La \u015eahi\u015fti se joac\u0103 rummy. Cel pu\u0163in a\u015fa se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u00een Parcul Morarilor, dup\u0103 reamenajare. Prim\u0103ria sectorului tocmai a terminat de ferchezuit parcul: a tuns iarba, copacii \u015fi s\u0103lciile. S-au plantat flori, co\u015furi de gunoi \u015fi indicatoare dintre cele mai tr\u0103snite: \u201eAleea Magnoliei\u201d, \u201eAleea Lacului\u201d, \u201eExpoflora\u201d \u201eLa St\u00e2nc\u0103rie\u201d, \u201eLa \u015eahi\u015fti\u201d. Nu po\u0163i s\u0103 nu gu\u015fti ironia celui care le-a conceput. De exemplu, la \u201est\u00e2nc\u0103rie\u201d po\u0163i s\u0103 admiri trei bolovani, a\u015feza\u0163i unul peste altul l\u00e2ng\u0103 o \u0163\u00e2\u015fnitoare anemic\u0103 \u015fi ruginit\u0103. \u201eExpoflora\u201d \u00ee\u0163i prezint\u0103 c\u00e2teva zeci de petunii, panselu\u0163e \u015fi cr\u0103i\u0163e anemice, iar \u201eAleea Amintirilor\u201d nu se deosebe\u015fte cu nimic de celelalte.
\nParcul e aproape pustiu \u00een timpul zilei. Nu sunt mul\u0163i curajo\u015fi care s\u0103 se ascund\u0103 aici de soarele care arde cu at\u00e2ta putere \u00eenc\u00e2t pare c\u0103 seac\u0103 toate lucrurile deasupra c\u0103rora str\u0103luce\u015fte. Doar \u201eLa \u015eahi\u015fti\u201d e forfota mai mare. Cele patru refugii de lemn, cu mese \u015fi b\u0103nci de lemn sunt pline ochi. La toate mesele se joac\u0103 rummy. Majoritatea juc\u0103torilor au cam acela\u015fi profil, sunt persoane de v\u00e2rsta a treia, pensionari. Sunt juc\u0103tori \u00eencerca\u0163i. \u00cei recuno\u015fti dup\u0103 dexteritatea pe care o au \u00een aranjarea pieselor, dup\u0103 fluiditatea mi\u015fc\u0103rii m\u00e2inii de la gur\u0103 la punga cu semin\u0163e sau dup\u0103 precizia cu care scuip\u0103 cojile pe jos. Lini\u015fte \u015fi concentrare. Se joac\u0103 pe mize grele. Doar la o mas\u0103 atmosfera e mai animat\u0103. Partida tocmai s-a \u00eencheiat \u015fi cei patru juc\u0103tori amestec\u0103 pietrele cu \u00eend\u00e2rjire. Unul dintre ei \u00ee\u0163i atrage aten\u0163ia \u00een mod special. Un b\u0103tr\u00e2n cu spatele drept, sl\u0103b\u0103nog \u015fi delicat \u015fi cu pielea ciocolatie. Sub nas are o musta\u0163\u0103 foarte sub\u0163ire ca o libelul\u0103 care pare preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi ia zborul. Are p\u0103rul vopsit negru, dat din abunden\u0163\u0103 cu gel, care \u00eel face foarte str\u0103lucitor. Ochii c\u0103prui \u00eei sclipesc de vioiciune \u015fi de o umbr\u0103 de viclenie, ca o p\u0103rere.
\n\u201eNea Pandele, iar ai avut noroc\u201d, zice unul dintre cei doi chibi\u0163i din spatele lui. \u201ePuah, e\u015fti plin de noroc \u015fi la joc \u015fi la femei. Ce-\u0163i mai face nevasta cea t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103?\u201d
\nOchii tuturor celor de la mas\u0103 se \u00eendreptar\u0103 spre b\u0103tr\u00e2nul cu p\u0103rul vopsit, care se foie\u015fte emo\u0163ionat. Apoi se opre\u015fte din aranjatul pietrelor \u00een gr\u0103m\u0103joare \u015fi \u00ee\u015fi \u00eentoarce ochii spre t\u00e2n\u0103rul din spatele s\u0103u, \u00een timp ce \u00ee\u015fi \u00eenmoaie pe limb\u0103 ar\u0103t\u0103torul de la m\u00e2na dreapt\u0103. \u00cel cercet\u0103 pe b\u0103iatul ce-i z\u00e2mbea ironic \u00een spate. Un b\u0103iat sl\u0103bu\u0163, cu p\u0103rul \u015faten \u015fi cu o fa\u0163\u0103 inexpresiv\u0103.
