Ne-am schimbat repede. Ea \u0219i-a pus hanoracul meu gri de spital. Eu hainele ei, pantofii ei uza\u021bi, buletinul ei. C\u00e2nd asistenta a deschis u\u0219a, mi-a z\u00e2mbit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 b\u0103nuiasc\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pleca\u021bi deja, doamna Popescu?<\/p>\n
Am cobor\u00e2t privirea \u0219i am imitat vocea timid\u0103 a Larisei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd poarta metalic\u0103 s-a \u00eenchis \u00een urma mea \u0219i soarele mi-a lovit fa\u021ba, am sim\u021bit c\u0103-mi ard pl\u0103m\u00e2nii. Zece ani. Zece ani respir\u00e2nd aer \u00eemprumutat. Am mers p\u00e2n\u0103 la trotuar f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 uit \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u021ai s-a terminat timpul, Robert Popescu, am murmurat.<\/p>\n
Autobuzul spre cartierul Berceni era aproape gol. M-am a\u0219ezat l\u00e2ng\u0103 geam \u0219i am privit Bucure\u0219tiul ca pe un om care se \u00eentoarce din mor\u021bi. Totul p\u0103rea mai mic dec\u00e2t \u00eemi aminteam. Blocurile cenu\u0219ii. Reclamele rupte. Oamenii gr\u0103bi\u021bi cu saco\u0219e \u00een m\u00e2ini \u0219i oboseal\u0103 pe chip.<\/p>\n
Dar eu nu mai eram fata speriat\u0103 care intrase \u00een spital la \u0219aisprezece ani.<\/p>\n
M\u00e2inile mele nu mai tremurau.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba blocului Larisei, era deja sear\u0103. Liftul mirosea a fum \u0219i varz\u0103 fiart\u0103. Exact genul de bloc \u00een care vecinii aud tot \u0219i nu intervin niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am deschis u\u0219a cu cheia ei.<\/p>\n
Primul lucru pe care l-am auzit a fost vocea unui b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it ai venit, proasto.<\/p>\n
Robert st\u0103tea \u00eentins pe canapea, cu o bere \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i ochii injecta\u021bi. Avea tricoul p\u0103tat \u0219i privirea aia de om care se crede st\u0103p\u00e2n peste tot ce respir\u0103 \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-a privit doar o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu \u0219i-a dat seama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce dracu\u2019 ai f\u0103cut at\u00e2t? a m\u00e2r\u00e2it. \u0218i unde-i m\u00e2ncarea?<\/p>\n
Mi-am l\u0103sat geanta jos f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103spund.<\/p>\n
\u00cen camera din cap\u0103t am z\u0103rit o feti\u021b\u0103 mic\u0103, ascuns\u0103 dup\u0103 u\u0219\u0103. Sara. Avea ochii mari \u0219i speria\u021bi. C\u00e2nd m-a v\u0103zut, s-a lipit de perete.<\/p>\n
Frica aia din ochii unui copil\u2026<\/p>\n
Aia m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 Larisa nu exagerase cu nimic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te-am \u00eentrebat ceva! a urlat Robert ridic\u00e2ndu-se.<\/p>\n
S-a apropiat rapid \u0219i m-a apucat brutal de bra\u021b.<\/p>\n
Gre\u0219eala lui.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103 i-am r\u0103sucit m\u00e2na \u0219i l-am tr\u00e2ntit cu fa\u021ba de mas\u0103. Berea s-a v\u0103rsat pe covor.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103mas blocat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce naiba\u2026?<\/p>\n
Mi-am apropiat gura de urechea lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 bine. De azi \u00eenainte, lucrurile se schimb\u0103.<\/p>\n
A \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, dar i-am ap\u0103sat um\u0103rul at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t a scos un \u021bip\u0103t scurt.<\/p>\n
Sara privea din camer\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Robert s-a smucit \u0219i s-a \u00eentors spre mine cu furie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai \u00eennebunit?!<\/p>\n
Mi-a venit s\u0103 r\u00e2d.<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 ar fi \u0219tiut adev\u0103rul\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile am jucat rolul Larisei perfect. Vorbeam pu\u021bin. Mergeam cu capul plecat. G\u0103team. Cur\u0103\u021bam. Dar de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd Robert \u00eencerca s\u0103 ridice m\u00e2na, \u00eel opream.<\/p>\n
Prima dat\u0103 i-am prins pumnul.<\/p>\n
