GRANJA SQUARE — PARK AND CIRCUS - DAYIn the amusement park, the Ferris wheel is almost ready, and other tents and toys are being set up at full speed. Among the movement, there are curious and expectant residents. Among them are Cássio, Sandra, and Ed."Look how cool," Ed exclaims, "Let's have a carousel and a Ferris wheel!""The carousel has always existed, Edward," Cassio remembers."Our merry-go-round is not happy to be called 'merry-go-round'. Theirs are very well preserved, today we don't get tetanus.""And what is that tent over there?"Cassio points out like any indiscreet person. And Sandra sees: it’s the famous kissing booth. Sandra smiles slightly, already in her mind imagining some way to make Célio and Monica kiss in the tent, with Miriam photographing to take Fábia Peres."It's the legendary kissing booth.""My mom told me that she’s called the tent--"Cássio was going to talk about a sexually transmitted disease, but Sandra gives him a quick warning look so he doesn't s

CIRCUS - DAYIn the middle of the pandemonium, Carlos has his gun pointed at Cássio, just because he guessed that the officer is upset to be rejected by Carina. Tito, Célio, and Cláudio arrive in time to avoid the worst. Cássio still risks being funny and opens one eye to check his rescuers."Thankfully, I was already meditating on my will.""And how were you going to write the will after you died?" Célio tries at all costs to keep himself from laughing at the joke, "Psychographed?""I was going to haunt you in your thoughts."There was no way, Célio burst out laughing. The situation left everyone less tense.Tito smiles slightly and turns his attention back to Carlos, "Chief Roldão, make your subordinates stop this mess. Mr. Reis had already obtained the license. You should have consulted me first.""I received an anonymous report and came to investigate. Nobody had anything."Cláudio tries to explain himself, but there is distress in his voice, "I was in the Association with the may

RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - DAYTito, Sandra, and Cássio decide to close the Association and go to lunch.Sandra speaks to the mayor, "Mayor Tito, we needed to talk about the newspaper you wanted to establish, but after that... Can we leave it for Monday?""Yes, we can, young lady. Come Monday, it’s a working day. I am going home from here to rest."Cássio declares, "And I, too, had strong emotions. I wanted to go to the opening, but I don't know."Sandra joins him, "I'm not going today, forgive me. Maybe tomorrow. Shall we go, dear?""Come on. Bye, Seu Tito, and again, thanks for everything!""You are welcome, Cássio."The two leave. Sandra still does not understand why Cássio is so grateful to Tito and intends to ask as soon as they are alone.FÁBIA PERES'S LIVING ROOMFábia Peres is doing exercises according to a television program. She is sweaty, indicating that she already has time. The series of executions end, and she breathes a sigh of relief. She takes a washcloth and wipes the

RICARDO'S CAR - DAYRicardo needs to make an important decision. If he keeps driving, he will question what Miriam is doing crouched between Monica and Carina's houses. But if he does, Miriam will discover Carina inside his car, and she will discover that the two are dating. Carina doesn't want that at all.Then, Ricardo accelerates the car and passes straight. As Miriam also doesn't want to be recognized, she doesn't pay attention to the driver and tries to look like she's taking someone else's photo.STREETSWhen the car passes, Fábia Peres returns from Carina's house. Miriam turns to her, very pissed."Fábia Peres! Where have you been?"Only now that Fábia Peres realizes that she had forgotten to alert Miriam, "I... I hid in the house next door...""Carina's house? What if she is there and sees you?"It turns out she isn't, I can tell. Sorry, friend."Miriam gives her a reprimanding look. 'Friend'? "Luckily the car passed and apparently the driver was very focused on driving. But,

CARLOS LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMiriam asks Carlos if he is getting so bizarre and careless about his job at the police station because of Carina. Carlos first looks at her with hatred just to remember the precious name. Then he looks back at the television."This has nothing to do with her."Miriam twists a corner of her mouth in disbelief and then crosses her arms, "So, can we, as friends, discuss what's bothering you? Because Officer Carlos Roldão, the head of the neighborhood police station I know, didn't shoot in front of children.""What is bothering me," He replies in an acid tone, "It's you here with that rattle of yours. I'm trying to watch television!""You can't watch television, but it's not because of me. When you want to talk, look for me, but without being drunk."Miriam acts as if she is going out, but she stops and comes back, to say one more detail, "I loved you, Carlos Roldão. I venture to say that I still like you. I am willing to wait for you back; who knows love m

GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONAnnie is surprised by Rosa's reprimand tone when she announces that she wants to talk to her about Jonas."What is it, Rosa? I was even startled by that tone.""You should be concerned about how much your dating is going on. Jonas keeps making mistakes and hurting you and are you still okay with him?"Annie decides to respond in a calm tone, so as not to add more fuel to the fire, "It turns out that our love overcomes any disagreement, Rosa. I don't see myself with any other boy and certainly, Jon doesn't see himself with another girl.""He doesn't see himself because you're the only girl in the world to pay attention to this guy!""You know, I think Jonas is right: everybody wants to separate us. But, as the saying goes: only the spoon in the pot knows how hot it is."Rosa tries to process the saying for a few seconds, "Do you mean that because I'm single, I can't give you loving advice? Damn it, Annie, I just want to help you as a friend.""And I am very gr

