Mesajul era scurt, dar mi-a t\u0103iat tot z\u00e2mbetul de pe buze.
\u201eMi-a f\u0103cut pl\u0103cere asear\u0103. Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 ne mai vedem, data viitoare e r\u00e2ndul t\u0103u s\u0103 pl\u0103te\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am recitit de c\u00e2teva ori, convins\u0103 c\u0103 poate glumea. Tonul \u00eens\u0103 era sec, rece. M-a cuprins o senza\u021bie ciudat\u0103 de dezam\u0103gire. Nu pentru bani \u2014 Doamne fere\u0219te! \u2014 ci pentru c\u0103 tot farmecul de cu sear\u0103 se risipea ca o cea\u021b\u0103 diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Am tastat un \u201eSigur\u201d, dar nu am trimis mesajul. M-am oprit. M\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam la cum \u00eemi \u021binuse u\u0219a, la c\u00e2t p\u0103rea de sincer. Totul p\u0103rea autentic, \u0219i totu\u0219i acum p\u0103rea c\u0103 doar bifase o regul\u0103.<\/p>\n
Prietena mea, cea care ni-l prezentase, mi-a scris mai t\u00e2rziu: \u201eCum a fost \u00eent\u00e2lnirea?\u201d
I-am trimis doar o captur\u0103 cu mesajul lui.
R\u0103spunsul a venit rapid: \u201eA\u0219a e el. Elegant la \u00eenceput, dar are un fel ciudat de a calcula tot.\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat pe canapea \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc la c\u00e2te femei probabil au trecut prin acela\u0219i scenariu. Flori, z\u00e2mbete, promisiuni fine \u0219i apoi\u2026 un mesaj care \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 totul peste cap.<\/p>\n
Seara, am primit un alt mesaj.
\u201eSper c\u0103 nu te-ai sup\u0103rat. Mi se pare normal ca o rela\u021bie s\u0103 fie echilibrat\u0103. Eu am pl\u0103tit prima, tu a doua, \u0219i tot a\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n
De data asta i-am r\u0103spuns.
\u201eEchilibrul nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een lei, ci \u00een gesturi.\u201d
Nu a mai spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Zilele urm\u0103toare m-am tot g\u00e2ndit la el. Nu pentru c\u0103 mi-ar fi lipsit, ci pentru c\u0103 \u00eencercam s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg de ce o \u00eent\u00e2lnire at\u00e2t de frumoas\u0103 s-a terminat cu un gust amar. Poate pentru c\u0103, la v\u00e2rsta mea, \u00ee\u021bi dai seama c\u0103 elegan\u021ba adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu are pre\u021b.<\/p>\n
O s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, am intrat \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor \u00een acela\u0219i restaurant. Chelnerul m-a recunoscut.
\u201eDoamna cu trandafirii frumo\u0219i, nu?\u201d a z\u00e2mbit el.
Am dat din cap. \u201eDa, tot eu.\u201d
\u201eS\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 domnul de atunci a venit \u0219i a doua zi, singur. A \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 a\u021bi uitat ceva.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or. Nu uitasem nimic. Doar o iluzie frumos \u00eempachetat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pe mas\u0103, la plecare, am l\u0103sat un bac\u0219i\u0219 generos \u0219i un bile\u021bel mic:
\u201eUnele lec\u021bii se \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 la desert.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea am \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu: nu to\u021bi trandafirii vin din inim\u0103, unii vin doar ca s\u0103 arate bine \u00een poz\u0103.
Dar am \u00een\u021beles \u0219i c\u0103 nu trebuie s\u0103 te am\u0103r\u0103\u0219ti din cauza asta. Pentru c\u0103 undeva, \u00eentre o not\u0103 de plat\u0103 \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet sincer, te a\u0219teapt\u0103 cineva care va pl\u0103ti nu cu cardul, ci cu aten\u021bia \u0219i c\u0103ldura lui.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci nu vei mai num\u0103ra cine a dat mai mult. Vei \u0219ti pur \u0219i simplu c\u0103 ai c\u00e2\u0219tigat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
