M-am uitat la foaia galben\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 a\u0219ez. Tudor scrisese mai multe sume, una sub alta, iar \u00een partea de jos trasese o linie groas\u0103. Sub ea ap\u0103rea un total care m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103-mi apropii ochelarii de ochi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18.700 de lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce reprezint\u0103 suma asta? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela \u0219i-a \u0219ters obrajii cu dosul palmei. Tudor a tras un scaun, dar nu s-a a\u0219ezat p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu i-am f\u0103cut semn c\u0103 poate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sunt banii pe care \u00eei dator\u0103m \u00een urm\u0103toarele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, a r\u0103spuns el. Rate restante, dou\u0103 facturi, o datorie la un prieten \u0219i o plat\u0103 pe care trebuie s\u0103 o facem la banc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit din nou cifrele. L\u00e2ng\u0103 fiecare sum\u0103 era trecut\u0103 o dat\u0103, iar unele termene fuseser\u0103 \u00eencercuite cu ro\u0219u. Nu era o list\u0103 f\u0103cut\u0103 \u00een grab\u0103. Cineva st\u0103tuse mult timp \u00een fa\u021ba ei, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 o solu\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i ce leg\u0103tur\u0103 are asta cu mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Am crezut c\u0103, dac\u0103 v\u0103 muta\u021bi la noi \u0219i pl\u0103ti\u021bi chirie, ne putem acoperi o parte din cheltuieli. Iar dac\u0103 sta\u021bi cu copiii, Mihaela ar putea lucra mai multe ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am scos ochelarii \u0219i i-am a\u0219ezat pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Deci nu avea\u021bi nevoie s\u0103 locuiesc cu voi. Avea\u021bi nevoie de pensia mea \u0219i de timpul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niciunul nu a r\u0103spuns imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mam\u0103, nu a fost chiar a\u0219a\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Atunci explic\u0103-mi cum a fost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiica mea \u0219i-a \u00eempreunat m\u00e2inile. Avea treizeci \u0219i nou\u0103 de ani, dar \u00een clipa aceea sem\u0103na cu feti\u021ba care venea la mine c\u00e2nd f\u0103cea o prostie \u0219i nu \u0219tia cum s\u0103 recunoasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ne-am descurcat greu \u00een ultimele luni. Tudor a avut mai pu\u021bine ore la fabric\u0103, iar eu am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc mai mult pentru programul copiilor. Am tot crezut c\u0103 o s\u0103 recuper\u0103m. Dar n-am reu\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i de ce nu mi-ai spus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 mi-a fost ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit-o \u00eendelung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dar nu \u021bi-a fost ru\u0219ine s\u0103-mi ceri aproape jum\u0103tate din pensie pentru o camer\u0103 umed\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela \u0219i-a acoperit fa\u021ba cu palmele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor a intervenit \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ave\u021bi dreptate. Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 prezint lucrurile ca pe un aranjament avantajos pentru toat\u0103 lumea. Dar, \u00een realitate, voiam s\u0103 rezolv\u0103m problemele noastre cu banii dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am tras un scaun \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat. Nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptasem la o asemenea m\u0103rturisire. Crezusem c\u0103 veniser\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 certe pentru c\u0103 \u00eenchiriasem casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 De ce \u00eemi spune\u021bi toate astea acum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a ridicat capul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 Sofia m-a \u00eentrebat ieri dac\u0103 nu o mai iube\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am sim\u021bit o \u00een\u021bep\u0103tur\u0103 \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 M-a \u00eentrebat de ce nu mai vine la bunica. I-am spus c\u0103 e\u0219ti ocupat\u0103 cu mutatul, iar ea a zis c\u0103 poate e\u0219ti sup\u0103rat\u0103 pe ea pentru c\u0103 te-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 o s\u0103 dormi sub cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi aminteam perfect chipul nepoatei mele \u00een subsolul acela. Ochii ei mari, vocea curioas\u0103 \u0219i felul \u00een care \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nsese ursule\u021bul la piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sofia n-a f\u0103cut nimic gre\u0219it, am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu, mam\u0103. \u0218i tocmai de aceea mi-am dat seama c\u00e2t de ur\u00e2t m-am purtat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor a \u00eentors o pagin\u0103 din blocnotes. Pe urm\u0103toarea foaie scrisese trei cuvinte mari: \u201eCHELTUIELI DE REDUS\u201d. Sub