Carmen a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic, privind-o fix pe Lucia. \u00cen salon, aparatele continuau s\u0103 bip\u0103ie lini\u0219tit, ca \u0219i cum nimic nu s-ar fi schimbat.<\/p>\n
Dar se schimbase totul.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe\u2026 ce vrei s\u0103 fac?\u201d a \u0219optit ea, \u00een cele din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia a \u00eenchis ochii pentru o clip\u0103, adun\u00e2ndu-\u0219i puterile.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, ai \u00eencredere \u00een mine. Nu mor. Nu \u00eenc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carmen a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec. Nu mai v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103 un pacient \u00een starea aceea vorbind cu at\u00e2ta siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, totul s-a mi\u0219cat \u00eencet\u2026 dar exact cum voia Lucia.<\/p>\n
Analizele \u201ese \u00eenr\u0103ut\u0103\u021beau\u201d. Doctorii cl\u0103tinau din cap. Alexandru venea zilnic, juc\u00e2nd acela\u0219i teatru \u2014 flori, voce cald\u0103, lacrimi pref\u0103cute.<\/p>\n
Dar Lucia auzea tot.<\/p>\n
\u0218i vedea tot.<\/p>\n
Cu ajutorul lui Carmen, a \u00eenceput s\u0103-\u0219i pun\u0103 planul \u00een mi\u0219care.<\/p>\n
Mai \u00eent\u00e2i, telefonul.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o noapte, c\u00e2nd salonul era lini\u0219tit, Carmen i-a adus un telefon simplu. Lucia a trimis c\u00e2teva mesaje scurte. Doar c\u00e2teva persoane de \u00eencredere.<\/p>\n
Un avocat.<\/p>\n
Un vechi prieten din facultate.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cel mai important\u2026 un notar.<\/p>\n
Apoi, documentele.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timp ce Alexandru visa deja la bani \u0219i propriet\u0103\u021bi, Lucia semna \u00een lini\u0219te h\u00e2rtii noi. Conturile au fost mutate. Ac\u021biunile transferate. Apartamentul trecut pe alt nume.<\/p>\n
Totul legal. Totul curat.<\/p>\n
Zilele au trecut.<\/p>\n
A treia zi a venit.<\/p>\n
Alexandru era \u00een salon, cu aceea\u0219i privire calculat\u0103, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd finalul. Se uita la aparat, la respira\u021bia ei slab\u0103, \u0219i aproape c\u0103 nu mai avea r\u0103bdare.<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103raca\u2026\u201d a murmurat, pentru form\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Lucia a deschis ochii.<\/p>\n
Clar. Con\u0219tient.<\/p>\n
L-a privit direct.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u201eSurprins?\u201d a spus ea, \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba lui s-a albit.<\/p>\n
\u201eLucia\u2026 tu\u2026 doctorii au spus\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eC\u0103 mor?\u201d a continuat ea. \u201eDa. \u0218tiu ce au spus.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat u\u0219or \u00een pat, cu un efort vizibil, dar controlat.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i tu ai crezut. Ba chiar te-ai bucurat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu \u0219tiu despre ce vorbe\u0219ti\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eApartamentul. Banii. Ac\u021biunile,\u201d a spus ea, privindu-l fix. \u201eLe voiai pe toate.\u201d<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, Alexandru nu mai avea replic\u0103.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a s-a deschis.<\/p>\n
Au intrat doi oameni. Un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum \u2014 avocatul. \u0218i un notar.<\/p>\n
Carmen st\u0103tea \u00een spate, t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDomnule Alexandru,\u201d a spus avocatul calm, \u201eso\u021bia dumneavoastr\u0103 a f\u0103cut c\u00e2teva modific\u0103ri legale \u00een ultimele zile.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u201eTot ce credeai c\u0103 o s\u0103 fie al t\u0103u\u2026 nu mai e.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexandru a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u2026 nu se poate\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eBa da,\u201d a spus ea. \u201e\u0218i mai e ceva.\u201d<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un semn u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
Carmen a pornit o \u00eenregistrare pe telefon.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui Alexandru a umplut salonul:<\/p>\n
\u201e\u2026\u00een cur\u00e2nd, toate vor fi ale mele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Lovitura final\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia l-a privit calm.<\/p>\n
\u201eAi pierdut tot. Banii. Imaginea. \u0218i pe mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ochii lui Alexandru erau goi.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai controla nimic.<\/p>\n
Lucia s-a l\u0103sat pe pern\u0103, obosit\u0103\u2026 dar lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu murise.<\/p>\n
Se salvase.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, era liber\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
