Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii\u00a0\u00a0\u2014 Vezi? Pentru ea \u201enu pot\u201d este un r\u0103spuns. Pentru mine nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu n-a mai spus nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eentors ma\u0219ina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu m-a l\u0103sat acas\u0103 pu\u021bin dup\u0103 ora nou\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vin la timp pentru restaurant \u2014 mi-a spus \u00eenainte s\u0103 plece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu asta discut\u0103m acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u0103mas cu m\u00e2na pe volan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, Radu. Cred c\u0103 abia acum \u00eencepi s\u0103 \u00een\u021belegi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eenchis portiera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu i-am cerut s\u0103 nu mearg\u0103 la mama lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era mama lui. Dac\u0103 voia s\u0103-\u0219i petreac\u0103 ziua muncind \u00een gr\u0103dina ei, era alegerea lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exact despre asta fusese toat\u0103 discu\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alegerea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu mi-am f\u0103cut cafea, apoi am sunat-o pe Laura, prietena mea. La pr\u00e2nz am ie\u0219it \u00eempreun\u0103 \u00een ora\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu, \u00eentre timp, ajunsese la mama lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu avea s\u0103-mi povesteasc\u0103 exact ce se \u00eent\u00e2mplase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u00eel a\u0219tepta la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde este Alina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Chiar ai \u00eentors ma\u0219ina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u021bi-a poruncit ea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu \u0219i-a scos tricoul bun \u0219i \u0219i-a pus unul vechi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 n-ar fi trebuit s-o mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-ai min\u021bit-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 I-am spus c\u0103 \u00eei preg\u0103tesc o surpriz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce era s\u0103 faci? Dac\u0103 \u00eei spuneai, nu venea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era exact argumentul pe care \u00eel folosise \u0219i el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din gura mamei lui \u00eens\u0103 suna diferit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tocmai asta e problema, mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Las\u0103 prostiile. Hai la agri\u0219e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 aproape dou\u0103 ore, Radu \u00eenc\u0103 nu terminase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a c\u0103rat cei \u0219ase saci \u00een magazie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a crezut c\u0103 poate pleca, Doina i-a ar\u0103tat straturile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai trebuie f\u0103cute morcovii \u0219i sfecla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, mi-ai spus c\u0103 sunt c\u00e2teva ore de munc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103i sunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunt aici de aproape patru ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 venea \u0219i Alina, terminam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s-a \u00eendreptat de spate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sun-o pe Cristina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus c\u0103 nu poate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai \u00eentrebat-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina n-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, ai \u00eentrebat-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Are copiii acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unul dintre ei are \u0219aisprezece ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce vrei? S\u0103-mi pun nepo\u021bii la munc\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a privit g\u0103le\u021bile pline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar pe Alina po\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a \u00eencruntat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alina este nevasta ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Exact. Nevasta mea. Nu angajata familiei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci a sunat telefonul Doinei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama lui a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, mam\u0103 \u2014 s-a auzit vocea ei. \u2014 Voiam s\u0103 te \u00eentreb dac\u0103 m\u00e2ine putem veni mai devreme dup\u0103 cartofi \u0219i ro\u0219ii. Plec\u0103m dup\u0103 pr\u00e2nz la ni\u0219te prieteni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 D\u0103-mi telefonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 D\u0103-mi-l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a ezitat, apoi i l-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cristina, m\u00e2ine vii s\u0103 aju\u021bi la scos cartofii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poftim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai auzit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Radu, eu vin doar s\u0103 iau ce ne-a preg\u0103tit mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Tocmai asta este problema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce te-a apucat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nimic. Doar c\u0103 Alina \u0219i cu mine am muncit aici ani \u00eentregi, iar tu vii c\u00e2nd este gata recolta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 Alina \u021bi-a b\u0103gat prostiile astea \u00een cap\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu vorbi despre so\u021bia mea a\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a \u00eentors imediat spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Radu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar el a continuat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei cartofi, vii s\u0103-i sco\u021bi. Dac\u0103 vrei ro\u0219ii, vii s\u0103 aju\u021bi. Dac\u0103 nu po\u021bi, nicio problem\u0103. Dar atunci nu mai presupune c\u0103 Alina trebuie s\u0103 munceasc\u0103 \u00een locul t\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mama mi-a spus c\u0103 pot s\u0103 iau!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mama poate s\u0103-\u021bi dea ce vrea din gr\u0103dina ei. Eu doar \u00ee\u021bi spun c\u0103 nu mai promit munca so\u021biei mele ca s\u0103 fie gata c\u00e2nd vii tu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina s-a enervat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acum \u00eemi sco\u021bi ochii pentru c\u00e2teva legume?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. \u00ce\u021bi spun doar c\u0103 eu nu mai fac asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u00eel privea furioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai reu\u0219it s\u0103-\u021bi superi sora din cauza Alinei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu din cauza Alinei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u00e2n\u0103 azi n-ai avut nicio problem\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 azi eu spuneam \u201eda\u201d \u0219i pentru mine, \u0219i pentru ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum ce vrei? S\u0103 las gr\u0103dina de izbeli\u0219te?