U\u0219a ad\u0103postului a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it c\u00e2nd Victor a \u00eempins-o. Aerul din\u0103untru era cald, \u00eemb\u00e2csit cu miros de sup\u0103, detergent ieftin \u0219i oboseal\u0103 veche. Nimic nu sem\u0103na cu birourile lui curate, cu marmur\u0103 \u0219i sticl\u0103. Aici totul era real.<\/p>\n
Doamna Popescu l-a privit c\u00e2teva secunde f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic. Apoi i-a recunoscut fa\u021ba. Nu din reviste. Din expresia unui om care pierduse ceva.<\/p>\n
\u201eA\u021bi venit pentru Ilinca\u201d, a spus simplu.<\/p>\n
Victor n-a mai fost \u00een stare s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103. A dat din cap.<\/p>\n
Ilinca st\u0103tea la o mas\u0103 mic\u0103, cu o can\u0103 de ceai \u00een m\u00e2ini. C\u00e2nd a ridicat privirea, n-a fost nicio recunoa\u0219tere. Doar polite\u021be. \u0218i o oboseal\u0103 care nu apar\u021binea unei fete de dou\u0103zeci de ani.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103\u201d, a spus ea.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Victor s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een fa\u021ba ei. A observat m\u00e2inile cr\u0103pate, unghiile t\u0103iate scurt, haina prea sub\u021bire pentru iarn\u0103. A sim\u021bit cum i se rupe ceva \u00een piept, definitiv.<\/p>\n
\u201eSunt bunicul t\u0103u\u201d, a reu\u0219it s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ilinca a clipit. O dat\u0103. De dou\u0103 ori. Apoi a l\u0103sat cana jos, cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eA\u0219a mi s-a mai spus\u201d, a zis ea. \u201eDar n-a venit nimeni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rul a c\u0103zut greu, dar drept.<\/p>\n
\u00cen orele care au urmat, Victor a aflat tot. Cum Maria Cojocaru fusese desemnat\u0103 tutore. Cum scosese bani \u201epentru cheltuieli\u201d. Cum fondul fusese golit treptat, acoperit cu h\u00e2rtii, semn\u0103turi, h\u00e2rtii cu datorii \u0219i explica\u021bii mincinoase. Cum Ilinca muncise de la \u0219aisprezece ani. Cum dormise fl\u0103m\u00e2nd\u0103. Cum nu ceruse niciodat\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
C\u0103lin a plecat s\u0103 fac\u0103 ce \u0219tia mai bine.<\/p>\n
Victor a r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Maria Cojocaru a fost chemat\u0103 la audieri. Conturile i-au fost blocate. Casa din Prim\u0103verii, pus\u0103 sub sechestru. Adev\u0103rul a ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103, ur\u00e2t \u0219i clar.<\/p>\n
Victor i-a oferit Ilinc\u0103i tot ce pierduse. Ea a refuzat pe loc.<\/p>\n
\u201eVreau doar ce-mi apar\u021bine\u201d, a spus. \u201e\u0218i o \u0219ans\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Au \u00eenceput \u00eencet. Un apartament mic, luminos. Terapie. O facultate aleas\u0103 de ea. Nu comunicate de pres\u0103. Nu poze.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, au g\u0103tit \u00eempreun\u0103 sarmale. Au r\u00e2s c\u00e2nd le-au ars. Au m\u00e2ncat din aceea\u0219i oal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Victor a \u00een\u021beles atunci ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat responsabilitatea.<\/p>\n
Nu banii.<\/p>\n
Ci prezen\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Ilinca n-a mai dormit niciodat\u0103 pe un pat metalic.<\/p>\n
Iar Victor Lungu n-a mai l\u0103sat niciodat\u0103 via\u021ba s\u0103 treac\u0103 pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
