Ploaia tocmai se oprise, iar ora\u0219ul str\u0103lucea sub luminile nop\u021bii. Trotuarele ude reflectau tot ce trecea pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ele.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba hotelului de lux Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e Palace din Bucure\u0219ti<\/strong>, cu u\u0219ile lui mari de sticl\u0103 \u0219i candelabrele care sclipeau \u00een interior, o feti\u021b\u0103 st\u0103tea pe treptele reci de piatr\u0103, cu genunchii str\u00e2n\u0219i la piept.<\/p>\n Nu p\u0103rea s\u0103 aib\u0103 mai mult de nou\u0103 ani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Purta un pulover prea mare, cu m\u00e2necile destr\u0103mate, \u0219i pantofi at\u00e2t de toci\u021bi \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape nu mai aveau talp\u0103. L\u00e2ng\u0103 ea se afla o saco\u0219\u0103 de p\u00e2nz\u0103 \u2014 tot ce avea pe lumea asta. \u00cen\u0103untru, o sticl\u0103 de ap\u0103 pe jum\u0103tate goal\u0103 \u0219i o fotografie \u00eemp\u0103turit\u0103, p\u0103strat\u0103 ca pe ceva de mare pre\u021b.<\/p>\n O chema Emilia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pentru cei mai mul\u021bi oameni, nu exista.<\/p>\n Oaspe\u021bii hotelului intrau \u0219i ie\u0219eau f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o vad\u0103. Unii \u00ee\u0219i fereau privirea. Al\u021bii se uitau st\u00e2njeni\u021bi, de parc\u0103 s\u0103r\u0103cia ar fi fost ceva ce se ia. Emilia nu cer\u0219ea. Nu pl\u00e2ngea. Doar st\u0103tea acolo\u2026 \u0219i asculta.<\/p>\n Din interiorul hotelului se auzea \u00eencet sunetul unui pian.<\/p>\n De asta r\u0103m\u00e2nea acolo.<\/p>\n La un moment dat, o ma\u0219in\u0103 neagr\u0103, scump\u0103, a tras chiar \u00een fa\u021b\u0103. Din ea a cobor\u00e2t Mihai C\u0103linescu<\/strong>, cu telefonul lipit de ureche \u0219i iritarea clar\u0103 \u00een voce. Era genul de om iubit de pres\u0103: milionar f\u0103cut pe cont propriu, fondatorul unei firme IT care mergea din plin, mereu generos \u00een interviuri \u0219i discursuri. Costumul lui costa mai mult dec\u00e2t tot ce avusese Emilia vreodat\u0103. Ceasul \u00eei str\u0103lucea sub luminile hotelului c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i mi\u0219ca m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n A observat feti\u021ba doar pentru c\u0103 nu s-a dat din drum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n S-a oprit.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ce cau\u021bi aici?<\/strong>, a \u00eentrebat t\u0103ios.<\/p>\n Emilia a ridicat privirea. Ochii ei erau calmi \u2014 mult prea calmi pentru un copil al str\u0103zii.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u00cemi place muzica<\/strong>, a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n Mihai a \u00eencruntat spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n \u2014 Muzica?<\/p>\n Ea a ar\u0103tat spre pianul din interior.<\/p>\n A r\u00e2s scurt, batjocoritor.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u0218tii m\u0103car ce e aia? Lec\u021biile de pian cost\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t chiria pe o lun\u0103 a multora.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u0218tiu<\/strong>, a spus Emilia, privindu-l drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n R\u0103spunsul l-a enervat. Nu era rug\u0103minte. Era adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n \u0218i atunci, pe jum\u0103tate amuzat de el \u00eensu\u0219i, a spus f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103:<\/p>\n \u2014 Dac\u0103 \u0219tii s\u0103 c\u00e2n\u021bi la pian, te adopt.<\/strong><\/p>\n Asistentul lui s-a \u00eencordat imediat.<\/p>\n \u2014 Domnule\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Glumeam, a t\u0103iat-o Mihai, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un gest din m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n Dar Emilia nu a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n S-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n \u00cencet. Cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Chiar a\u0219a?<\/strong>, a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n Mihai a ezitat \u2014 doar o secund\u0103.
