T\u0103cerea care a urmat a fost at\u00e2t de dens\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t se auzea trosnetul lemnelor din \u0219emineu.<\/p>\n
Paharul de \u0219ampanie al Sarei i-a tremurat \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. A deschis gura, dar n-a ie\u0219it niciun sunet. Mama ei a dus o m\u00e2n\u0103 la piept, iar tat\u0103l a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate, ca \u0219i cum podeaua i-ar fi fugit de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103\u2026 pre\u0219edinte? a b\u00e2iguit Sara, cu vocea sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
Elena a l\u0103sat paharul de ap\u0103 pe o m\u0103su\u021b\u0103. A p\u0103\u0219it \u00een lumin\u0103, calm\u0103, dreapt\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 nicio urm\u0103 de triumf pe chip.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adrian, a spus ea simplu. Ai adus documentele?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Desigur, a r\u0103spuns el imediat, f\u0103c\u00e2nd semn unuia dintre asisten\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Servieta a fost deschis\u0103, iar h\u00e2rtiile au fost a\u0219ezate pe masa mare din sufragerie, sub privirile uluite ale tuturor. Elena \u0219i-a scos stiloul \u0219i a semnat f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103. O semn\u0103tur\u0103 clar\u0103, sigur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fuziunea e oficial\u0103, a spus Adrian, ridic\u00e2ndu-se. Felicit\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Atunci Beatrice a izbucnit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Elena\u2026 ce e asta? Ce glum\u0103 proast\u0103 e asta?<\/p>\n
Elena s-a \u00eentors spre mama ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e nicio glum\u0103. De cincisprezece ani conduc un grup de firme. Am \u00eenceput de jos. Am muncit. Am gre\u0219it. Am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 dar tu nu aveai bani! a strigat Sara.<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aveam. Doar c\u0103 nu v-am spus. Pentru c\u0103, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd am \u00eencercat s\u0103 fiu eu \u00eens\u0103mi, mi-a\u021bi spus c\u0103 nu sunt destul.<\/p>\n
Tat\u0103l ei a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i noi\u2026 noi te-am umilit\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, a spus Elena. \u0218i tocmai de aceea n-am venit aici s\u0103 m\u0103 r\u0103zbun. Am venit s\u0103 v\u0103d dac\u0103 mai suntem familie.<\/p>\n
Sara a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns. Machiajul i s-a \u00eentins pe obraji.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am sim\u021bit mereu \u00een umbra ta, a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te-am pus eu acolo, a r\u0103spuns Elena. Dar te pot scoate, dac\u0103 vrei.<\/p>\n
Elena s-a apropiat de mas\u0103 \u0219i a mai scos un document.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am cump\u0103rat ipoteca casei. De m\u00e2ine, vila asta e a mea. Dar nu v\u0103 dau afar\u0103. Vreau doar un lucru.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce? a \u00eentrebat mama, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Respect. \u0218i adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Elena \u0219i-a luat paltonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cr\u0103ciun fericit, a spus ea calm.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it \u00een noaptea viscolit\u0103, cu capul sus. Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai era \u201eratarea\u201d. Era femeia care nu mai avea nevoie de aprobarea nim\u0103nui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
