Am z\u00e2mbit, apoi am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 ridic \u00eencet, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de marginea patului. Aveam capul greu, dar mintea limpede. Nu mai sim\u021beam fric\u0103, ci o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103, aproape amuzant\u0103. M-am privit \u00een oglind\u0103, cu p\u0103rul \u00eenc\u00e2lcit \u0219i ochii ro\u0219ii, dar \u00een suflet era ceva eliberator, ca \u0219i cum via\u021ba ar fi ap\u0103sat un buton de reset.<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa urm\u0103toare, u\u0219a s-a deschis \u0219i Andreea a intrat cu un aer triumf\u0103tor, de parc\u0103 tocmai c\u00e2\u0219tigase un premiu. \u021ainea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o po\u0219et\u0103 nou\u0103, lucioas\u0103, cu etichet\u0103 prins\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 pe ea, semn clar c\u0103 nu era a ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te-ai trezit? \u2014 spuse ea, f\u0103r\u0103 pic de empatie. \u2014 Sper c\u0103 \u021bi-a trecut faza aceea teatral\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am privit-o atent, analiz\u00e2nd fiecare rid, fiecare tremur, fiecare gest care tr\u0103da nesiguran\u021b\u0103. \u00cen spatele arogan\u021bei, era panic\u0103. O sim\u021beam.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andreea \u2014 am spus calm. \u2014 Cu cine te-ai m\u0103ritat?<\/p>\n
Ochii ei s-au m\u0103rit pu\u021bin, dar \u0219i-a revenit repede.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu Adrian, normal! Crezi c\u0103 sunt proast\u0103? B\u0103rbatul bogat, cu vila mare, cu ma\u0219inile alea scumpe, cu afacerile lui. Ce, ai uitat?<\/p>\n
Am inspirat ad\u00e2nc, \u021bin\u00e2nd privirea fix\u0103 pe ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adrian nu e bogat, Andreea.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima oar\u0103, t\u0103cerea s-a a\u0219ezat ca o piatr\u0103 \u00eentre noi. Chipul ei s-a \u00eencordat, iar z\u00e2mbetul fals i s-a \u0219ters.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da! \u2014 a ridicat vocea. \u2014 Mi-a spus c\u0103 are bani! C\u0103\u2026 c\u0103 ne mut\u0103m la vila lui din Bucure\u0219ti!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu are nicio vil\u0103 \u00een Bucure\u0219ti \u2014 am continuat cu voce lin\u0103. \u2014 Adrian \u0219i cu mine am str\u00e2ns banii \u00eempreun\u0103 ca s\u0103 ne lu\u0103m un apartament modest \u00een Ploie\u0219ti. El \u00eenc\u0103 locuia \u00een garsoniera lui. Ce ai v\u0103zut tu\u2026 probabil era casa v\u0103rului lui, la care \u00ee\u0219i viziteaz\u0103 c\u00e2inele.<\/p>\n
Andreea a \u00eenghe\u021bat. Buzele i s-au str\u00e2ns, iar privirea i s-a umplut de panic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu ai de unde s\u0103 \u0219tii! Tu ai fost plecat\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am vorbit cu el asear\u0103, de pe aeroport.<\/p>\n
\u0218ocul a lovit-o at\u00e2t de puternic \u00eenc\u00e2t i-au tremurat genunchii \u0219i s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe scaun. Chipul ei, p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci m\u00e2ndru, devenise mic, speriat, gol. \u00cemi era mil\u0103 \u0219i, \u00een acela\u0219i timp, sim\u021beam o ciudat\u0103 eliberare. C\u00e2nd e\u0219ti orb dup\u0103 bani, \u00ee\u021bi pierzi sufletul pe drum.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i atunci\u2026 cu cine\u2026 m-am m\u0103ritat? \u2014 \u0219opti ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu Marian, colegul lui de la lucru. Cel care viseaz\u0103 s\u0103 dea lovitura la p\u0103c\u0103nele \u0219i s\u0103 se \u00eembog\u0103\u021beasc\u0103 peste noapte.<\/p>\n
Andreea a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns, un pl\u00e2ns zgomotos, dezordonat, \u00eenc\u0103rcat de disperare, nu de dragoste. Nici m\u0103car nu iubea pe nimeni. \u00ce\u0219i iubea doar imaginea de pe telefon.<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat \u0219i i-am pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u021bi-am dorit niciodat\u0103 r\u0103ul. Dar ce ai f\u0103cut\u2026 nu e iubire. E goan\u0103 dup\u0103 etichet\u0103, dup\u0103 poz\u0103, dup\u0103 like-uri.<\/p>\n
Ea \u0219i-a ridicat fa\u021ba ro\u0219ie, ud\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i tu? Ce o s\u0103 faci acum?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit larg, mai sincer ca oric\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103-mi tr\u0103iesc via\u021ba. Pe bune. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai alerg dup\u0103 aprob\u0103ri, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi v\u00e2nd sufletul pentru o geant\u0103. Adrian m-a a\u0219teptat, mi-a trimis ultimii lui bani ca s\u0103 pot veni mai devreme, doar ca s\u0103 ne vedem. Asta e bog\u0103\u021bie. Restul\u2026 e carton lucios.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it pe hol, cobor\u00e2nd sc\u0103rile \u00eencet, cu o lini\u0219te pe care nu o mai sim\u021bisem de ani. Afar\u0103 mirosea a ploaie cald\u0103, iar cerul \u00eencepea s\u0103 se lumineze. Mi-am ridicat bagajul \u0219i am pornit spre poart\u0103 cu pas hot\u0103r\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele meu, poarta s-a tr\u00e2ntit. Dar, \u00een fa\u021ba mea, via\u021ba abia se deschidea.<\/p>\n
Nu aveam ma\u0219in\u0103 scump\u0103, nu aveam vil\u0103, nu aveam sume uria\u0219e \u00een cont.<\/p>\n
Dar aveam ceva ce ea nu \u00een\u021belesese niciodat\u0103: un suflet \u00eemp\u0103cat \u0219i un drum curat \u00eenainte.<\/strong><\/p>\n Iar asta, \u00een lumea noastr\u0103, face mai mult dec\u00e2t orice milion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Am z\u00e2mbit, apoi am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 ridic \u00eencet, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de marginea patului.
