M\u00e2na lui C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a oprit la c\u00e2\u021biva centimetri de cheie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la Mara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 de c\u00e2nd \u00eencepuse totul, nu la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDe ce ai spus asta?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns \u0219i mai tare degetele \u00een jurul bra\u021bului meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De afar\u0103, Doina a \u00eenceput din nou s\u0103 bat\u0103 \u00een u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cC\u0103t\u0103lin! Deschide!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telefonul lui vibra \u00eencontinuu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina striga de pe palier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCe exemplu da\u021bi copiilor? S\u0103-\u0219i lase bunica la u\u0219\u0103 \u00een ziua de Cr\u0103ciun?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a cobor\u00e2t m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDe ce nu vrei s\u0103 intre bunica?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a uitat \u00eent\u00e2i la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPo\u021bi s\u0103-i spui\u201d, i-am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi la tat\u0103l ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPentru c\u0103 dup\u0103 ce vine, mami pl\u00e2nge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u00cen baie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge g\u00e2tul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a continuat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCrezi c\u0103 noi nu auzim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu i-am spus nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad, care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci st\u0103tuse c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i mai \u00een spate, a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTati, azi putem s\u0103 m\u00e2nc\u0103m f\u0103r\u0103 ceart\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De partea cealalt\u0103 a u\u0219ii, Doina continua:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFiule! Chiar stai acolo \u0219i o la\u0219i s\u0103 ne fac\u0103 a\u0219a ceva?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a ridicat telefonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMam\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeschide imediat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inclusiv eu m-am uitat la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCum adic\u0103 nu?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat Doina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMerge\u021bi acas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cC\u0103t\u0103lin!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVorbim alt\u0103 dat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTe-a \u00eentors \u00eempotriva familiei!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a uitat spre Mara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu. Vorbim dup\u0103 s\u0103rb\u0103tori.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i a \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a deschis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u0219i Alina au mai r\u0103mas aproape zece minute pe palier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au sunat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trimis mesaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina a mai b\u0103tut o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi au plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd am auzit liftul, Mara a dat drumul bra\u021bului meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad a fugit la geam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAu plecat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am sim\u021bit victorie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doar oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a dus \u00een sufragerie \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe canapea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u0103mas acolo c\u00e2teva minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii s-au \u00eentors la cadouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu m-am dus \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am pus cozonacul pe un platou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cemi tremurau \u00eenc\u0103 m\u00e2inile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a ap\u0103rut \u00een u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDe c\u00e2te ori ai pl\u00e2ns \u00een baie?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am continuat s\u0103 tai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIrina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu \u0219tiu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCum s\u0103 nu \u0219tii?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPentru c\u0103 n-am \u021binut socoteala.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA v\u0103zut Mara?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSe pare c\u0103 da.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i Vlad?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am pus cu\u021bitul jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cC\u0103t\u0103lin, copiii v\u0103d mult mai mult dec\u00e2t credem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a trecut m\u00e2na peste fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDe ce nu mi-ai spus c\u0103 au observat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u021ai-am spus c\u0103 Vlad m-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 mama ta nu m\u0103 place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu asta\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u021ai-am spus c\u0103 Mara m-a \u00eentrebat de ce Alina spune c\u0103 la noi e ur\u00e2t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u021ai-am spus c\u0103 nu mai pot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoar c\u0103 de fiecare dat\u0103 mi-ai explicat c\u0103 dramatizez.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a uitat spre sufragerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad r\u00e2dea la ceva de la televizor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara desf\u0103cea o cutie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu mi-am dat seama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218tiu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asta a fost tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen ziua aceea am m\u00e2ncat doar noi patru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-a fost masa perfect\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friptura s-a r\u0103cit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am uitat salata \u00een frigider p\u00e2n\u0103 aproape de desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad a v\u0103rsat suc pe fa\u021ba de mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103 a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi s-a uitat spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-am dat seama ce a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am luat un prosop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu-i nimic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad m-a privit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu te superi?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPentru un pahar cu suc?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eenceput s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin v\u0103zuse tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a spus nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 Cr\u0103ciun au \u00eenceput mesajele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u00eei scria lui C\u0103t\u0103lin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina \u00eemi scria mie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O m\u0103tu\u0219\u0103 pe care n-o mai v\u0103zusem de aproape un an mi-a trimis un mesaj lung despre \u201crespectul pentru cei care ne-au crescut\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alt\u0103 rud\u0103 mi-a spus c\u0103 le \u00eentorceam copiii \u00eempotriva bunicilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am r\u0103spuns nim\u0103nui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 patru zile, C\u0103t\u0103lin a venit acas\u0103 \u0219i mi-a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrebuie s\u0103 rezolv\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEu am rezolvat-o.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIrina\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu mai intr\u0103 aici ca s\u0103 m\u0103 umileasc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am uitat la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCe \u00eenseamn\u0103 cu to\u021bii?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMama \u0219i Alina vin duminic\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am l\u0103sat cana pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLe-ai invitat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu pentru mas\u0103. Doar s\u0103 discut\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cC\u0103t\u0103lin\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu putem s\u0103 fugim la nesf\u00e2r\u0219it de conversa\u021bia asta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi revine furia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu fug?