Ana st\u0103tea pe marginea canapelei, cu paltonul pe ea, cheile \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i inima bubuind. Ceasul ar\u0103ta 5:20. \u00cen mod normal, la ora asta ie\u0219ea deja pe u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eE o prostie\u201d, \u0219i-a spus. \u201eUn b\u0103tr\u00e2n speriat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar m\u00e2na \u00eei tremura. Str\u00e2ngea \u00eencheietura exact acolo unde o apucase Mircea. Nu duruse, dar fusese o str\u00e2ngere care nu l\u0103sa loc de glum\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat spre mama ei. Dormea lini\u0219tit\u0103, cu respira\u021bia grea. Ana a oftat \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani, s-a \u00eentins la loc pe canapea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd ceasul a ar\u0103tat 7:15, telefonul a \u00eenceput s\u0103 sune. Era patronul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana, unde e\u0219ti?! Cafeneaua e plin\u0103 de poli\u021bie!<\/p>\n
Inima i-a s\u0103rit \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Poli\u021bie? De ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Au g\u0103sit ceva \u00een magazie! Vin-o imediat!<\/p>\n
Ana a ie\u0219it \u00een fug\u0103 din cas\u0103. Pe drum, genunchii \u00eei tremurau. \u00cen fa\u021ba cafenelei erau dou\u0103 ma\u0219ini de poli\u021bie, band\u0103 galben\u0103 \u0219i oameni care \u0219u\u0219oteau.<\/p>\n
A v\u0103zut sacii alba\u0219tri sco\u0219i afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce e \u00een ei? a \u00eentrebat pe cineva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Droguri, fat\u0103\u2026 droguri de milioane.<\/p>\n
Ana a sim\u021bit c\u0103 i se taie picioarele. Magazinia. Cheile. Programul.<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 ar fi venit la 5:30, exact ca \u00een fiecare zi, ar fi fost prima care deschidea. Prima care cobora \u00een magazie. Prima suspect\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domni\u0219oar\u0103, sunte\u021bi Ana Popescu? a \u00eentrebat un poli\u021bist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 v\u0103 punem c\u00e2teva \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Ore \u00eentregi a stat pe un scaun, povestind fiecare zi, fiecare drum, fiecare mi\u0219care. Le-a spus \u0219i de Mircea. Poli\u021bi\u0219tii s-au privit \u00eentre ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tim cine e, a spus unul. Fost ofi\u021ber de informa\u021bii. A disp\u0103rut acum ani buni dup\u0103 ce a refuzat s\u0103 \u00eenchid\u0103 ochii la o re\u021bea mare.<\/p>\n
Ana a ie\u0219it afar\u0103 ame\u021bit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mircea st\u0103tea peste drum, sprijinit \u00eentr-un baston. C\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut-o, a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus c\u0103 e serios.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce eu? a \u00eentrebat ea, cu lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 ai fost singura care m-a v\u0103zut ca pe un om.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, patronul a fost arestat. Cafeneaua s-a \u00eenchis. Ana s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103 cu un gol \u00een stomac, dar \u0219i cu o u\u0219urare ciudat\u0103.<\/p>\n
O lun\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, a primit o scrisoare oficial\u0103. O desp\u0103gubire pentru colaborare. Suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103-i asigure mamei tratamentul ani buni.<\/p>\n
Cu o parte din bani, Ana a \u00eenchiriat un spa\u021biu mic, l\u00e2ng\u0103 parc. O cafenea simpl\u0103. A numit-o \u201eCol\u021bul Bun\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prima zi, a deschis la 8:00.<\/p>\n
Mircea a venit, sp\u0103lat, \u00eembr\u0103cat curat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cafea din partea casei, i-a spus Ana.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, a z\u00e2mbit el. Azi pl\u0103tesc eu. Din pensie. E mic\u0103, dar e cinstit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a uitat \u00een jur. Oameni simpli. Zgomot de ce\u0219ti. Via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103, uneori, o clip\u0103 de \u00eent\u00e2rziere poate s\u0103-\u021bi salveze nu doar via\u021ba, ci \u0219i viitorul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
