Feti\u021ba o lu\u0103 \u00eenainte, vorbind \u00eentruna. \u00cen cinci minute, Alexei \u0219tia tot. \u0218tia c\u0103 ea \u00eei spusese mamei s\u0103 nu bea ap\u0103 rece pe c\u0103ldur\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103, din p\u0103cate, mama se \u00eemboln\u0103vise. Liza venise la morm\u00e2ntul bunicii, care murise cu un an \u00een urm\u0103. Bunica ar fi certat-o pe mam\u0103 \u0219i atunci aceasta nu s-ar fi \u00eemboln\u0103vit. Liza \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba deja de un an \u0219i visa s\u0103 termine \u0219coala cu medalie de aur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei sim\u021bea cum i se u\u0219ura sufletul. C\u00e2t de sinceri sunt copiii! Acum \u00een\u021belegea c\u0103 ar fi fost fericit dac\u0103 ar fi avut o so\u021bie obi\u0219nuit\u0103, iubitoare, \u0219i un copil. Cineva care s\u0103-l a\u0219tepte acas\u0103 dup\u0103 munc\u0103. Irina lui era ca o p\u0103pu\u0219\u0103 scump\u0103 \u0219i nici nu voia s\u0103 aud\u0103 de copii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spunea c\u0103 doar o proast\u0103 ar renun\u021ba la frumuse\u021be pentru un pui de om url\u0103tor. Fuseser\u0103 c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi cinci ani. \u0218i acum Alexei realiza \u2013 nu avea nici m\u0103car o amintire cald\u0103 din c\u0103snicia lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pus g\u0103leata \u00een interiorul gardului, iar Liza a \u00eenceput s\u0103 ude cu grij\u0103 florile. Alexei a privit monumentul \u0219i a \u00eencremenit. \u00cen fotografie era vecina cu care convenise s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 de cas\u0103. Mama Katii. \u0218i-a mutat privirea c\u0103tre feti\u021b\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Galina Petrovna era bunica ta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da. O cuno\u0219tea\u021bi? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 feti\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De fapt, de ce \u00eentreb? Doar v-am v\u0103zut la morm\u00e2ntul bunicii Galei. Eu \u0219i mama \u00eentotdeauna facem curat acolo \u0219i aducem flori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu \u0219i mama ta? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Alexei, confuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, cu mama. \u021ai-am spus, mama nu-mi permite s\u0103 merg singur\u0103 la cimitir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feti\u021ba lu\u0103 g\u0103leata, se uit\u0103 \u00een jur \u0219i spuse: \u2014 Gata, trebuie s\u0103 fug, altfel mama o s\u0103 se \u00eengrijoreze \u0219i o s\u0103-mi pun\u0103 multe \u00eentreb\u0103ri, iar eu nu \u0219tiu s\u0103 mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u0219teapt\u0103, te duc eu cu ma\u0219ina, zise Alexei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liza cl\u0103tin\u0103 din cap: \u2014 Mama mi-a spus s\u0103 nu m\u0103 urc \u00een ma\u0219ina oamenilor necunoscu\u021bi. \u0218i nu vreau s\u0103 o sup\u0103r, c\u0103 e bolnav\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liza \u00ee\u0219i lu\u0103 r\u0103mas bun repede \u0219i fugi. Alexei se \u00eentoarse la morm\u00e2ntul mamei sale. Se a\u0219ez\u0103 \u0219i r\u0103mase pe g\u00e2nduri. \u201eE ciudat\u2026 Katia parc\u0103 nu locuia aici, venise doar \u00een vizit\u0103 la mama ei. Acum \u00eens\u0103 se pare c\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219te aici \u0219i are o fiic\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci nu \u0219tia c\u0103 Katia avea un copil. De\u0219i, cine \u0219tie c\u00e2\u021bi ani are Liza? Poate Katia s-a c\u0103s\u0103torit \u0219i a n\u0103scut-o. G\u00e2ndindu-se astfel, Alexei se ridic\u0103. \u00ce\u0219i d\u0103dea seama c\u0103, cel mai probabil, acum Katia \u00eens\u0103\u0219i avea grij\u0103 de cas\u0103 \u0219i el \u00eei pl\u0103tea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, ce importan\u021b\u0103 avea cui pl\u0103tea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei se opri \u00een fa\u021ba casei. Inima i se str\u00e2nse. Casa ar\u0103ta exact la fel ca atunci. P\u0103rea c\u0103, \u00een orice clip\u0103, mama avea s\u0103 ias\u0103 pe prisp\u0103, s\u0103-\u0219i \u0219tearg\u0103 lacrimile cu col\u021bul \u0219or\u021bului \u0219i s\u0103-l \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei st\u0103tu mult timp \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103. Dar mama nu ie\u0219i. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103, cobor\u00ee \u0219i intr\u0103 \u00een curte. R\u0103mase uimit: florile erau plantate, gr\u0103dina \u00eengrijit\u0103, totul curat \u0219i frumos. Bravo, Katia! Trebuia s\u0103 o r\u0103spl\u0103teasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00een cas\u0103 era curat \u0219i proasp\u0103t, ca \u0219i cum cineva locuise acolo p\u00e2n\u0103 acum \u0219i plecase doar pentru pu\u021bin timp. Alexei se a\u0219ez\u0103 la mas\u0103, dar nu putu sta mult. Trebuia s\u0103 mearg\u0103 la vecin\u0103 s\u0103 clarifice lucrurile, apoi s\u0103 se odihneasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La u\u0219\u0103 \u00eei deschise Liza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Oh, dumneavoastr\u0103? \u2014 z\u00e2mbi ea \u0219treng\u0103re\u0219te, pun\u00e2nd degetul pe buze. \u2014 S\u0103 nu-i spune\u021bi mamei c\u0103 ne-am v\u0103zut la cimitir!