Inna \u00eel privi pe so\u021bul ei, dar el se f\u0103cea c\u0103 nu \u00een\u021belege aluziile.<\/p>\n
Era a treia sau a patra oar\u0103 c\u00e2nd Oleg venea \u201e\u00een vizit\u0103\u201d, dar doar ca s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce. Inna suspin\u0103 ad\u00e2nc, \u00ee\u0219i mu\u0219c\u0103 buza \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103 pun\u0103 cartofi cu pui \u00een farfurii. Le a\u0219ez\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba b\u0103rba\u021bilor f\u0103r\u0103 nici urm\u0103 de z\u00e2mbet.<\/p>\n
Oleg, instalat confortabil la mas\u0103, trase ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept mirosul m\u00e2nc\u0103rii \u0219i, cu gura plin\u0103, bolborosi:
\n\u2014 Auzi, Inna, nu e \u0219i ceva fel \u00eent\u00e2i? C\u0103 n-am m\u00e2ncat nimic toat\u0103 ziua\u2026 doar cafeaua de diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eCe sunt eu, cantin\u0103? Poate vrei \u0219i compot?\u201d \u2014 \u00eei fulger\u0103 prin minte. Dar cu voce joas\u0103 spuse doar:
\n\u2014 Este. \u00ce\u021bi pun acum.<\/p>\n
Se apropie de plit\u0103, trase o oal\u0103 \u0219i turn\u0103 supa \u00eentr-o farfurie ad\u00e2nc\u0103, pe care o puse \u00een fa\u021ba lui Oleg. Acesta nici nu mul\u021bumi. Doar m\u00e2nca, ca \u0219i cum a\u0219a era normal.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 cin\u0103, b\u0103rba\u021bii \u00eempinser\u0103 farfuriile goale spre marginea mesei, iar Ale\u0219 se \u00eentinse alene:
\n\u2014 Ooo, ce bine a mers\u2026 Inna, e\u0219ti o maestr\u0103 \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie, ca \u00eentotdeauna.<\/p>\n
\u00centre timp, Oleg se ridic\u0103, se \u00eentinse de tot, trosnindu-\u0219i spatele, \u0219i se \u00eendrept\u0103 spre sufragerie. V\u0103z\u00e2nd canapeaua, era gata s\u0103 se lase pe ea, cu hainele murdare de \u0219antier, c\u00e2nd \u00een spatele lui se auzi un strig\u0103t puternic, aproape \u021bip\u0103tor:
\n\u2014 Nuuuu!<\/p>\n
Tres\u0103ri \u0219i se \u00eentoarse. Inna st\u0103tea \u00een u\u0219a buc\u0103t\u0103riei, cu m\u00e2inile la piept, privindu-l ca pe un obiect exploziv.
\n\u2014 \u00cen hainele astea \u2014 s\u0103 nu te a\u0219ezi pe canapea! E nou\u0103, s\u0103 \u0219tii.<\/p>\n
Oleg ridic\u0103 spr\u00e2ncenele, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se spre Ale\u0219, parc\u0103 \u00eentreb\u00e2nd: \u201eCe are?\u201d Dar acesta doar ridic\u0103 din umeri \u0219i se afund\u0103 din nou \u00een telefon.<\/p>\n
Inna \u00ee\u0219i \u0219terse m\u00e2inile de \u0219or\u021b \u0219i ie\u0219i din buc\u0103t\u0103rie. Glasul ei era calm, dar rece ca ghea\u021ba:
\n\u2014 Dac\u0103 v\u0103 e foame \u2014 v\u0103 hr\u0103nesc. Dar, scuza\u021bi, ospitalitatea f\u0103r\u0103 limite nu e specialitatea mea. Asta e cas\u0103, nu zon\u0103 de odihn\u0103 pentru muncitori. Oleg, ai apartamentul t\u0103u \u2014 odihne\u0219te-te acolo. Sau m\u0103car spal\u0103-te \u0219i schimb\u0103-te \u00eenainte s\u0103 te \u00eentinzi pe canapeaua noastr\u0103. Ale\u0219, tu e\u0219ti st\u0103p\u00e2n aici, dar eu nu sunt servitoare.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, cu aceste cuvinte, se \u00eenchise \u00een baie. Dincolo de u\u0219\u0103 se auzi apa pornit\u0103. Oleg r\u0103mase \u00een mijlocul camerei, sc\u0103rpin\u00e2ndu-se \u00een cap, iar Ale\u0219 \u00eencrunt\u0103 spr\u00e2ncenele.
