\u201eNu po\u021bi s\u0103-i la\u0219i a\u0219a\u201d, a \u0219optit Lidia, vocea tremur\u00e2nd. \u201eTu ai \u021binut casa asta pe picioare. Mama \u0219tie asta\u2026 chiar \u0219i tata \u0219tie, doar c\u0103 nu vrea s\u0103 recunoasc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis fermoarul de la geant\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez calmul.
\u201eNu e treaba mea s\u0103 mai repar nimic aici, Lidia. Dac\u0103 m\u0103 vor plecat, o s\u0103 le dau exact ce-au cerut.\u201d
Ea s-a a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului, tr\u0103g\u00e2ndu-\u0219i genunchii la piept.
\u201eMi-e fric\u0103\u2026 dac\u0103 au f\u0103cut asta cu tine, ce-o s\u0103 fac\u0103 cu mine c\u00e2nd o s\u0103 am nevoie de ajutor?\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.
\u201ePe tine n-o s\u0103 te lase. E\u0219ti copilul lor cel mic. Dar dac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 sim\u021bi c\u0103 nu mai e\u0219ti \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103 aici, m\u0103 suni \u0219i vin imediat, indiferent unde sunt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lidia a dat din cap, dar ochii \u00eei spuneau clar c\u0103 nu era lini\u0219tit\u0103.
\u0218i adev\u0103rul era c\u0103 nici eu nu eram.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba m-a prins treaz, cu bagajele l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103.
Nu dormisem aproape deloc.
Pe la \u0219apte, am cobor\u00e2t sc\u0103rile.
Casa mirosea \u00eenc\u0103 a cozonac, dar c\u0103ldura s\u0103rb\u0103torilor disp\u0103ruse complet.<\/p>\n
Mama era \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, cu o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2ini.
C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, \u0219i-a mu\u0219cat buza de jos, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar nu avea curaj.
Tata st\u0103tea la mas\u0103, r\u0103sfoind ziarul, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se ocupat.<\/p>\n
\u201ePleci?\u201d, a \u00eentrebat mama \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDa.\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis ochii pentru o secund\u0103, apoi a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103.
Nici m\u0103car nu \u0219tia cum s\u0103 reac\u021bioneze.
Tata nici nu s-a uitat la mine.
A r\u0103sfoit mai departe, de parc\u0103 eram un musafir care pleac\u0103 dup\u0103 un weekend banal.<\/p>\n
Am pus cheile pe mas\u0103.
\u201eS\u0103 ave\u021bi grij\u0103 de voi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tata a pufnit.
\u201eNe descurc\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors s\u0103 ies, dar exact atunci Lidia a cobor\u00e2t sc\u0103rile fugind \u0219i s-a aruncat \u00een bra\u021bele mele.
\u201eTe rog s\u0103 m\u0103 suni c\u00e2nd ajungi. Te rog.\u201d
Am str\u00e2ns-o tare.
Ea era singurul motiv pentru care plecam cu inima grea, nu cu furie.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it din cas\u0103 \u00een frigul t\u0103ios al dimine\u021bii \u0219i am \u00eenchis portiera ma\u0219inii.
Pe moment am sim\u021bit o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103, aproape eliberatoare.
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een ani de zile, nu mai trebuia s\u0103 fiu \u201esalvatorul casei\u201d.
Nu mai eram responsabil pentru luminile aprinse, pentru frigiderul plin, pentru facturile la zi.<\/p>\n
Am condus spre centrul ora\u0219ului, f\u0103r\u0103 o destina\u021bie clar\u0103.
Telefonul vibra continuu: mesaje de la Lidia.
Niciunul de la ai no\u0219tri.<\/p>\n
Pe la pr\u00e2nz, am ajuns la un apartament pe care-l v\u0103zusem de c\u00e2teva ori online, un mic studio \u00een chirie, la 1.800 de lei pe lun\u0103.
Nu era mult, nu era pu\u021bin, dar era al meu.
Al meu, f\u0103r\u0103 reguli schimbate peste noapte, f\u0103r\u0103 repro\u0219uri, f\u0103r\u0103 priviri care te taie \u00een dou\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am intrat pentru prima dat\u0103, mirosul de var proasp\u0103t m-a lovit instant.
O camer\u0103 simpl\u0103, luminoas\u0103, cu ferestre mari \u0219i podea curat\u0103.
Nu aveam nimic \u00een afar\u0103 de dou\u0103 gen\u021bi, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 nu m-am sim\u021bit \u201ef\u0103r\u0103 cas\u0103\u201d.
M-am sim\u021bit liber.<\/p>\n
Mi-am l\u0103sat bagajele pe jos \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat pe podea, sprijinindu-mi spatele de perete.
Am oftat ad\u00e2nc.
Totul era ciudat, nea\u0219teptat, dar\u2026 corect.
Era \u00eenceputul a ceva nou.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva ore, telefonul a sunat.
Lidia.<\/p>\n
\u201eAu \u00eenceput deja s\u0103 se certe\u201d, a spus ea.
\u201eCurentul e neachitat. Tata a \u00eentrebat unde sunt chitan\u021bele. Mama nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103-i r\u0103spund\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis ochii.
Exact cum \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n
\u201eO s\u0103 fie bine, Lydia. \u0218tiu c\u0103 acum pare greu, dar o s\u0103 fie bine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eMi-e team\u0103 c\u0103 o s\u0103 vin\u0103 la tine s\u0103-\u021bi cear\u0103 bani\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu\u201d, am spus. \u201e\u0218i dac\u0103 vin, o s\u0103 aud\u0103 pentru prima dat\u0103 cuv\u00e2ntul nu<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Am sim\u021bit-o cum z\u00e2mbe\u0219te prin telefon, chiar dac\u0103 era triste\u021be \u00een glasul ei. C\u00e2nd am \u00eenchis apelul, am r\u0103mas cu privirea fixat\u0103 pe tavanul alb. \u0218i \u00een ziua aia, \u00een apartamentul gol, cu viitorul complet necunoscut, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een ani de zile respir cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n Era \u00eenceputul vie\u021bii mele \u2014 nu a lor, nu a obliga\u021biilor mele. \u201eNu po\u021bi s\u0103-i la\u0219i a\u0219a\u201d, a \u0219optit Lidia, vocea tremur\u00e2nd. \u201eTu ai \u021binut casa asta pe picioare.

Cr\u0103ciunul care trebuia s\u0103 fie o s\u0103rb\u0103toare se transformase \u00eentr-un punct de cotitur\u0103.
