P\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i organizarea nun\u021bii devenise un chin.<\/p>\n
Veronica controla tot \u2014 loca\u021bia, florile, meniul, chiar \u0219i rochia miresei.<\/p>\n
\u201eCrede-m\u0103, drag\u0103\u201d, spunea mereu. \u201e\u0218tiu eu ce se potrive\u0219te familiei noastre.\u201d<\/p>\n
Singurul lucru la care Andreea nu a renun\u021bat a fost lista invita\u021bilor.<\/p>\n
A insistat s\u0103 vin\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bii \u0219i fratele ei, Mihai, chiar dac\u0103 Veronica era convins\u0103 c\u0103 \u00eei vor face familia de r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rin\u021bii ei erau oameni simpli \u0219i muncitori, care o crescuser\u0103 cu bun\u0103tate \u0219i respect. \u00cen jurul familiei bogate a lui Alexandru, abia vorbeau.<\/p>\n
Mihai era diferit.<\/p>\n
Era singurul om de acolo care \u00eei \u0219tia adev\u0103ratul trecut.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea dinaintea nun\u021bii, a tras-o deoparte.<\/p>\n
\u201eAndreea, e\u0219ti sigur\u0103? Oamenii \u0103\u0219tia nu te merit\u0103. N-au nici cea mai mic\u0103 idee cine e\u0219ti cu adev\u0103rat\u2026 sau ce ai f\u0103cut pentru \u021bara asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eAsta \u0219i vreau\u201d, a \u0219optit ea. \u201eNu mai vreau s\u0103 fiu persoana aia. Vreau doar s\u0103 fiu Andreea. O mecanic\u0103 \u00eendr\u0103gostit\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar Mihai p\u0103rea \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eengrijorat.<\/p>\n
\u201eM-am interesat de compania lui Alexandru. Are du\u0219mani puternici. Oameni periculo\u0219i. Cred c\u0103 exist\u0103 \u0219ansa ca trecutul t\u0103u s\u0103 te ajung\u0103 din urm\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eencercat s\u0103 ignore totul.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 tot ce supravie\u021buise, singurul lucru pe care \u00eel voia era lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Credea sincer c\u0103 acea via\u021b\u0103 r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba nun\u021bii a venit senin\u0103 \u0219i perfect\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a trezit \u00een casa de oaspe\u021bi a vilei Marinescu, cu soarele intr\u00e2nd prin perdele. Pentru o clip\u0103, a uitat de tensiuni \u0219i r\u0103utate \u0219i s-a sim\u021bit pur \u0219i simplu fericit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi urma s\u0103 se c\u0103s\u0103toreasc\u0103 cu b\u0103rbatul pe care \u00eel iubea.<\/p>\n
Mama ei a ajutat-o s\u0103 \u00eembrace rochia de mireas\u0103 \u2014 o rochie alb\u0103 superb\u0103, despre care p\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i Veronica recunoscuse cu greu c\u0103 \u00eei venea perfect.<\/p>\n
Simpl\u0103. Elegant\u0103. Exact stilul Andreei.<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii mamei ei \u00een timp ce \u00eei \u00eencheia nasturii de la spate.<\/p>\n
\u201eAr\u0103\u021bi ca o prin\u021bes\u0103, iubita mea. Tat\u0103l t\u0103u \u0219i cu mine suntem at\u00e2t de m\u00e2ndri de tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andreea a z\u00e2mbit \u0219i \u0219i-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at mama str\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, totul p\u0103rea normal. Cald. A\u0219a cum visase.<\/p>\n
Din curte se auzeau l\u0103utarii c\u00e2nt\u00e2nd \u00eencet, invita\u021bii r\u00e2deau, iar mesele erau pline cu sarmale, friptur\u0103 \u0219i sticle de vin scump. Oamenii f\u0103ceau poze l\u00e2ng\u0103 aranjamentele uria\u0219e cu flori, iar Veronica se plimba printre invita\u021bi ca o regin\u0103 care \u00ee\u0219i inspecta palatul.<\/p>\n
Andreea a observat \u00eens\u0103 ceva ciudat.<\/p>\n
Mihai st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 poart\u0103 \u0219i privea atent strada.<\/p>\n
Prea atent.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd ochii lor s-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit, el i-a f\u0103cut discret semn s\u0103 stea calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Atunci a sim\u021bit acel fior rece pe \u0219ira spin\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
Acela\u0219i pe care \u00eel sim\u021bise cu ani \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cu pu\u021bin \u00eenainte de ceremonie, Alexandru a venit s\u0103 o vad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Purta un costum negru elegant \u0219i z\u00e2mbea ca un copil.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu-mi vine s\u0103 cred c\u0103 te c\u0103s\u0103tore\u0219ti cu mine\u201d, a spus el r\u00e2z\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Ea i-a atins obrazul.<\/p>\n
\u201eNici mie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, a vrut s\u0103-i spun\u0103 adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Tot adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
Dar era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Muzica s-a schimbat.<\/p>\n
Ceremonia \u00eencepuse.<\/p>\n
Andreea a p\u0103\u0219it spre altar cu tat\u0103l ei de bra\u021b. To\u021bi invita\u021bii s-au ridicat. Chiar \u0219i Veronica p\u0103rea impresionat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Alexandru nu-\u0219i putea lua ochii de la ea.<\/p>\n
Preotul abia \u00eencepuse s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd s-a auzit primul zgomot.<\/p>\n
Un sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it violent de ro\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u021bipete.<\/p>\n
Poarta vilei s-a deschis brusc \u0219i trei SUV-uri negre au intrat \u00een curte \u00een vitez\u0103.<\/p>\n
