Florin r\u00e2se scurt, duc\u00e2nd paharul la buze. Pe chipul lui se citea o oboseal\u0103 ascuns\u0103, dar \u0219i o doz\u0103 de arogan\u021b\u0103 care nu-i sc\u0103p\u0103 lui Andrei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Reu\u0219it? \u2014 spuse Florin cu o grimas\u0103. \u2014 Dac\u0103 \u0219tii c\u00e2t m-a costat toat\u0103 treaba asta\u2026 \u0219i nervii, \u0219i banii.<\/p>\n
Radu r\u00e2se \u0219i-l b\u0103tu pe um\u0103r. \u2014 Hai, m\u0103, las\u0103, e\u0219ti c\u0103s\u0103torit cu o fat\u0103 bun\u0103, gospodin\u0103, din familie serioas\u0103. Ce mai vrei?<\/p>\n
Florin se apropie de el \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie c\u0103 microfonul de pe reverul hainei era \u00eenc\u0103 pornit, \u0219opti:
\u2014 Bun\u0103, da\u2026 dar nu mai pot cu ea. Nu suport nici m\u0103car s-o s\u0103rut, s-a f\u0103cut prea gras\u0103\u2026 \u0219i m\u0103 enerveaz\u0103 cu totul.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui se auzir\u0103 limpede \u00een tot salonul.<\/p>\n
Un zumzet ciudat str\u0103b\u0103tu \u00eenc\u0103perea. Muzica se oprise pentru scurt timp, iar invita\u021bii se privir\u0103 \u00eentre ei, ne\u00een\u021beleg\u00e2nd. Apoi, lini\u0219tea se f\u0103cu deplin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Maria r\u0103mase nemi\u0219cat\u0103, cu z\u00e2mbetul \u00eenghe\u021bat pe buze. Se uit\u0103 \u00een jur, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 a auzit gre\u0219it, dar chipurile st\u00e2njenite ale celor din jur i-au confirmat adev\u0103rul. Mama ei, Carmen, \u00ee\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. Unchiul Ion d\u0103du din cap cu dezam\u0103gire.<\/p>\n
Totul se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea.<\/p>\n
Maria se ridic\u0103 \u00eencet, sim\u021bind cum i se taie picioarele. Fiecare privire din sal\u0103 era \u00eendreptat\u0103 spre ea. Se uit\u0103 la masa mirilor \u2014 golit\u0103, rece, cu lum\u00e2n\u0103rile p\u00e2lp\u00e2ind a ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Nu a spus nimic. Doar \u0219i-a desprins voalul, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-l s\u0103 cad\u0103 pe scaun.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00een t\u0103cere, a pornit spre ie\u0219ire.<\/p>\n
Florin, neatent, r\u00e2dea \u00een continuare la bar, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd Radu i-a f\u0103cut semn panicat s\u0103 tac\u0103. C\u00e2nd \u0219i-a dat seama ce se \u00eent\u00e2mplase, a v\u0103zut doar u\u0219a tr\u00e2ntindu-se \u0219i pe Maria ie\u0219ind gr\u0103bit\u0103 \u00een noapte.<\/p>\n
A \u00eencercat s-o ajung\u0103 din urm\u0103, dar ea deja urca \u00eentr-un taxi. Mireasa pleca din propria nunt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen taxi, Maria pl\u00e2ngea, dar printre lacrimi sim\u021bea \u0219i o eliberare. Trei ani tr\u0103ise cu impresia c\u0103 iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 \u00eenseamn\u0103 sacrificiu \u0219i r\u0103bdare. \u00cen clipa aceea a \u00een\u021beles: iubirea nu trebuie s\u0103 doar\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, toate rudele vorbeau despre \u201enunta anului\u201d, dar pentru Maria era ziua \u00een care se reg\u0103sise.<\/p>\n
S-a mutat din ora\u0219, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 lucreze la o cofet\u0103rie mic\u0103 \u0219i, cu timpul, a redescoperit bucuria lucrurilor simple: mirosul de vanilie, r\u00e2sul sincer al oamenilor, \u0219i libertatea de a fi ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2\u021biva ani mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 de prim\u0103var\u0103, \u00een fa\u021ba vitrinei pline cu pr\u0103jituri, a intrat un b\u0103rbat t\u00e2n\u0103r cu o floare \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Nu era bogat, nici perfect, dar avea \u00een priviri bl\u00e2nde\u021bea pe care ea nu o mai \u00eent\u00e2lnise niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua, am auzit c\u0103 face\u021bi cele mai bune amandine din ora\u0219, i-a spus el z\u00e2mbind.<\/p>\n
Maria a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i ea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama c\u0103 inima \u00eei b\u0103tea altfel.<\/p>\n
Poate c\u0103, uneori, e nevoie s\u0103-\u021bi rupi aripile false ca s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021bi s\u0103 zbori din nou.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, de data asta, zborul era doar al ei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
