Pe ecranul telefonului scria:
\n\u2800
\n\u201eAndrei, am vorbit cu proprietarul. A confirmat c\u0103 apartamentul cu dou\u0103 dormitoare este preg\u0103tit pentru noi. Mai trebuie doar s\u0103 semn\u0103m actele luni.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAm citit mesajul de trei ori.
\n\u2800
\nDou\u0103 dormitoare.
\n\u2800
\nPentru noi.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru doi colegi care urmau s\u0103 locuiasc\u0103 \u00een aceea\u0219i cl\u0103dire.
\n\u2800
\nCi pentru doi oameni care urmau s\u0103 \u00eempart\u0103 acela\u0219i apartament.
\n\u2800
\nM-am uitat la Andrei.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ai spus c\u0103 ve\u021bi fi doar vecini.
\n\u2800
\nEl a \u00eentins m\u00e2na spre telefon.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, las\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 explic.
\n\u2800
\nM-am dat un pas \u00eenapoi.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Explic\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nA r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde cu gura \u00eentredeschis\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Firma a avut probleme cu caz\u0103rile. Era mai simplu s\u0103 \u00eenchiriem un apartament mai mare dec\u00e2t dou\u0103 separate.
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru c\u0103 era amuzant.
\n\u2800
\nCi pentru c\u0103 nu-mi venea s\u0103 cred c\u00e2t de u\u0219or \u00eei ie\u0219eau minciunile.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Deci urma s\u0103 locuie\u0219ti cu Simona?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u00cen camere separate!
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i de ce nu mi-ai spus?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiam c\u0103 o s\u0103 faci scandal!
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge pieptul.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Andrei, nu faptul c\u0103 ai o coleg\u0103 de serviciu m\u0103 deranjeaz\u0103. M\u0103 deranjeaz\u0103 c\u0103 ai organizat o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103 \u00een alt ora\u0219 \u0219i ai uitat s\u0103-\u021bi anun\u021bi so\u021bia.
\n\u2800
\nEl \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2inile prin p\u0103r.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Exagerezi.
\n\u2800
\nCuv\u00e2ntul acela m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 tac.
\n\u2800
\nExagerezi.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cel auzisem de prea multe ori.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd \u00eei spuneam c\u0103 vine prea t\u00e2rziu acas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd \u00eel \u00eentrebam de ce Simona \u00eei trimite mesaje la miezul nop\u021bii.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd \u00eei spuneam c\u0103 m\u0103 simt singur\u0103 \u00een propria c\u0103snicie.
\n\u2800
\nMereu exageram.
\n\u2800
\nMereu eram geloas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nMereu problema eram eu.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bine, am spus.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei m-a privit surprins.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bine?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da. Nu mai discut\u0103m \u00een seara asta.
\n\u2800
\nAm luat farfuriile de pe mas\u0103 \u0219i le-am dus la buc\u0103t\u0103rie.
\n\u2800
\nEl m-a urm\u0103rit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Deci ai \u00een\u021beles?
\n\u2800
\nM-am \u00eentors spre el.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am \u00een\u021beles mai multe dec\u00e2t crezi.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen noaptea aceea, Andrei a adormit repede.
\n\u2800
\nEu am r\u0103mas treaz\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nM\u0103 uitam la tavan \u0219i m\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam la cei doisprezece ani de c\u0103snicie.
\n\u2800
\nLa \u00eenceputurile noastre.
\n\u2800
\nLa apartamentul mic \u00een care locuiser\u0103m c\u00e2nd ne-am c\u0103s\u0103torit.
\n\u2800
\nLa serile \u00een care m\u00e2ncam paste ieftine \u0219i visam c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi vom avea o cas\u0103 frumoas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nLa toate sacrificiile pe care le f\u0103cusem \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nEu renun\u021basem la un post bun \u00eentr-un alt ora\u0219 ca s\u0103 nu-l oblig s\u0103 se mute.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cel sprijinisem c\u00e2nd r\u0103m\u0103sese f\u0103r\u0103 serviciu.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cei pl\u0103tisem cursurile de specializare din economiile mele.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i, \u00een ultimii ani, acceptasem s\u0103 lucrez mai pu\u021bine ore pentru c\u0103 el \u00eemi spunea mereu c\u0103 are nevoie de cineva care s\u0103 se ocupe de cas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAcum, omul acela preg\u0103tea o mutare despre care eu aflam de la \u0219eful lui.
