Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde cu rochia \u00een m\u00e2ini, incapabil\u0103 s\u0103 respir. Praful acela alb se \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tia pe patul meu ca o avertizare mut\u0103. Am tras aer \u00een piept \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat pe marginea saltelei, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 \u00eemi limpezesc mintea. \u00cemi b\u0103tea inima at\u00e2t de tare, de parc\u0103 voia s\u0103 \u00eemi ias\u0103 din piept.<\/p>\n
Primul impuls a fost s\u0103-l sun pe Marian. Apoi, ca un fulger, mi-a trecut prin minte visul. Vocea lui tata. \u201eS\u0103 nu por\u021bi rochia.\u201d Am sim\u021bit dintr-odat\u0103 cum \u00eemi transpira spatele. Ce Dumnezeu se \u00eent\u00e2mpla?<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat \u0219i am \u00eenchis u\u0219a dormitorului, de parc\u0103 m\u0103 temeam c\u0103 praful \u0103la ar putea s\u0103 fug\u0103. Sau, mai r\u0103u, s\u0103 \u00eel vad\u0103 cineva. Am luat o pung\u0103 mare, transparent\u0103, \u0219i am pus rochia \u00een ea cu grij\u0103. Apoi am luat aspiratorul \u0219i am cur\u0103\u021bat patul, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 nu las nicio urm\u0103. Nu \u0219tiam ce era substan\u021ba aceea, dar instinctul \u00eemi spunea c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 o ascund.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am terminat, m\u00e2inile \u00eemi tremurau. M-am dus \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i mi-am turnat un pahar cu ap\u0103. Apoi altul. M-am sprijinit de blat \u0219i mi-am masat t\u00e2mplele. Poate exagerez. Poate era doar un material de \u00eent\u0103ritur\u0103. Dar forma\u2026 textura\u2026 ceva nu era normal.<\/p>\n
Am decis s\u0103 nu \u00eei spun nimic lui Marian. Nu \u00eenc\u0103. Voiam s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg ce am descoperit \u00eenainte s\u0103 m\u0103 arunc la concluzii.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103-amiaza, Nicoleta a venit acas\u0103. A deschis u\u0219a larg, cu veselia ei obi\u0219nuit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mamiii, ai probat rochia? Cum e?<\/p>\n
Sim\u021beam cum m\u0103 str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2013 E\u2026 frumoas\u0103, i-am spus, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 nu \u00eemi tr\u0103dez vocea. Dar mai are mici ajust\u0103ri. Trebuie s\u0103 trec m\u00e2ine pe la doamna Valc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit larg.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Tat\u0103l t\u0103u abia a\u0219teapt\u0103 s\u0103 te vad\u0103 cu ea. Zice c\u0103 o s\u0103 fii cea mai frumoas\u0103 de la restaurant!<\/p>\n
Mi-a fugit privirea spre geamul buc\u0103t\u0103riei. \u00cen curte, frunzele b\u0103teau u\u0219or \u00een v\u00e2nt. Am sim\u021bit din nou acel fior rece, ca \u0219i cum cineva m\u0103 privea.<\/p>\n
Noaptea, dup\u0103 ce au adormit to\u021bi, am scos punga cu rochia \u0219i am privit-o iar. Ce putea s\u0103 fie? Droguri? Vreo substan\u021b\u0103 chimic\u0103? Ce rost avea s\u0103 fie ascuns\u0103 \u00een rochia mea? Cine ar pune ceva at\u00e2t de ciudat acolo?<\/p>\n
\u0218i, mai ales, de ce?<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba urm\u0103toare, am plecat cu ma\u0219ina spre atelierul doamnei Valc\u0103. Am parcat chiar \u00een fa\u021ba u\u0219ii \u0219i am intrat cu rochia \u00een pung\u0103. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, a z\u00e2mbit politicos.<\/p>\n
\u2013 A, doamna Stoica! Trebuie s\u0103 mai str\u00e2ngem pu\u021bin \u00een talie?<\/p>\n
\u2013 A\u0219 vrea s\u0103 \u00eemi explica\u021bi ceva, i-am spus direct.<\/p>\n
I-am \u00eentins punga. A luat rochia, a desf\u0103cut-o \u0219i a v\u0103zut imediat cus\u0103tura rupt\u0103. Chipul ei s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Cine a umblat aici? a \u00eentrebat speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Eu. Am g\u0103sit ceva \u00een interior.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a \u00eentors rochia pe dos \u0219i a v\u0103zut resturile fine de praf, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Doamn\u0103\u2026 asta n-a fost de la mine. Eu nu pun a\u0219a ceva \u00een haine. Nici nu \u0219tiu ce e.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un fior pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Atunci cine?<\/p>\n
Croitoreasa a ridicat din umeri, tulburat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Rochia a fost adus\u0103 cu materialul deja preg\u0103tit. Eu doar am ajustat. So\u021bul dumneavoastr\u0103 a spus c\u0103 e pentru o ocazie special\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am auzit asta, m-am sim\u021bit de parc\u0103 cineva mi-ar fi tras podeaua de sub picioare. Marian? De ce ar face ceva at\u00e2t de\u2026 ciudat? Periculos?<\/p>\n
Am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun altceva. Am condus \u00eencet, cu g\u00e2ndurile \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate. C\u00e2nd am ajuns acas\u0103, Marian era \u00een living, \u00eembr\u0103cat impecabil, vorbind la telefon. M-a privit o secund\u0103, cu un z\u00e2mbet care nu \u00eemi spunea nimic. Nu era z\u00e2mbetul lui obi\u0219nuit. Era\u2026 altceva.<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa aceea, am sim\u021bit clar.<\/p>\n
Tata nu m\u0103 avertizase f\u0103r\u0103 motiv.<\/p>\n
Am intrat \u00een dormitor, am \u00eenchis u\u0219a \u0219i am luat telefonul. Aveam de f\u0103cut un singur lucru: s\u0103 verific ce era substan\u021ba aceea. S\u0103 aflu adev\u0103rul, oric\u00e2t de dureros ar fi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, mai ales, s\u0103 aflu de ce b\u0103rbatul cu care \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bisem dou\u0103zeci de ani din via\u021b\u0103 s-ar putea s\u0103 nu fie omul pe care credeam c\u0103 \u00eel cunosc.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai sim\u021beam doar nelini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Sim\u021beam pericol.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u0219tiam c\u0103 nu mai pot ignora vocea tatei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
