\u0218i poate tocmai asta m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 ap\u0103s mai tare pe volan \u0219i s\u0103 trag aer \u00een piept, ca \u0219i cum urma s\u0103 iau o hot\u0103r\u00e2re care avea s\u0103-mi schimbe via\u021ba. Pentru c\u0103 \u00een clipa aceea, \u00een lini\u0219tea cabinei, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu pot s-o las \u00een voia sor\u021bii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Simona\u2026 dac\u0103 ai nevoie de ajutor, spune-mi, am murmurat.<\/p>\n
Ea a clipit des, ca \u0219i cum ar fi \u00eencercat s\u0103 alunge lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu po\u021bi s\u0103 m\u0103 aju\u021bi, Dorin. N-am bani, n-am rude, n-am pe nimeni. \u0218i am f\u0103cut o prostie. Una mare.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas t\u0103cut c\u00e2teva secunde. Drumurile lungi m-au \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 oamenii spun adev\u0103rul doar c\u00e2nd simt c\u0103 nu mai au ce s\u0103 piard\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce fel de prostie? am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Simona a deschis ghiozdanul cu gest tremurat. \u00cen\u0103untru erau doar c\u00e2teva haine, un portofel \u0219i\u2026 un teanc de h\u00e2rtii \u00eemp\u0103turite.<\/p>\n
Mi-a dat una.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am desf\u0103cut-o, mi s-au uscat instant buzele. H\u00e2rtie cu datorie. Sume uria\u0219e. Zeci de mii de lei. Semn\u0103turi. \u0218tampile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde ai asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am garantat cu casa mea pentru cine nu trebuia, a spus ea, cu vocea fr\u00e2nt\u0103. Pentru un b\u0103rbat care m-a min\u021bit. \u0218i acum vor tot. Casa, ma\u0219ina, banii\u2026 \u0219i pe mine dac\u0103 se poate.<\/p>\n
A privit geamul, iar soarele \u00eei desena lacrimi pe obraz.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fug de trei zile, Dorin. Dac\u0103 m\u0103 prind, nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 mai scap.<\/p>\n
Respira\u021bia mi s-a t\u0103iat. \u00cen partea mea de lume, auzisem pove\u0219ti asem\u0103n\u0103toare. Femei \u00een\u0219elate, case pierdute, datorii care te urm\u0103resc ca moartea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce vrei s\u0103 faci acum? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu. Doar s\u0103 ajung undeva unde nu m\u0103 g\u0103sesc. Undeva unde pot s\u0103 respir.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci mergem mai departe, am spus.<\/p>\n
Ea a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce? De ce m-ai ajuta? E\u0219ti un str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u0219i eu am fost singur. \u0218i \u0219tiu cum e s\u0103 nu ai pe nimeni care s\u0103-\u021bi zic\u0103 \u201ehai, c\u0103 te scot eu la liman\u201d.<\/p>\n
Simona \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, ca \u0219i cum \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i opreasc\u0103 suspinul.<\/p>\n
Drumul se \u00eentindea \u00eenainte ca o panglic\u0103 aprins\u0103 de ultimele raze ale soarelui. \u00centre noi nu mai era nici fric\u0103, nici ru\u0219ine. Doar o t\u0103cere moale, care te \u00eendeamn\u0103 s\u0103 vorbe\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei, pot suna un prieten din Alba Iulia, am spus dup\u0103 un timp. Are pensiune, e om cu suflet. Te-ar primi f\u0103r\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Simona a clipit larg, surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 e departe. \u0218i tu ai drumurile tale.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Drumurile mele pot a\u0219tepta.<\/p>\n
A r\u00e2s pentru prima dat\u0103. Un r\u00e2s scurt, stins, dar adev\u0103rat. Ca o f\u0103r\u00e2m\u0103 din cine fusese ea \u00eenainte de necazuri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 o faci, Dorin\u2026 \u00ee\u021bi datorez via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-mi datorezi nimic. Doar s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti. S\u0103 nu mai la\u0219i pe nimeni s\u0103 te calce \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
Am mers a\u0219a c\u00e2teva minute, \u00een lini\u0219te, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd cerul a devenit mov \u00eenchis, iar stelele au \u00eenceput s\u0103 apar\u0103 una c\u00e2te una.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00eencet, Simona \u0219i-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na spre a mea.<\/p>\n
Ezitant\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cald\u0103.<\/p>\n
A\u0219 fi putut s\u0103 o trag, dar am l\u0103sat-o s\u0103 vin\u0103 ea. A fost prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai fug\u0103rea trecutul, ci venea spre viitor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dorin\u2026 s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 nu sunt slab\u0103, a spus ea \u00eentr-un \u0219oapt\u0103. Am \u00eendurat multe. Doar c\u0103\u2026 uneori obose\u0219ti s\u0103 fii puternic\u0103 singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mai e\u0219ti singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au ie\u0219it de la sine, f\u0103r\u0103 g\u00e2ndire. \u0218i \u00een clipa aceea, am \u0219tiut c\u0103 asta era adev\u0103r curat.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am intrat \u00een San Miguel, ora\u0219ul era lini\u0219tit, luminile p\u00e2lp\u00e2iau, iar aerul mirosea a p\u0103m\u00e2nt cald \u0219i praf. Am parcat l\u00e2ng\u0103 o bodeg\u0103 modest\u0103.<\/p>\n
Simona s-a uitat la mine lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 dac\u0103 m\u0103 caut\u0103 aici?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci plec\u0103m imediat. Nu te las.<\/p>\n
Ochii ei s-au umplut de lacrimi. A dat s\u0103 le \u0219tearg\u0103, dar i-am prins m\u00e2na u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Simona\u2026 ai dreptul la o via\u021b\u0103 normal\u0103. Nu te mai l\u0103sa v\u00e2nat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi promit c\u0103 nu mai fug, Dorin. O s\u0103 lupt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu o s\u0103 fiu l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
Simona mi-a z\u00e2mbit altfel. Nu ca o femeie speriat\u0103. Nu ca o femeie care cere ajutor.<\/p>\n
Ci ca o femeie care rena\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, printre lumini slabe \u0219i pa\u0219i gr\u0103bi\u021bi pe str\u0103zi str\u00e2mte, am \u00een\u021beles am\u00e2ndoi acela\u0219i lucru:<\/p>\n
Nu v\u00e2rsta, nu trecutul \u0219i nu frica decid ce meri\u021bi \u00een via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci curajul de a mai \u00eencerca o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar ea, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u00eencerca.<\/p>\n
Iar eu eram acolo s\u0103 o v\u0103d cum reu\u0219e\u0219te.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
