Am \u00eentors pagina caietului cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scrisul Elenei era acela\u0219i pe care \u00eel v\u0103zusem de sute de ori pe bile\u021belele l\u0103sate \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

\u00cengrijit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cu litere u\u0219or \u00eenclinate spre dreapta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar cuvintele pe care le citeam acum nu sem\u0103nau cu nimic din ceea ce \u00eemi spusese vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAst\u0103zi l-am cunoscut pe Andrei. Are dou\u0103zeci \u0219i opt de ani \u0219i \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 par\u0103 mai sigur pe el dec\u00e2t este.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMi-a spus c\u0103 lucreaz\u0103 \u0219i c\u0103 lucrurile merg destul de bine. Dar i-am observat pantofii rup\u021bi \u0219i felul \u00een care a privit farfuria cu m\u00e2ncare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

M-am oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi aminteam perfect prima noastr\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lnire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena m\u0103 invitase la mas\u0103 dup\u0103 ce o ajutasem s\u0103 duc\u0103 ni\u0219te cump\u0103r\u0103turi p\u00e2n\u0103 acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e2ncasem aproape f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 respir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi fusese at\u00e2t de foame, \u00eenc\u00e2t abia reu\u0219isem s\u0103 m\u0103 prefac c\u0103 nu m\u0103 gr\u0103besc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am continuat s\u0103 citesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

\u201eNu cred c\u0103 b\u0103iatul acesta are unde s\u0103 doarm\u0103. \u0218i cred c\u0103 \u00eei este prea ru\u0219ine s\u0103 recunoasc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u0218tiuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenc\u0103 de atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eentors pagina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

\u201eAst\u0103zi m-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 locuiesc singur\u0103. Apoi a vrut s\u0103 \u0219tie dac\u0103 am copii \u0219i cine m\u0103 viziteaz\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi aminteam \u0219i acea conversa\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00centreb\u0103rile mele nu fuseser\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voiam s\u0103 aflu dac\u0103 avea mo\u0219tenitori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dac\u0103 exista cineva care mi-ar putea sta \u00een cale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Elena continuase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eNu este greu s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg ce caut\u0103. Dar uneori oamenii cer lucrurile gre\u0219ite pentru c\u0103 nu \u0219tiu cum s\u0103 cear\u0103 ceea ce le lipse\u0219te cu adev\u0103rat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am ridicat privirea spre avocat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ea \u0219tia c\u0103 dormeam \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Domnul Ionescu a \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 \u0218i \u0219tia de datorii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tia mai multe dec\u00e2t crede\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am uitat din nou la caiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe pagina urm\u0103toare, Elena scrisese despre ziua \u00een care o cerusem \u00een c\u0103s\u0103torie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAndrei m-a cerut ast\u0103zi de so\u021bie. Este un b\u0103iat frumos, dar ochii lui sunt plini de team\u0103. Nu cred c\u0103 m\u0103 iube\u0219te. Nu \u00eenc\u0103. Poate c\u0103 nici nu m\u0103 va iubi vreodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

Am sim\u021bit o durere ascu\u021bit\u0103 \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eNu sunt naiv\u0103. Am \u0219aptezeci \u0219i unu de ani \u0219i am tr\u0103it destul c\u00e2t s\u0103 recunosc disperarea c\u00e2nd o v\u0103d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eentors pagina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eDar dac\u0103 pot s\u0103-i ofer un loc sigur \u00een care s\u0103-\u0219i recapete demnitatea, poate c\u0103 asta va conta mai mult dec\u00e2t motivul pentru care a venit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am l\u0103sat caietul pe birou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiam ce s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toat\u0103 c\u0103snicia noastr\u0103 fusesem convins c\u0103 eu sunt cel care de\u021bine controlul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u0103 Elena era o femeie singur\u0103, u\u0219or de p\u0103c\u0103lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u0103 nu \u00een\u021belegea de ce un b\u0103rbat at\u00e2t de t\u00e2n\u0103r ar vrea s\u0103 se c\u0103s\u0103toreasc\u0103 cu ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar \u00eencepusem s\u0103 realizez c\u0103 eu fusesem cel care nu \u00een\u021belesese nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mai este ceva, a spus avocatul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ar\u0103tat spre celelalte caiete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Elena a scris aproape \u00een fiecare s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat al doilea caiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primele pagini erau pline de observa\u021bii despre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu despre banii mei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu despre lucrurile pe care i le ceream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ci despre obiceiurile mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAndrei nu poate dormi dac\u0103 u\u0219a dormitorului este \u00eenchis\u0103 complet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAst\u0103zi a tres\u0103rit c\u00e2nd a auzit un zgomot puternic pe strad\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eC\u00e2nd \u00eei este foame, devine irascibil, dar nu recunoa\u0219te niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eNu \u0219tie s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 un cadou f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se simt\u0103 dator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femeia