Am urcat \u00een ma\u0219ina Loredanei f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun un cuv\u00e2nt. M\u00e2inile \u00eemi tremurau, iar haina sub\u021bire de mireas\u0103 era ud\u0103 leoarc\u0103. Ea a pornit motorul \u0219i a \u00eentrebat doar at\u00e2t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unde mergem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu\u2026 oriunde, doar departe de aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am condus ore \u00eentregi f\u0103r\u0103 direc\u021bie, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba unui motel vechi de la marginea ora\u0219ului. Loredana mi-a pus m\u00e2na pe um\u0103r \u0219i mi-a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dormi pu\u021bin. Diminea\u021b\u0103 ne g\u00e2ndim ce facem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar somnul nu a venit. Pe noptier\u0103, teancul de bani st\u0103tea acolo, rece, ca o dovad\u0103 a unui secret murdar. Ce putea fi at\u00e2t de grav \u00eenc\u00e2t socrul meu s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 s\u0103 fug \u00een noaptea nun\u021bii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe la 6 diminea\u021ba, am primit un mesaj de la mama. Spunea doar: \u201eSun\u0103-m\u0103 c\u00e2nd po\u021bi. A venit poli\u021bia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am ridicat brusc din pat, sim\u021bind cum mi se str\u00e2nge stomacul. Am format num\u0103rul mamei, dar vocea ei tremura:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Teodora, e bine c\u0103 e\u0219ti vie\u2026 Horia\u2026 a fost dus la spital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce?! Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Au venit noaptea la el acas\u0103\u2026 l-au g\u0103sit incon\u0219tient\u2026 \u0219i socrul t\u0103u e disp\u0103rut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telefonul aproape mi-a c\u0103zut din m\u00e2n\u0103. Loredana m-a prins \u0219i m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 stau jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-a spus omul s\u0103 fugi\u2026 \u2014 a murmurat ea. \u2014 Poate \u0219tia ce urmeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am plecat imediat spre spital. C\u00e2nd am intrat, Horia era conectat la aparate, palid \u0219i inert. Doctorii au spus c\u0103 fusese intoxicat cu o substan\u021b\u0103 necunoscut\u0103. M-am pr\u0103bu\u0219it l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat, cu lacrimile \u0219iroind pe fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poli\u021bistul de la u\u0219\u0103 s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103, \u0219tia\u021bi c\u0103 so\u021bul dumneavoastr\u0103 era implicat \u00eentr-o anchet\u0103 economic\u0103? Se pare c\u0103 firma tat\u0103lui lui ascundea bani \u0219i f\u0103cea tranzac\u021bii ilegale. Cineva \u00eencerca s\u0103 scape de dovezi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles. Socrul meu m\u0103 avertizase. El \u0219tia c\u0103 urma o lovitur\u0103. Zece bancnote de o sut\u0103 de dolari nu erau o mit\u0103, ci biletul meu de sc\u0103pare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile, Horia \u0219i-a revenit. Mi-a povestit printre lacrimi c\u0103 totul fusese o r\u0103zbunare a unor fo\u0219ti parteneri de afaceri ai tat\u0103lui s\u0103u. Tat\u0103l lui, domnul B\u0103lan, fusese g\u0103sit mai t\u00e2rziu \u00eentr-un sat de munte \u2014 viu, dar r\u0103nit, ascuns de oamenii care \u00eel c\u0103utau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trecut aproape un an p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd lini\u0219tea s-a a\u0219ezat din nou peste via\u021ba noastr\u0103. Firma familiei a fost \u00eenchis\u0103, averea pierdut\u0103, dar pe mine nu m\u0103 mai interesa luxul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, st\u0103team cu Horia la o can\u0103 de ceai, \u00eentr-un apartament mic din Ploie\u0219ti, \u0219i el mi-a spus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 ai fi plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 te mai \u00eentorci, nu te-a\u0219 fi putut \u00eenvinui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-am z\u00e2mbit \u0219i i-am r\u0103spuns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am fugit ca s\u0103 scap de tine. Am fugit ca s\u0103 ne pot avea pe am\u00e2ndoi, vii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De atunci, fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd plou\u0103 noaptea, \u00eemi amintesc de acea sear\u0103 \u2014 de banii reci \u00een palm\u0103, de vocea tremurat\u0103 a unui b\u0103rbat care \u00eencerca s\u0103 salveze ce mai putea fi salvat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i uneori, c\u00e2nd via\u021ba pare nedreapt\u0103, \u00eemi spun c\u0103 poate avertismentele nu sunt blesteme, ci semne. Iar iubirea adev\u0103rat\u0103 nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een averi, ci \u00een curajul de a r\u0103m\u00e2ne c\u00e2nd to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi fug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
