Victor s-a ridicat \u00eencet de la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile la piept, preg\u0103tit\u0103 pentru ce era mai r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Dar el nu a ridicat vocea.<\/p>\n
Nu s-a \u00eencruntat.<\/p>\n
S-a aplecat \u0219i a luat ghiozd\u0103nelul roz de pe podea, l-a scuturat u\u0219or \u0219i l-a pus l\u00e2ng\u0103 scaunul Mariei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e nicio problem\u0103 \u2014 a spus calm. \u2014 Poate s\u0103 mai stea pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Ana a clipit, ne\u00eencrez\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule Popescu\u2026 eu\u2026 \u00eemi cer mii de scuze. Nu trebuia\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu \u2014 a \u00eentrerupt-o el. \u2014 Dar e doar o cafea.<\/p>\n
Maria a z\u00e2mbit larg, ca \u0219i cum ar fi c\u00e2\u0219tigat un premiu.<\/p>\n
Victor i-a f\u0103cut semn Anei s\u0103 se apropie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lua\u021bi loc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, nu pot\u2026 eu sunt la serviciu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu sunt acas\u0103 \u2014 a r\u0103spuns el simplu. \u2014 Iar micul dejun e prea mare pentru o singur\u0103 persoan\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a a\u0219ezat timid pe marginea scaunului.<\/p>\n
Nu mai st\u0103tuse niciodat\u0103 la masa aceea.<\/p>\n
Timp de ani, m\u00e2ncase \u00een picioare, pe apucate, cu grij\u0103 s\u0103 nu deranjeze.<\/p>\n
Maria vorbea f\u0103r\u0103 oprire.<\/p>\n
Despre \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Despre cum \u00ee\u0219i dore\u0219te o biciclet\u0103, dar mama str\u00e2nge bani.<\/p>\n
Despre cum uneori se prefac c\u0103 nu le e foame, ca s\u0103 le ajung\u0103 banii p\u00e2n\u0103 la salariu.<\/p>\n
Victor asculta.<\/p>\n
\u0218i fiecare cuv\u00e2nt \u00eei mai cr\u0103pa c\u00e2te pu\u021bin armura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t pl\u0103te\u0219ti chiria? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, aparent \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
Ana a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103 mii de lei\u2026 pentru o garsonier\u0103 mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Victor a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Greu.<\/p>\n
Nu a mai spus nimic atunci.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een acea zi, a f\u0103cut ceva ce nu mai f\u0103cuse niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A mers pe jos p\u00e2n\u0103 la biroul lui.<\/p>\n
A scos dintr-un sertar o h\u00e2rtie veche.<\/p>\n
O h\u00e2rtie cu datorie.<\/p>\n
Un \u00eemprumut mic, din tinere\u021be.<\/p>\n
Semnat de Elena.<\/p>\n
Femeia care plecase f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i spun\u0103 c\u0103 e \u00eens\u0103rcinat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Data se potrivea.<\/p>\n
V\u00e2rsta Mariei se potrivea.<\/p>\n
Ochii.<\/p>\n
Curiozitatea.<\/p>\n
Singur\u0103tatea.<\/p>\n
Seara, a chemat-o pe Ana \u00een birou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 vorbim \u2014 i-a spus.<\/p>\n
Ana a intrat tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu v\u0103 dau afar\u0103 \u2014 a zis el imediat. \u2014 Din contr\u0103.<\/p>\n
I-a spus tot.<\/p>\n
Despre Elena.<\/p>\n
Despre gre\u0219elile lui.<\/p>\n
Despre anii pierdu\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Ana a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Nu de fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
De u\u0219urare.<\/p>\n
Testul a confirmat adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Maria era fiica lui.<\/p>\n
\u00cen lunile care au urmat, vila rece s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
Au ap\u0103rut desene pe frigider.<\/p>\n
Juc\u0103rii prin living.<\/p>\n
R\u00e2sete diminea\u021ba.<\/p>\n
Victor a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 fac\u0103 cl\u0103tite arse.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 duc\u0103 copilul la \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n
S\u0103 asculte.<\/p>\n
Ana nu a mai fost \u201efemeia de serviciu\u201d.<\/p>\n
A devenit familie.<\/p>\n
Iar Victor Popescu, magnatul temut, a \u00een\u021beles \u00eentr-un final un lucru simplu:<\/p>\n
Nu averea \u00eel f\u0103cuse singur.<\/p>\n
Ci lipsa curajului de a iubi.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 obi\u0219nuit\u0103, Maria l-a privit peste cea\u0219ca de cafea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vezi? \u2014 i-a spus. \u2014 Nimeni n-ar trebui s\u0103 bea cafeaua singur.<\/p>\n
\u0218i de data asta, Victor a z\u00e2mbit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 doar\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