aceea m\u0103 observase cu o aten\u021bie pe care nimeni nu mi-o oferise vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am continuat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eI-am cump\u0103rat pantofi noi. A \u00eencercat s\u0103 par\u0103 indiferent, dar l-am v\u0103zut seara cum \u00eei privea \u00eenainte s\u0103-i pun\u0103 \u00een dulap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am amintit noaptea aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena dormea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu scosesem pantofii din cutie \u0219i \u00eei a\u0219ezasem pe podea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cei privisem minute \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era prima pereche nou\u0103 pe care o aveam dup\u0103 aproape doi ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar nu-i mul\u021bumisem niciodat\u0103 cum trebuia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eentors \u00eenc\u0103 o pagin\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAst\u0103zi a r\u00e2s la o glum\u0103 de-a mea. A fost prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd l-am v\u0103zut r\u00e2z\u00e2nd f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se for\u021beze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O lacrim\u0103 mi-a c\u0103zut pe h\u00e2rtie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u0219ters-o repede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu voiam s\u0103 stric caietul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era unul dintre pu\u021binele lucruri care \u00eemi mai r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 de la ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 De ce a scris toate acestea? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocatul a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut c\u00e2teva clipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cred c\u0103 voia s\u0103 v\u0103 arate ceva ce dumneavoastr\u0103 nu reu\u0219ea\u021bi s\u0103 vede\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am continuat s\u0103 citesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen al treilea caiet, tonul Elenei se schimbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scria mai mult despre s\u0103n\u0103tatea ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre durerile care \u00eencepuser\u0103 s\u0103 apar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar aproape fiecare pagin\u0103 con\u021binea \u0219i c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri despre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAndrei a \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 mi-am luat medicamentele.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am amintit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La \u00eenceput o f\u0103cusem doar pentru c\u0103 nu voiam s\u0103 se agraveze starea ei \u00eenainte s\u0103-mi pun lucrurile \u00een ordine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar, cu timpul, devenise un obicei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAst\u0103zi mi-a f\u0103cut ceai f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i cer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201eA reparat robinetul din buc\u0103t\u0103rie. S-a enervat de trei ori, dar nu s-a l\u0103sat p\u00e2n\u0103 nu a reu\u0219it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u00cemi aminteam perfect robinetul acela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eC\u00e2nd am avut febr\u0103, a stat l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021ba. Credea c\u0103 dorm. Dar l-am auzit \u00eentreb\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de c\u00e2teva ori dac\u0103 sunt bine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenchis caietul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu mai puteam continua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi aminteam \u0219i acea noapte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena tremura sub p\u0103tur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu \u00eei schimbasem compresele \u0219i \u00eei adusesem ap\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu m\u0103 g\u00e2ndisem atunci la mo\u0219tenire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu m\u0103 g\u00e2ndisem la bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u0103 speriase g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 ar putea p\u0103\u021bi ceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar refuzasem s\u0103 recunosc asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nici m\u0103car fa\u021b\u0103 de mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domnul Ionescu mi-a \u00eentins un pahar cu ap\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Lua\u021bi-v\u0103 timpul de care ave\u021bi nevoie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am b\u0103ut c\u00e2teva \u00eenghi\u021bituri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mai este ceva \u00een cutie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 Un plic. \u0218i fotografia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat fotografia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era f\u0103cut\u0103 \u00een gr\u0103dina casei, \u00eentr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103 de var\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena st\u0103tea pe banc\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 trandafirii ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu eram \u00een spatele ei, cu o m\u00e2n\u0103 sprijinit\u0103 pe um\u0103rul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u00e2mbeam am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi aminteam ziua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un vecin venise \u00een vizit\u0103 \u0219i insistase s\u0103 ne fac\u0103 o fotografie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu m\u0103 gr\u0103beam s\u0103 plec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena m\u0103 rugase s\u0103 mai r\u0103m\u00e2n c\u00e2teva minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i acceptasem, de\u0219i eram iritat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acum priveam imaginea \u0219i observam ceva ce nu v\u0103zusem atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena se uita la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu la aparat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cu o expresie at\u00e2t de cald\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t