<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 e apartamentul t\u0103u? Noi to\u021bi locuim aici \u0219i nu po\u021bi hot\u0103r\u00ee singur\u0103 cine r\u0103m\u00e2ne \u0219i cine pleac\u0103! \u2014 izbucni Nicoleta Iliescu, cu vocea t\u0103ioas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am spus nu \u2014 repet\u0103 Ioana Moldovan, str\u0103duindu-se din r\u0103sputeri s\u0103-\u0219i p\u0103streze calmul. \u2014 Locuin\u021ba aceasta \u00eemi apar\u021bine. \u0218i nu am de g\u00e2nd s\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi apar\u021bine? \u2014 o \u00eentrerupse soacra, mijind ochii cu ne\u00eencredere. \u2014 Dar familia? De ea cine \u021bine cont? Radu, auzi ce spune so\u021bia ta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana deschise u\u0219a \u00eencet, aproape f\u0103r\u0103 vlag\u0103. Se apropia de ora nou\u0103 seara. \u00cent\u00e2rziase la birou, prins\u0103 \u00eentr-un proiect care \u00eei acaparase \u00eentreaga zi. Din interior r\u0103zb\u0103tea, ca de obicei, rumoarea unei dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Iar vii t\u00e2rziu! \u2014 o apostrof\u0103 Nicoleta imediat ce p\u0103\u0219i \u00een hol. \u2014 Radu st\u0103 fl\u0103m\u00e2nd \u0219i te a\u0219teapt\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana inspir\u0103 ad\u00e2nc \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i scoase paltonul. De o vreme, apartamentul nu-i mai d\u0103dea senza\u021bia de \u201eacas\u0103\u201d. Se sim\u021bea ca o str\u0103in\u0103 tolerat\u0103 \u00eentr-un spa\u021biu care fusese c\u00e2ndva al ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu \u0219ase s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u00een urm\u0103, c\u00e2nd Radu C\u0103t\u0103linescu o rugase s\u0103-i g\u0103zduiasc\u0103 pe p\u0103rin\u021bii lui pe durata renov\u0103rii, acceptase f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare. Dou\u0103-trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni p\u0103reau un fleac. \u00cens\u0103 zilele s-au transformat \u00een s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, iar plecarea lor nu mai venea. Totul \u00eencepea s\u0103 semene cu un co\u0219mar f\u0103r\u0103 sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 seara \u2014 rosti ea, intr\u00e2nd \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu \u0219i Mihai Nicolae st\u0103teau la mas\u0103, cu privirile lipite de televizor. Nicoleta tr\u00e2ntea vasele la chiuvet\u0103 cu gesturi zgomotoase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-am spus s\u0103 ajungi acas\u0103 cel t\u00e2rziu la \u0219apte! \u2014 continu\u0103 soacra, arunc\u00e2ndu-i o privire mustr\u0103toare. \u2014 Noi avem un program bine stabilit, m\u00e2nc\u0103m la ore fixe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103, Ioana deschise frigiderul, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 iritarea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am responsabilit\u0103\u021bi la serviciu \u2014 r\u0103spunse ea c\u00e2t mai echilibrat. \u2014 A trebuit s\u0103 finalizez ceva important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Serviciu, serviciu\u2026 \u2014 ironiz\u0103 Nicoleta. \u2014 Dar de so\u021b cine are grij\u0103? Radu, spune-i \u0219i tu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu se foi st\u00e2njenit, evit\u00e2nd s\u0103 o priveasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, poate c\u0103 n-ar fi r\u0103u s\u0103 vii pu\u021bin mai devreme\u2026 \u2014 murmur\u0103 el, nesigur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2nse buzele. P\u00e2n\u0103 la venirea p\u0103rin\u021bilor lui, \u00eent\u00e2rzierile ei nu fuseser\u0103 niciodat\u0103 o problem\u0103. Acum, \u00eens\u0103, totul p\u0103rea r\u0103sturnat. Sau poate doar a\u0219a i se p\u0103rea ei?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Exact \u2014 interveni Mihai Nicolae, desprinz\u00e2ndu-\u0219i ochii de la ecran. \u2014 O femeie trebuie s\u0103 pun\u0103 familia pe primul loc. \u00cen zilele noastre\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana \u00eencremeni. De c\u00e2te ori mai auzise expresia asta, rostit\u0103 cu acela\u0219i ton superior?