Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei s-a uitat nedumerit la Cristina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Stai pu\u021bin. Ana ce este aici?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei s-a uitat la mine, de parc\u0103 nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 \u00eei dau voie s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a continuat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 tocmai \u00eei spuneam c\u0103 m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 \u0219i-a g\u0103sit de lucru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei a r\u0103mas o secund\u0103 t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi s-a \u00eentors spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamna proprietar, dori\u021bi s\u0103 m\u0103 ocup eu de invita\u021bii dumneavoastr\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor n-a mai z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina \u0219i-a retras \u00eencet m\u00e2na de pe bra\u021bul lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Proprietar\u2026? a repetat ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor se uita c\u00e2nd la mine, c\u00e2nd la Andrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana\u2026 restaurantul \u0103sta este al t\u0103u?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cenainte s\u0103 r\u0103spund, Andrei a \u00eentrebat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Care dintre ele, doamna Ana? Acesta sau celelalte patru?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor m\u0103 privea de parc\u0103 a\u0219tepta s\u0103-i spun c\u0103 era o glum\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina a fost prima care a vorbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Celelalte\u2026 patru?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrei \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 spusese mai mult dec\u00e2t trebuia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi cer scuze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu-i nimic, Andrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat la Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da. Restaurantul este al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A privit \u00een jur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La mesele ocupate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La oamenii care a\u0219teptau la intrare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La personalul care trecea gr\u0103bit prin sal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am muncit. Am gre\u0219it. Am luat-o de la cap\u0103t. Apoi am muncit din nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina a \u00eencercat s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cinci restaurante \u00een cinci ani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cinci acum, a spus Andrei. Al \u0219aselea se deschide la Cluj \u00een toamn\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor \u0219i-a \u00eentors capul spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana\u2026 eu nu \u0219tiam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Credeam c\u0103 dup\u0103 divor\u021b\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u0103 n-o s\u0103 am bani nici s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc? l-am ajutat eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina s-a uitat imediat la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Asta mi-a spus \u00een ultima noastr\u0103 sear\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor \u0219i-a desf\u0103cut incomod nasturele sacoului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Eram nervos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu. Erai foarte sigur pe tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le-am ar\u0103tat sala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Masa voastr\u0103 este preg\u0103tit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana, a\u0219teapt\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t vocea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Putem vorbi pu\u021bin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina s-a \u00eentors spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Despre ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Despre firm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acolo mi-am dat seama c\u0103 nu era vorba doar despre revederea noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218tiam din cercurile de afaceri c\u0103 firma lui Victor trecea printr-o perioad\u0103 proast\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u0219tiam c\u00e2t de proast\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cinci minute, am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am urcat \u00een biroul de la etaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a intrat dup\u0103 mine \u0219i a \u00eenchis u\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la planurile noului restaurant \u0219i la fotografiile celorlalte loca\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Deci chiar ai f\u0103cut toate astea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Singur\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ridicat spr\u00e2nceana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tot \u021bi se pare imposibil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-am vrut s\u0103 spun asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a a\u0219ezat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Firma mea are probleme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am pierdut dou\u0103 contracte importante. Banca ne-a redus linia de credit. Dac\u0103 nu g\u0103sesc finan\u021bare repede\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Intri \u00een insolven\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am nevoie de 400.000 de euro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ai venit s\u0103-i ceri fostei tale so\u021bii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiam c\u0103 restaurantele sunt ale tale c\u00e2nd am venit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Asta nu te ajut\u0103 deloc, Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a gr\u0103bit s\u0103-mi explice c\u0103 putea oferi dob\u00e2nd\u0103, garan\u021bii, c\u0103 firma \u00eenc\u0103 avea contracte \u0219i putea fi salvat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am oprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nici m\u0103car