mi-au dat din nou lacrimile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eentors fotografia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe spate scria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ePrima zi \u00een care Andrei a uitat s\u0103 se prefac\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu un pl\u00e2ns discret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu c\u00e2teva lacrimi pe care s\u0103 le pot ascunde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am pl\u00e2ns cu fa\u021ba \u00een palme, \u00een biroul unui avocat pe care abia \u00eel cuno\u0219team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru prima dat\u0103 de la moartea Elenei, am \u00een\u021beles ce pierdusem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu economiile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu posibilitatea de a tr\u0103i f\u0103r\u0103 griji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O pierdusem pe ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femeia care m\u0103 primise \u00een cas\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu aveam unde s\u0103 dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femeia care \u00eemi cump\u0103rase pantofi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 fac\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 simt umilit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femeia care \u00eemi l\u0103sase o geac\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femeia care m\u0103 privise cu bun\u0103tate chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd eu nu meritam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Domnule Andrei, a spus avocatul \u00eencet, mai ave\u021bi de citit scrisoarea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat plicul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe el scria simplu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ePentru so\u021bul meu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u0103mas mult timp privind acele trei cuvinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u021bul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u201eb\u0103iatul care a venit pentru bani\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u201eomul care m-a folosit\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u021bul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am desf\u0103cut plicul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen\u0103untru era o scrisoare de dou\u0103 pagini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 citesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eDragul meu Andrei,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dac\u0103 ai ajuns s\u0103 cite\u0219ti aceast\u0103 scrisoare, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu mai sunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probabil c\u0103 e\u0219ti sup\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poate dezam\u0103git.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poate te \u00eentrebi de ce nu \u021bi-am l\u0103sat casa \u0219i banii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vreau s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 m-am g\u00e2ndit mult la aceast\u0103 decizie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu am luat-o din r\u0103zbunare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i nici pentru c\u0103 a\u0219 fi vrut s\u0103 te pedepsesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa a apar\u021binut familiei mele \u00eenainte s\u0103 te cunosc. Am promis c\u0103 o voi l\u0103sa nepoatei mele, iar promisiunea aceea este important\u0103 pentru mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economiile le-am destinat oamenilor care \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nesc singuri, f\u0103r\u0103 sprijin \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 cineva care s\u0103-i \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 au m\u00e2ncat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar asta nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 nu m-am g\u00e2ndit la tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimpotriv\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am g\u00e2ndit la tine \u00een fiecare zi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Mi-am \u0219ters ochii \u0219i am continuat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAndrei, eu am \u0219tiut de la \u00eenceput c\u0103 nu te-ai apropiat de mine din dragoste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu sunt at\u00e2t de naiv\u0103 pe c\u00e2t ai crezut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am v\u0103zut felul \u00een care priveai casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am auzit \u00eentreb\u0103rile despre rudele mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i am \u00een\u021beles de ce te interesa at\u00e2t de mult dac\u0103 aveam economii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar am v\u0103zut \u0219i altceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am v\u0103zut un b\u0103iat speriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un om care ajunsese s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 singura modalitate de a supravie\u021bui este s\u0103 profite de cineva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu mi-am dorit s\u0103 te cump\u0103r cu bun\u0103tatea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i nu am crezut c\u0103 te voi schimba doar pentru c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi ofer o cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am vrut doar s\u0103 ai, poate pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, un loc \u00een care s\u0103 nu trebuiasc\u0103 s\u0103 te aperi de toat\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un loc \u00een care s\u0103 po\u021bi dormi lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un loc \u00een care s\u0103 nu-\u021bi fie ru\u0219ine c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi este foame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i, dac\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi ai fi ales s\u0103 pleci, a\u0219 fi acceptat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 dragostea nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 \u021bii un om l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine cu for\u021ba.