Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t abia mai auzeam ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u00een jurul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen prag a ap\u0103rut un b\u0103rbat \u00een jur de \u0219aizeci de ani. Purta un palton \u00eenchis la culoare \u0219i \u021binea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o serviet\u0103 veche din piele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu-l mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat la Radu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cel recuno\u0219ti? m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul a intrat \u00eencet \u0219i \u0219i-a scos paltonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 seara, Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faptul c\u0103 \u00eemi \u0219tia numele mi-a f\u0103cut stomacul s\u0103 se str\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine sunte\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acesta este domnul Ionescu. Avocatul bunicii tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunica mea murise cu trei ani \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Despre ce vorbe\u0219ti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avocatul a deschis servieta \u0219i a scos un dosar gros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bunica dumneavoastr\u0103 mi-a l\u0103sat instruc\u021biuni foarte clare. Mi-a cerut s\u0103 nu v\u0103 contactez dec\u00e2t dup\u0103 ce \u00eemplinea\u021bi un an de c\u0103s\u0103torie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am clipit de c\u00e2teva ori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u00een\u021belegeam nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Un an de c\u0103s\u0103torie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, a r\u0103spuns el. Era o condi\u021bie inclus\u0103 \u00eentr-un act notarial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am privit pe Radu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu \u0219tiai despre asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sigur c\u0103 \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tonul lui calm m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eenfurii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i conversa\u021bia telefonic\u0103? Ce \u00eensemna?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, p\u0103rea surprins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai auzit-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Fiecare cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu \u0219i-a trecut o m\u00e2n\u0103 prin p\u0103r \u0219i a oftat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana, nu era ce crezi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci explic\u0103-mi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avocatul a intervenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cred c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 \u00eencep eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deschis dosarul \u0219i mi-a \u00eentins c\u00e2teva documente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bunica dumneavoastr\u0103 de\u021binea mai multe terenuri \u0219i propriet\u0103\u021bi \u00een jude\u021bul Prahova. Valoarea lor actual\u0103 dep\u0103\u0219e\u0219te dou\u0103 milioane de lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 glas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u0219tiam nimic despre asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunica tr\u0103ise modest toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ea nu voia ca averea s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la cineva care se c\u0103s\u0103tore\u0219te doar pentru bani. De aceea a stabilit aceast\u0103 condi\u021bie: mo\u0219tenirea urma s\u0103 fie transferat\u0103 doar dac\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2nea\u021bi c\u0103s\u0103torit\u0103 cel pu\u021bin un an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eentors privirea spre Radu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i asta era motivul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Asta e partea pe care ai \u00een\u021beles-o gre\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci care era motivul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a scos \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it m\u00e2na de la spate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u021ainea o cutie mare, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 \u00een catifea albastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Motivul pentru care am r\u0103mas a fost \u00eentotdeauna acela\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deschis cutia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen\u0103untru se afla un album foto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu bijuterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu documente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fotografii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noi doi la \u0219aisprezece ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La balul de absolvire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen excursii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La facultate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La prima chirie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La nunta noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiecare fotografie avea l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea o scrisoare scris\u0103 de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce este asta? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Planul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-a \u00eentins albumul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Omul cu care vorbeam este v\u0103rul meu. \u00cen fiecare an \u00eei spuneam c\u0103 o s\u0103 fac albumul \u0103sta \u0219i nu-l terminam niciodat\u0103. \u00cen seara asta i-am spus c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, voi face ce am pl\u0103nuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenc\u0103lzesc obrajii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i partea cu \u201eo p\u0103c\u0103lesc \u00eenc\u0103 din liceu\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u00e2s pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u00een liceu m\u0103 pref\u0103ceam c\u0103 sunt sigur pe mine. Adev\u0103rul e c\u0103 eram \u00eengrozit. \u00cei spuneam mereu c\u0103 n-ai idee c\u00e2t de speriat eram c\u0103 o fat\u0103 ca tine ar putea s\u0103 m\u0103 plac\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O parte din mine voia s\u0103 fie \u00eenc\u0103 sup\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar privirea lui era sincer\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t de sincer\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t mi-am dat seama c\u0103, \u00een ultimele dou\u0103 ore, construisem \u00een mintea mea o poveste complet diferit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avocatul a \u00eenchis dosarul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cred c\u0103 misiunea mea aici s-a \u00eencheiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ne-a l\u0103sat documentele \u0219i a plecat discret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casa a r\u0103mas lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 te-am speriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-ai idee c\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pot s\u0103 repar asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am privit albumul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultima pagin\u0103 era goal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe ea scria doar at\u00e2t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePentru urm\u0103torii cincisprezece ani.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d \u0219i s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tii c\u0103 aproape am crezut c\u0103 ai stat cu mine pentru bani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 a\u0219 fi vrut bani, nu a\u0219 fi a\u0219teptat cincisprezece ani s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am putut s\u0103-l contrazic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-a tras u\u0219or \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea sear\u0103, tensiunea a disp\u0103rut complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lum\u00e2n\u0103rile \u00eenc\u0103 ardeau pe mas\u0103. Vinul era neturnat. Cina se r\u0103cise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar niciunuia dintre noi nu-i mai p\u0103sa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 at\u00e2\u021bia ani \u00een care a\u0219teptasem un inel, o nunt\u0103 \u0219i confirm\u0103ri, am \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via\u021ba pe care o visaser\u0103m pe prispa bunicii nu \u00eencepea atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cencepuse cu mult timp \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar \u00een seara aceea, st\u00e2nd \u00een bra\u021bele lui, am \u0219tiut c\u0103 nu fusese o minciun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fusese aceea\u0219i poveste de dragoste pe care o construiser\u0103m \u00eempreun\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 de la \u0219aisprezece ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
