Am ridicat capacul f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen oal\u0103 era ap\u0103 fiart\u0103 \u0219i c\u00e2teva paste simple, lipite \u00eentre ele. F\u0103r\u0103 ulei. F\u0103r\u0103 sare. F\u0103r\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Exact ce m\u00e2ncasem eu \u00een ultimele trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n
S-a l\u0103sat lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bi a r\u00e2s scurt, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 e o glum\u0103. Dar nimeni nu l-a urmat.<\/p>\n
Nicu s-a \u00eenro\u0219it.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vero, ce-i asta? Unde-i m\u00e2ncarea?<\/p>\n
L-am privit drept \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u00e2ncarea mea. Din banii mei.<\/p>\n
Cineva \u0219i-a dres glasul. \u0218eful s-a uitat la oal\u0103, apoi la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021beleg, a spus el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E simplu, am continuat calm. De trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, domnul Nicu m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 ce \u00ee\u0219i cump\u0103r\u0103 el din banii lui. Eu m\u0103n\u00e2nc ce \u00eemi permit din ai mei. Jum\u0103tate din salariu \u00eel trimit b\u0103iatului meu, student la Ia\u0219i. Restul se duce pe \u00eentre\u021binere. A\u0219a c\u0103, pentru aniversare, am pus pe mas\u0103 ce \u00eemi permit eu.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre colegi a l\u0103sat \u00eencet paharul jos.<\/p>\n
Pe mas\u0103 nu mai era nimic altceva. Nici salat\u0103 boeuf. Nici friptur\u0103. Nici sarmale. Doar farfurii goale \u0219i oala cu paste albe.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu ai \u00eennebunit? a \u0219optit Nicu printre din\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am scos din buzunar c\u00e2teva bonuri \u0219i le-am pus l\u00e2ng\u0103 oal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Coaste afumate \u2014 85 de lei. Salam crud-uscat \u2014 60 de lei. Ca\u0219caval \u2014 45 de lei. Toate cump\u0103rate s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na asta. Toate de pe \u201eraftul lui\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u0218eful s-a l\u0103sat pe spate \u00een scaun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adic\u0103 dumneata m\u00e2ncai separat de so\u021bie? a \u00eentrebat el rar.<\/p>\n
Nicu b\u00e2lb\u00e2ia ceva despre \u201eorganizare\u201d \u0219i \u201eprincipii\u201d.<\/p>\n
Eu am continuat, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridic vocea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a spus s\u0103 m\u0103 descurc singur\u0103. S\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc din banii mei. \u0218i am f\u0103cut \u00eentocmai. Azi am pus pe mas\u0103 exact c\u00e2t pot eu s\u0103 ofer.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea devenea ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bii de la service a murmurat: \u201eAsta nu-i frumos, Nicule\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218eful s-a ridicat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cred c\u0103 eu plec, a spus el, netezindu-\u0219i sacoul. Nu m\u0103 simt confortabil.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a luat haina. \u00cenc\u0103 doi invita\u021bi l-au urmat. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n
Nicu st\u0103tea \u00een mijlocul camerei, cu fa\u021ba p\u0103tat\u0103, cu m\u00e2inile pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 corp.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi, c\u0103 rezolv\u0103m acum! comand eu ceva! a strigat el.<\/p>\n
Dar u\u0219a deja se \u00eenchidea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de cinci minute, sufrageria era aproape goal\u0103. Pe mas\u0103 r\u0103m\u0103sese oala mea cu paste \u0219i sticlele nedesf\u0103cute.<\/p>\n
M-am dus \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 str\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n
Nicu a venit dup\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai-ai b\u0103tut joc de mine, a spus el r\u0103gu\u0219it.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Am respectat ce mi-ai cerut.<\/p>\n
M-a privit altfel atunci. Nu furios. Derutat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Puteai s\u0103 spui c\u0103 te deranjeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit amar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am spus. Doar c\u0103 nu m-ai auzit.<\/p>\n
M-am dus \u00een dormitor, am scos o valiz\u0103 \u0219i am pus \u00een ea lucrurile mele esen\u021biale. Nu multe. C\u00e2teva haine. Actele. Economiile mele \u2014 pu\u021bine, dar ale mele.<\/p>\n
Nicu a ap\u0103rut \u00een u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce faci?<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 descurc singur\u0103. A\u0219a cum ai vrut.<\/p>\n
Nu a mai spus nimic.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara aceea am plecat la sora mea. Dup\u0103 o lun\u0103 mi-am g\u0103sit o garsonier\u0103 mic\u0103. Nu luxoas\u0103. Dar lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi trimit \u00een continuare b\u0103iatul bani. M\u0103n\u00e2nc simplu, dar m\u0103n\u00e2nc cu poft\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cel mai important, la masa mea nu exist\u0103 \u201eraftul lui\u201d \u0219i \u201eraftul meu\u201d.<\/p>\n
Exist\u0103 doar demnitate.<\/p>\n
Iar asta nu cost\u0103 niciun leu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