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am oprit din citit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocatul privea discret spre fereastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am continuat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201e\u0218tii ce mi-a\u0219 fi dorit s\u0103-\u021bi pot spune c\u00e2t \u00eenc\u0103 eram \u00een via\u021b\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u0103 nu trebuia s\u0103 joci niciun rol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu trebuia s\u0103 te prefaci c\u0103 e\u0219ti un so\u021b perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu trebuia s\u0103-mi promi\u021bi lucruri \u00een care nu credeai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-ar fi fost suficient s\u0103 fii sincer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 eu nu aveam nevoie de un b\u0103rbat care s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 \u00een fiecare zi c\u0103 m\u0103 iube\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aveam nevoie de cineva cu care s\u0103 \u00eempart o mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De cineva care s\u0103 m\u0103 asculte uneori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De cineva care s\u0103 m\u0103 vad\u0103 ca pe un om, nu ca pe o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 care a\u0219teapt\u0103 s\u0103 moar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i, Andrei, au existat momente \u00een care chiar m-ai v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poate c\u0103 nu \u021bi-ai dat seama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar eu mi-am dat seama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201e\u00cen noaptea \u00een care am avut febr\u0103, ai stat l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu te-am rugat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu aveai nimic de c\u00e2\u0219tigat \u00een acel moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ai r\u0103mas pentru c\u0103 \u021bi-a p\u0103sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i c\u00e2nd ai reparat robinetul, de\u0219i erai obosit, ai f\u0103cut-o pentru c\u0103 voiai s\u0103-mi fie mie mai u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poate c\u0103 ai \u00eenceput aceast\u0103 c\u0103snicie din interes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar nu toate gesturile tale au fost f\u0103cute din interes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u021aine minte asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu e\u0219ti obligat s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i omul care ai fost \u00een ziua \u00een care ne-am cunoscut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am l\u0103sat scrisoarea pe birou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultima propozi\u021bie m\u0103 lovise mai puternic dec\u00e2t toate celelalte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu e\u0219ti obligat s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i omul care ai fost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am citit mai departe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201e\u00cen cutia aceasta \u021bi-am l\u0103sat caietele mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu ca s\u0103-\u021bi ar\u0103t c\u00e2t de bine te-am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i nici ca s\u0103 te fac s\u0103 te sim\u021bi vinovat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ci ca s\u0103 vezi c\u0103 via\u021ba ta a \u00eensemnat mai mult dec\u00e2t datoriile, gre\u0219elile \u0219i planurile pe care le-ai f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ai avut zile \u00een care ai fost bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zile \u00een care ai fost atent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zile \u00een care ai r\u00e2s sincer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zile \u00een care ai avut grij\u0103 de altcineva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i eu le-am p\u0103strat pe toate aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u021bi-am l\u0103sat o avere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar \u00ee\u021bi las dovada c\u0103 po\u021bi fi un om diferit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restul depinde de tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Te rog s\u0103 nu-\u021bi mai construie\u0219ti via\u021ba a\u0219tept\u00e2nd s\u0103 prime\u0219ti ceva de la moartea altcuiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construie\u0219te ceva al t\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munce\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gre\u0219e\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridic\u0103-te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i, \u00eentr-o zi, dac\u0103 vei iubi pe cineva, spune-i adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu a\u0219tepta s\u0103 fie prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cu drag,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiu c\u00e2t timp am stat a\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, avocatul a vorbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Elena a venit la mine cu c\u00e2teva luni \u00eenainte s\u0103 moar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 \u0218tia c\u0103 este bolnav\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tia c\u0103 are anumite probleme de s\u0103n\u0103tate \u0219i voia s\u0103-\u0219i pun\u0103 actele \u00een ordine. Dar nu cred c\u0103 se a\u0219tepta s\u0103 plece at\u00e2t de repede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eencuviin\u021bat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mi-a spus c\u0103 se teme pentru dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am clipit surprins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da. Se temea c\u0103, dac\u0103 ve\u021bi primi o sum\u0103 mare de bani f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 v\u0103 fi rezolvat problemele care v-au adus \u00een situa\u021bia aceea, ve\u021bi continua s\u0103 fugi\u021bi de propria via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit cutia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Avea dreptate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocatul nu a spus nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Eu chiar a\u0219teptam s\u0103 moar\u0103, am recunoscut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd rosteam acele cuvinte cu voce tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-a fost ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O ru\u0219ine at\u00e2t