Uélton and Jock are surprised to see that Josias is threatening to fire his best friend because of Angela.Uélton defends himself as best he can, “Josias, you are taking this too far.”“Am I the one who keeps saying I'll make two more people unhappy? Isn't it enough that I broke Melissa's heart?” Josias asserts gruffly.“You can heal Melissa's heart by marrying her again.” Uélton insists, almost begging.“And how got Kelvin and Angela in this story?” Josias smiles wryly.“Kelvin is a good guy, he can get another girl.” Uélton responds as if everything were so simple, “As for Angela, I really don't care how she turns out. She is to blame for you getting divorced.”“But she mothered one of my children. David is not to blame for anything.” Josias remembers him.“Neither Alan nor Caroline, but they are the ones who suffered the most.” Uélton says, “However, that's not what it's about. What do the pictures I took of Jock have to do with all this?”Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth
Elza is walking through the hotel corridors, checking that things are in order, until Vernon finds her.“Hey, my dear! The maids said you were here.” He kisses her on the cheek, “I hope this article is good enough for all of us.”Elza smiles and takes the newspaper that her husband handed her. But the smile slowly fades as she reads the article.“Honey, are you going to...” She asks fearfully, “Are you going to talk about Angie's failed bachelorette party?”“I told you, honey.” Vernon smiles slyly, “People need to know the truth.”“I talked to Josias.” She sighs, “He's still shocked by our slights, but he's pleased with Melissa committing to sticking with Kelvin.”“Darling, I think Josias is going to get himself into trouble marrying that little minx. I know they have a son, but Josias already takes care of all of David's needs.” Vernon opines with a serious face.Elza nods, worried, “And I think further: Angela might be able to get rid of J.J, wanting David to be the sole heir.”“Tha
At Café Montanha, Rodrigo brought a radio to set the scene while his customers have a basic snack. At this moment, the song “Fairground”, by Simply Red, cheered up those who had a very tasty coffee.The only ones who didn't get excited were Shirley and Kelvin, relatives of the cafeteria owner.Kelvin scowled in anger when he heard his mother ask him to break off his engagement to Melissa, “Mom, have you lost your mind?”“Son, you know I love you.” Shirley tries to explain herself, “I wouldn't ask this if I knew it was best for everyone.”“For everyone?” Kelvin retorts in disbelief.“Yes, because I'm afraid of Everaldo's prophecy.” Shirley finally explains why.Kelvin, hearing his mother, chuckles and takes both her hands, “Mom, don't worry. Melissa will be happy with me, as Everaldo said.”“No, son, we got it wrong. Everaldo told Uélton that the correct interpretation of the prophecy—”“OK, I understand.” Kelvin gently interrupts his mother, “Uélton talked about it at the bachelor par
Shirley tries to convince Kelvin that it's best for everyone if he breaks off his engagement with Melissa, but Kelvin is too in love with her to do that.She takes a deep breath to answer his plea, “Son, I want to support your happiness. But with what I know about Everaldo's prophecy, I'm afraid something bad could happen to you if you insist on marriage.”“Something bad?” Kelvin's eyes widen.“Yes, I fear you may have an accident... or even die supernaturally.” Shirley gets goosebumps even though the coffee shop is at room temperature.“Mom, don't spread that kind of stuff.” Kelvin frowns slightly, feeling offended, “I don't believe God will go to extremes. I'm not sinning, I love Melissa. We are not in carnal intimacy; we are sleeping in separate rooms.”Shirley doesn't calm down, “If only we could get in touch with Everaldo...”“The only ones who have contact with him are Josias and Uélton.” Kelvin scratches the back of his head.The radio is now playing “Only Wanna Be With You” by
At Café Montanha, Flávia is taken by surprise when Shirley asks if she knows Everaldo.Kelvin tries to ease the embarrassment, “Flávia, don't care what my mother says. She is desperate and doesn't know what she does.”Shirley huffs, "Kelvin, don't play with godly matters."Flavia kindly responds, “Mrs. Mountain, unfortunately, I don't know Everaldo closely enough to give you this information. Uélton found him in the square selling hot dogs.”Shirley looks toward the plaza, "But there's no one selling hot dogs today or last week."Flávia shrugs her shoulders, “This only increases our perspective on Everaldo not being of this world.”"And my daughter, as usual, doesn't believe it." Shirley rolls her eyes, "If I didn't believe in Everaldo's divine power, then she would."Flavia smiles, “Well, my blackberry pie saved that day. Maggie even asked me for the recipe.”"May she learn good things like cooking a pie instead of insulting her mother." Shirley opines bitterly.Kelvin gets up, “Mom,
Tuesday. Uélton is dressed in his usual attire for working in construction: an orange helmet, worn jeans, boots, and his handy toolbox.Flávia is at the newspaper reading the real estate ads. Their radio is playing the song “Over My Shoulder” by Mike + The Mechanics.Uélton approaches his wife, “Darling, what are you reading?”“I am looking for houses to buy or rent.” She stares at him, “Did your parents ever tell you that they want us to move closer to them?”Uélton sighs, “If they did, I completely forgot.”“I get it, honey, there's so much going on in 1995.” Flávia reads the newspaper again, “But I think it's a good idea for us to stay close to them, including Reuben. He can attend high school at the same school in Green Park with Caio.”“This is a good idea.” Uélton looks around, “The point is that this house gives me countless memories.”Flavia smiles understandingly, “I know, my love. But your mother said something right: you earn a great salary and have a great position at Roch
Isabel and Harold are also bursting with laughter when they read the report about Angela having spent the afternoon at the slammer, according to their perspective. Uélton appears at this moment."Hello, mother! Hello, dad. What's so funny that you're red from laughing?"Harold organizes his breathing as if he were Jennifer Holliday, “Son, your father almost had a heart attack from laughing. Your best friend's fiancée is still called a 'concubine' by the media!”Uélton realizes that their parents read the news in the newspaper, but remains serious, which only makes the scene funnier, “And where is the mistake?”Isabel's stomach hurts as she giggles more, “Stop it, son, I can't take it anymore.”Uélton gives a slightly ironic smile, “What does the report say?”Harold picks up the newspaper that has been scattered on the floor, “Angela Souza got into trouble in the Rocha penthouse and ended up behind bars for an afternoon to learn not to be a troublemaker anymore.”“Was it Melissa who ca
Uélton and his parents decide to change the subject.“Dad, I came here to discuss the proposal you guys made about me moving here.” Uélton solemnly talks, “Actually, Flávia was reading the real estate ads today.”Harold smiles, “Son, I understand that our old house brings back childhood and teenage memories. But life has changed, the time has passed, and our economic situation has improved surprisingly.”Isabel adds affectionately, “That's why, dear son, we think you should leave our little house in the favela behind and think about your future with your family.”Harold concludes, “A man of your position, on the salary you earn, can't go on living in a place like Happiness Slum. Someone could be capable of getting you robbed or breaking into your house if they find out how your bank account is stuffed.”Uélton laughs, “Years ago I was loaded with debts, remember? My friends donated to help me with the wedding party.”Isabel kisses her son's cheek, “Yes, we remember. But that's in the
