Mihai a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde f\u0103r\u0103 reac\u021bie. Se uita la ea, cu p\u0103rul r\u0103v\u0103\u0219it \u0219i ochii umfla\u021bi de pl\u00e2ns, \u0219i nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103. \u00centr-o parte a min\u021bii \u00eei r\u0103suna vocea prietenului s\u0103u, omul cu care \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bise at\u00e2tea veri \u0219i ierni, iar \u00een cealalt\u0103, inima \u00eei b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te, sim\u021bind din nou fiorul acela vechi pe care crezuse c\u0103-l pierduse.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bine, Marina, o s\u0103 te ajut, zice el \u00eencet. Dar trebuie s\u0103 te g\u00e2nde\u0219ti bine la ce faci.<\/p>\n
Ea d\u0103du din cap, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic. \u00cei tremura b\u0103rbia. Mihai a scos trusa de scule din debara \u0219i s-a dus cu ea la apartamentul unde locuise Marina cu Nicu. C\u00e2nd a deschis u\u0219a, apartamentul mirosea a parfum amestecat cu fum de \u021bigar\u0103. Pe mas\u0103, o sticl\u0103 de vin r\u0103sturnat\u0103 \u0219i un buchet de flori vechi, uscate.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Aici era casa noastr\u0103, a \u0219optit ea. Dar nu mai pot, Mihai. M\u0103 minte, m\u0103 controleaz\u0103, \u00eemi vorbe\u0219te ur\u00e2t\u2026 \u0219i mai e \u0219i altcineva \u00een via\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n
Mihai n-a zis nimic. Doar a schimbat yala, \u00een lini\u0219te. La fiecare sunet de \u0219urubelni\u021b\u0103, parc\u0103 se desprindea de trecutul acela greu, plin de tr\u0103dare. C\u00e2nd a terminat, Marina l-a privit cu o recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 ciudat\u0103, o combina\u021bie de ru\u0219ine \u0219i dor.<\/p>\n
Au mers din nou la el acas\u0103. Ea i-a mul\u021bumit, i-a spus c\u0103 nu \u0219tie ce s-ar fi f\u0103cut f\u0103r\u0103 el, iar Mihai a \u00eencercat s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103, de\u0219i \u00een sufletul lui era o furtun\u0103. Toat\u0103 ziua a tot g\u00e2ndit la noaptea aceea. Cum o mai iube\u0219te, de fapt. Cum n-a uitat niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, Marina s-a mutat temporar la el. Dormea pe canapea, dar serile st\u0103teau la pove\u0219ti ca odinioar\u0103. R\u00e2deau, g\u0103teau \u00eempreun\u0103, iar \u00eentr-o sear\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama, ea \u0219i-a pus capul pe um\u0103rul lui. A fost o clip\u0103 t\u0103cut\u0103, dar plin\u0103 de tot ce n-au spus niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Nicu a ap\u0103rut la u\u0219\u0103. B\u0103tea tare, ca un om care nu mai \u0219tie ce face.
\u2013 Unde e Marina? \u2013 a strigat. \u2013 Mihai, deschide!<\/p>\n
Mihai a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat. Marina tremura.
\u2013 Las\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 vorbesc cu el, zise ea.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it afar\u0103, iar Mihai a privit pe geam. L-a v\u0103zut pe Nicu \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 o prind\u0103 de bra\u021b, dar ea s-a tras \u00eenapoi. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, Nicu a plecat, tr\u00e2ntind portiera ma\u0219inii. Marina a intrat \u00eenapoi \u00een cas\u0103, cu ochii ro\u0219ii, dar cu spatele drept.
\u2013 S-a terminat, a zis simplu. Nu mai e nimic de salvat.<\/p>\n
De atunci, lucrurile s-au schimbat. Mihai a \u00eencetat s\u0103 se mai g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la ce vor spune ceilal\u021bi. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 o priveasc\u0103 pe Marina nu ca pe o femeie care l-a r\u0103nit, ci ca pe o femeie care a gre\u0219it \u0219i acum pl\u0103te\u0219te pre\u021bul.<\/p>\n
Au trecut luni. \u00cencet, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama, au redevenit un \u201enoi\u201d. O dragoste mai t\u0103cut\u0103, mai matur\u0103. Nu mai era ca la \u00eenceputuri, cu fluturi \u0219i promisiuni, ci una \u00een care doi oameni se sprijineau, se iertau \u0219i \u00eenv\u0103\u021bau din nou s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Mihai i-a zis:
\u2013 \u021ai-aduci aminte noaptea aia? Cea \u00een care ai b\u0103tut la u\u0219a mea?
\u2013 Cum s\u0103 nu, a z\u00e2mbit ea. A fost cea mai grea noapte din via\u021ba mea.
\u2013 Pentru mine, a fost \u00eenceputul uneia noi, a spus el, \u0219i i-a atins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
De afar\u0103 se auzeau greierii, iar lumina cald\u0103 a l\u0103mpii le desena umbrele pe perete. Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, Mihai sim\u021bea c\u0103 inima lui e acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Uneori, via\u021ba \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 o a doua \u0219ans\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd nu mai crezi \u00een ea. Trebuie doar s\u0103 ai curajul s-o deschizi\u2026 chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd bate la u\u0219\u0103 \u00een miez de noapte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
