Negocierile aveau loc \u00eentr-o sal\u0103 mare, rece, la etajul superior al unei cl\u0103diri de birouri din nordul Bucure\u0219tiului. Geamurile d\u0103deau spre bulevard, unde ma\u0219inile curgeau una dup\u0103 alta, f\u0103r\u0103 oprire. Andrei st\u0103tea drept, cu spatele \u00eencordat, iar Sonia era l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, pe un scaun pu\u021bin prea mare pentru trupul ei mic.<\/p>\n
De cealalt\u0103 parte a mesei, trei b\u0103rba\u021bi \u00een costume scumpe r\u0103sfoiau h\u00e2rtii, vorbeau repede \u0219i calculat. Era vorba de v\u00e2nzarea unei fabrici vechi, mo\u0219tenire de familie. Un pre\u021b mare. Prea mare ca s\u0103 fie f\u0103r\u0103 riscuri.<\/p>\n
Sonia t\u0103cea. Se uita c\u00e2nd la Andrei, c\u00e2nd la oamenii din fa\u021ba ei. P\u0103rea un copil obi\u0219nuit, pierdut printre adul\u021bi.<\/p>\n
La un moment dat, unul dintre cump\u0103r\u0103tori a z\u00e2mbit for\u021bat.
\u2014 Domni\u0219oara e nepoata dumneavoastr\u0103? a \u00eentrebat, ar\u0103t\u00e2nd spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, a r\u0103spuns Andrei scurt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dr\u0103gu\u021b. Sper c\u0103 nu se plictise\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Sonia a ridicat privirea.
\u2014 Nu, nu m\u0103 plictisesc, a spus calm. Doar ascult.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rba\u021bii au r\u00e2s u\u0219or. Un copil ce putea \u00een\u021belege?<\/p>\n
Negocierile au continuat. S-au aruncat cifre, termene, penaliz\u0103ri. Andrei sim\u021bea c\u0103 ceva nu e \u00een regul\u0103, dar nu reu\u0219ea s\u0103 pun\u0103 degetul pe ran\u0103. Era obosit, presat, \u0219i oferta p\u0103rea ultima lui \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci Sonia s-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bunicule, pot s\u0103 \u00eentreb ceva?<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eencremenit.
\u2014 Sonia, stai jos\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doar o \u00eentrebare, a insistat ea.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre cump\u0103r\u0103tori a f\u0103cut un gest de lehamite.
\u2014 L\u0103sa\u021bi copilul, s\u0103 \u00eentrebe.<\/p>\n
Sonia s-a uitat direct la el.
\u2014 Dac\u0103 fabrica asta e a\u0219a de profitabil\u0103, de ce a\u021bi mutat deja utilajele bune \u00een alt jude\u021b?<\/p>\n
\u00cen sal\u0103 s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce prostii spui? a izbucnit b\u0103rbatul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am dormit \u00een gar\u0103, a continuat Sonia, cu o voce simpl\u0103. \u0218i acolo vin mul\u021bi oameni. \u0218oferi, paznici, muncitori. Vorbesc mult. Am auzit numele firmei dumneavoastr\u0103 de mai multe ori.<\/p>\n
Andrei sim\u021bea cum \u00eei bate inima \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i am mai auzit ceva, a continuat ea. C\u0103 fabrica asta are datorii mari la stat. Mai mari dec\u00e2t scrie \u00een h\u00e2rtiile dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bi s-a ridicat brusc.
\u2014 Asta e o mascarad\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, a spus Sonia \u00eencet. E adev\u0103rul. Ca atunci c\u00e2nd oamenii cred c\u0103 nu-i vede nimeni.<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a ridicat \u0219i el.
\u2014 Negocierile se opresc aici.<\/p>\n
Cump\u0103r\u0103torii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 protesteze, dar era prea t\u00e2rziu. Avocatul lui Andrei, prezent la \u00eent\u00e2lnire, verificase deja actele. Sonia avusese dreptate. Era o capcan\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce au plecat, Andrei s-a a\u0219ezat greu pe scaun.
\u2014 De unde ai \u0219tiut? a \u00eentrebat-o.<\/p>\n
Sonia a ridicat din umeri.
\u2014 C\u00e2nd tr\u0103ie\u0219ti pe strad\u0103, \u00eenve\u021bi s\u0103 ascul\u021bi. Altfel nu supravie\u021buie\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103, au m\u00e2ncat \u00eempreun\u0103 la o cantin\u0103 mic\u0103 de cartier. Sup\u0103 cald\u0103, p\u00e2ine proasp\u0103t\u0103. Nimic sofisticat, dar era lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te mai \u00eentorci \u00een gar\u0103, a spus Andrei dup\u0103 o pauz\u0103. Am nevoie de tine. Nu la negocieri. \u00cen via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
Ochii Soniei s-au umplut de lacrimi.
\u2014 Pe bune?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pe bune. Vom rezolva actele. \u0218coal\u0103. O camer\u0103 a ta. Tot.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, Sonia a z\u00e2mbit f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103.<\/p>\n
Uneori, cei mai mici oameni fac cele mai mari lucruri. Iar uneori, o inim\u0103 mare se ascunde \u00eentr-o geac\u0103 veche, \u00eentr-o gar\u0103 rece, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd doar pe cineva care s\u0103 asculte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
