Am ridicat capul \u0219i am sim\u021bit cum \u00een mine se aprinde o for\u021b\u0103 pe care o crezusem pierdut\u0103 de mult. M-am uitat la ceas \u2014 trecuser\u0103 exact 47 de minute. Am luat telefonul, am z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or \u0219i am sunat la recep\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eA\u0219 vrea s\u0103 anulez toate acces\u0103rile pe cardul camerei pentru apartamentul de la etajul 12. Da, totul e pe numele meu, Ana Sterian. \u0218i, v\u0103 rog, trece\u021bi toate cheltuielile f\u0103cute p\u00e2n\u0103 acum pe acela\u0219i cont.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata de la recep\u021bie a ezitat o clip\u0103. \u201eDesigur, doamn\u0103. Imediat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd am \u00eenchis apelul, am sim\u021bit o lini\u0219te stranie. Nu furie. Nu triste\u021be. Doar o claritate rece, cum nu mai sim\u021bisem niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, am v\u0103zut liftul deschiz\u00e2ndu-se \u0219i familia Sterian ie\u0219ind \u00een grab\u0103 \u2014 Judit \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, ro\u0219ie la fa\u021b\u0103, cu o po\u0219et\u0103 scump\u0103 prins\u0103 str\u00e2ns sub bra\u021b, iar Toma \u00een spate, cu acel z\u00e2mbet fals pe care-l \u0219tiam prea bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCe-ai f\u0103cut, Ana?! Cardurile nu mai merg! Toat\u0103 camera e blocat\u0103!\u201d \u2014 a urlat el, gesticul\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am ridicat, calm\u0103. \u201eV\u0103 aminti\u021bi ce mi-a\u021bi spus c\u00e2nd am f\u0103cut rezervarea? C\u0103 eu doar semnez, dar banii sunt ai vo\u0219tri. Ei bine, se pare c\u0103 nu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judith a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 par\u0103 superioar\u0103. \u201eDraga mea, nu trebuia s\u0103 te superi. A fost doar o glum\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eO glum\u0103?\u201d am repetat \u00eencet, z\u00e2mbind. \u201eAtunci \u0219i eu am una.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am luat din geant\u0103 un plic sigilat \u0219i l-am \u00eentins spre Toma. \u201eDivor\u021b. Semnat \u0219i gata de depus. Cu o mic\u0103 surpriz\u0103 \u00een plus \u2014 am mutat banii din contul comun. To\u021bi. \u00centr-unul doar pe numele meu. S\u0103 zicem c\u0103 e\u2026 partea mea din vacan\u021b\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fe\u021bele lor s-au schimonosit. C\u0103t\u0103lina, sora lui, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi. Judit a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se uite \u00een jur, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 nimeni nu o vede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\u0218tii, Toma\u201d, am continuat, \u201eam petrecut ani \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 le plac. V-am dus \u00een excursii, v-am f\u0103cut cadouri, am t\u0103cut c\u00e2nd m-a\u021bi umilit. Dar azi, pentru prima dat\u0103, mi-am amintit cine sunt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am f\u0103cut un semn spre recep\u021bie. \u201eAm rezervat o alt\u0103 camer\u0103. Una mic\u0103, dar doar pentru mine. Voi pute\u021bi sta \u00een hol, s\u0103 vede\u021bi cum e s\u0103 fii l\u0103sat a\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu am mai a\u0219teptat r\u0103spuns. Am urcat \u00een lift \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 respir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sus, \u00een camer\u0103, m-am uitat pe geam. Marea se \u00eentindea lini\u0219tit\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i pese de dramele oamenilor. Am z\u00e2mbit, am comandat un pahar de vin \u0219i mi-am spus: \u201ePoate c\u0103 \u00eenceputul unei vie\u021bi noi sun\u0103 exact a\u0219a: ca lini\u0219tea dup\u0103 o furtun\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103, lini\u0219tea aceea n-a fost deloc goal\u0103. Era pace. Pacea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
