M\u0103tu\u0219a mea \u0219i-a dorit s\u0103 fie incinerat\u0103. \u0218i m\u0103 rog, asta n-ar fi fost nimic, dac\u0103 n-ar fi \u00eenceput bine\u00een\u021beles toate neamurile s\u0103-mi sar\u0103-n cap. C\u0103 nu se poate, c\u0103 nu e cre\u0219tine\u0219te, c\u0103 e p\u0103cat \u0219i-a\u0219a mai departe. Dar ce era s\u0103 fac? Eram singura rud\u0103 apropiat\u0103 \u0219i mi-a l\u0103sat chiar o scrisoare cu indica\u021bii precise, \u00een care aproape-mi explica \u0219i cum vrea s\u0103 fie pus\u0103-n urn\u0103. Plus o declara\u021bie autentificat\u0103 la notar, \u00een care se asigura c\u0103 nu o bag \u00een groap\u0103<\/em>, cum spunea ea. \u0218i pentru mine a fost mai simplu a\u0219a, c\u0103 st\u0103team \u00een Japonia \u0219i c\u00e2nd s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, m-au sunat de la spital pe 1 ianuarie. Oricum n-a\u0219 fi putut ajunge at\u00e2t de repede dac\u0103 trebuia s-o \u00eenmorm\u00e2nt\u0103m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Alo?\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce faci, de ce nu r\u0103spunzi? Am sunat deja de cinci ori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dormeam, e patru diminea\u021ba la mine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Aoleu, iart\u0103-m\u0103, iar am uitat. Hai c\u0103 te las atunci, vorbim m\u00e2ine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Acum zi, dac\u0103 tot m-ai trezit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bine, uite de ce te-am sunat, \u00een cur\u00e2nd se fac 40 de zile. Ar trebui f\u0103cut\u0103 o pomenire, a\u0219a e cre\u0219tine\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, \u0219tiu. S\u00e2mb\u0103t\u0103 pic\u0103. Vorbisem aici la biserica rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, aranjasem tot, \u0219i-am aflat zilele trecute, total \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor, c\u0103 preotul a trebuit s\u0103 plece de urgen\u021b\u0103 cu o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 mai devreme \u0219i nu mai poate \u021bine slujba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 P\u0103i asta nu e bine. \u0218i nu po\u021bi \u00een alt\u0103 parte?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dar voi nu pute\u021bi face ceva acolo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ba da, am putea. Hai c\u0103 o s\u0103 vorbesc la biserica din deal, c\u0103-l cunosc pe preot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mersi mult, ar fi de ajutor. O s\u0103 ajung \u0219i eu \u00een \u021bar\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na viitoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bine, a\u0219a facem. Hai c\u0103 te las s\u0103 dormi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N-am mai apucat s\u0103 r\u0103spund, c\u0103 deja \u00eenchisese. Aveam bilet abia \u00een dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u0103tu\u0219a nu suferea ritualurile biserice\u0219ti, nici crucile sau spovedaniile, iar eu nu f\u0103cusem coliv\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea \u0219i nici nu m\u0103 omoram dup\u0103 ea. \u0218tiu c\u0103 sunt persoane c\u0103rora le place. Am v\u0103zut c\u0103 mai nou apare \u0219i prin meniurile restaurantelor la desert, ca ceva deosebit. A\u0219 prefera un lapte de pas\u0103re totu\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u0103 rog, noroc cu doamna Geta, care face m\u00e2ncare rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 \u0219i o vinde pe Facebook, cu livrare a doua zi, oriunde \u00een Tokyo. La ea comand c\u00e2nd mai e vreo s\u0103rb\u0103toare \u0219i \u00eemi trebuie ceva mig\u0103los gen sarmale, salat\u0103 boeuf, din astea pe care le-ai m\u00e2nca o dat\u0103 pe an, dar nu-\u021bi vine s\u0103 te apuci s\u0103 le preg\u0103te\u0219ti. \u00cen perioada asta nici arpaca\u0219 nu mai avea, dar s-a oferit totu\u0219i s\u0103 m\u0103 ajute. Nu \u0219tiu ce-o fi pus \u00een loc, am uitat ce-a zis c\u0103 era. M\u0103 bucuram doar c\u0103 puteam face un fel de pomenire \u00eentre prieteni. