\u00cen mijlocul sufrageriei, Stan nu mai era Stan cel pe care \u00eel luasem de pe strad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Purta o c\u0103ma\u0219\u0103 alb\u0103 impecabil\u0103, c\u0103lcat\u0103 la dung\u0103, \u0219i st\u0103tea drept, de parc\u0103 toat\u0103 via\u021ba fusese obi\u0219nuit cu elegan\u021ba. \u00cen jurul lui, doi b\u0103rba\u021bi \u00een costume discutau \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103, iar pe mas\u0103 erau \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiate ni\u0219te dosare groase.<\/p>\n
Am clipit de c\u00e2teva ori, convins\u0103 c\u0103 nu v\u0103d bine.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe\u2026 ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 aici?\u201d am reu\u0219it s\u0103 spun.<\/p>\n
To\u021bi s-au \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n
Stan a z\u00e2mbit. Dar nu era z\u00e2mbetul acela timid, de om recunosc\u0103tor. Era calm, sigur pe el.<\/p>\n
\u201eBine ai venit acas\u0103\u201d, mi-a spus.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se \u00eenmoaie genunchii.<\/p>\n
\u201eCine sunt oamenii \u0103\u0219tia?\u201d<\/p>\n
Unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bi s-a apropiat \u0219i mi-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 ziua. Sunt avocatul domnului\u2026 Stan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am izbucnit:<\/p>\n
\u201eDomnului?! Despre ce vorbi\u021bi? El era pe strad\u0103 acum o lun\u0103!\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n
Stan a oftat u\u0219or \u0219i le-a f\u0103cut semn celorlal\u021bi s\u0103 ias\u0103. U\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00eencet, iar noi am r\u0103mas singuri.<\/p>\n
\u201eTrebuie s\u0103-\u021bi explic\u201d, a spus el.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat mecanic pe canapea.<\/p>\n
\u201eTe ascult.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat \u00een fa\u021ba mea, sprijinindu-\u0219i coatele pe genunchi.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu sunt ceea ce crezi.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eAsta e clar.\u201d<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u201eAm fost\u2026 foarte bogat. Am avut o firm\u0103 mare \u00een Bucure\u0219ti. Construc\u021bii. Mergea totul perfect\u2026 p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd am avut \u00eencredere \u00een cine nu trebuia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am t\u0103cut, ascult\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u201ePartenerul meu m-a tr\u0103dat. A falsificat acte, a f\u0103cut datorii \u00een numele firmei \u0219i a disp\u0103rut. \u00cen c\u00e2teva luni, am pierdut tot. Cas\u0103, bani, reputa\u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi s-a str\u00e2ns inima.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i ai ajuns pe strad\u0103\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
A dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru o vreme, da. Nu aveam pe nimeni. To\u021bi au disp\u0103rut c\u00e2nd au ap\u0103rut problemele.\u201d<\/p>\n
A ridicat privirea spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u201eApoi ai ap\u0103rut tu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u201eDar\u2026 oamenii \u0103\u0219tia? Avocatul?\u201d<\/p>\n
A inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen ultima lun\u0103, am reu\u0219it s\u0103 dau de urmele fostului partener. A fost prins. Iar azi\u2026 azi s-a \u00eencheiat procesul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i am c\u00e2\u0219tigat. Tot. Firma, banii\u2026 tot ce mi-a fost luat.\u201d<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Mintea mea nu reu\u0219ea s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 pasul.<\/p>\n
\u201eDeci\u2026 e\u0219ti\u2026 din nou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eDa\u201d, a spus simplu. \u201eDar nu asta e important.\u201d<\/p>\n
L-am privit, confuz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eAtunci ce?\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a ridicat \u0219i s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n
\u201eImportant e c\u0103 tu ai fost singura care m-a tratat ca pe un om. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u0219tii cine sunt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi dau lacrimile.<\/p>\n
\u201eEu\u2026 nu am f\u0103cut-o din bun\u0103tate. Am f\u0103cut-o ca s\u0103 le fac \u00een ciud\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bilor mei.\u201d<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu conteaz\u0103 de ce ai \u00eenceput. Conteaz\u0103 ce ai f\u0103cut dup\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mi-am amintit cum \u00eei cump\u0103rasem haine, cum \u00eel adusesem acas\u0103, cum \u00eel ap\u0103rasem \u00een fa\u021ba p\u0103rin\u021bilor.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i acum?\u201d am \u00eentrebat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
A scos din buzunar un plic.<\/p>\n
\u201eAcum \u00ee\u021bi dau asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
L-am deschis cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
Era un act.<\/p>\n
Pe numele meu.<\/p>\n
Un apartament \u00een Bucure\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Am ridicat privirea, \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu pot s\u0103 accept asta\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eBa da\u201d, a spus ferm. \u201eEste modul meu de a-\u021bi mul\u021bumi. Indiferent ce decizi mai departe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe s\u0103 decid?\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a uitat direct \u00een ochii mei.<\/p>\n
\u201eDac\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2nem c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi doar pe h\u00e2rtie\u2026 sau dac\u0103 \u00eencerc\u0103m pe bune.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Totul \u00eencepuse ca o r\u0103zbunare copil\u0103reasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar acum\u2026<\/p>\n
Nu mai era un joc.<\/p>\n
L-am privit lung.<\/p>\n
Nu mai vedeam omul de pe strad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vedeam un b\u0103rbat care c\u0103zuse, se ridicase \u0219i nu uitase cine l-a ajutat c\u00e2nd nu avea nimic.<\/p>\n
Am inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu \u0219tiu ce o s\u0103 fie\u201d, am spus sincer. \u201eDar \u0219tiu c\u0103 nu mai vreau s\u0103 fie o minciun\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Z\u00e2mbetul lui s-a luminat.<\/p>\n
\u201eAtunci e un \u00eenceput.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea, nu mai sim\u021beam c\u0103 fac ceva ca s\u0103 demonstrez ceva altcuiva.<\/p>\n
