Autobuzul hurduca pe drumul dintre sate, iar eu sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu mai am aer. \u00cel priveam pe furi\u0219, cu coada ochiului. Era el. Aceea\u0219i linie a maxilarului, aceea\u0219i cicatrice mic\u0103 de l\u00e2ng\u0103 ureche, aceea\u0219i m\u00e2n\u0103 pe care o \u021binusem \u00een a mea de at\u00e2tea ori.<\/p>\n
Dar\u2026 mort.<\/p>\n
\u00cel v\u0103zusem dus. \u00cel pl\u00e2nsesem. \u00cel \u00eengropasem.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te uita la mine a\u0219a, a murmurat el, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i mi\u0219te buzele prea mult. Oamenii se uit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci explic\u0103-mi\u2026 acum\u2026 \u00eencet\u2026 am spus printre din\u021bi.<\/p>\n
A tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu am murit. A fost pus la cale.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi \u00eenghea\u021b\u0103 s\u00e2ngele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine ar face a\u0219a ceva?!<\/p>\n
A ezitat o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u0103rin\u021bii mei.<\/p>\n
M-am retras instinctiv, lovindu-m\u0103 de geamul rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti nebun?! De ce?!<\/p>\n
Autobuzul a fr\u00e2nat brusc, iar c\u00e2\u021biva oameni s-au uitat spre noi. Mi-am mu\u0219cat buza \u0219i am cobor\u00e2t tonul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru bani, a spus el. Pentru control. Pentru c\u0103 nu au acceptat niciodat\u0103 c\u0103 am ales s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc f\u0103r\u0103 ei\u2026 \u0219i cu tine.<\/p>\n
Mi-au dat lacrimile instant.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Despre ce vorbe\u0219ti\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Au vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc \u00een familie, s\u0103 preiau afacerea. Le-am spus c\u0103 nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103. C\u0103 vreau o via\u021b\u0103 simpl\u0103\u2026 cu tine. Asta i-a \u00eenfuriat.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103, privind \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a c\u0103 au aranjat totul. Au mituit medicul de pe ambulan\u021b\u0103. Substan\u021ba pe care mi-au dat-o\u2026 m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 par mort. Puls aproape zero. Respira\u021bie abia detectabil\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am prins cu m\u00e2inile de scaun.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 la \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sicriul a fost sigilat. Nu m-au \u00eengropat. M-au luat \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a f\u0103cut r\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i tu\u2026 unde ai fost o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ainut \u00eentr-o vil\u0103, undeva l\u00e2ng\u0103 Bucure\u0219ti. Sub supraveghere. Au vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 conving\u0103 s\u0103 semnez ni\u0219te acte. Mo\u0219teniri, firme\u2026 tot.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
S-a \u00eentors spre mine, pentru prima dat\u0103 direct.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am fugit.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Autobuzul mergea mai departe, ca \u0219i cum nimic nu era ie\u0219it din comun, dar lumea mea se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea \u0219i se reconstruia \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce mi-ai spus acum? De ce nu ai venit direct la mine?<\/p>\n
Ochii lui s-au \u00eenmuiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 erai urm\u0103rit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un fior rece pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Credeau c\u0103 o s\u0103 \u00eencerc s\u0103 te contactez. Au pus oameni s\u0103 te urm\u0103reasc\u0103. A trebuit s\u0103 a\u0219tept momentul potrivit.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremur.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i acum?<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acum avem o \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La ce?<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 plec\u0103m. Definitiv. Am ni\u0219te bani pu\u0219i deoparte. Nu mul\u021bi, dar suficien\u021bi. Ne ducem undeva unde nu ne g\u0103sesc. \u00cencepem de la zero.<\/p>\n
L-am privit lung.<\/p>\n
Omul pe care \u00eel iubeam\u2026 revenise din mor\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Dar nu era o poveste de basm.<\/p>\n
Era real. Greu. Periculos.<\/p>\n
\u0218i totu\u0219i\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i dac\u0103 ne g\u0103sesc? am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
A dat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci m\u0103car o s\u0103 \u0219tim c\u0103 am \u00eencercat s\u0103 tr\u0103im cum am vrut noi.<\/p>\n
Autobuzul a \u00eencetinit din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cobor\u00e2m aici, a spus el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici? Dar e doar un sat mic\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact.<\/p>\n
Am cobor\u00e2t \u00eempreun\u0103, \u00een lini\u0219tea serii. Aerul mirosea a p\u0103m\u00e2nt umed \u0219i fum de lemn. Departe de tot ce \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat la el.<\/p>\n
Nu mai eram mireasa care pl\u00e2ngea l\u00e2ng\u0103 un sicriu.<\/p>\n
Eram o femeie care alesese.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
El a prins-o str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu mi-a mai fost fric\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
