Jimmy m\u0103 sunase cu o or\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 chemase la o cafea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103-\u021bi povestesc o chestie, a spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asta era ceva! De obicei, eu eram \u0103la care \u00eel c\u0103uta. M\u0103 obi\u0219nuisem \u0219i nu m\u0103 mai deranja. \u00cel sunam o dat\u0103 la c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, uneori ca s\u0103-i spun ce m\u0103 fr\u0103m\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103-i cer p\u0103rerea, alteori aiurea, dou\u0103-trei minute de \u00eentre\u021binere. Nici nu mai \u0219tiam c\u00e2nd m\u0103 sunase ultima oar\u0103. Demult, dup\u0103 ce a disp\u0103rut Derry-labraderry. N-am putut s\u0103-i spun mare lucru atunci. I-am zis c\u0103 sigur o s-o g\u0103seasc\u0103 cineva. C\u0103 \u0219tie ea drumul spre cas\u0103. C\u0103 lipesc eu afi\u0219e prin cartier. \u0218i alte chestii stupide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acum, din tonul lui, nu p\u0103rea c\u0103 s-a-nt\u00e2mplat nimic grav. Aveam, totu\u0219i, o mic\u0103 str\u00e2ngere de inim\u0103. Altfel, m\u0103 sim\u021beam flatat. Poate chiar o s\u0103 conteze p\u0103rerea mea, mi-am spus \u0219i am acceptat pe loc s\u0103 ne vedem. Din obi\u0219nuin\u021b\u0103, am mul\u021bumit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-ai de ce, a spus Jimmy. Unde ne-nt\u00e2lnim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptam nici la asta, el alegea mereu locul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 La Emotion? am \u00eentrebat timid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pff, a f\u0103cut Jimmy, acolo e full tot timpu\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am gr\u0103bit s\u0103-i spun c\u0103 poate s\u0103 aleag\u0103 el, c\u0103 nu m\u0103 deranjeaz\u0103, dar mi-a t\u0103iat-o:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E bine la Emotion. Hai, te-am pupat, ne vedem acolo la doi\u0219pe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ajuns cu vreo cinci minute \u00eenainte de ora stabilit\u0103. Jimmy era deja la teras\u0103. P\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 a\u0219ez, l-a certat pe chelner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hei, frumosule, c\u00e2t \u00ee\u021bi ia s\u0103 aduci cafelele alea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Imediat, a r\u00e2njit tinerelul, Irishu\u2019 dureaz\u0103 mai mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu c\u0103 imediat, acuma! s-a r\u0103stit Jimmy \u0219i a b\u0103tut cu palma \u00een mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi, c\u0103tre mine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P-\u0103\u0219tia tre\u2019 s\u0103-i iei tare. Altfel, \u021bi se urc\u0103-n cap. Hai, stai jos. \u021ai-am luat cappuccino \u0219i ap\u0103. Ce mai faci? Ce-i cu freza asta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bini\u0219or, am spus \u0219i m-am a\u0219ezat. Vine vara, m\u0103 rad \u00een cap, s\u0103 par mai dur. A\u0219a, ca tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 He. Io, cu biznisu\u2019, cu apartamentele, a zis el. Stai s\u0103 ne-aduc\u0103 \u0103sta cafelele \u0219i-\u021bi povestesc. Nu te gr\u0103be\u0219ti, nu? Mai zi-mi de tine. Maic\u0103-ta, bunic\u0103-ta? Aha, m\u0103 bucur. \u0218i c\u00e2inele? Feti\u021b\u0103, nu? Mai \u0219tii c\u00e2nd am vrut s\u0103 \u021bi-o dau pe Alice de ziua ta? Ai luat-o \u0219i mi-ai adus-o \u00eenapoi dup\u0103 o or\u0103. Da, frate, eram copii, da\u2019 tot ai fi putut s\u0103 faci ceva, nu trebuia s-o la\u0219i pe maic\u0103-ta s\u0103 decid\u0103 \u00een locul t\u0103u. Slab. C\u00e2ine ca Alice nu mai prinzi, \u00ee\u021bi spun io. Nici c\u00e2nd a murit bun\u0103-mea n-am pl\u00e2ns a\u0219a. Poate numa\u2019 c\u00e2nd am pierdut-o pe Derry\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chelnerul a ap\u0103rut cu cafelele. Mi-am tras scaunul pu\u021bin \u00een spate, \u00eei cam tremurau m\u00e2inile. A mutat ce\u0219tile pe mas\u0103 cu \u00eencetinitorul. S-a descurcat cu Irishu\u2019 lu\u2019 Jimmy, dar a v\u0103rsat un sfert de cappuccino pe farfurie. Apoi \u0219i-a cerut sec scuze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu-i nimic, am spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum nu-i nimic?! a strigat Jimmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Scuze, a spus chelnerul, mai t\u0103ios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce scuze? S\u0103-i aduci altu\u2019! \u0218i altu\u2019, \u0219i altu\u2019, p\u00e2n\u0103 nu mai ver\u0219i niciun strop. S\u0103-l serve\u0219ti toat\u0103 via\u021ba!