Oleg a tr\u00e2ntit u\u0219a frigiderului cu o for\u021b\u0103 at\u00e2t de mare \u00eenc\u00e2t lucrurile din interior s-au cl\u0103tinat, iar unul dintre magne\u021bii care decorau suprafa\u021ba s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe podea cu un sunet surd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lena st\u0103tea \u00een fa\u021ba lui, palid\u0103, cu pumnii str\u00e2n\u0219i tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eEi bine, te sim\u021bi mai bine acum?\u201d a expir\u0103 rapid, ridic\u00e2ndu-\u0219i b\u0103rbia cu o privire sfid\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eM\u0103 faci pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 \u00eennebunesc,\u201d vocea lui Oleg a cr\u0103pat, de\u0219i \u00eencerca s\u0103 o \u021bin\u0103 calm\u0103. \u201eCe fel de via\u021b\u0103 e asta? F\u0103r\u0103 bucurie, f\u0103r\u0103 viitor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDeci acum e din nou vina mea?\u201d Lena a r\u00e2s, dar sunetul era amar. \u201eDesigur, totul nu e a\u0219a perfect cum \u021bi-ai dori tu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oleg a deschis gura ca s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103, dar a f\u0103cut doar un gest de dispre\u021b cu m\u00e2na. A desf\u0103cut o sticl\u0103 de ap\u0103 mineral\u0103, a b\u0103ut un strop direct din g\u00e2t \u0219i a pus-o pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eOleg, nu t\u0103cea,\u201d vocea Lenei tremura. \u201eSpune-mi ce e \u00een neregul\u0103?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCe s\u0103 mai spun?\u201d a r\u0103spuns el cu un z\u00e2mbet ironic. \u201eDac\u0103 ar fi\u2026 dar nu ai \u00een\u021belege. M-am s\u0103turat de toate astea. La dracu\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-au privit \u00een t\u0103cere c\u00e2teva secunde. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103, Lena a tras o ad\u00e2nc\u0103 gur\u0103 de aer \u0219i a mers la baie. Oleg s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe canapea. Din spatele u\u0219ii se auzea sunetul apei curg\u00e2nd: Lena probabil a deschis robinetul pentru a-\u0219i acoperi lacrimile. Dar Oleg \u0219i-a prins g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 nu-i mai p\u0103sa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oleg \u0219i Lena fuseser\u0103 c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi de trei ani. Locuiau \u00een apartamentul Lenei, pe care ea \u00eel mo\u0219tenise de la p\u0103rin\u021bii ei. Dup\u0103 ce s-au pensionat, p\u0103rin\u021bii ei s-au mutat \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 de la \u021bar\u0103, iar apartamentul din ora\u0219 a fost transferat fiicei lor. Apartamentul era spa\u021bios, dar cu o renovare simpl\u0103, iar mobilierul era aproape din perioada sovietic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00eenceput, Oleg era mul\u021bumit: p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, apartamentul era aproape de centrul ora\u0219ului, aproape de locul de munc\u0103, \u00eentr-o zon\u0103 decent\u0103. Dar dup\u0103 \u0219ase luni, rutina zilnic\u0103 a \u00eenceput s\u0103-l enerveze. Lena se sim\u021bea confortabil \u00een fort\u0103rea\u021ba ei familial\u0103 cu tapetul maro familiar \u0219i cu bufetul bunicii. Oleg, \u00eens\u0103, considera totul prea plictisitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLena, explic\u0103-mi,\u201d \u00eencepuse el de mai multe ori aceea\u0219i discu\u021bie. \u201eNu vrei s\u0103 schimbi acel linoleum galben groaznic? Sau s\u0103 refaci tapetul? S\u0103 faci totul modern, elegant?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eOleg, nu avem banii necesari pentru o renovare major\u0103 acum,\u201d r\u0103spunsese ea, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 calm. \u201eDesigur, mi-ar pl\u0103cea s\u0103 schimb totul, dar hai s\u0103 a\u0219tept\u0103m bonusul sau s\u0103 economisim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eS\u0103 a\u0219tept\u0103m?! Asta e toat\u0103 via\u021ba ta \u2014 s\u0103 a\u0219tep\u021bi, s\u0103 \u00eenduri.