A\u015fezat, un individ cu breton \u015fi cu p\u0103rul vopsit; nu p\u0103rea din cale-afar\u0103 de pensionar, dac\u0103 avea vreo cincizeci. \u00ce\u015fi ag\u0103\u0163ase umbrela de aceea\u015fi bar\u0103 pe care \u0163inea \u015fi el m\u00eena. Mai era un loc, mai \u00eencolo, dar nu-i venea s\u0103 stea jos. Se uita afar\u0103 prin geamul plouat. B\u0103ltoace \u015fi ma\u015fini stropite pe parbriz \u015fi la fund. O iubea. Acum, se g\u00eendi, acum ar vrea ea s\u0103-i propun hai la Starea Civil\u0103. Nu adusese vorba, cei drept, \u015fi nici el, dar cred c\u0103 acum ar fi vrut mai mult ca oric\u00eend. Cu toate c\u0103 \u015ftie \u00een sufletul ei c\u0103 nu se mai poate. Dup\u0103 rahatul care a fost. De asta pl\u00eengea. Ce vreme \u00eempu\u0163it\u0103…<\/p>\n
Veni \u015fi sta\u0163ia lui. Nu se gr\u0103bi, era mai aproape prin spate, a\u015ftept\u0103 s\u0103 deschid\u0103. Apoi \u00een\u015ff\u0103c\u0103 din reflex umbrela care se leg\u0103na \u015fi-o lu\u0103 spre ie\u015fire.<\/p>\n
– Alo! Domnu\u2019! \u00eel \u00eentoarse un glas.<\/p>\n
\u0102la vopsit, cu breton.<\/p>\n
– D\u0103 umbrela!<\/p>\n
– Pardon, b\u00eeigui \u015etefi, f\u0103c\u00eend un pas \u00eenapoi. Seam\u0103n\u0103 toate…<\/p>\n
– Ce spui? Nu \u0163i-e ru\u015fine pu\u0163in la obraz?<\/p>\n
Nu mai st\u0103tu la discu\u0163ie, pentru c\u0103 lumea deja se-ntorcea \u00eenspre el. Ced\u0103 obiectul \u015fi cobor\u00ee precum sfecla, \u00een timp ce mai auzea \u00een spate vocifer\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
– Pe noptier\u0103, gura m\u0103-sii de gioars\u0103, \u015fi scuip\u0103 pentru c\u0103 se pusese \u015fi ploaia, din nou.<\/p>\n
Unde avea de ajuns nu era chiar departe, dar nu putea s\u0103 urce-n ceva, pentru c\u0103 transportu-n comun e numai pe unde-l pun \u0103ia. Dec\u00eet cu taxiul. \u00ce\u015fi inspect\u0103 mental portmoneul \u015fi, evident, renun\u0163\u0103. O lu\u0103 la picior, \u00een timp ce ploaia se \u00eente\u0163ea. Nici timp nu mai era s\u0103 se poat\u0103 ad\u0103posti \u00een vreun gang, trebuia s\u0103 fie acolo la un\u015fpe. \u00ce\u015fi ridic\u0103 gulerul \u015fi m\u0103ri compasul. Trecu pe l\u00eeng\u0103 o tonet\u0103 cu m\u0103run\u0163i\u015furi \u015fi observ\u0103 din mers c\u0103 aveau \u015fi umbrele. Tot din alea pliabile, mici. Cred c\u0103 le v\u00eend \u015fi la dublu pe mizeria asta. Dup\u0103 c\u00ee\u0163iva pa\u015fi, se \u00eentoarse. Risca s\u0103-l ude la piele. Asta e, ce s\u0103 fac? Dac\u0103-s bou?! \u015ei cump\u0103r\u0103 o umbrel\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Nu c\u0103 toate-s la fel, b\u0103ga-mi-a\u015f? se \u00eentreb\u0103, \u00een timp ce tr\u0103gea de \u0163ipla \u00een care-o luase. Nu-i nimic, i-o dau ei.<\/p>\n
Marcela locuia \u00eentr-o chichinea\u0163\u0103 din fundul cur\u0163ii, nu se vedea c\u00eend treceai. Dou\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103peri, tip vagon. Proprietarul st\u0103tea \u00een casa de-al\u0103turi, mai era \u015fi asta, spre strad\u0103; aia din spate o mo\u015ftenise \u015fi-o \u00eenchiria la studente. Colega nu era de v\u0103zut, c\u00eend s-a produs porc\u0103ria fusese la Dej, la p\u0103rin\u0163i. \u00cenc\u0103 nu se-ntorsese, pesemne c\u0103 nici nu \u015ftia.<\/p>\n
