Degetele Isabelei au str\u00e2ns plasticul permisului mai tare dec\u00e2t ar fi trebuit. Numele \u00eei ardea \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu Popescu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu era un nume rar. \u0218tia asta. Dar v\u00e2rsta, locul de domiciliu trecut pe act, chiar \u0219i fotografia\u2026 toate se legau \u00eentr-un mod care \u00eei t\u0103ia respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ridicat privirea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul o privea atent, cu o team\u0103 calm\u0103, resemnat\u0103. Ochii lui c\u0103prui aveau aceea\u0219i expresie pe care Isabela o mai v\u0103zuse c\u00e2ndva. Demult. \u00centr-o noapte rece, plin\u0103 de s\u00e2nge, sirene \u0219i pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u021bi dep\u0103\u0219it viteza legal\u0103, a spus ea mecanic, de\u0219i vocea \u00eei tremura abia perceptibil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u, a r\u0103spuns el. M\u0103 gr\u0103besc. Mama mea e internat\u0103 la spitalul jude\u021bean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuv\u00e2ntul \u201emam\u0103\u201d a lovit-o ca un pumn \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu zece ani \u00een urm\u0103, Isabela nu purta uniform\u0103. Purta un hanorac sub\u021bire, pantofi rup\u021bi \u0219i o team\u0103 constant\u0103 c\u0103 nu va prinde ziua de m\u00e2ine. Avea 19 ani \u0219i traversa exact aceea\u0219i \u0219osea, pe \u00eentuneric, c\u00e2nd o ma\u0219in\u0103 ap\u0103ruse din cea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintea zgomotul fr\u00e2nelor. Impactul. Aerul disp\u0103r\u00e2nd din pl\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i apoi\u2026 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un t\u00e2n\u0103r speriat, cu m\u00e2inile murdare de s\u00e2ngele ei, \u021bip\u00e2nd dup\u0103 ajutor, sco\u021b\u00e2ndu-\u0219i geaca \u0219i ap\u0103s\u00e2nd pe rana de la capul ei, refuz\u00e2nd s\u0103 plece p\u00e2n\u0103 nu venise ambulan\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu-i ceruse nimic atunci. Nici numele. Nici un mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doar \u00eei spusese:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021aine ochii deschi\u0219i. Te rog. Nu adormi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabela \u00eenghi\u021bi \u00een sec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Domnule Popescu\u2026 a\u021bi fost vreodat\u0103 implicat \u00eentr-un accident rutier, acum\u2026 zece ani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da\u2026 a spus dup\u0103 o pauz\u0103 lung\u0103. O fat\u0103. Am lovit-o\u2026 sau mai bine zis, a ap\u0103rut din cea\u021b\u0103. Am crezut c\u0103 moare. M-am g\u00e2ndit la ea ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lini\u0219tea dintre ei deveni ap\u0103s\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabela \u00eenchise ochii pentru o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd \u00eei deschise, hot\u0103r\u00e2rea era deja luat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Fata aceea eram eu, spuse simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu se albise la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu\u2026 tu e\u0219ti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da. Datorit\u0103 \u021bie sunt aici. Am terminat \u0219coala. M-am angajat. Am ajuns poli\u021bist. Pentru c\u0103 cineva, \u00eentr-o noapte, a ales s\u0103 nu fug\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ochii lui se umplur\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am \u0219tiut niciodat\u0103 dac\u0103 ai supravie\u021buit\u2026 a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabela scoase carnetul de amenzi. \u00cel deschise. \u00cel \u00eenchise la loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai dep\u0103\u0219it viteza. Dar azi\u2026 mergi la spital. Mama ta are nevoie de tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cei \u00eentinse actele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu r\u0103mase nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc\u2026 dar nu pentru amend\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 mi-ai spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabela z\u00e2mbi, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een diminea\u021ba aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Unele datorii nu se pl\u0103tesc cu bani, spuse ea. Se pl\u0103tesc tr\u0103ind corect mai departe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219ina porni u\u0219or, disp\u0103r\u00e2nd \u00een cea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabela r\u0103mase pe marginea drumului, cu inima b\u0103t\u00e2ndu-i altfel dec\u00e2t de obicei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, trecutul nu venise s\u0103 o pedepseasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venise s\u0103-i arate c\u0103 binele f\u0103cut, chiar \u0219i o singur\u0103 dat\u0103, se \u00eentoarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i c\u0103 unele vie\u021bi sunt legate pentru totdeauna\u2026 printr-o alegere f\u0103cut\u0103 \u00eentr-o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
