Toma a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103, cu adev\u0103rat, frica. Nu frica de a fi prins, ci frica de a-\u0219i da seama c\u00e2t de pu\u021bin o cuno\u0219tea pe femeia cu care dormea de doisprezece ani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jimena, te rog\u2026 putem vorbi acas\u0103, a spus el, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i recapete controlul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce acas\u0103? a \u00eentrebat ea calm. Aici e foarte potrivit. Aici se v\u0103d bine adev\u0103rurile.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un semn discret c\u0103tre recep\u021bioner\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Anula\u021bi rezervarea, v\u0103 rog. \u0218i nota\u021bi \u00een sistem c\u0103 domnul Briones nu mai are drept de plat\u0103 din conturile firmei mele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Firmei tale? a sc\u0103pat Toma, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Jimena s-a uitat la el, pentru prima dat\u0103 cu un strop de mil\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. Firma mea. Hotelul, dou\u0103 spa\u021bii comerciale \u0219i un teren la marginea Bra\u0219ovului. Toate cump\u0103rate legal. Din economii, investi\u021bii \u0219i\u2026 bani pe care tu i-ai considerat mereu \u201eneimportan\u021bi\u201d.<\/p>\n
Nadia f\u0103cea un pas \u00eenapoi, apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 eu nu \u0219tiam c\u0103 e c\u0103s\u0103torit, a b\u00e2iguit ea.<\/p>\n
Jimena a \u00eentors capul spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba \u0219tiai. \u0218i \u0219tii \u0219i acum. Diferen\u021ba e c\u0103 acum nu mai merit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u0219i-a mutat privirea \u00eenapoi la Toma.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am citit mesajele. \u021ai-am v\u0103zut deplas\u0103rile. Am urm\u0103rit fiecare leu cheltuit din cont. Nu pentru c\u0103 n-a\u0219 fi avut \u00eencredere. Ci pentru c\u0103 am sim\u021bit c\u0103 ceva nu e \u00een regul\u0103.<\/p>\n
Toma a \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar nu i-a ie\u0219it niciun cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce m-a durut cel mai tare? a continuat ea. Nu amanta. Nu hotelurile. Ci faptul c\u0103 m-ai considerat proast\u0103. O femeie care g\u0103te\u0219te, spal\u0103 \u0219i a\u0219teapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar \u00een timp ce tu jucai teatru prin hoteluri, eu construiam ceva real.<\/p>\n
A scos un dosar sub\u021bire din geant\u0103 \u0219i i l-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Actele de divor\u021b. Sunt deja depuse. Avocatul t\u0103u le va primi m\u00e2ine.<\/p>\n
Holul hotelului era complet t\u0103cut. To\u021bi se uitau, nimeni nu intervenea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Casa? a \u00eentrebat el, cu voce mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A mea. Copiii? Cu mine. Tu vei avea drept de vizit\u0103. Dac\u0103 vrei.<\/p>\n
Nadia s-a \u00eentors \u0219i a ie\u0219it aproape alerg\u00e2nd din hotel, cu ochii \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Toma a r\u0103mas singur, mic, strivit de propriile minciuni.<\/p>\n
Jimena s-a apropiat de el pentru ultima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai vrut ce e mai bun, nu? a spus \u00eencet. Ei bine, asta am devenit eu. F\u0103r\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
S-a \u00eentors \u0219i a mers spre biroul de administra\u021bie, unde angaja\u021bii o a\u0219teptau deja.<\/p>\n
Toma a r\u0103mas \u00een hol, cu cardul inutil \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00een timp ce u\u0219ile liftului se \u00eenchideau \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, el a pierdut tot.<\/p>\n
Iar Jimena a c\u00e2\u0219tigat, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, pe ea \u00eens\u0103\u0219i<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Toma a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103, cu adev\u0103rat, frica.