V\u0103zu ma\u015fina Procuraturii \u00een fa\u0163\u0103 \u015fi doi in\u015fi \u00een\u0103untru. Laborator, citi, Criminalistic, pe u\u015fi. Poarta deschis\u0103, putu s\u0103 vad\u0103 \u00een curte c\u00ee\u0163iva fum\u00eend zgribuli\u0163i cu cafele \u00een m\u00eeini. N-aveau umbrele chiar to\u0163i. Ni\u015fte vecini \u015fi g\u0103zdoiul… Frecau menta. Pe \u0103la nu-l aduseser\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 de la penitenciar.<\/p>\n
– Dumneata cine e\u015fti? \u00ee\u015fi scoase unul \u0163igara din gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Din partea familiei. N-are cine s\u0103 vin\u0103, zise \u015etefi. Sunt prietenul ei.<\/p>\n
Procurorul sau poli\u0163istul, naiba s\u0103-l ia, c\u0103 era \u00een civil, \u00eel privi \u015fi nu spuse nimic. Sorbi din pahar.<\/p>\n
– Vrei o cafea? \u00eentreb\u0103 o femeie \u00een capot. Remarc\u0103 \u015fi-o privire complezent\u0103, \u00eens\u0103 destul de gr\u0103bit\u0103. \u00cencuviin\u0163\u0103, dar aia se lu\u0103 cu vorba \u015fi uit\u0103 s\u0103-i aduc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sf\u00eer\u015fit, se auzi o ma\u015fin\u0103 oprind. L-au dat jos \u00een c\u0103tu\u015fe. Nu era ce-\u015fi \u00eenchipuise. Se a\u015fteptase s\u0103 vad\u0103 un infractor, o brut\u0103 neagr\u0103, din alea. Tipul era sub\u0163irel \u015fi tuns foarte cool, cu p\u0103rul pe spate, \u00eentins, \u015fi luat mult \u00een sus pe l\u00eeng\u0103 urechi. A\u015fa am vrut s\u0103-mi fac \u015fi eu, se pomeni c\u0103 aude \u00een g\u00eend.<\/p>\n
Cei din curte s-au pus oarecum \u00een mi\u015fcare, adic\u0103 \u015fi-au dat cafeaua pe g\u00eet, au mai stins din \u0163ig\u0103ri, dar tot \u00eent\u00eerziau s\u0103 ias\u0103 \u00een ploaie, mai mult \u00eendemnau.<\/p>\n
– Hai, s\u0103-i d\u0103m drumul…<\/p>\n
– Cheam\u0103-i, m\u0103, pe \u0103ia din cas\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u015etefi \u00eel fixa cu luare-aminte pe noul sosit, ca \u015fi cum ar fi urmat s\u0103 descopere ceva familiar, urma ei. Se uita de sub umbrela l\u0103sat\u0103 pe frunte. Tipul se p\u0103stra la dispozi\u0163ie, nu \u00eendr\u0103znea s\u0103 se arate vioi, pentru c\u0103 dac\u0103 e\u015fti \u00een cercetare penal\u0103, stai \u00een banca ta, c\u0103 nu se accept\u0103.<\/p>\n
– \u015ei fata unde-i? f\u0103cu un civil.<\/p>\n
– La spital, l\u0103muri \u015etefi, fiind sigur c\u0103-i vorba de ea.<\/p>\n
– Nu aia, dom\u2019le! Tu e\u015fti…?<\/p>\n
– Da. Din familie.<\/p>\n
– Nu aia.<\/p>\n
\u015ei se uit\u0103 spre gardian.<\/p>\n
– N-a mai vrut s\u0103 vin\u0103, am fost s-o lu\u0103m \u015fi de-acas\u0103. C\u0103 se pl\u0103te\u015fte pu\u0163in.<\/p>\n
– Da\u2019 ce-o pl\u0103tesc io? Cine e?<\/p>\n
– O artist\u0103 de la Ansamblu.<\/p>\n
– Artist\u0103? O agent\u0103 de ce n-ai adus?<\/p>\n
– Nu pot s-o oblig. Dac\u0103 vrea, bine, dac\u0103 nu, nu.<\/p>\n
– \u015ei ce m\u0103-sa facem? \u00cen cinci minute s\u0103 fii aici cu una, nu m\u0103 prive\u015fte!<\/p>\n