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen\u0219irasem pe mas\u0103 pulpele de pui cu piure, castrave\u021bii mura\u021bi, cozonacul, cutia de un kilogram plin\u0103 ochi de coliv\u0103, pe care f\u0103cusem o cruce din bomboane m&m, t\u0103m\u00e2ia \u0219i chibriturile. Lum\u00e2narea aprins\u0103 o \u021bineam solemn \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, c\u0103 \u00een coliv\u0103 nu st\u0103tea dec\u00e2t \u00eentr-o r\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 La noi se spune \u201es\u0103 fie primit pentru cel care a plecat\u201d, le-am explicat celor patru japonezi str\u00e2n\u0219i \u00een jurul mesei, care aprobau din cap \u0219i scoteau sunete de uimire la vederea ritualului p\u0103g\u00e2n care se desf\u0103\u0219ura sub privirile lor disperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd am b\u0103gat lingura \u00een coliv\u0103, s-a \u00eentins ca natto[1]<\/a> \u0219i parc\u0103 li se t\u0103iase tuturor cheful. Degeaba am deschis Wikipedia \u0219i le-am povestit tradi\u021bia cu \u201ethe dead\u2019s cake\u201d, \u00een \u00eencercarea de a o face s\u0103 par\u0103 mai apetisant\u0103. Dup\u0103 ce coliva m\u00e2njise castroanele ca balele de vac\u0103, nici un japonez n-a mai vrut s\u0103 pun\u0103 gura pe ea. Au luat din polite\u021be c\u00e2te-o linguri\u021b\u0103 \u0219i-apoi s-au scuzat \u0219i s-au retras. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 a trebuit s\u0103 arunc 90% din por\u021bia imens\u0103 de coliv\u0103 necomestibil\u0103. Las\u0103 c\u0103 \u0219tiu c\u0103 nu-\u021bi pl\u0103ceau coliva \u0219i nici popii. Bine c\u0103 m\u0103car cozonacul a ie\u0219it c\u00e2t de c\u00e2t. <\/em>Atunci am sim\u021bit prima oar\u0103 c\u0103 m\u0103tu\u0219a \u00eenc\u0103 mai trage i\u021bele numai cum vrea ea, de acolo de undeva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am ajuns la Bucure\u0219ti dup\u0103 24 de ore pe drum, fix de Sf\u00e2ntul Valentin. Am luat un taxi \u0219i m-am dus direct la garsoniera m\u0103tu\u0219ii, undeva \u00eentr-o zon\u0103 industrial\u0103 din sectorul 3. Celelalte cl\u0103diri erau la ceva distan\u021b\u0103 dep\u0103rtare, ceea ce f\u0103cea blocul s\u0103 arate ca un c\u0103min de nefamili\u0219ti, aruncat \u00een mijlocul unui maidan cu iarba \u00eeng\u0103lbenit\u0103 de c\u0103ldur\u0103. U\u0219a de la interfon s-a deschis cu un p\u0103c\u0103nit scurt, am intrat \u0219i m-am oprit \u00eent\u00e2i la avizier. Nu avea restan\u021be, ceea ce nu era de mirare, la c\u00e2t de organizat\u0103 era, probabil c\u0103 pl\u0103tise \u00een avans. De pe holul lung \u0219i \u00eentunecat cu intr\u0103ri pe ambele p\u0103r\u021bi se auzeau voci. Trei femei \u0219i un b\u0103rbat se str\u00e2nseser\u0103 \u00een dreptul u\u0219ii ei de la parter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u0103tr\u00e2nul adus de spate, \u00eembr\u0103cat \u00een haine de gardian, aprinsese o candel\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 prag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen spatele lui, o femeie cu ni\u0219te zulufi c\u0103run\u021bi ie\u0219i\u021bi dintr-o c\u0103ciul\u0103 m\u00e2ncat\u0103 de molii suspina \u0219i pl\u00e2ngea \u00eenfundat, morm\u0103ind o rug\u0103ciune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Aoleu, Lenu\u021bo, ce m-ai speriat, \u2019tu-\u021bi Dumnezeii t\u0103i! Crezui c-aud