GRANJA SQUARE - DAYGreat agglomeration of the neighborhood leaving the Church after another Sunday Mass. And as usual, everyone takes the opportunity to go to the fair. Carina, an example of a devout Christian, still in her modest clothes, goes to her tent and opens it to sell what is left of her paintings and what she managed to paint at night until today.Luis didn't even go to mass and is now ready to sell his cassette tapes.The Church was fuller because of the circus and park staff who took the opportunity to thank God for their deliverance, as the circus and the park were their lives. Some of them have been in this endeavor with Cláudio for years, leaving family and friends behind.Cláudio himself also participated in the Mass and is now walking down the stairs talking to Aurélio and Rosa."How long will you be here, Mr. Reis?" Rosa asked."Long enough for you to cut 'sir' and call me Claudio."The three laugh."Then you can start calling me Rosa now.""The affection and suppor

RUBENS'S APARTMENT - AFTERNOONThe living room is now strewn with clothes; magazines, books, and CDs in their proper places, the coffee table is clean and shining, the sofa is free from socks and underwear, swept floors, and dust-free curtains. The noise of the washing machine indicates its operation.Rubens is sitting in the armchair wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist because Penha noticed that the black T-shirt and shorts he was wearing were reeking of mold. The guy is ashamed to be naked in front of a lady, but Penha is apparently a woman of fiber.He barely imagines that Penha is loving seeing Ricardo's best friend like that, naturally. And the clothes he wore weren't sooooooo dirty..."And then, you didn't just come to see me without clothes." Rubens teased, "I'm a dead man if he knows that, Penha.""Why are you so concerned about Ricardo?""You are a committed woman, remember that."Penha, indeed, was not in the mood to remember, "He barely talks to me... He barely wa

Chapter 360 The end of a dream
BAKERY CASCAIS - DAYFábio enters the bakery and is amazed by what he sees: Monica prostrated in the chair, finishing crying, with Annie sitting next to her, comforting her and assuring her that she was not a bad friend for Carina. Jonas continues to serve customers, sometimes taking a look at both.Fábio approaches the two girls with concern, “Monica! What happened?”He kneels to her. Monica smiles slightly, touched by his concern, “It’s okay, Fábio. I was worse. I just remembered Carina and the worst step she’s going to take in her life.”“You are thinking about the lunch she has with the damn parents.”Annie explains, “It’s just that Monica is feeling guilty for not preventing Carina from going to that lunch.”Fábio caresses Monica’s hair, “My love, you tried, but Carina needs to make her decision. After all, everyone has to carry their load.”“She is going to suffer, Fábio. At least I asked her to keep an eye on the family. She could take advantage of the fact that she is going to

PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYEverybody took the day to ask Ricardo trick questions. However, he felt it was not the time to answer or lie to the inquirers.He just weaves his classic silly little smile and avoids the subject, “Calm down, Penha, you don’t need to create conspiracy theories. The guy disappears from the bar for three days without giving any satisfaction. I thought he moved out of the neighborhood. I didn’t understand the disappearance.”Penha narrows her eyes, hardly believing what she heard. He kidnaps Wellington and then asks “why did he disappear?”“I hope he disappears. I always thought he was too good for your business. You were in danger of being reported by him.”Penha already knew the truth, since Wellington had told her. She just teased Ricardo, as if she had fun with it. She wanted to see his reaction.Ricardo was more nervous, tense, taking a deep breath, and “counting to three” so as not to reveal himself more than he did at the Malthus snack bar. Not with Penha.“Any

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAurélio is teaching Luís how to properly serve customers. Wellington is sweeping. Nobody notices the window, where Ricardo is looking at the three with dismay.Ricardo goes back a few steps and enters the snack bar even with the “closed” sign on the door. The three men turn their attention to the door opening and closing and are surprised.“Ricardo?” the owner says, “We haven’t opened it yet, but we already have snacks in the showcase.”Ricardo looks with disgust at the snacks, “I don’t want to be a victim of the ‘Salmonella bar’ anymore. What are these two doing here?”Disgusted, Wellington drops the broom and approaches him, “You can ask us, directly. We are here!”Aurélio gestures for Wellington to calm down.Ricardo goes on talking, “And you, Wellington? Are you working here now? Aren’t you going back to the bar? Rubens is waiting for you until now!”Wellington looks at Aurélio in doubt, Aurélio responds affirmatively with a slight nod.“No, Ricardo, I won’

PENHA’S HOUSE - NIGHTPenha is disgusted by Ricardo’s unexpected visit just to ask if she is going to lunch tomorrow. Because she had no intention of going.Even with her clear body language: pouting, arms crossed and one foot hitting the ground, Ricardo does not undo the classic little silly smile.“Did you interrupt my movie... for this?”Ricardo sits in the armchair closest to the coffee table and puts his feet on top. Penha can see from the soles of one of his shoes that Ricardo stepped on ox feces.“Get those dirty feet off my coffee table!”“You haven’t confirmed me yet, sis. The dress that Carina chose is beautiful. Did you choose yours?”“Get outta my house now!”Ricardo threatens to rub his foot with his dirty shoe, showing that he knows the situation of his shoe.“Come on, sis, say yes! A family lunch, with dad and mom...”Penha is about to cry, she is very nervous. She just wants Ricardo to leave, “Please, Ricardo, stop this clowning! I’m not going to show up for lunch to h

