Valentina nu a vorbit imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A intrat \u00een apartamentul mic de la marginea Ploie\u0219tiului ca o umbr\u0103 \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe pat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea jos pantofii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina s-a apropiat \u00eencet de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina tremura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avea urme vine\u021bii pe \u00eencheieturi \u0219i rimelul \u00eentins pe obraji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 te rog\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea i s-a rupt complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00een clipa aceea ceva s-a stins \u00een ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a \u021bipat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doar s-a ridicat foarte calm \u0219i a luat o p\u0103tur\u0103, acoperindu-\u0219i fiica p\u00e2n\u0103 sub b\u0103rbie, ca atunci c\u00e2nd era copil \u0219i f\u0103cea febr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a mers \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i a \u00eenchis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina o auzea respir\u00e2nd greu de partea cealalt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diminea\u021ba, Galina s-a dus la poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acolo au \u00eenceput \u00eentreb\u0103rile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dac\u0103 fata b\u0103use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dac\u0103 era sigur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dac\u0103 nu cumva \u201e\u00een\u021belesese gre\u0219it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un poli\u021bist chiar a oftat obosit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunt copii. Au terminat liceul, s-au distrat\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina l-a privit at\u00e2t de rece \u00eenc\u00e2t b\u0103rbatul \u0219i-a \u00eentrerupt propozi\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar adev\u0103rata lovitur\u0103 a venit dup\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Familiile b\u0103ie\u021bilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una avea afaceri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alta avea rela\u021bii \u00een prim\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar tat\u0103l lui George era avocat cunoscut \u00een ora\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brusc, totul devenise complicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu exist\u0103 suficiente dovezi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePoate fata regret\u0103 acum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePoate a fost consensual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina \u00eenceta s\u0103 mai vorbeasc\u0103 pu\u021bin c\u00e2te pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai m\u00e2nca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai dormea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u021ainea lumina aprins\u0103 toat\u0103 noaptea \u0219i tres\u0103rea la orice zgomot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina o privea \u0219i sim\u021bea cum o ur\u0103 rece \u00eei cre\u0219te \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu doar fa\u021b\u0103 de b\u0103ie\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fa\u021b\u0103 de to\u021bi cei care voiau s\u0103 \u00eengroape adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a venit ziua \u00een care Ana a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina ie\u0219ea de la farmacie c\u00e2nd a auzit dou\u0103 fete vorbind l\u00e2ng\u0103 un fast-food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai v\u0103zut-o pe Valentina? Nici m\u0103car nu mai iese din cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103i dac\u0103 s-a dus singur\u0103 cu ei\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i apoi r\u00e2sul Anei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Batjocoritor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina s-a oprit \u00een mijlocul trotuarului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea a f\u0103cut ceva ce nimeni nu se a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mers direct la biserica unde urma s\u0103 aib\u0103 loc festivitatea de premiere a absolven\u021bilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A vorbit cu preotul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-a ar\u0103tat fotografii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mesaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cenregistrarea vocal\u0103 pe care Valentina o f\u0103cuse f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vrea \u00een telefon, \u00een timp ce era dus\u0103 spre subsol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e2sete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u021aipete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea Anei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preotul a albit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dumnezeule\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina l-a privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 \u0219i dumneavoastr\u0103 t\u0103ce\u021bi, atunci \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 sunt deja mor\u021bi to\u021bi cei care \u00eenc\u0103 mai cred \u00een dreptate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dou\u0103 zile mai t\u00e2rziu, tot ora\u0219ul era adunat \u00een curtea liceului pentru ceremonia oficial\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0103rin\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profesori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elevi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103ie\u021bii st\u0103teau \u00een primul r\u00e2nd, \u00eembr\u0103ca\u021bi elegant, z\u00e2mbind de parc\u0103 nimic nu se \u00eent\u00e2mplase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea poze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina nu venise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00eenceput, ceremonia a mers normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd preotul a luat microfonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00een loc de discursul preg\u0103tit, a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cenainte s\u0103 premiem ace\u0219ti tineri, trebuie s\u0103 vorbim despre ceea ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat dup\u0103 bal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lini\u0219tea a c\u0103zut instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina st\u0103tea \u00een spatele mul\u021bimii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nemi\u015fcat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preotul a continuat cu voce tremurat\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unii dintre voi \u0219ti\u021bi adev\u0103rul \u0219i au ales s\u0103 tac\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0103rin\u021bii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 murmure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profesorii se uitau unii la al\u021bii speria\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi s-a auzit \u00eenregistrarea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e2sete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea speriat\u0103 a Valentinei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i unul dintre b\u0103ie\u021bi spun\u00e2nd clar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cenchide u\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fa\u021ba Anei s-a golit complet de culoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul dintre b\u0103ie\u021bi s-a ridicat brusc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Opri\u021bi asta!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot ora\u0219ul auzea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamele \u00ee\u0219i tr\u0103geau copiii mai aproape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ta\u021bii priveau \u0219oca\u021bi spre b\u0103ie\u021bii care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci fuseser\u0103 \u201ecopii buni\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina nu a \u021bipat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a f\u0103cut scandal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doar a ie\u0219it \u00eencet \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 \u0219i a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Fiica mea a vrut doar s\u0103 mearg\u0103 la bal ca orice copil normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar vocea ei a rupt ceva \u00een oameni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare a \u00eenceput ancheta adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presa local\u0103 a aflat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directorul liceului a fost suspendat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poli\u021bi\u0219tii care \u00eencercaser\u0103 s\u0103 mu\u0219amalizeze cazul au fost investiga\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar p\u0103rin\u021bii b\u0103ie\u021bilor au descoperit c\u0103 banii \u0219i rela\u021biile nu pot opri ru\u0219inea atunci c\u00e2nd \u00eentregul ora\u0219 afl\u0103 adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina a avut nevoie de luni \u00eentregi p\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 poat\u0103 ie\u0219i din nou singur\u0103 pe strad\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, Galina a g\u0103sit-o \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, preg\u0103tindu-\u0219i ceai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, fata ridicase perdelele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina s-a apropiat imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina \u0219i-a frecat m\u00e2inile \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Crezi c\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 mai priveasc\u0103 lumea normal vreodat\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galina i-a atins obrazul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Oamenii buni da. Restul nu conteaz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentina a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar Galina a str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be cu toat\u0103 for\u021ba pe care o avea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru c\u0103 uneori o mam\u0103 nu poate \u0219terge r\u0103ul f\u0103cut copilului ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar poate refuza s\u0103 lase lumea s\u0103-l ascund\u0103 \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
