Pe podea erau \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate buc\u0103\u021bi de metal, \u021bevi, lan\u021buri \u0219i tot felul de scule. \u00cen col\u021b, sub o prelat\u0103 murdar\u0103, se z\u0103rea ceva mare, cu o form\u0103 ciudat\u0103. Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat prelata cu v\u00e2rful degetelor \u0219i am sim\u021bit cum s\u00e2ngele mi se scurge din obraji. Sub ea era o\u2026 form\u0103 uman\u0103. Pentru o clip\u0103 am crezut c\u0103 e un trup. M-am dat \u00eenapoi, gata s\u0103 \u021bip, dar atunci am observat firele, \u0219uruburile \u0219i o plac\u0103 de metal prins\u0103 \u00een locul fe\u021bei.<\/p>\n
Era un manechin. Nu, mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t. P\u0103rea o p\u0103pu\u0219\u0103 construit\u0103 din buc\u0103\u021bi de fier \u0219i lemn, cu mi\u0219c\u0103ri par\u021bial mecanice. \u00cen jurul ei erau schi\u021be, cabluri, borcane cu un lichid ro\u0219iatic. Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. Ce era asta?<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103sfoit una dintre h\u00e2rtiile \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate pe mas\u0103. Scrisul lui \u2014 clar, ordonat \u2014 umplea paginile. \u201ePrototip: model uman 3.0. Obiectiv: perfec\u021biune.\u201d Perfec\u021biune? Ce \u00eensemna asta?<\/p>\n
Am tres\u0103rit c\u00e2nd am auzit pa\u0219i afar\u0103. So\u021bul meu. A venit mai devreme. M-am panicat. Am aruncat prelata la loc \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103-mi lini\u0219tesc respira\u021bia. U\u0219a s-a deschis, iar el a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat \u00een prag, cu o expresie rece, de parc\u0103 m\u0103 a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus s\u0103 nu intri aici, a zis cu o voce sc\u0103zut\u0103.
\u2014 Ce e asta, Mihai? am reu\u0219it s\u0103 spun printre lacrimi. Ce ai f\u0103cut?
El a oftat ad\u00e2nc.
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021belegi… n-am f\u0103cut nimic r\u0103u. Vreau doar s\u0103 repar ce n-a mers.<\/p>\n
A trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u0219i s-a apropiat de manechin. Cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be ciudat\u0103 i-a \u0219ters praful de pe obrazul de metal.
\u2014 Ea trebuia s\u0103 fie perfect\u0103… am pierdut totul c\u00e2nd am pierdut-o pe Andreea.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum genunchii mi se \u00eenmoaie. Andreea… fiica noastr\u0103. Murise acum doi ani \u00eentr-un accident. \u00cel dobor\u00e2se durerea, dar nu mi-am imaginat c\u0103 o va lua razna \u00een halul \u0103sta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mihai, te rog… asta nu e ea. Nu po\u021bi s-o aduci \u00eenapoi a\u0219a!
El m-a privit cu ochii \u00eenl\u0103crima\u021bi, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi.
\u2014 Ba da, o pot reconstrui. \u00cei pot reda z\u00e2mbetul, vocea… am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat tot ce trebuie.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas spre el, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-l opresc, dar a ridicat o m\u00e2n\u0103. Dintr-o cutie a scos un mic aparat, iar c\u00e2nd l-a pornit, din manechin s-a auzit un sunet slab, ca un suspin. Am \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tata…<\/p>\n
Vocea aceea… era vocea ei. Vocea feti\u021bei noastre. Am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns, iar Mihai a z\u00e2mbit ca un om care \u0219i-a pierdut min\u021bile.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles. Nu era r\u0103utate, ci durere pur\u0103, transformat\u0103 \u00eentr-o obsesie.<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat \u0219i am pus o m\u00e2n\u0103 pe um\u0103rul lui.
\u2014 Ea tr\u0103ie\u0219te deja, Mihai. \u00cen amintirile noastre, \u00een iubirea pe care o avem pentru ea. Nu trebuie s\u0103 o refaci din fier.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui s-au umplut de lacrimi, iar aparatul a c\u0103zut din m\u00e2na lui, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un zgomot sec. \u00cen t\u0103cerea aceea ap\u0103s\u0103toare, ne-am \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
Garajul, care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci mi se p\u0103ruse un loc al groazei, a devenit brusc locul \u00een care durerea s-a sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
De atunci, Mihai n-a mai lucrat niciodat\u0103 noaptea. \u00cen locul proiectului s\u0103u a ridicat un col\u021b cu poze \u0219i lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u2014 un mic altar pentru feti\u021ba noastr\u0103. Iar eu am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 uneori mon\u0219trii nu tr\u0103iesc \u00een garaj, ci \u00een inimile celor care au pierdut prea mult.<\/p>\n
Dar iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103… \u00eei poate elibera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