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei f\u0103cu semn ca \u0219i cum ar \u00eencuia gura cu cheia, iar Liza r\u00e2se vesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Intra\u021bi! \u2014 se auzi din camer\u0103. \u2014 M\u0103 simt mai bine, dar v\u0103 rog s\u0103 nu v\u0103 apropia\u021bi prea mult, s\u0103 nu cumva s\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eemboln\u0103vi\u021bi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia \u00eel privi speriat\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei z\u00e2mbi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Salut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privind \u00een jur, \u00eentreb\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde e so\u021bul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centrebarea era de prisos; sim\u021bea deja c\u0103 so\u021bul nu era \u0219i poate nici nu fusese vreodat\u0103 acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alexei\u2026 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 nu te-am anun\u021bat despre moartea mamei tale. Cu serviciul \u00een ora\u0219 e greu, a\u0219a c\u0103 am avut grij\u0103 de cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u pentru tine, Katia. \u0218i mul\u021bumesc enorm pentru grij\u0103. Am intrat \u0219i am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mama a plecat doar pentru o clip\u0103. Totul e at\u00e2t de curat, de cald. C\u00e2t ai de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 mai stai?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mult. Doar c\u00e2teva zile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce vrei s\u0103 faci cu casa? O vinzi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei ridic\u0103 din umeri:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cenc\u0103 nu m-am g\u00e2ndit. Katia, uite\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scoase un plic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Asta e pentru tine. Ca un bonus pentru grija fa\u021b\u0103 de cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puse pe mas\u0103 o sum\u0103 considerabil\u0103 de bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alexei, ce faci? Nu e nevoie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumim, domnule Alexei! \u2014 z\u00e2mbi Liza. \u2014 Mama viseaz\u0103 de mult la o rochie nou\u0103, iar eu vreau o biciclet\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei r\u00e2se:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bravo, Liza!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era la fel ca el c\u00e2nd era copil: banii nu-l ocoleau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara, Alexei \u00eencepu s\u0103 se simt\u0103 r\u0103u. Se pare c\u0103 se \u00eemboln\u0103vise. Avea febr\u0103 mare. \u0218tia unde mama p\u0103stra mereu termometrul, \u00eel g\u0103si, \u00ee\u0219i m\u0103sur\u0103 temperatura \u0219i \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 ia m\u0103suri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ne\u0219tiind ce medicamente s\u0103 ia, \u00eei trimise un SMS Katii: \u201eCe s\u0103 iau pentru febr\u0103 mare?\u201d Peste zece minute, vecinele erau deja la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dumnezeule, de ce ai intrat \u00een cas\u0103? M-ai prins de boal\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eh, \u0219i tu e\u0219ti bolnav\u0103. Nu-\u021bi face griji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 simt mai bine acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia \u00eei \u00eentinse pastilele, iar Liza \u00eei f\u0103cu ceai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 se ard\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine? Lizu\u021ba?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, eu o s\u0103 m\u0103 ard! Ea e me\u0219ter\u0103 la toate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei z\u00e2mbi. Parc\u0103 auzea un clic \u00een minte, ca \u00een copil\u0103rie. G\u00e2ndurile i se limpezir\u0103 brusc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Katia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea \u00eel privi cu nelini\u0219te:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd s-a n\u0103scut Liza?