Mirela a deschis ochii brusc, convins\u0103 c\u0103 viseaz\u0103. Degetele \u00eei erau amor\u021bite, dar sim\u021bea clar cum cineva trage u\u0219or de funie, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 nu-i fac\u0103 r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218\u0219\u0219\u2026 stai lini\u0219tit\u0103\u2026 \u2014 a auzit o voce joas\u0103, de b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a clipit de c\u00e2teva ori. \u00cen fa\u021ba ei era un tip \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00een uniform\u0103 de p\u0103durar, cu o lantern\u0103 prins\u0103 la piept. Avea barb\u0103 scurt\u0103, ochi obosi\u021bi \u0219i m\u00e2inile murdare de p\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lupul\u2026 nu era lup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era un c\u00e2ine lup, mare, negru, cu urechi ridicate, care st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 el \u0219i o privea atent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dumnezeule\u2026 \u2014 a scos Mirela un sunet r\u0103gu\u0219it. \u2014 Tu\u2026 tu cine e\u0219ti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 cheam\u0103 C\u0103lin. Sunt p\u0103durar aici. \u0218i \u0103sta e Rex. Dac\u0103 era lup, acum nu mai vorbeam, crede-m\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a \u00eenceput s\u0103 tremure, iar c\u00e2nd funia de la m\u00e2ini a c\u0103zut \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u0219i-a tras bra\u021bele la piept, ca \u0219i cum abia acum \u00ee\u0219i amintea c\u0103 e vie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eu\u2026 eu am fost\u2026 el\u2026 so\u021bul meu\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu vorbi \u00eenc\u0103 mult. \u2014 C\u0103lin i-a pus repede o geac\u0103 groas\u0103 peste umeri. \u2014 \u00cenghea\u021b\u0103 aici noaptea. Po\u021bi s\u0103 mergi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a \u00eencercat s\u0103 se ridice, dar picioarele i s-au muiat. A scos un geam\u0103t \u0219i era gata s\u0103 cad\u0103, dar C\u0103lin a prins-o imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 U\u0219or, u\u0219or. Hai c\u0103 te duc eu p\u00e2n\u0103 la ma\u0219in\u0103. E la vreo zece minute de mers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu pot s\u0103 cred\u2026 \u2014 lacrimile \u00eei curgeau f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai opreasc\u0103. \u2014 M-a legat ca pe un animal\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103lin a \u00eenjurat printre din\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am g\u0103sit urme de ro\u021bi. \u0218i Rex a sim\u021bit miros de om speriat. A\u0219a te-am g\u0103sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au mers \u00eencet printre copaci, cu Rex \u00eenainte, atent la orice zgomot. Mirela sim\u021bea c\u0103 i se \u00eenv\u00e2rte totul \u00een cap: frig, fric\u0103, durere\u2026 dar \u0219i un fel de furie care cre\u0219tea din secund\u0103 \u00een secund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen ma\u0219ina lui, C\u0103lin a pus \u00eenc\u0103lzirea la maxim \u0219i i-a dat o sticl\u0103 cu ap\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bea. \u00cencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a b\u0103ut cu l\u0103comie, apoi a \u0219optit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 El\u2026 el o s\u0103 m\u0103 declare moart\u0103. Are un medic, un act\u2026 o s\u0103 fac\u0103 o \u00eenmorm\u00e2ntare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103lin a \u00eencremenit o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Adic\u0103\u2026 omul \u0103sta e at\u00e2t de dus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da\u2026 \u0219i totul pentru bani. Pentru c\u0103 dac\u0103 divor\u021bez, nu ia nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103lin a luat telefonul, dar n-avea semnal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Aici nu prind. Dar la cabana mea prindem. \u0218i chem\u0103m poli\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu e suficient. El are rela\u021bii. O s\u0103 zic\u0103 c\u0103 inventez. Sau c\u0103-s nebun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci ai nevoie de dovezi, nu doar de poveste. \u2014 C\u0103lin a str\u00e2ns volanul. \u2014 Ai pe cineva de \u00eencredere? Familie? Prieteni?