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era cam \u021b\u0103ran la faza asta, exagera \u0219i m\u0103 f\u0103cea s\u0103 m\u0103 simt prost. I-am z\u00e2mbit b\u0103iatului, voiam s\u0103-l lini\u0219tesc. El ne-a \u00eentors spatele \u0219i s-a strecurat printre mese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Zici c\u0103-i c\u0103prioar\u0103, a spus Jimmy \u0219i mi-a ar\u0103tat c\u0103 i s-a f\u0103cut pielea de g\u0103in\u0103. De la Irish. Bag\u0103! a strigat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu io? O faz\u0103 de pe la tine de la lucru. Distreaz\u0103-m\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai c\u0103 \u00eencerc, am spus. Nu de mult am avut o zi aiurea, nu m\u0103 puteam concentra deloc. \u0218i a trebuit s\u0103-i dau unui \u0219ef mail, s\u0103-i cer un laptop nou. \u0218i \u0219tii cum e cu ur\u0103rile de la sf\u00e2r\u0219it de mail, zici \u0219i tu de bine, mai ales c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti la m\u00e2na cuiva. Am vrut s\u0103 scriu \u201co zi fain\u0103\u201d \u0219i ghici ce mi-a ie\u0219it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy butona pe telefon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Aud, aud, a spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O ai fain\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O ai\u2026? Cum adic\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, m\u0103, o ai fain\u0103. Z e deasupra lu\u2019 A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El a aruncat telefonul pe mas\u0103 \u0219i a izbucnit \u00een r\u00e2s. Din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd se oprea \u0219i m\u0103 privea cu simpatie. M\u0103 bucuram c\u0103 r\u00e2de a\u0219a cu poft\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Na, ce m\u0103 sf\u0103tuie\u0219ti? am \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103i, depinde. What do you really want? a r\u00e2s el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u0219a zicea mereu c\u00e2nd \u00eei ceream p\u0103rerea. M\u0103 ajuta s\u0103-mi limpezesc mintea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103\u2026 Habar n-am! A, Z, a\u0219 putea s\u0103-i explic lu\u2019 \u0103la.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy a tras c\u00e2teva fumuri \u0219i a tu\u0219it sec. A stins \u021bigara cu du\u0219m\u0103nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 M\u0103 las, a spus. Am fost la raze s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na trecut\u0103 \u0219i nu-i bine. Acum, domnu\u2019 Jimmy, c\u0103 m\u00e2ine e t\u00e2rziu, mi-a zis doctori\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck, s\u0103 nu intre \u00een chestii de s\u0103n\u0103tate, m-am g\u00e2ndit! Ce-a\u0219 putea s\u0103-i spun, c\u0103-mi pare r\u0103u? S\u0103-l lovesc u\u0219or cu pumnul \u00een um\u0103r? S\u0103-l \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219ez? Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 foiesc \u0219i m-am uitat spre pachetul de Dunhill. \u00cemi venea s\u0103 iau o \u021bigar\u0103, de\u0219i m\u0103 l\u0103sasem de un an, dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u0219i patru zile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy a dat cafeaua la o parte \u0219i mi-a f\u0103cut semn s\u0103 m\u0103 apropii. M-am aplecat deasupra mesei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A\u0219a, a zis. S\u0103 nu ne-aud\u0103 \u0103\u0219tia. Nu dorm de trei nop\u021bi, a ad\u0103ugat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i a t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi-am f\u0103cut curaj:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De la?