Am sim\u021bit cum aerul rece din buc\u0103t\u0103rie m\u0103 love\u0219te \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, ca un trezitor brusc. T\u0103lpile mi se \u00eempiedicau \u00een rochia prea lung\u0103, dar Sorina m\u0103 tr\u0103gea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite \u00eenapoi. Luminile fluorescente p\u00e2lp\u00e2iau peste tig\u0103ile aruncate, mesele pline \u0219i vasele l\u0103sate la sp\u0103lat, iar buc\u0103tarii, surprin\u0219i, au r\u0103mas nemi\u0219ca\u021bi, cu polonicele \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina, ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103? \u2014 am reu\u0219it s\u0103 g\u00e2f\u00e2i, dar ea nu s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu aici \u2014 a \u0219optit. \u2014 Hai!<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it printr-o u\u0219\u0103 de serviciu \u0219i am ajuns \u00een spatele cl\u0103dirii, \u00een parcarea pentru angaja\u021bi. Aerul nop\u021bii m-a lovit \u00een pl\u0103m\u00e2ni \u0219i, pentru o clip\u0103, am vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 opresc, s\u0103 respir, s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103. Dar Sorina nu mi-a dat voie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Intr\u0103! \u2014 a spus, \u00eemping\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 spre ma\u0219ina ei, o Dacie veche, vopsit\u0103 cu spray negru, cu aripi ruginite.<\/p>\n
Am urcat, iar Sorina a pornit motorul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina, vorbe\u0219te! Ce are Dan? Ce ai v\u0103zut? Ce v-a\u021bi zis voi \u00eenainte de nunt\u0103?<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec, a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u0219i a pornit \u00een tromb\u0103, ie\u0219ind din parcarea Conservatorului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maria\u2026 nunt\u0103 asta n-a fost f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru tine. A fost f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru el.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eencruntat, cu stomacul str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta?<\/p>\n
Sorina a privit drumul, apoi pe mine, \u0219i am v\u0103zut ceva \u00een ochii ei ce nu mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103: fric\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103, crud\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am intrat \u00een dressingul lui, \u00een timp ce tu erai cu fotograful. Am vrut doar s\u0103 \u00eei iau butoniera, c\u0103 uitase s\u0103 o prind\u0103. Dar\u2026 am g\u0103sit un plic. Unul gros, cu numele t\u0103u pe el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat, de\u0219i vocea \u00eemi tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen\u0103untru era o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie. Pe numele t\u0103u. De dou\u0103 sute cincizeci de mii de lei. Cu scaden\u021b\u0103\u2026 azi. \u0218i semn\u0103tura\u2026 nu era a ta.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum tot s\u00e2ngele \u00eemi cade \u00een stomac. Nu avea cum. Eu nu semnasem nimic, niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce ar face asta? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat, abia \u0219optind.<\/p>\n
Sorina a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii tortul \u0103la \u201especial\u201d? Nu era glazur\u0103 special\u0103. Era ceva \u00een interior. Am v\u0103zut cum unul dintre chelneri a pus o fiol\u0103 \u00een stratul din mijloc \u0219i i-a dat un semn lui Dan. \u0218i Dan\u2026 Dan a aprobat.<\/p>\n
M-am sim\u021bit ca \u0219i cum cineva mi-ar fi tras podeaua de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deci voia s\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da \u2014 a zis ea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 priveasc\u0103. \u2014 S\u0103 cazi acolo, \u00een fa\u021ba tuturor. \u0218i apoi s\u0103 par\u0103 un accident. Datoria ar fi trecut la el\u2026 \u0219i averea bunicii. Tot.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile mi-au umplut ochii, dar nu aveam timp s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng. Pentru c\u0103 Sorina a \u00eenjurat brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021aine-te!<\/p>\n