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 preg\u0103tesc ceva de m\u00e2ncare \u2014 spuse ea \u00eencet, sco\u021b\u00e2nd cump\u0103r\u0103turile din saco\u0219e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu e nevoie \u2014 o opri Nicoleta cu un gest larg. \u2014 M-am ocupat eu. \u021ai-am reorganizat \u0219i dulapurile, c\u0103 erau puse f\u0103r\u0103 logic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana r\u0103mase nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 le-ai reorganizat? E buc\u0103t\u0103ria mea, Nicoleta\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tocmai de aceea \u2014 replic\u0103 soacra, aprobator. \u2014 Cineva trebuie s\u0103 men\u021bin\u0103 ordinea. Am experien\u021b\u0103, \u0219tiu cum se face!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furia \u00eencepu s\u0103-i clocoteasc\u0103 \u00een piept. Arunc\u0103 o privire spre Radu, dar el st\u0103tea cu capul plecat, de parc\u0103 \u0219i-ar fi dorit s\u0103 dispar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 ceva \u2014 ad\u0103ug\u0103 Nicoleta, cercet\u00e2nd pere\u021bii cu un aer critic. \u2014 Ar cam fi timpul s\u0103 renova\u021bi. Totul arat\u0103 \u00eenvechit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana \u00ee\u0219i \u00eencle\u0219t\u0103 maxilarul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nicoleta \u2014 spuse ea, for\u021b\u00e2ndu-se s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 calm\u0103 \u2014 am stabilit c\u0103 sta\u021bi aici doar p\u00e2n\u0103 termina\u021bi renovarea voastr\u0103. Dar nici m\u0103car nu a \u00eenceput. Nu crede\u021bi c\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 v\u0103 ocupa\u021bi de asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ah, renovarea\u2026 \u2014 oft\u0103 soacra, schimb\u00e2nd o privire cu so\u021bul ei, preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103 explice de ce lucrurile nu st\u0103teau deloc a\u0219a cum p\u0103reau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Renovarea ne-a pus piedici \u2014 continu\u0103 Nicoleta Iliescu, oft\u00e2nd teatral. \u2014 Me\u0219terii au tot am\u00e2nat, materialele au venit gre\u0219ite\u2026 S-au adunat prea multe \u00eencurc\u0103turi. Va trebui s\u0103 mai r\u0103m\u00e2nem o perioad\u0103 la voi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t \u00eenseamn\u0103 \u201eo perioad\u0103\u201d? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Ioana Moldovan aproape \u00een \u0219oapt\u0103, de parc\u0103 se temea de r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103, poate trei luni, nimic dramatic \u2014 f\u0103cu Nicoleta un gest larg cu m\u00e2na, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vorbit despre c\u00e2teva zile. \u2014 Doar nu v\u0103 st\u0103m \u00een cale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana sim\u021bi cum degetele i se str\u00e2ng involuntar \u00een pumni. \u00cenc\u0103 dou\u0103 sau trei luni? \u00cenc\u0103 un trimestru \u00een care fiecare col\u021b al casei \u00eei era controlat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brusc, soacra \u00ee\u0219i schimb\u0103 tonul, z\u00e2mbind mieros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 R\u0103ducule drag\u0103, poate nici nu are rost s\u0103 ne mai gr\u0103bim cu renovarea\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ce\u0219i l\u0103s\u0103 vorbele s\u0103 pluteasc\u0103 o clip\u0103, apoi ad\u0103ug\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi rostit cea mai fireasc\u0103 idee din lume:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vindem apartamentul nostru \u0219i ne mut\u0103m aici, to\u021bi patru. Spa\u021biu este suficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana \u00eencremeni. Parc\u0103 timpul se blocase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E o idee excelent\u0103, mam\u0103! \u2014 izbucni Radu C\u0103t\u0103linescu entuziasmat. \u2014 Nu-i a\u0219a, Ioana? \u021ai-ar fi mai u\u0219or cu noi aproape. Te-am ajuta la toate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirea Ioanei se ridic\u0103 lent spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103\u2026 s\u0103 m\u0103 ajuta\u021bi? \u2014 rosti ea, ne\u00eencrez\u0103toare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Evident \u2014 interveni Mihai Nicolae, aprobator. \u2014 Tinerii au nevoie de sprijin. Iar c\u00e2nd vor ap\u0103rea copiii, vom fi aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe scaun, sim\u021bind c\u0103 i se taie puterile. O ap\u0103sare grea \u00eei cuprinse umerii. C\u00e2nd anume \u00ee\u0219i pierduse controlul asupra propriei vie\u021bi? \u00cen ce moment \u00eencetase s\u0103 mai fie st\u0103p\u00e2na casei sale?