nu m-ai l\u0103sat s\u0103 termin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 r\u0103spunsul nu depinde de garan\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a ridicat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dup\u0103 tot ce am avut \u00eempreun\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tocmai pentru c\u0103 \u00eemi amintesc ce am avut \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd ai plecat, mi-ai spus c\u0103 firma era a ta \u0219i c\u0103 eu nu construisem nimic. Mi-ai blocat accesul la bani \u0219i mi-ai spus c\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 tine n-o s\u0103 m\u0103 pot \u00eentre\u021bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am f\u0103cut gre\u0219eli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai f\u0103cut alegeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am deschis sertarul biroului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a urm\u0103rit imediat mi\u0219carea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probabil credea c\u0103 urma s\u0103 scot un carnet de cecuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am pus pe mas\u0103 o carte de vizit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Un avocat specializat \u00een restructur\u0103ri \u0219i insolven\u021b\u0103. Este foarte bun. Dac\u0103 firma mai poate fi salvat\u0103, te poate ajuta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor s-a uitat la cartea de vizit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 At\u00e2t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a ridicat imediat privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai am o ofert\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce ofert\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am nevoie de un manager pentru aprovizionare la restaurantul din Cluj. Cuno\u0219ti furnizorii, negocierile \u0219i domeniul. Salariul este bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi oferi\u2026 o slujb\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00ce\u021bi ofer posibilitatea s\u0103 participi la interviu pentru ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fa\u021ba i s-a \u00eenro\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vrei s\u0103 m\u0103 umile\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 voiam s\u0103 te umilesc, te l\u0103sam s\u0103 continui glumele despre sp\u0103latul vaselor \u00een fa\u021ba angaja\u021bilor mei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eempins cartea de vizit\u0103 spre el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tu mi-ai spus c\u0103 nu sunt f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru afaceri. Eu nu-\u021bi spun c\u0103 nu e\u0219ti bun la ceea ce faci. Dar nici nu-\u021bi voi da 400.000 de euro pentru c\u0103 am fost c\u00e2ndva c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a luat cartea de vizit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 pot lucra pentru tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci nu lucra. Oferta de interviu r\u0103m\u00e2ne valabil\u0103 o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd am cobor\u00e2t, Cristina ne a\u0219tepta la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai avea z\u00e2mbetul de la intrare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce-a\u021bi discutat at\u00e2t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor s-a a\u0219ezat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu am r\u0103mas \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cina este din partea casei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina \u0219i-a \u00eendreptat spatele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu vrem poman\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu este poman\u0103. Este ospitalitate. Aici trat\u0103m bine fiecare client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor se uita la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina \u00eel privea uluit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru atunci, a continuat el. Pentru ce \u021bi-am spus \u0219i pentru cum m-am purtat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu cinci ani \u00eenainte a\u0219 fi dat orice s\u0103 aud cuvintele acelea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acum nu mai schimbau nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sper s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021bi ceva din ce \u021bi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103, Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i m-am \u00eentors la treaba mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trei zile mai t\u00e2rziu mi-a trimis un singur mesaj:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAm sunat avocatul. Mul\u021bumesc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dou\u0103 zile dup\u0103 aceea a venit \u0219i al doilea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInterviul pentru Cluj mai este valabil?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-am r\u0103spuns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDa. Dar vei trece prin acela\u0219i proces ca to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a venit la interviu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu l-am intervievat eu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i nu a primit postul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un alt candidat fusese mai potrivit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firma lui a intrat ulterior \u00een restructurare, iar avocatul pe care i-l recomandaser\u0103m l-a ajutat s\u0103 evite \u00eenchiderea imediat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu mi-am continuat extinderea restaurantelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor \u0219i Cristina au r\u0103mas \u00eempreun\u0103 o vreme, apoi drumurile noastre s-au separat complet \u0219i n-am mai avut niciun motiv s\u0103 urm\u0103resc ce f\u0103ceau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru mine, lucrul important se \u00eencheiase deja \u00een seara aceea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor intrase \u00een restaurant convins c\u0103 m\u0103 g\u0103sise exact acolo unde prezisese el cu cinci ani \u00eenainte: jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A plecat \u0219tiind c\u0103 se \u00een\u0219elase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu am r\u0103mas acolo unde ajunsesem f\u0103r\u0103 el.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
