La ora 14:53 a v\u0103zut-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina ie\u0219ea din mall cu pas gr\u0103bit, \u021bin\u00e2nd telefonul lipit de ureche. Purta paltonul crem pe care el i-l cump\u0103rase la Paris cu un an \u00eenainte \u0219i avea expresia aceea elegant\u0103 pe care oamenii o confundau mereu cu lini\u0219tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a sim\u021bit cum \u00eei amor\u021besc m\u00e2inile pe volan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea s-a apropiat de taxi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l priveasc\u0103 atent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deschis portiera din spate \u0219i a intrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua. \u00cen Prim\u0103verii, v\u0103 rog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t de cunoscut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e2t de str\u0103in\u0103 \u00een acela\u0219i timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a pornit ma\u0219ina f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen oglinda retrovizoare \u00eei vedea chipul obosit. Mult mai obosit dec\u00e2t \u00ee\u0219i imaginase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina \u0219i-a sprijinit capul de geam \u0219i a oftat lung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi telefonul ei a vibrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul \u0219i-a \u00eencordat maxilarul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a citit mesajul \u0219i, pentru c\u00e2teva secunde, a \u00eenchis ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 B\u0103rba\u021bii sunt ni\u0219te la\u0219i\u2026 \u2014 a murmurat \u00eencet, crez\u00e2nd probabil c\u0103 taximetristul nici nu o ascult\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul aproape c\u0103 a ap\u0103sat prea tare fr\u00e2na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u0219a r\u0103u e? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el, schimb\u00e2ndu-\u0219i vocea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un r\u00e2s trist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi \u00eensurat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centrebarea l-a lovit direct \u00een piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci poate m\u0103 \u00een\u021belege\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a sim\u021bit c\u0103 \u00eei \u00eenghea\u021b\u0103 stomacul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde \u00eenainte s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 So\u021bul meu nu m\u0103 mai vede de ani de zile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuvintele acelea l-au t\u0103iat mai r\u0103u dec\u00e2t orice insult\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ploaia continua s\u0103 loveasc\u0103 geamurile \u00een timp ce Bucure\u0219tiul curgea \u00eencet \u00een jurul lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Avem bani. Avem case. Vacan\u021be. Tot ce vrea lumea. Dar omul \u0103la\u2026 nu mai \u0219tie cine sunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul str\u00e2ngea volanul at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t \u00eel dureau degetele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i mesajul? \u2014 a \u00eentrebat el cu voce joas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a z\u00e2mbit amar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u021bi auzit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Greu s\u0103 nu aud \u00eentr-o ma\u0219in\u0103 mic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea \u0219i-a l\u0103sat privirea \u00een jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu am pe nimeni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a clipit surprins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mesajele sunt de la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru o secund\u0103, lumea lui s-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021beleg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina \u0219i-a \u0219ters discret o lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mi le trimit singur\u0103 de aproape trei luni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul aproape c\u0103 a tras ma\u0219ina pe dreapta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce ar face cineva asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea a r\u00e2s din nou, dar de data asta vocea \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ca s\u0103 v\u0103d dac\u0103 \u00eei mai pas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen pieptul lui Paul s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O lini\u0219te grea \u0219i ru\u0219inoas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 pare nebunesc\u2026 dar eram disperat\u0103. Nu m\u0103 mai privea. Nu mai vorbea cu mine dec\u00e2t despre afaceri, facturi \u0219i \u00eent\u00e2lniri. Uneori treceau zile \u00eentregi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 sunt bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul sim\u021bea fiecare cuv\u00e2nt ca pe o lovitur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i atunci am \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi trimit singur\u0103 mesaje de pe un num\u0103r secundar. Am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103d dac\u0103 observ\u0103. Dac\u0103 devine gelos. Dac\u0103 lupt\u0103 pentru mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar \u00een schimb\u2026 s-a \u00eendep\u0103rtat \u0219i mai tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul nu mai putea respira normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toate nop\u021bile petrecute la birou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toate anivers\u0103rile ratate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toate conversa\u021biile scurte \u0219i gr\u0103bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crezuse c\u0103 \u00eei ofer\u0103 totul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar uitase s\u0103-i ofere singurul lucru de care ea avea nevoie: prezen\u021ba lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd au ajuns \u00een fa\u021ba casei, C\u0103t\u0103lina a r\u0103mas c\u00e2teva secunde nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a spus \u00eencet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi ce e cel mai trist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a \u00eenghi\u021bit greu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce anume?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u0103 dac\u0103 so\u021bul meu ar ap\u0103rea acum \u00een fa\u021ba mea \u0219i m-ar \u00eentreba sincer dac\u0103 \u00eel mai iubesc\u2026 i-a\u0219 spune da f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ochii lui Paul s-au umplut imediat de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar ea nu putea vedea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina \u0219i-a deschis po\u0219eta \u0219i a scos ni\u0219te bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103stra\u021bi restul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi a cobor\u00e2t din taxi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-l priveasc\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat minute \u00eentregi \u00een fa\u021ba casei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ploaia continua s\u0103 curg\u0103 peste parbriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it \u00een\u021belesese adev\u0103rul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So\u021bia lui nu \u00eel tr\u0103dase niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar el o abandonase pu\u021bin c\u00e2te pu\u021bin \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea n-a mers la hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-a mers la birou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a dus direct acas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina era \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie c\u00e2nd a intrat. Purta pijamale \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i \u021binea cana de ceai cu ambele m\u00e2ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ridicat surprins\u0103 privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Paul? Ce faci acas\u0103 a\u0219a devreme?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El s-a apropiat \u00eencet de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 foarte mul\u021bi ani, a privit-o cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Iart\u0103-m\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu elegant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu controlat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ci ca un om care \u00een\u021belege prea t\u00e2rziu c\u00e2t de aproape a fost s\u0103 piard\u0103 tot ce conta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea au vorbit p\u00e2n\u0103 diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despre singur\u0103tate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despre gre\u0219eli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despre toate lucrurile pe care le ascunseser\u0103 sub lux \u0219i t\u0103ceri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar c\u00e2nd soarele a \u00eenceput s\u0103 lumineze ferestrele casei lor uria\u0219e, Paul a \u00een\u021beles ceva ce nu \u00eenv\u0103\u021base din niciun contract \u0219i din nicio afacere:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneori oamenii nu pleac\u0103 din lips\u0103 de iubire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pleac\u0103 din lips\u0103 de a fi v\u0103zu\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