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u2014 spuse clar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 \u201enu\u201d? \u2014 se \u00eentoarse Nicoleta brusc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am spus nu \u2014 repet\u0103 Ioana, st\u0103p\u00e2nindu-\u0219i cu greu tremurul din voce. \u2014 Apartamentul acesta este al meu. \u0218i nu am de g\u00e2nd s\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Al t\u0103u? \u2014 \u00eengust\u0103 Nicoleta ochii. \u2014 Dar familia, unde o pui? Radu, auzi ce spune so\u021bia ta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu \u00eencrunt\u0103 spr\u00e2ncenele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, ce faci acum? Mama are dreptate. E mai simplu s\u0103 locuim \u00eempreun\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai simplu pentru cine? \u2014 Ioana se ridic\u0103 brusc. \u2014 Mai simplu s\u0103 fiu supravegheat\u0103 permanent? S\u0103 mi se spun\u0103 unde s\u0103 pun lucrurile \u00een propria mea cas\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 \u201esupravegheat\u0103\u201d? Noi suntem str\u0103ini? \u2014 izbucni Nicoleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Faptul c\u0103 sunte\u021bi p\u0103rin\u021bii lui Radu v\u0103 d\u0103 dreptul s\u0103 decide\u021bi asupra bunurilor mele? \u2014 vocea Ioanei vibra de revolt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu s\u0103ri \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mai \u021bipa la mama!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana inspir\u0103 ad\u00e2nc, sim\u021bind nodul din g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, ai dreptate. Nu mai sunt ca \u00eenainte. Pentru c\u0103 \u00eenainte nu realizasem c\u00e2t de mult a\u021bi dep\u0103\u0219it orice limit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicoleta \u00ee\u0219i lovi palmele una de alta, scandalizat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Radu, o auzi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirea lui Radu alerga nesigur \u00eentre cele dou\u0103 femei, dar Ioana \u0219tia deja ce are de f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, putem discuta calm\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, Radu \u2014 spuse ea, \u00eendrept\u00e2ndu-se \u0219i \u0219terg\u00e2ndu-\u0219i discret lacrimile. \u2014 Timp de o lun\u0103 \u0219i jum\u0103tate am t\u0103cut. Am suportat s\u0103-mi fie reorganizat\u0103 buc\u0103t\u0103ria, s\u0103-mi dispar\u0103 lucrurile, s\u0103 mi se spun\u0103 ce \u0219i cum s\u0103 fac \u00een propria mea via\u021b\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am vrut doar s\u0103 ajut\u0103m \u2014 murmur\u0103 Mihai Nicolae, pe un ton defensiv. \u2014 S\u0103 punem ordine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ordine? \u2014 Ioana se \u00eentoarse spre el, uluit\u0103. \u2014 Cine v-a cerut asta? Casa aceasta \u00eemi apar\u021bine, iar regulile le stabilesc eu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce obraznicie! \u2014 \u0219uier\u0103 Nicoleta, palid\u0103 de furie. \u2014 Radu, chiar permi\u021bi asemenea vorbe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen interior, Ioana sim\u021bi cum se gole\u0219te de orice team\u0103. R\u0103m\u0103sese doar o claritate rece. C\u00e2t mai putea continua aceast\u0103 fars\u0103? C\u00e2t s\u0103 mai joace rolul gazdei recunosc\u0103toare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pleca\u021bi \u2014 rosti ea \u00eencet, dar at\u00e2t de ferm \u00eenc\u00e2t aerul din buc\u0103t\u0103rie p\u0103ru s\u0103 \u00eenghe\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poftim? \u2014 Nicoleta r\u0103mase cu lingura suspendat\u0103 la jum\u0103tatea drumului spre