\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103-\u021bi explic totul la telefon \u2014 continu\u0103 el. \u2014 M\u00e2ine, la nou\u0103, vino singur\u0103 la cafeneaua Umbra, \u00een centru. \u0218i ascult\u0103-m\u0103 bine\u2026 s\u0103 nu-i spui nimic Bianc\u0103i.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 glas.<\/p>\n
El a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00eenainte s\u0103 se \u00eenchid\u0103 apelul, a spus ceva care mi-a \u00eenghe\u021bat sufletul:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 afl\u0103 c\u0103 am vorbit cu tine\u2026 de data asta chiar o s\u0103 termine ce a \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea am stat pe marginea patului p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103, cu telefonul str\u00e2ns \u00een m\u00e2ini \u0219i ochii a\u021binti\u021bi spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Bianca nu a mai ie\u0219it din camer\u0103.<\/p>\n
Din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd \u00eei auzeam pa\u0219ii gr\u0103bi\u021bi. Alteori vorbea la telefon foarte \u00eencet, at\u00e2t de \u00eencet \u00eenc\u00e2t nu puteam \u00een\u021belege nimic.<\/p>\n
La ora opt f\u0103r\u0103 un sfert m-am \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00een lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Mi-am pus un palton gros \u0219i am cobor\u00e2t sc\u0103rile f\u0103r\u0103 zgomot.<\/p>\n
Dar c\u00e2nd am ajuns la u\u0219\u0103, Bianca era deja acolo.<\/p>\n
St\u0103tea \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie cu o cafea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 privea fix.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde merge\u021bi a\u0219a devreme? \u00eentreb\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se usuc\u0103 gura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een centru\u2026 am ni\u0219te treburi.<\/p>\n
Bianca a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Un z\u00e2mbet rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Singur\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
A l\u0103sat \u00eencet cana pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi grij\u0103, doamn\u0103 Elena. \u00cen ultima vreme vi se pare c\u0103 vede\u021bi \u0219i auzi\u021bi lucruri care nu exist\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vorbele ei m-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00eenghe\u021b.<\/p>\n
Dar n-am spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Am ie\u0219it din cas\u0103 \u0219i am urcat \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103 cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Tot drumul spre cafenea am avut impresia c\u0103 cineva m\u0103 urm\u0103re\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Cafeneaua Umbra era mic\u0103, ascuns\u0103 pe o str\u0103du\u021b\u0103 veche din Centrul Vechi al Bucure\u0219tiului.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am intrat, aproape c\u0103 nu mai puteam respira.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci l-am v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
\u00cen col\u021bul cel mai \u00eentunecat, cu gluga tras\u0103 pe cap \u0219i barba crescut\u0103, st\u0103tea Alex.<\/p>\n
Fiul meu.<\/p>\n
Am sc\u0103pat geanta din m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
El s-a ridicat imediat \u0219i m-a prins \u00eenainte s\u0103 cad.<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa \u00een care m-a atins, am izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E\u0219ti viu\u2026 Dumnezeule\u2026 e\u0219ti viu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u0218i el pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103, mam\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
L-am str\u00e2ns \u00een bra\u021be minute \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a uitat speriat peste um\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu avem mult timp.<\/p>\n
Ne-am a\u0219ezat.<\/p>\n
Alex era sl\u0103bit, tras la fa\u021b\u0103 \u0219i avea o cicatrice ur\u00e2t\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 t\u00e2mpl\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat? am \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
El \u0219i-a frecat m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Barca nu s-a scufundat accidental. Bianca a \u00eencercat s\u0103 m\u0103 omoare.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 mi se opre\u0219te inima.<\/p>\n
Mi-a povestit c\u0103, \u00eenainte cu c\u00e2teva luni de dispari\u021bie, descoperise c\u0103 Bianca avea datorii uria\u0219e la c\u0103m\u0103tari \u0219i o rela\u021bie cu un alt b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
\u00cen plus, \u00eencheiase pe ascuns o asigurare de via\u021b\u0103 de aproape un milion de lei pe numele lui.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea \u00een care au ie\u0219it cu barca, ea \u00eei pusese ceva \u00een b\u0103utur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alex \u00ee\u0219i amintea doar c\u0103 ame\u021bise brusc \u0219i c\u0103 Bianca vorbea la telefon cu cineva.<\/p>\n
Apoi o lovitur\u0103 puternic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i apa rece.<\/p>\n
A fost g\u0103sit aproape mort de un cargou turcesc, la zeci de kilometri de \u021b\u0103rm.<\/p>\n
F\u0103r\u0103 acte. F\u0103r\u0103 telefon.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd \u0219i-a revenit, a aflat de la televizor c\u0103 fusese declarat mort.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce n-ai venit acas\u0103? am pl\u00e2ns eu.<\/p>\n
Alex \u0219i-a plecat privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 omul cu care era Bianca avea leg\u0103turi periculoase. C\u00e2nd au aflat c\u0103 tr\u0103iesc, au \u00eencercat iar s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103. Am stat ascuns. Dar acum am dovezi.<\/p>\n
A scos un stick mic din buzunar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici sunt mesajele ei, \u00eenregistr\u0103rile \u0219i transferurile de bani.<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa aceea, telefonul lui a vibrat.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba i s-a albit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ne-a g\u0103sit.<\/p>\n
Am auzit atunci fr\u00e2ne puternice afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alex s-a ridicat instant.<\/p>\n
Prin geamul cafenelei am v\u0103zut-o pe Bianca cobor\u00e2nd dintr-o ma\u0219in\u0103 neagr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu era singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
L\u00e2ng\u0103 ea erau doi b\u0103rba\u021bi masivi.<\/p>\n
Bianca a privit direct spre geam.<\/p>\n
\u0218i c\u00e2nd l-a v\u0103zut pe Alex viu, fa\u021ba i s-a transformat \u00eentr-o masc\u0103 de groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alex mi-a prins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sun\u0103 la poli\u021bie. Acum!<\/p>\n
Totul s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat foarte repede.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rba\u021bii au intrat \u00een fug\u0103 \u00een cafenea, dar \u00een aceea\u0219i clip\u0103 mai multe ma\u0219ini de poli\u021bie au oprit pe strad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alex trimisese deja dovezile unui avocat cu o or\u0103 \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
Bianca a \u00eencercat s\u0103 fug\u0103.<\/p>\n
N-a apucat.<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bi\u0219tii au \u00eenc\u0103tu\u0219at-o chiar \u00een fa\u021ba cafenelei, \u00een timp ce ea urla \u0219i pl\u00e2ngea isteric.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, s-a uitat direct \u00een ochii mei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 am v\u0103zut adev\u0103rata ei fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu triste\u021be.<\/p>\n
Nu iubire.<\/p>\n
Doar ur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 tot scandalul, am r\u0103mas pe trotuar, tremur\u00e2nd, iar Alex m-a \u021binut str\u00e2ns \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
Soarele \u00eencepea s\u0103 r\u0103sar\u0103 peste cl\u0103dirile vechi ale ora\u0219ului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai acas\u0103, mam\u0103, mi-a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 doi ani, cuv\u00e2ntul \u201eacas\u0103\u201d nu m-a mai durut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
