\u2026Maria a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul. A \u00eenchis ochii, preg\u0103tit\u0103 pentru ce era mai r\u0103u. Pentru ru\u0219ine. Pentru durere. Pentru o via\u021b\u0103 \u00een care nu conta.<\/p>\n
Dar Dumitru nu s-a apropiat de ea.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103, cu m\u00e2inile la spate, ca un om care caut\u0103 curaj.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te-am luat de so\u021bie pentru ce cred ceilal\u021bi, a spus el rar. \u0218tiu ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat. \u0218tiu c\u0103 n-ai avut de ales.<\/p>\n
Maria a deschis ochii, surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci\u2026 de ce?<\/p>\n
Dumitru a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 am fost \u0219i eu v\u00e2ndut c\u00e2ndva. Nu pe bani. Pe t\u0103cere. Pe obliga\u021bii. Mi-am \u00eengropat via\u021ba ca s\u0103-i \u021bin pe al\u021bii \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, l\u0103s\u00e2nd distan\u021b\u0103 \u00eentre ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu o s\u0103 te ating p\u00e2n\u0103 nu o s\u0103 vrei tu. Po\u021bi dormi lini\u0219tit\u0103. U\u0219a r\u0103m\u00e2ne deschis\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, Maria a pl\u00e2ns \u00een pern\u0103. Nu de fric\u0103. De u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut \u00eencet. Dumitru era respectuos, t\u0103cut, atent. \u00cei l\u0103sa bani pe mas\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eentrebe ce face cu ei. O \u00eencuraja s\u0103 citeasc\u0103. S\u0103 ias\u0103 \u00een curte. S\u0103 respire.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, nimeni nu o supraveghea.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, Maria a primit veste de acas\u0103: fra\u021bii m\u00e2ncau, mama z\u00e2mbea din nou, tat\u0103l nu mai pleca fl\u0103m\u00e2nd diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Atunci a \u00een\u021beles pre\u021bul pe care \u00eel pl\u0103tise.<\/p>\n
Dar \u0219i ce primise la schimb.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 de iarn\u0103, st\u0103teau am\u00e2ndoi la mas\u0103. Lumina l\u0103mpii tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu te-ai c\u0103s\u0103torit p\u00e2n\u0103 acum? a \u00eentrebat ea.<\/p>\n
Dumitru a z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 n-am vrut s\u0103 cump\u0103r pe nimeni. Iar tu\u2026 tu n-ai fost o cump\u0103rare. Ai fost o salvare. Pentru am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n
Maria a \u00eentins m\u00e2na. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, din proprie voin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Anii au trecut. Dragostea a crescut \u00eencet, curat\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103. Iar Maria, fata v\u00e2ndut\u0103 ca s\u0103-\u0219i salveze familia, a devenit femeia care a g\u0103sit libertatea exact acolo unde se a\u0219tepta la lan\u021buri.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva ce n-a uitat niciodat\u0103:
uneori, via\u021ba te duce pe drumuri crude ca s\u0103 te \u00eenve\u021be, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii liber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
