Viorel s-a ridicat greu, bomb\u0103nind.<\/p>\n
Scaunul a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it sub el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce mai e \u0219i circul \u0103sta? \u2014 a morm\u0103it, dar r\u00e2sul \u00eei disp\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n
Am apropiat oglinda de el.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t de aproape \u00eenc\u00e2t \u0219i-a v\u0103zut fiecare por, fiecare fir alb din musta\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uite-te bine \u2014 i-am spus.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput a z\u00e2mbit str\u00e2mb.<\/p>\n
Apoi z\u00e2mbetul i s-a topit.<\/p>\n
Oglinda nu minte.<\/p>\n
Nu iart\u0103.<\/p>\n
Burta \u00eei ap\u0103sa peste curea ca un aluat sc\u0103pat din covat\u0103. C\u0103ma\u0219a i se str\u00e2ngea sub bra\u021be. Pielea de la g\u00e2t \u00eei at\u00e2rna moale, iar ochii, c\u00e2ndva vii, p\u0103reau obosi\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Asta e forma de vultur? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
\u00cen camer\u0103 nu mai mi\u0219ca nimeni.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i frigiderul p\u0103rea c\u0103 tace.<\/p>\n
Viorel a \u00eencercat s\u0103 glumeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ei, la v\u00e2rsta noastr\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 La v\u00e2rsta noastr\u0103 ce? \u2014 l-am \u00eentrerupt. \u2014 Doar femeile \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nesc?<\/p>\n
Cuvintele mele nu erau strigate.<\/p>\n
Erau clare.<\/p>\n
A\u0219ezate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Treizeci de ani am g\u0103tit, am sp\u0103lat, am crescut copii, am mers la serviciu. Am pus bani deoparte, leu cu leu. \u021ai-am c\u0103lcat c\u0103m\u0103\u0219ile. \u021ai-am ascultat nemul\u021bumirile. \u0218i niciodat\u0103 nu \u021bi-am spus c\u0103 \u021bi-a crescut burta sau c\u0103 \u021bi-a c\u0103zut p\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 te-am iubit a\u0219a cum erai \u2014 am continuat. \u2014 Nu pentru cum ar\u0103tai.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina \u0219i-a \u0219ters o lacrim\u0103 discret.<\/p>\n
Gabi s-a foit pe scaun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar dac\u0103 tot vorbim de \u201er\u00e2nduiala firii\u201d \u2014 am spus, \u021bin\u00e2nd oglinda ferm \u2014 atunci s\u0103 fie aceea\u0219i pentru am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n
I-am pus oglinda \u00een m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n
Greutatea ei l-a surprins.<\/p>\n
A \u021binut-o c\u00e2teva clipe.<\/p>\n
S-a privit.<\/p>\n
Mai mult dec\u00e2t o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mai mult dec\u00e2t era confortabil.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ochii lui a ap\u0103rut ceva nou.<\/p>\n
Nu furie.<\/p>\n
Nu m\u00e2ndrie.<\/p>\n
Ci ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Olgu\u021ba\u2026 eu doar am glumit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u2014 am spus. \u2014 Ai vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 faci mic\u0103.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea s-a l\u0103sat iar.<\/p>\n
Dar nu mai era lipicioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era curat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu nu sunt un col\u0103cel \u2014 am spus. \u2014 Sunt femeia care \u021bi-a fost al\u0103turi c\u00e2nd aveai 1.500 de lei salariu \u0219i rate la banc\u0103. C\u00e2nd ne-am mutat \u00een garsoniera aia mic\u0103 \u0219i am dormit pe saltea pe jos. C\u00e2nd \u021bi-ai pierdut serviciul \u0219i am \u021binut casa din medita\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Vocea mi-a tremurat o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar nu m-am oprit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 nu-\u021bi mai place cum ar\u0103t, ai dou\u0103 variante: ori \u00eenve\u021bi s\u0103 m\u0103 respec\u021bi, ori \u00eenve\u021bi s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti f\u0103r\u0103 mine.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut \u00eentre noi ca o u\u0219\u0103 tr\u00e2ntit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Viorel a l\u0103sat oglinda \u00een jos.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een seara aceea, p\u0103rea mic.<\/p>\n
Nu din cauza bur\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Ci din cauza adev\u0103rului.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103.<\/p>\n
Simplu.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 glum\u0103.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 \u021buic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fost prost.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 musafirii au respirat atunci sau abia dup\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar eu am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eendreapt\u0103 spatele.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru el.<\/p>\n
Pentru mine.<\/p>\n
Am luat oglinda \u0219i am pus-o la loc pe perete.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Masa e \u00eenc\u0103 pe mas\u0103 \u2014 am spus calm. \u2014 Dac\u0103 mai vrem s\u0103 st\u0103m \u00eempreun\u0103, st\u0103m cu respect.<\/p>\n
Viorel s-a a\u0219ezat.<\/p>\n
N-a mai turnat \u021buic\u0103.<\/p>\n
N-a mai f\u0103cut glume.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, c\u00e2nd musafirii au plecat, a str\u00e2ns farfuriile f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i spun.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103 s-a trezit devreme.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru gantere.<\/p>\n
Pentru pia\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors, avea \u00een saco\u0219\u0103 legume, pe\u0219te \u0219i un buchet mic de flori.<\/p>\n
Nu trandafiri scumpi.<\/p>\n
Garoafe simple.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cencepem am\u00e2ndoi \u2014 a spus.<\/p>\n
Nu despre sl\u0103bit.<\/p>\n
Despre respect.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, m-am uitat la el \u0219i n-am mai v\u0103zut un vultur sau un sac de cartofi.<\/p>\n
Am v\u0103zut un b\u0103rbat care \u00eenv\u0103\u021base, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, c\u0103 dragostea nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een col\u0103cei.<\/p>\n
Ci \u00een felul \u00een care \u0219tii s\u0103 \u021bii oglinda \u2014 mai \u00eent\u00e2i pentru tine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
