Daniel a traversat sala ca \u0219i cum ar fi fost st\u0103p\u00e2n pe fiecare centimetru al ei. C\u00e2nd a ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba mea, mi-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na \u0219i m-a b\u0103tut pe um\u0103r cu o familiaritate care a f\u0103cut \u00eentreaga mas\u0103 a Martinei s\u0103 \u00eencremeneasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103line, ce surpriz\u0103 pl\u0103cut\u0103! De ce nu m-ai anun\u021bat c\u0103 vii?<\/p>\n
Martina a \u00eenghe\u021bat. Pentru prima dat\u0103, t\u0103cerea ei nu era inten\u021bionat\u0103 \u2014 era \u0219oc.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum aerul se schimb\u0103. Toat\u0103 \u00eencrederea ei dispre\u021buitoare se evaporase \u00eentr-o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De fapt, \u2014 am zis calm \u2014 am o mic\u0103 problem\u0103. Se pare c\u0103 nu figurez pe lista invita\u021bilor.<\/p>\n
Daniel m-a privit o clip\u0103, apoi s-a \u00eentors spre metre.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 nu e invitat? Dac\u0103 vine la mine, e invitat oriunde. Preg\u0103te\u0219te imediat masa mea privat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Un zumzet s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit \u00een sal\u0103. Nu mul\u021bi \u0219tiau c\u0103 restaurantul avea o sal\u0103 privat\u0103, iar \u0219i mai pu\u021bini aveau acces la ea.<\/p>\n
Martina a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Daniel, cred c\u0103 e o ne\u00een\u021belegere. Noi avem o cin\u0103 \u00een familie\u2026<\/p>\n
Daniel \u0219i-a ridicat o spr\u00e2ncean\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ah, da? Interesant. Pentru c\u0103 familia mea<\/strong> \u00eel consider\u0103 pe C\u0103lin unul dintre cei mai buni oameni cu care am lucrat vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n Soacra mea a clipit de parc\u0103 nu mai \u00een\u021belegea limba rom\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Voi\u2026 a\u021bi lucrat\u2026 \u00eempreun\u0103?<\/p>\n Daniel a z\u00e2mbit cald.<\/p>\n \u2014 C\u0103lin a fost consultantul care m-a ajutat s\u0103 salvez afacerea \u00een pandemie. Dac\u0103 nu era el, \u00eenchideam definitiv. Dar v\u0103d c\u0103 dumneavoastr\u0103 nu \u0219tia\u021bi\u2026<\/p>\n Martina s-a \u00eenro\u0219it p\u00e2n\u0103 la urechi.<\/p>\n Andreea m-a privit cu ochii umezi, ru\u0219inat\u0103 de t\u0103cerea ei.<\/p>\n Eu am r\u0103mas calm.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu am considerat necesar s\u0103 spun, am murmurat. Nu-mi place s\u0103 m\u0103 laud.<\/p>\n Daniel a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n \u2014 Asta te face \u0219i mai valoros, m\u0103i b\u0103iete.<\/p>\n Apoi m-a privit foarte serios.<\/p>\n \u2014 Vrei s\u0103 cinezi cu mine? Masa e preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n Am sim\u021bit toate privirile asupra mea. Martinei \u00eei tremura b\u0103rbia de furie.<\/p>\n M-am \u00eentors spre so\u021bia mea.<\/p>\n \u2014 Andreea, vii \u0219i tu?<\/p>\n Ea s-a ridicat aproape instant. Nici urm\u0103 de ezitare. Privirea ei spunea tot.<\/p>\n \u2014 Da. Vreau s\u0103 merg cu tine.<\/p>\n Carla \u0219i Emil au r\u0103mas cu gurile c\u0103scate.<\/p>\n Martina s-a repezit spre fiic\u0103-sa.<\/p>\n \u2014 Stai! Unde crezi c\u0103 pleci? Este cin\u0103 \u00een familie!<\/p>\n Andreea s-a \u00eentors spre ea.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 C\u0103lin e familia mea.<\/p>\n Un murmur a str\u0103b\u0103tut sala. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, so\u021bia mea g\u0103sise curajul pe care \u00eel a\u0219teptam de mult.<\/p>\n Martina a r\u0103mas pe loc, \u00een\u021bepenit\u0103.<\/p>\n Eu am dat din cap spre Daniel.<\/p>\n \u2014 Haide\u021bi.<\/p>\n Ne-a dus \u00een sala privat\u0103 \u2014 o camer\u0103 cald\u0103, elegant\u0103, cu lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u0219i vin rom\u00e2nesc scump. Departe de privirile r\u0103ut\u0103cioase \u0219i de arogan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n Andreea m-a apucat de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u\u2026 pentru tot.<\/p>\n Am privit-o cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu e vina ta. Important e c\u0103 suntem aici. \u00cempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n Daniel a z\u00e2mbit, turn\u00e2nd vin \u00een pahare.<\/p>\n \u2014 S\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 nu mul\u021bi au puterea s\u0103 fac\u0103 ceea ce a\u021bi f\u0103cut am\u00e2ndoi \u00een seara asta. Curajul e mai rar dec\u00e2t banii, crede\u021bi-m\u0103.<\/p>\n Andreea a oftat, sprijinindu-\u0219i capul pe um\u0103rul meu.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ea nu te merit\u0103 ca ginere, dar eu te merit ca so\u021b.<\/p>\n Am str\u00e2ns-o la piept, sim\u021bind cum toat\u0103 tensiunea se tope\u0219te.<\/p>\n \u00cen sala principal\u0103, \u0219tiam c\u0103 Martina fierbe.
