Am ie\u0219it pe holul spitalului f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014Cine e? \u2014a \u00eentrebat Emma \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat m\u00e2na u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014Du-te l\u00e2ng\u0103 Gra\u021bia. Stai cu ea.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a dat din cap \u0219i a fugit \u00eenapoi \u00een salon.<\/p>\n
Am dus telefonul la ureche din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu \u0219tiu despre cine vorbe\u0219ti \u2014am spus calm.<\/p>\n
Omul a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ba \u0219tii foarte bine. Ai luat ceva ce e al meu.<\/p>\n
Mi s-a str\u00e2ns stomacul.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ea nu e un obiect.<\/p>\n
\u2014Pentru mine e mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t \u2014a spus el rece\u2014. \u0218i o vreau \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Am str\u00e2ns telefonul mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 bine. Dac\u0103 te apropii de ea\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014O s\u0103 ce? \u2014m-a \u00eentrerupt\u2014 O s\u0103 te joci de-a eroul?<\/p>\n
Am t\u0103cut o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu \u2014am spus \u00eencet\u2014. O s\u0103 fac ce trebuie.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo, pe hol, privind \u00een gol.<\/p>\n
Nu eram genul de om care caut\u0103 probleme.<\/p>\n
Dar nici genul care fuge de ele.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eentors \u00een salon.<\/p>\n
Gra\u021bia st\u0103tea rezemat\u0103 de pern\u0103, cu Noe la piept. Emma era l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, cu ochii mari, atent\u0103 la fiecare mi\u0219care a copilului.<\/p>\n
Gra\u021bia m-a privit imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Era el, nu?<\/p>\n
Am dat din cap.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba i s-a albit.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218tie unde sunt\u2026<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat \u0219i am tras un scaun l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu \u0219tie exact. \u00cenc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014O s\u0103 vin\u0103 dup\u0103 mine \u2014a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014O s\u0103 vin\u0103 dup\u0103 noi \u2014am corectat-o.<\/p>\n
Emma s-a uitat speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Tat\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Am pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103rul ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014Hei. Nimeni nu v\u0103 atinge. C\u00e2t sunt eu aici, nu se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219tiam dac\u0103 e adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Dar trebuia s\u0103 fie.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, nu am mai dormit aproape deloc. La ferm\u0103, am verificat fiecare lac\u0103t, fiecare poart\u0103. Am montat o lumin\u0103 nou\u0103 \u00een curte. Am \u021binut c\u00e2inele liber noaptea.<\/p>\n
Vecinul meu, nea Ilie, a venit \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ce-i cu tine, m\u0103i Marcu? Pari c\u0103 a\u0219tep\u021bi r\u0103zboiul.<\/p>\n
L-am privit direct.<\/p>\n
\u2014Poate c\u0103 vine.<\/p>\n
A dat din cap \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014Spune dac\u0103 ai nevoie de ajutor.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a plecat f\u0103r\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o noapte, c\u00e2inele a \u00eenceput s\u0103 latre.<\/p>\n
Nu l\u0103trat obi\u0219nuit.<\/p>\n
Avertizare.<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat din pat \u00een secunda urm\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Gra\u021bia a ap\u0103rut \u00een u\u0219\u0103, \u021bin\u00e2nd copilul.<\/p>\n
\u2014E el? \u2014a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Am pus degetul la buze.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it pe verand\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i l-am v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
O ma\u0219in\u0103 neagr\u0103, oprit\u0103 la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
Motorul pornit.<\/p>\n
Farurile stinse.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi bate inima \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Am mers \u00eencet p\u00e2n\u0103 la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a ma\u0219inii s-a deschis.<\/p>\n
Un b\u0103rbat a cobor\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u00cenalt. Calm. Sigur pe el.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u021ai-am spus c\u0103 o g\u0103sesc \u2014a zis.<\/p>\n
M-am oprit la c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu pleac\u0103 nic\u0103ieri.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu e alegerea ta.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ba da \u2014am spus\u2014. At\u00e2ta timp c\u00e2t e sub acoperi\u0219ul meu.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2inele a m\u00e2r\u00e2it.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cas\u0103, am auzit-o pe Emma.<\/p>\n
\u2014Tat\u0103!<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum ceva se schimb\u0103 \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
Nu mai era doar despre mine.<\/p>\n
Era despre ele.<\/p>\n
Despre casa asta.<\/p>\n
Despre lini\u0219tea pe care abia o reg\u0103sisem.<\/p>\n
Am f\u0103cut \u0219i eu un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u2014Pleac\u0103 \u2014am spus.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
M-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
Apoi a z\u00e2mbit din nou\u2026 dar altfel.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu azi \u2014a spus\u2014. Dar m\u0103 \u00eentorc.<\/p>\n
S-a urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i a plecat.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo, \u00een noapte, cu pumnii str\u00e2n\u0219i.<\/p>\n
\u0218tiam c\u0103 nu s-a terminat.<\/p>\n
Dar mai \u0219tiam ceva.<\/p>\n
Nu mai eram singur.<\/p>\n
\u0218i nici ele.<\/p>\n
Iar de data asta, nu aveam de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 pierd nimic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
