(Desigur, în caietul mamei nu se încheie aøa, pentru cæ acolo nu e o poveste,ci, de fapt, ea era fetifla de øapte ani, iar cînd traverseazæ în fugæ stradacu patru benzi pærinflii ei încæ nu au sosit cu broscufla dupæ ea, dar bærbatulnu a mai urmærit-o, øi pe urmæ aude totuøi cumva clinchetul broscuflei, dedata aceasta de-adeværatelea, øi nu îndræzneøte sæ le povesteascæ pærinflilorce s-a întîmplat, deoarece îi e ruøine øi fiindcæ pærinflii ei se certau în legæturæcu ceva. Mama øi Tata se certau øi ei mult. În cele din urmæ, mama aplecat în stræinætate cu broscufla – acum un an – øi nici mæcar nu ne sunæ.Ziua mea e în øase zile. Pînæ atunci, sigur se întoarce.)03.05. Mama a murit acum un an. S-a sinucis. Øi-a stropit maøina cu benzinæ,s-a aøezat înæuntru øi i-a dat foc. Am gæsit ræmæøiflele broscuflei pe undrum forestier, la douæzeci de kilometri de aici. Am cæutat-o mai mult deo sæptæmînæ. Dorkæi i-am spus cæ a plecat într-o excursie. La început øi noiam crezut asta. Dar deøi tata dædea telefoane, nimeni nu øtia nimic de ea.Dupæ aceea, a venit vestea cæ au gæsit o maøinæ complet distrusæ. De aicideja a mers uøor, nu mulfli mai aveau broscufle aøa bætrîne, în plus clubulfline øi evidenfla lor. Doar a mamei lipsea. Cred cæ sinuciderea e o laøitate.Luni, 6 martie. Kati spune (Kati e colega mea de bancæ) cæ mama nu va venide ziua mea pentru cæ a murit. Øi mai spune cæ øi ea abia apucæ sæ-l vadæpe tatæl ei, deoarece el cælætoreøte mult, dar e adeværat cæ atunci cînd vineacasæ îi aduce øi multe cadouri. Kati are multe lucruri ca lumea, deøi nu sîntpe gustul meu. Bæieflilor le place însæ foarte mult øi tofli vor sæ umble cu ea.Cu mine nimeni. În pauzæ, mai degrabæ am vorbit cu Vali. Vali e de la casade copii, aratæ de fapt ca un bæiat, pærul îi e ca øi blana de cîine, øi aleargæfoarte repede øi poate sæ facæ orice exercifliu de gimnasticæ repede øi bine.Dar nu învaflæ bine. Dacæ ar fi în clasa noastræ, aø sta cu ea øi aø ajuta-o. Darîncæ e doar pe-a doua. Azi mi-a spus cum a ajuns orfanæ. Tatæl ei a murit,cînd ea avea abia trei luni, iar mama ei a læsat-o la orfelinat, deoarece a plecatsæ lucreze în stræinætate, unde munceøte din greu. Îmi închipui cæ la orfelinatnu-i prea plæcut, deøi Vali nu spune multe despre asta. Ridicæ dinumeri øi loveøte o piatræ. Cred cæ i-au interzis sæ se plîngæ. Dar voi face cercetæriîn privinfla asta. (Deocamdatæ n-am spus nimænui, dar m-am decis,cînd voi fi mare, o sæ mæ fac detectiv.)03.06. Caietele mamei erau pline de propoziflii stræine. Zicale deøtepte,pe care Mama nu le-a putut urma niciodatæ. Propriile ei propoziflii erau desprelucruri pe care nu le-a putut urma. „Dacæ ne læsæm doborîte pînæ-nrafliune puræ, nu vom cunoaøte suferinflæ“ – acesta e un vers dintr-o poeziede György Petri. „Suferinfla cobailor se scurge încet în viefli omeneøti salvateinteligent“ (Péter Nádas). „Ne trimitem copiii la øcoalæ pentru a devenila fel de respingætori precum adulflii pe care îi întîlnim zilnic pe stradæ“(Thomas Bernhard). „Putem pæcætui gîndind, dar niciodatæ nu putem facefapte bune“ (Talmud?). Iatæ cum sunæ propozifliile ei: „Nu am o limbæ maternæ.Ar fi o limbæ orfanæ, dacæ ar fi vreuna“. Multe propoziflii erau într-olimbæ stræinæ, cum ar fi englezæ, francezæ, germanæ, românæ. Cele franfluzeøtisînt cele mai bune. M-am hotærît sæ învæfl francezæ timp de 20 de minuteîn fiecare zi.Marfli, 7 martie. Deja mi-e somn, nici nu am ce sæ scriu, ziua s-a scurs.03.07. Uræsc cînd se ceartæ adulflii. Bunica îi spune tot timpul lui tata cæ artrebui sæ se cæsætoreascæ cu femeia asta sau aia. Øi asta pentru cæ ajutæ cîtpoate de mult, dar are doar o viaflæ øi cineva trebuie sæ le poarte de grijæshe crossed the street, her parents still didn’t show up but the man did notfollow her either and in the end she had heard that tinkling sound for real,and had no guts to tell her parents about what had happened because shefelt ashamed and because her parents were arguing about something. Momand Dad also used to argue a lot. In the end mom went abroad with the beetle– a year ago – and she doesn’t even call us. My birthday is in six days.She’ll come home, for sure, by then.)03.05. Mother died a year ago. She killed herself. She sprinkled her car withgas in an out, and it