O geanta, o amintire

In La Scena am descoperit o gentuta de al carei model ii este legata o amintire foarte draga, optzecista. Bunicul meu ii cumparase mamei, in timp ce ea era la facultate o geanta de student, exact ca aceasta. Era in ultimul an de facultate, foarte departe de parinti (distanta Sibiu-Galati) si in anul acela nu a apucat sa mai ajunga acasa la fel de des. Bunicul nu a vizitat-o pentru ca stia ca e ocupata cu lucrarea de licenta, (care trebuia scrisa de mana) si cu examenele de final, asa ca geanta nu a mai ajuns la mama.

Aveam 5 sau 6 ani cand mi-a aratat-o si mi-a promis ca atunci cand intru la liceu va fi a mea. Ma uitam la geanta uimita de faptul ca trebuie sa o accept ca mostenire de familie, inloc sa o mazgalesc si sa ma joc cu ea acum. Ma gandeam si ca nu va mai fi la moda pana voi intra eu la liceu si ca valoarea i se va pierde pana atunci. Nu stiu ce s-a intamplat cu geanta, cert e ca nu stiu unde este, dar amintirea e prezenta si daca as gasi-o acum, as purta-o, din dor si dragoste pentru amintiri.

In La Scena I found a bag which is connected to a very dear memory of mine, from the eighties. My grandfather bought this kind of bag to my mother, while she was a student, far away from her parents (Sibiu-Galati). It was her last year in the university and she didn't get home that year. Grandpa also did not visit her because she knew that she's busy with the final exams and license, (which had to be written by hand at that time), so the bag never reached my mother.

I was 5 or 6 years when he showed me the bag and promised me that when I will get to high school it will be mine. I looked at the bag amazed by the fact that I must accept it as a family inheritance, when I only wanted to play with it. I was thinking by the time I will reach highschool, it won't be in fashion anymore and it's value will be lost forever. I do not know what happened to the bag, but the memory is still present and if I will find it I would really like to wear it for the sake of good memories.