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i am ar\u0103tat cu degetul c\u0103tre scrumier\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 A, nu, a spus el. Sau, poate o fi \u0219i asta. Da\u2019 nu cred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sc\u0103pasem de o grij\u0103, a\u0219a c\u0103 am z\u00e2mbit. M-a v\u0103zut \u0219i s-a r\u0103\u021boit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce? \u021ai se pare amuzant c\u0103 nu dorm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Deloc, \u0219tiu cum e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u0103 relaxasem, \u00eemi venea s\u0103-l \u00eentreb ce vrea, dar nu se potrivea. Ar fi zis c\u0103 vrea s\u0103 doarm\u0103. \u0218i-apoi? Ce-l mai \u00eentrebam?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Auzi, a spus el hot\u0103r\u00e2t, am cump\u0103rat anul trecut un apartament cu trei camere \u0219i l-am dat \u00een chirie. Acum o lun\u0103 s-au c\u0103rat chiria\u0219ii vechi \u0219i a trebuit s\u0103 g\u0103sesc al\u021bii. A\u0219a nu-mi plac chestiile astea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eensufle\u021bit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu cum e, nici mie nu-mi place c\u00e2nd vin to\u021bi \u0219i comen…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Na. Am dat anun\u021bul zilele trecute, pe la 9 seara. Am f\u0103cut un du\u0219 prelungit, apoi mi-am pus un fucking whisky. \u00cemi intraser\u0103 deja vreo patru-cinci mesaje, m-am g\u00e2ndit s-o rezolv atunci, s\u0103 \u0219tiu o treab\u0103. L-am ales pe unu\u2019 Gelu, era singurul care scria politicos, f\u0103r\u0103 gre\u0219eli, impecabil. Tu m\u0103 \u0219tii, \u021bin la chestiile astea, mai ales c\u00e2nd fac biznis. Na, \u0219i am vorbit cu \u0103la prin mesaje, l-am \u00eentrebat c\u00e2te persoane, a zis c\u0103 patru, a \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 e \u00een regul\u0103, cum ziceam, era un tip cumsecade, \u00een stilul t\u0103u, parc\u0103 cu tine f\u0103ceam afaceri, pe cuv\u00e2ntu\u2019 meu. Poate de aia i-am \u0219i l\u0103sat vreo dou\u0103zeci de euro, he. N-aveam chef s-o lungesc, am stabilit c\u0103 ne \u00eent\u00e2lnim a doua zi la apartament, s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u0219i el ce \u0219i cum, s\u0103 ne cunoa\u0219tem \u0219i s\u0103 batem palma oficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am mers mai devreme la apartament, am dat un ochi s\u0103 nu fie ceva \u00een neregul\u0103, n-aveam chef s\u0103-l pierd pe tip. Am pus o p\u0103tur\u0103 pe canapea (…) am mai luat ni\u0219te p\u00e2nze de p\u0103ianjen din col\u021buri, ni\u0219te praf de pe mobil\u0103, de-astea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy s-a oprit. A luat o gur\u0103 de cafea, a aprins o \u021bigar\u0103 \u0219i a tras dou\u0103-trei fumuri legate. Apoi a tu\u0219it \u0219i i-a venit s\u0103 vomite. A stins \u021bigara \u00een timp ce tu\u0219ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am a\u0219teptat s\u0103 se lini\u0219teasc\u0103 \u0219i am zis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Super-tare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce super-tare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Faza. Cu omu\u2019 \u0103sta. Rar g\u0103se\u0219ti oameni de cali…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Na, a zis Jimmy. \u0218i m-am dus a doua zi s\u0103 m\u0103 v\u0103d cu el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Gelu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da, m\u0103, doar \u021bi-am zis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu, \u0219tiu, m\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam c\u0103 nu prea cunosc oameni cu numele \u0103sta. Am avut un coleg de facult\u0103 Gelu, r\u00e2deam de el c\u0103 avea capu\u2019 turtit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce treab\u0103 are Cap-turtit cu apartamentul meu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doar ziceam. Ca s\u0103 mai\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Las\u0103 prostiile! Am mers mai devreme la apartament, am dat un ochi s\u0103 nu fie ceva \u00een neregul\u0103, n-aveam chef s\u0103-l pierd pe tip. Am pus o p\u0103tur\u0103 pe canapea, avea o gaur\u0103 de