farfurie, incapabil\u0103 s\u0103 cread\u0103 ce auzise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am spus s\u0103 pleca\u021bi din apartamentul meu \u2014 repet\u0103 Ioana Moldovan, de data aceasta mai r\u0103spicat, iar glasul ei avea duritatea unei pl\u0103ci de granit. \u2014 Chiar acum. Str\u00e2nge\u021bi-v\u0103 lucrurile \u0219i ie\u0219i\u021bi pe u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u0103cerea care se a\u0219ternu fu at\u00e2t de ap\u0103s\u0103toare \u00eenc\u00e2t p\u0103rea s\u0103 \u021bi se \u00eenfig\u0103 \u00een timpane. Nicoleta Iliescu \u00ee\u0219i pierdu culoarea din obraji, Mihai Nicolae clipi dezorientat, iar Radu C\u0103t\u0103linescu r\u0103mase nemi\u0219cat, cu buzele \u00eentredeschise, incapabil s\u0103 proceseze scena din fa\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu ai dreptul s\u0103 faci asta\u2026 \u2014 \u00eeng\u0103im\u0103 Nicoleta, cu un aer jignit \u0219i ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ba da, am tot dreptul \u2014 \u00eei r\u0103spunse Ioana f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i coboare privirea. \u2014 Locuin\u021ba aceasta \u00eemi apar\u021bine. Este proprietatea mea. \u0218i nu voi mai tolera ca cineva s\u0103 dicteze \u00een casa mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u0103r\u0103 ezitare, se \u00eendrept\u0103 spre sufrageria unde socrii \u00ee\u0219i \u021bineau bagajele \u0219i \u00eencepu s\u0103 le adune hainele, \u00eemp\u0103turindu-le gr\u0103bit, dar metodic. Fiecare secund\u0103 se dilata chinuitor, \u00eens\u0103 nu se opri. Dac\u0103 ar fi f\u0103cut-o, ar fi cedat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, opre\u0219te-te! \u2014 Radu o prinse de bra\u021b, cu gestul disperat al cuiva care \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 st\u0103vileasc\u0103 un dezastru. \u2014 Nu le po\u021bi face asta p\u0103rin\u021bilor mei!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ba pot. \u2014 \u00ce\u0219i smulse m\u00e2na din str\u00e2nsoarea lui, \u00eencle\u0219t\u00e2nd maxilarul ca s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 \u00een fr\u00e2u furtuna din piept. \u2014 Iar dac\u0103 nu e\u0219ti de acord, po\u021bi pleca \u00eempreun\u0103 cu ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103? \u2014 f\u0103cu el un pas \u00eenapoi, ca lovit. \u2014 Vrei s\u0103 m\u0103 dai afar\u0103 \u0219i pe mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu te dau afar\u0103 \u2014 rosti ea, mai lini\u0219tit\u0103, dar la fel de ferm\u0103. \u2014 \u00ce\u021bi ofer o alegere. R\u0103m\u00e2i aici, l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, accept\u00e2nd regulile mele, sau pleci cu p\u0103rin\u021bii t\u0103i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ingratitudine! \u2014 izbucni Nicoleta, str\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-\u0219i buzele sub\u021biri. \u2014 Dup\u0103 tot ce am f\u0103cut pentru tine, asta primim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bagajele sunt gata \u2014 o \u00eentrerupse Ioana, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i acorde satisfac\u021bia unui duel verbal. \u2014 Ave\u021bi cinci minute s\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103si\u021bi apartamentul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i dac\u0103 nu? \u2014 \u00ee\u0219i \u00eengust\u0103 Nicoleta ochii, cu un z\u00e2mbet \u00eenc\u0103rcat de dispre\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci sun la poli\u021bie \u2014 replic\u0103 Ioana cu o calm\u0103 implacabil\u0103. \u2014 \u0218i depun pl\u00e2ngere pentru \u0219edere ilegal\u0103. V\u0103 asigur c\u0103 nu ezit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Radu! \u2014 \u021bip\u0103 Nicoleta, ag\u0103\u021b\u00e2ndu-se de m\u00e2neca fiului ei. \u2014 F\u0103 ceva!