\n\u2014 Ce-a apucat-o? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 el pe fratele s\u0103u.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 acea sear\u0103, Oleg nu mai ap\u0103ru la ei. Nici a doua zi, nici dup\u0103 dou\u0103, nici duminic\u0103 \u2014 ceea ce era surprinz\u0103tor. Inna, \u00een t\u0103cere, se bucura. Sim\u021bea o u\u0219urare, amestecat\u0103 \u00eens\u0103 cu o nelini\u0219te:
\n\u201eOare nu cumva doar a\u0219teapt\u0103 momentul?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trecuse o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103. Inna era aproape convins\u0103 c\u0103 vorbele ei au avut efect, c\u0103 Oleg \u00een\u021belesese c\u0103 nu e normal s\u0103 vin\u0103 \u00een alt\u0103 cas\u0103 ca la cantin\u0103. Dar, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 de vineri, abia apucase s\u0103-\u0219i dea jos pantofii \u0219i s\u0103 pun\u0103 o oal\u0103 cu hri\u0219c\u0103 pe foc, c\u00e2nd \u00een broasc\u0103 se r\u0103suci cheia. Intra Ale\u0219, str\u0103nut\u0103 zgomotos, apoi strig\u0103 spre u\u0219\u0103:
\n\u2014 Haide\u021bi, ce mai sta\u021bi?<\/p>\n
Inna \u00eencremeni. Mai \u00eent\u00e2i ap\u0103ru Oleg \u2014 cu o mutr\u0103 satisf\u0103cut\u0103 \u0219i un tricou surprinz\u0103tor de curat. Dup\u0103 el \u2014 so\u021bia lui, Lenu\u021ba, cu p\u0103rul prins sus \u0219i privirea sigur\u0103. Iar \u00een spate, doi b\u0103ie\u021bi: unul cu ghiozdanul \u00een spate, altul cu o sabie de plastic \u0219i gura murdar\u0103 de ciocolat\u0103.
\n\u2014 Bun\u0103, Inna! \u2014 spuse vesel Lenu\u021ba. \u2014 Sper c\u0103 nu venim prea devreme? Am zis s\u0103 trecem pe aici c\u00e2t timp Oleg mai car\u0103 ni\u0219te cutii. Oricum, acum st\u0103m aproape!<\/p>\n
Inna \u00eencuviin\u021b\u0103 din cap, se \u00eentoarse \u00eencet spre plit\u0103 \u0219i stinse focul. Hri\u0219ca fierbea \u0219i sf\u00e2r\u00e2ia, la fel ca iritarea ei. \u00ce\u0219i \u0219terse m\u00e2inile de prosop \u0219i se r\u0103suci spre ei:<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103d c\u0103 v-a\u021bi instalat comod, \u2014 spuse ea cu o voce t\u0103ioas\u0103, dar controlat\u0103. \u2014 Pofti\u021bi, intra\u021bi\u2026 c\u0103 doar e loc destul, nu?<\/p>\n
Copiii deja se buluceau \u00een sufragerie, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd, alerg\u00e2nd dup\u0103 sabia de plastic. Oleg tr\u00e2nti dou\u0103 cutii l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i \u0219terse fruntea cu dosul palmei. Lenu\u021ba, cu z\u00e2mbetul ei bine exersat, se a\u0219ez\u0103 la mas\u0103 ca \u0219i cum era deja st\u0103p\u00e2na casei.<\/p>\n
Inna \u00ee\u0219i sim\u021bea t\u00e2mplele puls\u00e2nd. Casa ei, refugiul ei dup\u0103 o zi de munc\u0103, devenise c\u00e2mp de popas pentru rude.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce g\u0103te\u0219ti? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Lenu\u021ba, ridic\u00e2nd capacul de pe oal\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 voie. \u2014 Hri\u0219c\u0103? Eh, copiii mei nu prea m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103, dar g\u0103sim noi ceva.<\/p>\n
Inna se uit\u0103 la ea \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103, sim\u021bi c\u0103 s-a umplut paharul. \u00cei r\u0103sunau \u00een minte vorbele bunicii ei din copil\u0103rie: \u201eFemeia e st\u00e2lpul casei, dar \u0219i st\u00e2lpul se poate pr\u0103bu\u0219i dac\u0103-l tot love\u0219ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i \u00eendrept\u0103 spatele, \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nse \u0219or\u021bul \u0219i spuse clar:
\u2014 Nu. Copiii t\u0103i m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 acas\u0103 la voi. Aici nu-i pensiune.<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba clipi surprins\u0103, iar Oleg izbucni \u00eentr-un r\u00e2s grosolan:
\u2014 Las-o, fat\u0103, c\u0103 a avut zi grea la munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar Inna nu mai t\u0103cea.
