\u00cen\u0103untru erau bani.<\/p>\n
Nu unul, nu doi\u2026 un teanc gros, legat cu elastic. Marina i-a scos cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde \u0219i i-a \u00eentins pe mas\u0103. Bancnote de 100 \u0219i 200 de lei, una peste alta.<\/p>\n
Respira\u021bia i s-a t\u0103iat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamne\u2026<\/p>\n
A \u00eenceput s\u0103 numere. O dat\u0103. De dou\u0103 ori.<\/p>\n
Peste 30.000 de lei.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun, ame\u021bit\u0103. \u00cen cap i se \u00eenv\u00e2rteau g\u00e2ndurile. Cu banii \u0103\u0219tia putea pl\u0103ti chiria pe luni \u00eentregi. Putea umple frigiderul. Putea cump\u0103ra haine pentru Kira.<\/p>\n
Dar\u2026 de ce erau ascun\u0219i acolo?<\/p>\n
Privirea i-a c\u0103zut din nou pe p\u0103turic\u0103. At\u00e2t de curat\u0103. At\u00e2t de \u00eengrijit\u0103. Nu p\u0103rea ceva aruncat la \u00eent\u00e2mplare.<\/p>\n
Atunci a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Nu fusese gunoi.<\/p>\n
Fusese ascuns.<\/p>\n
Marina s-a ridicat brusc \u0219i s-a uitat pe geam. Parcarea era goal\u0103. Jeepul disp\u0103ruse demult.<\/p>\n
Inima i-a \u00eenceput s\u0103 bat\u0103 mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 se \u00eentoarce?<\/p>\n
A str\u00e2ns banii la piept. Apoi s-a uitat spre p\u0103tu\u021bul Kirei. Feti\u021ba dormea lini\u0219tit\u0103, cu m\u00e2nu\u021ba pe p\u0103turica aceea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a luat o decizie.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, a mers \u00eenapoi la complex.<\/p>\n
A stat la poart\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, apoi s-a apropiat de portar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua\u2026 ieri sear\u0103, un domn cu un jeep negru a aruncat ni\u0219te lucruri\u2026<\/p>\n
Portarul a ridicat din spr\u00e2ncene.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A, domnul Ionescu. St\u0103 la etajul 5.<\/p>\n
Marina a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul.<\/p>\n
A urcat.<\/p>\n
A ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba u\u0219ii. A ezitat. Apoi a b\u0103tut.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, u\u0219a s-a deschis.<\/p>\n
Acela\u0219i b\u0103rbat. Elegant. Rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da?<\/p>\n
Marina a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u021bi aruncat ieri o p\u0103turic\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
El a \u00eencremenit o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
Ea a scos plicul cu bani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Erau \u00een\u0103untru.<\/p>\n
Ochii b\u0103rbatului s-au m\u0103rit u\u0219or. A privit \u00een jur, apoi a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Intr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Marina a intrat cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce\u2026 erau acolo? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat ea.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu trebuia s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la nimeni.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat \u0219i \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am avut probleme\u2026 cu ni\u0219te oameni. Era mai sigur s\u0103-i ascund a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
A ridicat privirea spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Puteai s\u0103-i p\u0103strezi.<\/p>\n
Marina a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i totu\u0219i ai venit.<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am o feti\u021b\u0103. Vreau s\u0103 creasc\u0103 \u0219tiind ce e corect.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, b\u0103rbatul a p\u0103rut\u2026 uman.<\/p>\n
A luat banii, i-a pus pe mas\u0103, apoi s-a dus \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 camer\u0103. S-a \u00eentors cu un plic mai mare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ia.<\/p>\n
Marina a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e mil\u0103. E respect.<\/p>\n
Ea a deschis u\u0219or plicul. \u00cen\u0103untru erau bani.<\/p>\n
\u2014 10.000 de lei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba po\u021bi. Pentru copil.<\/p>\n
Marina a sim\u021bit cum i se umezesc ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc\u2026<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ie\u0219it din apartament, lumea p\u0103rea altfel.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 avea bani.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, sim\u021bea c\u0103 nu mai e singur\u0103 \u00eempotriva tuturor.<\/p>\n
Acas\u0103, Kira r\u00e2dea, \u00eenvelit\u0103 \u00een p\u0103turica roz.<\/p>\n
Marina s-a a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea \u0219i a str\u00e2ns-o \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 fie bine, puiule\u2026<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, chiar a crezut asta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
