Mariana n-a p\u0103rut surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
A l\u0103sat c\u00e2rpa jos, calm, de parc\u0103 tot mallul n-ar fi existat. Alinei i-a \u00eenghe\u021bat z\u00e2mbetul pe buze, iar Alexandru sim\u021bea cum i se usuc\u0103 gura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, Irina, a spus Mariana simplu.<\/p>\n
Femeia a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate, iar bodyguarzii s-au a\u0219ezat discret de o parte \u0219i de alta. \u00cen jur, oamenii \u00ee\u0219i \u021bineau telefoanele ridicate, sim\u021bind c\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva mare.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a r\u00e2s for\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce glum\u0103 proast\u0103 e asta? a morm\u0103it el. E clar o confuzie.<\/p>\n
Mariana s-a \u00eentors spre el pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e nicio confuzie, Alexandru.<\/p>\n
Vocea ei era lini\u0219tit\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 ur\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 repro\u0219. Doar adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Rochia e a mea. Am comandat-o acum \u0219ase luni.<\/p>\n
Alina a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103\u2026 a ta? Tu\u2026 tu speli pe jos!<\/p>\n
Mariana a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. \u0218i asta.<\/p>\n
Apoi a scos din buzunar un card negru mat \u0219i l-a \u00eentins c\u0103tre consultant\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Finaliz\u0103m plata, te rog.<\/p>\n
Femeia a luat cardul cu ambele m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sigur, doamn\u0103 Popescu.<\/p>\n
Numele a c\u0103zut ca un tr\u0103snet.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a sim\u021bit cum \u00eei fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Popescu? a b\u00e2iguit el. Tu\u2026 n-ai avut nimic!<\/p>\n
Mariana a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd ai plecat, mi-ai l\u0103sat o cas\u0103 mic\u0103 \u0219i mult\u0103 lini\u0219te. \u00cen lini\u0219tea aia m-am reg\u0103sit. Am cusut, am desenat, am lucrat nop\u021bi \u00eentregi. Am \u00eenceput de jos. Am f\u0103cut haine pentru femei ca mine. F\u0103r\u0103 figuri. F\u0103r\u0103 zgomot.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat \u00een jur.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Firma mea are acum trei ateliere \u00een \u021bar\u0103. Eu vin aici o dat\u0103 pe s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 cur\u0103\u021b. M\u0103 ajut\u0103 s\u0103 nu uit de unde am plecat.<\/p>\n
Alexandru tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu? Eu ce-am fost?<\/p>\n
Mariana l-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O lec\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Consultanta a revenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Plata este confirmat\u0103. Dori\u021bi s\u0103 o proba\u021bi acum?<\/p>\n
Mariana a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, a ie\u0219it din cabin\u0103 purt\u00e2nd rochia. Phoenix de Foc p\u0103rea f\u0103cut pentru ea. Nu striga. Nu epata. Str\u0103lucea.<\/p>\n
Lumea a aplaudat.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a r\u0103mas mut.<\/p>\n
Mariana s-a apropiat de el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce e diferen\u021ba dintre noi? Eu am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 construiesc. Tu doar s\u0103 pleci.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite \u00eenapoi, a plecat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urma ei, Alexandru a r\u0103mas mic.