ele erau trecute abonamente, cump\u0103r\u0103turi, rate \u0219i alte sume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m solu\u021bii care nu v\u0103 implic\u0103, a spus. Am vorbit la banc\u0103 despre restructurarea creditului. Am anulat c\u00e2teva cheltuieli \u0219i am pus camioneta la v\u00e2nzare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Camioneta? am \u00eentrebat surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor a \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Avem \u0219i ma\u0219ina Mihaelei. Nu ne trebuie dou\u0103 vehicule at\u00e2t de scumpe. Am cump\u0103rat-o pe asta crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 ne permitem, iar acum pl\u0103tim pentru decizia aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit spre fereastr\u0103, unde camioneta lui era parcat\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 gardul meu alb. O v\u0103zusem de multe ori str\u0103lucind \u00een fa\u021ba casei lor \u0219i nu-mi imaginasem c\u0103 \u00een spatele ei se ascundeau at\u00e2tea griji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 ave\u021bi probleme, am spus. Dar \u00eenc\u0103 nu \u00een\u021beleg de ce a trebuit s\u0103 m\u0103 \u021bine\u021bi zece zile departe de nepo\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 am fost sup\u0103rat\u0103. Mi-am spus c\u0103 ne-ai abandonat c\u00e2nd aveam nevoie de tine. Dar adev\u0103rul este c\u0103 nici m\u0103car nu te-am \u00eentrebat ce \u00ee\u021bi dore\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am uitat la fiica mea \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 de c\u00e2nd \u00eencepuse toat\u0103 povestea, i-am v\u0103zut ru\u0219inea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 simt nevoia s\u0103 o scutesc de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mihaela, te-am ajutat toat\u0103 via\u021ba. \u0218i o s\u0103 te ajut \u00een continuare c\u00e2nd pot. Dar asta nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103-mi dau pensia, timpul \u0219i lini\u0219tea doar pentru c\u0103 sunt mama ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu cred c\u0103 \u0219tii \u00eenc\u0103. Dar sper s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am l\u0103sat c\u00e2teva clipe de lini\u0219te \u00eentre noi. Afar\u0103, un camion \u00eenc\u0103rcat cu porumb a trecut \u00eencet spre siloz, iar geamurile au vibrat u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Vre\u021bi un ceai? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela m-a privit surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, mam\u0103. Mi-ar pl\u0103cea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am ridicat \u0219i am pus ibricul pe aragaz. Buc\u0103t\u0103ria mea era at\u00e2t de mic\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t abia \u00eenc\u0103peam trei oameni \u00een ea. Dar, \u00een timp ce preg\u0103team ceaiul, mi-am dat seama c\u0103 nu m\u0103 sim\u021beam deloc \u00eenghesuit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era casa mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i puteam primi pe cine doream, c\u00e2nd doream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am pus trei c\u0103ni pe mas\u0103 \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Acum vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 spun \u0219i eu ceva, am \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor \u0219i-a \u00eendreptat spatele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 V\u0103 ascult\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu m-am mutat aici ca s\u0103 v\u0103 pedepsesc. \u0218i nici ca s\u0103 v\u0103 demonstrez c\u0103 m\u0103 descurc f\u0103r\u0103 voi. Am ales casa aceasta pentru c\u0103, dup\u0103 moartea lui Dumitru, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentreb cine mai sunt eu atunci c\u00e2nd nu am pe cineva de \u00eengrijit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela m-a privit atent\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Patruzeci \u0219i ceva de ani am avut grij\u0103 de tat\u0103l t\u0103u, de tine, de gospod\u0103rie \u0219i de toate problemele care ap\u0103reau. N-am regretat asta. Dar acum am \u0219aizeci \u0219i \u0219apte de ani \u0219i nu \u0219tiu c\u00e2\u021bi ani buni mai am \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 beau cafeaua diminea\u021ba f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 gr\u0103besc. Vreau s\u0103 citesc o carte dac\u0103 am chef. Vreau s\u0103 merg la pia\u021b\u0103 sau s\u0103 stau pe prisp\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 simt c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 justific fiecare or\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu m-am g\u00e2ndit niciodat\u0103 la asta, a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu, draga mea. Tocmai asta m-a durut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen seara aceea am vorbit aproape dou\u0103 ore. Nu am rezolvat toate problemele, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp am discutat ca trei adul\u021bi, nu ca doi oameni care cereau \u0219i unul care trebuia s\u0103 accepte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenainte s\u0103 plece, Tudor a luat blocnotesul de pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Iudita, vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 spun ceva. Am fost nedrept cu dumneavoastr\u0103. Am f\u0103cut un calcul \u00een care am trecut banii \u0219i orele pe care le-am putea ob\u021bine de la dumneavoastr\u0103, dar n-am pus nic\u0103ieri ceea ce a\u021bi sacrificat deja pentru familia asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 recuno\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu v\u0103 cer s\u0103 ne ierta\u021bi imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nici nu pot promite asta. Dar putem \u00eencepe de aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at \u00eenainte s\u0103 ias\u0103. A fost o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219are lung\u0103, st\u00e2ngace, de parc\u0103 am\u00e2ndou\u0103 uitaser\u0103m cum s\u0103 ne apropiem f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ne r\u0103nim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pot s\u0103 vin m\u00e2ine cu copiii? m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sigur. Dup\u0103 pr\u00e2nz, dac\u0103 vre\u021bi. Diminea\u021b\u0103 vreau s\u0103 merg la pia\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a r\u00e2s printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bine, mam\u0103. Dup\u0103 pr\u00e2nz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dup\u0103 ce au plecat, am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva minute \u00een prag. Aerul mirosea a porumb uscat \u0219i a p\u0103m\u00e2nt rece. Dinspre siloz se auzea zgomotul metalic al unui utilaj, iar pe strad\u0103 nu trecea aproape nimeni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenchis u\u0219a \u0219i am r\u0103sucit cheia \u00een broasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu din team\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ci pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi pl\u0103cea sentimentul c\u0103 eu hot\u0103ram c\u00e2nd o deschid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doua zi, pu\u021bin dup\u0103 ora dou\u0103, am auzit glasurile copiilor \u00eenainte s\u0103 v\u0103d ma\u0219ina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Buniiii!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sofia a alergat spre mine cu ursule\u021bul ei de plu\u0219 \u00eentr-o m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i un desen \u00een cealalt\u0103. Fratele ei mai mare, Rare\u0219, venea \u00een urm\u0103, duc\u00e2nd o pung\u0103 cu biscui\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am aplecat \u0219i i-am str\u00e2ns pe am\u00e2ndoi \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mi-a fost dor de voi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i nou\u0103! a spus Sofia. Mami a zis c\u0103 ai casa ta acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 A\u0219a este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feti\u021ba s-a uitat spre c\u0103su\u021ba alb\u0103, apoi spre leag\u0103nul de pe prisp\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i nu mai dormi sub cas\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu, scumpa mea. Dorm \u00eentr-un pat adev\u0103rat, l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pot s\u0103-l v\u0103d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bine\u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copiii au intrat curio\u0219i, cercet\u00e2nd fiecare col\u021bi\u0219or. Sofia a declarat imediat c\u0103 locuin\u021ba era \u201eo cas\u0103 de poveste\u201d, iar Rare\u0219 a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 putea s\u0103 m\u0103 ajute s\u0103 repar balamaua por\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a r\u0103mas \u00een u\u0219\u0103, privindu-ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 E frumos aici, mam\u0103, a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mie \u00eemi place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cred c\u0103 \u00eencepe s\u0103-mi plac\u0103 \u0219i mie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen dup\u0103-amiaza aceea am m\u00e2ncat biscui\u021bi, am b\u0103ut limonad\u0103 \u0219i am stat pe prisp\u0103. Copiii s-au jucat \u00een curtea mic\u0103, iar eu i-am privit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 preg\u0103tesc cina pentru \u0219ase persoane sau s\u0103 sp\u0103l un munte de haine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd s-a f\u0103cut ora cinci, Mihaela a \u00eenceput s\u0103 str\u00e2ng\u0103 juc\u0103riile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Hai, copii. Bunica trebuie s\u0103 se odihneasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am ridicat surprins\u0103 privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu mai auzisem de mult cuvintele acelea din gura fiicei mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mai putem veni? a \u00eentrebat Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Oric\u00e2nd stabilim \u00eempreun\u0103, i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feti\u021ba a \u00eencuviin\u021bat foarte serioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Atunci o s\u0103 te sun \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u00e2s cu to\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dup\u0103 