Vlad a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat, privind \u00een jurul casei care nu mai era a lui. Fiecare col\u021b p\u0103rea s\u0103-i spun\u0103 c\u0103 timpul nu st\u0103 pe loc pentru nimeni. C\u0103, uneori, pleci crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 e\u0219ti de ne\u00eenlocuit, dar te \u00eentorci \u0219i descoperi c\u0103 lumea a mers mai departe, f\u0103r\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
Marina s-a aplecat u\u0219or peste mas\u0103, a luat scrisoarea \u0219i a pus-o \u00eentr-o carte. Nici m\u0103car nu a sim\u021bit nevoia s\u0103-i explice ce era. Z\u00e2mbetul ei t\u0103cut spunea mai mult dec\u00e2t o mie de cuvinte.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi mai aminte\u0219ti, i-a spus ea, dar \u021bi-am zis odat\u0103 c\u0103 o femeie nu pleac\u0103 niciodat\u0103 prima. Ea doar renun\u021b\u0103 c\u00e2nd \u00een\u021belege c\u0103 nu mai are pentru cine s\u0103 lupte.<\/p>\n
Vlad a vrut s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva, dar cuvintele i s-au blocat \u00een g\u00e2t. A privit m\u00e2inile ei \u2014 nu mai erau acelea\u0219i. Nu tremurau, nu-l mai c\u0103utau, nu-l mai chemau. Erau m\u00e2inile unei femei care \u00ee\u0219i g\u0103sise pacea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am gre\u0219it, Marina…<\/p>\n
Ea a dat u\u0219or din cap.
\u2014 \u0218tiu. Dar uneori, gre\u0219elile nu se repar\u0103. Se accept\u0103. \u0218i se \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 din ele.<\/p>\n
Pe pervaz, un ghiveci cu lavand\u0103 \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tia un miros calm. Vlad \u0219i-a amintit cum o tachina odat\u0103 c\u0103 umple casa cu flori. Acum, parfumul acela i se p\u0103rea o binecuv\u00e2ntare \u0219i o pedeaps\u0103 \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am crezut c\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 a\u0219tep\u021bi, a spus el cu o voce joas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a am crezut \u0219i eu, c\u0103 o s\u0103 te \u00eentorci. Dar \u00eentre timp am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 a\u0219teptarea nu e iubire, e durere. \u0218i m-am s\u0103turat s\u0103 doar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen t\u0103cerea aceea grea, un ceas b\u0103tea undeva \u00een fundal. Fiecare tic-tac p\u0103rea o amintire care se stingea.<\/p>\n
Vlad a privit \u00een jur, c\u0103ut\u00e2nd urme din via\u021ba lui de alt\u0103dat\u0103. Pe pere\u021bi, tablourile Marinei \u2014 pline de culoare, curaj \u0219i lumin\u0103 \u2014 erau dovada c\u0103 durerea ei se transformase \u00een art\u0103. \u00cen for\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai pictat toate astea?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. \u00cen fiecare noapte \u00een care nu puteam dormi, puneam pensula pe p\u00e2nz\u0103. A\u0219a am scos din mine tot ce-ai l\u0103sat.<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit amar.
\u2014 Nu te mai recunosc.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nici eu nu m\u0103 mai recunosc, a spus ea, dar \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it \u00eemi place femeia care sunt.<\/p>\n
O lini\u0219te plin\u0103 de sens a plutit \u00eentre ei. Marina a f\u0103cut un pas spre u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i i-a ar\u0103tat cu privirea calea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vlad, \u00ee\u021bi doresc s\u0103 fii bine. Cu adev\u0103rat bine. Dar locul t\u0103u nu mai e aici.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a clipit de c\u00e2teva ori, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 opreasc\u0103 lacrimile care \u00eel ardeau. A vrut s\u0103 o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219eze, dar ea s-a retras u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Marina, te mai g\u00e2nde\u0219ti vreodat\u0103 la noi?<\/p>\n
Ea a z\u00e2mbit trist.
\u2014 Da. Dar nu cu dor. Cu recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 tine, n-a\u0219 fi ajuns s\u0103 m\u0103 iubesc pe mine.<\/p>\n
Vlad a ie\u0219it \u00een curte. Aerul rece i-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia. \u00cen spatele lui, u\u0219a s-a \u00eenchis \u00eencet, f\u0103r\u0103 zgomot. Definitiv.<\/p>\n
A cobor\u00e2t treptele ca un om care \u00ee\u0219i duce singur pedeapsa. \u00cen m\u00e2na dreapt\u0103 str\u00e2ngea cheile pe care le p\u0103strase trei ani degeaba. Le-a privit pentru o clip\u0103, apoi le-a aruncat \u00een iarba ud\u0103.<\/p>\n
Marina l-a privit de la fereastr\u0103. Nu mai sim\u021bea ur\u0103, nici regret. Doar o pace ad\u00e2nc\u0103, aceea pe care o sim\u021bi c\u00e2nd \u0219tii c\u0103 tot ce era de spus s-a spus.<\/p>\n
Apoi s-a \u00eentors la \u0219evalet, \u0219i-a prins p\u0103rul la spate \u0219i a \u00eenceput un nou tablou. Pe p\u00e2nz\u0103, culorile se amestecau \u00eentr-un apus cald, iar \u00een col\u021bul drept, o siluet\u0103 feminin\u0103 mergea \u00eenainte, singur\u0103, dar liber\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, Marina a sim\u021bit c\u0103 e acas\u0103. \u00cen sufletul ei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