strigoi. Ptiu-ptiu! r\u0103sufl\u0103 greu b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0219i abia se ridic\u0103 de jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Hai, nea Mitic\u0103, nici chiar a\u0219a, oi fi eu b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103, da\u2019 sperietoare nu-s! \u00eel dojeni vecina de la 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De la apartamentul 15 ie\u0219i tanti Mariana, o femeie la vreo cincizeci de ani, cu cearc\u0103ne la ochi, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 \u00eentr-un capot din finet maro cu flori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce-i mirosul \u0103sta de t\u0103m\u00e2ie aici?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 A aflat nea Mitic\u0103 c\u0103 doamna Ionescu a murit, zise femeia cu pielea mototolit\u0103 de riduri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nea Mitic\u0103, ai \u00eennebunit?! Cum s\u0103 aprinzi lum\u00e2nare acia p\u0103 hol, vrei s\u0103 lu\u0103m foc, s\u0103 murim to\u021bi ca \u0219obolanii? se r\u0103sti Mariana la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Stai u\u0219or, nu mai face scandal, c-o stingem dup\u0103 ce \u00eei zicem o rug\u0103ciune, Dumnezeu s-o ierte, interveni tanti Cici de la 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 P\u0103i noi s\u0103-i facem rug\u0103ciune? S\u0103-i fac\u0103 familia ei, p\u0103rintele, cine-o fi, protest\u0103 \u0219i Sofica, vecina slab\u0103 cu doi din\u021bi lips\u0103 \u0219i p\u0103rul mirosind a ceap\u0103 pr\u0103jit\u0103, de la 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da\u2019 n-avea s\u0103raca pe nimeni, zise tanti Lenu\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da\u2019 cine-i asta de care vorbi\u021bi? \u00eentreb\u0103 Gina de la etajul 10, care trecea cu Anca spre lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Coreeanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce coreeanc\u0103, fat\u0103? Era bucure\u0219teanc\u0103 toat\u0103 ziua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu, fat\u0103, da\u2019 era nebuna aia care se uita la seriale coreene cu volumul dat la maxim \u0219i umbla cu fustele alea scurte plisate \u0219i fundi\u021be colorate-n p\u0103r. Nu aia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ba da, aia cu p\u0103rul negru permanent, \u00ee\u0219i aminti Sofica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da\u2019 era t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, n-avea nici \u0219aizeci, se mir\u0103 Anca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cancer, am auzit\u2026 \u00een \u0219ase luni\u2026 gata, \u0219i nea Mitic\u0103 br\u0103zd\u0103 aerul orizontal din m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00een semn de sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 S\u0103raca, Dumnezeu s-o ierte\u2026 a spus fiecare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am strecurat ca un intrus, pe sub privirile iscoditoare ale vecinelor, p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een dreptul u\u0219ii cu num\u0103rul 6. Dou\u0103 femei care ie\u0219iser\u0103 cu gunoiul \u00een papuci colora\u021bi din spum\u0103 de cauciuc m-au scanat din cap p\u00e2n\u0103-n picioare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua, pe cine c\u0103uta\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sunt nepoata doamnei de la apartamentul 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I-auzi, tanti Lenu\u021ba, ce zice doamna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dar doamna Ionescu n-avea copii, tanti Mariana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sunt nepoata de la sor\u0103, am completat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 