Alina scotoci prin cutia cu unelte, mirosind u\u0219or a ulei de ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i fier rece. Fiecare \u0219urubelni\u021b\u0103 \u0219i fiecare patent erau la locul lor, ca \u0219i cum Sorin ar fi fost acolo, cu privirea lui atent\u0103 \u0219i tonul lui meticulos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aha, l-am g\u0103sit! \u2014 zise ea, ridic\u00e2nd ciocanul \u0219i z\u00e2mbind scurt.<\/p>\n
Dar c\u00e2nd se \u00eentoarse, \u00eel surprinse pe Mihai privind lung o fotografie de pe raft \u2014 o poz\u0103 de la nunta lor. El p\u0103rea pierdut \u00een g\u00e2nduri, cu o expresie greu de citit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Frumoas\u0103 fotografie, zise \u00eencet, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i ridice privirea. \u2014 Dar pari altfel acolo… mai vie.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui \u00eei str\u0103punser\u0103 sufletul ca o adiere rece. Nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103, s\u0103 se \u00eenro\u0219easc\u0103 sau s\u0103 se supere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poate pentru c\u0103 atunci aveam mai multe motive s\u0103 z\u00e2mbesc, spuse ea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 prea mult.<\/p>\n
Mihai o privi drept \u00een ochi, iar \u00een t\u0103cerea care se l\u0103s\u0103 \u00eentre ei, se auzi doar tic\u0103itul ceasului din buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Acel sunet banal c\u0103p\u0103tase o greutate stranie, de parc\u0103 timpul \u00eensu\u0219i st\u0103tea pe loc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorin e plecat, nu? \u00eentreb\u0103 el aproape \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, la pescuit. P\u00e2n\u0103 duminic\u0103.<\/p>\n
El d\u0103du din cap \u0219i \u00eentinse m\u00e2na dup\u0103 ciocan. Degetele lor se atinseser\u0103 pentru o clip\u0103, dar \u00een acea atingere era ceva ce Alina nu mai sim\u021bise de mult: c\u0103ldur\u0103. O sc\u00e2nteie scurt\u0103, periculoas\u0103, dar vie.<\/p>\n
Ea \u00ee\u0219i trase repede m\u00e2na, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 mai caute ceva. \u00cencerca s\u0103 alunge acel fior, s\u0103-\u0219i recapete lini\u0219tea, dar g\u00e2ndurile i se \u00eencurcau. De ce \u00eei tremura inima a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, Alina. Promit c\u0103 \u00eel aduc \u00eenapoi… \u00eentreg, z\u00e2mbi Mihai.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021aine-l c\u00e2t ai nevoie, r\u0103spunse ea, evit\u00e2ndu-i privirea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd u\u0219a se \u00eenchise \u00een urma lui, apartamentul p\u0103ru dintr-odat\u0103 prea t\u0103cut, prea gol. Alina se a\u0219ez\u0103 din nou la mas\u0103, dar cafeaua era rece. \u00cen locul lini\u0219tii, se instalase un zumzet ciudat \u2014 un amestec de curiozitate \u0219i vinov\u0103\u021bie.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, Mihai a tot g\u0103sit motive s\u0103 mai bat\u0103 la u\u0219a ei. Ba un cui care nu voia s\u0103 stea, ba un bec care p\u00e2lp\u00e2ia. De fiecare dat\u0103, el glumea, iar ea r\u00e2dea, dar \u00een spatele z\u00e2mbetelor se n\u0103\u0219tea o tensiune t\u0103cut\u0103, care cre\u0219tea cu fiecare \u00eent\u00e2lnire.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o sear\u0103, c\u00e2nd el a venit s\u0103-i aduc\u0103 ciocanul \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am zis c\u0103-l aduc, nu? glumi el.<\/p>\n
Dar nu plec\u0103 imediat. R\u0103mase \u00een prag, privind-o lung, cu aceia\u0219i ochi care o f\u0103ceau s\u0103 uite unde e.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Alina… \u0219tii c\u0103 meri\u021bi mai mult, nu?<\/p>\n
Ea sim\u021bi cum \u00eei fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vrei s\u0103 spui?<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103 Sorin… nu e la pescuit. E la Pite\u0219ti, cu o femeie. \u00cei sunt instalator de ceva vreme. Azi am fost chemat s\u0103 repar o \u021beav\u0103 la apartamentul ei. \u0218i i-am v\u0103zut \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alina sim\u021bi cum aerul i se opre\u0219te \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti sigur? \u0219opti ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a\u0219 dori s\u0103 nu fiu. Dar da.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea care urma fu grea ca plumbul. Alina se pr\u0103bu\u0219i pe scaun, cu ochii \u00een lacrimi. Totul se d\u0103r\u00e2ma \u00een jurul ei.<\/p>\n
Mihai se apropie \u00eencet, \u00eei puse m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r, f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. Ea nu se mai ferea. Pl\u00e2ngea \u00een t\u0103cere, iar el st\u0103tea acolo, l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, ca un om care \u0219tie ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 durerea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen diminea\u021ba urm\u0103toare, Alina a privit lung ciocanul de pe mas\u0103. Obiectul acela banal \u00eei schimbase via\u021ba. Cu el se pr\u0103bu\u0219ise o minciun\u0103, dar se n\u0103scuse curajul.<\/p>\n
A deschis fereastra, a inspirat ad\u00e2nc aerul rece de toamn\u0103 \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, z\u00e2mbetul ei era adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it \u00een\u021belesese: uneori, via\u021ba love\u0219te ca un ciocan \u2014 dur, nea\u0219teptat, dar necesar. Ca s\u0103 sparg\u0103 lan\u021burile care te \u021bin captiv \u0219i s\u0103 te lase s\u0103 respiri din nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
