Daniel s-a apropiat cu pa\u0219i siguri, iar lini\u0219tea s-a a\u0219ternut peste \u00eentreaga sal\u0103.
Oamenii sim\u021beau c\u0103 urmeaz\u0103 ceva \u0219i nu voiau s\u0103 piard\u0103 niciun detaliu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 sunt probleme, a spus el, uit\u00e2ndu-se direct la mine.<\/p>\n
Martina s-a gr\u0103bit s\u0103 intervin\u0103.
\u2014 Daniel, nu te deranja. Doar \u00eel trimitem acas\u0103. Nu are rost s\u0103\u2014<\/p>\n
Dar Daniel a ridicat o spr\u00e2ncean\u0103, iar Martina a \u00eencremenit.
Apoi s-a \u00eentors spre mine \u0219i mi-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103lin, m\u0103 bucur s\u0103 te v\u0103d. Hai cu mine.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au plutit \u00een aer ca o bomb\u0103.
Andreea a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept, Emil a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec, iar Carla aproape a sc\u0103pat paharul.<\/p>\n
Martina a \u00eencercat \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103:
\u2014 Daniel, poate nu \u0219tii, dar\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu exact, a t\u0103iat-o scurt. \u0218i mai \u0219tiu c\u0103 acest om m-a ajutat, acum doi ani, c\u00e2nd restaurantul meu era la un pas de faliment.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit privirile tuturor arz\u00e2ndu-mi \u00een ceaf\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103lin e contabilul care a g\u0103sit gre\u0219elile f\u0103cute de vechiul meu asociat. Dac\u0103 nu era el, azi n-a\u0219 mai fi avut niciun local de condus.<\/p>\n
Martina a p\u0103lit.
Andreea \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Daniel a continuat:
\u2014 \u0218i pentru c\u0103 nu uit binele f\u0103cut, orice prieten al meu e primit aici ca familie.<\/p>\n
Mi-a f\u0103cut semn s\u0103 merg dup\u0103 el.
Am p\u0103\u0219it, iar \u00eenainte s\u0103 trec de masa lor, m-am oprit \u0219i m-am uitat la soacra mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 nu mai e nevoie de locul meu? am \u00eentrebat calm.<\/p>\n
Martina a deschis gura, dar nu a scos niciun sunet.
Pentru prima dat\u0103, p\u0103rea pierdut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Andreea s-a ridicat brusc.
\u2014 C\u0103lin\u2026 Vin cu tine.<\/p>\n
A fost momentul \u00een care \u00eentreg restaurantul a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.
Carla \u0219i Emil s-au uitat la ea de parc\u0103 tocmai tr\u0103dase familia.<\/p>\n
Eu am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.
Nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptasem la asta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti sigur\u0103? am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. M-am s\u0103turat s\u0103 tac. M-am s\u0103turat s\u0103 te lase mereu la margine.<\/p>\n
Martina a izbucnit:
\u2014 Andreea! Cum po\u021bi s\u0103 alegi\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe so\u021bul meu, mama. Da, \u00eel aleg pe el.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele ei au t\u0103iat mai ad\u00e2nc dec\u00e2t orice replic\u0103.
Martina a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 glas, iar pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba ei, n-a mai avut controlul situa\u021biei.<\/p>\n
Daniel ne-a condus \u00eentr-o sal\u0103 privat\u0103, cu lumin\u0103 cald\u0103 \u0219i lini\u0219te.
A adus personal meniurile, iar apoi a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cina e din partea casei. \u0218i dac\u0103 vre\u021bi, schimb \u0219i rezervarea. Masa voastr\u0103 poate fi aici, nu acolo.<\/p>\n
Andreea a l\u0103sat capul \u00een jos.
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u pentru tot\u2026<\/p>\n
Am prins-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.
\u2014 Nu ai de ce. Azi s-au schimbat multe.<\/p>\n
Am m\u00e2ncat lini\u0219ti\u021bi, f\u0103r\u0103 priviri t\u0103ioase, f\u0103r\u0103 superioritate, f\u0103r\u0103 ru\u0219ine.
Pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu mai sunt \u201eb\u0103iatul care nu se ridic\u0103 la nivelul lor\u201d.
Eram un om cu valoare, cu demnitate, iar so\u021bia mea v\u0103zuse asta cu ochii ei.<\/p>\n
La finalul cinei, c\u00e2nd am ie\u0219it din salon, Martina st\u0103tea afar\u0103, singur\u0103, cu telefonul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se ocupat\u0103.
C\u00e2nd ne-a v\u0103zut, a ridicat privirea, \u00eenvinuit\u0103 \u0219i furioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andreea, putem vorbi?<\/p>\n
Dar Andreea a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2na mea mai tare.
\u2014 M\u00e2ine. Azi nu.<\/p>\n
Am trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, iar de data asta nu am mai sim\u021bit nod \u00een stomac.
Nu mai aveam nimic de demonstrat.<\/p>\n
Pe treptele restaurantului, Andreea m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 nu m-ai l\u0103sat singur\u0103, a spus ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 ai ales, i-am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
Sub luminile stradale din Cluj, am sim\u021bit c\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103, via\u021ba noastr\u0103 abia acum \u00eencepe cu adev\u0103rat\u2026
nu sub umbra Martinei, nu sub judecat\u0103, ci sub ceva mult mai puternic:<\/p>\n
Respect.
Demnitate.
\u0218i doi oameni care \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it mergeau \u00een aceea\u0219i direc\u021bie.<\/p>\n
