MONICA'S LIVING ROOMMonica and Carina break the hug.Célio responds cautiously, "Carina, we don't understand your irritation."Monica makes Carina sits, she calms down."Here's the topic, folks. I went to the police station to file the complaint against Miriam myself, and I told the officer that I was considering filing a lawsuit against the criminal."Monica reacts excitedly, "Is that so, Carina? How cool. You can count on me.""Well, Chief Roldão dodged it, avoided it, addressed me with cheap pick-up lines, but he didn’t make the bulletin against his girlfriend."Monica and Célio react in revolt.Célio protests, "It can't, people!""Chief Roldão is letting us down." Monica regrets.Carina goes on, "Tell me about it. I tried to reason with him, but he got angry and ordered the guards to arrest me.""Again? This is nonsense!"Carina takes a deep breath. She can't say that Ricardo went with her and was previously waiting. So she goes on, changing that little detail, "Then, out of nowh
POLICE STATION — CELL - NIGHTRicardo threatens to demote Carlos from the police station if he continues his unfair detention. Carlos was leaving the cell, two steps back. He speaks confidently and provocatively, "You are not serious."Ricardo responds firmly, "I've never been so serious in my life.""It means that a criminal like you is going to convince the neighborhood to get me out of here, in fulfillment of my duty—"Ricardo cuts him off, "You're not doing your duty! You're acting out of jealousy, unjustifiable jealousy because Carina doesn't give a damn! Not while you're with Miriam acting promiscuous!""Look how you talk about my girlfriend!""What kind of dating is this? Why do you insist on having this crazy girl as a girlfriend if you love Carina? Otherwise, you wouldn't mind seeing her with me so much!""I'm protecting Carina from sexual predators like you!"Ricardo screams to the max, "I am not this!"Carlos punches Ricardo, who falls to the floor with everything.He conti
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCélio gets up, trying to get around the situation."Carina, you have to understand that a man like Ricardo cannot get your attention. He is dangerous, manic, too mysterious, and doesn’t inspire confidence. You are very innocent and like to trust people, but some take advantage."Carina insists, "I'm sorry, guys, but I have the motto 'do good without looking at whom'. It’s very clear that the chief didn’t arrest Ricardo for the 'cat' in the electric power, it was out of jealousy. I was in doubt, now I am sure."Monica asks, "Sure what?""Roldão is in love with me. But, God knows why he chose to date Miriam. If he declared himself to me..."Célio scratches his head, "I was saying to Monica... The flesh spoke louder. All that conservative talk went down the drain as soon as Miriam and he almost mated at the police station—""How was it?!"Monica and Célio startle at Carina's outburst."C-calm down, my friend..." Monica tries to calm her.Carina becomes furious, "Were
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCarina is disgusted to know that Carlos and Miriam are slowly crossing the red line, "This can only be a joke! Carlos Roldão, the serious, conservative, traditionalist man... What is accusing Ricardo of taking my innocence, of taking me to bed... is he doing everything he accuses with the indigestible Miriam?"Célio answers, "We don't know if they have already crossed the red light, but at the police station he was already shirtless."Carina reacts by having a mental snap, "Wait! She already said... She said it to me, on the day she destroyed my work! She said something about the officer not wearing underwear... Yes! She knows this detail because—"Monica covers her ears, "Oh, people, what a horror! Not even Fábio..."Célio decides to mitigate the scandal, "Carina, I think this thing about the underwear was just to provoke you. But, yes, she is slowly driving him away from the idea of chastity."Carina is hurt, "Is she driving him away...? Or, is he willingly gi
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMMonica pours mango juice for Célio; the two each sit on a sofa. She comments, "Difficult day today. Carina is going through problems never seen before.""I'm starting to get worried about these problems, Moniquinha. If Chief Roldão starts going crazy like Hitler...""I'm getting worried about something else, Cé."Célio takes a sip, letting Monica continue, "I'm getting worried about Carina's sudden interest in Ricardo."Célio makes a nonchalant face, "No, Monica. That is the least.""Don't you see, Célio? With this arrest, unfair or not, Ricardo starts to get Carina's attention. Carina feels sorry for the arrest of a Royal-Hiller citizen and forgets who the guy is.""She wants to repel injustices, no matter who suffers them. A noble heart."Monica shakes her head, "Yeah, I don't have all that nobility. Tomorrow, when Carina is calmer, I will convince her that the best thing for all of us is that Ricardo stay behind bars and pay for his crimes."Célio finishes drin
RHODIA AVENUE - DAYFriday, residents are walking toward their activities. There is traffic in shops. And many notice the absence of police station posters and the pieces that dirty the sidewalks. Among them, Rosa is leaving Cascais Bakery and also notices the situation.A resident near her said, "Look what these restless young people and vandals do to get us off the ground. They ripped up the police station's campaign posters!""Yes. And the whole neighborhood is still dirty."Another female resident complains, "What an absurd! Hopefully, Chief Roldão will arrest them all!"Rosa follows the path noticing the pieces of the posters that fly in the cold morning wind. MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - DAYSandra and Miriam enter. The owner of the house is alarmed.Sandra defines, "it's decided, Miriam. Next time, we'll meet at my house. Célio and my boyfriend live nearby, so the risk here is greater. In my house, no one lives nearby, except Rosa from the stationery shop.""And she is not a friend of the group, so less bad. Huh, I called you because I need to discuss something very serious with you, but please, stay between us."Sandra looks like she's going to keep it a secret or not. "You can talk.""Last night Cassio came here."Sandra bounces on the bed, "How did that scoundrel dare?"MiriRhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 222 I have a boyfriend, Seu Aurélio
AURÉLIO'S BEDROOM - DAYCarina tells Aurélio that she is dating after they exchange a quick kiss. There is embarrassment between the two of them."Carina... why did you let me kiss you, then tell me that?"Carina reacts indignantly, "I didn't mean to do that on purpose!"Aurélio is quick to fix, "No, no, I'm sorry! I don't want to accuse you of anything. You know... Something happened.""Yes, a chemistry."Aurélio speaks intimately, "Carina, you are a beautiful girl and I would be pleased to help you in that regard, in the field of love. But, if you are already committed... Then I won’t be the bastard who ruins everything."
