Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii \ud83d\udc49 A\u0219 vrea s\u0103 ridic acest pahar pentru so\u021bul meu, spuse Mariana calm. Pentru omul al\u0103turi de care am tr\u0103it dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani\u2026 \u0219i despre care am aflat \u00een seara asta c\u0103 eu \u0219tiu mult mai multe dec\u00e2t \u0219tie el despre mine.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva persoane z\u00e2mbir\u0103, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 glume\u0219te despre jocul de mai devreme.<\/p>\n
Andrei \u00eens\u0103 nu mai z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mariana\u2026 ce faci? \u0219opti el.<\/p>\n
Ea continu\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani, so\u021bul meu n-a reu\u0219it s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 minte culoarea mea preferat\u0103. Nu \u0219tie ce carte iubesc \u0219i nici m\u0103car ce fac cu adev\u0103rat \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>\n
Mariana f\u0103cu o scurt\u0103 pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar am descoperit c\u0103 are o memorie extraordinar\u0103 c\u00e2nd trebuie s\u0103 aleag\u0103 rochia potrivit\u0103 pentru alt\u0103 femeie.<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
De data aceasta, nimeni nu mai z\u00e2mbea.<\/p>\n
La c\u00e2teva mese distan\u021b\u0103, Larisa \u00ee\u0219i cobor\u00ee privirea spre rochia ro\u0219ie.<\/p>\n
Andrei p\u0103li.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai \u00een\u021beles gre\u0219it, murmur\u0103 el. Te rog, a\u0219az\u0103-te. Discut\u0103m acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mariana \u00eel privi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Acas\u0103? Andrei, noi nu mai discut\u0103m acas\u0103 de ani \u00eentregi. Eu vorbesc, iar tu \u00eemi r\u0103spunzi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridici ochii din telefon: \u201eDa, am \u00een\u021beles.\u201d<\/p>\n
C\u00e2\u021biva colegi \u00ee\u0219i cobor\u00e2r\u0103 privirile, st\u00e2njeni\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219 putea s\u0103 spun acum numele femeii, continu\u0103 Mariana. A\u0219 putea s\u0103 vorbesc despre mesaje \u0219i \u00eent\u00e2lniri. Dar nu voi face asta. Pentru c\u0103 ea nu mi-a promis nimic mie. Tu ai f\u0103cut-o.<\/p>\n
Andrei r\u0103mase nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
Mariana ridic\u0103 u\u0219or paharul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A\u0219a c\u0103 toastul meu nu este pentru c\u0103snicia noastr\u0103. Este pentru luciditate. Pentru momentul \u00een care \u00eencetezi s\u0103 te mai min\u021bi singur doar fiindc\u0103 adev\u0103rul doare.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i \u00eendrept\u0103 privirea spre so\u021b.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i pentru via\u021ba mea de dup\u0103 aceast\u0103 sear\u0103. O via\u021b\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 un b\u0103rbat care \u0219tie perfect ce rochie \u00eei vine bine altei femei, dar nu mai \u0219tie aproape nimic despre propria so\u021bie.<\/p>\n
A\u0219ez\u0103 paharul pe mas\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 bea.<\/p>\n
Nimeni nu aplaud\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mariana \u00ee\u0219i lu\u0103 geanta \u0219i porni spre ie\u0219ire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mariana, a\u0219tepta\u021bi!<\/p>\n
Era Larisa.<\/p>\n
Mariana se opri.<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103ra venise dup\u0103 ea, vizibil tulburat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Trebuie s\u0103 v\u0103 spun ceva. Andrei mi-a spus c\u0103 voi doi sunte\u021bi desp\u0103r\u021bi\u021bi. C\u0103 locui\u021bi \u00eempreun\u0103 doar p\u00e2n\u0103 rezolva\u021bi ni\u0219te probleme \u0219i c\u0103 divor\u021bul e o formalitate.<\/p>\n
Mariana o privi c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Nu sim\u021bea furie fa\u021b\u0103 de femeia din fa\u021ba ei. Doar o oboseal\u0103 imens\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Se pare c\u0103 \u00eentr-un singur lucru a spus adev\u0103rul, r\u0103spunse ea. De mult tr\u0103iam ca doi str\u0103ini. Doar c\u0103 eu am fost ultima care a aflat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ajunge!<\/p>\n
Vocea lui Andrei r\u0103sun\u0103 \u00een spatele lor.<\/p>\n
Venise dup\u0103 ele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u0103 face\u021bi s\u0103 par un monstru! Da, am vorbit cu Larisa. Da, ne-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit. Dar tu crezi c\u0103 acas\u0103 era totul perfect? Munceai mereu, erai obosit\u0103, st\u0103teai cu traducerile tale p\u00e2n\u0103 noaptea\u2026<\/p>\n
Mariana \u00eel ascult\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
\u0218i tocmai atunci \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 luase decizia corect\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nici acum nu spunea \u201eiart\u0103-m\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tot ea trebuia s\u0103 poarte o parte din vina pentru alegerea lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii de ce munceam noaptea? \u00eel \u00eentreb\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 trebuiau pl\u0103tite lucrurile pe care le construisem \u00eempreun\u0103. \u0218tii de ce am \u00eencetat s\u0103-\u021bi mai povestesc ce simt? Pentru c\u0103 tu \u00eencetase\u0219i s\u0103 m\u0103 ascul\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Andrei t\u0103cu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar nimic din toate astea nu te obliga s\u0103 m\u0103 min\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Mariana ie\u0219i din restaurant.<\/p>\n
