Elena a ridicat privirea exact \u00een momentul \u00een care t\u00e2n\u0103ra a intrat \u00een salon.<\/p>\n
Nu a fost nevoie de explica\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Felul \u00een care Radu a \u00eencremenit, respira\u021bia care i s-a t\u0103iat, ochii larg deschi\u0219i de team\u0103 \u2014 toate spuneau adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eCine e\u0219ti?\u201d a \u00eentrebat Elena calm, ridic\u00e2ndu-se de pe scaun.<\/p>\n
Fata a ezitat o clip\u0103. Apoi \u0219i-a ridicat b\u0103rbia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eSunt\u2026 prietena lui Radu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuv\u00e2ntul \u201eprietena\u201d a plutit greu \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
Radu a \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar i-a ie\u0219it doar un geam\u0103t stins.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eAm venit s\u0103-l v\u0103d\u2026 s\u0103-mi iau r\u0103mas-bun,\u201d a continuat ea, cu o voce care tremura doar pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Elena a privit-o atent. Era frumoas\u0103. T\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103. Cam de v\u00e2rsta la care ea fusese c\u00e2nd Radu \u00eencepuse s\u0103 o \u00een\u0219ele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201ePo\u021bi s\u0103 intri,\u201d a spus Elena, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un pas \u00een lateral. \u201eNu te opresc.\u201d<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103ra a p\u0103rut surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eNu te superi?\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit. Un z\u00e2mbet gol.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eM-am sup\u0103rat acum doisprezece ani. De atunci, nu mai simt nimic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fata s-a apropiat de pat. L-a atins pe Radu pe m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eIubire\u2026 am venit,\u201d a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
Ochii lui Radu s-au umplut de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eIart\u0103-m\u0103\u2026\u201d a murmurat, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tie cui \u00eei vorbe\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, Elena a ie\u0219it din salon. A mers p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103tul holului \u0219i s-a oprit l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani \u00eentregi, respira ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
Nu mai trebuia s\u0103 fie nimic. Nici so\u021bie, nici st\u00e2lp, nici t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o jum\u0103tate de or\u0103, t\u00e2n\u0103ra a ie\u0219it cu ochii ro\u0219ii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eA adormit,\u201d a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Elena a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201ePo\u021bi s\u0103 pleci lini\u0219tit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eNu r\u0103m\u00e2i sup\u0103rat\u0103 pe mine?\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena a privit-o drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eNu. Tu ai fost doar efectul. Cauza e acolo, \u00een pat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea noapte, Radu nu s-a mai trezit.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, medicul a constatat decesul.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare, lumea vorbea despre ce b\u0103rbat mare fusese, despre afacerile lui, despre \u201efamilia unit\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Elena st\u0103tea dreapt\u0103, cu copiii l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 slujb\u0103, avocatul s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eDoamn\u0103 Radu, trebuie s\u0103 vorbim despre testament.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, adev\u0103rul a ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Radu \u00ee\u0219i l\u0103sase mare parte din bani amantei. Credea c\u0103 astfel \u201e\u00eendreapt\u0103 lucrurile\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dar nu \u0219tia tot.<\/p>\n
Elena economisise ani la r\u00e2nd. Avea conturi pe numele ei. Avea casa trecut\u0103 legal \u00een coproprietate. Avea meseria ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, mai ales, avea libertatea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, singur\u0103 \u00een dormitor, \u0219i-a amintit ultima lor conversa\u021bie.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Radu, cu voce stins\u0103, o \u00eentrebase:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201eDe ce nu m-ai p\u0103r\u0103sit?\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci, ea se aplecase \u0219i \u00eei \u0219optise:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201ePentru c\u0103 plecarea ar fi fost prea u\u0219oar\u0103. Adev\u0103rata pedeaps\u0103 e s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti \u0219tiind c\u0103 nu ai fost niciodat\u0103 ales cu adev\u0103rat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acum, privind copiii dormind, Elena a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu fusese o femeie slab\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fusese o femeie care a \u0219tiut c\u00e2nd s\u0103 tac\u0103<\/strong>\u2026 \u0219i c\u00e2nd s\u0103 plece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Iar lini\u0219tea din cas\u0103 nu mai era dureroas\u0103.<\/p>\n Era pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elena a ridicat privirea exact \u00een momentul \u00een care t\u00e2n\u0103ra a intrat \u00een salon.
