Leon s-a aplecat u\u0219or spre mine \u0219i, cu o naturale\u021be care m-a surprins, mi-a \u0219optit:
\n\u2014 Ai \u00eencredere \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
\u00cenainte s\u0103 apuc s\u0103 r\u0103spund, s-a ridicat \u0219i m-a prins de m\u00e2n\u0103, de parc\u0103 f\u0103ceam asta de ani \u00eentregi. Degetele lui erau calde \u0219i ferme. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te, dar ceva din atitudinea lui m\u0103 f\u0103cea s\u0103 m\u0103 simt \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am p\u0103\u0219it \u00eempreun\u0103 spre centrul s\u0103lii. Muzica se domolise, iar privirile tuturor erau a\u021bintite asupra noastr\u0103. Sim\u021beam cum m\u0103 ard obrajii, dar Leon z\u00e2mbea calm, ca un om care \u0219tie exact ce face.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2rziem, a spus el tare. Traficul pe DN a fost un co\u0219mar.<\/p>\n
Un murmur a str\u0103b\u0103tut sala. Sora mea a l\u0103sat paharul jos, iar m\u00e2na \u00eei tremura vizibil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu ne-ai spus c\u0103 sora ta vine cu cineva, a zis ea, for\u021b\u00e2nd un z\u00e2mbet.<\/p>\n
Leon a str\u00e2ns u\u0219or m\u00e2na mea.
\n\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 e ceva serios, a r\u0103spuns simplu. Nu sim\u021beam nevoia s\u0103 anun\u021b pe toat\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n
A fost lini\u0219te. Apoi cineva a tu\u0219it st\u00e2njenit. M\u0103tu\u0219a de la masa mea a r\u0103mas cu gura \u00eentredeschis\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu ce te ocupi? a \u00eentrebat cineva din familie, curios.<\/p>\n
Leon a r\u0103spuns f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare:
\n\u2014 Am o firm\u0103 de construc\u021bii. Lucr\u0103m mult \u00een Bucure\u0219ti \u0219i Cluj. Avem c\u00e2teva proiecte mari \u00een derulare.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum Mira se albe\u0219te la fa\u021b\u0103. So\u021bul ei tocmai \u00eencercase, cu c\u00e2teva luni \u00een urm\u0103, s\u0103 ob\u021bin\u0103 un contract cu o firm\u0103 exact ca a lui Leon \u0219i fusese refuzat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i voi de c\u00e2t timp sunte\u021bi \u00eempreun\u0103? a \u00eentrebat cineva.<\/p>\n
Leon m-a privit cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be care m-a dezarmat.
\n\u2014 De suficient timp \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 \u0219tim c\u0103 vrem acela\u0219i lucru.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiu ce m-a apucat, dar am z\u00e2mbit \u0219i am spus:
\n\u2014 Ne mut\u0103m \u00eempreun\u0103 din toamn\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sala a explodat \u00een felicit\u0103ri. Mira nu mai spunea nimic. Se uita c\u00e2nd la mine, c\u00e2nd la Leon, ca \u0219i cum \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama dac\u0103 totul e real.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, la mas\u0103, Leon mi-a povestit \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103 adev\u0103rul. \u0218tia foarte bine cine este sora mea \u0219i ce fel de persoan\u0103 e. O v\u0103zuse cum vorbea despre mine, cum m\u0103 ironiza, \u0219i nu i s-a p\u0103rut corect.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ur\u0103sc oamenii care cred c\u0103 valoarea cuiva se m\u0103soar\u0103 dup\u0103 verighet\u0103, mi-a spus.<\/p>\n
La finalul serii, Mira a venit la mine. F\u0103r\u0103 z\u00e2mbet, f\u0103r\u0103 ironii.
\n\u2014 N-am \u0219tiut, a murmurat ea. \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, p\u0103rea sincer\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it din restaurant al\u0103turi de Leon. Aerul nop\u021bii era rece, iar luminile parc\u0103rii se reflectau \u00een asfaltul ud.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuia s\u0103 faci asta, i-am spus.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit.
\n\u2014 Ba da. \u0218i adev\u0103rul e c\u0103 mi-ar pl\u0103cea s\u0103 nu ne prefacem.<\/p>\n
M-am oprit \u0219i l-am privit. Nu mai era niciun joc, nicio r\u0103zbunare. Doar doi oameni maturi, obosi\u021bi de judec\u0103\u021bi inutile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 bem o cafea m\u00e2ine, am spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cu pl\u0103cere, a r\u0103spuns el.<\/p>\n
Uneori, via\u021ba te a\u0219az\u0103 la masa gre\u0219it\u0103 doar ca s\u0103-\u021bi aduc\u0103, exact c\u00e2nd nu mai speri, omul potrivit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
