103tea, dar \u00een restaurant era cald.
\u0218i lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diminea\u021ba a venit cu un cer senin \u0219i o lumin\u0103 crud\u0103 de iarn\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria a deschis u\u0219a restaurantului \u0219i a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curtea era plin\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219ini negre, lucioase. SUV-uri, limuzine, jeepuri.
Una l\u00e2ng\u0103 alta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
135 de ma\u0219ini de lux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vecinii ie\u0219iser\u0103 deja pe la por\u021bi.
Unii \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103ceau cruce.
Al\u021bii scoteau telefoanele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexandru a ie\u0219it \u00een urma ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Prietenii no\u0219tri, a spus calm.
Am dat c\u00e2teva telefoane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria s-a \u00eentors spre el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie ce s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t v\u0103 datorez? a \u00eentrebat ea, \u00een cele din urm\u0103, cu jum\u0103tate de glum\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexandru a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103 sincer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nimic.
Dar accepta\u021bi asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-a \u00eentins un plic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era un cec.
Suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 pl\u0103teasc\u0103 spitalul mamei ei.
Suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 renoveze restaurantul.
Suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 nu mai tremure de fric\u0103 \u00een fiecare lun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u021bi f\u0103cut ce era omenesc, a spus el.
Noi doar r\u0103spundem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ce ma\u0219inile au plecat, satul a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLa M\u0103tu\u0219a Ana\u201d n-a mai fost niciodat\u0103 la fel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Maria a r\u0103mas aceea\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu m\u00e2inile muncite.
Cu inima deschis\u0103.
\u0218i cu convingerea c\u0103, uneori, o ciorb\u0103 cald\u0103 \u0219i un gest simplu pot schimba vie\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
