Mihai a apucat bile\u021belul cu dou\u0103 degete, ca \u0219i cum l-ar fi ars. A citit o dat\u0103. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103. Buzele i s-au str\u00e2ns \u00eentr-o linie sub\u021bire, iar respira\u021bia i s-a t\u0103iat.<\/p>\n
Pe h\u00e2rtia ro\u0219ie scria simplu, cu pix albastru:<\/p>\n
\u201eAm depus actele de divor\u021b. Am vorbit cu avocatul. Contul comun a fost \u00eenchis. Partea ta din economii \u2014 42.000 de lei \u2014 este deja transferat\u0103. Restul lucrurilor tale sunt \u00een cutiile din hol. Te rog s\u0103 nu mai revii.\u201d<\/p>\n
A ridicat ochii spre mine, complet derutat.
\n\u201eCe\u2026 ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta?\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit, pentru prima dat\u0103, lini\u0219te. Nu triumf. Nu r\u0103zbunare. Lini\u0219te.
\n\u201e\u00censeamn\u0103 c\u0103 via\u021ba mea nu mai e pe pauz\u0103, Mihai.\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103, dar i-a ie\u0219it fals.
\n\u201eHai, Ana\u2026 exagerezi. Putem vorbi. Am fost nervos atunci. \u0218tii cum sunt\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu exact cum e\u0219ti\u201d, i-am r\u0103spuns calm. \u201e\u0218i tocmai de asta am f\u0103cut asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a uitat \u00een jur. Apartamentul nu mai ar\u0103ta ca \u00eenainte. Perdelele grele disp\u0103ruser\u0103, biblioteca fusese rearanjat\u0103, fotografiile cu noi doi nu mai erau pe pere\u021bi. Totul p\u0103rea aerisit. Liber.<\/p>\n
\u201eTe-ai schimbat\u201d, a spus el, pe un ton \u00een care se amestecau uimirea \u0219i nelini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu. M-am reg\u0103sit.\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eencercat s\u0103 se apropie, dar am f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate. Nu de fric\u0103. Ci pentru c\u0103 nu mai era loc pentru el acolo.<\/p>\n
\u201eCu Claudia nu e cum credeam\u201d, a murmurat. \u201eE\u2026 complicat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit slab.
\n\u201eNu e treaba mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, l-am v\u0103zut mic. Nu b\u0103rbatul sigur pe el care plecase cu geanta de sal\u0103 pe um\u0103r. Ci un om care pierduse ceva ce crezuse garantat.<\/p>\n
A luat cutiile din hol f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic. La u\u0219\u0103 s-a oprit.
\n\u201eO s\u0103 regre\u021bi?\u201d, m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
M-am g\u00e2ndit o clip\u0103. La nop\u021bile \u00een care pl\u00e2ngeam. La pa\u0219ii f\u0103cu\u021bi \u00een t\u0103cere prin parc. La caietul plin de g\u00e2nduri. La femeia din oglind\u0103.
\n\u201eNu\u201d, am spus. \u201eRegret doar c\u0103 n-am f\u0103cut asta mai devreme.\u201d<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00eencet \u00een urma lui.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas \u00een mijlocul casei mele. A mea, cu adev\u0103rat. Am tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept \u0219i am sim\u021bit ceva ce nu mai sim\u021bisem de mult: speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea am ie\u0219it din nou la plimbare. Nu ca s\u0103 ard calorii. Ci ca s\u0103-mi simt pa\u0219ii. O femeie obi\u0219nuit\u0103, \u00eentr-un cartier obi\u0219nuit din Rom\u00e2nia, care \u00eenv\u0103\u021base, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 valoarea ei nu st\u0103 \u00eentr-un c\u00e2ntar \u0219i nici \u00eentr-un b\u0103rbat care pleac\u0103 la primul \u201edefect\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103, drumul din fa\u021ba mea nu mai p\u0103rea gol. P\u0103rea deschis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