– Nu vrea, ce s\u0103-i fac?<\/p>\n
– \u00ce\u0163i fac raport. Ce facem, m\u0103? ad\u0103ug\u0103 imediat.<\/p>\n
Cei din curte se uitau la el c-un aer suferind.<\/p>\n
– Artiste.<\/p>\n
– Acu\u2019 ce s\u0103 mai? \u00eendr\u0103zni cineva. Declara\u0163ia victimei oricum s-a luat. Poate vrea doamna \u015fi gata.<\/p>\n
– Da, f\u0103cu mama\u015fa-n capot, dar destul de nesigur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Procurorul se uit\u0103 la ea \u015fi avu un gest de lehamite.<\/p>\n
– Bine, l\u0103sa\u0163i… Unde-i \u0103la?<\/p>\n
Pe \u015etefi \u00eel c\u0103uta. \u00cei f\u0103cu semn s\u0103 se dea mai aproape.<\/p>\n
– E\u015fti la curent cu problema?<\/p>\n
– Da.<\/p>\n
– \u0162i-a spus ce \u015fi cum?<\/p>\n
– E-n spital, dar cunosc.<\/p>\n
– Foarte bine. Po\u0163i s\u0103 fii ea?<\/p>\n
– Dac\u0103… eu \u015ftiu? Nu \u015ftiu dac\u0103-s bun. Am venit s\u0103 asist din partea familiei.<\/p>\n
– \u00cenchide umbrela.<\/p>\n
Primul lucru pe care l-au pus s\u0103 fac\u0103, pe derbedeu, a fost s\u0103 sparg\u0103 u\u015fa. Treaba era a\u015fa: omul se i\u0163ea pe l\u00eeng\u0103 ferestre \u015fi dup\u0103 aceea baf! \u00een u\u015f\u0103. Cu c\u0103lc\u00eeiul, c\u0103tu\u015fele nu i le scoseser\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103. \u0102ia de la criminali\u015fti \u00eel filmau cu o camer\u0103 digital\u0103 \u015fi-i f\u0103ceau foto; o repeti\u0163ie \u2013 poze. Repeti\u0163ie \u015fi poze. Poftim, \u00ee\u015fi spuse \u015etefi, se uit\u0103 pe geam \u015fi Marcela-i \u00een cas\u0103. Eu ce fac? Stau afar\u0103? \u00eentreb\u0103 prin gesturi, \u00een general. Stai acolo, i se r\u0103spunse, la fel.<\/p>\n
– Dar Marcela era \u00een\u0103untru…<\/p>\n
– \u015etiu, nu-i nimic. Ai r\u0103bdare. Hai, m\u0103, spargi u\u015fa aia, ce faci?<\/p>\n
– Mai tare ca adineaori?<\/p>\n
– D\u0103 \u00een ea! hot\u0103r\u00ee procurorul.<\/p>\n
\u015ei delincventul, pentru c\u0103 \u0103\u015ftia abia a\u015fteapt\u0103 ocazii din astea, \u00eei d\u0103du un picior de-o rupse din broasc\u0103. Cine se uita \u00een momentul acela la proprietar, putea s\u0103 vad\u0103 expresia resemn\u0103rii.<\/p>\n
– Bun, hai \u00een cas\u0103. Aprinde\u0163i lumina.<\/p>\n
– De ce s-aprind\u0103 lumina? \u00eentreb\u0103 surprins criminalistul cu aparatul.<\/p>\n
– Nu-i noaptea?<\/p>\n
– P\u0103i, spune\u0163i, atunci, ca s\u0103 \u015ftim ce vorbim. Am filmat f\u0103r\u0103 bec.<\/p>\n
– Tot nu se vede nimic.<\/p>\n
– Cum nu se vede?<\/p>\n
– Ziua-n amiaza mare?<\/p>\n
– \u015ei ce? Se lucreaz\u0103 corect. Ca s\u0103 n-avem discu\u0163ii.<\/p>\n
– Bine, dom\u2019le, lucreaz-o corect. \u00cenchide u\u015fa aia cumva. Mai d\u0103-i un picior.<\/p>\n
Nu mai vroia s\u0103 \u015fad\u0103 \u00eenchis\u0103, au proptit-o c-un taburet. Hai iar cu filmatul, \u015fi c\u00eend i-a tras \u0103la una, a zburat p\u00een\u0103-n cas\u0103, din balamale.<\/p>\n
– Ce faci, m\u0103?<\/p>\n
– P\u0103i n-a\u0163i spus?<\/p>\n
– Bine, las\u0103… Hai, b\u0103iatu\u2019, suie-te-n pat.<\/p>\n
\u015etefi \u00eencepu s\u0103 se \u015ftearg\u0103 atent pe picioare.<\/p>\n
