\u2014 Eliana Martens? M\u0103 numesc Daniel Kowalski, sunt avocat. V\u0103 caut de mai bine de un an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea s-a \u00eencruntat, \u0219terg\u00e2ndu-\u0219i m\u00e2inile de \u0219or\u021b. \u00cen spatele ei, \u00een cadrul u\u0219ii buc\u0103t\u0103riei, st\u0103teau Lucas \u0219i mama lui \u2014 am\u00e2ndoi cu acea expresie superioar\u0103 \u0219i rece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pe mine? De ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Este \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu mo\u0219tenirea tat\u0103lui dumneavoastr\u0103, domnul Franz Martens. A decedat acum un an \u0219i jum\u0103tate, iar dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi singura mo\u0219tenitoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucas a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi pu\u021bin, ce tat\u0103? Mama ei a murit c\u00e2nd avea zece ani, iar de tat\u0103 nici urm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eliana a p\u0103lit. Nu mai auzise numele tat\u0103lui ei de c\u00e2nd era copil. Mama ei doar spunea c\u0103 fusese un om bogat din Germania, cu planuri mari, care \u00eens\u0103 a disp\u0103rut, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-le doar un nume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Martens, tat\u0103l dumneavoastr\u0103 v-a l\u0103sat totul: o cas\u0103 \u00een M\u00fcnchen, ac\u021biuni, conturi bancare\u2026 Valoarea total\u0103 dep\u0103\u0219e\u0219te \u0219apte milioane de euro. Ne-a fost greu s\u0103 v\u0103 g\u0103sim pentru c\u0103 v-a\u021bi schimbat numele \u0219i a\u021bi p\u0103r\u0103sit \u021bara dup\u0103 c\u0103s\u0103torie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gura lui Lucas a r\u0103mas c\u0103scat\u0103. Mariana Heinrichovna a str\u00e2ns cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde sp\u0103tarul scaunului. Iar Eliana t\u0103cea. Inima \u00eei b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te. Putea fi adev\u0103rat? Dac\u0103 da \u2014 \u00eensemna c\u0103 nu mai depinde de nimeni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu… am nevoie de timp s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc \u2014 a \u0219optit ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Desigur \u2014 a \u00eencuviin\u021bat Daniel. \u2014 Iat\u0103 cartea mea de vizit\u0103. C\u00e2nd sunte\u021bi gata, contacta\u021bi-m\u0103. Va fi necesar s\u0103 merge\u021bi la M\u00fcnchen pentru formalit\u0103\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El i-a \u00eenm\u00e2nat cartea de vizit\u0103 \u0219i a plecat. \u00cen cas\u0103 s-a l\u0103sat o lini\u0219te ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Lucas a fost primul care a rupt-o:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu \u0219tiai?! \u2014 a strigat. \u2014 Ai ascuns asta inten\u021bionat, nu-i a\u0219a? Este o glum\u0103?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiam nimic \u2014 a r\u0103spuns Eliana calm, cu privirea \u00eenc\u0103 a\u021bintit\u0103 spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ei bine, \u00een cazul \u0103sta \u2014 a spus Mariana cu un z\u00e2mbet fals \u2014 faci parte cu adev\u0103rat din familia noastr\u0103. Te vom sus\u021bine. Familia este tot ce conteaz\u0103, nu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eliana s-a \u00eentors spre ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Familie? Voi? \u2014 a z\u00e2mbit amar. \u2014 Unde era\u021bi c\u00e2nd mi-am pierdut copilul? C\u00e2nd pl\u00e2ngeam noaptea din cauza umilin\u021belor voastre? C\u00e2nd m\u0103 trata\u021bi ca pe o servitoare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eliana, nu exagera \u2014 a \u00eencercat Lucas. \u2014 Asta a fost \u00een trecut. Putem s\u0103 o lu\u0103m de la cap\u0103t. Mergem \u00eempreun\u0103 la M\u00fcnchen, \u00ee\u021bi cump\u0103r ceva frumos, \u00eentotdeauna ai vrut o