\n\u2800
\nIar femeia care urma s\u0103 locuiasc\u0103 al\u0103turi de el \u00eemi z\u00e2mbea la masa mea.
\n\u2800
\nDiminea\u021ba, m-am trezit \u00eenaintea lui.
\n\u2800
\nMi-am f\u0103cut o cafea \u0219i am deschis laptopul.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am c\u0103utat telefonul.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am ghicit parolele.
\n\u2800
\nNu voiam s\u0103 ajung s\u0103 fac lucruri de care s\u0103-mi fie ru\u0219ine.
\n\u2800
\nDar aveam dreptul s\u0103 pun \u00eentreb\u0103ri.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i aveam dreptul s\u0103 decid ce accept \u00een propria c\u0103snicie.
\n\u2800
\nLa ora nou\u0103, l-am sunat pe domnul B\u0103nescu.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a r\u0103spuns dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bun\u0103 diminea\u021ba, doamn\u0103 Natalia. Sper c\u0103 nu deranjez.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu, eu v-am sunat. Vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eentreb ceva.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Sigur.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tia\u021bi c\u0103 Andrei \u0219i Simona urmau s\u0103 \u00eempart\u0103 acela\u0219i apartament la Bucure\u0219ti?
\n\u2800
\nLa cel\u0103lalt cap\u0103t al firului s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Poftim?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Acela\u0219i apartament. Dou\u0103 dormitoare.
\n\u2800
\nDomnul B\u0103nescu a oftat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, firma noastr\u0103 nu a organizat a\u0219a ceva.
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi \u00eenghea\u021b\u0103 m\u00e2inile.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Cum adic\u0103?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Compania le-a oferit fiec\u0103ruia o indemniza\u021bie de cazare. Angaja\u021bii \u00ee\u0219i aleg singuri locuin\u021ba. Noi nu am rezervat un apartament comun.
\n\u2800
\nM-am sprijinit de mas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Deci ei au decis asta?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu cunosc \u00een\u021belegerile lor personale. Dar v\u0103 pot confirma c\u0103 firma nu le-a cerut s\u0103 locuiasc\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eenchis ochii.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei m\u0103 min\u021bise din nou.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 V\u0103 mul\u021bumesc.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia…
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u pentru felul \u00een care a\u021bi aflat asear\u0103. Nu am \u0219tiut c\u0103 so\u021bul dumneavoastr\u0103 nu v\u0103 spusese.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nici eu nu am \u0219tiut c\u00e2t de multe \u00eemi ascunde.
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eenchis telefonul.
\n\u2800
\nApoi m-am a\u0219ezat \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.
\n\u2800
\nNu zgomotos.
\n\u2800
\nNu cu furie.
\n\u2800
\nPur \u0219i simplu am pl\u00e2ns.
\n\u2800
\nPentru c\u0103 adev\u0103rul \u00eencepea s\u0103 se contureze.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i nu-mi pl\u0103cea deloc ce vedeam.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd Andrei a cobor\u00e2t \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, m-a g\u0103sit cu cafeaua rece \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Bun\u0103 diminea\u021ba, a spus.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am r\u0103spuns.
\n\u2800
\nS-a uitat la mine.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Tot sup\u0103rat\u0103 e\u0219ti?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am vorbit cu domnul B\u0103nescu.
\n\u2800
\nS-a oprit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 De ce?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 voiam s\u0103 \u0219tiu de ce firma v\u0103 oblig\u0103 s\u0103 locui\u021bi \u00een acela\u0219i apartament.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei s-a f\u0103cut palid.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i ce \u021bi-a spus?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 C\u0103 firma nu v-a obligat la nimic.
\n\u2800
\nA r\u0103mas t\u0103cut.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Voi a\u021bi ales apartamentul, nu-i a\u0219a?
\n\u2800
\nAndrei s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eencet.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, lucrurile sunt complicate.
