\u2014 Nu te gr\u0103bi s\u0103 pleci, a spus el, de parc\u0103 nimic nu s-ar fi \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
Ana a r\u0103mas cu m\u00e2na \u00een aer c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a str\u00e2ns c\u00e2rpa \u00een pumn. Era furioas\u0103, dar \u0219i derutat\u0103. Nu p\u0103rea genul de om care glume\u0219te sau care \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 profite.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103 ce vrei, a zis ea ap\u0103sat. Ie\u0219i\u021bi din camer\u0103 sau chem paza.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or, dar nu batjocoritor. Mai degrab\u0103 obosit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 voiam prostii, nu \u021bi-a\u0219 fi vorbit a\u0219a. Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 dou\u0103 minute. Dac\u0103 nu \u00ee\u021bi convine, pleci \u0219i nu ne-am cunoscut niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana a ezitat. Nu pentru c\u0103 ar fi avut \u00eencredere, ci pentru c\u0103 ceva \u00een tonul lui o f\u0103cea s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 nu minte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Un minut, a spus ea scurt.<\/p>\n
El a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am nevoie de ajutorul t\u0103u. Oficial, eu nu mai sunt cazat aici. Dar trebuie s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00een camer\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 disear\u0103. E o chestiune\u2026 complicat\u0103. Dac\u0103 apare cineva, vreau s\u0103 spui c\u0103 ai f\u0103cut deja cur\u0103\u021benie \u0219i c\u0103 totul e \u00een regul\u0103. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Ana a clipit des, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i de ce a\u0219 face asta?<\/p>\n
El s-a apropiat \u00eencet de chiuvet\u0103, a scos dintr-un portofel gros c\u00e2teva bancnote.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru asta.<\/p>\n
Ana a v\u0103zut suma \u0219i a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 aer. Era mai mult dec\u00e2t c\u00e2\u0219tiga \u00eentr-o lun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar ceva nu se lega.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce nu pleca\u021bi pur \u0219i simplu?<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a oftat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 dac\u0103 plec acum, pierd ceva mult mai important dec\u00e2t banii \u0103\u0219tia.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea s-a l\u0103sat \u00eentre ei.<\/p>\n
Ana s-a g\u00e2ndit la chiria restant\u0103, la mama ei bolnav\u0103, la facturile care se adunau. Banii \u0103\u0219tia ar fi rezolvat totul, cel pu\u021bin pentru o vreme.<\/p>\n
Dar riscul?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 m\u0103 bag \u00een asta \u0219i iese r\u0103u\u2026 eu r\u0103spund, a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu va ie\u0219i r\u0103u, a r\u0103spuns el ferm. \u00ce\u021bi dau cuv\u00e2ntul meu.<\/p>\n
Ana a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cuv\u00e2ntul dumneavoastr\u0103 nu pl\u0103te\u0219te amenzile.<\/p>\n
El a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci ia banii \u0219i consider\u0103 c\u0103 e un risc calculat.<\/p>\n
Ana l-a privit lung. Apoi a \u00eentins m\u00e2na \u0219i a luat bancnotele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doar at\u00e2t, a spus ea. Nu vreau alte pove\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u2014 At\u00e2t, a confirmat el.<\/p>\n
Orele au trecut greu. De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd pa\u0219ii se auzeau pe hol, inima Anei b\u0103tea mai tare. A evitat privirile colegelor, a r\u0103spuns scurt \u0219i a \u021binut totul sub control.<\/p>\n
La un moment dat, \u0219eful de etaj a venit s\u0103 verifice camerele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 714 e gata? a \u00eentrebat el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, am terminat mai devreme, a r\u0103spuns Ana, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
El a notat ceva \u0219i a plecat.<\/p>\n
Abia atunci a sim\u021bit c\u0103 poate respira.<\/p>\n
Seara, c\u00e2nd tura s-a terminat, Ana s-a \u00eentors \u00een camer\u0103. B\u0103rbatul era \u00eembr\u0103cat, preg\u0103tit s\u0103 plece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai fost corect\u0103, a spus el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
El i-a \u00eentins \u00eenc\u0103 un plic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e nevoie, a spus ea imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e pentru tine. E pentru mama ta. \u0218tiu c\u0103 e bolnav\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ana a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De unde \u0219ti\u021bi?<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e\u0219ti singura care observ\u0103 lucruri.<\/p>\n
A l\u0103sat plicul pe mas\u0103 \u0219i s-a \u00eendreptat spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu o s\u0103 ne mai vedem, a spus el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a sper, a r\u0103spuns Ana, dar f\u0103r\u0103 r\u0103utate.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce a plecat, Ana a deschis plicul. \u00cen\u0103untru era o sum\u0103 \u0219i mai mare\u2026 \u0219i o carte de vizit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pe ea scria simplu: \u201eConsultant financiar\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acel moment, Ana a \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Nu fusese vorba doar de o camer\u0103. Fusese un test.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, a sim\u021bit c\u0103 via\u021ba ei se poate schimba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