Aerul r\u0103coros al serii \u00eei lovi obrajii.<\/p>\n
Abia ajunsese l\u00e2ng\u0103 intrare c\u00e2nd Andrei o prinse din urm\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru ni\u0219te mesaje arunci dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu plec din cauza unor mesaje.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci din cauza cui?<\/p>\n
Mariana \u00eel privi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Din cauza noastr\u0103. Sau, mai exact, din cauza a ceea ce nu mai exist\u0103 \u00eentre noi de foarte mult timp.<\/p>\n
Andrei p\u0103rea pentru prima dat\u0103 speriat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pun cap\u0103t rela\u021biei cu Larisa. Chiar acum. Plec\u0103m undeva \u00eempreun\u0103, discut\u0103m, repar\u0103m lucrurile\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu nu vrei s\u0103 repari c\u0103snicia, Andrei. Vrei s\u0103 nu pierzi via\u021ba cu care te-ai obi\u0219nuit.<\/p>\n
El \u00eencremeni.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde te duci?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen apartamentul r\u0103mas de la mama.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u00e2teva zile?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu.<\/p>\n
Mariana f\u0103cu o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am dus deja acolo o parte dintre lucrurile mele.<\/p>\n
Andrei o privi uluit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai preg\u0103tit toate astea?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mi-am preg\u0103tit r\u0103zbunarea. Mi-am preg\u0103tit plecarea.<\/p>\n
Taxi-ul opri \u00een fa\u021ba lor.<\/p>\n
Mariana urc\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai \u00eentoarc\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Andrei o sun\u0103 de zeci de ori.<\/p>\n
Mai \u00eent\u00e2i o rug\u0103 s\u0103 vin\u0103 acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00eei repro\u0219\u0103 c\u0103 \u00eel umilise \u00een fa\u021ba colegilor.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 aceea \u00eencepu s\u0103 promit\u0103 c\u0103 se va schimba.<\/p>\n
Mariana \u00eei r\u0103spunse o singur\u0103 dat\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 discut\u0103m, vom discuta despre divor\u021b.<\/p>\n
Urm\u0103toarele luni nu au fost u\u0219oare.<\/p>\n
Andrei continua s\u0103 spun\u0103 c\u0103 dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani nu puteau fi distru\u0219i de \u201ec\u00e2teva mesaje\u201d.<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi, c\u00e2nd fiul lor de dou\u0103zeci \u0219i cinci de ani veni la Mariana.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, vreau s\u0103-\u021bi spun ceva.<\/p>\n
Se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Toat\u0103 copil\u0103ria te-am v\u0103zut \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-l faci pe tata s\u0103 te asculte. \u0218i am crezut c\u0103 a\u0219a arat\u0103 o c\u0103snicie.<\/p>\n
Mariana sim\u021bi un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Acea propozi\u021bie o duru aproape mai tare dec\u00e2t tr\u0103darea lui Andrei.<\/p>\n
Atunci \u00een\u021belese c\u0103 plecarea ei nu mai era doar despre propria demnitate.<\/p>\n
Era \u0219i despre exemplul pe care \u00eel l\u0103sa copilului ei.<\/p>\n
Divor\u021bul se \u00eencheie c\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
Larisa plec\u0103 din companie \u0219i, \u00eenainte s\u0103 dispar\u0103 definitiv din via\u021ba lor, \u00eei trimise Marianei un mesaj \u00een care \u00ee\u0219i cerea iertare.<\/p>\n
Mariana nu o ur\u00ee.<\/p>\n
Omul care \u00eei f\u0103cuse promisiuni fusese Andrei.<\/p>\n
Iar ea nu mai voia s\u0103-\u0219i consume via\u021ba ur\u00e2nd pe nimeni.<\/p>\n
\u0218ase luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Mariana \u00eenchiriase un mic birou \u00eempreun\u0103 cu o alt\u0103 traduc\u0103toare. Avea mai mul\u021bi clien\u021bi, c\u0103l\u0103torise singur\u0103 la Sibiu \u0219i \u00eencepuse s\u0103 fac\u0103 lucruri f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 Andrei le considera importante.<\/p>\n
El, \u00een schimb, \u00eencerca \u00eenc\u0103 s\u0103 o rec\u00e2\u0219tige.<\/p>\n
\u00cei trimitea flori.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i amintise brusc anivers\u0103rile.<\/p>\n
Citise p\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i cartea despre care, dup\u0103 dou\u0103zeci \u0219i doi de ani de c\u0103snicie, nu \u0219tiuse c\u0103 era preferata ei.<\/p>\n
Dar era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
\u00cencepuse s\u0103-\u0219i cunoasc\u0103 so\u021bia abia dup\u0103 ce o pierduse.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, fiul ei o \u00eentreb\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, regre\u021bi ce ai f\u0103cut la petrecerea firmei? Toastul acela, \u00een fa\u021ba tuturor?<\/p>\n
Mariana r\u0103mase c\u00e2teva clipe pe g\u00e2nduri.<\/p>\n
Apoi z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
Fiul ei o privi surprins.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Regret un singur lucru.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n
Mariana se uit\u0103 pe fereastr\u0103, spre ora\u0219ul luminat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u0103 nu am avut curajul s\u0103-l rostesc cu zece ani mai devreme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
