\u2014 Vlad, iar a venit Roxana f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 anun\u021be! Am strigat din buc\u0103t\u0103rie, cu m\u00e2inile pline de f\u0103in\u0103 \u0219i inima grea. Era a treia oar\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na asta c\u00e2nd sora lui ap\u0103rea pe nepus\u0103 mas\u0103, cu preten\u021bii \u0219i pove\u0219ti interminabile despre c\u00e2t de greu \u00eei e la facultate \u0219i c\u00e2t de nedreapt\u0103 e lumea cu ea. Vlad a ridicat din umeri, evit\u00e2nd privirea mea. \u2014 E sora mea, Irina. Ce vrei s\u0103 fac? S\u0103-i \u00eenchid u\u0219a \u00een nas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul. De trei ani suntem c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi \u0219i, de trei ani, Roxana e o prezen\u021b\u0103 constant\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103. La \u00eenceput am \u00eencercat s\u0103 fiu \u00een\u021beleg\u0103toare. \u0218tiam c\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bii lor au plecat la munc\u0103 \u00een Italia \u0219i c\u0103 Vlad s-a sim\u021bit mereu responsabil pentru ea. Dar \u00eentre timp, responsabilitatea s-a transformat \u00eentr-o povar\u0103 pe care o duceam doar eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce Roxana a plecat cu o pung\u0103 plin\u0103 de m\u00e2ncare g\u0103tit\u0103 \u0219i cu 200 de lei \u201e\u00eemprumuta\u021bi\u201d, am izbucnit:
\u2014 Vlad, nu mai pot! Nu suntem p\u0103rin\u021bii ei! Nu vezi c\u0103 profit\u0103 de tine? De noi?
El s-a \u00eencruntat, obosit:
\u2014 Nu profit\u0103, Irina. Are nevoie de ajutor. Dac\u0103 nu noi, atunci cine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum m\u0103 sufoc. \u00cen fiecare lun\u0103, banii no\u0219tri se \u00eempu\u021binau, planurile noastre r\u0103m\u00e2neau pe h\u00e2rtie, iar timpul petrecut \u00eempreun\u0103 era mereu \u00eentrerupt de telefoanele sau vizitele Roxanei. \u00centr-o zi, c\u00e2nd am venit acas\u0103 mai devreme de la serviciu, am g\u0103sit-o pe Roxana \u00eentins\u0103 pe canapea, uit\u00e2ndu-se la seriale cu punga de chipsuri goal\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea. M-a privit plictisit\u0103:
\u2014 Ai ceva de m\u00e2ncare? Sunt rupt\u0103 de foame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-am mu\u0219cat buza ca s\u0103 nu r\u0103bufnesc. Am \u00eenc\u0103lzit ni\u0219te ciorb\u0103 \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103-mi v\u0103d de treab\u0103. Dar nu mai puteam. Sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu mai am loc \u00een propria cas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce Vlad s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103 \u0219i Roxana a plecat cu \u00eenc\u0103 o saco\u0219\u0103 plin\u0103, am \u00eencercat din nou s\u0103 vorbesc cu el:
\u2014 Vlad, te rog\u2026 Avem nevoie de spa\u021biul nostru. Nu mai pot tr\u0103i a\u0219a.
El a oftat ad\u00e2nc:
\u2014 Irina, nu vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 cer\u021bi pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi ajut sora. Tu nu ai face la fel pentru fratele t\u0103u?
\u2014 Ba da! Dar fratele meu nu ar veni zilnic s\u0103 ne goleasc\u0103 frigiderul \u0219i portofelul!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tensiunea dintre noi a crescut. Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 ne cert\u0103m din ce \u00een ce mai des. Orice discu\u021bie ajungea inevitabil la Roxana. Prietenii no\u0219tri au \u00eenceput s\u0103 observe c\u0103 nu mai ie\u0219im \u00eempreun\u0103, c\u0103 suntem mereu obosi\u021bi \u0219i nervo\u0219i. Mama mea m-a \u00eentrebat \u00eentr-o zi:
\u2014 Irina, tu mai e\u0219ti fericit\u0103?
Nu \u0219tiam ce s\u0103 r\u0103spund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd visam la o zi lini\u0219tit\u0103 doar pentru noi doi, Roxana a ap\u0103rut la u\u0219\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd:
\u2014 M-au dat afar\u0103 din chirie! N-am unde s\u0103 m\u0103 duc!
Vlad a luat-o \u00een bra\u021be f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 stea pe g\u00e2nduri:
\u2014 Stai la noi c\u00e2t ai nevoie.
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se pr\u0103bu\u0219e\u0219te lumea. Trei luni a stat Roxana cu noi. Trei luni \u00een care casa noastr\u0103 s-a transformat \u00eentr-un c\u00e2mp de b\u0103t\u0103lie t\u0103cut\u0103: eu evitam s\u0103 vin acas\u0103, Vlad era prins \u00eentre noi dou\u0103, iar Roxana p\u0103rea s\u0103 nu observe nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, dup\u0103 ce am g\u0103sit-o pe Roxana r\u0103scolind prin sertarele mele dup\u0103 bani \u201ede taxi\u201d, am cedat:
\u2014 Ajunge! Vlad, alegi: ori eu, ori ea!
A urmat o t\u0103cere grea. Vlad m-a privit ca \u0219i cum l-a\u0219 fi tr\u0103dat.
\u2014 Nu po\u021bi s\u0103-mi ceri asta\u2026
\u2014 Ba pot! Pentru c\u0103 nu mai pot tr\u0103i a\u0219a!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A urmat cea mai lung\u0103 noapte din via\u021ba mea. Am dormit pe canapea, cu ochii \u00een tavan \u0219i inima fr\u00e2nt\u0103. Diminea\u021ba, Vlad era deja plecat. Roxana \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea bagajele f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut luni p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd lucrurile s-au lini\u0219tit c\u00e2t de c\u00e2t. Vlad a \u00eenceput s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u0219i el c\u00e2t r\u0103u ne-a f\u0103cut lipsa grani\u021belor. Dar ceva s-a rupt \u00eentre noi. \u00cencrederea mea c\u0103 suntem o echip\u0103 s-a \u0219ubrezit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori m\u0103 \u00eentreb dac\u0103 am f\u0103cut bine c\u0103 am pus piciorul \u00een prag sau dac\u0103 am distrus ceva ce nu se va mai repara niciodat\u0103. Oare c\u00e2te familii din Rom\u00e2nia tr\u0103iesc drama asta t\u0103cut\u0103? C\u00e2t putem sacrifica pentru familie \u00eenainte s\u0103 ne pierdem pe noi \u00een\u0219ine?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
