Mi-am \u0219ters lacrimile, l-am \u00eembr\u0103cat pe Matei \u0219i am pus biletul \u00een portofel, l\u00e2ng\u0103 buletin. M\u00e2inile \u00eemi tremurau. \u00cen cap \u00eemi suna un singur g\u00e2nd: \u201eTrebuie s\u0103-i spun lui Radu.\u201d Era tat\u0103l copilului meu. Era so\u021bul meu. Ar fi trebuit s\u0103 ne bucur\u0103m \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am ajuns la cl\u0103direa de birouri pu\u021bin dup\u0103 pr\u00e2nz. Sticl\u0103, beton, paznic plictisit. L-am luat pe Matei \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i am urcat cu liftul. Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea \u00een g\u00e2t, dar z\u00e2mbeam. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu mai f\u0103ceam calcule \u00een cap.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd m-am apropiat de u\u0219a biroului lui Radu, am auzit voci. Nu voiam s\u0103 trag cu urechea, dar numele meu m-a oprit pe loc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ana n-are habar, spunea Radu. At\u00e2ta timp c\u00e2t crede c\u0103 suntem pe zero, st\u0103 lini\u0219tit\u0103 acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i apartamentul ei? a \u00eentrebat altcineva. L-ai trecut pe firm\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Normal. A fost simplu. A avut \u00eencredere. Femeile a\u0219a fac.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut frig. Matei s-a foit \u00een bra\u021bele mele \u0219i m-a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 intr\u0103m la tati. N-am r\u0103spuns. Am mai auzit r\u00e2sete. Cuvinte despre bani muta\u021bi, despre \u201esiguran\u021b\u0103 personal\u0103\u201d, despre c\u00e2t de bine e c\u00e2nd \u201e\u021bii lucrurile sub control\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul. Liftul p\u0103rea departe, dar am ajuns cumva la el. U\u0219ile s-au \u00eenchis \u0219i am sim\u021bit cum ceva din mine se rupe \u0219i se a\u0219az\u0103 la loc, \u00eentr-o form\u0103 nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, n-am spus nim\u0103nui despre bani.<\/p>\n
Am vorbit cu un avocat. Apoi cu un notar. Am deschis un cont pe numele meu. Am pus biletul \u00een seif. Am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat lucruri pe care nu credeam c\u0103 va trebui vreodat\u0103 s\u0103 le \u0219tiu.<\/p>\n
Seara, Radu a venit acas\u0103 obosit, cu acela\u0219i discurs despre problemele firmei. L-am ascultat calm\u0103. I-am pus cina. L-am culcat pe Matei. \u00cen mine nu mai era furie, ci claritate.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, i-am spus c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 plec\u0103m o perioad\u0103 la sora mea. N-a pus \u00eentreb\u0103ri. Avea alte griji.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a primit actele de divor\u021b, deja \u0219tiam c\u0103 banii sunt ai mei. Legal. Curat. \u0218tiam \u0219i c\u0103 apartamentul v\u00e2ndut atunci fusese mutat ilegal. A \u0219tiut \u0219i el, din privirea mea, c\u0103 jocul s-a terminat.<\/p>\n
Am cump\u0103rat un apartament mic, luminos, aproape de parc. I-am luat lui Matei o biciclet\u0103. Am pl\u0103tit gr\u0103dini\u021ba f\u0103r\u0103 rate. Am dormit nop\u021bi \u00eentregi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 num\u0103r zilele p\u00e2n\u0103 la salariu.<\/p>\n
N-am devenit alt om. Am devenit, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, eu.<\/p>\n
Cincizeci de milioane de lei nu mi-au schimbat via\u021ba \u00een ziua \u00een care i-am c\u00e2\u0219tigat.
Mi-au schimbat-o \u00een ziua \u00een care am ales s\u0103 plec.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