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u00e2s amar.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Atunci simplific\u0103-le. Spune-mi adev\u0103rul.
\n\u2800
\nA privit spre fereastr\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Eu \u0219i Simona ne-am apropiat \u00een ultimele luni.
\n\u2800
\nCuvintele acelea m-au lovit mai tare dec\u00e2t m\u0103 a\u0219teptasem.
\n\u2800
\nDe\u0219i le b\u0103nuisem.
\n\u2800
\nDe\u0219i le a\u0219teptasem.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd le-am auzit, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 tot aerul dispare din \u00eenc\u0103pere.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 C\u00e2t de mult v-a\u021bi apropiat?
\n\u2800
\nAndrei a \u00eenchis ochii.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 avem sentimente unul pentru cel\u0103lalt.
\n\u2800
\nMi-am str\u00e2ns m\u00e2inile sub mas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i de c\u00e2nd?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 De vreo \u0219ase luni.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218ase luni.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen timp ce eu \u00eei preg\u0103team cina.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen timp ce \u00eel \u00eentrebam dac\u0103 este obosit.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen timp ce m\u0103 \u00eengrijoram c\u0103 munce\u0219te prea mult.
\n\u2800
\nEl se \u00eendr\u0103gostea de alt\u0103 femeie.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 A\u021bi avut o rela\u021bie? am \u00eentrebat.
\n\u2800
\nA ezitat.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i ezitarea lui mi-a fost suficient\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da, a spus \u00een cele din urm\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi tremur\u0103 b\u0103rbia.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i asear\u0103 ai adus-o \u00een casa mea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu am vrut s\u0103 te r\u0103nesc.
\n\u2800
\nM-am uitat la el.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Andrei, ai adus-o la masa mea. Ai l\u0103sat-o s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce din farfuriile mele. Ai l\u0103sat-o s\u0103-mi z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103, \u0219tiind c\u0103 voi doi urma s\u0103 locui\u021bi \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nA cobor\u00e2t privirea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu, am spus. \u00ce\u021bi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 am aflat.
\n\u2800
\nA ridicat capul.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu este adev\u0103rat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Atunci de ce nu mi-ai spus tu?
\n\u2800
\nNu a r\u0103spuns.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 doisprezece ani, am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 t\u0103cerea lui era mai sincer\u0103 dec\u00e2t toate explica\u021biile.
\n\u2800
\nM-am ridicat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 pleci.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei m-a privit uluit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 s\u0103 plec?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 S\u0103-\u021bi iei c\u00e2teva lucruri \u0219i s\u0103 stai \u00een alt\u0103 parte p\u00e2n\u0103 ne l\u0103murim ce facem mai departe.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, este \u0219i casa mea!
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu. Nu discut acum despre dreptul de proprietate. \u00ce\u021bi cer s\u0103-mi dai pu\u021bin spa\u021biu.
\n\u2800
\nA oftat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu putem s\u0103 rezolv\u0103m lucrurile ca doi oameni maturi?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Tocmai asta \u00eencerc s\u0103 fac.
\n\u2800
\nS-a uitat lung la mine.
\n\u2800
\nApoi s-a ridicat \u0219i a plecat \u00een dormitor.
\n\u2800
\nO or\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, a ie\u0219it cu o valiz\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nLa u\u0219\u0103, s-a \u00eentors.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 O s\u0103 regre\u021bi c\u0103 m-ai alungat.
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum m\u0103 str\u0103bate un fior.
\n\u2800
\nDar nu m-am mi\u0219cat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Poate, Andrei. Dar acum regret mai mult c\u0103 te-am crezut at\u00e2t de mult timp.
\n\u2800
\nA plecat.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd u\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis, am r\u0103mas singur\u0103 \u00een mijlocul sufrageriei.
\n\u2800
\nMasa era \u00eenc\u0103 acoperit\u0103 cu fa\u021ba de mas\u0103 mov pe care o pusesem pentru cin\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen vaz\u0103 erau florile cump\u0103rate de mine.
\n\u2800
\nPe scaunul pe care st\u0103tuse Simona se vedea \u00eenc\u0103 o urm\u0103 de ruj pe pahar.
\n\u2800
\nL-am luat.
