Olga a r\u0103mas \u00een fa\u021ba blocului, sub ploaia rece, cu m\u00e2na amor\u021bit\u0103 \u0219i cu sufletul str\u00e2ns. Taxiul plecase, iar ea sim\u021bea c\u0103 ceva se rupsese definitiv \u00een seara aceea.<\/p>\n
Nu a pl\u00e2ns. Nu atunci.<\/p>\n
A urcat \u00eencet sc\u0103rile, a intrat \u00een apartamentul \u00eentunecat \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat pe marginea patului. Telefonul vibra, dar nu s-a uitat. \u0218tia deja.<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2teva str\u0103zi distan\u021b\u0103, \u00een apartamentul soacrei, Igor \u00eentindea plicul cu un aer victorios.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, uite, de la noi, i-a spus el. A muncit Olga p\u00e2n\u0103 t\u00e2rziu, dar a meritat.<\/p>\n
Antonia Pavel a luat plicul, l-a desf\u0103cut ner\u0103bd\u0103toare \u0219i a \u00eencremenit. A num\u0103rat bancnotele o dat\u0103. A doua oar\u0103, cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta?! a izbucnit ea. Tu \u00ee\u021bi ba\u021bi joc de mine?!<\/p>\n
Igor a clipit, derutat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103? Sunt bani\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt bani munci\u021bi de ea! a \u021bipat femeia. Bani de prim\u0103! Nu cadou! Eu nu primesc a\u0219a ceva!<\/p>\n
A aruncat plicul pe mas\u0103, de parc\u0103 ar fi fost ceva murdar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am crescut un b\u0103rbat sau un ho\u021b? a continuat ea, cu vocea r\u0103gu\u0219it\u0103. Ai smuls banii din m\u00e2na nevestei tale ca ultimul derbedeu?!<\/p>\n
Igor s-a f\u0103cut mic. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba lui, mama nu era de partea lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Du-te \u0219i \u00eentoarce-i banii. Acum! a spus Antonia Pavel, rar \u0219i ap\u0103sat. \u0218i dac\u0103 nu e\u0219ti \u00een stare s\u0103 fii b\u0103rbat, m\u0103car nu mai fi o ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Igor a ie\u0219it buimac, cu plicul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Dar c\u00e2nd a ajuns acas\u0103, Olga nu mai era.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i f\u0103cuse un bagaj mic. Luase actele, telefonul \u0219i laptopul. Plecase la o prieten\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, Igor a sunat, a scris, a promis. Olga nu r\u0103spundea. Avea nevoie de lini\u0219te. Pentru prima dat\u0103, se g\u00e2ndea la ea.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, a venit mesajul de la soacr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eOlga, te rog s\u0103 m\u0103 ier\u021bi. N-am \u0219tiut c\u00e2t de departe a ajuns. Dac\u0103 vrei, vorbim.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit \u00eentr-o cafenea mic\u0103, de cartier. Antonia Pavel ar\u0103ta obosit\u0103. \u00cemb\u0103tr\u00e2nit\u0103 parc\u0103 \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 banii t\u0103i sunt la mine, i-a spus ea. Intac\u021bi. Nu i-am atins.<\/p>\n
Olga a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pentru bani am plecat, a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, a oftat femeia. \u0218i ai dreptate.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 o lun\u0103, Olga a cerut divor\u021bul.<\/p>\n
Nu a fost scandal. Nu au fost \u021bipete. Doar o semn\u0103tur\u0103 \u0219i un drum nou.<\/p>\n
S-a mutat \u00eentr-o garsonier\u0103 mic\u0103, aproape de serviciu. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 doarm\u0103 bine. S\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 din nou. S\u0103-\u0219i cumpere lucruri f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se justifice.<\/p>\n
Prima aceea a folosit-o pentru un curs pe care \u0219i-l dorise de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 de vineri, privind luminile ora\u0219ului dintr-o alt\u0103 fereastr\u0103, mai mic\u0103, Olga a \u00een\u021beles un lucru simplu:<\/p>\n
Banii vin \u0219i pleac\u0103.<\/p>\n
Demnitatea, dac\u0103 o pierzi, nu \u021bi-o mai d\u0103 nimeni \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