A\u0219a o fi, zise Sofica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-au \u00eenconjurat \u0219i-au a\u0219teptat s\u0103 \u00eencerc pe r\u00e2nd fiecare cheie din leg\u0103tur\u0103. N-am avut sor\u021bi de izb\u00e2nd\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la ultima, pe care str\u0103lucea inscrip\u021bia Yale<\/em>. A intrat u\u0219or \u00een broasc\u0103, am r\u0103sucit-o, u\u0219a s-a descuiat \u0219i-a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it u\u0219or c\u00e2nd am \u00eenchis-o \u00een urma mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen cas\u0103 toate lucrurile p\u0103reau la locul lor, ordonate, nimic neobi\u0219nuit. Pe canapea erau aliniate vreo zece p\u0103pu\u0219i la fel. Numai hainele \u0219i culoarea p\u0103rului erau diferite. C\u00e2nd am deschis dulapurile s\u0103 str\u00e2ng, era totul plin p\u00e2n\u0103 la refuz, de sus p\u00e2n\u0103 jos. Acela\u0219i pantalon \u00een cinci variante de culoare, aceea\u0219i c\u0103ma\u0219\u0103 \u00een toate culorile, aceea\u0219i geac\u0103 \u00een alte cinci variante coloristice. Toate noi, cu etichet\u0103 pe ele. Parc\u0103 nu se putea decide, \u0219i cump\u0103ra tot sortimentul. Al doilea dulap era plin ochi de pulovere \u00eempletite de m\u0103tu\u0219a mea, de c\u00e2nd eram eu mic\u0103 \u0219i locuiam \u00eempreun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu m\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam niciodat\u0103 la ea, dar deodat\u0103 ne-am v\u0103zut de m\u00e2n\u0103, \u00een drum spre cofet\u0103ria de la Ambrozie. Am intrat, la mese c\u00e2teva persoane m\u00e2ncau profiterol, clinchetul linguri\u021belor \u00een paharele de sticl\u0103, mirosul de sirop de zah\u0103r, fri\u0219c\u0103 proasp\u0103t\u0103 \u0219i rom, f\u00e2\u0219\u00e2itul h\u00e2rtiei pentru pachetele care f\u0103ceau un acoperi\u0219 perfect \u00een sus \u0219i noi, care ne uitam \u00een vitrina cu pr\u0103jituri. Eu nu ajungeam s\u0103 v\u0103d dec\u00e2t pe primul r\u00e2nd de jos. Ea \u0219i-a luat Indian\u0103, eu voiam Cran\u021b, c\u0103 avea crem\u0103 roz \u0219i vernil, dar mi-a luat o Amandin\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 dureau din\u021bii de la fondantul de deasupra.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 V\u0103 rog s\u0103 semna\u021bi aici de primire. Ave\u021bi \u00een ce s-o pune\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, nu-mi mai da\u021bi pung\u0103, mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Doamne-ajut\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 La revedere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat urna cu dou\u0103 m\u00e2ini, am pus-o cu grij\u0103 \u00een rucsac, de fric\u0103 s\u0103 nu v\u0103rs vreun pic din con\u021binut, \u0219i-am plecat spre gar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i-acum ce facem?\u2026 scot telefonul, deschid Whatsappul, dau scrol \u0219i g\u0103sesc mesajele:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0219i unde \u021bi-ar pl\u0103cea?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00een Coreea\u2026 sau dac\u0103 nu, la noi la mare. S\u0103 fie cald \u0219i soare<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen Coreea nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 reu\u0219im, cel mult p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een Japonia, c\u0103 tot \u00eempart aceea\u0219i mare<\/em>, m-am trezit \u0219optind cam neconving\u0103tor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Haide\u021bi, domni\u0219oar\u0103, c\u0103 pierdem trenul, bomb\u0103nea o femeie de la coad\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am b\u0103gat repede telefonul \u00eenapoi \u00een