– Las\u0103, n-are nimic! Hai, odat\u0103! Stai \u00een pat, tu e\u015fti ea \u015fi te sperii. L-ai v\u0103zut pe \u0103sta cum a f\u0103cut…<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u015ei-o \u00eenchipui pe Marcela. Cum st\u0103tea ea \u00een pat cu conspectul \u015fi cum a dat nemernicul buzna. Trebuie c\u0103 te sperii \u00eengrozitor…<\/p>\n
– Ia s\u0103 v\u0103d, \u00eei cerur\u0103 s-arate.<\/p>\n
\u015etefi se concentr\u0103 o secund\u0103 \u015fi exprim\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Merge, hai.<\/p>\n
L-au filmat. Criminalistul r\u0103mase pe g\u00eenduri.<\/p>\n
– Ce n-a fost bine? f\u0103cu un gardian.<\/p>\n
– N-am putea s\u0103-i acoperim fa\u0163a cu ceva, c\u0103 tot nu conteaz\u0103?<\/p>\n
– Da? Cu ce?<\/p>\n
T\u00een\u0103rul se uita de la unul la altul. Ce n-a fost bine? Nici m\u0103car nu-\u0163i spune nimeni ca lumea.<\/p>\n
– Un prosop sau orice.<\/p>\n
– Uite-un fes.<\/p>\n
Un fes de-al Marcelei. \u015ei-l trase p\u00een\u0103 pe gur\u0103. Auzi ni\u015fte r\u00eesete, undeva, pe la geam: alea de-afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Gata! strig\u0103 cineva. G\u0103l\u0103gia! Nu ne juc\u0103m! Vezi ceva prin el?<\/p>\n
– Un pic… f\u0103cu \u015etefi.<\/p>\n
– Bun. E\u015fti \u00een pat \u015fi tu dai buzna pe ea, dup\u0103 ce-ai rupt u\u015fa de la intrare. \u00cent\u00eei cau\u0163i prin dulap \u015fi-n sertar; el, adic\u0103 ea se opune \u015fi te arunci peste ea. Cum \u015ftii c-ai f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n
– P\u0103i, sta\u0163i a\u015fa, c\u0103 nu la pr\u0103duit am intrat.<\/p>\n
– Nu?<\/p>\n
– Ast-am \u015fi declarat. Nu m\u0103 pune\u0163i. M\u0103 b\u0103ga\u0163i la t\u00eelh\u0103rie cu violare de domiciliu?<\/p>\n
– Ai venit, adic\u0103, chitit s\u0103 i-o tragi, vrei s\u0103 spui…<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul asculta \u0163eap\u0103n, cu fesul pe ochi. Trecutul la care se refereau nu-i era chiar str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
– Am venit, a zis \u0103la, s\u0103 m\u0103 simt \u015fi eu bine.<\/p>\n
\u00censeamn\u0103 c-o cuno\u015ftea, deduse \u015etefi \u00eeng\u00eendurat. Nenoroci\u0163i! O p\u00eendise. O urm\u0103rise.<\/p>\n
– Te m\u00eenca undeva… Bun, \u015fi cum facem?<\/p>\n
– Nu m\u0103-nc\u0103rca\u0163i \u015fi cu zula c\u0103 nu pun botu\u2019, v-am spus. Sunt coperant, dar f\u0103r\u0103, c\u0103 asta!<\/p>\n
– Atunci, de ce-ai spart-o?<\/p>\n
– Am spart-o acu! Nu era \u00eentreag\u0103 \u015fi se \u00eenchidea?<\/p>\n
– U\u015fa, b\u0103, u\u015fa asta nu-i spart\u0103!?<\/p>\n
– P\u0103i, cine m-a pus? Domn\u2019 procuror, am dat m\u00eena, ce naiba!<\/p>\n
– Bun, stai a\u015fa, f\u0103r\u0103 nervi… Atunci, cum de-ai intrat?<\/p>\n
– Am b\u0103tut \u015fi ea a venit s\u0103 se uite. \u015ei eu am b\u0103gat un picior.<\/p>\n
– \u015ei n-ai spart-o…<\/p>\n
– P\u0103i, nu era \u00eentreag\u0103, cum naiba era?<\/p>\n
– Hai de la cap\u0103t. \u00cenc-o dat\u0103, cu becul aprins! C\u0103sca\u0163i ochii-n na\u015fterea m\u0103-sii! La loc, cu u\u015fa \u00eenchis\u0103! Tu stai \u00een pat \u015fi vii s\u0103 vezi cine bate. Nu te mai sperii.<\/p>\n