plecarea lor, am intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am observat c\u0103 Mihaela sp\u0103lase c\u0103nile \u0219i \u0219tersese masa. Nu era un gest extraordinar, dar pentru mine \u00eensemna mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era prima vizit\u0103 \u00een care nu r\u0103m\u0103sesem singur\u0103 s\u0103 str\u00e2ng dup\u0103 toat\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen urm\u0103toarele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, lucrurile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se schimbe treptat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tudor a v\u00e2ndut camioneta \u0219i a folosit banii pentru a achita una dintre datoriile urgente. Apoi a discutat cu banca despre un plan de rambursare pe care \u00eel puteau sus\u021bine. Mihaela \u0219i-a reorganizat programul de lucru, iar pentru copii au g\u0103sit o solu\u021bie care combina programul \u0219colar, ajutorul ocazional al unei vecine \u0219i timpul petrecut cu p\u0103rin\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu le-a fost u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au trebuit s\u0103 renun\u021be la c\u00e2teva lucruri cu care se obi\u0219nuiser\u0103. Au \u00eenceput s\u0103 cumpere mai atent \u0219i s\u0103 discute deschis despre cheltuieli, \u00een loc s\u0103 le ascund\u0103 unul de cel\u0103lalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar, spre surprinderea mea, nu mi-au mai cerut bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, Mihaela m-a sunat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mam\u0103, ai putea s\u0103 stai cu copiii miercuri dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103? Am o programare la medic, iar Tudor este la serviciu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am uitat \u00een calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pot, dar numai p\u00e2n\u0103 la \u0219ase. Seara am un curs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce curs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 De pictur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La cel\u0103lalt cap\u0103t al firului s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tu? La pictur\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da. \u00centotdeauna mi-am dorit s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mam\u0103, nici nu \u0219tiam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nici eu nu \u0219tiam dac\u0103 o s\u0103-mi plac\u0103. Dar am hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eencerc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Atunci miercuri vin dup\u0103 copii \u00eenainte de \u0219ase. Promit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i chiar a\u0219a a f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La \u00eenceput, cursul de pictur\u0103 mi s-a p\u0103rut o idee caraghioas\u0103. St\u0103team la mas\u0103 cu oameni mai tineri, \u021bin\u00e2nd pensula prea str\u00e2ns \u0219i \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 desenez o can\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 par\u0103 str\u00e2mb\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar profesoara avea r\u0103bdare. Mi-a spus c\u0103 nu trebuia s\u0103 demonstrez nim\u0103nui nimic \u0219i c\u0103 puteam s\u0103 pictez doar pentru pl\u0103cerea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenceput cu flori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi am pictat copaci, case \u0219i c\u00e2mpuri de gr\u00e2u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00centr-o sear\u0103, am \u00eencercat s\u0103 pictez silozul pe care \u00eel vedeam de pe prisp\u0103. Cerul era portocaliu, iar camioanele p\u0103reau ni\u0219te juc\u0103rii mici a\u0219ezate l\u00e2ng\u0103 cl\u0103direa uria\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd am terminat, m-am uitat la tablou \u0219i am sim\u021bit o bucurie pe care nu o mai tr\u0103isem de ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u0103cusem ceva doar pentru mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu pentru so\u021bul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu pentru fiica mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu pentru nepo\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen decembrie, domnul Br\u00e2ndu\u0219 a trecut pe la mine cu o pung\u0103 de mere \u0219i c\u00e2teva lemne pentru soba mic\u0103 din buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cum v\u0103 descurca\u021bi, doamn\u0103 Iudita?