Unii ar fi spus c\u0103 era doar o petrecere ca oricare alta, organizat\u0103 de oamenii cu bani mul\u021bi. Muzic\u0103 discret\u0103, pahare elegante, parfumuri scumpe \u0219i conversa\u021bii rostite cu z\u00e2mbete perfect controlate. Dar pentru Raluca… totul era departe de \u201enormal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ea era acolo ca angajat\u0103 temporar\u0103, chemat\u0103 \u00een ultimul moment printr-o agen\u021bie de evenimente. \u00cen clipa \u00een care a p\u0103\u0219it \u00een vil\u0103, o senza\u021bie ciudat\u0103 i-a \u00een\u021bepat pieptul. Nimic dureros, doar un fior inexplicabil. Privirea i se plimba peste lambriuri, tablouri \u0219i candelabre, \u0219i ceva \u00een ea striga c\u0103 locul \u0103la nu-i era complet str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
Cu tava \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, mergea printre invita\u021bi, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 calm\u0103. Apoi, dintr-o dat\u0103, pa\u0219ii i s-au oprit. Pe un perete lateral era un colaj cu fotografii vechi. Una dintre ele a f\u0103cut-o s\u0103-\u0219i \u021bin\u0103 respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
\u00cen imagine era o feti\u021b\u0103 cu o rochie cu guler rotunjit, o juc\u0103rie de plu\u0219 \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet timid. Nicio \u00eendoial\u0103. Era ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamne\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunte\u021bi bine? \u2014 s-a auzit o voce masculin\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea. Un domn \u00een costum, cu privire p\u0103trunz\u0103toare \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet atent calculat, o privea fix.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da\u2026 adic\u0103\u2026 cred c\u0103 da, \u2014 a murmurat Raluca, privind fotografia f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Recuno\u0219ti feti\u021ba, nu-i a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt\u2026 eu.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a \u00eencuviin\u021bat din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 urm\u0103 de uimire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Nu e o coinciden\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 e\u0219ti aici.<\/p>\n
Raluca a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, cu respira\u021bia t\u0103iat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine sunte\u021bi? Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 vorbim undeva unde e mai lini\u0219te. Po\u021bi s\u0103 ai \u00eencredere \u00een mine.<\/p>\n
Cu ezitare, dar cople\u0219it\u0103 de o curiozitate greu de \u00eenfr\u00e2nat, l-a urmat. Au urcat la etaj, \u00eentr-o \u00eenc\u0103pere t\u0103cut\u0103, cu biblioteci din lemn masiv \u0219i miros de h\u00e2rtie veche.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Raluca, nu vreau s\u0103 te sperii. N-am ap\u0103rut \u00een via\u021ba ta \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor. Eu sunt fratele tat\u0103lui t\u0103u biologic.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele au c\u0103zut greu, ca o piatr\u0103 pe inim\u0103. Raluca \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103. Amintirile din copil\u0103rie erau vagi, fr\u00e2nturi amestecate: o voce cald\u0103, un parfum cunoscut, pl\u0103cinta cu scor\u021bi\u0219oar\u0103 \u0219i mere coapte\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Asta nu\u2026 e posibil, \u2014 a spus ea, dar vocea i se fr\u00e2ngea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd ai r\u0103mas orfan\u0103, ai fost dat\u0103 \u00een grija statului. Nu am \u0219tiut ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat cu tine. Am c\u0103utat ani la r\u00e2nd. C\u00e2nd \u021bi-am g\u0103sit numele pe lista personalului temporar\u2026 n-am mai avut dubii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i de ce tocmai acum? De ce la o petrecere?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 voiam s\u0103 v\u0103d cu ochii mei dac\u0103 recuno\u0219ti ceva. Dac\u0103 mai sim\u021bi vreo leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu locul acesta. Cu mine. Cu trecutul t\u0103u.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aer plutea aroma aceea cunoscut\u0103 \u2014 exact acel miros de pl\u0103cint\u0103 pe care-l asociase \u00eentotdeauna cu ceva cald \u0219i dureros de \u00eendep\u0103rtat.<\/p>\n
Raluca pl\u00e2ngea. Nu de durere. Nici de bucurie. Ci de uimire.<\/p>\n
\u0218tia doar un lucru: via\u021ba ei, a\u0219a cum o \u0219tia, se sf\u00e2r\u0219ise. \u0218i \u00een acela\u0219i timp\u2026 abia \u00eencepea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
