Am l\u0103sat paharul jos, iar zgomotul u\u0219or al sticlei pe lemnul mesei a f\u0103cut to\u021bi ochii s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 spre mine. Z\u00e2mbeam, dar \u00een interiorul meu se ridica un val cald, o for\u021b\u0103 pe care nu o mai sim\u021bisem de mult.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219 vrea s\u0103 spun \u0219i eu c\u00e2teva cuvinte, am \u00eenceput, cu voce calm\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doamna Popa \u0219i sora ei \u0219i-au \u00eendreptat spatele, surprinse. Restul mesei a t\u0103cut. Doar licuricii de deasupra continuau s\u0103 danseze prin aer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, v\u0103 mul\u021bumesc pentru ospitalitate, am spus \u00een rom\u00e2n\u0103.Apoi m-am \u00eentors c\u0103tre cele dou\u0103 femei care vorbiser\u0103 \u00een spaniol\u0103.\u2014Gracias por sus comentarios sobre mi vestido,am continuat cu un z\u00e2mbet larg.Me alegra saber que todav\u00eda se aprecia la moda cl\u00e1sica.Se uitau la mine ca la o fantom\u0103.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eentors apoi privirea c\u0103tre b\u0103rbatul \u00een costum gri, care \u0219optise \u00een arab\u0103.\u2014\u0623\u0646\u062a\u0645 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u062d\u0642\u060c \u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0628\u0633\u064a\u0637\u0629\u060c \u0648\u0644\u0643\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0633\u0627\u0637\u0629 \u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0639\u0646\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0639\u0641.(\u201eAve\u021bi dreptate, sunt simpl\u0103, dar simplitatea nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 sl\u0103biciune.\u201d)<\/p>\n
Un murmur s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit printre invita\u021bi. Unii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 schimbe priviri nelini\u0219tite, al\u021bii au z\u00e2mbit \u00eencurca\u021bi.<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat \u00een picioare.\u2014 \u0218ti\u021bi, am crescut \u00eentr-un mic ora\u0219 din Rom\u00e2nia, dar am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat repede c\u0103 omul nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een haine scumpe sau \u00een diplome. Tata m-a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat c\u0103 adev\u0103rata clas\u0103 st\u0103 \u00een felul \u00een care \u00eei tratezi pe ceilal\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Doamna Popa \u00ee\u0219i pierduse z\u00e2mbetul politicos.\u2014 Draga mea, nu voiam s\u0103\u2026\u2014 Oh, \u0219tiu, am \u00eentrerupt-o bl\u00e2nd. N-a\u021bi vrut. Doar a\u021bi presupus.<\/p>\n
M-am aplecat u\u0219or spre ea.\u2014 \u0218i presupunerile, doamn\u0103 Popa, pot fi mai ur\u00e2te dec\u00e2t orice gre\u0219eal\u0103 de gramatic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Radu m\u0103 privea uimit, dar \u00een ochii lui se citea m\u00e2ndria.\u2014 Mama, tata, sper c\u0103 acum \u00een\u021belege\u021bi de ce m-am \u00eendr\u0103gostit de ea, a spus el, ridic\u00e2ndu-se \u0219i lu\u00e2ndu-mi m\u00e2na.<\/p>\n
A fost lini\u0219te. O lini\u0219te dens\u0103, grea, care plutea peste mas\u0103 ca o cea\u021b\u0103.Apoi, cineva a \u00eenceput s\u0103 aplaude. O femeie mai \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103, probabil o m\u0103tu\u0219\u0103, \u0219i-a lovit palmele \u00eencet, apoi din ce \u00een ce mai hot\u0103r\u00e2t. Cur\u00e2nd, toat\u0103 masa o urma.<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit \u0219i am f\u0103cut o mic\u0103 plec\u0103ciune.\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, am spus \u00een rom\u00e2n\u0103. \u0218i, doar pentru c\u0103 tot a\u021bi \u00eenceput seara cu at\u00e2tea limbi, permite\u021bi-mi s\u0103 \u00eenchei tot a\u0219a.Am continuat \u00een spaniol\u0103, apoi \u00een arab\u0103, \u0219i, \u00een final, am spus \u00een englez\u0103:\u2014 Respectul e universal.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 cin\u0103, doamna Popa s-a apropiat de mine.\u2014 M-ai f\u0103cut de ru\u0219ine \u00een fa\u021ba tuturor, dar \u00eentr-un mod\u2026 elegant, a spus ea, cu o sinceritate nea\u0219teptat\u0103.\u2014 N-am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103 fac de ru\u0219ine, doar s\u0103 m\u0103 fac auzit\u0103, am r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la mine lung, apoi a oftat.\u2014 Cred c\u0103 Radu are noroc cu tine.<\/p>\n
Mai t\u00e2rziu, c\u00e2nd am ie\u0219it din curte, aerul nop\u021bii era proasp\u0103t \u0219i r\u0103coros. M-am oprit o clip\u0103 \u0219i m-am uitat \u00eenapoi. Luminile \u00eenc\u0103 sclipeau, dar atmosfera se schimbase.<\/p>\n
Radu mi-a str\u00e2ns m\u00e2na.\u2014 Ai fost incredibil\u0103.\u2014 N-am f\u0103cut dec\u00e2t s\u0103 le ar\u0103t cine sunt.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea sear\u0103, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 apar\u021bin. Nu pentru c\u0103 vorbeam limbile lor, ci pentru c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u00eemi vorbeam propria mea limb\u0103 \u2014 cea a demnit\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