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oleg \u00ee\u0219i amintea adesea cum a cunoscut-o pe Lena. Era o student\u0103 modest\u0103, dar ochii ei alba\u0219tri \u0219i z\u00e2mbetul bl\u00e2nd l-au cucerit. Le spusese prietenilor: \u201eV\u0103d un boboc de floare \u00een ea \u2014 a\u0219tepta\u021bi doar p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd va \u00eenflori \u0219i to\u021bi vor r\u0103m\u00e2ne uimi\u021bi.\u201d Acum, p\u0103rea dezam\u0103git: \u201eNu a \u00eenflorit; a ofilit de la r\u0103d\u0103cin\u0103,\u201d g\u00e2ndea el, privind-o pe Lena cum \u0219tergea praful de pe vaze fragile ale mamei ei, hr\u0103nea un pisoi g\u0103sit pe strad\u0103 sau ajusta rame cu fotografii din copil\u0103rie pe pere\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Lena nu se sim\u021bea ca o \u201e\u0219oricic\u0103 gri\u201d: ea pur \u0219i simplu tr\u0103ia a\u0219a cum credea c\u0103 e corect. Lucrurile mici o bucurau \u2014 o \u0219erve\u021bel nou, o sear\u0103 lini\u0219tit\u0103 cu o carte, o can\u0103 de ceai cu ment\u0103, lumina cald\u0103 a unei l\u0103mpi de birou. Oleg, \u00eens\u0103, considera acest lucru stagnare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Totu\u0219i, \u00een ciuda pl\u00e2ngerilor constante, nu voia s\u0103 divor\u021beze \u2014 ad\u00e2nc \u00een suflet, g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103seasc\u0103 apartamentul convenabil \u0219i s\u0103 se mute la p\u0103rin\u021bi, cu care nu se \u00een\u021belegea niciodat\u0103, \u00eel \u021binea pe loc. Mai ales c\u0103 mama lui, Tamara Ilyinichna, tindea s\u0103 ia partea so\u021biei \u00een orice discu\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eFiule, gre\u0219e\u0219ti,\u201d spunea ea adesea. \u201eLena este o fat\u0103 minunat\u0103, o fat\u0103 de\u0219teapt\u0103. Locuie\u0219ti \u00een apartamentul ei\u2026 fii fericit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMam\u0103, cum ai \u0219ti?\u201d morm\u0103ia Oleg. \u201eCe \u00een\u021belegi tu din via\u021b\u0103? Te-ai blocat, la fel ca Lena, \u00een epoca pietrei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tamara Ilyinichna suspina: fiul ei se dep\u0103rtase de mult. Tat\u0103l lui, Igor Sergeyevich, cunosc\u00e2nd temperamentul lui Oleg, nu spunea dec\u00e2t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLas\u0103-l s\u0103 se descurce, Tamara, nu te amesteca.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centre timp, Oleg ajungea acas\u0103 \u0219i devenea tot mai furios: \u201eLena este ca o umbr\u0103, o \u0219oricic\u0103 gri, \u0219i chiar m-a legat de acest apartament,\u201d \u00ee\u0219i tot spunea el. \u00cen timpul unei alte certuri, strigase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAm v\u0103zut c\u00e2ndva o floare frumoas\u0103 \u00een tine! \u0218i acum? Tr\u0103iesc cu un boboc \u00eenghe\u021bat\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci Lena a pl\u00e2ns pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een mul\u021bi ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i \u00een acea zi fierbinte \u2014 aceea\u0219i zi \u00een care totul a \u00eenceput \u2014 au discutat serios despre divor\u021b pentru prima dat\u0103. Oleg st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103, urm\u0103rind vecinii din casa opus\u0103 cum puneau haine pe balcon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLena, sunt obosit,\u201d a spus el lini\u0219tit, continu\u00e2nd s\u0103 priveasc\u0103 prin geam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eE\u0219ti obosit\u2026 de ce?\u201d \u00eencerc\u0103 ea s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDe via\u021ba asta, de certurile noastre nesf\u00e2r\u0219ite. E\u0219ti blocat\u0103 \u00een oalele tale \u0219i \u0219erve\u021belele tale. Crezi c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 las anii s\u0103 treac\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 rost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lena a t\u0103cut o clip\u0103, apoi a scos gunoiul \u0219i a ie\u0219it din hol. Oleg a auzit u\u0219a tr\u00e2ntindu-se. Sperase c\u0103 se va \u00eentoarce \u00een c\u00e2teva minute, poate c\u0103 va explica ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat. Dar Lena a lipsit jum\u0103tate de or\u0103, \u00eentorc\u00e2ndu-se mai st\u0103p\u00e2n\u0103 pe sine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u0218tii,\u201d