Valentina se ridic\u0103 brusc, cu privirea aprins\u0103 de furie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce e asta?! \u2014 izbucni ea, ar\u0103t\u00e2nd spre farfurie, de\u0219i era impecabil\u0103. \u2014 \u021ai-am spus f\u0103r\u0103 legume, iar asta e o frunz\u0103 de p\u0103trunjel!<\/p>\n
\u00cenainte ca Isabela s\u0103 poat\u0103 spune ceva, femeia apuc\u0103 paharul cu vin ro\u0219u \u0219i \u00eel v\u0103rs\u0103 peste rochia fetei. Lichidul se \u00eentinse ca o pat\u0103 de s\u00e2nge pe \u021bes\u0103tura alb\u0103 a uniformei.<\/p>\n
Salonul \u00eentreg se f\u0103cu brusc t\u0103cut. Doar respira\u021bia sacadat\u0103 a Valentinei se auzea, grea de nervi \u0219i arogan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Isabela sim\u021bi cum lacrimile \u00eei urc\u0103 \u00een ochi, dar le \u00eenghi\u021bi cu for\u021ba. Nu voia s\u0103 le dea satisfac\u021bia de a o vedea pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi cer scuze\u2026 \u2014 spuse \u00eencet, tremur\u00e2nd. \u2014 O s\u0103 merg s\u0103 m\u0103 schimb.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00eenainte s\u0103 fac\u0103 un pas, vocea lui Sebastian r\u0103sun\u0103 hot\u0103r\u00e2t \u00een \u00eenc\u0103pere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Valentina, ajunge! \u2014 spuse el pe un ton sc\u0103zut, dar ferm. \u2014 Ai dep\u0103\u0219it orice limit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Femeia \u00eel privi, surprins\u0103. Nu era obi\u0219nuit\u0103 ca el s\u0103-i vorbeasc\u0103 astfel \u00een public.<\/p>\n
\u2014 E doar o chelneri\u021b\u0103, Sebi, nu te mai agita! \u2014 \u00eencerc\u0103 ea s\u0103 spun\u0103, dar vocea \u00eei tremura u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
El se ridic\u0103, arunc\u00e2nd \u0219ervetul pe mas\u0103. \u2014 Nu, nu e \u201edoar o chelneri\u021b\u0103\u201d. E o fiin\u021b\u0103 uman\u0103. \u0218i tocmai i-ai aruncat vin \u00een fa\u021b\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 niciun motiv.<\/p>\n
Valentina \u00eenghe\u021b\u0103. Oamenii din jur \u00eei priveau. Murmure se auzir\u0103 printre mese.<\/p>\n
Isabela voia s\u0103 dispar\u0103, s\u0103 se topeasc\u0103 \u00een podea. Dar Carmen, directoarea, se apropie repede \u0219i o conduse cu bl\u00e2nde\u021be spre buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, draga mea, schimb\u0103-te. Nu merit\u0103 lacrimile tale, \u2014 \u00eei \u0219opti.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timp ce-\u0219i cur\u0103\u021ba rochia \u00een vestiar, Isabela auzi u\u0219a restaurantului deschiz\u00e2ndu-se cu for\u021b\u0103. C\u00e2nd ie\u0219i, \u00eel v\u0103zu pe Sebastian vorbind cu Valentina l\u00e2ng\u0103 intrare. Tonul lui era calm, dar ochii \u00eei erau plini de dezam\u0103gire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am s\u0103turat de jocurile tale, Valentina. M-am s\u0103turat de dispre\u021bul cu care tratezi oamenii. M\u00e2ine vei primi actele de divor\u021b.<\/p>\n
Femeia r\u0103mase stan\u0103 de piatr\u0103. Dincolo de furia lui, recunoscu adev\u0103rul crud: \u00eel pierduse.<\/p>\n
Sebastian se \u00eentoarse spre Isabela, care r\u0103m\u0103sese nemi\u0219cat\u0103, cu privirea \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi cer scuze, din tot sufletul, pentru ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, \u2014 spuse el sincer. \u2014 Niciun om nu ar trebui umilit a\u0219a.<\/p>\n
Ea cl\u0103tin\u0103 din cap, ru\u0219inat\u0103, \u0219i murmur\u0103: \u2014 Nu e vina dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
El z\u00e2mbi trist. \u2014 Poate c\u0103 nu, dar uneori e vina noastr\u0103 c\u00e2nd t\u0103cem prea mult.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 plecarea lor, \u00een restaurant se l\u0103s\u0103 o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103. Isabela \u00ee\u0219i relu\u0103 munca, dar ceva \u00een privirea ei se schimbase.<\/p>\n
Seara aceea o \u00eenv\u0103\u021base c\u0103 demnitatea nu se pierde \u00een fa\u021ba cruzimii, ci se \u00eent\u0103re\u0219te.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, o scrisoare sigilat\u0103 ajunse la restaurant. Era de la un avocat. \u00cen\u0103untru, un mesaj simplu:<\/p>\n
\u201eMul\u021bumesc pentru bun\u0103tatea ta \u00eentr-o lume care uitase ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 respectul. \u00cen cur\u00e2nd vei primi o scrisoare de la funda\u021bia Speran\u021ba Nou\u0103<\/em>. Consider\u0103-o un mic \u00eenceput pentru visul t\u0103u.\u201d<\/p>\n Isabela izbucni \u00een lacrimi.
