Cu un calm care ar fi putut p\u0103c\u0103li pe oricine, Javier a \u00eentins m\u00e2na spre pahar. Liana \u00eel privea atent, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 ner\u0103bdarea \u00een spatele unui z\u00e2mbet ginga\u0219. Dar \u00een ochii ei era altceva, ceva ce el nu mai v\u0103zuse p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cen s\u0103n\u0103tatea noastr\u0103, iubito, spuse el cu o voce bl\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ridic\u0103 paharul, \u00eel privi \u00een lumina candelabrului \u0219i, \u00een loc s\u0103-l duc\u0103 la gur\u0103, \u00eel roti u\u0219or \u00eentre degete, ca \u0219i cum analiza reflexia bulelor. \u00cen mintea lui, \u0219oapta osp\u0103t\u0103ri\u021bei se repeta ca un ecou:\u00a0\u201eE o otrav\u0103 \u00een paharul dumneavoastr\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liana clipea des.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, dragul meu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nimic, doar\u2026 mi s-a p\u0103rut c\u0103 \u0219ampania are un miros ciudat. Ai gustat-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, fa\u021ba ei se \u00een\u021bepenise. Apoi, pref\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se mirat\u0103, spuse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu? Nu, doar \u021bi-am turnat \u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Javier z\u00e2mbi rece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci hai s\u0103 bem am\u00e2ndoi, zise el calm, \u0219i-i umplu \u0219i ei paharul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00e2na Lianei tremura u\u0219or. \u00cen jur, orchestra c\u00e2nta \u00eencet un vals. Nimeni nu b\u0103nuia c\u0103 la masa din col\u021b se desf\u0103\u0219ura un joc al minciunii \u0219i al puterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai, draga mea, ciocnim pentru viitorul nostru, zise el, ridic\u00e2nd din nou paharul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liana ezit\u0103. Privirea lui o \u021bintuia. \u0218tia c\u0103, dac\u0103 refuz\u0103, totul s-ar n\u0103rui. Cu un z\u00e2mbet for\u021bat, ciocni paharul \u0219i \u00eel duse la buze. Javier nu-\u0219i lu\u0103 ochii de la ea. Nu b\u0103u, doar privi cum ea atinge paharul de buze \u0219i se preface c\u0103 \u00eenghite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi, cu o mi\u0219care brusc\u0103, Javier puse paharul jos.
\u2014 Ciudat, ai b\u0103ut foarte pu\u021bin. \u021ai-e team\u0103 de ceva, Liana?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea r\u00e2se fals, dar vocea i se fr\u00e2nse.
\u2014 Nu, bine\u00een\u021beles c\u0103 nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen clipa urm\u0103toare, Javier se ridic\u0103 \u0219i f\u0103cu un semn discret c\u0103tre un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum care st\u0103tea la dou\u0103 mese distan\u021b\u0103. Era detectivul particular pe care \u00eel angajase cu o lun\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103, c\u00e2nd \u00eencepuse s\u0103 b\u0103nuiasc\u0103 c\u0103 logodnica lui ascunde ceva. \u00cen c\u00e2teva secunde, Liana fu \u00eenconjurat\u0103 de doi oameni \u00een civil. Unul dintre ei ridic\u0103 paharul \u0219i \u00eel sigil\u0103 \u00eentr-o pung\u0103 transparent\u0103. \u00cen jurul lor se l\u0103s\u0103 o t\u0103cere grea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Liana, spuse Javier cu o voce rece, aproape \u0219optit\u0103, \u00ee\u021bi recomand s\u0103 nu mai joci teatru. Camera de supraveghere de la bar a \u00eenregistrat tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fa\u021ba ei se albi complet.
\u2014 Javier\u2026 nu e ceea ce crezi\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar cuvintele se fr\u00e2nser\u0103 \u00een aer. Osp\u0103t\u0103ri\u021ba Sofia privea de la distan\u021b\u0103, tremur\u00e2nd. Nu putea s\u0103 cread\u0103 ce tocmai se \u00eent\u00e2mplase. C\u00e2teva secunde mai t\u00e2rziu, poli\u021bia era deja acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd totul s-a terminat, Javier s-a apropiat de Sofia.
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, i-a spus simplu. Ai salvat un om care nu mai credea c\u0103 poate fi salvat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea z\u00e2mbi timid, ne\u0219tiind ce s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele ce au urmat, povestea a ajuns \u00een toate ziarele. Liana a fost acuzat\u0103 de tentativ\u0103 de omor \u0219i complicitate la fraud\u0103. Iar Javier, \u00een loc s\u0103 se ascund\u0103, a f\u0103cut ceva nea\u0219teptat: a cump\u0103rat restaurantul unde aproape \u00ee\u0219i pierduse via\u021ba \u0219i l-a transformat \u00eentr-un local pentru tineri f\u0103r\u0103 posibilit\u0103\u021bi, oferindu-le o \u0219ans\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 de jos, exact cum o f\u0103cuse \u0219i Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a rev\u0103zut-o, purta uniforma de osp\u0103t\u0103ri\u021b\u0103, dar ochii \u00eei str\u0103luceau altfel. Javier i-a z\u00e2mbit.
\u2014 Oamenii buni apar c\u00e2nd te a\u0219tep\u021bi cel mai pu\u021bin, a spus el. \u2014 \u0218i uneori, o simpl\u0103 \u0219oapt\u0103 poate schimba totul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea, restaurantul s-a umplut de r\u00e2sete, iar via\u021ba a mers mai departe. Dar pentru Javier \u0219i Sofia, acel moment r\u0103mase dovada c\u0103 uneori, binele \u00eenvinge chiar \u0219i \u00een cele mai \u00eentunecate col\u021buri ale lumii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
