\u00cen momentul \u0103la, Andrei a ridicat \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it ochii din meniu. Era alb la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Se uita c\u00e2nd la mine, c\u00e2nd la mama lui, ca un copil prins c\u0103 a spart geamul vecinului.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 gata\u2026 hai s\u0103 termin\u0103m\u2026<\/p>\n
Dar doamna Mariana nu mai putea s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu habar n-ai c\u00e2t am f\u0103cut eu pentru b\u0103iatul \u0103sta! Eu l-am crescut singur\u0103! Eu l-am \u021binut \u00een facultate! Eu i-am f\u0103cut m\u00e2ncare, eu i-am sp\u0103lat, eu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact, am \u00eentrerupt-o calm. Asta e problema.<\/p>\n
Ea a r\u0103mas cu gura \u00eentredeschis\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Un b\u0103rbat de treizeci \u0219i cinci de ani nu ar trebui s\u0103 aib\u0103 nevoie ca mama lui s\u0103-i preg\u0103teasc\u0103 hainele pentru serviciu.<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a afundat \u0219i mai tare \u00een scaun.<\/p>\n
L-am privit direct.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii s\u0103 g\u0103te\u0219ti?<\/p>\n
A clipit des.<\/p>\n
\u2014 P\u0103i\u2026 nu prea\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 speli?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ma\u0219ina spal\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 pl\u0103te\u0219ti o factur\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o \u00eentrebi pe mama ta?<\/p>\n
N-a mai r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
La masa din spate cineva a r\u00e2s \u00eenfundat.<\/p>\n
Doamna Mariana s-a ridicat imediat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nesim\u021bito! Tu vii aici \u0219i ne jigne\u0219ti?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, doamn\u0103. Dumneavoastr\u0103 a\u021bi \u00eenceput. Eu doar continui discu\u021bia \u00een acela\u0219i stil.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, femeia p\u0103rea c\u0103 nu mai are controlul.<\/p>\n
\u0218i cred c\u0103 asta o durea cel mai tare.<\/p>\n
Chelnerul a venit timid cu cafelele. Le-a pus repede pe mas\u0103 \u0219i aproape a fugit.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u00eenc\u0103 nu spunea nimic.<\/p>\n
Asta m-a lovit mai r\u0103u dec\u00e2t toate replicile mamei lui.<\/p>\n
Faptul c\u0103 st\u0103tea acolo\u2026 \u0219i accepta.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu.<\/p>\n
Problema nu era femeia.<\/p>\n
Problema era el.<\/p>\n
Ea doar ocupase locul pe care el nu avusese niciodat\u0103 curajul s\u0103-l ia \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis carne\u021belul \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei, pot s\u0103 te \u00eentreb ceva sincer?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu voiai o iubit\u0103 sau \u00eenc\u0103 o femeie care s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 de tine?<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Doamna Mariana a \u00eencercat imediat s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103 \u00een locul lui:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Normal c\u0103\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pe dumneavoastr\u0103 v-am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een toat\u0103 seara, femeia a t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u0219i-a frecat m\u00e2inile transpirate \u0219i a oftat lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 nu \u0219tiu\u2026<\/p>\n
\u0218i exact atunci mi s-a f\u0103cut mil\u0103 de el.<\/p>\n
Nu mil\u0103 romantic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mil\u0103 adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
De om crescut f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fie l\u0103sat vreodat\u0103 s\u0103 devin\u0103 adult.<\/p>\n
Doamna Mariana \u00eel sufoca \u0219i nici m\u0103car nu realiza.<\/p>\n
Sau poate realiza prea bine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 atent, i-am spus lini\u0219tit\u0103. O rela\u021bie nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 te mute o femeie din grija mamei \u00een grija nevestei. \u00censeamn\u0103 parteneriat. Responsabilitate. Alegere.<\/p>\n
El se uita la mine de parc\u0103 nimeni nu-i vorbise a\u0219a vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i mai \u00eenseamn\u0103 ceva. S\u0103 ai curajul s\u0103 pui limite.<\/p>\n
Femeia a izbucnit iar:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu sunt mama lui!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Exact. Mama. Nu so\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Parc\u0103 a c\u0103zut o bomb\u0103 \u00een cafenea.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 femei de la masa din col\u021b aproape c\u0103 \u0219i-au scuipat cafeaua.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eenchis ochii c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi, \u00eencet, foarte \u00eencet, s-a ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n
M-am preg\u0103tit s\u0103 plec.<\/p>\n
Credeam c\u0103 o s\u0103 \u021bipe la mine.<\/p>\n
Sau c\u0103 o s\u0103 plece dup\u0103 mama lui.<\/p>\n
Dar el s-a uitat direct la ea \u0219i a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 pleac\u0103 acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Femeia a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Te rog. Pleac\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu-mi venea s\u0103 cred nici mie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei, tu \u00ee\u021bi dai seama ce faci?!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremura, dar continua.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Toat\u0103 via\u021ba ai decis pentru mine. Cu cine ies. Unde merg. Ce fac. Ce m\u0103n\u00e2nc. Cum tr\u0103iesc.<\/p>\n
Doamna Mariana aproape c\u0103 pl\u00e2ngea de furie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am f\u0103cut totul pentru tine!<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu\u2026 \u0219i \u00ee\u021bi mul\u021bumesc. Dar nu mai am doisprezece ani.<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Genul \u0103la de lini\u0219te care apas\u0103 pe piept.<\/p>\n
Femeia \u0219i-a luat geanta brusc.<\/p>\n
M-a privit cu ur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu l-ai \u00eentors \u00eempotriva mea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Eu doar am spus cu voce tare ce evita\u021bi am\u00e2ndoi de ani de zile.<\/p>\n
Ea a plecat f\u0103r\u0103 alt cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
Tocurile \u00eei loveau podeaua cafenelei de parc\u0103 voiau s\u0103 sparg\u0103 gresia.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce u\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis, Andrei s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eencet la loc.<\/p>\n
P\u0103rea epuizat.<\/p>\n
De parc\u0103 \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nise zece ani \u00eentr-o or\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cencet la \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 aia tot mai tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu-mi vine s\u0103 cred ce tocmai s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat\u2026<\/p>\n
\u0218i eu am r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 tensiunea disp\u0103ruse brusc.<\/p>\n
Chelnerul s-a apropiat prudent.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mai dori\u021bi ceva?<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a uitat la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. Nota. \u0218i\u2026 \u00eenc\u0103 o cafea. Dar de data asta f\u0103r\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een seara aia, p\u0103rea \u00eentr-adev\u0103r adult.<\/p>\n
N-am r\u0103mas \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rul e c\u0103 unele lec\u021bii vin prea t\u00e2rziu pentru iubire.<\/p>\n
Dar peste aproape un an l-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor \u00eentr-un supermarket din Pite\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Era schimbat complet.<\/p>\n
Sl\u0103bise.<\/p>\n
Avea alt\u0103 lumin\u0103 \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cel mai important, \u00eempingea singur un c\u0103rucior plin cu cump\u0103r\u0103turi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am mutat, mi-a spus z\u00e2mbind. Singur.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i? Supravie\u021buie\u0219ti f\u0103r\u0103 chiftele la abur la cinci diminea\u021ba?<\/p>\n
A r\u00e2s tare.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cenc\u0103 sunt arse uneori\u2026 dar m\u0103 descurc.<\/p>\n
Atunci am \u0219tiut c\u0103 seara aia din cafenea nu fusese doar un scandal.<\/p>\n
Fusese \u00eenceputul vie\u021bii lui adev\u0103rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
