C\u00e2teva secunde mai t\u00e2rziu, un val de \u0219oapte a str\u0103b\u0103tut sala. Unul dintre b\u0103rba\u021bi a scos telefonul \u0219i a sunat la salvare, dar Mihai deja se ridica \u00eencet, sprijinindu-se de marginea mesei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eCine\u2026 cine m-a salvat?\u201d a \u00eentrebat el, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To\u021bi au \u00eentors privirea spre C\u0103t\u0103lina, care \u00ee\u0219i \u0219tergea palmele de \u0219or\u021b, ru\u0219inat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eEu, domnule\u2026 doar am f\u0103cut ce am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un moment de t\u0103cere ap\u0103s\u0103toare s-a l\u0103sat peste \u00eenc\u0103pere. Apoi, spre uimirea tuturor, Mihai s-a ridicat complet, s-a apropiat de ea \u0219i i-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eMul\u021bumesc\u2026 mi-ai salvat via\u021ba.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a cl\u0103tinat din cap, ne\u00eendr\u0103znind s\u0103-l priveasc\u0103 direct \u00een ochi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eOricine ar fi f\u0103cut la fel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eNu, nu oricine,\u201d a r\u0103spuns el, privind spre ceilal\u021bi. \u201eTo\u021bi ceilal\u021bi au stat pe loc. Doar tu ai avut curaj.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rba\u021bii \u00een costume s-au f\u00e2st\u00e2cit, evit\u00e2nd privirea lui. Pentru prima dat\u0103, femeia cu mopul nu mai p\u0103rea o prezen\u021b\u0103 invizibil\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele care au urmat, zvonul s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit \u00een toat\u0103 cl\u0103direa. \u201eFemeia care l-a readus la via\u021b\u0103 pe miliardar\u201d \u2014 a\u0219a i se spunea acum. C\u0103t\u0103lina, care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci tr\u0103ia dintr-un salariu mic \u0219i aducea de acas\u0103 m\u00e2ncare rece, devenise un nume cunoscut printre angaja\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar pentru ea, nimic nu se schimbase. \u00cenc\u0103 venea diminea\u021ba la cinci, \u00ee\u0219i lega basmaua \u0219i sp\u0103la pardoselile lucioase pe care al\u021bii le striveau cu pantofi scumpi. Singura diferen\u021b\u0103 era privirea lor: de acum, o salutau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u0219i f\u0103cea treaba la etajul al treilea, o voce din spatele ei a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eC\u0103t\u0103lina, am nevoie s\u0103 vorbim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era Mihai. \u00cembr\u0103cat lejer, f\u0103r\u0103 cravat\u0103, p\u0103rea un om obi\u0219nuit. I-a spus c\u0103 a visat noaptea momentul acela, clipa c\u00e2nd ea i-a redat via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eMi-am dat seama c\u0103 am tr\u0103it to\u021bi anii \u0103\u0219tia printre oameni \u0219i n-am v\u0103zut niciunul cu adev\u0103rat,\u201d a spus el, cu un z\u00e2mbet amar. \u201eTu m-ai f\u0103cut s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 umanitatea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a t\u0103cut, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd mai tare m\u00e2nerul mopului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eNu trebuie s\u0103-mi mul\u021bumi\u021bi, domnule. E destul c\u0103 sunte\u021bi bine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Mihai avea altceva \u00een minte. A scos din buzunar un plic mic \u0219i i l-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eE pentru tine. O recompens\u0103, \u0219i\u2026 o ofert\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a clipit, ne\u0219tiind dac\u0103 s\u0103-l ia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u201eDeschide-l.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era o h\u00e2rtie cu antetul firmei \u0219i o sum\u0103 scris\u0103 negru pe alb: 50.000 de lei<\/strong>. \u0218i sub ea, o propozi\u021bie: \u201ePropunere de angajare \u2013 asistent\u0103 personal\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Femeia a sim\u021bit cum \u00eei fuge p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de sub picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 \u201eEu?

Asta e\u0219ti tu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ochii C\u0103t\u0103linei s-au umplut de lacrimi. Nu mai \u0219tia dac\u0103 s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 sau s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