Cum adic\u0103 nu m\u0103 mai sperii? reflect\u0103 \u015etefi, dup\u0103 ce auzi cioc\u0103nitul. Ce-i asta, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103-l a\u015ftepta?<\/p>\n
Cu aceast\u0103 \u00eendoial\u0103 pe chipul mascat de c\u0103ciul\u0103 ap\u0103ru la intrare. U\u015fa c\u0103zu la prima atingere. Se auzir\u0103 c\u00eeteva r\u00eesete \u00een curtea murat\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Alo! N-am nevoie de garaga\u0163\u0103 aici, strig\u0103 un oficial dintre \u0103ia. Lucr\u0103m! Ia, zece pa\u015fi mai \u00een spate, la gard!<\/p>\n
Spectatorii vicinali nu avur\u0103 obiec\u0163ii, iar borfa\u015ful simul\u0103 c\u0103 introduce piciorul \u00een u\u015f\u0103, dup\u0103 care se repezi \u00een\u0103untru cu m\u00eeinile-n poal\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Dezleag\u0103-l, hot\u0103r\u00ee cel ce ratase artista de la Ansamblu. Dac\u0103-\u0163i spun, dezleag\u0103-l, nu te uita! N-are pe unde ie\u015fi.<\/p>\n
– Ei, cum? f\u0103cu arestatul, \u00eentinz\u00eend c\u0103tu\u015fa spre cheie.<\/p>\n
– Hai! Pune-l s\u0103 fac\u0103! Sta\u0163i la ferestre, adu u\u015fa la loc!<\/p>\n
Acum, cu \u00eencheieturile libere, mergea mult mai bine. \u00cenvinuitul se c\u0103\u0163\u0103rase pe el. \u00cen mijlocul patului, \u015etefi resim\u0163ea o ru\u015fine de parc\u0103 vomase pe el; faptul c-avea fesul tras peste ochi putea fi socotit un noroc. \u00cenainte, \u00eel cam b\u0103\u015ficase ideea; destul de st\u00eenjenitor s\u0103 te la\u015fi \u00een felul acela mascat, dar, uite c\u0103 acum prinde bine. Cum puteau s\u0103 arate doi b\u0103rba\u0163i suprapu\u015fi? Oribil, nici nu vreau s\u0103 concep! Se privi, imaginativ, din afar\u0103: \u0103la pe el \u015fi el dedesubt b\u0103gat \u00een c\u0103ciul\u0103; o grea\u0163\u0103. \u00cencerca s\u0103 z\u0103reasc\u0103 ceva prin \u0163es\u0103tura mulat\u0103, sub care deja transpira.

Ce anume? Ce-i, adic\u0103, prea mult? S-a zb\u0103tut, sau nu s-a zb\u0103tut? \u015etiu \u0103\u015ftia ceva ce nu \u015ftiu? Vrea s\u0103 spun\u0103 c\u0103 Marcela nu s-a zb\u0103tut? Nesim\u0163i\u0163i. Atunci, de unde \u015fi-a luat v\u00een\u0103t\u0103i? M\u0103 rog, poate-am exagerat \u00een interpretare.<\/p>\n
\u015ei se zv\u00eercoli mai domol. \u0102la \u00eencerca s\u0103-l s\u0103rute pe la urechi. \u015etefi se ferea din reflex, dar, oricum, era cu fesul pe fa\u0163\u0103, n-avea dec\u00eet. Treaba e, se g\u00eendea \u00een tot acest timp, violul e un lucru infect \u015fi stresant. Dar pl\u0103cerea? Pentru c\u0103 pl\u0103cutul \u015fi vrutul n-au totdeauna un numitor. Po\u0163i s\u0103 te revol\u0163i, s\u0103 respingi, s\u0103 spui nu, \u00eens\u0103 pl\u0103cerea te-ascult\u0103? Pentru c\u0103 trupul se duce de capul lui, n-are treab\u0103 cu ce-\u0163i propui tu. Exist\u0103 \u015fi viol cu pl\u0103cere, s-a mai v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n

Totu\u015fi, nu cred c-a sim\u0163it foarte mult, c-o cunosc, e serioas\u0103. Poate un \u015foc limitat. L-a\u015f \u00eentreba, dar n-am cum.