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Foarte bine. Casa e mai c\u0103lduroas\u0103 dec\u00e2t pare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 M\u0103 bucur. Sincer, nu credeam c\u0103 o s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ne\u021bi prea mult. Majoritatea oamenilor vor ceva mai mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit \u00een jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dou\u0103 camere, o baie mic\u0103, o buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u00een care abia \u00eenc\u0103peau dou\u0103 scaune \u0219i o prisp\u0103 cu un leag\u0103n vechi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Eu am avut o cas\u0103 mare, domnule Br\u00e2ndu\u0219. Dar nu m\u0103rimea casei \u00ee\u021bi aduce lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u0103rbatul a \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Asta a\u0219a e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenainte de Cr\u0103ciun, Mihaela m-a invitat la ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mam\u0103, anul acesta vrem s\u0103 facem noi masa. Tu s\u0103 vii doar ca musafir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i dac\u0103 vreau s\u0103 aduc o pr\u0103jitur\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Atunci aduci una. Dar numai dac\u0103 ai chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenc\u0103lze\u0219te inima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen ziua de Cr\u0103ciun, am ajuns la ei pu\u021bin dup\u0103 pr\u00e2nz. Copiii au alergat spre mine, iar Tudor mi-a luat paltonul \u0219i l-a a\u0219ezat \u00een cuier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masa era deja preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela g\u0103tise sarmale, friptur\u0103 \u0219i o pr\u0103jitur\u0103 cu mere. Nu toate \u00eei ie\u0219iser\u0103 perfect, dar m\u00e2ncarea era bun\u0103, iar atmosfera era lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dup\u0103 ce am terminat de m\u00e2ncat, Tudor a \u00eenceput s\u0103 str\u00e2ng\u0103 farfuriile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 L\u0103sa\u021bi, m\u0103 ocup eu, a spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u0103mas pe scaun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La \u00eenceput m-am sim\u021bit ciudat. M\u00e2inile \u00eemi veneau singure s\u0103 adune tac\u00e2murile \u0219i s\u0103 duc\u0103 vasele la chiuvet\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar apoi mi-am amintit c\u0103 eram musafir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i m-am l\u0103sat s\u0103 fiu musafir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mai t\u00e2rziu, c\u00e2nd copiii se jucau l\u00e2ng\u0103 brad, Mihaela s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mam\u0103, pot s\u0103 te \u00eentreb ceva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sigur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ai fost foarte sup\u0103rat\u0103 pe mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit-o cu aten\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, draga mea. Am fost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar vreau s\u0103 \u00een\u021belegi ceva. Nu m-a durut doar suma aceea de bani. M-a durut c\u0103 ai crezut c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc ca s\u0103 am un loc \u00een familia ta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mihaela \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu m-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 a\u0219a o s\u0103 sim\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tocmai de aceea trebuie s\u0103 vorbim mai mult. Nu vreau s\u0103 ghice\u0219ti ce simt. \u0218i nici eu nu vreau s\u0103 ghicesc ce probleme ave\u021bi voi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiica mea m-a luat de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Promit c\u0103 o s\u0103 \u00eencerc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am str\u00e2ns-o u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 At\u00e2t \u00ee\u021bi cer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenainte s\u0103 plec, Sofia mi-a adus un cadou \u00eempachetat \u00eentr-o h\u00e2rtie ro\u0219ie, lipit\u0103 cu prea mult scotch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 E de la mine, buni!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am desf\u0103cut pachetul cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen\u0103untru era un desen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O c\u0103su\u021b\u0103 alb\u0103, cu un acoperi\u0219 ro\u0219u, o prisp\u0103 \u0219i un leag\u0103n. \u00cen fa\u021ba ei se aflau trei personaje desenate cu creioane colorate: o femeie cu p\u0103rul c\u0103runt \u0219i doi copii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deasupra scria, cu litere mari \u0219i str\u00e2mbe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eCASA BUNICII\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi dau lacrimile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 E minunat, Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i am desenat u\u0219a mare, ca s\u0103 putem veni \u00een vizit\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 O s\u0103 ave\u021bi mereu loc \u00een inima mea, scumpa mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi m-am uitat spre Mihaela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dar la u\u0219\u0103 o s\u0103 suna\u021bi \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u00e2s cu to\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen martie, c\u00e2nd s-au \u00eemplinit doi ani de la moartea lui Dumitru, am mers singur\u0103 la cimitir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am dus un buchet de flori albe \u0219i am cur\u0103\u021bat cu grij\u0103 piatra funerar\u0103. Apoi m-am a\u0219ezat pe banca de l\u00e2ng\u0103 morm\u00e2nt \u0219i i-am povestit tot ce se \u00eent\u00e2mplase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre