Ana r\u0103sufl\u0103 u\u0219urat\u0103, de\u0219i inima \u00eei b\u0103tea \u00eenc\u0103 nelini\u0219tit\u0103. \u0218tia c\u0103 din acea clip\u0103 nimic nu va mai fi la fel. Profesorul l\u0103sase recomand\u0103rile, Edmund p\u0103rea mai \u00eemp\u0103cat, dar \u00een aer plutea tensiunea. Lidia, care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci fusese st\u0103p\u00e2na fiec\u0103rei situa\u021bii, acum se mi\u0219ca prin cas\u0103 ca o umbr\u0103, supraveghind fiecare gest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Edmund st\u0103tea deja \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00eentr-un fotoliu l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastr\u0103. Purta un pulover de l\u00e2n\u0103 pe care nu-l mai \u00eembr\u0103case de luni de zile. Privea gr\u0103dina, unde primele muguri se deschideau pe ramurile magnoliilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tii, Ano \u2014 spuse el, c\u00e2nd ea \u00eei a\u0219ez\u0103 micul dejun \u2014 asear\u0103, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, am dormit toat\u0103 noaptea. F\u0103r\u0103 ame\u021beli ciudate, f\u0103r\u0103 co\u0219maruri. Doar lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana z\u00e2mbi, sim\u021bind c\u0103 riscul ei avusese rost. Dar Lidia nu suporta lini\u0219tea. Pa\u0219ii ei, aspri \u0219i gr\u0103bi\u021bi, r\u0103sunau pe coridoare. C\u00e2nd intr\u0103 \u00een salon, privirea ei o str\u0103punse pe Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum te sim\u021bi, Edmund? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 cu o dulcea\u021b\u0103 for\u021bat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai bine, Lidio. Mult mai bine \u2014 r\u0103spunse simplu el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe chipul femeii se ivi un z\u00e2mbet, dar ochii \u00eei r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 reci. \u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 fie o \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u021bire trec\u0103toare. Nu ar trebui s\u0103 renun\u021b\u0103m la terapia de p\u00e2n\u0103 acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu renun\u021b\u0103m \u2014 spuse calm Edmund. \u2014 Doar schimb\u0103m drumul. Am dreptul s\u0103 \u00eencerc altfel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea zi atmosfera deveni mai ap\u0103s\u0103toare. Lidia vorbea \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103 la telefon, se \u00eencuia \u00een birou, iar c\u00e2nd ie\u0219ea, mi\u0219c\u0103rile ei erau \u0219i mai calculate. Ana sim\u021bea c\u0103 so\u021bia lui Edmund nu cedase \u00eenc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2teva zile trecur\u0103 \u00eentr-o lini\u0219te aparent\u0103. Edmund ie\u0219ea din ce \u00een ce mai des \u00een gr\u0103din\u0103. Uneori glumea c\u0103 se sim\u021bea ca un fugar care \u0219i-a rec\u0103p\u0103tat libertatea. Ana \u00eel \u00eenso\u021bea la plimb\u0103ri, iar \u00een inima ei se n\u0103\u0219tea un amestec de bucurie \u0219i team\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o dup\u0103-amiaz\u0103, c\u00e2nd se \u00eentorceau de la o scurt\u0103 plimbare, la poart\u0103 se opri o ma\u0219in\u0103 elegant\u0103. Din ea cobor\u00ee doctorul Latowski, medicul de p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci al lui Edmund, un b\u0103rbat cu maniere impecabile \u0219i un z\u00e2mbet care sem\u0103na mai mult a masc\u0103 dec\u00e2t a bun\u0103voin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Domnule Stoller \u2014 \u00eencepu el, abia arunc\u00e2nd o privire spre Ana \u2014 am auzit ve\u0219ti \u00eengrijor\u0103toare. Se pare c\u0103 cineva intervine \u00een terapia mea. Este