Deci, treaba cu b\u0103taia, la urm\u0103… Foarte dr\u0103gu\u0163. Ai v\u0103zut?!<\/p>\n
Se ridic\u0103 de pe pat \u015fi-\u015fi aranj\u0103 c\u0103ciulia. Apoi se \u00eendrept\u0103 cu triste\u0163e spre telefon \u015fi a\u015ftept\u0103 s\u0103 se-nt\u00eemple ceva.<\/p>\n

Percepu f\u00ee\u015f\u00eeitul prin aer, dar lovitura \u00eent\u00eerzia.<\/p>\n

Tocmai trecea prin spatele unei dughene acoperit\u0103 de ploaie cu plastic; apuc\u0103 de folie \u015fi-o trase spre m\u00een\u0103. U\u0103u! se auzi din\u0103untru flor\u0103reasa \u00eensp\u0103im\u00eentat\u0103, odat\u0103 cu fo\u015fnetul de naufragiu.

Disp\u0103ru \u00een mul\u0163ime.<\/p>\n
Nu mai ploua. Intr\u0103 \u00een spital gesticul\u00eend cu umbrela pliat\u0103. G\u00eendurile i se buluceau ca pensionarii la coad\u0103, a\u015fa \u00eenc\u00eet d\u0103dea din m\u00een\u0103 destul. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce urca la etaj, \u00eencepea s\u0103 se trag\u0103 \u00eenapoi. Cum s-o iei la-ntreb\u0103ri de fa\u0163\u0103 cu alea-n salon? Dar dac\u0103-i de rupt, mai bine-o rupi la-nceput, c\u00eend e verde. Pe urm\u0103-i mai greu. \u015ei-a\u015fa te g\u00eende\u015fti cu oroare c\u0103 te expui unde s-a expus \u015fi s-a desf\u0103tat jigodia aia… A avut, a avut \u015fi fiorul, sunt sigur! \u201dS\u0103 m\u0103 simt bine\u201d, doi\u015fpe ani i-a\u015f da ca nimica, nici nu-mi vine s\u0103 cred… Aoleu, am uitat de compot!<\/p>\n
Deschise u\u015fa \u00eencet \u015fi privi \u00een\u0103untru. Fu \u0163intuit imediat din c\u00eeteva paturi. D\u0103du din cap \u015fi a\u015ftept\u0103 ca femeile s\u0103 fac\u0103 gestul conven\u0163ional al acoperirii. Un semn de bun\u0103-cuviin\u0163\u0103 care nu trecu neobservat. Marcela nu se mi\u015fc\u0103. F\u0103cu un pas \u00eentr-acolo \u015fi v\u0103zu c\u0103 dormea. Nu se a\u015fteptase. Ce faci \u00een situa\u0163ia asta?<\/p>\n
– Vrei s-o scoli? Pune m\u00eena pe ea, \u00eel \u00eencuraj\u0103 o bolnav\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu, nu vroia. N-apucase s\u0103 se spele pe m\u00eeini, \u015fi-aici, la chiuvet\u0103, nu se f\u0103cea. Se uita la ea, adormit\u0103 \u015fi cu perfuzia-n ven\u0103.

Nu, c\u0103 acolo fusese cu for\u0163a \u015fi c\u00eend e cu for\u0163a e complet altceva. De obicei, nu se pune. Dar, Doamne, cum s\u0103 te mai atingi de ea, \u00een\u0163elegi?, c\u0103-l sim\u0163i acolo ca moroiul, pe \u0103la, ca pe un gonococ. \u015ei \u0163i se pare c\u0103-l iei.

Curioase, de c\u00eete ori vezi un fraier care vine-n spital la aleasa lui violat\u0103? Ce se a\u015fteapt\u0103 s-ar\u0103\u0163i e dac\u0103 ai sentimente. Asta vrea omul, pe urm\u0103 se potole\u015fte \u015fi uit\u0103. Nu-i venea s-o trezeasc\u0103; bine c\u0103 dormi, mai vorbim.
