R\u00e2sul ei era slab, ca un fo\u0219net de frunze uscate. S-a sprijinit de biciclet\u0103 \u0219i a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Maic\u0103, voi tot nisipul \u00eel c\u0103uta\u021bi\u2026 dar n-a\u021bi v\u0103zut niciodat\u0103 bicicleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gr\u0103nicerul a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bicicleta? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, bicicleta, \u2014 a spus ea, m\u00e2ng\u00e2ind ghidonul str\u00e2mb. \u2014 Asta trecea grani\u021ba. Zi de zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nica a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cen anii aceia, bicicletele bune se vindeau pe bani grei dincolo. Eu le luam de aici, vechi, stricate, le reparam pu\u021bin \u0219i le treceam grani\u021ba. Acolo le vindeam. Cu banii cump\u0103ram altele, tot vechi, \u0219i o luam de la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i nisipul? \u2014 a \u0219optit el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nisipul era doar ca s\u0103 v\u0103 uita\u021bi unde trebuie. S\u0103 ave\u021bi ce controla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103. At\u00e2\u021bia ani. At\u00e2tea controale. At\u00e2tea rapoarte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 de ce? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat. \u2014 Pentru bani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nica a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru copii. Pentru nepo\u021bi. Pentru p\u00e2ine. So\u021bul meu a murit devreme, pensia era mic\u0103. Nimeni nu te \u00eentreab\u0103 cum tr\u0103ie\u0219ti, maic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A t\u0103cut, apoi a ad\u0103ugat \u00eencet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am f\u0103cut r\u0103u nim\u0103nui. Doar am mers pe biciclet\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gr\u0103nicerul s-a uitat la m\u00e2inile ei. Cr\u0103pate, sub\u021biri, tremur\u00e2nde. M\u00e2ini care munciser\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce-i cel mai greu? \u2014 a spus ea. \u2014 C\u0103 \u00een to\u021bi anii \u0103ia, nimeni nu m-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 mi-e greu. Doar ce e \u00een sac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-ne, mam\u0103ie, \u2014 a spus, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama c\u0103 o spune cu voce tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu e nimic de iertat. Fiecare \u00ee\u0219i face treaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au stat pu\u021bin, \u00een t\u0103cere. Apoi ea \u0219i-a luat bicicleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 ai grij\u0103 de tine, maic\u0103, \u2014 i-a spus. \u2014 \u0218i s\u0103 nu mai cau\u021bi nisipul c\u00e2nd adev\u0103rul e sub ochii t\u0103i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A plecat \u00eencet, cu pa\u0219i mici, pierz\u00e2ndu-se printre oameni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gr\u0103nicerul a r\u0103mas pe loc mult timp. Pentru prima dat\u0103, dup\u0103 zeci de ani, a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu tot ce e important se g\u0103se\u0219te \u00een saci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori, adev\u0103rul merge pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine, pe o biciclet\u0103 veche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