de puternic\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape nu puteam respira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i ea \u0219tia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domnul Ionescu a r\u0103spuns cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cred c\u0103 \u0219tia c\u0103 a\u021bi intrat \u00een c\u0103snicie cu anumite inten\u021bii. Dar numai dumneavoastr\u0103 pute\u021bi spune ce a\u021bi sim\u021bit cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi aminteam toate serile \u00een care Elena m\u0103 \u00eentrebase dac\u0103 am m\u00e2ncat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toate dimine\u021bile \u00een care \u00eemi preg\u0103tise cafeaua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toate momentele \u00een care a\u0219 fi putut s\u0103-i mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sau s\u0103 o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219ez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sau m\u0103car s\u0103-i spun c\u0103 m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 este l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar nu o f\u0103cusem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 m\u0103 temeam c\u0103, dac\u0103 recunosc c\u0103 \u021bin la ea, va trebui s\u0103 recunosc \u0219i c\u00e2t de ur\u00e2t m\u0103 purtasem la \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat cutia \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pot s\u0103 le p\u0103strez?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocatul a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru asta vi le-a l\u0103sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am ie\u0219it din birou cu cutia lipit\u0103 de piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu aveam o cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu aveam o avere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 aveam datorii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar aveam ceva ce nu mai avusesem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O imagine sincer\u0103 a omului care devenisem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i a omului care a\u0219 fi putut fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, am \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi schimb via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu dintr-odat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu ca \u00eentr-un film \u00een care cineva cite\u0219te o scrisoare \u0219i devine peste noapte un om perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fost mult mai greu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am c\u0103utat un loc de munc\u0103 stabil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am acceptat un post \u00eentr-un depozit, de\u0219i salariul nu era mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-am f\u0103cut un plan pentru datorii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am renun\u021bat la cheltuielile inutile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 locuiesc \u00eentr-o camer\u0103 \u00eenchiriat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era mic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avea un pat \u00eengust, un dulap \u0219i o fereastr\u0103 care d\u0103dea spre curtea interioar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar era pl\u0103tit\u0103 din banii mei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu mai trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 ag\u0103\u021b de via\u021ba altcuiva ca s\u0103 supravie\u021buiesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen fiecare sear\u0103, \u00eenainte de culcare, citeam c\u00e2teva pagini din caietele Elenei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uneori g\u0103seam observa\u021bii amuzante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alteori, r\u00e2nduri care m\u0103 f\u0103ceau s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar nu le-am mai citit niciodat\u0103 ca pe o pedeaps\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le citeam ca pe o conversa\u021bie pe care nu apucasem s\u0103 o avem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, am luat leg\u0103tura cu nepoata Elenei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O chema Ioana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era femeia care mo\u0219tenise casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare m\u0103 privise cu aceea\u0219i r\u0103ceal\u0103 ca restul familiei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I-am cerut s\u0103 ne \u00eent\u00e2lnim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A acceptat cu re\u021binere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ne-am v\u0103zut \u00eentr-o cafenea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce vrei, Andrei? m-a \u00eentrebat direct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 S\u0103-mi cer iertare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A p\u0103rut surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 m-am apropiat de m\u0103tu\u0219a ta din motive egoiste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioana a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 ai crezut asta despre mine. \u0218i ai avut dreptate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am respirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dar vreau s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103, spre sf\u00e2r\u0219it, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u021bin la ea. Mai mult dec\u00e2t am avut curajul s\u0103 recunosc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioana m-a privit mult timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 M\u0103tu\u0219a Elena te-a iubit, a spus \u00een cele din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge g\u00e2tul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 \u0218i ne-a cerut s\u0103 nu te judec\u0103m doar dup\u0103 \u00eenceputul pove\u0219tii voastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioana \u0219i-a \u0219ters \u0219i ea o lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103 m\u0103 prefac c\u0103 nu m-a durut ce ai f\u0103cut. Dar m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 ai \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu vreau nimic de la tine. Nici casa, nici bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Am stat de vorb\u0103 aproape dou\u0103 ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-a povestit lucruri despre Elena pe