a spus ea, sprijinindu-se de perete, \u201epoate c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 fii singur pentru o vreme. S\u0103 te mu\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNici vorb\u0103,\u201d a r\u0103spuns Oleg, ca \u0219i cum l-ar fi \u00een\u021bepat ceva. \u201eNu p\u0103r\u0103sesc casa mea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eOleg, aceasta nu este casa ta. Este apartamentul p\u0103rin\u021bilor mei,\u201d a spus Lena cu am\u0103r\u0103ciune. \u201eS\u0103 fim sinceri: nu merge. Trebuie s\u0103 accept\u0103m asta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu g\u0103sind nimic de r\u0103spuns, Oleg s-a retras \u00een camer\u0103 \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat la laptop. Dar g\u00e2ndul \u00eel b\u00e2ntuia: \u201eUnde m\u0103 voi duce? La p\u0103rin\u021bii mei\u2026 cu care am o rela\u021bie tensionat\u0103.\u201d Certul plutea \u00een aer, iar \u00een zilele urm\u0103toare s-a repetat: se certau din motive m\u0103runte, dar r\u0103d\u0103cina fiec\u0103rui conflict era aceea\u0219i \u2014 indiferen\u021ba fa\u021b\u0103 de so\u021bia lui, pe care o considera o \u201e\u0219oricic\u0103 gri\u201d, amestecat\u0103 cu frica de a r\u0103m\u00e2ne f\u0103r\u0103 un acoperi\u0219 deasupra capului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ajuns la punctul de rupere: Oleg s-a enervat \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it \u0219i a depus el \u00eensu\u0219i cererea de divor\u021b. \u201eEu decid, nu ea,\u201d morm\u0103ia cu \u00eenc\u0103p\u0103\u021b\u00e2nare. \u201eP\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, am p\u0103rin\u021bi, am unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc.\u201d \u0218i-a f\u0103cut bagajele \u0219i s-a dus la Tamara Ilyinichna \u0219i Igor Sergeyevich, de\u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 prea mult entuziasm. Lena a fost de acord cu divor\u021bul lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cererea la registrul civil \u2014 \u0219i cur\u00e2nd erau oficiali nu mai so\u021b \u0219i so\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut trei ani. Oleg a tr\u0103it cu p\u0103rin\u021bii lui tot acest timp. La \u00eenceput, s-a g\u00e2ndit: \u201eM\u0103 odihnesc c\u00e2teva luni \u0219i m\u0103 \u00eentorc la via\u021ba normal\u0103: \u00eenchiriez un apartament, g\u0103sesc o prieten\u0103 nou\u0103 care s\u0103 \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219easc\u0103 idealurile mele.\u201d Dar a r\u0103mas blocat, ca \u00eentr-un mocirle. Munca era f\u0103r\u0103 bucurie: banii erau suficien\u021bi doar pentru pl\u0103ceri modeste. \u0218i perspectivele p\u0103reau s\u0103 nu se materializeze. P\u0103rin\u021bii lui morm\u0103iau c\u0103 fiul lor avea peste treizeci de ani \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 tr\u0103ia din ajutorul lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i atunci, \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 rece de prim\u0103var\u0103, Oleg se \u00eentorcea dup\u0103 ce se \u00eent\u00e2lnise cu un prieten. A trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 o cafenea mic\u0103 \u0219i cochet\u0103, unde lumini str\u0103lucitoare se vedeau prin fereastr\u0103. Oleg a decis s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 pentru a se \u00eenc\u0103lzi. Dar, pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce se apropia, a \u00eenghe\u021bat deodat\u0103: Lena st\u0103tea la intrare. Aceea\u0219i Lena pe care o l\u0103sase cu trei ani \u00een urm\u0103 \u00een apartamentul ei. Dar acum era o femeie diferit\u0103: o postur\u0103 \u00eencrez\u0103toare, coafur\u0103 \u00eengrijit\u0103, haine stricte dar elegante \u0219i o privire calm\u0103. \u00cen m\u00e2ini \u021binea chei de ma\u0219in\u0103, iar dup\u0103 marc\u0103, nu erau ieftine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eWow\u2026\u201d g\u00e2ndi Oleg, ne\u0219tiind nici m\u0103car cum s-a apropiat de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLena?\u201d o strig\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea se \u00eentoarse, nu-l recunoscu din prima, dar apoi z\u00e2mbi. Oleg observ\u0103 c\u0103 z\u00e2mbetul nu mai era ca \u00eenainte \u2014 timid \u0219i jenat, ci cu adev\u0103rat calm \u0219i \u00eencrez\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBun\u0103, Oleg,\u201d spuse ea. \u201eM\u0103 bucur s\u0103 te v\u0103d! Ce mai faci?