M\u0103lina era \u00een zodia Pe\u015ftilor, cu ascendent \u00een Fecioar\u0103. Era n\u0103scut\u0103 \u00een anul Tigrului de Foc, \u00eentr-o zi dominat\u0103 de o lun\u0103 plin\u0103 \u00een trigon cu Pluton, planeta misterelor. Num\u0103rul ei norocos era 8, \u015fi \u015ftia c\u0103 via\u0163a \u00eei rezerv\u0103 aventur\u0103, cunoa\u015ftere, \u015fansa unor c\u00e2\u015ftiguri financiare consistente \u015fi o rela\u0163ie stabil\u0103 dup\u0103 v\u00e2rsta de 30 de ani.<\/p>\n
Toate aceste informa\u0163ii extrem de utile veneau din faptul c\u0103 M\u0103lina era pasionat\u0103 de aceast\u0103 imens\u0103 surs\u0103 de adev\u0103r, care era horoscopul. Ar fi putut oric\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u015fi deschid\u0103 un cabinet de astrologie \u015fi s\u0103 prezic\u0103 destine implacabile; dar nici prin minte nu i-ar fi trecut s\u0103 amestece sacrul stelar al zodiilor cu imundul h\u00e2d al banilor. \u00cen schimb, nu rata nici un horoscop de nic\u0103ieri; diminea\u0163a punea de\u015ftept\u0103torul s\u0103 sune, s\u0103 afle ce-i preziceau astrele fiec\u0103rui matinal de radio \u015fi, respectiv, de televiziune. Dac\u0103 se nimerea s\u0103 se suprapun\u0103 dou\u0103 horoscoape, pe unele le \u00eenregistra, cel pu\u0163in la zodia ei, ale p\u0103rin\u0163ilor, ale celor trei tipi pe care-i agrea \u015fi c\u0103rora le d\u0103dea alternativ semnale subtile c\u0103 e disponibil\u0103, ale prietenelor de shopping \u2013 pe scurt, ignora doar vreo dou\u0103 zodii, care nu-i sunau familiar.<\/p>\n
Revelionul l-a f\u0103cut \u00eentr-un restaurant de lux, cu un meniu de c\u00e2teva sute de euro, pentru c\u0103 astrele \u00eei preziseser\u0103 o noapte spumoas\u0103, sclipitoare, \u00een \u00eenalta societate, \u015fi compania unui b\u0103rbat agreabil. De aceea, M\u0103lina a avut grij\u0103 s\u0103 ajung\u0103 \u015fi la cosmetician\u0103, \u015fi la cea mai bun\u0103 coafez\u0103 din cartier, tanti Sissy, cu care era extrem de compatibil\u0103, pentru c\u0103 erau n\u0103scute \u00een aceea\u015fi zodie \u015fi aveau \u015fi ascendentul \u00een zodii armonioase: M\u0103lina \u00een Fecioar\u0103, iar tanti Sissy, \u00een Capricorn. \u00cempreun\u0103 au c\u0103zut de acord c\u0103 sosise momentul s\u0103 se m\u0103rite, dar c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103-\u015fi g\u0103seasc\u0103 un b\u0103iat bun \u015fi bine situat, c\u0103 zodia Pe\u015ftilor e preten\u0163ioas\u0103 \u015fi nu se mul\u0163ume\u015fte cu oricine. \u015ei tanti Sissy \u00eei spusese exact ce auzise \u015fi ea la matinal, c\u0103 Venus e \u00een conjunc\u0163ie cu Marte, ceea ce favorizeaz\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lnirile cu sexul opus, flirtul, ba chiar creeaz\u0103 posibilitatea unor sentimente cu totul speciale.<\/p>\n
Sentimentele cu totul speciale meritau o \u0163inut\u0103 pe m\u0103sur\u0103: o rochie de lam\u00e9 auriu, cu umerii dezgoli\u0163i \u015fi tren\u0103, \u015fi pantofi ro\u015fii cu toc, s\u0103 aduc\u0103 noroc \u00een noaptea de Revelion \u015fi s\u0103 creeze acel contrast intens Foc \u2013 Metal, care s\u0103 echilibreze energia acvatic\u0103 a nativului autentic din zodia Pe\u015ftilor.<\/p>\n
“Ce petrecere reu\u015fit\u0103!” auzi brusc o voce senzual\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
M\u0103lina se \u00eentoarse str\u0103fulgerat\u0103. Acesta urma s\u0103 fie b\u0103rbatul generos \u015fi stilat cu care se va plimba pe croaziere, va bea \u015fampanie \u015fi va face dragoste pe o blan\u0103 de urs \u00een fa\u0163a \u015femineului, pe o muzic\u0103 de medita\u0163ie zen cu clopote tibetane, dat\u0103 \u00een surdin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fu surprins\u0103 s\u0103 descopere c\u0103 era un domn mai degrab\u0103 chel, cu spr\u00e2ncene foarte deschise la culoare, indic\u00e2nd o absen\u0163\u0103 blond\u0103 de pe fruntea lui \u00eenalt\u0103, filosofic\u0103, \u015fi cu o b\u0103rbie mai c\u0103rnoas\u0103 dec\u00e2t prevedeau legile frumuse\u0163ii grece\u015fti. O clip\u0103, sim\u0163i fiorul de nedescris al dezam\u0103girii; apoi, se uit\u0103 \u00een jur, constat\u0103 c\u0103 majoritatea cov\u00e2r\u015fitoare a domnilor aveau diverse prezen\u0163e feminine atr\u0103g\u0103toare la bra\u0163, a\u015fa c\u0103 decise repede: \u201eNu da vrabia din m\u00e2n\u0103…\u201d \u015ei totu\u015fi, era vorba de conjunc\u0163ia \u00eentre Venus \u015fi Marte, nu \u00eentre Ursa Mare \u015fi… m\u0103 rog, nu g\u0103sea pe moment o constela\u0163ie suficient de frumoas\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 \u0163in\u0103 locul ei, al M\u0103linei, \u00een aceast\u0103 analogie. \u201eStelele sunt reci; n-au sclipirea din ochii mei\u201d, \u00ee\u015fi spuse, oglindindu-se \u00een cea mai apropiat\u0103 fereastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eStelele sunt reci, n-au sclipirea din ochii t\u0103i\u201d, spuse interlocutorul \u00een aproape aceea\u015fi secund\u0103.