Invita\u021bii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se agite.<\/p>\n
Din ma\u0219ini au cobor\u00e2t b\u0103rba\u021bi masca\u021bi \u0219i \u00eenarma\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre ei a tras \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
Panic\u0103 total\u0103.<\/p>\n
Femeile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u021bipe. Oamenii s-au aruncat sub mese. Veronica aproape a le\u0219inat.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eencercat instinctiv s\u0103 o protejeze pe Andreea.<\/p>\n
Dar ea deja nu mai era mireasa speriat\u0103 de acum c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Privirea ei se schimbase complet.<\/p>\n
Rece.<\/p>\n
Calculat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Periculoas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eToat\u0103 lumea jos!\u201d a urlat unul dintre atacatori. \u201eUnde e Alexandru Marinescu?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Andreea l-a \u00eempins imediat pe Alexandru \u00een spatele altarului.<\/p>\n
\u201eStai jos \u0219i nu mi\u0219ca.\u201d<\/p>\n
El a r\u0103mas blocat.<\/p>\n
Tonul ei nu mai era deloc al femeii bl\u00e2nde pe care o cuno\u0219tea.<\/p>\n
Atacatorii s-au apropiat rapid.<\/p>\n
Unul dintre ei a ridicat arma spre Alexandru.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat.<\/p>\n
Andreea a prins un cu\u021bit de pe masa cu aperitive \u0219i l-a aruncat dintr-o singur\u0103 mi\u0219care.<\/p>\n
Cu\u021bitul s-a \u00eenfipt direct \u00een m\u00e2na b\u0103rbatului.<\/p>\n
Arma i-a c\u0103zut instant.<\/p>\n
Toat\u0103 lumea a r\u0103mas \u00eempietrit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar ea nu s-a oprit.<\/p>\n
S-a mi\u0219cat at\u00e2t de repede \u00eenc\u00e2t nimeni aproape nu a \u00een\u021beles ce vede.<\/p>\n
L-a lovit pe al doilea atacator cu cotul \u00een g\u00e2t, i-a r\u0103sucit bra\u021bul \u0219i i-a luat pistolul. Al treilea a \u00eencercat s\u0103 trag\u0103, dar Andreea deja \u00eel dobor\u00e2se la p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de dou\u0103 minute, cei trei b\u0103rba\u021bi erau \u00eentin\u0219i pe jos.<\/p>\n
Invita\u021bii priveau \u00eengrozi\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Veronica tremura.<\/p>\n
Bianca pl\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
Iar Alexandru se uita la viitoarea lui so\u021bie ca la o str\u0103in\u0103.<\/p>\n
Poli\u021bia a sosit c\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00eempreun\u0103 cu ni\u0219te ma\u0219ini negre f\u0103r\u0103 \u00eensemne.<\/p>\n
Din una dintre ele a cobor\u00e2t un b\u0103rbat \u00een uniform\u0103 militar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen momentul \u00een care a v\u0103zut-o pe Andreea, a dus m\u00e2na la frunte.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamn\u0103 maior.\u201d<\/p>\n
To\u021bi au \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
Alexandru a clipit confuz.<\/p>\n
\u201eMaior?\u201d<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a privit spre el.<\/p>\n
\u201eSo\u021bia dumneavoastr\u0103 a f\u0103cut parte din una dintre cele mai secrete unit\u0103\u021bi speciale ale armatei rom\u00e2ne. A salvat oameni din zone de r\u0103zboi, a participat la opera\u021biuni antiteroriste \u0219i a primit decora\u021bii despre care nici presa n-a aflat vreodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te total\u0103.<\/p>\n
Veronica p\u0103rea c\u0103 nu mai poate respira.<\/p>\n
Mihai \u0219i-a plecat capul \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Andreea \u00eenchise ochii o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
Exact asta \u00eencercase s\u0103 lase \u00een urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eDe ce n-ai spus nimic?\u201d a \u00eentrebat Alexandru \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Ea l-a privit direct.<\/p>\n
\u201ePentru c\u0103 eram obosit\u0103. Obosit\u0103 de arme. De moarte. De fric\u0103. Am vrut o via\u021b\u0103 simpl\u0103. Un atelier. Oameni normali. Pe tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
El s-a apropiat \u00eencet de ea.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i credeai c\u0103 te-a\u0219 fi iubit mai pu\u021bin?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea zi.<\/p>\n
Veronica s-a apropiat \u0219i ea, \u00eenc\u0103 \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eAndreea\u2026 eu\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andreea a z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu pentru ce am fost trebuia s\u0103 m\u0103 respecta\u021bi. Ci pentru cine sunt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu a mai spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, muzica a pornit din nou.<\/p>\n
Invita\u021bii s-au ridicat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Preotul, \u00eenc\u0103 palid la fa\u021b\u0103, \u0219i-a dres glasul.<\/p>\n
\u201eContinu\u0103m?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexandru a luat-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eMai mult ca oric\u00e2nd.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iar de data asta, c\u00e2nd Andreea a spus \u201eda\u201d, toat\u0103 lumea a \u00een\u021beles \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it cine era femeia pe care o judecaser\u0103 at\u00e2t de u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
Nu o profitoare.<\/p>\n
Nu o simpl\u0103 mecanic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci o femeie puternic\u0103, care renun\u021base la glorie \u0219i pericol pentru o via\u021b\u0103 lini\u0219tit\u0103 \u0219i pentru iubire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