dimensiunea unui cur, de parc\u0103 chiria\u0219ii dinainte \u0219i-o tr\u0103geau numa\u2019-n locu-\u0103la. \u00cen fine, am mai luat ni\u0219te p\u00e2nze de p\u0103ianjen din col\u021buri, ni\u0219te praf de pe mobil\u0103, de-astea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy s-a oprit \u0219i s-a uitat \u00eemprejur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 B\u0103i, mi se pare mie sau C\u0103prioar\u0103 se tot plimb\u0103 printre mese \u0219i trage cu urechea? S\u0103 nu-i la\u0219i niciun leu, ai \u00een\u021beles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am speriat c\u0103 o s\u0103 fac\u0103 iar show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Stai c\u0103 vin mai aproape, am spus \u0219i m-am mutat pe scaunul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021a, a zis Jimmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am uitat lung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Gelu. Era \u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021a?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 B\u0103i, ce dracu\u2019. Concentreaz\u0103-te, c\u0103 nu pot s\u0103 zbier. Mai fac io pe grozavu\u2019, da\u2019 la astea-s atent. Sun\u0103 soneria, m\u0103 duc la u\u0219\u0103, pun fa\u021ba de gazd\u0103 primitoare, m\u0103 preg\u0103tesc de salut\u0103ri \u0219i str\u00e2ngeri de m\u00e2n\u0103, totul ca la carte, deschid u\u0219a, \u0219i ce v\u0103d? Un \u021b. Eu sunt Gelu, zice. Se bucur\u0103, ce noroc a avut, \u00eei place zona, abia a\u0219teapt\u0103! I-am zis s\u0103 m\u0103 a\u0219tepte un minut. M-am dus la baie, am dat drumul la ap\u0103, m-am pus pe bud\u0103 \u0219i m-am g\u00e2ndit. Degeaba, nu-mi venea nimic. Mi-am amintit cum mi-am luat-o odat\u0103 de la doi de-\u0103\u0219tia c\u00e2nd eram mic, g\u0103sisem un c\u0103\u021bel pe strad\u0103, i-am pus \u0219i nume, iar \u0103ia, puradeii, s-au trezit peste o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 c\u0103-i al lor \u0219i c\u0103-l vor \u00eenapoi. Eu m-am pus peste c\u0103\u021bel, s\u0103 nu mi-l ia. Mi-au dat c\u00e2teva picioare-n cap \u0219i aia a fost. Bullshit din copil\u0103rie. Io n-am nimic cu \u021biganii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Taci! am zis \u0219i l-am str\u00e2ns pe Jimmy de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vorbe\u0219ti prea tare. Ai b\u0103ut Irish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A luat o gur\u0103 de ap\u0103 \u0219i s-a lini\u0219tit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce-ai f\u0103cut cu Gelu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 He, l-am luat la o tur\u0103 de apartament. Am dat p\u0103tura la o parte, i-am ar\u0103tat gaura din canapea, apoi ni\u0219te pete de igrasie, o bucat\u0103 de faian\u021b\u0103 spart\u0103. El a zis c\u0103 nu-l deranjeaz\u0103. M\u0103 a\u0219teptam. Da\u2019 asta era strategia, s\u0103 trag de timp ca s\u0103-mi revin. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, l-am luat la interviu, unde lucreaz\u0103, de ce apartamentul meu \u0219i nu altul, ce-o s\u0103 fac\u0103 dac\u0103 n-o s\u0103 mai poat\u0103 pl\u0103ti, \u0219i dac\u0103 se r\u0103zg\u00e2nde\u0219te peste c\u00e2teva luni? El a dat r\u0103spunsuri scurte \u0219i corecte \u0219i a z\u00e2mbit \u00eentruna. N-aveam ce s\u0103-i repro\u0219ez. I-am spus c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 consult cu nevast\u0103-mea. A r\u00e2s, de parc\u0103 ar fi auzit chestia asta de doi\u0219pe mii de ori. M-a str\u00e2ns de um\u0103r \u0219i mi-a spus c\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 sune. Nu m-a mai sunat. Asta m\u0103 \u00eengrijoreaz\u0103. \u0218i mai e ceva. Dup\u0103 ce s-a c\u0103rat, l-am urm\u0103rit pe geam. S-a urcat \u00eentr-o KIA Sportage, nimic special, da\u2019 \u0219tii ce num\u0103r de \u00eenmatriculare avea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 GEL? am \u00eencercat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 RUP. RUP! M-am tot g\u00e2ndit, nu exist\u0103 num\u0103r mai dubios dec\u00e2t \u0103sta. N-am mai rezistat \u0219i i-am dat mesaj. L-am min\u021bit c\u0103 am dat apartamentul unor prieteni, bla, \u0219i, apropo, \u00eemi place RUP, de unde vine num\u0103rul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sigur nu era PUR?