\nM\u0103lina se \u00eentoarse spre el siderat\u0103, emo\u0163ionat\u0103 \u015fi cu fluturi \u00een stomac. Dumnezeule! Un b\u0103rbat care ghice\u015fte g\u00e2nduri!<\/p>\n
\u201eCiocnim un pahar de \u015fampanie, s\u0103 fie o prietenie de bun augur?\u201d, propuse b\u0103rbatul.
\n\u201e\u015eampanieee!\u201d se bucur\u0103 M\u0103lina din str\u0103fundul sufletului.
\n\u201eRochiile lungi \u015fi rafinate se asorteaz\u0103 perfect cu \u015fampania\u201d, chicoti ea flutur\u00e2nd din gene \u015fi \u00eenf\u0103\u015fur\u00e2ndu-\u015fi o bucl\u0103 \u00eencre\u0163it\u0103 artistic de tanti Sissy \u00een jurul ar\u0103t\u0103torului.
\n\u201eA\u015fa zic \u015fi eu. \u00cemi place s\u0103 cople\u015fesc frecvent femeile cu aceast\u0103 combina\u0163ie\u201d, murmur\u0103 b\u0103rbatul, aduc\u00e2ndu-i un pahar de cristal.<\/p>\n
Mintea M\u0103linei d\u0103du instant un \u201elike\u201d imaginar, dar cu at\u00e2t mai febril, acestui comentariu. Un b\u0103rbat care nu te cople\u015fe\u015fte frecvent e o pierdere de vreme.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u015etiu, nici m\u0103car nu te-ai uita la un b\u0103rbat lipsit de elegan\u0163\u0103 \u015fi generozitate\u201d, continu\u0103 partenerul ei. \u201e\u015ei mi se pare firesc ca o femeie s\u0103 aib\u0103 standarde \u00eenalte. Sunt mai mult dec\u00e2t \u00eenc\u00e2ntat s\u0103 le satisfac.\u201d
\nInima M\u0103linei se topi \u015fi se scurse \u00eencet la vale, spre sud.
\n\u201eA\u015fa suntem noi, b\u0103rba\u0163ii din zodia Leului; ni\u015fte cavaleri dornici s\u0103 ne satisfacem prin\u0163esele pe toate planurile!\u201d
\nM\u0103lina \u00eentoarse brusc spre el ni\u015fte ochi mari, mira\u0163i, cu gene lungi.
\n\u201eZodia Leului?\u201d
\n\u201eDa\u201d, z\u00e2mbi cu siguran\u0163\u0103 de sine companionul ei.
\n\u201eDar… nu se poate.\u201d
\n\u201eDe ce?\u201d
\n\u201eP\u0103i, astrele zic c\u0103 suntem complet incompatibili.\u201d
\n\u201eDar ce e\u015fti tu?\u201d
\n\u201ePe\u015fti cu ascendent \u00een Fecioar\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen clipa aceea inefabil\u0103, c\u00e2nd tot restaurantul savura aperitive, b\u0103rbatul intui c\u0103 totul se destr\u0103mase. Ridic\u0103 spre ea o privire trist\u0103:
\n\u201eP\u0103cat. Ar fi putut fi frumos.\u201d
\n\u201eDar poate r\u0103m\u00e2nem prieteni\u201d, murmur\u0103 M\u0103lina cu ochii \u00eenot\u00e2nd \u00een lacrimi.
\n\u201eExclus\u201d, oft\u0103 el. \u201eDin p\u0103cate, inconstan\u0163a nativului din Pe\u015fti \u015fi ner\u0103bdarea originarului din zodia Leului nu-i recomand\u0103 pentru prietenie\u201d, cit\u0103 ca din Octavian Paler, complet\u00e2nd.