\u00cen oglinda retrovizoare, farurile unui SUV negru se apropiau cu vitez\u0103. \u00cel \u0219tiam. Ma\u0219ina lui Dan.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ne urm\u0103re\u0219te! \u2014 am strigat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Normal c\u0103 ne urm\u0103re\u0219te! \u2014 a rostit Sorina, tr\u0103g\u00e2nd volanul brusc la dreapta, intr\u00e2nd pe un drum secundar spre marginea ora\u0219ului.<\/p>\n
Drumul era \u00eentunecat, flancat de c\u00e2mpuri \u0219i c\u00e2teva case izolate. Dacia hurducaia din toate \u00eencheieturile, iar farurile SUV-ului se apropiau ca dou\u0103 ochiuri de foc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina, o s\u0103 ne prind\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu dac\u0103 ajungem la Mo\u0219 Ilie \u2014 a spus ea printre din\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine e Mo\u0219 Ilie?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Singurul om care are curajul s\u0103 stea \u00een calea lui Dan.<\/p>\n
Ma\u0219ina a luat o groap\u0103, iar eu m-am lovit cu um\u0103rul de portier\u0103. SUV-ul a venit \u0219i mai aproape, claxon\u00e2nd lung, amenin\u021b\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai repede! \u2014 am strigat.<\/p>\n
Sorina a ap\u0103sat accelera\u021bia p\u00e2n\u0103 la podea. Motorul Daciei urla ca un animal r\u0103nit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen dep\u0103rtare, am v\u0103zut o lumini\u021b\u0103. O cas\u0103 mic\u0103, cu pridvor, iar \u00een fa\u021ba ei \u2014 un b\u0103rbat b\u0103tr\u00e2n, sprijinit \u00eentr-un baston, privind direct spre noi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E el! \u2014 a spus Sorina.<\/p>\n
SUV-ul s-a apropiat, preg\u0103tit s\u0103 ne loveasc\u0103 din spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sorina!<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021aine-te! \u2014 a strigat ea.<\/p>\n
A virat brusc \u00een curtea b\u0103tr\u00e2nului. Ro\u021bile au sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it pe pietri\u0219, iar ma\u0219ina s-a oprit la c\u00e2\u021biva centimetri de gardul de lemn.<\/p>\n
SUV-ul s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, motorul morm\u0103ind ca o fiar\u0103 gata s\u0103 sar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mo\u0219 Ilie a p\u0103\u0219it \u00eenainte, ridic\u00e2nd bastonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Gata, Dane! \u2014 a strigat, cu o voce at\u00e2t de puternic\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t mi s-a zb\u00e2rlit pielea. \u2014 Aici nu treci. Nu azi.<\/p>\n
Dan a ie\u0219it din ma\u0219in\u0103, cu ochii plini de ur\u0103. Dar c\u00e2nd privirea lui a \u00eent\u00e2lnit-o pe cea a b\u0103tr\u00e2nului, ceva s-a schimbat. A f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi aminte\u0219ti? \u2014 a spus Mo\u0219 Ilie. \u2014 \u021ai-am spus c\u0103 dac\u0103 mai pui m\u00e2na vreodat\u0103 pe vreo fat\u0103 nevinovat\u0103, o s\u0103 fie ultima.<\/p>\n
Dan a \u00eenghe\u021bat. A privit \u00een jur, apoi spre noi. \u0218i f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt, s-a urcat \u00een SUV \u0219i a plecat \u00een tromb\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd lini\u0219tea s-a a\u0219ternut, genunchii mi s-au \u00eenmuiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc\u2026 \u2014 am reu\u0219it s\u0103 \u0219optesc.<\/p>\n
Mo\u0219 Ilie s-a apropiat, \u0219i-a scos p\u0103l\u0103ria \u0219i m-a privit cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be nea\u0219teptat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Drag\u0103 fat\u0103\u2026 ai sc\u0103pat ca prin urechile acului. Dar de azi \u00eenainte, tr\u0103ie\u0219te pentru tine. Nu pentru ce vrea altul.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit lacrimile curg\u00e2ndu-mi pe obraji. Sorina m-a luat \u00een bra\u021be, tremur\u00e2nd la fel ca mine.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea nu mi-am pierdut via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Mi-am c\u00e2\u0219tigat-o.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