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Avocata mea. Dana. Ea \u0219tie de prenup\u021bial. \u0218i\u2026 probabil acum m\u0103 caut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun. Ne mi\u0219c\u0103m repede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La cabana p\u0103durarului, Mirela a f\u0103cut un du\u0219 fierbinte, cu haine \u00eemprumutate. \u00cenc\u0103 tremura, dar mintea \u00eencepea s\u0103 i se limpezeasc\u0103. C\u0103lin a f\u0103cut ceai \u0219i a aprins soba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd telefonul a prins semnal, Mirela a sunat-o pe Dana pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 DANA\u2026 sunt vie\u2026 sunt VIE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mirela?! \u2014 vocea avocatei aproape c\u0103 a \u021bipat. \u2014 Doamne\u2026 Renar a raportat dispari\u021bia ta. \u0218i azi mi-a trimis mesaj c\u0103 \u201ete-ai sim\u021bit r\u0103u\u201d \u0219i c\u0103\u2026 c\u0103 e prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M-a drogat. M-a legat. M-a dus \u00een p\u0103dure. Vrea s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eengroape cu acte false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dana a t\u0103cut o secund\u0103, apoi s-a auzit exact ca \u00een \u0219edin\u021be, c\u00e2nd devine rece \u0219i calculat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ascult\u0103-m\u0103 bine. Nu te mi\u0219ca singur\u0103 nic\u0103ieri. Chem poli\u021bia imediat. \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 ceva\u2026 Renar m\u00e2ine face pomenirea, da? Am primit invita\u021bia. O s\u0103 fie plin de lume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a sim\u021bit cum i se ridic\u0103 stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pomenirea mea\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mirela. Asta e \u0219ansa ta. \u00cen fa\u021ba tuturor, nu poate s\u0103 te fac\u0103 nebun\u0103. Dac\u0103 apari, \u00eel distrugi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mi-e fric\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103lin, care auzise, s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mergi singur\u0103. Te duc eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dana a completat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu sunt acolo. \u0218i am s\u0103 chem \u0219i poli\u021bia \u00een civil. Dar trebuie s\u0103 fii tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns pumnii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bine. M\u0103 duc. Dac\u0103 tot a vrut spectacol\u2026 \u00eei dau spectacol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, sala era decorat\u0103 \u00een negru, cu lum\u00e2n\u0103ri \u0219i un portret al Mirelei cu o fundi\u021b\u0103 neagr\u0103 pe col\u021b. \u00cen fa\u021b\u0103, Renar st\u0103tea cu ochii \u201ero\u0219ii\u201d, teatral, \u021bin\u00e2nd-o de bra\u021b pe blonda aia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se auzea un murmur trist, fals pe alocuri. Lumea se uita la el ca la un biet om distrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a ridicat paharul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mirela\u2026 a fost\u2026 femeia vie\u021bii mele\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U\u0219a s-a deschis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i sala a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen prag, Mirela st\u0103tea dreapt\u0103, palid\u0103, dar vie. Cu p\u0103rul prins simplu \u0219i o privire care t\u0103ia ca lama. L\u00e2ng\u0103 ea era C\u0103lin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru dou\u0103 secunde, nimeni n-a scos un sunet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi cineva a sc\u0103pat o farfurie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een spate, ca \u0219i cum ar fi v\u0103zut o fantom\u0103. Fa\u021ba lui s-a albit complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce\u2026 ce dracu\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a p\u0103\u0219it \u00een sal\u0103, calm\u0103, cu voce tare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua tuturor. \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 v\u0103 stric \u201epomenirea\u201d\u2026 dar se pare c\u0103 am \u00eenviat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un val de \u0219oapte a explodat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E ea!
\u2014 Doamne!
