U\u0219a s-a izbit de perete, iar vocea so\u021bului ei a r\u0103sunat pe casa sc\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus s\u0103 ie\u0219i! Acum!<\/p>\n
Elena \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103 ca s\u0103 nu scoat\u0103 niciun sunet. Din umbr\u0103, a v\u0103zut-o clar.<\/p>\n
Era sora ei, Mariana. Cu paltonul deschis, p\u0103rul ciufulit \u0219i ochii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns. St\u0103tea \u00een pragul apartamentului Elenei, cu o saco\u0219\u0103 la picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc, Mihai? \u2014 pl\u00e2ngea Mariana. \u2014 N-am pe nimeni\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103! \u2014 a urlat el. \u2014 N-o mai suport pe tine \u0219i problemele tale!<\/p>\n
A urmat un zgomot surd. Mihai a \u00eempins-o, iar Mariana s-a dezechilibrat \u0219i a c\u0103zut pe trepte.<\/p>\n
Inima Elenei b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t credea c\u0103 o vor auzi. Nu putea s\u0103 se mi\u0219te. Nu putea s\u0103 respire.<\/p>\n
Mihai a \u00eenchis u\u0219a cu putere \u0219i a tras z\u0103vorul.<\/p>\n
Mariana a r\u0103mas jos, pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd \u00een hohote. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, s-a ridicat greu, \u0219i-a luat saco\u0219a \u0219i a ie\u0219it \u00een ploaie, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Atunci Elena a sim\u021bit cum i se rupe ceva \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n
Promovarea. Bucuria. Visurile. Toate s-au f\u0103cut praf \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a scos telefonul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde \u0219i a sunat-o pe sora ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde e\u0219ti? \u2014 a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe drum\u2026 \u2014 a r\u0103spuns Mariana. \u2014 N-am vrut s\u0103 te deranjez.<\/p>\n
Elena a ie\u0219it din ascunz\u0103toare \u0219i a alergat dup\u0103 ea. A prins-o la col\u021bul str\u0103zii, sub un felinar care p\u00e2lp\u00e2ia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vii cu mine \u2014 i-a spus ferm. \u2014 Nu pleci nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar Mihai\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mihai nu mai decide nimic.<\/p>\n
Au mers \u00eempreun\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la un mic fast-food deschis non-stop. Elena i-a luat un ceai cald \u0219i o pl\u0103cint\u0103. Abia atunci Mariana a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mihai \u00eei ceruse bani. Insistase. O pusese s\u0103 semneze o h\u00e2rtie cu datorie. Zicea c\u0103 e temporar. C\u0103 \u00eei va da \u00eenapoi. Dar apoi \u00eencepuser\u0103 certurile. Umilin\u021bele.<\/p>\n
Elena asculta \u0219i fiecare cuv\u00e2nt era o lovitur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci a luat o decizie.<\/p>\n
Nu s-a mai \u00eentors acas\u0103 \u00een seara aceea. A mers la o pensiune mic\u0103 de cartier, a pl\u0103tit pe o noapte \u0219i \u0219i-a l\u0103sat telefonul pe silen\u021bios.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, Mihai avea zece apeluri pierdute.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors, el o a\u0219tepta nervos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde ai fost?!<\/p>\n
Elena l-a privit calm. Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu i-a fost fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am v\u0103zut tot \u2014 i-a spus. \u2014 \u0218tiu ce ai f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
A scos din geant\u0103 decizia de promovare \u0219i i-a pus-o pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i mai \u0219tiu ceva. De azi \u00eenainte, banii mei nu mai sunt ai t\u0103i. Conturile sunt separate. Iar sora mea nu mai pleac\u0103 nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n
Mihai a \u00eencercat s\u0103 \u021bipe. S\u0103 amenin\u021be. Dar Elena era deja hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen c\u00e2teva luni, divor\u021bul a fost finalizat. F\u0103r\u0103 scandal. F\u0103r\u0103 regrete.<\/p>\n
Elena a devenit contabil-\u0219ef. A \u00eenchiriat un apartament mai mare \u0219i a adus-o pe Mariana la ea. Au reparat, au r\u00e2s, au \u00eenceput de la zero.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Elena a trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 blocul vechi. La col\u021b, aceea\u0219i feti\u021b\u0103 st\u0103tea sprijinit\u0103 de zid.<\/p>\n
Elena i-a pus o bancnot\u0103 de cincizeci de lei \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc \u2014 i-a spus.<\/p>\n
Copila a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Uneori, adev\u0103rul vine din locuri la care nu te a\u0219tep\u021bi. Iar curajul\u2026 apare exact c\u00e2nd crezi c\u0103 nu-l mai ai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