care nu le \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre copil\u0103ria ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre primul so\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despre anii \u00een care r\u0103m\u0103sese singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i despre faptul c\u0103, dup\u0103 ce m\u0103 cunoscuse, \u00eencepuse s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 din nou despre viitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Spunea c\u0103 ai adus via\u021b\u0103 \u00een cas\u0103, mi-a m\u0103rturisit Ioana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 Iar eu credeam c\u0103 doar profit de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Poate c\u0103 am\u00e2ndoi a\u021bi primit ceva de la c\u0103snicia aceea, a r\u0103spuns Ioana. Dar numai tu po\u021bi decide ce faci mai departe cu ceea ce ai primit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au trecut doi ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ast\u0103zi am treizeci \u0219i doi de ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucrez \u00eentr-o firm\u0103 de transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am reu\u0219it s\u0103 achit cea mai mare parte a datoriilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locuiesc \u00eentr-un apartament mic, \u00eenchiriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu este luxos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu are gr\u0103dina Elenei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu are buc\u0103t\u0103ria ei luminoas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar este locul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i nu mai a\u0219tept s\u0103 moar\u0103 nimeni ca s\u0103-mi pot construi un viitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutia de pantofi se afl\u0103 pe raftul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu am schimbat-o cu una nou\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu am aruncat sfoara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu am reparat col\u021burile rupte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O p\u0103strez exact a\u0219a cum mi-a l\u0103sat-o Elena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uneori, c\u00e2nd am o zi grea, o deschid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scot fotografia din gr\u0103din\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i m\u0103 uit la femeia care a avut \u00eencredere c\u0103 pot deveni un om mai bun, chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd eu \u00eensumi nu credeam asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, am mers la cimitir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am dus un buchet de trandafiri albi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erau florile ei preferate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am cur\u0103\u021bat piatra funerar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am schimbat apa din vaz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi m-am a\u0219ezat pe banca din apropiere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Elena, am \u0219optit, \u00eemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e2ntul mi\u0219ca u\u0219or frunzele copacilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 nu \u021bi-am mul\u021bumit pentru pantofi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2014 \u0218i pentru geac\u0103. \u0218i pentru toate cinele pe care mi le-ai preg\u0103tit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am privit fotografia de pe cruce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 am \u00een\u021beles at\u00e2t de t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am r\u0103mas mult timp acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi am scos din buzunar o copie a ultimei pagini din scrisoarea ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O purtam cu mine de aproape doi ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era deja \u00eendoit\u0103 pe margini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am citit din nou cuvintele:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eNu e\u0219ti obligat s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i omul care ai fost \u00een ziua \u00een care ne-am cunoscut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eemp\u0103turit h\u00e2rtia \u0219i am pus-o la loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u00cencerc, Elena. \u00cen fiecare zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenainte s\u0103 plec, am atins u\u0219or piatra funerar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 Elena m-a iertat vreodat\u0103 pentru inten\u021biile mele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 m-a iubit \u00een ciuda lor sau dac\u0103 a sperat c\u0103, \u00eentr-o zi, voi \u00eenv\u0103\u021ba s\u0103 iubesc \u0219i eu f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tept ceva \u00een schimb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar \u0219tiu un lucru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am c\u0103s\u0103torit cu ea pentru c\u0103 voiam o cas\u0103.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i am pierdut-o \u00eenainte s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 ea fusese, de fapt, primul meu c\u0103min adev\u0103rat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu mi-a l\u0103sat banii pe care \u00eei a\u0219teptam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu mi-a l\u0103sat proprietatea pe care mi-o imaginasem a mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi-a l\u0103sat ceva ce nu se putea cump\u0103ra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dovada c\u0103 un om poate fi v\u0103zut cu toate defectele lui \u0219i totu\u0219i tratat cu bun\u0103tate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i c\u0103 bun\u0103tatea aceea nu trebuie s\u0103 fie o scuz\u0103 pentru a continua s\u0103 faci r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poate fi \u00eenceputul unei schimb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am intrat \u00een via\u021ba Elenei c\u0103ut\u00e2nd o mo\u0219tenire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar adev\u0103rata mo\u0219tenire a fost lec\u021bia pe care mi-a l\u0103sat-o: s\u0103 nu-mi mai cl\u0103desc fericirea pe pierderea altcuiva.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i pentru lec\u021bia aceasta voi fi recunosc\u0103tor c\u00e2t voi tr\u0103i.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