buzunar \u0219i-am cerut:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Un bilet p\u00e2n\u0103 la Constan\u021ba, v\u0103 rog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trenul era mai mult gol, dar vagonul nostru era plin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pute\u021bi s\u0103 face\u021bi loc, c\u0103 vrem \u0219i noi s\u0103 avans\u0103m? aud c\u0103 strig\u0103 cineva din spate, de pe culoar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am ridicat pe v\u00e2rfuri, \u0219i \u00eencercam s\u0103 g\u0103sesc un spa\u021biu c\u00e2t de mic, \u00een care s\u0103-mi \u00eendes rucsacul, pe poli\u021ba de deasupra banchetei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ave\u021bi grij\u0103, domni\u0219oar\u0103, la bagajul \u0103la, c\u0103 poate ne cade-n cap acia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 L\u0103sa\u021bi, c\u0103-l \u021bin \u00een bra\u021be, nu v\u0103 face\u021bi griji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O privire \u00eembufnat\u0103 de pe scaunul de al\u0103turi m-a scrutat sceptic\u0103, dup\u0103 care a fost distras\u0103 de venirea controlorului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am scos telefonul \u0219i-am intrat pe Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Am desc\u0103rcat un serial coreean, ai chef s\u0103 ne uit\u0103m?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ia s\u0103 v\u0103d, poate l-am v\u0103zut deja\u2026 <\/em>r\u00e2de.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Vincenzo se cheam\u0103.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Aaaah, e bun, mi-a pl\u0103cut.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am adormit \u00een zgomotul metalic al ro\u021bilor pe \u0219ine, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd rucsacul la piept. M-am trezit \u00een g\u0103l\u0103gie. Episodul ajunsese la final. Trenul sta\u021bionase \u0219i o ga\u0219c\u0103 de tineri se certau cu controlorul. M-am uitat la ceas, mai aveam pu\u021bin. Diferen\u021ba de fus orar m\u0103 z\u0103p\u0103cise total, nici nu \u0219tiam c\u00e2nd au trecut dou\u0103 ore. Mi-am \u00eendreptat spatele \u0219i-am sim\u021bit atingerea unei m\u00e2ini reci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Hai s\u0103 m\u00e2nc\u0103m ceva, mi-e foame. Mi-e poft\u0103 de un pe\u0219te din mare.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218tiu o cherhana \u00een apropiere, sigur au guvizi cu mujdei de usturoi \u0219i m\u0103m\u0103lig\u0103.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mmmm, sun\u0103 bine. \u0218i ni\u0219te icre cu p\u00e2ine pr\u0103jit\u0103 a\u0219 mai vrea. \u0218i o limonad\u0103 mare, cu ap\u0103 mineral\u0103.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 G\u0103sim.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ne-am dat jos din tren, era trecut de ora pr\u00e2nzului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sunte\u021bi liber? La cherhanaua din Agigea, v\u0103 rog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am f\u0103cut vreo dou\u0103zeci de minute. Fusese \u00eennorat toat\u0103 ziua, vreme de februarie. C\u00e2nd am ajuns, nu era nici \u021bipenie nic\u0103ieri. Ici-colo c\u00e2te-un muncitor sau vreun pesc\u0103ru\u0219 r\u0103t\u0103cit, \u00een c\u0103utare de hran\u0103. \u00cemi chior\u0103ia burta de foame. Nici nu ne a\u0219ezaser\u0103m bine \u0219i deja comandasem jum\u0103tate din meniu, \u0219i sigur n-o s\u0103 reu\u0219esc s\u0103 termin nici o p\u0103trime. A\u0219a fac mereu c\u00e2nd mi-e foame:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Un storceag de sturion, platou de icre \u0219i gust\u0103ri din mare, o por\u021bie de guvizi \u0219i o limonad\u0103 mare la dou\u0103 pahare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am m\u00e2ncat \u00eencet, cu ochii pierdu\u021bi pe geam, privind la marea gri care se apropia \u0219i disp\u0103rea lene\u0219\u0103 \u0219i nehot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103 sub ochii no\u0219tri. Norii n-aveau de g\u00e2nd s\u0103 se mai r\u0103sfire. Acopereau tot cerul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mai \u021bii minte c\u00e2nd eram \u00een clasa \u00eent\u00e2i \u0219i pl\u00e2ngeam \u00een hohote c\u0103 nu puteam s\u0103-l fac pe doi?