Atunci am t\u0103cut. Mi-am spus c\u0103 o familie conteaz\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t orice carier\u0103. Dar, \u00eencet-\u00eencet, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 simt cum m\u0103 sting. Zilele mele au devenit la fel: cump\u0103r\u0103turi, g\u0103tit, sp\u0103lat, c\u0103lcat. Iar el, tot mai rece, tot mai gr\u0103bit, tot mai indiferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, \u00een cafeneaua g\u0103rii, am sim\u021bit pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp un fior de libertate. Poate era teama de necunoscut, poate era curajul care se ascundea \u00een mine de ani buni. Am decis c\u0103 nu voi mai tr\u0103i pentru al\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diminea\u021ba, am urcat \u00een tren cu o geant\u0103 mic\u0103 \u0219i o inim\u0103 plin\u0103 de emo\u021bii. C\u00e2nd ro\u021bile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se mi\u0219te, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 via\u021ba mea \u00eencepe din nou. Nu \u0219tiam ce m\u0103 a\u0219teapt\u0103 \u00een Bucure\u0219ti, dar \u0219tiam un singur lucru: nu m\u0103 mai \u00eentorc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eenchiriat o camer\u0103 mic\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 Gara de Nord, cu pere\u021bi albi \u0219i o fereastr\u0103 mare prin care intra soarele. \u00cen primele zile am pl\u00e2ns mult. De oboseal\u0103, de fric\u0103, de eliberare. Dar apoi, \u00eentr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, am v\u0103zut un anun\u021b: \u201eSe caut\u0103 asistent designer interior. Experien\u021b\u0103 minim\u0103 \u2013 facultate finalizat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit. Poate soarta \u00eemi d\u0103dea o a doua \u0219ans\u0103. Am trimis un mesaj \u0219i, peste dou\u0103 zile, m-au chemat la interviu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd am p\u0103\u0219it \u00een biroul mic, cu plan\u0219e colorate pe pere\u021bi, o femeie z\u00e2mbitoare m-a \u00eentrebat:
\u2014 Ai experien\u021b\u0103?
\u2014 Nu prea, \u2014 am spus sincer, \u2014 dar am pasiune \u0219i voin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u00e2s \u0219i mi-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na:
\u2014 Atunci e\u0219ti omul potrivit. \u00cencepi de luni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din ziua aceea, totul s-a schimbat. Am muncit cu sufletul, am desenat, am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat, am visat din nou. Fiecare proiect era o mic\u0103 victorie. Fiecare mul\u021bumire a unui client, un pas spre mine \u00eens\u0103mi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut doi ani. \u00centr-o zi, \u00een timp ce aranjam mostre de tapet \u00eentr-un showroom, am auzit o voce cunoscut\u0103:
\u2014 Elena?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eentors. Era Ionu\u021b. Ar\u0103ta mai b\u0103tr\u00e2n, mai obosit, parc\u0103 micit. M\u0103 privea cu uimire.
\u2014 Am vrut doar s\u0103 \u0219tiu\u2026 e\u0219ti bine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am privit drept \u00een ochi. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, f\u0103r\u0103 team\u0103.
\u2014 Da, Ionu\u021b. Sunt mai bine ca niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dat din cap, ru\u0219inat, \u0219i a plecat f\u0103r\u0103 un cuv\u00e2nt. Eu am r\u0103mas \u00een picioare, cu z\u00e2mbetul pe buze, \u0219tiind c\u0103 nu mai apar\u021bin trecutului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara, am ie\u0219it pe balconul apartamentului meu mic \u0219i am privit luminile ora\u0219ului. Aerul mirosea a libertate, a \u00eenceputuri noi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via\u021ba mea nu mai era despre cine trebuie s\u0103 fiu pentru al\u021bii, ci despre cine sunt cu adev\u0103rat. \u0218i pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 doisprezece ani, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 locul meu la mas\u0103 \u2014 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, \u00een lume \u2014 era, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