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu asta am vrut s\u0103 spun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu le-am spus s\u0103 nu vin\u0103 de Cr\u0103ciun. Au venit. Eu am \u00eencuiat u\u0219a. Ele au f\u0103cut scandal pe palier. \u0218i acum tot eu fug de conversa\u021bie?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a oftat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVreau doar s\u0103 \u00eenchidem povestea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles ce voia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu o schimbare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aceea\u0219i lini\u0219te pe care o cump\u0103rasem ani \u00eentregi t\u0103c\u00e2nd eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDac\u0103 vin, nu-mi cer scuze pentru Cr\u0103ciun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNu \u021bi-a cerut nimeni asta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u00cenc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duminic\u0103 au venit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De data aceasta le-am deschis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a intrat prima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina dup\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niciuna nu adusese nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niciuna nu z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii erau \u00een sufragerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le spusesem c\u0103 pot merge \u00een camerele lor dac\u0103 nu vor s\u0103 stea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a ales s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad la fel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a a\u0219ezat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu n-am venit aici s\u0103 m\u0103 cert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A p\u0103rut surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBine. Atunci poate recuno\u0219ti \u0219i tu c\u0103 ai exagerat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exact cum m\u0103 a\u0219teptasem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El \u0219i-a frecat palmele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMam\u0103, poate nu \u00eencepem a\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u0103t\u0103lin a dat \u00eencet din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile \u00een poal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDac\u0103 buni vorbe\u0219te frumos cu mami, de ce mami pl\u00e2nge de fiecare dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ce pleac\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin n-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a f\u0103cut un gest iritat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCopilul nu \u00een\u021belege discu\u021biile adul\u021bilor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci Vlad a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu \u00een\u021beleg c\u00e2nd mami e trist\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i c\u00e2nd am spart paharul ai zis c\u0103 e vina ei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u0218i eu am crezut c\u0103 mami a f\u0103cut ceva r\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin se uita c\u00e2nd la copii, c\u00e2nd la mama lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina s-a ridicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu nu stau aici s\u0103 fiu judecat\u0103 de doi copii!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a luat geanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u00eens\u0103 a r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMara, Vlad, bunica v\u0103 iube\u0219te.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a r\u0103spuns imediat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i pe mami?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een to\u021bi anii \u00een care o cuno\u0219team, n-a avut o replic\u0103 preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMam\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNu Irina te-a \u021binut afar\u0103 de Cr\u0103ciun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCum adic\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNoi te-am adus \u00een punctul \u00een care copiii se temeau s\u0103 intri.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se pune un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina \u0219i-a luat geanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFoarte frumos. Dup\u0103 tot ce am f\u0103cut pentru tine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eenchis ochii pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMam\u0103, exact asta faci.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOrice \u00ee\u021bi spun devine o datorie pe care o am fa\u021b\u0103 de tine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu te-am crescut!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocea lui era calm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDar eu \u00eei cresc pe ei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ar\u0103tat spre copii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i nu vreau s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021be c\u0103 familia \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 taci c\u00e2nd cineva te r\u0103ne\u0219te.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina plecase deja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u0219i-a cerut scuze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nici atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nici s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na urm\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut aproape dou\u0103 luni p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd C\u0103t\u0103lin a mers singur la ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u0219tiu tot ce au vorbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nici nu am vrut s\u0103 \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors, mi-a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMama \u00eenc\u0103 spune c\u0103 ai exagerat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cM\u0103 a\u0219teptam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDar i-am spus c\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 nu poate veni aici f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 te critice, nu mai facem mesele de familie la noi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am privit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTu i-ai spus asta?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA pl\u00e2ns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ridicat o spr\u00e2ncean\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i n-ai cedat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAm fost foarte tentat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi s-a uitat spre sufragerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDar mi-am amintit de Mara la u\u0219\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucrurile nu s-au reparat peste noapte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vin\u0103 din nou dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00eenceput pentru c\u00e2te o or\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd a comentat despre m\u00e2ncare, C\u0103t\u0103lin a spus simplu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMam\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un singur cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alt\u0103 dat\u0103 a \u00eenceput s\u0103-i spun\u0103 Marei c\u0103 \u201co domni\u0219oar\u0103 nu r\u0103spunde a\u0219a\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu nici n-am apucat s\u0103 intervin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a f\u0103cut-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEu \u0219i Irina ne ocup\u0103m de educa\u021bia copiilor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doina s-a sup\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar a t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu s-a transformat \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 femeie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alina nici at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i nici eu n-am devenit brusc imun\u0103 la fiecare replic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diferen\u021ba era c\u0103 nu mai eram singur\u0103 \u00een propria cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen Cr\u0103ciunul urm\u0103tor, copiii m-au \u00eentrebat cu c\u00e2teva zile \u00eenainte:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVine buni?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u0218i dac\u0103 iar vorbe\u0219te ur\u00e2t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin era l\u00e2ng\u0103 brad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u0103spuns \u00eenaintea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAtunci pleac\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlad a continuat s\u0103 aga\u021be globul pe care \u00eel \u021binea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 u\u0219a pe care o \u00eencuiasem cu un an \u00eenainte nu fusese, de fapt, lucrul care ne desp\u0103r\u021bise familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fusese primul lucru care ne obligase s\u0103 vedem c\u00e2t de mult r\u0103u f\u0103cuse t\u0103cerea noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
