Rainbow Garden. Teodoro is walking on Josias's former street to enter his old house.He’s wearing dark glasses not to be recognized, even if the chances were minimal. He has never been seen before.And for the residents of Rainbow Garden, it wouldn't be strange for someone to show up at the abandoned Rocha family home. Perhaps he was a real estate agent to resolve the issue.Yes, resolve it, because Josias's old house has become a problem for the neighbors.Since the tragedy, the house has been closed by the police. Informed that the late Tony Rocha had a son, he was expected to return. So, nobody did anything.But the months went by, and the neighbors started to worry. The undergrowth began to grow in the yard, attracting unwanted insects. The dirt started to accumulate. Have an idea of how the interior of the house looked! Dust, mold, and cobwebs at a minimum.It is exactly this aspect that Teodoro finds Josias's house. He sighs, des

Uélton approaches, wanting to know the reason for such a commotion. “Hey, guys! Am I missing something?”“Josias has recovered some things from his old home,” Romualdo explains.“Wow! And how did he do it without being seen by the moneylender?”Teodoro explains, “I went to his house. Josias taught me the address. Only one ex-neighbor caught me, thinking that I was looting the house and admitting that everyone else is doing the same. One such Mathias took the iron for his wife.”“I know who is. And I'm not surprised.” Josias says, undoing the hug and wiping away tears.“Congratulations, Josias.” Romualdo cheers him up, “I hope that in the future we can get more things, or maybe get the house back.”“I'll only go back to Rainbow Garden when they arrest the loan shark!” Josias frowns resolutely, “As long as impunity reigns in that neighb

Simeão is taken aback by Pamela's trick question. Is Josias the right boyfriend for Melissa?“You see, Pamela, both are happy, and Josias is not making my daughter suffer, I think the answer is yes,” Simeão responds with a smile.Pamela has to control herself not to be seduced by Simeão's smile (even though he doesn't mean to) and replies, “I meant if Josias is the right boyfriend. I didn't want to talk about happiness. I'm asking about necessity.”Simeão raises an eyebrow, he is feeling the conversation quite amused. “Oh, Pamela, then you went over the top. I don't know; do you have another objection?”“It’s his mysterious past that he refuses to say.” She utters the phrase in one breath, “Dona Dora asked and he was all embarrassed. Like you, I didn't know him until months ago; at the barbecue that we had at home.”“Do you suspect that there is some

The next day, Wednesday, Melissa is surprised by Fabrício's presence so early in the day.Really early, because Simeão is still leaving for work, wearing jumpsuits and William is wearing school uniform shorts.“Fabrício?” Simeão asks with a visible strangeness, “Did you lose anything here?”“Mr. Campos, good morning. Is Melissa at home?” Fabrício asks trying to captivate with a smile.“Of course she is.” Simeão does not mean to be rude, “If you doubt it, she must still be asleep.”William gives a sarcastic laugh and puts the backpack on his back. Fabrício realizes that William will not accept him as a brother-in-law and asks him out of teasing.“Are you going to school without a uniform shirt? Do they let you in?”William just smiles as if to say 'I can do it' and leaves, bumping into Fabrício violently, inti

"That's right, Mom, I was forgetting about the graduation party!" Melissa collapses on the couch, her eyes wide."But, I haven't forgotten." Dora spoke with a smart smile, “I'm almost done with your dress at the sewing machine. It will be cute, my daughter.”"If it looks like the mold magazine you showed me, I can be crowned the prom queen!" Melissa maintained that illusion."And how are you going to be queen without a king?" Dora remembers it.Melissa has a jolt, she feels like she's fallen out of the clouds. The mother still doesn't know that Josias ran away from home with only the clothes on. Obviously, Josias does not have an Italian-cut suit stored in his dresser.How does Josias go to the prom?If she invites him, that will be the excuse for him not to go. ‘Sorry, Melissa, but I don’t have a suit’.However, she remembered that Josias's clothes he wore at Pamela's barbecue were from Wallace. And when