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia se a\u0219ez\u0103 obosit\u0103 pe un scaun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce vrei s\u0103 \u0219tii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Katia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia se \u00eentoarse c\u0103tre fiica ei:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Lizu\u021ba, fugi p\u00e2n\u0103 la magazin, ia ni\u0219te l\u0103m\u00e2i \u0219i ceva de b\u0103ut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bine, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ce Liza ie\u0219i, Katia \u00eencepu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alexei, s\u0103 stabilim de la \u00eenceput: Liza nu are nicio leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu tine. Nu vrem nimic de la tine. Avem tot ce ne trebuie. Uit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce? Deci e adev\u0103rat? Katia, \u00een\u021belegi ce spui? De ce nu m-ai sunat? De ce nu mi-ai spus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei s\u0103ri \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am decis singur\u0103 s\u0103 p\u0103strez copilul. Tu nu ai avut nicio implicare. Nici m\u0103car nu m-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 te vei \u00eentoarce. \u0218i cu at\u00e2t mai pu\u021bin c\u0103 \u021bi-ar p\u0103sa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei se a\u0219ez\u0103 din nou:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am r\u0103nit sufletul atunci\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia ridic\u0103 din umeri:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am trecut peste. Vezi bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei t\u0103cea. Era \u00een stare de \u0219oc. To\u021bi ace\u0219ti ani tr\u0103ise o via\u021b\u0103 fals\u0103, iar adev\u0103rata via\u021b\u0103 era aici, acas\u0103, \u00een fa\u021ba lui, \u00een persoana Lizei \u0219i a Katii. Acum, privind-o, \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103dea seama: ce altceva \u0219i-ar mai putea dori?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nimic. Nu mai avea nevoie de altceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alexei? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Katia \u00eengrijorat\u0103. \u2014 Ce vei face? Te rog, nu-i spune nimic Lizei. Dac\u0103 vei pleca \u0219i ea va a\u0219tepta, va suferi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, Katia, asta nu se va \u00eent\u00e2mpla. Cum ai putut s\u0103 g\u00e2nde\u0219ti asta despre mine? Nici eu nu \u0219tiu \u00eenc\u0103 exact ce s\u0103 fac\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noaptea, Alexei a visat-o pe mama lui. Ea \u00eei z\u00e2mbea, bucuroas\u0103, \u0219i \u00eei spunea c\u0103 \u00eentotdeauna visase s\u0103 aib\u0103 o nepo\u021bic\u0103 a\u0219a cum e Liza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei a plecat dup\u0103 trei zile. Katia st\u0103tea la mas\u0103 \u0219i \u00eel asculta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Deci a\u0219a: m\u0103 ocup de c\u00e2teva probleme \u0219i m\u0103 \u00eentorc. O s\u0103 dureze o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, poate un pic mai mult. Dar m\u0103 \u00eentorc, \u0219i nu doar ca s\u0103 vizitez. Vin s\u0103 v\u0103 readuc pe am\u00e2ndou\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea. Promit c\u0103 nu-i voi spune nimic Lizei dac\u0103\u2026 dac\u0103 nu va merge \u00eentre noi. Dar voi ajuta oricum. Katia, spune-mi, am vreo \u0219ans\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O \u0219ans\u0103 de a fi ferici\u021bi, de a fi o familie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia ridic\u0103 din umeri \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i \u0219terse o lacrim\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu, Alexei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a \u00eentors abia dup\u0103 trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. A oprit ma\u0219ina nu la casa lui, ci la casa Katii. Scoase din portbagaj pungi mari cu cadouri pentru Liza \u0219i Katia. Intra \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia cosea ceva. Ridic\u0103 privirea \u0219i z\u00e2mbi slab:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai venit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus c\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc. Unde e\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din camer\u0103 ap\u0103ru Liza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua, domnule Alexei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katia se ridic\u0103: \u2014 M-am g\u00e2ndit la tot ce mi-ai spus \u0219i\u2026 Liza, vreau s\u0103 te prezint tat\u0103lui t\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexei sc\u0103p\u0103 pungile din m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, \u2014 \u0219opti el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peste o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, au plecat \u00eempreun\u0103. Au scos ambele case la v\u00e2nzare. Au decis s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 nou\u0103, de la zero. Liza era \u00eenc\u0103 pu\u021bin timid\u0103. \u00cel striga c\u00e2nd \u201etati\u201d, c\u00e2nd \u201edomnul Alexei\u201d.
