Am prins-o pe so\u021bia mea de bra\u021b \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103 z\u00e2mbesc, de\u0219i sim\u021beam cum \u00eemi fug picioarele.
\u2014 Hai, totul bine? am \u00eentrebat c\u00e2t am putut de natural.
\u2014 Da\u2026 cred c\u0103 da, a zis ea, evit\u00e2ndu-mi privirea.<\/p>\n
Acel \u201ecred c\u0103 da\u201d m-a \u00een\u021bepat drept \u00een piept. De obicei \u00eemi povestea tot, chiar \u0219i cele mai mici lucruri. Acum \u00eens\u0103\u2026 ceva era diferit. Prea diferit.<\/p>\n
Am pornit spre ie\u0219ire cu pa\u0219i mici, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par calm. M\u0103 uitam \u00een jur f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 atrag aten\u021bia: asistente gr\u0103bite, oameni cu perfuzii, un mo\u0219 care se certa cu o infirmier\u0103 c\u0103 nu-i g\u0103sea bonul de la radiografie. Totul p\u0103rea normal. Prea normal.<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2\u021biva metri \u00een spatele nostru, doctorul ne urm\u0103rea cu coada ochiului. C\u00e2nd privirile ni s-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit, mi-a f\u0103cut un semn at\u00e2t de discret \u00eenc\u00e2t doar datorit\u0103 panicii am \u00een\u021beles: \u201eIe\u0219i\u021bi acum\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am ajuns la u\u0219a lateral\u0103. So\u021bia mea s-a oprit brusc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219teapt\u0103 pu\u021bin, a spus. Mi-am uitat geanta pe scaun.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Las\u0103, \u021bi-o aduc eu, i-am zis repede.<\/p>\n
Dar a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, o iau eu. E a mea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci am v\u0103zut ceva. M\u00e2na ei dreapt\u0103 tremura. Dar tremura ciudat, nu ca atunci c\u00e2nd e anxioas\u0103. Tremura de parc\u0103 ar fi vrut s\u0103 fac\u0103 ceva\u2026 \u0219i se ab\u021binea.<\/p>\n
M-am trezit zic\u00e2nd-o f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei, putem trece pe la farmacie dup\u0103 calmante.<\/p>\n
Ea m-a privit ciudat. O privire scurt\u0103, t\u0103ioas\u0103, str\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde \u0219tii tu c\u0103 \u00eemi trebuie calmante?<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum tot aerul din holul \u0103la \u00eenghe\u021bat mi se str\u00e2nge \u00een piept.
\u2014 P\u0103i\u2026 ai ame\u021beli, dureri\u2026 doar \u00eencerc s\u0103 ajut.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a z\u00e2mbit. Un z\u00e2mbet care nu era al ei. Un z\u00e2mbet prea larg, prea fix.
Un z\u00e2mbet care m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 medicul nu exagerase deloc.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it \u00een gr\u0103din\u0103, iar aerul rece m-a lovit ca un du\u0219 de realitate. O banc\u0103 metalic\u0103 sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ia \u00een v\u00e2nt. Dou\u0103 asistente fumau l\u00e2ng\u0103 un felinar. O femeie \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea cruce \u00een timp ce se uita la telefon.<\/p>\n
Telefon. Poli\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Dar cum? Ce s\u0103 zic? Ce s\u0103 recunosc?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 mergem spre ma\u0219in\u0103, am spus, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi st\u0103p\u00e2nesc vocea.<\/p>\n
Dar so\u021bia mea nu s-a mi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce e ciudat? a spus \u00eencet. C\u0103 doctorul \u0103la m-a oprit \u0219i pe mine \u00een laborator.<\/p>\n
Inima mi-a s\u0103rit o b\u0103taie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te-a oprit?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. S-a uitat lung la mine\u2026 prea lung. Ca \u0219i cum\u2026 m-ar fi recunoscut.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 ce \u021bi-a spus?<\/p>\n
A \u00eentors capul spre mine. Privirea ei era fix\u0103, rece, imposibil de citit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a spus c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 fiu atent\u0103 cu cine vin la spital.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenmoaie genunchii.
Ea a f\u0103cut doi pa\u0219i spre mine.
\u2014 \u0218i c\u0103 uneori, cei care par \u00eengrijora\u021bi\u2026 sunt exact cei care ascund ceva.<\/p>\n
V\u00e2ntul a fo\u0219nit prin frunzele uscate, ca un avertisment.
Telefonul meu vibra \u00een buzunar. C\u00e2nd l-am scos, am v\u0103zut un num\u0103r necunoscut. Am r\u0103spuns instinctiv.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00eenchide, a zis o voce. Sunt doctorul. Pleca\u021bi acum. Cineva a \u00eencercat s\u0103 acceseze fi\u0219a so\u021biei tale. \u0218i\u2026 nu e\u0219ti tu.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
So\u021bia mea s-a apropiat at\u00e2t de mult \u00eenc\u00e2t i-am sim\u021bit parfumul.
\u2014 Cu cine vorbe\u0219ti? a \u00eentrebat cu un ton care m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103-mi fug\u0103 s\u00e2ngele din vene.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu\u2026 cineva de la serviciu, am b\u00e2iguit.<\/p>\n
Vocea doctorului continua:
\u2014 Nu te uita \u00eenapoi. Mergi spre parcare. Cheam\u0103 poli\u021bia imediat ce sunte\u021bi \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis.
Apoi am privit-o pe so\u021bia mea.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba ei p\u0103rea aceea\u0219i.
Dar \u00een ochii ei era ceva ce nu v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 mergem, am spus. Acum.<\/p>\n
Am apucat-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.
Rece ca ghea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Pe drumul spre parcare, sim\u021beam c\u0103 fiecare pas ne poate schimba destinul.
C\u0103 fiecare gest poate declan\u0219a ceva.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, c\u00e2nd am ajuns la ma\u0219in\u0103, am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 adev\u0103rul avea s\u0103 doar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar aveam s\u0103-l aflu.<\/p>\n