\n\u201eEra s\u0103 nu mai vin azi din cauza ei\u201d. Pu\u0163in\u0103 culoare se \u00eentinde \u00een obrajii b\u0103tr\u00e2nului.
\n\u201eDe ce?\u201d, \u00eentreab\u0103 t\u00e2n\u0103rul chibi\u0163 cu un glas dogit. \u201eA \u00eencercat s\u0103 te lege de calorifer?\u201d
\nNea Pandele se mul\u0163ume\u015fte s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103 acestei obr\u0103znici doar cu ni\u015fte morm\u0103ieli ca ale unui surdo-mut.
\n\u201e\u00ce\u015fi iese din min\u0163i dac\u0103-i zic \u015fi c\u0103 plec s\u0103-mi cump\u0103r \u0163ig\u0103ri. E \u00een stare s\u0103 coboare ea s\u0103-mi cumpere, numai s\u0103 nu ies din cas\u0103. Mi-e fric\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 le z\u00e2mbesc vecinelor pentru c\u0103 nu \u015ftiu de ce e \u00een stare. E pu\u0163in s\u0103rit\u0103, Vivi asta a mea, da\u2019 e colosal\u0103. E-o femeie pe cinste. Nu \u015ftie s\u0103 g\u0103teasc\u0103, \u00eens\u0103-\u015fi d\u0103 silin\u0163a. \u00cei zic, nu te strofoca at\u00e2t de tare ca de aia nu-\u0163i ies m\u00e2nc\u0103rurile! C\u00e2nd o v\u0103d a\u015fa mi se fr\u00e2nge inima din pricina ei.\u201d
\n\u201ePoa’ se preface\u201d zise t\u00e2n\u0103rul \u015fi \u00ee\u015fi \u00eencre\u0163i fruntea, oarecum amuzat de nostimada situa\u0163iei. \u201eFemeile e ciudate.\u201d
\n\u201eNu. Ea e tot timpul \u00eengrijorat\u0103 c\u00e2nd plec. Uneori se \u00eencal\u0163\u0103 cu orice, chiar \u015fi cu pantofi de culori diferite. C\u00e2nd i-am zis c\u0103 vin aici la un rummy a \u00eennebunit: \u015fi-a tras pe ea repede o rochie s\u0103 vie cu mine. Doar c\u0103 rochia era cam pe dos. C\u00e2nd i-am zis de rochie, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.\u201d
\n\u201eDa de ce?\u201d \u00eentreb\u0103 b\u0103iatul cu ochii \u00eencercui\u0163i de ro\u015fea\u0163\u0103.
\n\u201eStai s\u0103 vezi, \u00eemi zice, uite, dac\u0103 te prind c\u0103 te ui\u0163i la alte femei te arunc de la etaj. De ce \u00ee\u0163i faci at\u00e2tea griji? \u00eei zic. Nu-i nici o femeie, jur, sunt doar cu b\u0103ie\u0163ii. \u015ei ea zice, cine-\u015fi face griji, eu nu-mi fac griji. \u015ei eu zic, bine, da’ atunci cum de \u0163i-ai \u00eembr\u0103cat rochia pe dos? Nu mai zice nimic \u015fi se duce \u00een baie \u015fi se bag\u0103 \u00een cad\u0103. A\u015fa face c\u00e2nd e sup\u0103rat\u0103. Nu-mi \u00eenchipui cum de-ncape \u00een cad\u0103.\u201d
\n\u201eNea Pandele, trebe s\u0103 ai grij\u0103 s\u0103 nu te rezolve femeia \u00eentr-o noapte!