inacceptabil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edmund \u00eel privi lini\u0219tit. \u2014 Doctore, apreciez eforturile dumneavoastr\u0103. Dar de acum vreau s\u0103 urmez o alt\u0103 cale. Profesorul Malinowski a preluat \u00eengrijirea mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe fa\u021ba lui Latowski ap\u0103ru un rictus pe care nu reu\u0219i s\u0103-l ascund\u0103. \u2014 Este o gre\u0219eal\u0103 grav\u0103. Nimeni nu v\u0103 cunoa\u0219te cazul mai bine dec\u00e2t mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cel cunoa\u0219te\u021bi din dosare. Eu vreau ca cineva s\u0103 m\u0103 vad\u0103 ca pe un om, nu doar ca pe grafice \u2014 r\u0103spunse ferm Edmund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ana observ\u0103 cum doctorul se \u00eentoarse spre Lidia. Privirile lor se \u00eent\u00e2lnir\u0103 o clip\u0103 \u2014 ca doi alia\u021bi \u00eentr-un r\u0103zboi ascuns. Apoi Latowski \u00ee\u0219i lu\u0103 r\u0103mas bun rece \u0219i plec\u0103, promi\u021b\u00e2nd c\u0103 \u201enu e totul pierdut\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara, Lidia izbucni. \u2014 \u0218tii ce faci?! \u2014 strig\u0103 ea, st\u00e2nd deasupra so\u021bului. \u2014 \u00ce\u021bi negi anii mei de grij\u0103, munca mea, loialitatea mea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edmund ridic\u0103 m\u00e2na, cer\u00e2nd lini\u0219te. \u2014 Grija ta a devenit o \u00eenchisoare pentru mine. \u0218i nu vreau s\u0103 mai tr\u0103iesc dup\u0103 gratii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fraza at\u00e2rn\u0103 \u00eentre ei ca o sentin\u021b\u0103. Lidia ie\u0219i \u00een fug\u0103 din camer\u0103, iar Ana auzi tr\u00e2ntirea u\u0219ii biroului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zilele urm\u0103toare fur\u0103 pline de tensiune, dar Edmund \u00ee\u0219i rec\u0103p\u0103ta treptat puterile. Merg\u00e2nd din ce \u00een ce mai departe, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd mai tare, povestind amintiri din tinere\u021be, p\u0103rea un alt om. Ana sim\u021bea c\u0103 \u00eel descoperea din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd \u00eei aduse cafeaua, el o privi serios. \u2014 \u0218tii, Ano, curajul t\u0103u mi-a salvat via\u021ba. Poate nu pentru mul\u021bi ani, dar suficient ca s\u0103 simt din nou c\u0103 tr\u0103iesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen ochii lui str\u0103lucea ceva ce nu mai fusese acolo de mult \u2014 recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 \u0219i pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar Lidia? Cu timpul, revolta i se stinse. \u00cen\u021belese c\u0103 nu putea \u00eenvinge voin\u021ba so\u021bului. \u00cen locul \u021bipetelor, \u00eencepu s\u0103-i aduc\u0103 fructele preferate, s\u0103-i a\u0219eze pledul pe umeri, de\u0219i \u00een privirea ei p\u00e2lpa \u00eenc\u0103 o rezerv\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casa, care p\u00e2n\u0103 nu demult mirosea a medicamente, acum se umplea de sunetul vechilor discuri \u0219i de aroma cafelei proaspete. Ana \u0219tia c\u0103 nu putea schimba \u00eentreaga lume, dar schimbase lumea unui singur om. \u0218i uneori asta era de ajuns ca s\u0103 crezi \u00een sensul vie\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar c\u00e2nd seara st\u0103tea \u00een mica buc\u0103t\u0103rie, auzind r\u00e2sul lui Edmund venind din salon, sim\u021bea c\u0103 luase cea mai important\u0103 decizie a vie\u021bii sale \u2014 aceea de a alege omenirea \u00een locul procedurilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiindc\u0103 adev\u0103rata putere nu st\u0103 \u00een control, ci \u00een curajul de a l\u0103sa pe cel\u0103lalt s\u0103 respire \u00een propriul ritm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
