Zina s-a ridicat \u00een t\u0103cere, a luat cana de pe mas\u0103 \u0219i a sp\u0103lat-o mecanic, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic. Apa cald\u0103 \u00eei curgea peste degete, dar ea sim\u021bea doar un gol rece \u00een piept. Se tot \u00eentreba unde s-a pierdut acel b\u0103rbat care, pe vremuri, o f\u0103cea s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 \u0219i o \u00eencuraja s\u0103 mearg\u0103 mai departe.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-au c\u0103s\u0103torit, \u00eel admira pentru calmul lui, pentru modul \u00een care vorbea despre planuri \u0219i despre un viitor \u00eempreun\u0103. Dar acum… acum p\u0103rea c\u0103 tr\u0103iau \u00een lumi diferite. Ea muncea, el c\u0103uta motive. Ea aducea bani acas\u0103, el aducea repro\u0219uri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 cert\u0103m, Mihai, \u2014 a spus ea \u00eentr-un final, \u0219terg\u00e2ndu-\u0219i m\u00e2inile de un prosop. \u2014 Dar \u0219tii bine c\u0103 ratele nu se pl\u0103tesc singure.<\/p>\n
El s-a l\u0103sat pe spate \u00een scaun \u0219i a oftat.
\u2014 Totul se reduce la bani, nu? La bani \u0219i la repro\u0219uri.<\/p>\n
Zina l-a privit. \u00cen ochii lui nu mai era dorin\u021b\u0103, ci doar o oboseal\u0103 amestecat\u0103 cu orgoliu r\u0103nit. Ar fi vrut s\u0103-l \u00een\u021beleag\u0103, dar era greu c\u00e2nd zi de zi sim\u021bea greutatea lumii doar pe umerii ei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, \u2014 a spus ea \u00eencet. \u2014 Totul se reduce la responsabilitate.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Zina a plecat la serviciu mai devreme dec\u00e2t de obicei. \u00cen bloc era lini\u0219te, doar liftul sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2ia din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd. \u00cen buzunar, telefonul vibra \u2014 un mesaj de la \u0219ef\u0103: \u201ePreg\u0103te\u0219te documentele pentru deplasare. Plecarea e luni.\u201d<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a ajuns la birou, colega ei, Irina, i-a aruncat o privire plin\u0103 de compasiune.
\u2014 Din nou pleci?
\u2014 Da. N-a fost chip s\u0103 scap.
\u2014 Mihai ce zice?
\u2014 Ce s\u0103 zic\u0103… c\u0103 plec prea des.<\/p>\n
Zina a z\u00e2mbit amar. \u0218tia c\u0103 dup\u0103 dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni se va \u00eentoarce acas\u0103 tot ea obosit\u0103, dar cu facturile pl\u0103tite. \u0218i tot ea va g\u0103ti, va sp\u0103la \u0219i va \u00eencerca s\u0103 p\u0103streze o aparen\u021b\u0103 de lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Seara, c\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors, Mihai st\u0103tea la calculator.
\u2014 M\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam, \u2014 a spus el f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103, \u2014 poate c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 vin \u0219i eu cu tine. Poate g\u0103sesc ceva de lucru acolo.
\u2014 Nu se poate, e zon\u0103 \u00eenchis\u0103 pentru civili. \u0218i oricum, nu \u021bi-ar pl\u0103cea frigul de acolo, \u2014 a spus ea, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 surprinderea.<\/p>\n
El a t\u0103cut. C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, a \u00eenchis laptopul \u0219i s-a apropiat de ea.
\u2014 \u0218tii, nu e u\u0219or pentru mine. S\u0103 m\u0103 trezesc \u0219i s\u0103 te \u0219tiu mereu plecat\u0103…
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar nici pentru mine nu e u\u0219or s\u0103 plec, Mihai. Doar c\u0103 cineva trebuie s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 casa asta pe picioare.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, ea \u0219i-a f\u0103cut bagajele. A pus hainele cu grij\u0103, a \u00eemp\u0103turit o fotografie cu am\u00e2ndoi \u0219i a pus-o \u00een buzunarul interior al hainei. Apoi, \u00eenainte s\u0103 \u00eenchid\u0103 valiza, a ezitat.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat \u00een jur \u2014 apartamentul acela, cump\u0103rat cu banii ei, era singura dovad\u0103 c\u0103 nu se l\u0103sase dobor\u00e2t\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd Mihai a venit \u00een hol, i-a spus lini\u0219tit\u0103:
\u2014 Cheile sunt la locul lor. Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 pleci la mama ta c\u00e2t sunt eu plecat\u0103, n-am nimic \u00eempotriv\u0103.<\/p>\n
El s-a uitat lung la ea, dar n-a spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, Zina s-a \u00eentors. Apartamentul era gol. Pe mas\u0103, un bilet:
\u201eIart\u0103-m\u0103, am nevoie de timp s\u0103-mi g\u0103sesc drumul. Poate \u00eentr-o zi o s\u0103 te merit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zina s-a a\u0219ezat pe canapea, \u0219i-a tras sufletul ad\u00e2nc \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit amar.
\u2014 Poate c\u0103 e mai bine a\u0219a, \u2014 a murmurat ea. \u2014 Poate c\u0103, uneori, lini\u0219tea cost\u0103 mai pu\u021bin dec\u00e2t dragostea care te apas\u0103.<\/p>\n
A privit pe fereastr\u0103. Soarele cobora peste blocuri, iar \u00een lumina aceea cald\u0103, Zina a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu pierduse nimic. Doar c\u00e2\u0219tigase libertatea de a \u00eencepe din nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