rochie…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea s-a dat un pas \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 atinge. Ani la r\u00e2nd m-ai f\u0103cut s\u0103 m\u0103 simt ca un nimeni. Iar acum, c\u00e2nd afli c\u0103 am bani, \u00ee\u021bi aduci aminte c\u0103 sunt so\u021bia ta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eliana, te rog\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Plec. Nu pentru bani. Pentru mine. Pentru c\u0103 m-am s\u0103turat s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc \u00eentr-o colivie, s\u0103 fiu o umbr\u0103. Tu nu meri\u021bi s\u0103 fii l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine \u2014 vocea \u00eei tremura, dar \u00een privirea ei ardea hot\u0103r\u00e2rea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mers \u00een dormitor \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt, \u0219i-a f\u0103cut bagajul. Mariana murmura ceva, dar Eliana nu mai asculta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd u\u0219a de la intrare s-a tr\u00e2ntit \u00een urma ei, Lucas a fugit la geam \u0219i a privit cum ea se \u00eendep\u0103rta f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite \u00eenapoi. Nu \u0219tia ce s\u0103 spun\u0103. Abia acum \u00een\u021belegea pe cine pierduse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00fcnchen a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat-o cu r\u0103ceal\u0103, arhitectur\u0103 impun\u0103toare \u0219i aroma cafelei de diminea\u021b\u0103. \u00cen biroul notarului i s-au \u00eenm\u00e2nat cheile vilei, lista ac\u021biunilor \u0219i o scrisoare. De la tat\u0103l ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDraga mea Eliana. Iart\u0103-m\u0103 c\u0103 nu am fost l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine. Am fost un la\u0219. Dar tot ce am este acum al t\u0103u. Folose\u0219te totul ca s\u0103 devii puternic\u0103. Tr\u0103ie\u0219te. Nu te mai uita \u00eenapoi. Meri\u021bi ce e mai bun.\u201d
\u2013 Tat\u0103l t\u0103u, Franz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a str\u00e2ns scrisoarea \u00een m\u00e2ini, privind pe fereastr\u0103 spre str\u0103zile unui ora\u0219 care odinioar\u0103 \u00eei era str\u0103in, dar acum era al ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mul\u021bi ani, era liber\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu datorit\u0103 banilor. Ci pentru c\u0103 durerea nu mai avea putere asupra ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eliana a \u00eenchiriat un mic apartament \u00een centru, s-a \u00eenscris la cursuri de design vestimentar \u2014 visul ei din copil\u0103rie. Averea \u00eei permitea multe, dar ea pre\u021buia cel mai mult libertatea de a alege: ce s\u0103 fac\u0103, cum s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103, ce s\u0103 simt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eel visa pe Lucas. Vocea lui, mereu sarcastic\u0103, \u00eei r\u0103suna \u00een minte. Dar \u00een fiecare diminea\u021b\u0103 se trezea z\u00e2mbind \u2014 pentru c\u0103 vocea aceea nu mai avea nicio putere asupra ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218ase luni mai t\u00e2rziu, la o expozi\u021bie de design pentru tineri creatori, Eliana \u0219i-a prezentat prima colec\u021bie. Siluete simple, linii curate, culori calde. Inspira\u021bia fusese satul unde a copil\u0103rit. Rochiile ei p\u0103reau amintiri \u2014 triste\u021be \u0219i lumin\u0103 \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Publicul a aplaudat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen primul r\u00e2nd st\u0103tea Daniel Kowalski \u2014 acela\u0219i avocat care, odinioar\u0103, i-a b\u0103tut la u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A fost\u2026 incredibil \u2014 i-a spus c\u00e2nd s-a apropiat. \u2014 A\u021bi reu\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Abia am \u00eenceput \u2014 a r\u0103spuns ea z\u00e2mbind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
