\u2026u\u0219a grea a restaurantului s-a deschis cu un sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it abia auzit, dar suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eentoarc\u0103 toate capetele. Am ridicat privirea \u0219i am \u0219tiut. \u00cel recuno\u0219team dup\u0103 mers, dup\u0103 postura dreapt\u0103 \u0219i felul \u00een care analiza \u00eenc\u0103perea \u00eentr-o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Intrase Radu.<\/p>\n
Bodyguardul meu.<\/p>\n
Nu era un simplu \u201ep\u0103zitor\u201d, cum ar fi zis mama cu dispre\u021b. Era omul care m\u0103 \u00eenso\u021bea \u00een misiuni, cel care m\u0103 scosese din situa\u021bii \u00een care mul\u021bi nu ar fi supravie\u021buit. Un metru nou\u0103zeci, costum negru impecabil, privire rece, dar mereu \u00een alert\u0103. Contrastul dintre el \u0219i atmosfera elegant\u0103 din restaurant era at\u00e2t de puternic, \u00eenc\u00e2t lini\u0219tea s-a a\u0219ternut ca o p\u0103tur\u0103 grea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina \u2014 a spus el scurt. \u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 ie\u0219im. Acum.<\/p>\n
Mama a pufnit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine e b\u0103iatul \u0103sta? Iar faci teatru?<\/p>\n
Darius a ridicat spr\u00e2nceana, cu acel aer de superioritate pe care \u00eel avea de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd avea impresia c\u0103 \u0219tie totul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bodyguard? Hai, Sorina, nu mai exagera.<\/p>\n
Dar Radu nu glumea niciodat\u0103. Iar eu \u0219tiam tonul acela.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum adrenalina mi se strecoar\u0103 \u00een vene, aceea\u0219i senza\u021bie familiar\u0103 de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd lucrurile se complicau. Spre deosebire de ei, eu tr\u0103iam \u00eentr-o lume \u00een care un sms gre\u0219it sau un om nepotrivit \u00een locul nepotrivit \u00ee\u021bi putea r\u0103sturna via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat, ridic\u00e2ndu-m\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tept aprobarea cuiva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Avem o problem\u0103. O mare problem\u0103. \u0218i trebuie s\u0103 plec\u0103m \u00eenainte s\u0103 devin\u0103 public\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mama a izbucnit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Public\u0103? Ce ar putea fi at\u00e2t de grav? Ce-ai mai f\u0103cut?<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la ea. La to\u021bi. La familia care pentru mine nu mai era demult o familie, ci o scen\u0103 \u00een care eu jucam mereu rolul \u201eru\u0219inii\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nimic ce v-ar interesa \u2014 am r\u0103spuns, dar vocea mi-a tremurat, nu de fric\u0103, ci de oboseal\u0103. Oboseala anilor \u00een care m-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 simt c\u0103 nu sunt suficient\u0103.<\/p>\n
Radu mi-a atins bra\u021bul, un gest discret.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina, trebuie.<\/p>\n
A fost clipa \u00een care Mirela, sora mea mic\u0103, aceea\u0219i Mirela care \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea griji doar de unghiile ei \u0219i de logodnicul ei cu salariu de zece mii de lei, a ridicat privirea. \u0218i-am v\u0103zut \u00een ochii ei ceva ce nu mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103: team\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva r\u0103u? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat ea, abia auzit.<\/p>\n
Pentru o secund\u0103, t\u0103cerea a fost total\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi, tata s-a ridicat \u00eencet, sprijinindu-se de mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina\u2026 dac\u0103 e\u0219ti \u00een pericol\u2026 noi\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201eNoi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Un cuv\u00e2nt pe care nu-l mai auzisem de la ei de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Dar Radu a intervenit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea nu e singura \u00een pericol.<\/p>\n
Fraza a c\u0103zut peste mas\u0103 ca un ciocan.<\/p>\n
Mama s-a \u00eenro\u0219it la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vrei s\u0103 spui cu asta? Cine e\u0219ti s\u0103 vii aici \u0219i s\u0103\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt cel care o protejeaz\u0103 \u2014 a r\u0103spuns el f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103. \u2014 Iar dac\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ne\u021bi aici, s-ar putea s\u0103 v\u0103 trezi\u021bi \u00een mijlocul unei situa\u021bii pe care nu v-o dori\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Darius \u0219i-a \u00eempins scaunul \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a ceva nu se poate. Sorina dramatizeaz\u0103 ca de obicei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen secunda urm\u0103toare, telefonul lui a vibrat. A ridicat aparatul, a citit mesajul\u2026 \u0219i fa\u021ba i s-a schimbat complet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu e posibil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat Iulia.<\/p>\n
El a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Firma\u2026 Au intrat masca\u021bii. Perchezi\u021bie. Spun c\u0103 e o anchet\u0103 \u00een desf\u0103\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
Mama aproape a le\u0219inat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ric\u0103\u2026 e adev\u0103rat?<\/p>\n
Tata s-a a\u0219ezat, palid.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am auzit zvonuri\u2026 dar n-am crezut c\u0103 e at\u00e2t de grav.<\/p>\n
Toate privirile s-au \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n
Ca \u0219i cum totul era, din nou, vina mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-ai f\u0103cut? \u2014 a \u0219uierat mama.<\/p>\n
Am inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am descoperit ceva. Ceva ce nu trebuia s\u0103 descop\u0103r. \u0218i cineva vrea s\u0103 se asigure c\u0103 nu deschid gura. Dar problema e c\u0103 lucrurile sunt mai mari dec\u00e2t credea\u021bi voi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai mari cum? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat Mirela, cu vocea tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Radu a r\u0103spuns \u00een locul meu:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Familia voastr\u0103 a fost folosit\u0103 ca paravan. Iar Sorina e singura care \u0219tie exact cine e \u00een spatele tuturor. De asta e vizat\u0103. De asta sunte\u021bi to\u021bi \u00een pericol.<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Greaua, sufocanta.<\/p>\n
Am privit spre p\u0103rin\u021bii mei. Spre oamenii care m\u0103 alungaser\u0103 emo\u021bional ani la r\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am \u00eencercat s\u0103 v\u0103 protejez \u2014 am spus \u00eencet. \u2014 Chiar dac\u0103 voi n-a\u021bi f\u0103cut-o niciodat\u0103 pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Tata a l\u0103sat capul \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Au fost trei cuvinte pe care le-am a\u0219teptat dou\u0103zeci de ani.<\/p>\n
Radu mi-a atins bra\u021bul din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 plec\u0103m acum. To\u021bi. Dac\u0103 nu vre\u021bi probleme mai mari.<\/p>\n
I-am privit pe fiecare \u00een parte.<\/p>\n
Familia mea.<\/p>\n
O familie imperfect\u0103, cu gre\u0219eli c\u00e2t mun\u021bii, dar tot familia mea.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentins m\u00e2na spre mama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba ei\u2026 mama a ascultat.<\/p>\n
\u0218i am ie\u0219it cu to\u021bii din restaurant \u00eempreun\u0103, ca o familie adev\u0103rat\u0103, \u00een momentul exact \u00een care la intrare au ap\u0103rut doi b\u0103rba\u021bi \u00een costume \u00eenchise la culoare, uit\u00e2ndu-se dup\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
Dar era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Noi deja plecasem.<\/p>\n