\u2014 Zi grea? \u2014 vocea ei se ridic\u0103. \u2014 \u00cen fiecare zi e grea! Muncesc, g\u0103tesc, fac curat \u0219i ce primesc? O cas\u0103 plin\u0103 de oameni care m\u0103 iau de bun\u0103!<\/p>\n
Ale\u0219, p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci t\u0103cut, \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 intervin\u0103:
\u2014 Hai, Inno, nu face scandal\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Scandal? \u2014 \u00eel \u00eentrerupse ea. \u2014 Nu, Ale\u0219. Asta nu e scandal. E adev\u0103r. Eu nu sunt sluga nim\u0103nui!<\/p>\n
Copiii se opriser\u0103 din joac\u0103, privind cu ochii mari. Lenu\u021ba ro\u0219ise, iar Oleg \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 iritarea sub o grimas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Inna \u00ee\u0219i scoase \u0219or\u021bul \u0219i \u00eel l\u0103s\u0103 pe mas\u0103.
\u2014 Vre\u021bi s\u0103 sta\u021bi aici? Foarte bine. Dar de azi \u00eenainte, fiecare g\u0103te\u0219te \u0219i m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 \u00een casa lui. Eu nu mai fac m\u00e2ncare pentru jum\u0103tate de bloc.<\/p>\n
Se duse \u00een dormitor, scoase din dulap lenjeria proasp\u0103t schimbat\u0103 \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103 str\u00e2ng\u0103 hainele murdare ale so\u021bului. A\u0219ez\u00e2ndu-le \u00eentr-un lighean, le puse \u00een fa\u021ba lui Ale\u0219.
\u2014 Tu vrei s\u0103 fii frate bun? Foarte bine. Fii. Dar so\u021b fii aici, \u00een casa ta. Sau, dac\u0103 nu, du-te \u0219i stai acolo, la ei.<\/p>\n
Se f\u0103cuse lini\u0219te. Doar tic\u0103itul ceasului din buc\u0103t\u0103rie se auzea. Oleg \u00ee\u0219i \u00eenh\u0103\u021b\u0103 cutiile \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i chema copiii:
\u2014 Hai, gata, mergem.<\/p>\n
Lenu\u021ba, cu buzele str\u00e2nse, \u00eei urma. \u00cenainte s\u0103 ias\u0103, se \u00eentoarse spre Inna:
\u2014 Puteai s\u0103 spui mai frumos.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, \u2014 r\u0103spunse Inna, cu ochii sc\u00e2nteind. \u2014 Am spus exact cum trebuie.<\/p>\n
U\u0219a se tr\u00e2nti \u0219i lini\u0219tea cobor\u00ee peste apartament. Ale\u0219 r\u0103mase cu privirea \u00een podea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Inno\u2026 poate ai dreptate\u2026<\/p>\n
Ea \u00eel privi lung.
\u2014 Nu poate, Ale\u0219. Am.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Inna a dormit lini\u0219tit\u0103. \u0218tia c\u0103 pusese o limit\u0103, una care trebuia pus\u0103 de mult. \u0218i, undeva \u00een ad\u00e2ncul sufletului, sim\u021bea c\u0103 tocmai \u00ee\u0219i rec\u0103p\u0103tase demnitatea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