\n\u201eCa \u00een final s\u0103-mi strige din cad\u0103 c\u0103 nu fac doi bani pen’ ea. Nici nu pricep ce vrea s\u0103 zic\u0103. Altfel e o tip\u0103 pe cinste, nostim\u0103, istea\u0163\u0103. Adic\u0103 cum nu fac doi bani?\u201d
\n\u201eVecina mea de la patru \u00eei zice toat\u0103 ziua bun\u0103 ziua lu\u2019 b\u0103rbatu-su c\u0103-i un rahat, fin’c\u0103 e mai moale din fire. \u015ei-i zice a\u015fa de fa\u0163\u0103 cu lume.\u201d
\n\u201eM\u0103 \u00eentorc din u\u015f\u0103 \u015fi-i zic: ce vrei, Vivi, de la mine? Ies \u015fi azi cu b\u0103ie\u0163ii la rummy, cum fac \u00een fiecare zi. \u015ei ce? Nici unul nu-\u015fi ia femeia cu el, eu de ce s\u0103 te duc?
\n\u201e\u015ei ea ce zice?\u201d insist\u0103 chibi\u0163ul.
\n\u201eZice: de ce trebuie s\u0103 joci rummy \u00een fiecare zi? Nu-mi place c\u00e2nd pleci, \u015ftii bine. Am impresia c\u0103 nu m\u0103 mai iube\u015fti \u015fi te vezi cu tot felu\u2019 de curve.\u201d
\n\u201eAi \u00eentr-adev\u0103r o problem\u0103 cu ea\u201d, \u00eel \u00eentrerupe t\u00e2n\u0103rul chibi\u0163.
\n\u201eO \u00eentreb: c\u00e2nd m-ai v\u0103zut tu cu curve? Nici nu m\u0103 uit la alte femei. Ea se ridic\u0103 din cad\u0103 \u015fi-mi trage un pumn direct \u00een plex. Mi s-a t\u0103iat respira\u0163ia vreo 5 secunde, dup\u0103 care m\u0103 reped la ea, da\u2019 a apucat se \u00eenchide \u00een baie.\u201d
\n\u201eCe femeie!\u201d
\nTo\u0163i ceilal\u0163i cl\u0103tinau din cap cu priviri sticloase de admira\u0163ie.
\n\u201eCred c\u0103-i \u015fi pu\u0163in dus\u0103\u201d, interveni cel\u0103lalt chibi\u0163. Un pensionar care urm\u0103rise p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci toat\u0103 discu\u0163ia cu gura c\u0103scat\u0103, alc\u0103tuind un O perfect, \u015fi numai Dumnezeu \u015ftia ce priveau ochii lui sticlo\u015fi \u015fi afuma\u0163i. \u201eA\u015fa o gelozie ar trebui tratat\u0103. Ar trebui s-o duci la medic.\u201d
\nNea Pandele \u00eel privi o clip\u0103 cu o du\u015fm\u0103nie sincer\u0103, apoi \u00ee\u015fi d\u0103du capul pe spate \u015fi r\u00e2se din toat\u0103 inima, \u00een semn de aprobare.
\n\u201eBa nu-mi vine s-o duc nic\u0103ieri. M\u0103 iube\u015fte s\u0103r\u0103cu\u0163a, da\u2019 nu \u015ftie cum s\u0103 se manifeste.\u201d
\n\u201eNea Pandele, nu \u015ftiu ce le faci!\u201d exclam\u0103 t\u00e2n\u0103rul uimit \u015fi plin de admira\u0163ie. \u201eLa v\u00e2rsta matele al\u0163ii se g\u00e2ndesc la cimitir nu la gagici. Da\u2019 matale cau\u0163i numai prosp\u0103turi. Asta a c\u00e2ta e? \u015ei tot cu 30 de ani mai t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103, nu?
\n\u201eA treia. Vivi are numai 37 de ani.\u201d
\n\u201eUnde le g\u0103se\u015fti, nea Pandele?\u201d
\n\u00cenainte de a le r\u0103spunde, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u00eei cercet\u0103 pe r\u00e2nd cu un z\u00e2mbet perspicace, dispre\u0163uitor \u015fi \u00een\u0163eleg\u0103tor \u00een acela\u015fi timp.
