Polina sim\u021bea cum podeaua de sub picioare \u00eei fugea. Numele so\u021bului ei, rostit de o str\u0103in\u0103 cu at\u00e2ta team\u0103, p\u0103rea s\u0103 schimbe totul.<\/p>\n
Marina a inspirat ad\u00e2nc, apoi a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 El \u0219tie s\u0103 cucereasc\u0103. La \u00eenceput e fermec\u0103tor, grijuliu, face complimente\u2026 dar, mai devreme sau mai t\u00e2rziu, ascult\u0103 doar de mama lui. \u0218i, crede\u021bi-m\u0103, Oksana Ivanovna are un plan pentru fiecare pas pe care \u00eel face\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Polina a sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge pieptul. De at\u00e2tea ori \u00ee\u0219i spusese c\u0103 exagera, c\u0103 nu era dec\u00e2t gelozia ei fa\u021b\u0103 de amestecul soacrei \u00een via\u021ba lor. Dar acum, cuvintele acestei femei necunoscute \u00eei confirmau cele mai mari temeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu am pierdut apartamentul meu din centru, \u2014 a rostit Marina cu voce joas\u0103. \u2014 Totul a \u00eenceput cu ni\u0219te h\u00e2rtii. \u201eDoar o formalitate\u201d, mi-au zis. Am semnat, \u0219i \u00een c\u00e2teva luni am r\u0103mas pe drumuri. Acum stau cu chirie, \u0219i singura mea gre\u0219eal\u0103 a fost c\u0103 am avut \u00eencredere.<\/p>\n
Polina a tres\u0103rit. Se g\u00e2ndi la actele pe care Oksana \u00eei ceruse deja s\u0103 le duc\u0103 la notar. Atunci refuzase, invoc\u00e2nd lipsa timpului. Acum \u00een\u021belesese de ce soacra insista at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i dac\u0103 eu nu semnez? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Polina, mai mult ca pentru sine.<\/p>\n
Marina o privi fix, cu o privire t\u0103ioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci vor \u00eencerca altceva. Vor face tot ce le st\u0103 \u00een putere. Dar m\u0103car vei fi preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Polina \u00eenchise u\u0219a \u00eencet, r\u0103m\u00e2n\u00e2nd \u00een lini\u0219te. Ceainicul continua s\u0103 fream\u0103te, iar aburii ridica\u021bi \u00een aer o ame\u021beau. Se sim\u021bea prins\u0103 \u00eentre dou\u0103 lumi: cea a c\u0103minului proasp\u0103t renovat, unde visase s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 fericit\u0103 cu Nicolae, \u0219i cea a suspiciunii care \u00eei mu\u0219ca acum din suflet.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103 nu a mai b\u0103ut ceaiul. A r\u0103mas pe canapea, cu ochii a\u021binti\u021bi spre pere\u021bii noi, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i adune g\u00e2ndurile.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, a mers la biserica din col\u021bul str\u0103zii. Nu era o femeie foarte credincioas\u0103, dar sim\u021bea nevoia s\u0103 aprind\u0103 o lum\u00e2nare. \u00cen fa\u021ba icoanei Maicii Domnului, \u0219i-a l\u0103sat sufletul s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103: \u201eD\u0103-mi putere s\u0103 aflu adev\u0103rul. \u0218i s\u0103 nu m\u0103 pierd.\u201d<\/p>\n
Preotul b\u0103tr\u00e2n, care ie\u0219ea din altar, a z\u0103rit-o. S-a apropiat \u0219i, v\u0103z\u00e2ndu-i chipul tulburat, i-a spus simplu:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fata mea, s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 adev\u0103rul, oric\u00e2t de greu ar fi, te va elibera. S\u0103 nu-\u021bi fie team\u0103 s\u0103-l cau\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui i-au r\u0103mas \u00eentip\u0103rite \u00een minte. \u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103, Polina sim\u021bea c\u0103 nu mai putea ignora semnele.<\/p>\n
\u00cen seara urm\u0103toare, c\u00e2nd Nicolae s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103, ea \u00eel a\u0219tepta deja. Apartamentul mirosea a busuioc \u0219i a t\u0103m\u00e2ie, iar pe mas\u0103 ardea o lum\u00e2nare alb\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 vorbim, \u2014 i-a spus ea, cu o lini\u0219te stranie \u00een voce.<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit, ca \u0219i cum n-ar fi \u00een\u021beles gravitatea momentului. Dar \u00een ochii Polinei nu mai era acea naivitate de odinioar\u0103. Era hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Despre mama ta. \u0218i despre mine.<\/p>\n
Nicolae a \u00eencremenit. T\u0103cerea lui i-a confirmat tot ce trebuia s\u0103 \u0219tie.<\/p>\n
Polina nu mai era victima din povestea altcuiva. Acum era femeia care avea s\u0103 decid\u0103 singur\u0103 pentru via\u021ba ei.<\/p>\n
\u0218i-a ridicat privirea spre icoana din col\u021b \u0219i a \u00een\u021beles: niciun apartament, nicio avere, niciun plan ascuns nu mai aveau putere asupra ei.<\/p>\n