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Cum s\u0103 nu. Nu-\u021bi ie\u0219ea codi\u021ba aia \u0219i erai sup\u0103rat\u0103 foc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i tu mi-ai zis s\u0103-mi imaginez c-ar fi buclele lui Michael Jackson \u0219i s\u0103-l fac a\u0219a cum iese, c\u0103 arat\u0103 foarte bine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, fusese concertul atunci, mai \u0219tii?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mai \u0219tiu, a\u0219 fi vrut \u0219i eu s\u0103 merg.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Erai prea mic\u0103.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Poate\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Hai s\u0103 facem o plimbare.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am luat-o la pas spre Eforie Nord, admir\u00e2nd casele de vacan\u021b\u0103 \u0219i pensiunile \u00een\u0219irate sus, pe faleza \u00een\u0103l\u021bat\u0103. Majoritatea erau \u00eenchise sau p\u0103reau p\u0103r\u0103site. Nu era nici picior de om. Doar din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd c\u00e2te-o pisic\u0103 ne mai t\u0103ia calea \u0219i-apoi disp\u0103rea c\u00e2t ai clipi printre tufele uscate. \u00cemi \u00eenghe\u021baser\u0103 m\u00e2inile. Erau bune ni\u0219te m\u0103nu\u0219i. Pe plaj\u0103 se vedeau doar utilajele grele, \u00eencremenite ca ni\u0219te uria\u0219i din fier. Probabil ziua c\u0103rau nisip, tasau \u0219i nivelau plaja, ca parte a proiectului european de l\u0103rgire a litoralului. Deja obosisem \u0219i, c\u00e2nd am ajuns \u00een dreptul unui ansamblu de trei hoteluri, eram cu respira\u021bia \u00eentret\u0103iat\u0103 \u0219i suflam greu, de parc\u0103 traversasem Sahara f\u0103r\u0103 ap\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am ajuns \u00een punctul cel mai de nord din Eforie Nord. Delfinul, Steaua de Mare \u0219i Meduza se \u00een\u0103l\u021bau ca trei cutii imense de chibrituri, obtur\u00e2nd vederea spre cer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pare un loc bun aici, hai s\u0103 o lu\u0103m spre plaj\u0103, ce zici?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N-am primit r\u0103spuns, dar digul din fa\u021b\u0103 era fix ce c\u0103utam. M-am desc\u0103l\u021bat \u0219i am luat-o direct prin nisipul aspru \u0219i rece care se sim\u021bea umed printre degete. Am avansat greu, p\u00e2n\u0103 am ajuns la st\u00e2nci. P\u0103rea mai u\u0219or din dep\u0103rtare, m-am c\u0103\u021b\u0103rat \u0219i mi-a alunecat piciorul de vreo dou\u0103 ori, m-am julit \u00een col\u021bul unei roci calcaroase, dar \u00eentr-un final, cu unghiile vinete de frig, am reu\u0219it s\u0103 ajung sus \u0219i s\u0103 merg p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een cap\u0103t, acolo unde ultima f\u00e2\u0219ie de p\u0103m\u00e2nt intr\u0103 \u00een mare \u0219i se pierde \u00een ea. M-am l\u0103sat pe vine ca s\u0103 nu-mi ud pantalonii de la valuri \u0219i-am scos cutia din rucsac. I-am desf\u0103cut cu grij\u0103 capacul, care a c\u0103zut pe ciment cu un zgomot sec de aluminiu ieftin. Am v\u00e2r\u00e2t m\u00e2na \u00een\u0103untru \u0219i-am atins nisipul fin. L-am l\u0103sat