Robert p\u0103\u0219e\u0219te \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai scoat\u0103 un sunet.<\/p>\n
Valentina \u00eencremene\u0219te cu paharul la jum\u0103tatea drumului spre buze. Culoarea \u00eei dispare din obraji.<\/p>\n
\u201eRobert\u2026 nu \u0219tiam c\u0103 ai ajuns.\u201d<\/p>\n
El nu r\u0103spunde. Se duce direct la frigider. \u00cel deschide.<\/p>\n
Plin. Carne, br\u00e2nzeturi scumpe, deserturi fine, fructe exotice. Rafturile gem.<\/p>\n
Se \u00eentoarce \u00eencet spre Lucia.<\/p>\n
\u201eTata\u2026\u201d, \u0219opte\u0219te ea, speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Robert se las\u0103 \u00een genunchi \u00een fa\u021ba ei. \u00cei cuprinde obrajii mici \u00een palme. \u00cei simte pielea rece.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe c\u00e2nd?\u201d vocea lui e joas\u0103, dar tremur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia ezit\u0103. Se uit\u0103 la Valentina.<\/p>\n
\u201eSpune adev\u0103rul\u201d, zice el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridice tonul.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe c\u00e2nd ai plecat la Cluj pentru proiectul \u0103la mare\u2026\u201d, spune ea \u00eencet. \u201eZicea c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b s\u0103 nu fiu r\u0103sf\u0103\u021bat\u0103. C\u0103 m\u00e2ncarea cost\u0103 bani.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert \u00eenchide ochii o secund\u0103. Doar una.<\/p>\n
Apoi se ridic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eIe\u0219i din casa mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Valentina r\u00e2de scurt, fals. \u201eTe rog. E doar un copil care exagereaz\u0103. \u0218tii cum sunt copiii\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eIe\u0219i. Acum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vocea lui e calm\u0103. Prea calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Valentina \u00eencepe s\u0103 \u021bipe. C\u0103 el nu \u00een\u021belege. C\u0103 Lucia \u00eel manipuleaz\u0103. C\u0103 ea a \u00eencercat doar s\u0103 o educe.<\/p>\n
Robert scoate telefonul. Apas\u0103 un buton.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 seara, domnule avocat. Vreau s\u0103 \u00eencep procedura de divor\u021b. M\u00e2ine diminea\u021b\u0103. \u0218i vreau s\u0103 bloca\u021bi toate conturile comune. Imediat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Valentina amu\u021be\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu po\u021bi s\u0103 faci asta! Am drepturi!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eAi dreptul s\u0103 pleci pe u\u0219\u0103. At\u00e2t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, Valentina pleac\u0103 doar cu dou\u0103 valize. F\u0103r\u0103 carduri. F\u0103r\u0103 ma\u0219in\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 acces la nimic.<\/p>\n
Casa r\u0103m\u00e2ne t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Robert \u00eenc\u0103lze\u0219te o ciorb\u0103 simpl\u0103. Taie p\u00e2ine. Pune pe mas\u0103 un castron mare \u00een fa\u021ba Luciei.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 \u00eencet la \u00eenceput. Apoi mai repede. Apoi cu lacrimi \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u201eTata\u2026 nu m\u0103 trimi\u021bi la orfelinat, nu?\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert simte cum i se rupe sufletul.<\/p>\n
\u201eTu e\u0219ti casa mea, Lucia. Nu povara mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
O ia \u00een bra\u021be. Str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, vestea divor\u021bului se r\u0103sp\u00e2nde\u0219te rapid. \u00cen lumea lor, totul circul\u0103 repede. Prieteni fal\u0219i dispar. Al\u021bii sun\u0103 doar din curiozitate.<\/p>\n
Robert nu mai pleac\u0103 din ora\u0219 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u00eentregi. Refuz\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lniri. Am\u00e2n\u0103 contracte de milioane de lei.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103, \u00eei face Luciei pachet pentru \u0219coal\u0103. Sandvi\u0219 cu \u0219ni\u021bel, m\u0103r, o napolitan\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucruri simple.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, o g\u0103se\u0219te desen\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Pe foaie sunt doi oameni \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2n\u0103. Deasupra scrie st\u00e2ngaci: \u201eEu \u0219i tata. Acas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci \u00een\u021belege.<\/p>\n
A construit cl\u0103diri de birouri. A lansat aplica\u021bii folosite de mii de oameni. A \u00eenv\u00e2rtit sume uria\u0219e.<\/p>\n
Dar aproape c\u0103 \u0219i-a pierdut copilul.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, Robert deschide o funda\u021bie pentru copii r\u0103ma\u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 un p\u0103rinte. O nume\u0219te \u201eCasa Luciei\u201d. O parte din profitul firmei merge direct acolo.<\/p>\n
Pentru mese calde.<\/p>\n
Pentru rechizite.<\/p>\n
Pentru copii care nu trebuie s\u0103 mai bat\u0103 la u\u0219i cer\u00e2nd \u201eceva ce nu mai m\u00e2nca\u021bi\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, Lucia \u00eel \u00eentreab\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eTata, acum suntem bine?\u201d<\/p>\n
El z\u00e2mbe\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Casa miroase a sarmale. \u00cen cuptor se coace cozonac. La radio merge o melodie veche.<\/p>\n
\u201eAcum suntem acas\u0103\u201d, \u00eei spune.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, lini\u0219tea nu mai doare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
