C\u00e2nd a venit desertul, avea chiar \u0219i o artificie mic\u0103 deasupra, p\u00e2lp\u00e2ind ca un foc de artificii \u00een miniatur\u0103. Julia a privit-o \u00een lini\u0219te, apoi a stins-o u\u0219or, ca \u0219i cum ar fi \u00eenchis \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it un capitol groaznic.<\/p>\n
N-am vorbit despre perfuzii.<\/p>\n
N-am vorbit despre nop\u021bi nedormite.<\/p>\n
N-am vorbit despre fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am vorbit despre muzic\u0103. Despre anii \u201980. Despre melodii care te fac s\u0103 z\u00e2mbe\u0219ti chiar \u0219i c\u00e2nd nu vrei. Ne-am contrazis r\u00e2z\u00e2nd despre ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 \u201epizza adev\u0103rat\u0103\u201d. Ea spunea una, eu alta, \u0219i la un moment dat r\u00e2deam at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t chelneri\u021ba s-a apropiat pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se c\u0103 ne umple paharele doar ca s\u0103 vad\u0103 ce e at\u00e2t de amuzant.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 ore mai t\u00e2rziu era \u00eenc\u0103 obosit\u0103 \u2014 normal.<\/p>\n
Dar nu mai ar\u0103ta ca o fantom\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ar\u0103ta vie.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd am dus-o \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it acas\u0103, a scos din po\u0219et\u0103 o bancnot\u0103 mototolit\u0103 de o sut\u0103 de lei.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u201d, am spus, \u00eemping\u00e2ndu-i m\u00e2na u\u0219or. \u201eP\u0103stra\u021bi-i. M\u00e2ine cump\u0103ra\u021bi-v\u0103 ceva frumos. \u0218i\u2026 \u00eentr-o zi, c\u00e2nd o s\u0103 fi\u021bi preg\u0103tit\u0103\u2026 lua\u021bi-v\u0103 alt c\u00e2ine. Unul care r\u0103m\u00e2ne.\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eenghi\u021bit greu, apoi s-a aplecat \u0219i mi-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2na. Avea o str\u00e2ngere surprinz\u0103tor de puternic\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMul\u021bumesc\u201d, a \u0219optit. \u201ePentru c\u0103 a\u021bi fost\u2026 familia pe care n-am avut-o azi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am plecat mai departe cu semnul \u201eliber\u201d aprins ca \u00eentotdeauna. Dar, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu m\u0103 mai sim\u021beam gol.<\/p>\n
Tr\u0103im \u00eentr-o lume \u00een care unii oameni pleac\u0103 imediat ce via\u021ba devine grea. \u00cei spun stres. Fric\u0103. \u201eSe salveaz\u0103 pe ei \u00een\u0219i\u0219i.\u201d Poate c\u0103 au nevoie de cuvintele astea ca s\u0103 poat\u0103 dormi noaptea.<\/p>\n
Dar pentru fiecare om care dispare, undeva exist\u0103 un str\u0103in dispus s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 spun\u0103: nu azi. Nu singur.<\/p>\n
Uneori familia nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
Uneori e doar omul care st\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine \u0219i refuz\u0103 s\u0103 te lase s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103 singur.<\/p>\n
Cei mai bine cheltui\u021bi cincizeci de lei din via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
PARTEA 2 \ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udcac<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Mihai aproape c\u0103 uitase de Julia.<\/p>\n
Noaptea se terminase t\u00e2rziu, iar oboseala \u00eei ap\u0103sa greu pe ochi. \u00ce\u0219i f\u0103cuse cafeaua \u0219i st\u0103tea pe balconul mic al apartamentului lui din Bucure\u0219ti, privind oamenii gr\u0103bi\u021bi spre munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar exact c\u00e2nd a pus cana jos, telefonul a vibrat.<\/p>\n
Num\u0103r necunoscut.<\/p>\n
A r\u0103spuns f\u0103r\u0103 chef.<\/p>\n
\u201eAlo?\u201d<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva secunde nu s-a auzit nimic.<\/p>\n
Apoi vocea ei.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103\u2026 sunt Julia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a z\u00e2mbit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vrea.<\/p>\n
\u201eHei. Cum v\u0103 sim\u021bi\u021bi?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eObosit\u0103\u201d, a spus ea sincer. \u201eDar\u2026 altfel.\u201d<\/p>\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
\u201eM-am g\u00e2ndit toat\u0103 noaptea\u201d, a continuat. \u201e\u0218i mi-am dat seama c\u0103 ieri a fost prima dat\u0103 \u00een multe luni c\u00e2nd n-am sim\u021bit fric\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele ei l-au lovit direct \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u0219i el \u0219tia perfect cum e s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti cu golul \u0103la.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 moartea so\u021biei lui, casa devenise un muzeu al t\u0103cerii. Cana ei \u00eenc\u0103 st\u0103tea \u00een dulap. Puloverul ei preferat \u00eenc\u0103 era ag\u0103\u021bat \u00een hol.<\/p>\n
Uneori deschidea televizorul doar ca s\u0103 nu aud\u0103 lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