A doua oar\u0103 l-am lovit \u00een stomac at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t a vomitat \u00een baie.<\/p>\n
A treia oar\u0103 nici n-a mai \u00eencercat.<\/p>\n
Dar adev\u0103rata problem\u0103 nu era doar el.<\/p>\n
Mama lui, Mariana, era \u0219i mai rea. O femeie uscat\u0103, cu ochi reci \u0219i limb\u0103 otr\u0103vit\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Femeia trebuie \u021binut\u0103 scurt, spunea mereu.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103 a \u00eencercat s\u0103 o sperie pe Sara pentru c\u0103 v\u0103rsase lapte pe mas\u0103. A ridicat palma spre copil.<\/p>\n
I-am prins m\u00e2na \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 nu o atingi.<\/p>\n
Femeia a \u00eenlemnit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum \u00eendr\u0103zne\u0219ti s\u0103 vorbe\u0219ti a\u0219a cu mine?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum \u00eendr\u0103zne\u0219ti tu s\u0103 ridici m\u00e2na la un copil?<\/p>\n
Din ziua aia, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se team\u0103 de mine.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pe bun\u0103 dreptate.<\/p>\n
Dar Robert nu putea accepta c\u0103 pierde controlul. \u00centr-o noapte a venit beat acas\u0103 cu \u00eenc\u0103 doi prieteni. R\u00e2deau tare \u0219i miroseau a alcool ieftin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Azi \u00ee\u021bi ar\u0103t eu cine-i b\u0103rbat \u00een cas\u0103, a spus \u00eemping\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Prietenii lui au r\u0103mas pe hol, uit\u00e2ndu-se.<\/p>\n
Robert a ridicat cureaua.<\/p>\n
Exact cum f\u0103cuse de sute de ori cu Larisa.<\/p>\n
Doar c\u0103 eu nu eram Larisa.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a dat s\u0103 loveasc\u0103, i-am prins cureaua din zbor \u0219i l-am tras spre mine at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t s-a izbit cu capul de frigider.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre prietenii lui a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 B\u0103i\u2026 asta-i nebun\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
Nu.<\/p>\n
Eram doar s\u0103tul\u0103.<\/p>\n
Robert s-a repezit iar spre mine, dar de data asta l-am pus la p\u0103m\u00e2nt \u00een c\u00e2teva secunde. I-am r\u0103sucit bra\u021bul la spate p\u00e2n\u0103 a \u00eenceput s\u0103 urle.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te rog! Te rog!<\/p>\n
Sara ap\u0103ruse pe hol. Tremura.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat direct \u00een ochii lui Robert.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uit\u0103-te bine la fiica ta. Ea te vede acum a\u0219a cum e\u0219ti cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Omul a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu de remu\u0219care.<\/p>\n
De fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103 am chemat poli\u021bia. \u0218i nu singur\u0103. Vecinii care ani \u00eentregi \u201en-au auzit nimic\u201d au \u00eenceput brusc s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 dup\u0103 ce l-au v\u0103zut \u00eentins pe jos \u0219i url\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Au ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103 datorii, scandaluri, pariuri, pl\u00e2ngeri vechi \u0219i alte femei b\u0103tute.<\/p>\n
Tot imperiul lui de groaz\u0103 s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it \u00eentr-o noapte.<\/p>\n
Larisa a ie\u0219it din spital trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a intrat \u00een apartament, Sara a fugit direct \u00een bra\u021bele ei r\u00e2z\u00e2nd pentru prima dat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103.<\/p>\n
Larisa a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i eu aproape la fel.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S-a terminat? a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n
M-am uitat pe geam. Afar\u0103 r\u0103s\u0103rea soarele peste blocurile gri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, am spus \u00eencet. Acum chiar s-a terminat.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, casa aia nu mai mirosea a fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mirosea a cafea cald\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenceput nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
