Ion a oftat, ridic\u00e2nd din umeri, ca un copil prins cu m\u00e2na \u00een borcanul cu dulcea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e vorba de \u201eal cui e ce\u201d, \u2014 morm\u0103i el. \u2014 E vorba de principiu. Eu sunt b\u0103rbatul casei.<\/p>\n
Nastasia s-a \u00eentors spre el \u00eencet, cu o privire rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 B\u0103rbatul casei? De c\u00e2nd? C\u00e2nd ai montat un bec sau ai pl\u0103tit o factur\u0103? Sau c\u00e2nd ai fugit la mama ta dup\u0103 fiecare ceart\u0103?<\/p>\n
El a t\u0103cut. \u0218i-a b\u0103ut ceaiul, uit\u00e2ndu-se pe fereastr\u0103. Afar\u0103, ninsoarea de noiembrie \u00eencepuse s\u0103 acopere ora\u0219ul cu un strat sub\u021bire, curat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Eu nu vreau scandal, \u2014 zise el \u00een cele din urm\u0103. \u2014 Dar mama are dreptate: o familie \u00eenseamn\u0103 totul \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Perfect. Atunci \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bim \u0219i cheltuielile, \u2014 a spus Nastasia, calm\u0103, dar cu o voce de o\u021bel. \u2014 M\u00e2ine vine \u00eentre\u021binerea, peste dou\u0103 zile rata la frigider, \u0219i facturile la curent.<\/p>\n
Ion s-a f\u00e2st\u00e2cit. A r\u00e2s scurt, st\u00e2njenit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, nu fi a\u0219a. \u0218tii c\u0103 acum e mai greu la lucru.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da, \u0219tiu. De doi ani e \u201emai greu\u201d. Dar \u00een garaj nu par s\u0103 lipseasc\u0103 nici berea, nici prietenii.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cerea s-a a\u0219ezat \u00eentre ei ca un zid. Doar tic\u0103itul ceasului se mai auzea.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, el s-a ridicat, bomb\u0103nind:
\u2014 M\u0103 duc p\u00e2n\u0103 jos, la b\u0103ie\u021bi. Revin.<\/p>\n
Nastasia n-a spus nimic. A r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103, privind cum u\u0219a se \u00eenchide \u00een urma lui. Apoi s-a dus la sertar, a scos trusa de scule \u0219i a schimbat broasca. Mi\u0219c\u0103ri sigure, hot\u0103r\u00e2te. Fiecare rotire a \u0219urubelni\u021bei era o eliberare.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a terminat, s-a a\u0219ezat pe canapea. Apartamentul era lini\u0219tit. Curat. Numai al ei.<\/p>\n
Telefonul a sunat. Galina. A privit ecranul c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi a ap\u0103sat \u201erespinge\u201d. Apoi, cu un gest calm, a blocat num\u0103rul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua urm\u0103toare, Ion s-a \u00eentors \u0219i a \u00eencercat cheia. N-a mai mers. A b\u0103tut tare, a strigat. Dar Nastasia, din spatele u\u0219ii, a rostit doar dou\u0103 cuvinte, cu o voce lini\u0219tit\u0103, dar t\u0103ioas\u0103:
\u2014 Du-te acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, zgomotele s-au stins.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, la munc\u0103, Nastasia a sim\u021bit o u\u0219urare ciudat\u0103. Colegele au observat z\u00e2mbetul ei calm \u0219i ochii limpezi. \u201eCeva s-a schimbat \u00een tine\u201d, i-a spus una. Ea doar a r\u0103spuns:
\u2014 Da. Acum, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, tr\u0103iesc \u00een casa mea.<\/p>\n
Seara, c\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors, a aprins o lum\u00e2nare parfumat\u0103 \u0219i a f\u0103cut o can\u0103 de ceai. \u00cen buc\u0103t\u0103rie mirosea a lini\u0219te. A libertate.<\/p>\n
A deschis geamul, iar aerul rece de noiembrie i-a m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat fa\u021ba.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu: uneori, s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i singur nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 pierzi. \u00censeamn\u0103, de fapt, s\u0103-\u021bi recape\u021bi via\u021ba.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit \u0219i a \u0219optit, ca pentru sine:
\u2014 \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, acas\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
