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
Uélton is now at the construction site, guiding the electricians' team. They are inside the room that will be the bathroom. Uélton has some circuit breakers on hand.“Guys, do you know what these pieces are for?” He asks masterfully and pedagogically, attracting the attention of the helpers, “This beauty avoids overloads and short circuits in the shower. If this occurs, the circuit breaker automatically turns off and interrupts the electrical flow.”The helpers nod and gape as if Uélton is the wisest electrician on Earth. But Uélton learned all this in the course he took at SENAC.After giving instructions on how to install the circuit breakers, Uélton walks into the house under construction and finds his radio with batteries. He turns it on and the song “I Wanna Take Forever Tonight” by Peter Cetera fills the atmosphere.Adolfo comes from Ferreira Hotel and greets his son-in-law, “Uélton, I have good news. My son is moving to Victoria to study gastronomy.”“Wow, how chic!” Uélton rej
Josias enters Rocha Constructions with an angry face after the argument with Angela. Octavio is embarrassed to greet him.“Good morning, Josias... how... how are you?”Josias notices he's scaring people away and tries to calm down, “Sorry, Octavio. I argued with Angela. No, it is not Everaldo’s prophecy being fulfilled in Uélton’s interpretation.”Octavio tries not to bring it up, “I know, it's the classic argument between couples. When I'm married, maybe I'll understand you.”Josias smiles slightly, “And when will your turn come, buddy? Sometimes I worry, I imagine your father.”Octavio responds good-naturedly, “My father is reassured that the offspring is guaranteed thanks to Jack.”“He's really going to marry that Veronica, huh?” Josias is unsure.“They are getting to know each other better.” Octavio blinks.Cristina and Moacyr pass by them."Oh, Josias, glad you're here." Moacyr greets him, “Today we will have a farewell party for Igor and we want your presence.”“Count me in,” Jo
