\u201eStai jos, Marco. E timpul s\u0103-\u021bi vezi adev\u0103rata so\u021bie.\u201d
Tonul Elenei era rece, de ghea\u021b\u0103. Toat\u0103 supunerea \u0219i r\u0103bdarea de p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci se spulberaser\u0103. Clara r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00eempietrit\u0103, cu fa\u021ba ro\u0219ie, \u00eenghi\u021bind \u00een sec, iar prietena ei se f\u0103cuse mic\u0103, lipit\u0103 de u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena se ridic\u0103 \u00een picioare \u0219i, cu o mi\u0219care calm\u0103, \u00ee\u0219i aranj\u0103 bluza. \u201e\u00cen casa asta am muncit eu s\u0103 pun fiecare leu. Eu am zugr\u0103vit pere\u021bii, eu am cump\u0103rat mobila, eu am pl\u0103tit ratele. \u0218i eu hot\u0103r\u0103sc cine m\u0103 respect\u0103 \u0219i cine nu. Cine nu, \u00ee\u0219i face bagajele \u0219i pleac\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marco \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 deschid\u0103 gura, dar so\u021bia \u00eel s\u0103get\u0103 cu privirea. \u201eTu ai adus-o aici. Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, atunci stai cu ea, dar nu \u00een apartamentul meu. \u00cen\u021belegi?\u201d
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani de zile, Marco nu mai glumi, nu mai \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eendulceasc\u0103 situa\u021bia. \u0218tia c\u0103 Elena nu glumea.<\/p>\n
Clara \u00eencerc\u0103 un z\u00e2mbet superior. \u201eDar\u2026 unchiule\u2026 eu n-am unde s\u0103 merg\u2026\u201d
\u201eAi unde. Ai mam\u0103, ai rude, ai prieteni. Poate chiar b\u0103ie\u021bii pe care \u00eei aduci noaptea. Dar aici nu. Nu \u00een casa mea, nu peste mine. Nu-\u021bi permi\u021bi s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti pe spinarea mea \u0219i s\u0103 m\u0103 umile\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea era grea. \u00cen aer plutea un amestec de ru\u0219ine \u0219i revolt\u0103. Elena se apropie de fereastr\u0103 \u0219i trase storurile. Lumina dimine\u021bii se rev\u0103rsa peste toat\u0103 scena, ca \u0219i cum ar fi scos la iveal\u0103 fiecare masc\u0103 fals\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cen casa rom\u00e2nului\u201d, continu\u0103 ea cu voce tare, \u201emusafirul e respectat c\u00e2t timp respect\u0103. \u00cen satul meu, la bunici, nu intrai \u00een cas\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 salu\u021bi. Nu st\u0103teai cu m\u00e2inile \u00een s\u00e2n c\u00e2nd gazda muncea. \u0218i nici nu aruncai mizeria \u00een mijlocul camerei. Dac\u0103 f\u0103ceai asta, bunicul te trimitea la drum \u00eenainte s\u0103 apuci s\u0103-\u021bi pui pantofii.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vorbele ei c\u0103zur\u0103 ca ni\u0219te pietre grele. Clara ro\u0219i \u0219i mai tare, iar prietena ei \u00ee\u0219i adun\u0103 geanta \u00een grab\u0103. \u201eHaide, Clara, mergem\u2026\u201d \u0219opti, aproape implor\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Dar Elena nu terminase. Se \u00eentoarse spre so\u021bul ei, cu privirea aceea care nu accepta replic\u0103. \u201e\u0218i tu, Marco, ai uitat cum te-am g\u0103sit? Ai uitat cine te-a ridicat c\u00e2nd nu aveai nimic? Ai adus \u00een casa mea o nepoat\u0103 r\u0103sf\u0103\u021bat\u0103 \u0219i ai l\u0103sat-o s\u0103 calce \u00een picioare tot ce am construit \u00eempreun\u0103. Dac\u0103 nu pui \u0219i tu o limit\u0103, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 e\u0219ti de partea ei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marco \u00ee\u0219i trecu m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r, tulburat. \u00ce\u0219i iubea so\u021bia, dar \u00eentreaga scen\u0103 \u00eel punea \u00eentr-o lumin\u0103 ru\u0219inoas\u0103. \u201eAi dreptate, Elena. Am gre\u0219it.\u201d Vocea \u00eei tremura, dar era sincer\u0103. \u201eClara, ia-\u021bi lucrurile. Azi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara izbucni: \u201eUnchiule, chiar m\u0103 dai afar\u0103 pentru ea?!\u201d
Elena izbucni \u00een r\u00e2s, dar era un r\u00e2s amar. \u201ePentru mine? Nu, fata mea. Pentru tine \u00eens\u0103\u021bi. C\u0103 nu \u0219tii ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 respect, ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 bun-sim\u021b. \u0218i pentru c\u0103 ai crezut c\u0103, doar fiind rud\u0103, po\u021bi s\u0103 faci ce vrei.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen c\u00e2teva minute, valizele Clarei erau la u\u0219\u0103. Prietena ei o tr\u0103gea de m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 o scoat\u0103 din apartament \u00eenainte ca tensiunea s\u0103 explodeze.<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eenchise u\u0219a \u00een urma lor \u0219i se a\u0219ez\u0103 la mas\u0103. Tremura, dar nu de fric\u0103, ci de eliberare. \u201eMarco, acum e r\u00e2ndul t\u0103u s\u0103 dovede\u0219ti c\u0103 \u00een\u021belegi.\u201d<\/p>\n
El se a\u0219ez\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba ei, cu ochii pleca\u021bi. \u201e\u00ce\u021bi promit c\u0103 n-o s\u0103 mai pun niciodat\u0103 pe nimeni deasupra ta. Tu e\u0219ti so\u021bia mea, tu e\u0219ti familia mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elena \u00eel privi c\u00e2teva clipe, apoi d\u0103du din cap. \u201eBine. Dar s\u0103 \u021bii minte: respectul se cere o dat\u0103. A doua oar\u0103 se impune.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i \u00een acea diminea\u021b\u0103, cu soarele intr\u00e2nd prin ferestre \u0219i cu lini\u0219tea a\u0219ternut\u0103 peste apartament, Elena sim\u021bi pentru prima dat\u0103 c\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i rec\u00e2\u0219tigase puterea.<\/p>\n