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a privit-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Eu vin s\u0103 te ajut c\u00e2nd pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar Alina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe Alina o \u00eentrebi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunt mama ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ea este so\u021bia ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Exact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a plecat pu\u021bin dup\u0103 ora patru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns acas\u0103, eu m\u0103 preg\u0103team pentru restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era ars de soare pe bra\u021be, murdar pe pantaloni \u0219i vizibil obosit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La mul\u021bi ani \u2014 mi-a spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u0103mas \u00een u\u0219a dormitorului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am vorbit cu mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ne-am certat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 n-am venit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La \u00eenceput, da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Apoi a sunat Cristina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mi-a trebuit mult s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Venea dup\u0103 legume?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 I-am spus c\u0103, dac\u0103 vrea s\u0103 ia, trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 ajute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am privit surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu i-ai spus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i mama ta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Este furioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a z\u00e2mbit amar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe am\u00e2ndoi. Dar mai ales pe mine, pentru c\u0103 eu am schimbat regula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi expresia lui a devenit serioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Alina, \u00eemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am r\u0103spuns imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu pentru c\u0103 ai refuzat s\u0103 vii. Pentru ce am f\u0103cut eu diminea\u021b\u0103. \u0218tiam c\u0103 vei spune nu \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103 m\u0103 asigur c\u0103 vei afla prea t\u00e2rziu ca s\u0103 mai refuzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exact asta aveam nevoie s\u0103 aud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u201eam vrut doar s\u0103 o ajut pe mama\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u201en-am crezut c\u0103 te superi\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ci adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 nu mai faci asta niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mai fac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nici pentru mama ta. Nici pentru altcineva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103-i promi\u021bi timpul t\u0103u, promite-l. Timpul meu \u00eel promit eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am mers la restaurant \u00een seara aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 totul fusese reparat \u00een c\u00e2teva ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i nici pentru c\u0103 ziua mea devenise brusc perfect\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am mers pentru c\u0103 decisesem s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n cu so\u021bul meu, iar el \u00ee\u0219i asumase clar ce f\u0103cuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar conflictul cu mama lui nu disp\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Doina l-a sunat din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eram \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie c\u00e2nd am auzit conversa\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Duminic\u0103 scoatem cartofii. La opt s\u0103 fi\u021bi aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s-a uitat spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a r\u0103spuns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu pot veni c\u00e2teva ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i Alina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe Alina ai \u00eentrebat-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Radu, iar \u00eencepem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Tocmai asta \u00eencerc s\u0103-\u021bi explic. Eu vin pentru c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 te ajut. Alina decide singur\u0103 dac\u0103 vine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cristina nu poate duminic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci mut\u0103m ziua c\u00e2nd poate \u0219i ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar eu vreau s\u0103-i scot duminic\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci \u00eei scoatem noi doi c\u00e2t putem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a enervat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i restul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a r\u0103spuns f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridice vocea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Restul r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd pot veni \u0219i cei care vor s\u0103-i ia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A urmat o t\u0103cere lung\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Te-a schimbat nevast\u0103-ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu m-a privit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, mam\u0103. Eu am gre\u0219it. Am transformat ajutorul ei \u00eentr-o obliga\u021bie pentru c\u0103 era mai simplu s\u0103-i spun ei \u201ehai\u201d dec\u00e2t s\u0103-i spun Cristinei \u201evino \u0219i tu\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu am intervenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu era nevoie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen duminica aceea, Radu a mers la mama lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina a venit p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 cu so\u021bul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a r\u0103mas sup\u0103rat\u0103 pe mine o vreme. Rela\u021bia noastr\u0103 a devenit mai rece \u0219i nu am \u00eencercat s\u0103 repar asta accept\u00e2nd din nou lucruri pe care nu le voiam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a continuat s\u0103-\u0219i ajute mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu am continuat s\u0103 o ajut atunci c\u00e2nd am ales eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar niciodat\u0103 nu m-am mai trezit \u00eentr-o ma\u0219in\u0103 merg\u00e2nd spre gospod\u0103ria ei pentru c\u0103 so\u021bul meu hot\u0103r\u00e2se deja \u00een numele meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar Radu nu i-a mai spus niciodat\u0103 mamei lui:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVenim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mai \u00eent\u00e2i se \u00eentorcea spre mine \u0219i \u00eentreba:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vrei s\u0103 mergi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori spuneam da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alteori spuneam nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i ambele r\u0103spunsuri au \u00eenceput, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, s\u0103 \u00eensemne acela\u0219i lucru:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