s\u0103-mi curg\u0103 printre degete \u0219i mi-am luat la revedere. S-a st\u00e2rnit curentul. M-am pus pe direc\u021bia v\u00e2ntului \u0219i am \u00eentors vasul cu gura-n jos, spre ap\u0103. Un praf alb s-a \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiat \u00een mare \u0219i-n aer, ca un v\u0103l de m\u0103tase. \u00centr-un singur loc pe cer a ie\u0219it soarele. Deasupra hotelului Meduza. A z\u00e2mbit \u0219i a apus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am ridicat \u0219i-am pornit \u00eenapoi spre plaj\u0103, l\u0103s\u00e2nd marea \u00een urm\u0103. O puzderie de alb se \u00eentindea pe luciul apei, \u00een fa\u021ba mea, parc\u0103 s-ar fi scuturat un m\u0103r \u00een floare. Am mijit ochii \u0219i pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce m\u0103 apropiam, deslu\u0219eam tot mai clar contururile unui p\u00e2lc de lebede. \u00cen buzunar aveam un col\u021b de p\u00e2ine, \u00eenf\u0103\u0219urat bine \u00eentr-un \u0219erve\u021bel. L-am m\u0103run\u021bit \u0219i l-am pres\u0103rat atent pe mal, s\u0103 nu-l ia valurile. C\u00e2teva lebede s-au apropiat \u0219i-au \u00eenceput s\u0103 ciuguleasc\u0103, dup\u0103 care-au mai venit \u0219i altele \u0219i-apoi din ce \u00een ce mai multe. La picioarele mele, o mare alb\u0103 de lebede, cu ciocurile lungi \u0219i g\u00e2turile fine, f\u00e2lf\u00e2iau elegant din aripi. Apoi \u0219i-au luat toate zborul spre vest. M\u0103 \u00eentrebam ce c\u0103utau lebedele iarna la mare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ar\u0103ta\u021bi-mi pa\u0219aportul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cemi cercet\u0103 fa\u021ba \u0219i o compar\u0103 cu cea din poz\u0103, de parc\u0103 ar fi c\u0103utat zece diferen\u021be la rubrica de copii din ziarul de duminic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Unde merge\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 La Seul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u0103cea. D\u0103dea foile \u00eenainte \u0219i \u00eenapoi, \u00eentoarse pa\u0219aportul \u0219i mi se adres\u0103 r\u0103spicat, cu capul \u00eentr-o parte:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Aici scrie c\u0103 ave\u021bi domiciliul \u00een Japonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Da, a\u0219a este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u0218i ce c\u0103uta\u021bi \u00een Coreea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Vizitez locurile lui Vincenzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 E so\u021bul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu, e un actor dintr-un serial coreean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Deschide\u021bi, v\u0103 rog, bagajul! Ce ave\u021bi aici? m\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103 pe un ton rece, indic\u00e2nd pe ecran un p\u0103trat mic, verde-alb\u0103strui, \u00een ceea ce p\u0103rea a fi conturul valizei mele.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu sigur\u2026 c\u0103\u0219tile, probabil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 E ceva metalic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am deschis bagajul \u0219i am scos o cutie mic\u0103 pe care scria LoveBox. M-am f\u00e2st\u00e2cit ni\u021bel \u0219i i-am \u00eentins-o poli\u021bistului, care a deschis-o \u0219i a scos o pungu\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Un praf alb. C\u00e2t s\u0103 fie, 10 grame? Ce-i asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 M\u0103tu\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce m\u0103tu\u0219\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 M\u0103tu\u0219a Smaranda. Adic\u0103 ce-a mai r\u0103mas din ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