all went up in flames with her sitting in it. We found theremains of the beetle on a forest road, twenty kilometres from here. We hadbeen looking for her for over a week then. We told Dorka she went for a trip.At first we thought she really did. Dad made some phone calls, but peopleknew nothing about her. Then news came of a totally burnt down car. Fromthat point on it was really easy, only few people had such beetles and the clubknew about each. The only missing car was Mom’s car. I think suicide is cowardly.March the 6th, Monday. Kati says (Kati is my desk mate) Mother won’t comefor my birthday because she is dead. She also says she doesn’t really seemuch of her Dad because he travels a lot but he always brings her loads ofpresents. Kati has cool things, not in my taste, though. Boys fancy her, they allwant her for a girlfriend. Nobody wants me. I had a talk with Vali during thebreak. Vali is an orphanage girl, actually she looks like a boy, her hair is like adog’s fur, she can run really fast, and she can perform gym exercises verywell. But she is a lousy pupil. I’d sit with her and help her, if she were myclassmate. But she is only second grade yet. Today she told me how sheended up in the orphanage. Her dad died when she was three months old andher mother consigned her to the orphanage because she went to work abroadand her job is a tough one. I imagine living at the orphanage is everything butpleasant, even if Vali doesn’t say much about it. She shakes her shoulder andkicks a pebble. I guess they forbade complaints there. I will make investigationsabout that. (I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I have decided to becomea detective when I grow up.)03.06. Mom’s notebooks were full of foreign sentences. Clever sentences towhich Mother could never comply. Her own sentences were all about thingshe couldn’t comply with. “There is no harm for sheer intellect” – this is a linefrom a poem by György Petri. “The suffering of guinea-pigs slowly leaks intocleverly rescued human lives” (Péter Nádas). “We send our children to schoolto become as repugnant as grownups we meet daily in the street” (ThomasBernhard). “One may sin in thought, but never do good” (Talmud?). This ishow her sentences sound like: “I have no mother-tongue. It would be anorphan-tongue, if it were any.” Many phrases were in a foreign language, likeEnglish, French, German, Romanian. French phrases are best. I decided tolearn French for 20 minutes every day.March the 7th, Tuesday. I am so sleepy, there’s nothing to write, the dayswam off.03.07. I hate it when grownups quarrel. Grandma keeps telling Dad he shouldmarry this or that woman. Because she helps as much as she can but she hasonly got one life to live and someone should mind these poor orphans. Thesepoor orphans are us, Dorka and me. Well, she uses the French orphelins, sothat we don’t understand. I didn’t hear much of them shouting, I closed mydoor and turned the music real loud. They are so boring, going over the samestuff again and again. Grandma saying she had known it would go wrong at126

Ei bine, ea o spuneîn francezæ, orphelins, aøa încît noi sæ nu înflelegem. fiipetele abia le-am auzit:am închis uøa, am dat muzica tare. Sînt atît de plictisitori, mereu spun aceleaøilucruri. Bunica mea spunea cæ, deja de cînd a væzut-o prima datæ pemaicæ-mea, øtia cæ nu se va sfîrøi bine. Tatæl meu îi cere sæ observe odatæcæ el e adult øi sæ nu îi mai otræveascæ viafla. La cuvîntul otravæ, bunicæ-meaînnebuneøte. Dupæ aceea obosesc, bunica face præjituri, eu øi tata adoræmpræjiturile astea, Dorka nici nu le gustæ. Am decis sæ-i dau Dorkæi machetuflaPorsche, pe care mi-o cere de atît de multæ vreme.Miercuri, 8 martie. Ziua Femeii, am primit, de la Tata øi de la Ádám, într-unghiveci mic, viorele. Mov, culoarea mea preferatæ. Dupæ-masæ, dupæ lecflii,am scos, în secret, un alt caiet de-al mamei, unul albastru. Mama îøi notavisele în el. Øi eu am multe coømaruri. Dar nu îmi aduc aminte decît dimineafla.Apoi m-am întors la caietul cel mov, în care am citit cæ atunci cîndaveam doi ani, într-o noapte m-am trezit øi am rugat-o sæ mæ lase la ea înpat. M-a întrebat de ce m-am trezit. Mi-e fricæ de lup, i-am spus. (Din noulupul!) Lupul la ora