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 PUR?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 PUR, da. N-ai auzit de clanu\u2019 lu\u2019 Puri? To\u021bi \u0103\u0219tia cresc iepuri \u0219i au PUR la ma\u0219in\u0103. O mai \u0219tii pe Ruxi? Crea\u021ba. Mi-a povestit c\u0103 a ie\u0219it cu unu\u2019 din clan \u0219i \u0103la i-a f\u0103cut cadou un iepure, s-o impresioneze. Uite c\u0103 nu-mi aduc aminte ce culoare avea, alb sau negru? Tre\u2019 s-o mai sun pe Ruxi. E cu un englez acum. Dup\u0103 Puri, io, dup\u0103 mine, englezoiu\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Gura, a zis Jimmy. E\u0219ti obositor. Era RUP, nu PUR! Nu-i totuna!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avea dreptate, nu era totuna. Mi-a venit o idee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 What do you really want? am zis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sim\u021beam c\u0103-l ajut cu adev\u0103rat pe Jimmy \u0219i mi-au dat lacrimile de bucurie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 m\u0103 duc o lun\u0103 \u00een Brazilia, a r\u0103spuns el pe loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cen Brazilia?! Ce s\u0103 faci tu acolo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S\u0103 dorm. \u0218i s\u0103 m\u0103 tratez. Cu a, cu b, cu c, cu de toate. S\u0103 nu m\u0103 mai prefac, \u0219tii ce zic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poate chiar anu\u2019 \u0103sta merg. Hai cu mine dac\u0103 vrei. Fugim \u00een secret. Noi doi, he.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poate vin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai grij\u0103 de tine, a zis Jimmy. \u0218i s\u0103 nu-i la\u0219i niciun leu lu\u2019 C\u0103prioar\u0103, e m\u0103gar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am r\u00e2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El m-a pupat pe frunte \u0219i a plecat. L-am privit vreo jumate de minut. Nu \u0219tia \u00eencotro s-o apuce. S-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit o vreme prin pia\u021bet\u0103, a dat un telefon \u0219i a g\u0103sit o direc\u021bie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-am f\u0103cut semn chelnerului s\u0103 fac\u0103 nota. S-a uitat ur\u00e2t \u0219i a intrat \u00een cafenea. Probabil m\u0103 v\u0103zuse. A ie\u0219it dup\u0103 cinci minute cu o tav\u0103 plin\u0103-ochi. Limonade, fresh-uri, cafele, note de plat\u0103. Tremura. Poate ascultase t\u00e2mpeniile lui Jimmy, care \u00eel f\u0103cuse \u00een toate felurile, iar acum venea s\u0103-mi arunce mie tava plin\u0103 \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu nu zisesem nimic de r\u0103u!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dimpotriv\u0103, calmasem spiritele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eram un tip cumsecade, nu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am scos o sut\u0103 de lei \u0219i i-am pus sub scrumier\u0103. Mai aveam zece lei \u00een portofel, i-am l\u0103sat \u0219i pe \u0103ia \u0219i am plecat. M-am \u00eenv\u00e2rtit prin pia\u021bet\u0103, m-am pref\u0103cut c\u0103 vorbesc la telefon \u0219i l-am p\u00e2ndit pe C\u0103prioar\u0103. A\u0219teptam s\u0103 se bucure de bac\u0219i\u0219, chestia asta mi-ar fi f\u0103cut ziua mai bun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bucur\u0103-te, b\u0103, te rog io! am zis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy m\u0103 sunase cu o or\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 chemase la o cafea: \u2014 Vreau s\u0103-\u021bi povestesc o chestie, a spus. Asta era ceva! De obicei, eu eram \u0103la care \u00eel c\u0103uta. M\u0103 obi\u0219nuisem \u0219i nu m\u0103 mai deranja. \u00cel sunam o dat\u0103 la c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, uneori ca s\u0103-i spun ce m\u0103 fr\u0103m\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103-i cer p\u0103rerea, alteori aiurea, dou\u0103-trei minute de \u00eentre\u021binere. Nici nu mai \u0219tiam c\u00e2nd m\u0103 sunase ultima oar\u0103. Demult, dup\u0103 ce a disp\u0103rut Derry-labraderry. N-am putut s\u0103-i spun mare lucru atunci.
