G\u00e2ndul acela l-a lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t ploaia din noaptea trecut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu fusese un accident.<\/p>\n
St\u0103tea pe banca din fa\u021ba casei, cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde, privind c\u00e2mpul ud. Coco\u0219ii c\u00e2ntau, ca \u00een orice diminea\u021b\u0103, de parc\u0103 nimic nu se schimbase. Dar pentru el se schimbase totul.<\/p>\n
Alexandru Radu se \u00eentorsese.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintea acum clar. Ma\u0219ina, fr\u00e2nele care nu r\u0103spundeau. M\u00e2na care \u00eel \u00eempinsese. Privirea rece a omului \u00een care avusese \u00eencredere oarb\u0103. Partenerul lui. Prietenul lui.<\/p>\n
Laura a ie\u0219it din cas\u0103 cu o can\u0103 de ceai fierbinte. L-a privit atent, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic. A v\u0103zut \u00een ochii lui ceva diferit. O greutate. O hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-ai adus aminte, a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eencuviin\u021bat. N-a \u00eencercat s\u0103 mint\u0103. Nu mai avea rost.<\/p>\n
I-a spus totul. Despre ora\u0219. Despre bani. Despre tr\u0103dare. Despre c\u00e2t de gol fusese, de fapt, \u00een toat\u0103 via\u021ba aceea plin\u0103 de milioane de lei.<\/p>\n
Laura a ascultat \u00een t\u0103cere. C\u00e2nd a terminat, a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum ce faci?<\/p>\n
\u00centrebarea era simpl\u0103. R\u0103spunsul, nu.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la cas\u0103. La gardul pe care \u00eel reparase cu m\u00e2inile lui. La Matei, care se juca \u00een noroi. La Sofia, care r\u00e2dea. La Laura.<\/p>\n
Acolo fusese salvat. Nu de bani. Nu de putere. De oameni.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ora\u0219 \u00eel a\u0219tepta r\u0103zbunarea. Procese. Scandal. Presa. O lume fl\u0103m\u00e2nd\u0103 de s\u00e2nge \u0219i titluri.<\/p>\n
Acolo \u00eel a\u0219tepta via\u021ba adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 duc \u00eenapoi, a spus el, cu voce joas\u0103. Dar nu ca \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile, Alexandru a plecat. Nu cu ma\u0219ini scumpe. Nu cu escorte. Cu un autobuz vechi, pl\u0103tit cu ultimii lei \u00eemprumuta\u021bi.<\/p>\n
La ora\u0219, apari\u021bia lui a fost un cutremur. Ziarele au explodat. Oamenii care \u00eei \u00eemp\u0103r\u021biser\u0103 averea au \u00eenlemnit. Tr\u0103d\u0103torul a fost arestat. Adev\u0103rul a ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar cel mai mare \u0219oc n-a fost revenirea lui.<\/p>\n
Ci ce a f\u0103cut cu banii.<\/p>\n
A v\u00e2ndut tot. Cl\u0103diri. Afaceri. Ma\u0219ini.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a investit altfel.<\/p>\n
A cump\u0103rat p\u0103m\u00e2nturi abandonate. A ridicat case simple. A deschis ateliere. A creat locuri de munc\u0103 pentru oameni uita\u021bi, ca Laura.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 un an, s-a \u00eentors la c\u0103su\u021ba din c\u00e2mp.<\/p>\n
Nu ca milionar.<\/p>\n
Ci ca om.<\/p>\n
A construit o cas\u0103 nou\u0103, dar la fel de simpl\u0103. A pus m\u00e2na pe sap\u0103. A muncit cot la cot cu ceilal\u021bi. Laura l-a privit \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De data asta nu mai fugi, nu?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, a spus el. De data asta \u0219tiu unde e casa mea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, Alexandru Radu a adormit f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 gol \u00een suflet, f\u0103r\u0103 regrete.<\/p>\n
Avea mai pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n
Dar era, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, bogat cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
