Atmosfera din apartament se \u00een\u0103spri brusc. Ma\u0219a \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2ngea m\u00e2necile tricoului, sim\u021bindu-se deodat\u0103 ca o intrus\u0103 \u00een propria poveste. Irina r\u0103mase dreapt\u0103, cu valiza l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103. Vlad, prins \u00eentre ele, \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103du seama c\u0103 siguran\u021ba lui se clatin\u0103 ca un pod \u0219ubred de lemn.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu te-am adus aici s\u0103 te judeci cu fosta, \u2014 izbucni el, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i salveze autoritatea.
\u2014 Nu am venit s\u0103 m\u0103 cert, \u2014 \u00eei r\u0103spunse Irina calm. \u2014 Am venit s\u0103 iau ce mi se cuvine \u0219i s\u0103-\u021bi amintesc ce ai uitat: legea \u0219i cuv\u00e2ntul dat.<\/p>\n
Tonul ei era ferm, ca al unei femei care \u00ee\u0219i rec\u00e2\u0219tigase demnitatea. \u00cen contrast, Ma\u0219a sim\u021bea cum \u00eei arde fa\u021ba. Nu voia s\u0103 fie parte dintr-o lupt\u0103 pentru apartament. Ea \u00ee\u0219i dorise un \u00eenceput nou, nu o continuare a trecutului altcuiva.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vlad, e adev\u0103rat? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 ea, privindu-l cu ochii mari. \u2014 Apartamentul e \u0219i al ei?<\/p>\n
El \u00ee\u0219i drese glasul, dar cuvintele nu ie\u0219eau. \u00ce\u0219i d\u0103du seama c\u0103 \u00een toat\u0103 graba lui dup\u0103 libertate \u0219i pasiune, neglijase partea cea mai grea: responsabilitatea.<\/p>\n
Irina ridic\u0103 valiza \u0219i, cu un aer demn, trecu pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei.
\u2014 N-o s\u0103 v\u0103 deranjez mai mult. Dar \u021bine minte, Vlad: jum\u0103t\u0103\u021bile nu pot fi \u0219terse cu un burete.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a se \u00eenchise \u00een urma ei, iar t\u0103cerea se a\u0219ternu ca o cea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ma\u0219a puse cea\u0219ca pe m\u0103su\u021b\u0103 cu un zgomot sec.
\u2014 Eu nu vreau s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 care nu e a ta pe deplin, \u2014 spuse \u00eencet, dar ferm. \u2014 Nu vreau s\u0103 fiu umbra altei femei.<\/p>\n
Vlad sim\u021bi cum \u00eel cuprinde furia, dar \u0219i o team\u0103 nou\u0103. Pentru prima dat\u0103, nu mai era sigur c\u0103 st\u0103p\u00e2ne\u0219te terenul. \u00cei veneau \u00een minte vorbele bunicii lui, o femeie simpl\u0103 de la \u021bar\u0103, care mereu \u00eei spunea: \u201eCasa nu e zidurile, b\u0103iete, ci lini\u0219tea din\u0103untru. Dac\u0103 nu e pace, pere\u021bii te strivesc.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintea de copil\u0103ria petrecut\u0103 la sat, unde oamenii \u00eemp\u0103r\u021beau totul \u2014 p\u0103m\u00e2nt, gr\u00e2ne, munc\u0103. Nimeni nu-\u0219i revendica partea cu r\u0103utate, pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiau c\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 unitate, nu se supravie\u021buia. Acum, \u00een mijlocul apartamentului lui modern, adev\u0103rul era crud: cl\u0103dise un zid de orgoliu, nu o cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ma\u0219a\u2026 \u2014 \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103, dar ea ridic\u0103 m\u00e2na oprindu-l.
\u2014 Nu, Vlad. Poate pentru tine e un joc de orgolii. Pentru mine e via\u021b\u0103. Eu vreau r\u0103d\u0103cini, nu scandaluri.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci el \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 tot ce credea c\u0103 e \u201efericire\u201d se pr\u0103bu\u0219ea.<\/p>\n
Se uit\u0103 la apartamentul acela, cu mobila cump\u0103rat\u0103 \u00een anii buni cu Irina, cu fotografiile ascunse \u00een dulap, cu aroma de cafea care se amesteca acum cu gustul amar al certurilor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai dreptate, \u2014 rosti el \u00eentr-un final, cu voce joas\u0103. \u2014 Am crezut c\u0103 pot s\u0103 fug de trecut, dar trecutul are jum\u0103tatea lui \u00een tot ce tr\u0103im.<\/p>\n
Ma\u0219a oft\u0103, l\u0103s\u0103 ochii \u00een jos. Era clar c\u0103 nu putea construi viitorul pe o funda\u021bie \u0219ubred\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vlad sim\u021bi c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 fac\u0103 ceva ce evitase mereu: s\u0103 fie sincer, nu doar seduc\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, diminea\u021ba devreme, \u00ee\u0219i puse costumul \u0219i merse la notar. \u00cent\u00e2lni acolo privirea Irinei, aceea\u0219i privire hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103, dar f\u0103r\u0103 ur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 termin\u0103m cu actele, \u2014 spuse el simplu. \u2014 \u0218i s\u0103-\u021bi dau partea ta.<\/p>\n
Irina aprob\u0103 din cap.
\u2014 Atunci vei putea \u00eencepe cu adev\u0103rat de la zero.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 multe luni, Vlad sim\u021bi lini\u0219te. O lini\u0219te grea, dar curat\u0103, ca dup\u0103 o furtun\u0103 de var\u0103. \u0218tia c\u0103 Ma\u0219a ar putea r\u0103m\u00e2ne sau ar putea pleca. \u0218tia c\u0103 via\u021ba lui nu mai avea s\u0103 fie la fel.<\/p>\n
Dar mai \u0219tia ceva: adev\u0103rata \u201est\u0103p\u00e2n\u0103\u201d nu era nici Irina, nici Ma\u0219a. Era con\u0219tiin\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n
\u0218i dac\u0103 voia o cas\u0103 \u00een care s\u0103 fie pace, trebuia s\u0103 o construiasc\u0103 nu cu ziduri, ci cu adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea clip\u0103, Vlad \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba lui, avea de ales nu \u00eentre dou\u0103 femei, ci \u00eentre dou\u0103 c\u0103i: m\u00e2ndria \u0219i responsabilitatea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, alesese bine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
