Matei nu s-a clintit.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas drept, cu m\u00e2inile pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 corp, privind calm spre Fabian, de parc\u0103 nu \u00een fa\u021ba unei lame ascu\u021bite st\u0103tea, ci \u00een fa\u021ba unei simple ne\u00een\u021belegeri. Dar \u00een ochii lui era ceva diferit. Nu fric\u0103. Nu ezitare. Ci hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
Lucia sim\u021bea cum \u00eei bate inima \u00een piept de parc\u0103 voia s\u0103-i sparg\u0103 coastele. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba ei, cineva r\u0103m\u00e2nea acolo\u2026 pentru ea.<\/p>\n
\u201eD\u0103-te la o parte,\u201d a spus Matei rar.<\/p>\n
Fabian a r\u00e2s din nou, dar r\u00e2sul lui nu mai avea aceea\u0219i siguran\u021b\u0103.
\u201eSau ce? Ce o s\u0103 faci?\u201d<\/p>\n
Un moment de t\u0103cere s-a a\u0219ternut peste curte. P\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i v\u00e2ntul parc\u0103 se oprise.<\/p>\n
Matei a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Un singur pas.<\/p>\n
Dar a fost suficient.<\/p>\n
Fabian a ridicat maceta, dar m\u00e2na i-a tremurat o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103. Nu se a\u0219tepta la asta. Nu era obi\u0219nuit ca cineva s\u0103-i stea \u00eempotriv\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu trebuie s\u0103 faci asta,\u201d a spus Matei, mai \u00eencet acum. \u201eLas-o s\u0103 plece. Nu e bun\u0103 de munc\u0103 aici, dac\u0103 tot o bate\u021bi \u00een fiecare zi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu.<\/p>\n
Nea Gherase a str\u00e2ns din din\u021bi. Pentru o clip\u0103, s-a uitat la Lucia\u2026 dar nu cu ur\u0103. Cu oboseal\u0103. Cu ceva ce sem\u0103na a renun\u021bare.<\/p>\n
\u201eIa-o,\u201d a morm\u0103it el p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103. \u201eIa-o \u0219i du-o. Oricum nu ne folose\u0219te la nimic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia nu a \u00een\u021beles imediat.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele parc\u0103 nu aveau sens.<\/p>\n
Fabian a cobor\u00e2t \u00eencet maceta, bomb\u0103nind, dar f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic. Parc\u0103 tot aerul de putere i se scursese din corp.<\/p>\n
\u201eHai,\u201d i-a spus Matei, \u00eentinz\u00e2ndu-i m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
Lucia a f\u0103cut un pas.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n
Fiecare pas era ca \u0219i cum ar fi ie\u0219it dintr-un vis ur\u00e2t. Sau poate intra, pentru prima dat\u0103, \u00eentr-o via\u021b\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a trecut de poart\u0103, a sim\u021bit ceva ce nu mai sim\u021bise niciodat\u0103: libertate.<\/p>\n
Drumul p\u00e2n\u0103 la ferm\u0103 a fost lung, dar lini\u0219tit. N-au vorbit mult. Nu era nevoie. Uneori, lini\u0219tea spune mai mult dec\u00e2t orice cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd au ajuns, Lucia a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
Nu era un palat. Nu era nimic extravagant. Dar era curat. \u00cengrijit. Cald. O cas\u0103 \u00een care cineva pusese suflet.<\/p>\n
\u201eAici o s\u0103 stai,\u201d i-a spus Matei simplu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen primele zile, Lucia se trezea speriat\u0103 la orice zgomot. \u00ce\u0219i cerea scuze din reflex, chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd nu f\u0103cea nimic gre\u0219it. \u00ce\u0219i \u021binea capul plecat, a\u0219tept\u00e2nd repro\u0219uri care nu mai veneau.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eencet-\u00eencet, ceva s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
Matei nu ridica vocea.<\/p>\n
Nu arunca lucruri.<\/p>\n
Nu o lovea.<\/p>\n
Ba chiar, \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, i-a pus \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 o can\u0103 de cafea \u0219i i-a spus:
\u201eIa, e fierbinte. S\u0103 nu te arzi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia aproape c\u0103 a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Zilele au devenit s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. A \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 de animale, s\u0103 munceasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103, s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se ascund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103, st\u00e2nd pe prisp\u0103, privind apusul, Matei a \u00eentrebat-o:
\u201eE\u0219ti bine aici?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Un z\u00e2mbet adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u201eDa,\u201d a spus ea. \u201ePentru prima dat\u0103\u2026 sunt bine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu doar c\u0103 sc\u0103pase.<\/p>\n
Se reg\u0103sise.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, din fata care nu avea voie nici s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103, devenise o femeie care \u00ee\u0219i putea alege propriul drum.<\/p>\n
Iar asta\u2026 a fost \u00eenceputul unei vie\u021bi noi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
