Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 283 Making amends
CASSIO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTThere is a knock at Cassio's door. He emerges from the room in shorts and without a shirt, drying his hair with a towel; he just got out of the shower. When he opens the door, it's Jonas on the other side. Cassio is slightly surprised."Jonas! Come in, buddy. How are you doing in the morning?"Jonas comes in with a slight smile, "Very well, Cassio. What about your job?"Cassio closes the door and puts the towel on his shoulders, gesturing for Jonas to sit in the armchair while he sits in another."Everyone asks me that like I'm in an important job. Well, I'm just a packer of goods. People shop and I put the products in plastic bags and say 'thanks for the preference'. That's it.""I am very happy that you have joined those who work honestly."Cassio lumps in his throat. Does he know about Wellington and Luís?"However," Jonas continues, "I came here to thank you for the effort.""For the effort?""Yes, for the effort to strengthen our bonds of friendship.

MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - DAYMiriam is concerned about accepting more help from Fábia Peres, this time the lawyer for her family to defend her."Miriam, please do not refuse my help. We have become friends and partners. I am revolted to hear Monica say those things so calmly. It seems that they are already counting on victory. And you have not told me anything. Do you think about dropping the towel?"Miriam goes to the dresser drawer and opens it. She takes out the ill-fated manila envelope, holds it as if the paper is contaminated, and hands it to Fábia. Fábia Peres takes the envelope, takes the sheets out, and reads the subpoena."Cardozo Lawyers. Wait, I know this firm."Miriam sighs desperately, "All the rich know it. Do you see my despair? I know these guys do everything they can to win. And the worst thing is that apparently, I have nothing in my favor.""What exactly did you do?"Miriam sits on the bed next to Fábia, "I, in an attack of jealousy, invaded Carina's studio and caught he

CARINA STUDIO - DAYFábio pretends not to understand Carina's nervousness when she drops the brush on the floor, mentioning Ricardo as if they were not boyfriends."Did something happen, Carina?" He bends over and picks up the brush for her, "You suddenly went pale."Carina tries to compose herself, picks up the brush, and goes back to work."Sometimes I have these constant drops in blood pressure. I feel that no man will want me as a wife. No one wants a woman so fragile and feminine."Fábio holds his tongue in time not to speak nonsense! The truth is: he would like Monica to be calmer and more virtuous like Carina and Annie. This is the injustice of the world. Wonderful women like Carina and Annie always fall into the hands of bastards like Ricardo and Jonas. Why?"But, thanks anyway for the offer, Fábio." The painter continued, "I will think about the possibility.""Think about it. I'm going to leave the door open. If you need to, we are willing. Now, excuse me, I've already distur
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 286 Begging to the Queen Monica
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica opens the door and accepts Fábio's visit. The printer is working, printing the last pages of her book."Hello, sweetheart," Fábio gives Monica a quick kiss, noting the printer, "So, is the second novel over?""Already!" Monica is thrilled, "Now I'm going to read, make notes, find some errors that I missed, and then print everything again. I think I'll have to stop by the stationery to buy more sheets."Fábio makes a huff as he remembers the stationery, "Remember to warn Rosa that she won’t have a copy. No one, not even me, will read this second book. I already told you that it makes no sense for everyone to read your book before it’s released. They will have to pay. No more working for free."Monica laughs but agrees with Fábio, "So, love, I've been thinking... After all, this confusion has passed, involving Carina's lawsuit against Miriam, I intend to launch my first novel, even if it’s only in our reign. For me to have at least a few bucks.""

GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONWellington and Luís catch Ed, listening to their conversation behind a tree. But Ed swears he was just riding a bike. Is it true?Wellington and Luís do not believe even under some decree. Wellington strides up to Ed and pulls him by the ear.Ed cries out in pain, "OUCH, AHH! Let me go, you're hurting me!"Wellington replies in a fierce tone, "It's supposed to hurt you, you unbearable brat! What a habit of listening to conversations, you've been doing this since you were born! Don't fool me with this bicycle talk!"Ed starts to cry and Luís starts to worry."Well, drop it, that's enough. He won't repeat that.""Stop, I was walking by chance—"Wellington lets go of Ed's ear but gives him such a strong jerk that Ed falls to the floor with a bicycle and everything."You attackers! I will tell everything—"Wellington threatens him with clenched fists, "Go on, tell someone, and we'll spread it to everyone how you get the news! Get out of here, kid, disappear!"Ed,

CARINA'S STUDIO - AFTERNOONCarina and Ed enter the studio. The boy's mouth is open with Carina's already ready paintings. The picture of the woman who represents her is already ready."Wow! What a beautiful self-portrait, Carina!"Carina starts laughing. EVERYBODY thinks it's her, "I'm glad you liked it, Ed. Now, wait a moment."Carina leaves and then comes back with a tray of cups of coffee and homemade cookies. She puts it in a dresser in the corner, "Pour yourself, Ed. I made them yesterday."Ed serves himself, he's more relaxed. Carina continues to examine him with her eyes and continues without finding any serious injury to justify that desperate cry.Time to ask, "Ed, I'm sorry to insist on this, but I was very worried. Do you want to talk to me about what made you fall and cry? You weren't crying for the fall."Ed is ashamed and replies with his head down, "I'm gay, Carina. I'm fifteen on my back, my dad taught me that a man doesn't cry, but there I was crying like a little si

CASA BRANCA HOSPITAL - NIGHTAurélio is being met by a doctor. Sitting on a stretcher, he has already had neurological examinations and some tests to know what was that piercing and sudden head pain."Mr. Malthus," the doctor says, after reading the report, "you can rest easy. There was no evidence of stroke or ischemia in your brain."Aurélio sighs with relief. He smiled, "Good news, doctor.""Yes. However, I advise you to keep an eye on your blood pressure, which can contribute to the complication and eventual fate. According to the story told by you, it was the strong emotion of the moment that resulted in this imbalance."Aurélio agrees with the head. And even more that Annie has signaled that she cares about him, he will relax. He needs.The doctor goes on, "You are still 42, but it’s good to keep an eye out. I will prescribe some medicine and then you can go home.""Thank you, Doctor.""You're welcome. Excuse me."The doctor leaves to see other patients. Aurelio looks up, thanki

CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCélio and Cássio still do not trust that Ed can withstand confusion."I'm sorry, Ed." Célio shakes his head in denial, "We won’t tell you. The matter is very dangerous, and despite your father's opinion, we cannot leave you in a risky situation."Ed reacts disgusted and disappointed, "You mean I was almost beaten up for nothing? To be unaware?"Cassio intervenes quickly, "Ed, I don't think Wellington wanted to beat you with pure evil. I think he just wanted to scare you, because the subject, really, is not for you.""Ed, enjoy that you are still young and have fun with your friends, play video games, go and eat the cheesecake at Aurélio's snack bar... Avoid problems, please.""If you are affected by this, man," Cassio warned in a kind and compassionate tone, "we will never forgive ourselves."However, Ed doesn't want to know. His curiosity above all.He gets up and exclaims out loud, rebellious, "Well, I don't want to care about me! When you are 50 years o

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

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