PENHA HOUSE - NIGHTAfter Penha and Wellington cancel the lease agreement, the two say goodbye and Wellington leaves. Carlos leaves behind, without saying a single word, just smiled mysteriously at Penha, as if he knew she had just slept with Rubens.Then she takes a forgotten flannel in a corner and begins to try to clean the spilled coffee on the sofa, as it has practically dried, staining the fabric. Rubens, sensing the empty house, leaves the room furious and in long strides.Rubens takes Penha violently by the arm and makes her turn to him. Penha is startled by being taken by surprise and widens her eyes.“Hey, what are you doing?”“What did that kid come to do here?”Penha tries to get rid of Rubens, but he won’t let her go.“Let go of me! He just came to end the lease! He won’t be living in the kitchenette anymore!”“Did you send him to the bar today?”“I was so shocked by his decision that I didn’t even remember!”Rubens squeezes Penha’s arm tighter and she screams more, “You

WELLINGTON KITCHENETTE - DAYCarlos cornered Rosa asking her to explain to everyone how Penha is Ricardo’s sister. She gulps, nervous.Wellington looks at her more deeply than the others.Finally, she decided it was time to end the mysteries. She gets up to explain better, “Yes, people. It’s true. Ricardo is Penha’s younger brother. However, since they moved here and built the building, they have presented themselves as lovers.”“But, why is that disgusting lie?” Everybody notices Wellington’s afflicted and distressing tone.“Because Ricardo believes that by presenting himself as a boyfriend, he prevents other men from flirting and taking Penha to bed.”The girls are embarrassed.Annie blushes and asks, “Doesn’t Penha know how to simply say ‘no’ to the perverts?”“No. She deliberately accepts to sleep with anyone who invites her. She has a boyfriend who is in Europe doing a Master’s or Doctorate and doesn’t even dream that his darling is horning him.”Wellington is very ashamed of him

Chapter 354 Time to revelation
RHODIA AVENUE - AFTERNOONMore people gather to see Célio’s rescue, which hung in the window of Wellington’s kitchenette. Even Aurélio and his clients left the snack bar to see.“Guys, these windows... Who was the idiot who bought these big windows?”Monica, Sandra, and Annie exchange mocking gazes: they all imagined it was Ricardo’s idea with the masons.WELLINGTON’S KITCHENETTECarlos strides in and goes to the window.“Hang in there, boys!”With another strong man, it was easier to pull Célio back safely. When they finally succeed, he can hear the palms and cheers of those present from below. Célio runs to Wellington’s bathroom to throw up, he’s still scared.Wellington and Luís laugh out loud. Carlos then notices the boxes and suitcases, “Hey, what’s going on here?”Wellington stops laughing and announces to Carlos, “Officer, I’m moving out of here. I don’t think is right to live in the place where I have to pay rent for my kidnapper’s girlfriend.”Carlos smiles in understanding,

PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYPenha opens the door for Rubens, who hurries in and looks worried. She closes the door and signals him to sit down.“I was going to offer you coffee, but you need chamomile tea.”“This is no time for jokes, Penha! The situation is getting more complicated.”Penha purses her lips in indifference; everyday things are complicated. She sits in the other armchair, “Every day you live in confusion. You guys don’t seem to want to live in peace. And if I guess, it has to do with Monica and her friends.”Rubens doesn’t like the tone of Penha’s voice and replies harshly, “It has to do with that bastard Wellington who didn’t come to the bar neither Wednesday nor yesterday! What is he thinking?”Penha, on the outside, remains calm and indifferent; but inside, she is overflowing with relief. It was what she wanted most, for Wellington to get out of that snake’s nest, “You’ll see, he found a better job and couldn’t even tell you.”“We paid above the minimum!”Penha is irritated

MIRIAM’S ROOM - DAYMiriam is talking to Fábia Peres. The two got on well again after Sandra’s advice. Cleverly, Miriam leads the conversation to the topic of lawsuits.“Oh, Fábia, you don’t know the worst: I talked to Carlos and he said that he won’t insist on objecting to his fate at the trial. That he will acknowledge that he was wrong and accept the punishment.”Fábia Peres is gaping. Then the officer who always behaved like a warrior, dropping the towel so easily?“What does the officer have in mind, Miriam?”“He said he doesn’t mind losing the case, as long as he can get Ricardo behind bars. He’s gathering proofs and evidence.”“And is Carina going to marry this guy?”“Hopefully, she’ll fall flat on her face when she finds out the whole truth on her honeymoon, with the police invading their suite, ha, ha!”The two girls giggle maliciously.“Girl, on the subject of the trial, I’ve been thinking about something. If the officer is not offended, I can ask my father to pay the compen