c\u0103su\u021ba din spatele silozului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre cearta cu Mihaela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre Tudor \u0219i blocnotesul lui galben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre cursul de pictur\u0103 \u0219i despre nepo\u021bii care veneau acum \u00een vizit\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 ca eu s\u0103 fiu obligat\u0103 s\u0103-i \u00eengrijesc patru zile pe s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tii, Dumitre, am spus \u00eencet, cred c\u0103 \u021bi-ar fi pl\u0103cut locul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e2ntul mi\u0219ca u\u0219or florile de l\u00e2ng\u0103 piatr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Are o prisp\u0103 mic\u0103 \u0219i un leag\u0103n. Diminea\u021ba miroase a cafea, iar seara se aud camioanele de la siloz. Nu e mare lucru, dar este al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am \u0219ters o lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mi-a fost greu f\u0103r\u0103 tine. \u00cenc\u0103 \u00eemi este. Dar \u00eencep s\u0103 cred c\u0103 pot avea o via\u021b\u0103 frumoas\u0103 \u0219i de acum \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u0103mas acolo c\u00e2teva minute, apoi m-am ridicat \u0219i am plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen acea sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd m-am \u00eentors acas\u0103, am g\u0103sit un plic mic \u00een cutia po\u0219tal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era de la Mihaela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen\u0103untru se afla o fotografie cu nepo\u021bii mei, f\u0103cut\u0103 pe prispa c\u0103su\u021bei. Pe spate, fiica mea scrisese c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMam\u0103, \u00ee\u021bi mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 m-ai \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva ce ar fi trebuit s\u0103 \u0219tiu deja: dragostea nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 avem dreptul la timpul \u0219i banii cuiva. \u00censeamn\u0103 s\u0103 ne respect\u0103m unii pe al\u021bii. Te iubim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am citit biletul de dou\u0103 ori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi l-am a\u0219ezat pe raft, l\u00e2ng\u0103 fotografia lui Dumitru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen acea noapte, am stat pe leag\u0103nul de pe prisp\u0103 cu o p\u0103tur\u0103 peste genunchi \u0219i o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silozul era luminat, iar c\u00e2teva camioane a\u0219teptau \u00eenc\u0103 la c\u00e2ntar. Cerul era limpede \u0219i rece, iar de undeva, din dep\u0103rtare, se auzea un c\u00e2ine l\u0103tr\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am g\u00e2ndit la ziua \u00een care Tudor \u00eemi \u00eempinsese foaia aceea peste masa din buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.600 de lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\u00e2t consideraser\u0103 ei c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc pentru a locui \u00eentr-un subsol \u0219i a avea grij\u0103 de nepo\u021bii mei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiuser\u0103 atunci c\u0103 oferta aceea avea s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eemping\u0103 spre una dintre cele mai importante decizii din via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit cele dou\u0103 chei a\u0219ezate pe m\u0103su\u021ba de l\u00e2ng\u0103 leag\u0103n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una pentru u\u0219a din fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cealalt\u0103 pentru cea din spate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dou\u0103 chei obi\u0219nuite, prinse de un inel metalic ieftin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar pentru mine valorau mai mult dec\u00e2t orice cadou scump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi aminteau c\u0103 nu eram o povar\u0103, o bon\u0103 gratuit\u0103 sau o pensie din care al\u021bii puteau face calcule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eram Iudita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O femeie de \u0219aizeci \u0219i \u0219apte de ani care muncise, iubise, crescuse un copil \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i \u00eengropase so\u021bul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i care, dup\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103 petrecut\u0103 av\u00e2nd grij\u0103 de ceilal\u021bi, descoperise c\u0103 avea voie s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 \u0219i de ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu-mi pierdusem familia atunci c\u00e2nd refuzasem s\u0103 locuiesc \u00een subsol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le oferisem tuturor \u0219ansa s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m o alt\u0103 form\u0103 de iubire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una \u00een care ajutorul era oferit din inim\u0103, nu cerut ca o datorie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una \u00een care timpul petrecut \u00eempreun\u0103 era o bucurie, nu o obliga\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