\u2014 Cum e posibil?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela s-a apropiat de Renar \u00eencet. L-a privit fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai pl\u00e2ns frumos. Aproape c\u0103 te-a\u0219 crede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a \u00eencercat s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103, s\u0103 joace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mirela\u2026 eu\u2026 eu nu \u00een\u021beleg\u2026 unde ai fost? Te c\u0103utam\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu te mai chinui. \u0218tiu tot. \u0218i \u0219tiu \u0219i despre \u201emedicul\u201d t\u0103u, \u0219i despre actele tale. \u0218i despre c\u0103\u021belu\u0219a blond\u0103 de l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blonda s-a tras repede, jenat\u0103 \u0219i speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a \u0219uierat printre din\u021bi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Taci\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci s-au v\u0103zut doi poli\u021bi\u0219ti \u00een civil, care au intrat discret. Dana era \u00een spate, cu telefonul \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00eenregistr\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela a ridicat m\u00e2necile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Uita\u021bi-v\u0103 aici. Urmele de funie. \u0218i mai am \u0219i martor: p\u0103durarul care m-a g\u0103sit. Plus c\u0103 exist\u0103 urme \u00een p\u0103dure, se poate verifica traseul, camerele de la benzin\u0103rii\u2026 tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poli\u021bistul s-a apropiat de Renar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Domnule Renar, sunte\u021bi rugat s\u0103 ne urma\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a \u00eenceput s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 nervos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Serios? Crede\u021bi o femeie isteric\u0103? Ea a fugit singur\u0103, sigur\u2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirela s-a aplecat spre el, doar c\u00e2t s\u0103 aud\u0103 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai uitat un detaliu, dragul meu: eu \u00eenc\u0103 sunt proprietara casei. \u0218i ghici ce? \u00cen subsolul \u0103la umed \u00een care m-ai \u021binut\u2026 sunt camere de supraveghere. Le-am instalat acum c\u00e2teva luni. Pentru \u201esiguran\u021b\u0103\u201d. Tu nici n-ai observat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i exact atunci, poli\u021bistul i-a pus c\u0103tu\u0219ele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sala a izbucnit \u00eentr-un haos total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, Mirela st\u0103tea pe balconul apartamentului ei, cu o can\u0103 de cafea. Aerul de diminea\u021b\u0103 era curat, lini\u0219titor. Procesul era \u00een desf\u0103\u0219urare, dar lucrurile mergeau clar \u00een favoarea ei: tentativa de omor, sechestrare, fals\u2026 tot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renar nu mai era \u201ev\u0103duvul \u00eendurerat\u201d. Era un om terminat, cu zeci de ochi pe el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dana i-a trimis un mesaj: \u201eFelicit\u0103ri. Judec\u0103torul a aprobat ordinul de protec\u021bie. Nu se mai apropie de tine nici la 100 de metri.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirela a z\u00e2mbit amar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen spatele ei s-a auzit o voce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Te-ai obi\u0219nuit cu cafeaua f\u0103r\u0103 zah\u0103r?<\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u0103lin. Venise s\u0103 vad\u0103 dac\u0103 e bine. Nu era genul care promite mult. Doar era acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirela a ridicat spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Nu. Dar cred c\u0103 m-am obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 nu mai \u00eenghit minciuni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u0103lin a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Asta e cel mai bun obicei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirela a privit \u00een zare \u0219i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, a sim\u021bit c\u0103 nu mai tr\u0103ie\u0219te \u00een fric\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 \u0218tii ceva? \u2014 a zis ea \u00eencet. \u2014 Cred c\u0103 moartea aia\u2026 a fost, de fapt, o rena\u0219tere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Atunci s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti, Mirela. Pe bune. Nu doar s\u0103 supravie\u021buie\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ea a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0218i de data asta, chiar a sim\u021bit c\u0103 poate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aceast\u0103 lucrare este inspirat\u0103 din evenimente \u0219i persoane reale, \u00eens\u0103 a fost fic\u021bionalizat\u0103 \u00een scopuri creative.