\u201eVre\u021bi s\u0103 v\u0103 spun ceva penibil?\u201d a \u00eentrebat Julia \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u201eSigur.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eM-am uitat la cupa aia de \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103 \u0219i aproape c\u0103 m-am speriat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 mi-am dat seama c\u0103 uitasem cum arat\u0103 o zi normal\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
R\u00e2sul lui s-a stins \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u021belegea prea bine.<\/p>\n
Din ziua aceea au \u00eenceput s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 aproape zilnic.<\/p>\n
La \u00eenceput c\u00e2teva minute.<\/p>\n
Apoi ore \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
Despre orice.<\/p>\n
Despre filme proaste.<\/p>\n
Despre vecini enervan\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Despre cum oamenii spun mereu \u201efii puternic\u201d, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 c\u00e2t de obositor e s\u0103 fii puternic tot timpul.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Julia l-a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n
\u201e\u021ai-e dor de ea \u00een fiecare zi?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai s-a uitat pe geam mult timp \u00eenainte s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDa. Dar nu m\u0103 mai doare la fel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCum ai f\u0103cut?\u201d<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit trist.<\/p>\n
\u201eN-am f\u0103cut. Doar am continuat s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd durerea a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 stea mai lini\u0219tit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julia a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00eencet la telefon.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani de zile, Mihai n-a mai sim\u021bit c\u0103 vorbe\u0219te cu un str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
Prim\u0103vara a venit \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Julia a \u00eenceput s\u0103 ias\u0103 din cas\u0103 mai des.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a cump\u0103rat haine colorate.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a l\u0103sat p\u0103rul s\u0103 creasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
A \u00eenceput chiar s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 din nou.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, Mihai a dus-o \u00eentr-un t\u00e2rg de adop\u021bii pentru animale.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu sunt preg\u0103tit\u0103\u201d, a spus ea imediat.<\/p>\n
\u201eNici eu nu eram preg\u0103tit c\u00e2nd mi-am pierdut so\u021bia\u201d, a r\u0103spuns el. \u201eDar uneori inima \u00eencepe s\u0103 se vindece \u00eenainte s\u0103-\u021bi dai tu seama.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julia s-a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba unui c\u00e2ine mic, maro, cu o ureche ridicat\u0103 \u0219i una c\u0103zut\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u0103\u021belul s-a apropiat de ea \u0219i i-a pus l\u0103bu\u021bele pe genunchi.<\/p>\n
Asta a fost.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, animalul dormea deja \u00een patul ei.<\/p>\n
L-a numit Bruno.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 pare genul care nu pleac\u0103 niciodat\u0103\u201d, i-a spus ea lui Mihai r\u00e2z\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Vara, Mihai a invitat-o la mare.<\/p>\n
Julia a ezitat.<\/p>\n
\u201eN-am mai fost nic\u0103ieri de ani de zile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eAtunci e timpul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Au mers la Constan\u021ba \u00eentr-o ma\u0219in\u0103 veche care f\u0103cea zgomot la fiecare groap\u0103. Au m\u00e2ncat hamsii pe falez\u0103 \u0219i au stat noaptea pe plaj\u0103 ascult\u00e2nd valurile.<\/p>\n
La un moment dat, Julia s-a uitat spre el \u0219i a spus:<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tii ce e ciudat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCe?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eCancerul aproape c\u0103 mi-a distrus via\u021ba\u2026 dar cumva m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lnesc oamenii potrivi\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai n-a r\u0103spuns imediat.<\/p>\n
Doar a privit-o.<\/p>\n
Femeia care urcase \u00een ma\u0219ina lui cu luni \u00een urm\u0103 p\u0103rea disp\u0103rut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen locul ei era cineva viu.<\/p>\n
Cineva care \u00eenv\u0103\u021base din nou s\u0103 spere.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103 t\u00e2rzie de august, st\u0103teau pe balconul Juliei, iar Bruno dormea \u00eentre ei.<\/p>\n
Ora\u0219ul era lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
Julia \u0219i-a sprijinit capul de um\u0103rul lui.<\/p>\n
\u201eCrezi c\u0103 oamenii apar \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103 cu un motiv?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mihai a privit cerul c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi a r\u0103spuns \u00eencet:<\/p>\n
\u201eCred c\u0103 uneori Dumnezeu vede c\u0103 doi oameni sunt prea obosi\u021bi s\u0103 mearg\u0103 singuri\u2026 \u0219i \u00eei pune \u00een aceea\u0219i ma\u0219in\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
