Casa era proasp\u0103t vopsit\u0103 \u00eentr-un galben str\u0103lucitor. Curtea era impecabil\u0103, plin\u0103 de trandafiri. Gard nou, din lemn. \u0218i, cel mai surprinz\u0103tor, o ma\u0219in\u0103 sedan aproape nou\u0103 parcat\u0103 la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat, cu motorul oprit, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi spun c\u0103 poate am gre\u0219it adresa. Am cobor\u00e2t, m-am uitat din nou la num\u0103r. 42. F\u0103r\u0103 dubii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eempins poarta \u0219i am intrat \u00een curte. Totul mirosea a proasp\u0103t, a bani, a via\u021b\u0103 bun\u0103. Inima a \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi bat\u0103 tot mai tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am b\u0103tut la u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva clipe, u\u0219a s-a deschis larg. \u00cen prag nu era b\u0103tr\u00e2na firav\u0103 pe care o \u0219tiam. \u00cen fa\u021ba mea st\u0103tea tanti Clara, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 elegant, coafat\u0103, cu bijuterii la g\u00e2t. Ar\u0103ta\u2026 bine. Prea bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Robert! \u2014 a exclamat ea, surprins\u0103 pentru o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103, apoi a z\u00e2mbit larg. \u2014 Ce surpriz\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am intrat, \u00eenc\u0103 ame\u021bit. Casa fusese complet renovat\u0103. Mobil\u0103 nou\u0103, televizor mare, electrocasnice scumpe. Tot ce v\u0103zusem vreodat\u0103 la ea disp\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 V\u0103d c\u0103 o duce\u021bi bine \u2014 am spus, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez calmul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eh, m-am descurcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am stat pu\u021bin de vorb\u0103, dar ceva nu se lega. Evita privirea mea. Vorbea repede. La un moment dat, un b\u0103rbat a intrat dintr-o camer\u0103. Un b\u0103rbat de vreo cincizeci de ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ah, el e so\u021bul meu \u2014 a spus ea, non\u0219alant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-a lovit ca un pumn \u00een stomac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 So\u021bul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ne-am c\u0103s\u0103torit acum patru ani \u2014 a continuat ea, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vorbit despre vreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles. Banii mei. To\u021bi acei ani. Nu pentru medicamente. Nu pentru supravie\u021buire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru via\u021ba asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am ridicat \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tanti Clara, \u0219ti\u021bi de ce am trimis banii aceia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu ai vrut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit cum ceva se rupe \u00een mine. Nu furia. Ci eliberarea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ultimul transfer a fost ultimul \u2014 am spus calm. \u2014 De azi, fiecare \u00ee\u0219i poart\u0103 singur via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am plecat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai privesc \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen ma\u0219in\u0103, am pl\u00e2ns. Dar era un pl\u00e2ns diferit. Nu de durere. De \u00eencheiere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acea zi, am l\u0103sat-o pe Maria s\u0103 se odihneasc\u0103 \u00een pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 ani, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc \u0219i eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
