Mariana nu mai scotea niciun cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
St\u0103tea \u00een pragul u\u0219ii, cu plicul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi uitat cum se respir\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ofi\u021berul o privea fix, f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eV\u0103 rog s\u0103 citi\u021bi cu voce tare\u201d, a spus el calm.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cas\u0103 s-a f\u0103cut o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Eu nu mai sim\u021beam nimic. Nici ru\u0219ine. Nici fric\u0103. Doar un gol ciudat.<\/p>\n
Mariana a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 citeasc\u0103, cu voce tremurat\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 cite\u0219ti asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 fiica mea a ajuns la balul de absolvire\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Vocea i s-a rupt pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
A ridicat privirea, dar ofi\u021berul i-a f\u0103cut semn s\u0103 continue.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u2026\u0219i \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 eu nu mai sunt acolo s\u0103 o v\u0103d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Era vocea lui. Parc\u0103 \u00eel auzeam.<\/p>\n
\u201eAna este tot ce am avut mai bun pe lumea asta. \u0218i dac\u0103 tu, Mariana, ai ales s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i \u00een via\u021ba ei, te rog s\u0103 o tratezi ca pe propriul t\u0103u copil.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mariana tremura tot mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 nu ai f\u0103cut asta\u2026 atunci aceast\u0103 scrisoare va ajunge exact c\u00e2nd trebuie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fetele ei nu mai r\u00e2deau.<\/p>\n
Se uitau una la alta, nelini\u0219tite.<\/p>\n
Ofi\u021berul a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eContinua\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mariana a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen caz c\u0103 fiica mea nu este tratat\u0103 a\u0219a cum merit\u0103, am l\u0103sat toate bunurile mele pe numele ei \u2014 casa, economiile \u0219i indemniza\u021bia lunar\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Am clipit de c\u00e2teva ori, convins\u0103 c\u0103 n-am auzit bine.<\/p>\n
\u201eToate documentele sunt deja \u00eenregistrate. Ofi\u021berul de fa\u021b\u0103 va confirma.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mariana a sc\u0103pat scrisoarea din m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
H\u00e2rtia a c\u0103zut pe jos, fo\u0219nind u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu se poate\u2026\u201d a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
Ofi\u021berul a scos un dosar.<\/p>\n
\u201eEste c\u00e2t se poate de real. \u00cencep\u00e2nd de ast\u0103zi, proprietatea \u00eei apar\u021bine Anei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t sim\u021beam c\u0103-mi sparge pieptul.<\/p>\n
\u201eIar dumneavoastr\u0103 \u0219i fiicele dumneavoastr\u0103 ave\u021bi la dispozi\u021bie 30 de zile s\u0103 elibera\u021bi locuin\u021ba.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fetele au \u00eenceput s\u0103 protesteze imediat.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu e corect!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde o s\u0103 mergem?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar pentru prima dat\u0103\u2026 nu m-a mai durut.<\/p>\n
Le-am privit calm.<\/p>\n
Mariana s-a \u00eentors spre mine, cu o privire pe care nu o mai v\u0103zusem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu mai era arogan\u021b\u0103. Nici superioritate.<\/p>\n
Era fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eAna\u2026 putem discuta\u2026\u201d a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat u\u0219or b\u0103rbia.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm discutat destul \u00een ultimii ani. Doar c\u0103 tu vorbeai\u2026 iar eu t\u0103ceam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ofi\u021berul m-a privit cu respect.<\/p>\n
\u201eTat\u0103l t\u0103u a fost un om de onoare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit printre lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tiu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani\u2026 am sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai sunt mic\u0103. Nici neputincioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Eram liber\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am luat geanta de pe scaun.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm balul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ele f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 uit \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Afara, aerul era rece, dar curat.<\/p>\n
Am urcat \u00een taxi \u0219i am privit \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103 rochia.<\/p>\n
Nu mai vedeam doar o uniform\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cel vedeam pe tata.<\/p>\n
La bal, c\u00e2nd am intrat \u00een sal\u0103, toat\u0103 lumea s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 eram cea mai frumoas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103 eram altfel.<\/p>\n
Real\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een seara aceea\u2026 pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp\u2026<\/p>\n
Nu m-am mai sim\u021bit singur\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