asta doarme, mi-a spus Mama, se cuibæreøte împreunæcu lupul cel mic øi dorm în culcuøul lor cældufl. Eu sînt lupul cel mic, am spus,øi am adormit. Citesc øi cæ Ádám, atunci cînd era mic, spunea cæ simte cumîngerul îl mîngîie pe cap cu mîna sa cea rece. Nu îmi aduc aminte, dar øiasta e în caiet:DORKA Eu am væzut un înger.MAMA Unde?DORKA La universitate.MAMA Ce fæcea îngerul?DORKA Învæfla. Îngerul cel mare îi învæfla pe oameni.MAMA Øi cel mic?DORKA Cel mic stætea acolo, ascultînd.Mama transcria multe din conversafliile noastre.DORKA Piøu e fatæ, caca e bæiat.MAMA De unde øtii?DORKA Din Ungaria.Mai copiez încæ una, e important.DORKA Mama, tu vei træi cînd eu voi fi mare?MAMA Sper cæ da.DORKA Atunci te voi chema la teatrul meu de pæpuøi.Asta e important, pentru cæ s-ar putea sæ nu fiu detectiv cînd voi fi mare,s-ar putea sæ am un teatru de pæpuøi, unde vom pune în scenæ tot felul depiese bune cu trupa mea, doar piese bune, eu le voi scrie, sau altcineva,dar în orice caz trebuie sæ fie bune, adicæ vor trebui sæ fie amuzante. Darnu amuzante, aøa încît toatæ lumea sæ fie nevoitæ sæ rîdæ deodatæ, ci astfelîncît fiecare sæ rîdæ atunci cînd vrea. Dupæ pærerea mea, teatrele de pæpuøinu au fost fæcute pentru ca sæ învefle copiii øi sæ vorbeascæ în cor. În loculplictisitoarelor tanti bætrîne, la teatrul meu de pæpuøi vor fi pæpuøi øi copii.Tanti bætrîne vor fi acceptate doar dacæ vor trece examenul meu. Vor fi treiprobe: proba de zis bancuri, tumbe øi cea de fæcut fefle.03.08. Maman n’existe pas. Maman est morte. Pourqois voulu Mamanmourir? Je haïs elle pour ça. Maman été seule.

At the wordpoison grandma gets close to nervous breakdown. Then they grow weary,grandma makes a cake. Dad and I are crazy about her cakes, Dorka nevereven tastes them. I decided to give her the Porsche matchbox, which she hasbeen asking for so long.March the 8th, Wednesday. Women’s day, Dad and Ádám gave me a tameviolet in a little pot. Violet, my favourite colour. In the afternoon, after homework,I secretly peeped into Mom’s blue notebook. It records her dreams.I also dream frightening dreams. But I remember them only in the morning.Then I turned to the violet notebook and read about me, being two years oldand asking her to let me in her bed one night when I woke up. She asked mewhy did I wake up. I said I was afraid of the wolf. (The wolf, again!) The wolfsleeps at this hour, said Mom, he nestles with the little wolf and they sleepin their warm nook. I am the little wolf, said I, and fell asleep. Mom writesthat Ádám, when he was younger, said he felt the angel caressing his headwith cold hands. I don’t remember this, but it is there as well:DORKA I have seen an angel.MOM Where?DORKA At the university.MOM What was the angel doing?DORKA Teaching. The big angel was teaching people.MOM And the little one?DORKA The little one sat there, listening.Mom wrote down many of our dialogues.DORKA Piss is a girl, poo is a boy.MOM How do you know?DORKA From Hungary.I’ll copy one more, it is important:DORKA Mom, will you live when I grow up?MOM I hope so.DORKA Then I’ll invite you to my puppet-show.This is important because I might not be a detective when I grow up, I mightown a puppet-show instead, presenting all sorts of good plays with my troop,good plays only, I will write them, or somebody else will, they will have to bevery good in any case, meaning they will have to be funny. But not funny likeall people will have to laugh at a certain time: everybody will laugh when theywill feel like it. Puppet-shows were not invented to have kids learn and speakin chorus. My puppet-show will feature puppets and kids instead of boring oldladies. Old ladies will only be allowed if they pass my exam. The exam willconsist of three tests: telling jokes, performing somersaults and pulling faces.03.08. Maman n’existe pas. Maman est morte. Pourqois voulu Maman mourir?Je haïs elle pour ça.

Written by Dorka Binder. Once upon atime there was a young boy. He grew up and was summoned to join the army.The boy didn’t want to become a soldier because he rather preferred to read,listen to music and chat while smoking fine cigars. He was a refined boy, notexactly the military type, ready to plunge into a pond if ordered so, despite127
