Emilia sim\u021bea cum aerul i se taie. Timpul p\u0103rea s\u0103 se fi oprit. B\u0103rbatul pe care \u00eel v\u0103zuse inert at\u00e2tea luni o privea acum cu ochi limpezi, confuzi, dar vii.<\/p>\n
\u201eUnde… sunt?\u201d, a murmurat el, vocea r\u0103gu\u0219it\u0103 ca dup\u0103 un vis lung.<\/p>\n
Ea a clipit de mai multe ori, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i recapete calmul. \u201eLa spital… e\u0219ti la Sf\u00e2ntul Luca. Ai avut un accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexandru a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, dar corpul i-a cedat. Emilia i-a sprijinit u\u0219or umerii, tremur\u00e2nd. \u201eNu te for\u021ba, te rog. Ai fost \u00een com\u0103\u2026 \u0219ase luni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Privirea lui s-a oprit pe chipul ei, cercet\u00e2nd-o. \u201e\u0218ase luni?\u201d a repetat el, aproape \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103. \u201e\u0218i\u2026 tu e\u0219ti?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eEmilia. Asistenta ta.\u201d<\/p>\n
O lini\u0219te grea s-a a\u0219ternut \u00eentre ei, spart\u0103 doar de sunetul aparatului care \u00eei monitoriza b\u0103t\u0103ile inimii. \u00cen aer plutea o tensiune ciudat\u0103, un amestec de uimire, team\u0103 \u0219i ceva ce niciunul nu putea numi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, vestea c\u0103 \u201emiliardarul din com\u0103\u201d se trezise s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit \u00een tot spitalul. Medicii veneau s\u0103-l vad\u0103, presa voia declara\u021bii, iar rudele \u00eendep\u0103rtate ap\u0103ruser\u0103 brusc cu lacrimi \u0219i z\u00e2mbete false.<\/p>\n
Dar Alexandru cerea mereu acela\u0219i lucru: \u201eUnde e asistenta mea de noapte?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emilia \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i fac\u0103 treaba ca de obicei, dar to\u021bi o priveau ciudat. \u00cei era team\u0103 c\u0103 el \u00ee\u0219i amintea\u2026 s\u0103rutul. C\u0103 avea s\u0103 o dea afar\u0103, poate chiar s\u0103 o acuze.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd intrase s\u0103-i aduc\u0103 tratamentul, el o a\u0219tepta cu ochii deschi\u0219i, un z\u00e2mbet abia schi\u021bat pe buze. \u201eAi fost aici \u00een fiecare noapte, nu-i a\u0219a?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ea a ezitat. \u201eDa. Asta era datoria mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu doar at\u00e2t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui i-au t\u0103iat respira\u021bia. \u201eNu \u00een\u021beleg…\u201d<\/p>\n
El a ridicat m\u00e2na slab\u0103 \u0219i i-a atins degetele. \u201eAm auzit tot. Nu mereu clar, dar\u2026 \u0219tiam c\u0103 e\u0219ti acolo. Vocea ta. Cuvintele tale. \u0218i\u2026 acel s\u0103rut.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emilia a \u00eenlemnit. \u201eA fost o prostie. Nu trebuia\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eBa da,\u201d a spus el, z\u00e2mbind pentru prima dat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat. \u201eAcel gest m-a adus \u00eenapoi. M-ai trezit, Emilia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lacrimile i-au umplut ochii. Nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103. Lumea p\u0103rea dintr-o dat\u0103 altfel.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, Alexandru a \u00eenceput recuperarea. Refuza spitale private, insista s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 acolo, unde se sim\u021bea dator. \u00ce\u0219i pierduse o parte din memorie, dar nu \u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2rea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a fost externat, Emilia a crezut c\u0103 totul s-a terminat. \u00cei l\u0103sase un bile\u021bel simplu: \u201eMul\u021bumesc. Ai fost lumina din nop\u021bile mele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar via\u021ba avea alte planuri.<\/p>\n
La o lun\u0103 dup\u0103, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 ploioas\u0103, cineva a b\u0103tut la u\u0219a apartamentului ei modest. C\u00e2nd a deschis, Alexandru st\u0103tea acolo, sprijinit \u00eentr-un baston, cu un buchet de crini albi.<\/p>\n
\u201eMi-ai spus odat\u0103 c\u0103 nu crezi \u00een basme,\u201d i-a zis el, privind-o \u00een ochi. \u201eDar eu am tr\u0103it unul. Cu tine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emilia a z\u00e2mbit prin lacrimi. Poate c\u0103 nu toate pove\u0219tile se termin\u0103 cu \u201eau tr\u0103it ferici\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la ad\u00e2nci b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u021bi\u201d, dar unele \u00eencep exact a\u0219a \u2014 cu un s\u0103rut nebunesc, \u00eentr-o noapte lini\u0219tit\u0103, \u0219i o inim\u0103 care a \u00eendr\u0103znit s\u0103 cread\u0103 din nou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