\n\u2800
\nL-am sp\u0103lat.
\n\u2800
\nApoi am sp\u0103lat toate farfuriile.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru c\u0103 trebuia.
\n\u2800
\nCi pentru c\u0103 aveam nevoie s\u0103 fac ceva cu m\u00e2inile ca s\u0103 nu m\u0103 pr\u0103bu\u0219esc.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, am \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi reorganizez via\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nAm sunat-o pe sora mea, Cristina.
\n\u2800
\nA venit imediat.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2nd i-am povestit totul, a r\u0103mas cu gura c\u0103scat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i a avut tupeul s\u0103 o aduc\u0103 la cin\u0103?
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eencuviin\u021bat.
\n\u2800
\nCristina \u0219i-a pus m\u00e2inile \u00een cap.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, asta nu mai este doar o minciun\u0103. Este o lips\u0103 de respect cum rar am v\u0103zut.
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.
\n\u2800
\nSora mea m-a \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 O s\u0103 treci peste asta.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu cum.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pas cu pas.
\n\u2800
\nA doua zi, am f\u0103cut o programare la un avocat.
\n\u2800
\nAm vrut s\u0103 \u0219tiu ce drepturi aveam asupra casei \u0219i asupra economiilor noastre.
\n\u2800
\nAm aflat c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 str\u00e2ng documentele \u0219i s\u0103 clarific situa\u021bia bunurilor dob\u00e2ndite \u00een timpul c\u0103sniciei.
\n\u2800
\nNu voiam r\u0103zbunare.
\n\u2800
\nVoiam s\u0103 nu m\u0103 trezesc f\u0103r\u0103 nimic dup\u0103 doisprezece ani \u00een care construisem o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centre timp, Andrei a plecat la Bucure\u0219ti.
\n\u2800
\nCu Simona.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen apartamentul cu dou\u0103 dormitoare.
\n\u2800
\nNu m-a mai sunat dec\u00e2t de c\u00e2teva ori.
\n\u2800
\nLa \u00eenceput, ca s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 c\u0103 exagerez.
\n\u2800
\nApoi, ca s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 sunt preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103 discut\u0103m despre divor\u021b.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, a \u00eencetat s\u0103 m\u0103 mai caute.
\n\u2800
\nAu trecut aproape dou\u0103 luni.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, am primit un mesaj de la un num\u0103r necunoscut.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eBun\u0103 ziua, Natalia. Sunt Simona. \u0218tiu c\u0103 nu ave\u021bi niciun motiv s\u0103 vorbi\u021bi cu mine, dar trebuie s\u0103 v\u0103 spun ceva despre Andrei.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u0103mas cu telefonul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u0219tiam dac\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103spund.
\n\u2800
\nDup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, a venit al doilea mesaj.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eV\u0103 rog. Este important.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAm scris doar at\u00e2t:
\n\u2800
\n\u201eSpune.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nR\u0103spunsul a venit imediat.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eAndrei nu mai lucreaz\u0103 la firm\u0103. A fost concediat.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eencremenit.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eDe ce?\u201d
\n\u2800
\nSimona a ezitat c\u00e2teva minute.
\n\u2800
\nApoi mi-a trimis un mesaj lung.
\n\u2800
\nMi-a explicat c\u0103 proiectul din Bucure\u0219ti avusese probleme serioase.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei \u00eent\u00e2rziase termene importante, lipsise de la \u0219edin\u021be \u0219i f\u0103cuse c\u00e2teva gre\u0219eli costisitoare.
\n\u2800
\nConducerea \u00eei ceruse explica\u021bii.
\n\u2800
\nEl \u00eencercase s\u0103 dea vina pe colegi.
\n\u2800
\nInclusiv pe Simona.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, contractul lui de munc\u0103 fusese \u00eencetat.
\n\u2800
\nDar asta nu era tot.
\n\u2800
\n\u201eNe-am desp\u0103r\u021bit\u201d, scria ea.
\n\u2800
\nAm privit mesajul.
\n\u2800
\nNu am sim\u021bit bucurie.
\n\u2800
\nNici satisfac\u021bie.