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Radu p\u0103rea \u00eempietrit. Privirea \u00eei alerga de la so\u021bie la p\u0103rin\u021bi, prins \u00eentre dou\u0103 loialit\u0103\u021bi care \u00eel sf\u00e2\u0219iau. Panica i se citea limpede pe chip; nu fusese pus niciodat\u0103 \u00eentr-o asemenea situa\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Timpul curge \u2014 ad\u0103ug\u0103 Ioana, arunc\u00e2nd o privire scurt\u0103 la ceas. De data aceasta nu mai era urm\u0103 de ezitare \u00een vocea ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicoleta deschise gura s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 ceva, \u00eens\u0103 Mihai \u00eei atinse bra\u021bul, vorbind \u00eencet, dar categoric:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai s\u0103 plec\u0103m, Nicoleta. E limpede c\u0103 nu suntem dori\u021bi aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum s\u0103 nu fim dori\u021bi? \u2014 izbucni ea, revoltat\u0103. \u2014 A\u0219a ceva nu se face \u00eentre rude! Radu, spune-i ceva!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El \u00ee\u0219i mut\u0103 greutatea de pe un picior pe altul, evit\u00e2nd ochii Ioanei. Tocmai aceast\u0103 evitare \u00eei str\u00e2nse inima mai tare dec\u00e2t orice cuv\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, poate c\u0103 nu trebuie s\u0103 mergem at\u00e2t de departe\u2026 putem discuta, s\u0103 g\u0103sim o cale\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mai e nimic de discutat \u2014 \u00eenchise ea subiectul, cu o hot\u0103r\u00e2re care p\u0103rea s\u0103 \u00eent\u0103reasc\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i pere\u021bii din jurul ei. \u2014 Decizia mea este luat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ca dou\u0103 umbre obosite, Nicoleta Iliescu \u0219i Mihai Nicolae \u00ee\u0219i ridicar\u0103 bagajele \u0219i se \u00eendreptar\u0103 spre u\u0219\u0103. \u00cen prag, Nicoleta se \u00eentoarse pentru ultima oar\u0103, cu ochii umezi \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103rca\u021bi de repro\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 R\u0103ducu, nu ne la\u0219i aici, nu-i a\u0219a?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu r\u0103mase pe loc, cople\u0219it, apoi \u00ee\u0219i ridic\u0103 m\u00e2inile \u00eentr-un gest neputincios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 eu\u2026 o s\u0103 \u00eencerc s\u0103 vorbesc cu Ioana, poate reu\u0219esc s\u0103 o fac s\u0103 se r\u0103zg\u00e2ndeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U\u0219a se \u00eenchise \u00een urma p\u0103rin\u021bilor lui, iar \u00een apartament se l\u0103s\u0103 o t\u0103cere ap\u0103s\u0103toare, dens\u0103 ca aerul dinaintea furtunii. Radu C\u0103t\u0103linescu r\u0103mase c\u00e2teva clipe nemi\u0219cat, apoi \u00ee\u0219i \u00eentoarse privirea spre Ioana Moldovan. \u00cen ochii lui se adunaser\u0103 explica\u021bii, scuze, regrete \u2014 at\u00e2tea, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape c\u0103 o f\u0103cur\u0103 s\u0103 cedeze. Aproape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, nu mi-am dorit s\u0103 ajungem aici\u2026 \u0218tii bine c\u0103 ai mei trec printr-o perioad\u0103 complicat\u0103. Renovarea aceea le-a dat totul peste cap\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana \u00eel privi obosit\u0103, ca \u0219i cum fiecare cuv\u00e2nt ar fi c\u00e2nt\u0103rit o ton\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce renovare, Radu? Nici m\u0103car n-au \u00eenceput-o. Au hot\u0103r\u00e2t pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 se mute aici \u0219i s\u0103 transforme casa mea \u00eentr-un teritoriu cucerit. Iar tu ai stat \u0219i ai privit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu e corect ce spui! \u2014 izbucni el, r\u0103nit. \u2014 N-au vrut s\u0103-\u021bi fac\u0103 r\u0103u. Au crezut c\u0103 ar fi mai bine s\u0103 locuim \u00eempreun\u0103, s\u0103 ne ajut\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai bine pentru cine? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 ea, a\u0219ez\u00e2ndu-se pe canapea, ca \u0219i cum puterile ar fi p\u0103r\u0103sit-o brusc. \u2014 Pentru tine? Pentru ei? S-a g\u00e2ndit cineva, m\u0103car o clip\u0103, \u0219i la mine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea \u0219i \u00eei c\u0103ut\u0103 m\u00e2na, ca un om care \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 se aga\u021be de ultima fr\u00e2nghie \u00eenainte de pr\u0103pastie. Dar Ioana era deja departe, retras\u0103 \u00eentr-un loc unde el nu mai avea acces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ioana, putem \u00eendrepta lucrurile. Vorbesc cu ei, le explic, g\u0103sim o solu\u021bie\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, Radu \u2014 vocea ei era joas\u0103, \u00eens\u0103 at\u00e2t de ferm\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t \u00eel f\u0103cu s\u0103 \u00eencremeneasc\u0103. \u2014 Nu mai e nimic de reparat. Voi depune actele de divor\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 divor\u021b? \u2014 se ridic\u0103 brusc, de parc\u0103 podeaua i-ar fi fugit de sub picioare. \u2014 Pentru o chestiune at\u00e2t de mic\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un z\u00e2mbet amar \u00eei atinse buzele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mic\u0103? A\u0219a nume\u0219ti faptul c\u0103 ai permis altora s\u0103 decid\u0103 \u00een locul meu, \u00een propria mea cas\u0103? Ai \u0219tiut c\u0103 inten\u021bioneaz\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 definitiv \u0219i ai t\u0103cut. Nu e o ne\u00een\u021belegere, Radu. E o tr\u0103dare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, Ioana p\u0103\u0219i \u00een cl\u0103direa tribunalului cu pa\u0219i siguri. Nu tremura. Hot\u0103r\u00e2rea ei era limpede, solid\u0103. C\u00e2nd s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103, nu a sim\u021bit nici team\u0103, nici regret. Doar o lini\u0219te stranie, ca \u0219i cum ar fi l\u0103sat \u00een urm\u0103 o povar\u0103 grea care \u00eei ap\u0103sase umerii prea mult timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a oscilat \u00eentre ea \u0219i p\u0103rin\u021bii lui, incapabil s\u0103-\u0219i g\u0103seasc\u0103 echilibrul. A venit \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 cu un buchet de flori, st\u00e2nd stingher \u00een prag, ca \u00eentr-un gest repetat din alte vremuri, c\u00e2nd \u00eenc\u0103 mai credea c\u0103 lucrurile se pot lipi la loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am \u00een\u021beles unde am gre\u0219it, Ioana. Te rog\u2026 hai s\u0103 mai \u00eencerc\u0103m o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar hot\u0103r\u00e2rea ei era rece \u0219i t\u0103ioas\u0103 precum un v\u00e2nt de iarn\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu, Radu. Tu \u021bi-ai ales drumul. Acum \u00eel aleg \u0219i eu pe al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 pronun\u021barea divor\u021bului, via\u021ba ei parc\u0103 a \u00eenceput s\u0103 respire din nou. S-a \u00eenscris la \u00eenot, \u0219i-a schimbat coafura, \u0219i-a cump\u0103rat haine pe care alt\u0103dat\u0103 nu ar fi \u00eendr\u0103znit s\u0103 le poarte. A ie\u0219it cu prietenele \u00een ora\u0219 \u0219i a ciocnit un pahar de vin f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 simt\u0103 privirea critic\u0103 a soacrei ap\u0103s\u00e2nd peste mas\u0103. Lucrurile m\u0103runte, c\u00e2ndva am\u00e2nate sau interzise tacit, au devenit bucurii fire\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, st\u00e2nd \u00een fotoliul ei preferat, cu o carte deschis\u0103 pe genunchi, Ioana a realizat c\u0103 nu-\u0219i aminte\u0219te c\u00e2nd s-a sim\u021bit ultima dat\u0103 at\u00e2t de vie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Libertate\u2026 \u2014 murmur\u0103 ea, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-\u0219i privirea s\u0103 alunece prin apartamentul redevenit al ei. \u2014 Asta conteaz\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telefonul vibr\u0103 pe m\u0103su\u021b\u0103, smulg\u00e2nd-o din g\u00e2nduri. Pe ecran ap\u0103rea numele Nicoletei Iliescu. Desigur, \u00eenc\u0103 o \u00eencercare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ioana privi apelul c\u00e2teva secunde, apoi \u00eel respinse f\u0103r\u0103 ezitare. Dup\u0103 aceea, \u0219terse num\u0103rul. De data aceasta, m\u00e2na nu i-a tremurat. Povestea aceea nu-i mai apar\u021binea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba ei se deschidea un nou \u00eenceput \u2014 un drum \u00een care grani\u021bele \u00eei erau respectate, iar deciziile \u00eei apar\u021bineau \u00een \u00eentregime. \u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, asta era suficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
