Elena a sim\u021bit c\u0103 \u00eei fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare. Nu mai era loc de a\u0219teptat. Nu mai era loc de sperat c\u0103 \u201epoate nu e chiar a\u0219a\u201d. Pericolul era real \u0219i era acum.<\/p>\n
\u00cen primele ore, Cristina a \u00eenceput cu lucruri m\u0103runte. A \u021bipat pentru juc\u0103rii l\u0103sate pe jos. A \u00eencuiat u\u0219a camerei \u201eca s\u0103 se lini\u0219teasc\u0103\u201d. A refuzat s\u0103 le dea m\u00e2ncare p\u00e2n\u0103 nu \u201e\u00eenv\u0103\u021bau s\u0103 asculte\u201d. Sofia pl\u00e2ngea \u00een hohote. Mara nu mai scotea un sunet.<\/p>\n
Elena a intrat \u00een camer\u0103 cu un bol de sup\u0103 cald\u0103, pe furi\u0219.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u00e2nca\u021bi, puii mei, repede, a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Elena\u2026 ne e fric\u0103, a spus Sofia, cu buza tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Atunci Elena a luat o decizie. Una care putea s\u0103-i coste slujba. Sau libertatea. Dar nu \u0219i-ar fi iertat niciodat\u0103 la\u0219itatea.<\/p>\n
L-a sunat pe Mihai.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule\u2026 nu a\u021bi plecat, nu-i a\u0219a? a spus ea cu voce tremurat\u0103.<\/p>\n
La cap\u0103tul cel\u0103lalt a fost o pauz\u0103 lung\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt la un hotel, a r\u0103spuns Mihai \u00eencet. De ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00centoarce\u021bi-v\u0103. V\u0103 rog. Acum.<\/p>\n
Mihai a sim\u021bit un fior rece. \u00cen mintea lui au ap\u0103rut, ca ni\u0219te buc\u0103\u021bi de oglind\u0103 spart\u0103, privirile speriate ale fetelor, cuvintele Elenei, gesturile rigide ale Cristinei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vin, a spus scurt.<\/p>\n
Nu a a\u0219teptat diminea\u021ba. A condus toat\u0103 noaptea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns, soarele abia se ridica. Poarta era \u00eentredeschis\u0103. \u00cen cas\u0103 era lini\u0219te. Prea mult\u0103 lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
A intrat \u00eencet. Din hol se auzeau voci din camera fetelor. Vocea Cristinei, aspr\u0103. Vocea Elenei, calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 L\u0103sa\u021bi-le \u00een pace, doamn\u0103. Sunt copii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt ni\u0219te r\u0103sf\u0103\u021bate. \u0218i o s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021be s\u0103 m\u0103 asculte, sau o s\u0103 le fie mai r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Mihai a deschis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Ce a v\u0103zut l-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 cad\u0103 \u00een genunchi.<\/p>\n
Mara st\u0103tea ghemuit\u0103 pe pat, cu genunchii la piept. Sofia avea obrajii ro\u0219ii de pl\u00e2ns. Cristina \u021binea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o curea sub\u021bire, iar Elena st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba ei, ca un zid.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajunge, a spus Mihai, cu o voce pe care nu \u0219i-o recuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Cristina a sc\u0103pat cureaua din m\u00e2n\u0103. Fa\u021ba i s-a albit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mihai\u2026 trebuia s\u0103 fii plecat\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Totul a fost o minciun\u0103, a spus el \u00eencet, ridic\u00e2ndu-se. Tu.<\/p>\n
A chemat poli\u021bia. A chemat un avocat. A chemat protec\u021bia copilului.<\/p>\n
Cristina a plecat din casa aceea \u00een aceea\u0219i zi, f\u0103r\u0103 bijuterii, f\u0103r\u0103 promisiuni, f\u0103r\u0103 viitor. Elena a r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Mihai le-a \u021binut pe feti\u021be \u00een bra\u021be, am\u00e2ndou\u0103 deodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103 promit, a spus cu lacrimi \u00een ochi, c\u0103 nimeni nu o s\u0103 v\u0103 mai fac\u0103 vreodat\u0103 r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Elena a vrut s\u0103 plece, cu capul plecat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Elena, a oprit-o Mihai. Tu e\u0219ti familia noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ani mai t\u00e2rziu, vila nu a mai fost un loc rece. A fost plin\u0103 de r\u00e2sete, de miros de m\u00e2ncare g\u0103tit\u0103 \u0219i de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Uneori, salvarea nu vine din dragoste declarat\u0103, ci din grija t\u0103cut\u0103 a cuiva care \u00ee\u021bi protejeaz\u0103 copiii ca pe ai lui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