\n\u2800
\nDoar o oboseal\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nApoi Simona a mai scris ceva:
\n\u2800
\n\u201eAcum \u00een\u021beleg ce a\u021bi vrut s\u0103 spune\u021bi \u00een seara aceea. Un b\u0103rbat care \u00ee\u0219i minte so\u021bia poate s\u0103 m\u0103 mint\u0103 \u0219i pe mine.\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAm l\u0103sat telefonul jos.
\n\u2800
\nNu i-am r\u0103spuns.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru c\u0103 o uram.
\n\u2800
\nCi pentru c\u0103 nu mai aveam nimic de discutat cu ea.
\n\u2800
\nC\u00e2teva zile mai t\u00e2rziu, Andrei a ap\u0103rut la u\u0219a mea.
\n\u2800
\nEra slab.
\n\u2800
\nObosit.
\n\u2800
\nCu cearc\u0103ne ad\u00e2nci.
\n\u2800
\n\u021ainea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 un buchet de trandafiri.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia…
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u0103mas \u00een prag.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ce vrei?
\n\u2800
\nA \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Putem vorbi?
\n\u2800
\nL-am privit c\u00e2teva secunde.
\n\u2800
\nApoi l-am l\u0103sat s\u0103 intre.
\n\u2800
\nS-a a\u0219ezat pe canapeaua pe care st\u0103tuse de at\u00e2tea ori.
\n\u2800
\nA privit \u00een jur.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu ai schimbat nimic.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ba da, Andrei. Am schimbat foarte multe lucruri.
\n\u2800
\nA cobor\u00e2t privirea.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 am gre\u0219it.
\n\u2800
\nNu am spus nimic.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Simona \u0219i cu mine nu mai suntem \u00eempreun\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am auzit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218i am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 serviciu.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu \u0219i asta.
\n\u2800
\nM-a privit surprins.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 De unde?
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu conteaz\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nA oftat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, am fost un prost.
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Am distrus totul pentru ceva ce nici m\u0103car nu era real.
\n\u2800
\nMi-am \u00eencruci\u0219at m\u00e2inile.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru tine a fost suficient de real \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 m\u0103 min\u021bi \u0219ase luni.
\n\u2800
\nA \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Suficient de real \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103-\u021bi aduci amanta la mine acas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Suficient de real \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 preg\u0103te\u0219ti o via\u021b\u0103 cu ea \u00een alt ora\u0219.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i-a acoperit fa\u021ba cu m\u00e2inile.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Natalia, te rog. Mai d\u0103-mi o \u0219ans\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nL-am privit.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen urm\u0103 cu c\u00e2teva luni, a\u0219 fi f\u0103cut orice s\u0103 aud acele cuvinte.
\n\u2800
\nA\u0219 fi pl\u00e2ns de fericire.
\n\u2800
\nL-a\u0219 fi \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219at.
\n\u2800
\nI-a\u0219 fi promis c\u0103 vom trece peste tot.
\n\u2800
\nDar acum sim\u021beam altceva.
\n\u2800
\nLini\u0219te.
\n\u2800
\nO lini\u0219te pe care nu o mai avusesem de ani \u00eentregi.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Andrei, am spus \u00eencet, nu vreau s\u0103 ne \u00eemp\u0103c\u0103m.
\n\u2800
\nA ridicat capul.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Dar am fost \u00eempreun\u0103 doisprezece ani!
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 \u0218tiu.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu po\u021bi s\u0103 arunci totul la gunoi!
\n\u2800
\nAm sim\u021bit cum mi se umezesc ochii.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Nu eu am f\u0103cut asta.
\n\u2800
\nA \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 din nou.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Te iubesc.
\n\u2800
\nAm cl\u0103tinat din cap.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Poate c\u0103 m\u0103 iube\u0219ti acum. Sau poate c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi este fric\u0103 s\u0103 fii singur. Nu mai pot s\u0103 fac diferen\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nA r\u0103mas t\u0103cut.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Dar eu \u0219tiu un lucru. Nu vreau s\u0103-mi petrec restul vie\u021bii \u00eentreb\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 dac\u0103 b\u0103rbatul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u00eemi spune adev\u0103rul.
