Radu a r\u00e2s scurt, nesigur.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Glume\u0219ti, nu?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Deloc \u2014 am spus calm. \u2014 Dac\u0103 tot vorbim despre ideal \u0219i perfec\u021biune, mi se pare corect s\u0103 fim corec\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat, bomb\u0103nind, arunc\u00e2nd priviri \u00een jur, s\u0103 vad\u0103 dac\u0103 ne observ\u0103 cineva. Restaurantul era aproape plin. O familie cu un copil la masa de l\u00e2ng\u0103 noi, dou\u0103 femei mai \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 care m\u00e2ncau sup\u0103, un cuplu t\u00e2n\u0103r care \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea poze.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentins ruleta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Stai drept \u2014 i-am spus. \u2014 Ca la m\u0103sur\u0103tori serioase.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E penibil \u2014 a zis, dar n-a plecat.<\/p>\n
Am m\u0103surat \u00eent\u00e2i talia. Apoi umerii. Apoi pieptul. Am f\u0103cut-o lent, f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103, exact cum m\u0103surase el cu privirea fiecare detaliu la mine, la \u00eent\u00e2lnirea trecut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii \u2014 am spus lini\u0219tit\u0103 \u2014 observ c\u0103 \u0219i tu ai c\u00e2teva kilograme \u00een plus fa\u021b\u0103 de ce ar ar\u0103ta bine la o cin\u0103 cu investitori.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce prostii sunt astea? \u2014 a ridicat vocea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu prostii. Standardele tale \u2014 am r\u0103spuns. \u2014 Dac\u0103 eu trebuie s\u0103 sl\u0103besc \u0219apte kilograme ca s\u0103 fiu \u201edemn\u0103\u201d, atunci \u0219i tu ai putea da jos m\u0103car zece. Burta se vede sub c\u0103ma\u0219\u0103. \u0218i c\u0103ma\u0219a nu mai e chiar nou\u0103.<\/p>\n
O femeie de la masa vecin\u0103 a ridicat spr\u00e2nceana. Copilul s-a oprit din m\u00e2ncat \u0219i se uita la noi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu \u00ee\u021bi ba\u021bi joc de mine \u2014 a spus Radu, ro\u0219u la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u2014 am spus. \u2014 Doar aplic regulile tale. \u00cen plus, mai e ceva.<\/p>\n
Am str\u00e2ns ruleta \u0219i am pus-o pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai exist\u0103 un criteriu. Bunul-sim\u021b. Respectul. Asta nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een kilograme, dar, din p\u0103cate, la tine lipse\u0219te complet.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat brusc, a tras paharul de vin spre el \u0219i a b\u0103ut dintr-o \u00eenghi\u021bitur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exagerezi. Femeile ca tine ar trebui s\u0103 fie recunosc\u0103toare c\u0103 un b\u0103rbat ca mine se uit\u0103 la ele.<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit. Nu ironic. Clar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Femeile ca mine \u2014 am spus \u2014 nu mai sunt dispuse s\u0103 se mic\u0219oreze ca s\u0103 \u00eencap\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba cuiva. Nici la propriu, nici la figurat.<\/p>\n
Am chemat osp\u0103tarul, am pl\u0103tit salata \u0219i ceaiul meu. Am pus pe mas\u0103 exact c\u00e2t consuma\u021bia mea. Nici un leu \u00een plus.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vinul \u0219i friptura sunt ale tale \u2014 am ad\u0103ugat. \u2014 Tu le-ai ales.<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat. \u00cen spatele meu, cineva a spus \u00eencet \u201ebravo\u201d. Nu m-am \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
Afara, aerul era rece. Am mers pe jos c\u00e2teva str\u0103zi, cu geanta pe um\u0103r \u0219i ruleta \u00eenc\u0103 \u00een ea. Am sim\u021bit cum mi se u\u0219ureaz\u0103 pieptul cu fiecare pas.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea nu m-am dus la sal\u0103. Nu mi-am c\u00e2nt\u0103rit corpul. Nu mi-am f\u0103cut plan alimentar. Mi-am f\u0103cut o sup\u0103 acas\u0103, am pus muzic\u0103 rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 veche \u0219i am stat pe canapea.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu m-am sim\u021bit evaluat\u0103. M-am sim\u021bit \u00eentreag\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i mi-am promis ceva simplu: niciun b\u0103rbat nu va mai avea voie s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 c\u00e2t valorez \u00een kilograme, \u00een m\u0103rimi sau \u00een \u201epoten\u021bial\u201d.<\/p>\n
Valoarea mea nu \u00eencape pe nicio rulet\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