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eBine\u2026\u201d \u00ee\u0219i ajust\u0103 Oleg e\u0219arfa, sim\u021bindu-se oarecum derutat. \u201eV\u0103d c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi merge bine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eS\u0103 zicem c\u0103 acum tr\u0103iesc a\u0219a cum mi-am dorit mereu,\u201d r\u0103spunse Lena f\u0103r\u0103 urm\u0103 de m\u00e2ndrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eA\u0219a\u2026.\u201d \u00eenghi\u021bi Oleg, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 \u00eenghit\u0103 \u0219i nodul din g\u00e2t \u0219i invidia care cre\u0219tea. \u201e\u0218i\u2026 bravo. Mai lucrezi acolo?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNu, am schimbat domeniul. Am deschis un studio de floristic\u0103. M-am temut la \u00eenceput, dar\u2026\u201d z\u00e2mbi ea. \u201eCineva m-a sprijinit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCine este?\u201d cuvintele ie\u0219ir\u0103 \u00eenainte s\u0103 le poat\u0103 opri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cenainte ca Lena s\u0103 apuce s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103, un b\u0103rbat \u00eenalt, \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00eentr-o hain\u0103, ie\u0219i pe u\u0219a cafenelei. Se apropie de Lena \u0219i o \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103 la umeri:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eIubito, s-a eliberat o mas\u0103, hai s\u0103 mergem?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lena se \u00eentoarse c\u0103tre Oleg, \u00eel prezent\u0103 pe b\u0103rbat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAcesta este Vadim, cunoa\u0219te-l. Vadim, acesta este Oleg,\u201d z\u00e2mbi la b\u0103rbat, ating\u00e2ndu-l pe acesta cu privirea cu o tandre\u021be vizibil\u0103. \u201eOricum, Oleg, m-a bucurat s\u0103 te v\u0103d. Sper c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi merge bine \u0219i \u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oleg d\u0103du din cap, sim\u021bind o furtun\u0103 cresc\u00e2nd \u00een\u0103untru. Privind la Vadim, \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103du seama deodat\u0103: Lena era complet diferit\u0103, nu mai era \u201e\u0219oricica gri\u201d pe care o considera. Ea \u00eenflorise, ca floarea pe care o descrisese el \u00eensu\u0219i, dar nu cu el, ci cu altcineva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eLena\u2026\u201d voia s\u0103 spun\u0103 ceva de genul \u201eiart\u0103-m\u0103,\u201d dar toate cuvintele r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 blocate \u00een g\u00e2t. \u201eM\u0103 bucur pentru tine, chiar\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMul\u021bumesc, Oleg,\u201d r\u0103spunse ea lini\u0219tit, dar cu \u00eencredere. \u201eAi grij\u0103 de tine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vadim z\u00e2mbi c\u0103tre Oleg, f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-i un semn scurt cu capul, \u0219i disparur\u0103 \u00een spatele u\u0219ii de sticl\u0103 a cafenelei.

Prin feroneria cafenelei, putea s\u0103 o vad\u0103 pe Lena \u0219i pe Vadim vorbind despre ceva, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd. Privi gesturile lor, z\u00e2mbetele sincere \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i prindea g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 seara lui deja se stricase. \u0218i nu doar seara \u2014 sentimentul de gol \u00een sufletul s\u0103u cre\u0219tea. C\u00e2ndva, ar fi putut fi sursa de \u00eencredere pentru Lena, s\u0103 o \u00eencurajeze s\u0103 se schimbe, s\u0103-i sprijine aspira\u021biile. Dar el alesese altceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oleg, cu capul plecat, se \u00eendep\u0103rt\u0103 de cafenea. Poate c\u0103, dac\u0103 s-ar fi v\u0103zut acum, ar fi realizat c\u0103 se f\u0103cuse verde \u2014 de invidie, de regret \u0219i, probabil, de acea dureroas\u0103 senza\u021bie a unei oportunit\u0103\u021bi pierdute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
