Beto dashes into the nightclub, searching like a lion for his little sister. He passes between the clubgoers, turning his head left and right, looking avidly to see if he can find Vera. The song "Caribean Queen" by Billy Ocean is pounding loudly in his eardrums.
"I wonder if she's already giving herself to some crazy guy in the bathrooms." He grunts.
At the doors of the men's and women's bathrooms, there are indeed some couples making out each other. But Beto can't find his beloved sister. He feels a lump in his throat and his eyes become watery.
"She's gone... She's not here anymore!"

Saturday. In Vera's apartment, the phone rings insistently. Vera appears in her nightgown, groggy with sleep and with her hand on her head. When she answers, she is not in a good mood. "Hello, who is this?"
Teodoro answers bellowing from the other end, in his office, "Daughter! Thank God you are safe, sou

Anyway, at least we'll talk to each other at the party.""We'll see, Adrian."The tone of her voice does not put Moacyr at ease. When she decides to move ahead and enter the church, he pulls Adrian by the arm."Son, I don't think she's comfortable introducing you to her family yet."

There was a bucket with champagne and two glasses. Who left it there?Josias smiles satisfied, "Tiago and another one of his mysteries."The bathroom door opens and Melissa comes out of it, without her veil, her hair loose, also barefoot and smiling at her current husband."When I came in, that champagne was there." She informs."Let's just say it was a loving gesture from the Bento family."Melissa asks graciously, "Couldn't it have been Everaldo?"Josias lets out a laugh.

"I said I wanted something simple and that I wouldn't even be at the party. Everything we had to do: photos, greeting guests, and catering, we did in the church. Ah, my darling, I couldn't stand the anxiety anymore!Josias smiles maliciously. "Be careful, my darling. Whoever hears you, will think you were too anxious for your honeymoon."Melissa rests her cup on one of the lampshade tables, "Not really.
