\u00cen pod nu era niciun animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu era nimic viu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era un atelier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un atelier adev\u0103rat. Cu mas\u0103 de lucru, scule at\u00e2rnate frumos pe perete, rafturi pline cu cutii etichetate cu scrisul Mariei. Pe un perete era prins\u0103 o foaie mare de carton pe care scria, cu litere rotunde: \u201ePentru c\u00e2nd o s\u0103 afle Gheorghe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am p\u0103\u0219it \u00eencet printre lucruri. Podeaua sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ia sub mine. Aerul mirosea a lemn, a lac, a vechi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe mas\u0103 era o cutie mare de carton. Pe ea, un plic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePentru tine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-au tremurat m\u00e2inile c\u00e2nd l-am deschis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eGheorghe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 fie m-am dus la Domnul, fie n-am mai putut \u021bine secretul. Te rog s\u0103 m\u0103 ier\u021bi c\u0103 nu \u021bi-am spus. Mi-a fost ru\u0219ine. \u0218i mi-a fost team\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe un scaun vechi, exact unde probabil st\u0103tea ea nop\u021bile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-am amintit cum, de at\u00e2tea ori, m\u0103 trezeam \u0219i nu era \u00een pat. Spunea c\u0103 nu poate dormi. C\u0103 o dor oasele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am continuat s\u0103 citesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u00cenainte s\u0103 ne c\u0103s\u0103torim, tat\u0103l meu a l\u0103sat datorii mari. H\u00e2rtii peste h\u00e2rtii. Oamenii veneau la poart\u0103. Ne amenin\u021bau. Dac\u0103 aflai, \u0219tiu c\u0103 ai fi vrut s\u0103 le pl\u0103te\u0219ti tu. \u0218i n-am vrut s\u0103 porne\u0219ti via\u021ba cu mine cu o piatr\u0103 de moar\u0103 de g\u00e2t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respira\u021bia mi s-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm \u00eenceput s\u0103 lucrez noaptea. F\u0103ceam mobil\u0103 mic\u0103, juc\u0103rii din lemn, rame, icoane. Le vindeam \u00een t\u00e2rg, la Sighet, apoi prin cuno\u0219tin\u021be. Am str\u00e2ns leu cu leu. Ani la r\u00e2nd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat \u00een jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rafturile erau pline cu juc\u0103rii din lemn, sculptate cu migal\u0103. Cai, c\u0103su\u021be, trenule\u021be. Cutii pentru bijuterii. Tablouri \u00eenr\u0103mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toate f\u0103cute de m\u00e2inile ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDatoriile au fost 48.000 de lei. I-am pl\u0103tit \u00een 11 ani. Dup\u0103 aceea\u2026 n-am mai \u0219tiut cum s\u0103 m\u0103 opresc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi s-au umplut ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm continuat. Am pus bani deoparte. Pentru copii. Pentru tine. \u00cen lada de sub mas\u0103 sunt chitan\u021bele. \u0218i carnetul de economii.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sub mas\u0103 era o lad\u0103 grea. Am deschis-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dosare ordonate. Chitan\u021be vechi, \u00eeng\u0103lbenite. \u0218i un carnet de economii de la CEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soldul: 312.000 lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-a fugit p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria, femeia care \u00eemi spunea mereu c\u0103 \u201ene descurc\u0103m cum putem\u201d, care refuza s\u0103-\u0219i cumpere rochii noi, care purta acela\u0219i palton de 20 de ani\u2026 str\u00e2nsese banii \u0103\u0219tia \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru familie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe fundul l\u0103zii mai era ceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am deschis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poze cu ea \u00een pod, mai t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103. Cu rumegu\u0219 \u00een p\u0103r. Z\u00e2mbind larg, obosit\u0103 dar m\u00e2ndr\u0103. Poze cu copiii mici, dormind jos pe o p\u0103tur\u0103, \u00een timp ce ea lucra. Poze cu mine, adormit la televizor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe ultima pagin\u0103 era o fotografie recent\u0103. Maria, anul trecut, \u021bin\u00e2nd \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o cutie sculptat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe spate scria: \u201ePentru c\u00e2nd o s\u0103-\u021bi spun adev\u0103rul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu m-a min\u021bit ca s\u0103 m\u0103 tr\u0103deze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-a min\u021bit ca s\u0103 m\u0103 protejeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo p\u00e2n\u0103 s-a \u00eentunecat. Cu lanterna stins\u0103. Cu m\u00e2na pe masa la care muncise o via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aia am \u00eenchis podul la loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar nu cu lac\u0103t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi am mers la recuperare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria st\u0103tea \u00een pat, mic\u0103 \u0219i fragil\u0103, dar cu ochii ei vii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea \u0219i i-am luat m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm fost \u00een pod.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a albit la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii \u00eenainte s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am str\u00e2ns-o mai tare de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u00ce\u021bi mul\u021bumesc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een hohote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu de fric\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een 52 de ani, nu mai era nicio u\u0219\u0103 \u00eencuiat\u0103 \u00eentre noi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
