Sofia a dat din cap, dar genunchii \u00eei tremurau. A sim\u021bit cum bra\u021bul lui Darius se desprinde \u00eencet, cu grij\u0103, ca \u0219i cum n-ar fi vrut s\u0103 o lase brusc singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, a spus ea, cu voce mic\u0103. Nu trebuia s\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da, a r\u0103spuns el simplu. Trebuia.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au surprins-o. L-a privit pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat. Avea riduri fine la col\u021bul ochilor, semn c\u0103 z\u00e2mbea des, \u0219i m\u00e2ini muncite, nu de birou. Un om obi\u0219nuit. Un om bun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei, pot s\u0103 mai stau pu\u021bin, a ad\u0103ugat. P\u00e2n\u0103 te lini\u0219te\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Pia\u021ba \u00ee\u0219i reluase ritmul. O femeie a cerut o cutie de trufe. Un copil tr\u0103gea de m\u00e2neca mamei. Via\u021ba mergea mai departe, ca \u0219i cum nimic nu s-ar fi \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Po\u021bi\u2026 a spus Sofia. Doar pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Darius s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 tarab\u0103. A ajutat-o s\u0103 \u00eencaseze, s\u0103 \u00eempacheteze, s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 din nou. Nu punea \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Era acolo.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce s-a mai golit pia\u021ba, Sofia a respirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A fost greu, a recunoscut. M-a urm\u0103rit luni \u00eentregi. Credea c\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 el nu sunt nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i? a \u00eentrebat Darius.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 mai \u00eenv\u0103\u021b c\u0103 nu e adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Darius a z\u00e2mbit. Un z\u00e2mbet cald.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei, te invit la o cafea dup\u0103 ce \u00eenchizi. F\u0103r\u0103 roluri. F\u0103r\u0103 teatru.<\/p>\n
Sofia a ezitat o clip\u0103. Apoi a spus da.<\/p>\n
Au stat la o cafenea mic\u0103, la col\u021b de pia\u021b\u0103. Au vorbit despre bunici, despre alegeri grele, despre cum e s\u0103-\u021bi c\u00e2\u0219tigi banii cinsti\u021bi, leu cu leu. Darius lucra \u00een construc\u021bii, \u00ee\u0219i ridicase singur casa. \u0218tia ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 porne\u0219ti de jos.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-au desp\u0103r\u021bit, nu au promis nimic.<\/p>\n
Dar a doua zi, Darius a revenit. \u0218i a treia. \u0218i a patra.<\/p>\n
Nu cu vorbe mari, ci cu fapte. Cu respect. Cu r\u0103bdare.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, C\u0103lin a mai ap\u0103rut o dat\u0103. A privit de la distan\u021b\u0103. A v\u0103zut-o pe Sofia r\u00e2z\u00e2nd, sigur\u0103, cu spatele drept.<\/p>\n
N-a mai spus nimic. A plecat.<\/p>\n
Sofia l-a urm\u0103rit cu privirea \u0219i a \u0219tiut: nu mai avea putere asupra ei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen pia\u021b\u0103, inima b\u0103tea din nou normal. Iar Sofia, cu m\u00e2inile p\u0103tate de ciocolat\u0103 \u0219i cu sufletul \u00eentreg, \u00een\u021belesese ceva simplu \u0219i puternic: uneori, un str\u0103in te ajut\u0103 s\u0103-\u021bi aminte\u0219ti cine e\u0219ti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
