Radu a intrat \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie frec\u00e2ndu-\u0219i ochii, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 observe c\u0103 Mariana st\u0103tea la mas\u0103 de aproape dou\u0103 ore.<\/p>\n
\u2014N-ai dormit? \u00eentreb\u0103 el, deschiz\u00e2nd espressorul.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu prea.<\/p>\n
El a dat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218i eu sunt terminat. Azi am o zi infernal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mariana l-a privit atent. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, nu i-a mai venit s\u0103-l lini\u0219teasc\u0103. Nu l-a mai \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 vrea micul dejun. Nu i-a mai spus s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 \u00een trafic.<\/p>\n
Doar l-a privit.<\/p>\n
\u2014Radu\u2026 tu chiar vrei s\u0103 plec?<\/p>\n
\u00centrebarea l-a prins nepreg\u0103tit o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103. Dar \u0219i-a revenit repede.<\/p>\n
\u2014Iar dramatizezi. \u021ai-am spus doar c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 contribui \u0219i tu.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218i dac\u0103 nu pot?<\/p>\n
El \u0219i-a luat cana de cafea.<\/p>\n
\u2014Atunci g\u0103se\u0219ti o solu\u021bie. Suntem adul\u021bi.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Nicio urm\u0103 de vinov\u0103\u021bie. Nicio ezitare.<\/p>\n
Mariana a sim\u021bit ceva rece \u0219i limpede \u00een interior. Nu mai era furie. Era claritate.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce copiii au plecat la \u0219coal\u0103, a sunat-o pe sora ei, Alina.<\/p>\n
\u2014Po\u021bi s\u0103 vii pu\u021bin pe la mine?<\/p>\n
Tonul ei a fost suficient. \u00cen mai pu\u021bin de o or\u0103, Alina era \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
Mariana i-a ar\u0103tat tabelul.<\/p>\n
Alina a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
\u2014Doamne\u2026 omul \u0103sta chiar \u0219i-a f\u0103cut planul complet.<\/p>\n
\u2014Cred c\u0103 are pe altcineva.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u201eCred\u201d?<\/p>\n
Mariana i-a \u00eentors laptopul spre ea. Alina a citit numele \u0219i adresa.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00cen acela\u0219i bloc?!<\/p>\n
Mariana a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu \u0219tiu de c\u00e2t timp.<\/p>\n
Alina a \u00eenchis laptopul \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218i ce vrei s\u0103 faci?<\/p>\n
Mariana a privit spre geamul buc\u0103t\u0103riei. Afar\u0103 \u00eencepea s\u0103 plou\u0103 m\u0103runt.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 mai rog de nimeni s\u0103 m\u0103 lase \u00een propria cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, nu i-a spus nimic lui Radu. Dar a \u00eenceput s\u0103 fac\u0103 exact ce f\u0103cea \u00eenainte s\u0103 devin\u0103 doar \u201eso\u021bia care nu produce bani\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a actualizat CV-ul. A sunat o fost\u0103 coleg\u0103 de la biroul de contabilitate unde lucrase. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 caute chirii. A str\u00e2ns actele copiilor, facturile, documentele apartamentului.<\/p>\n
\u0218i a observat ceva ciudat.<\/p>\n
Cu c\u00e2t ea devenea mai lini\u0219tit\u0103, cu at\u00e2t Radu devenea mai nelini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, el a intrat \u00een cas\u0103 \u0219i a g\u0103sit-o lucr\u00e2nd pe laptop.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ce faci?<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00cemi caut serviciu.<\/p>\n
\u2014A\u0219a, dintr-odat\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu asta voiai?<\/p>\n
Radu a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu trebuie s\u0103 reac\u021bionezi a\u0219a exagerat.<\/p>\n
Mariana aproape c\u0103 a z\u00e2mbit. Exact omul care planificase s\u0103 o scoat\u0103 din cas\u0103 \u00eei spunea acum c\u0103 exagereaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, a primit un telefon.<\/p>\n
Era angajat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu era un salariu uria\u0219, dar era suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 respire din nou.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce copiii au adormit, Mariana a pus pe mas\u0103 un dosar.<\/p>\n
Radu s-a uitat nedumerit.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ce-i asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014Am g\u0103sit chirie.<\/p>\n
El a ridicat brusc privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014Adic\u0103 plec.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe luni, masca lui s-a fisurat.<\/p>\n
\u2014Mariana, stai pu\u021bin\u2026 despre ce vorbe\u0219ti?<\/p>\n
Ea a deschis dosarul. \u00cen\u0103untru erau copii dup\u0103 tabelul lui.<\/p>\n
Culoarea i-a disp\u0103rut instant din fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014Mi-ai umblat \u00een laptop?<\/p>\n
\u2014Tu \u00eemi calculai c\u00e2t cost\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 elimini din via\u021ba ta.<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu e ce crezi.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ba exact asta este.<\/p>\n
Radu \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014Ascult\u0103\u2026 lucrurile erau complicate\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014Nu, Radu. Tu erai complicat. Eu doar aveam \u00eencredere \u00een tine.<\/p>\n
El a \u00eencercat s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar nu mai g\u0103sea cuvintele potrivite.<\/p>\n
Mariana s-a ridicat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u0218tii ce e cel mai trist? Nu c\u0103 ai pe altcineva. Ci c\u0103 ai uitat complet cine a \u021binut casa asta \u00een picioare c\u00e2t timp tu construiai \u201eafacerea\u201d.<\/p>\n
Vocea ei nu tremura deloc.<\/p>\n
\u2014Eu am fost aici c\u00e2nd n-aveam bani de rate. C\u00e2nd mama ta avea nevoie de doctor. C\u00e2nd st\u0103teai nop\u021bi \u00eentregi stresat c\u0103 pierzi tot. \u0218i tu ai redus totul la un Excel.<\/p>\n
Radu a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, p\u0103rea mic.<\/p>\n
Mariana \u0219i-a luat geanta.<\/p>\n
\u2014Copiii r\u0103m\u00e2n aici p\u00e2n\u0103 termin anul \u0219colar. Nu o s\u0103-i destabilizez din orgoliu. Dar eu nu mai locuiesc cu un om care m\u0103 trateaz\u0103 ca pe o cheltuial\u0103.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it din apartament f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 tr\u00e2nteasc\u0103 u\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Pe hol, a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 foarte mult timp c\u0103 poate s\u0103 respire normal.<\/p>\n
Nu era fericit\u0103. Nu \u00eenc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar era din nou st\u0103p\u00e2n\u0103 pe propria via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i uneori, asta e primul lucru care trebuie salvat \u00eenainte de orice altceva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
