Recep\u021bionera a ap\u0103sat repede c\u00e2teva taste, apoi a ridicat receptorul telefonului. Vocea \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua\u2026 da\u2026 avem un card\u2026 da, exact\u2026 metalic.<\/p>\n
M-am sim\u021bit mic\u0103, vinovat\u0103, de parc\u0103 f\u0103cusem ceva ilegal. Oaspe\u021bii din hol se uitau deja spre mine. Am vrut s\u0103 scot cardul \u0219i s\u0103 fug.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Popescu? a spus recep\u021bionera, dup\u0103 ce a \u00eenchis. V\u0103 rog s\u0103 lua\u021bi loc. Cineva vine imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am f\u0103cut ceva gre\u0219it? am \u00eentrebat, cu inima bubuind.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, nu\u2026 doar\u2026 protocol.<\/p>\n
Protocol. Un cuv\u00e2nt care m-a speriat mai tare dec\u00e2t orice.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de zece minute, o ma\u0219in\u0103 neagr\u0103 a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba pensiunii. Din ea au cobor\u00e2t doi b\u0103rba\u021bi \u00eembr\u0103ca\u021bi simplu, dar cu o siguran\u021b\u0103 care nu se \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 din c\u0103r\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Emilia Popescu? a \u00eentrebat unul.<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103 rug\u0103m s\u0103 ne \u00eenso\u021bi\u021bi. Este \u00een interesul dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am vrut s\u0103 refuz. Dar n-aveam unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc.<\/p>\n
M-au dus la o banc\u0103 din centru, una despre care treceam zilnic f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o observ. \u00cen interior, totul era t\u0103cut. Prea t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
Un director cu p\u0103rul alb m-a privit lung, apoi s-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fiica lui Gheorghe Popescu, a spus \u00eencet. Ne \u00eentrebam c\u00e2nd o s\u0103 apar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mi-au tremurat genunchii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cel\u2026 \u00eel cuno\u0219tea\u021bi pe tata?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai mult dec\u00e2t crede\u021bi. Tat\u0103l dumneavoastr\u0103 a fost unul dintre oamenii care au pus bazele unui fond special. Un fond pentru vremuri grele. Pentru cei care pierd totul.<\/p>\n
A \u00eempins spre mine o map\u0103 groas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cardul acela nu are limit\u0103 obi\u0219nuit\u0103. Este legat de un cont de siguran\u021b\u0103. \u00cen lei. Mult mai mul\u021bi dec\u00e2t v\u0103 imagina\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng. F\u0103r\u0103 zgomot. F\u0103r\u0103 ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru bani. Ci pentru c\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, cineva se g\u00e2ndise la mine cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, mi-am \u00eenchiriat un apartament mic, luminos. Mi-am cump\u0103rat haine simple. Mi-am pl\u0103tit cursuri. Am g\u0103sit un loc de munc\u0103. Nu luxos. Cinstit.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Radu m-a sunat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Putem vorbi? a \u00eentrebat, cu vocea nesigur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Putem, am spus calm. Dar nu ca s\u0103 ne \u00eentoarcem \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
L-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit la o cafenea. Ar\u0103ta obosit. Mai mic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am gre\u0219it, a spus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, am r\u0103spuns. \u0218i eu am gre\u0219it. Am uitat cine sunt.<\/p>\n
Am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 regrete.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, c\u00e2nd \u00eenchid u\u0219a apartamentului meu, nu mai aud un clic rece. Aud lini\u0219te. \u0218i pace.<\/p>\n
Iar cardul tat\u0103lui meu st\u0103 \u00eentr-un sertar. Nu ca o salvare.<\/p>\n
Ci ca o amintire c\u0103 uneori, chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd pierzi totul, cineva s-a g\u00e2ndit din timp s\u0103 nu cazi de tot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
