G\u00e2ndul acesta a lovit-o ca un pumn \u00een stomac.<\/p>\n
Nu era o aventur\u0103. Nu era o r\u0103t\u0103cire de moment. Era ceva serios. Sim\u021bea asta \u00een fiecare fibr\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns acas\u0103, era deja \u00eentuneric. Apartamentul o a\u0219tepta t\u0103cut, cu lumina slab\u0103 din buc\u0103t\u0103rie, pe care o l\u0103sase aprins\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103. \u0218i-a l\u0103sat geanta jos, s-a descal\u021bat mecanic \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un sunet.<\/p>\n
Treizeci de ani de via\u021b\u0103 \u00eei treceau prin fa\u021ba ochilor ca un film vechi.<\/p>\n
Primul lor apartament. Copiii mici. Nop\u021bile nedormite. Toate compromisurile. Toate t\u0103cerile ei. Toate \u201elas\u0103 c\u0103 nu conteaz\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Telefonul a vibrat. Mesaj de la Andrei: \u201eUnde e\u0219ti?\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena a z\u00e2mbit amar. At\u00e2t. At\u00e2t putea el spune.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis telefonul.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, nu s-a gr\u0103bit s\u0103-i r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n
A mers \u00een dormitor, a deschis dulapul \u0219i a scos o rochie veche, lung\u0103, pe care o purtase rar. Lui Andrei nu-i pl\u0103cuse niciodat\u0103. \u201ePrea sobr\u0103\u201d, spusese. A m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat materialul \u0219i a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea n-a dormit. Dar nici n-a mai pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, a f\u0103cut ceva ce nu mai f\u0103cuse de ani de zile. A ie\u0219it singur\u0103 la plimbare. Prin parc. Cu p\u0103rul desf\u0103cut. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 dac\u0103 \u201ese potrive\u0219te\u201d sau nu.<\/p>\n
S-a oprit la o cafenea mic\u0103 \u0219i \u0219i-a comandat o cafea \u0219i o pr\u0103jitur\u0103. A pl\u0103tit din banii ei, din pensia pe care o str\u00e2nsese \u00een t\u0103cere, leu cu leu.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a sim\u021bit ceva nou.<\/p>\n
U\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Andrei a venit acas\u0103, seara, Elena \u00eel a\u0219tepta. Calm\u0103. Dreapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu tot, a spus ea simplu. Te-am v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, s\u0103 explice, s\u0103 se justifice. Cuvinte multe. F\u0103r\u0103 sens.<\/p>\n
Elena l-a ascultat p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t. Apoi a spus:
\n\u2014 Toat\u0103 via\u021ba am tr\u0103it pentru tine. Acum e r\u00e2ndul meu s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc pentru mine.<\/p>\n
A fost lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, a pus ordine \u00een lucruri. A vorbit cu copiii. A vorbit cu un avocat. A \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 spun\u0103 \u201enu\u201d. F\u0103r\u0103 vin\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
A v\u00e2ndut casa de la \u021bar\u0103. Partea ei de bani a pus-o deoparte. Cu ei \u0219i-a permis prima vacan\u021b\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103 la mare. La Constan\u021ba. A mers singur\u0103. A stat pe falez\u0103 seara, cu v\u00e2ntul \u00een p\u0103r, privind luminile.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a cump\u0103rat o rochie nou\u0103. A mers la teatru. A r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 via\u021ba devenise u\u0219oar\u0103. Ci pentru c\u0103 devenise a ei.<\/p>\n
La cincizeci de ani, Elena nu a pierdut un so\u021b.<\/p>\n
S-a c\u00e2\u0219tigat pe sine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103, instinctul i-a \u0219optit lini\u0219tit:
