A r\u0103mas \u00een fa\u021ba mea, cu cea\u0219ca de cafea tremur\u00e2nd u\u0219or \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Nu p\u0103rea speriat\u0103. Mai degrab\u0103 obosit\u0103. Genul acela de oboseal\u0103 care nu vine de la lipsa somnului, ci de la ani \u00eentregi \u00een care ai tras de tine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e ce crezi, a continuat ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Am oftat. Fix asta credeam c\u0103 urmeaz\u0103. Replica clasic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba e exact ce cred, am spus. L-am v\u0103zut. Era\u021bi ca doi \u00eendr\u0103gosti\u021bi.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat pe scaunul din fa\u021ba mea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 vreau. Cafeneaua era una banal\u0103, de cartier, cu mese mici \u0219i un televizor care mergea f\u0103r\u0103 sonor pe \u0219tiri. Afar\u0103, ploua m\u0103runt, ca \u00eentr-o zi de noiembrie tipic rom\u00e2neasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Omul \u0103la e fratele meu, a zis ea.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas cu gura \u00eentredeschis\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fratele t\u0103u?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. Mihai. N-ai de unde s\u0103-l \u0219tii. A stat plecat mul\u021bi ani din \u021bar\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103 \u00eentre noi. M-am sim\u021bit prost. Dar ceva tot nu se lega.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i \u021binutul de m\u00e2n\u0103?<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit amar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mama a murit acum dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. Am fost la notar, la drumuri, la pomeni, la toate. El a venit special din Spania. Uneori, c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti la p\u0103m\u00e2nt, ai nevoie s\u0103 sim\u021bi c\u0103 nu e\u0219ti singur. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Mi-am frecat fruntea. Furia mea de \u201ejusti\u021biar de scar\u0103\u201d \u00eencepea s\u0103 se topeasc\u0103, dar \u00een locul ei venea o alt\u0103 senza\u021bie: ru\u0219inea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu i-ai spus so\u021bului t\u0103u? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
A privit pe geam.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 al meu nu mai e al meu de mult.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu, ca ni\u0219te monede aruncate pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ion e un om bun, a spus ea repede, parc\u0103 ap\u0103r\u00e2ndu-l. Munce\u0219te, nu bea, nu umbl\u0103 aiurea. Dar nu mai e aici. Vine acas\u0103, m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103, se uit\u0103 la televizor \u0219i adoarme. Vorbim doar despre facturi, rate \u0219i ce mai trebuie cump\u0103rat de la supermarket.<\/p>\n
A b\u0103ut o gur\u0103 de cafea, de\u0219i era rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am \u00eencercat s\u0103-i spun. De zeci de ori. De fiecare dat\u0103 mi-a zis c\u0103 exagerez, c\u0103 a\u0219a e via\u021ba, c\u0103 n-avem ce face.<\/p>\n
Mi-am adus aminte de Ion, vecinul meu. Cum m\u0103 ajuta la roat\u0103 c\u00e2nd mi se strica ma\u0219ina. Cum \u00eemi aducea mere din curte, toamna. Un om simplu, corect.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum m-am hot\u0103r\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
M-a privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 nu mai tr\u0103iesc pe jum\u0103tate.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aia n-am spus nim\u0103nui nimic. Nici lui Ion. Am urcat sc\u0103rile blocului cu un nod \u00een g\u00e2t. Adev\u0103rul nu era alb sau negru, cum \u00eemi pl\u0103cea mie s\u0103 cred.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Ion a b\u0103tut la u\u0219a mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai un minut? m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Avea ochii ro\u0219ii.<\/p>\n
Mi-a spus tot. C\u0103 ea \u00eei spusese adev\u0103rul. Despre singur\u0103tate. Despre t\u0103ceri. Despre ani pierdu\u021bi. Nu era vorba de alt b\u0103rbat. Era vorba de doi oameni care se r\u0103t\u0103ciser\u0103 unul de altul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am gre\u0219it, a zis Ion. Am crezut c\u0103 dac\u0103 aduc bani \u00een cas\u0103, dac\u0103 pl\u0103tesc tot la timp, e suficient.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, am v\u0103zut ceva ce nu mai v\u0103zusem de mult.<\/p>\n
Ion \u0219i so\u021bia lui ie\u0219ind \u00eempreun\u0103 din bloc, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2n\u0103. Nu teatral. Simplu. Ca doi oameni care au ales, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, s\u0103 se vad\u0103 din nou.<\/p>\n
Uneori, adev\u0103rul nu e ce pare de la distan\u021b\u0103. \u0218i uneori, cea mai mare tr\u0103dare nu e infidelitatea, ci indiferen\u021ba.<\/p>\n
De atunci, c\u00e2nd cred c\u0103 \u0219tiu povestea cuiva, \u00eemi aduc aminte de ziua aia. \u0218i tac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