\n\u2800
\nAndrei \u0219i-a \u0219ters ochii.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Deci asta e?
\n\u2800
\nAm \u00eencuviin\u021bat.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Da.
\n\u2800
\nA plecat dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute.
\n\u2800
\nTrandafirii au r\u0103mas pe mas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nI-am pus \u00eentr-o vaz\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu pentru c\u0103 m\u0103 r\u0103zg\u00e2ndisem.
\n\u2800
\nCi pentru c\u0103 florile nu aveau nicio vin\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00cen lunile urm\u0103toare, divor\u021bul nostru a fost finalizat.
\n\u2800
\nAm reu\u0219it s\u0103 ajungem la o \u00een\u021belegere privind bunurile comune.
\n\u2800
\nNu a fost u\u0219or.
\n\u2800
\nAu existat discu\u021bii.
\n\u2800
\nAu existat repro\u0219uri.
\n\u2800
\nDar, \u00een cele din urm\u0103, fiecare \u0219i-a continuat via\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nEu am \u00eenceput s\u0103 lucrez din nou cu norm\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nMi-am f\u0103cut prieteni noi.
\n\u2800
\nAm reluat cursurile de pictur\u0103 la care renun\u021basem cu ani \u00een urm\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 m\u0103 bucur de serile lini\u0219tite, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 a\u0219tept pe cineva care nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 vrea s\u0103 vin\u0103 acas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\n\u00centr-o sear\u0103 de toamn\u0103, aproape un an dup\u0103 cina aceea, am organizat o mas\u0103 pentru sora mea \u0219i c\u00e2\u021biva prieteni.
\n\u2800
\nAm g\u0103tit acelea\u0219i feluri de m\u00e2ncare.
\n\u2800
\nMi-am pus aceea\u0219i rochie mov.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i am a\u0219ezat pe mas\u0103 aceea\u0219i fa\u021b\u0103 de mas\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nDar de data aceasta nu eram agitat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu a\u0219teptam s\u0103 fiu judecat\u0103.
\n\u2800
\nNu \u00eencercam s\u0103 impresionez pe nimeni.
\n\u2800
\nEram pur \u0219i simplu fericit\u0103 c\u0103 oamenii care st\u0103teau la masa mea \u00ee\u0219i doreau s\u0103 fie acolo.
\n\u2800
\nLa un moment dat, Cristina \u0219i-a ridicat paharul.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru Natalia!
\n\u2800
\nAm r\u00e2s.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ce-am f\u0103cut?
\n\u2800
\nSora mea a z\u00e2mbit.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Ai \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat s\u0103 te alegi \u0219i pe tine.
\n\u2800
\nMi-au dat lacrimile.
\n\u2800
\nAm ridicat paharul.
\n\u2800
\n\u2014 Pentru oamenii care ne spun adev\u0103rul, chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd este greu.
\n\u2800
\nTo\u021bi au ciocnit paharele.
\n\u2800
\n\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 foarte mult timp, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 sunt exact acolo unde trebuie s\u0103 fiu.
\n\u2800
\nM-am g\u00e2ndit la seara \u00een care domnul B\u0103nescu se \u00eentorsese spre mine \u0219i \u00eentrebase:
\n\u2800
\n\u201eDeci tu \u00eenc\u0103 nu \u0219tii?\u201d
\n\u2800
\nAtunci crezusem c\u0103 acele cuvinte \u00eemi vor distruge via\u021ba.
\n\u2800
\nDar acum \u00een\u021belegeam c\u0103 \u00eemi deschiseser\u0103 ochii.
\n\u2800
\nSo\u021bul meu crezuse c\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i poate construi o via\u021b\u0103 nou\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 adev\u0103rul. Nu se a\u0219teptase ca, \u00een timp ce el \u00ee\u0219i preg\u0103tea plecarea, eu s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc f\u0103r\u0103 el.
\n\u2800
\nIar cea mai mare surpriz\u0103 nu fusese c\u0103 m\u0103 \u00een\u0219elase. Ci c\u0103, dup\u0103 ce am aflat adev\u0103rul, am descoperit c\u00e2t de bine puteam s\u0103 fiu \u0219i singur\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
