MONICA ROOM - NIGHTCélio and Monica are each on a sofa, analyzing the two printers' budgets with glasses of juice on the coffee table. Célio momentarily looks up at Monica's table. He sees the printed sheets of the second book."And how's the second book going?""It's going well, despite the interruptions.""Interruptions like mine?"Monica is quick to answer, "No, Célio! It's not that, it's other things that cause me the famous writer's block.""Can you tell me what they are?"Monica leans back on the sofa, looking away. In her mind, she hears Fábio's voice speaking his last sentence."I thought you were different. Smart, with content, mature... But, now I see that it's all a facade. If you are also an intriguing stand, then it doesn't matter if I stay with Fábia Peres. At least she trusts me and loves me".Célio cuts off her reverie by speaking louder, "Monica!""Sorry, Célio, I was remembering.""I'm here to hear you.""It was Fábio. He came to my house this morning to say that he

MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCélio asked Monica if she still feels something for Fábio.She looks at him and reflects before answering, "Célio, you know that in the past we had... feelings."Célio responds dryly, "Feeling is not a relationship.""I know, I know... is that—" She gets up, "Every woman who gets involved with a man, has hopes... Unless she is completely disembarrassed, not to say anything else."Célio holds a laugh, "Do you, Monica, have hope with Fábio Dance?"Monica cast him a cold stare, "No judgment, Célio."Célio regrets, "Sorry, Monica.""It turns out that I cried more for what he said to me than for the fact that he says that he has already thought about the possibility of leaving Fábia Peres.""If he really valued you, he knew how cool you are... He would have done that already. Fábia Peres is just blond hair and a hot body, for God!""Yeah, you're right. So, that was it. I started a silly argument and now I'm like the villain in the story.""It's a story without f

RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATIONMiriam enters the arena where Annie, Cássio, Célio, Carina, and Tito are already talking about the campaign.Célio begins, "Monica went to take the budget and is already coming back.""I hope Aurélio accepts it," Cassio says."Can you imagine," Annie says, "If it gets expensive for him and we have to depend on Ricardo?"Carina shakes and pales at the thought, "Don't even mention it as a joke, friend."Cássio frowns, "Hey, Carina, I don't understand why you stayed late watching over that jerk.""Charge of conscience, Cassio, he took the bottle hit because of me."Célio reacts bitterly, "This guy was chasing you, Carina."Carina turns to him wide-eyed, "Really, Célio?"Célio explains, "No offense because you are beautiful and he must be glazed."Miriam decides to end the party, "Hello, good day!"Tito rejoices in her presence, "Now look! We have more volunteers!"Miriam gets shocked and tilts her head, "Volunteers? Is no one here being paid?"Everyone laugh.Annie

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY Monica enters. Rosa is at her post, reading. Monica approaches the counter and notices the book without a cover. She realizes it’s her copied book. Rosa, when she sees who she is, gets scared. "Oh, Monica, I... I'm sorry." Monica speaks not with anger, "Are you sorry for what?" "I copied your book to read." "Was that when Aurélio came here to make the copy for the register of Royal Hill? "That's right. He was very worried about you, dear! You didn't think about that possibility?" Monica giggles, "If I thought about a bad character stealing my book? No, I didn't think. You can tell how very newbie I am with this. Aurélio even told me about an international certificate." "ISBN. Run after that too, dear." "At the moment, while it's not released... I'll want one more ream, please." "Wow, the second book is coming soon!" "That's right!" Rosa walks away to pick up the ream. In the meantime, Fábia Peres enters. When she sees Monica, the mood closes. Fábia c

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - AFTERNOONMiriam was talking to Sandra about the early morning meeting, "The naughty was talking about taking pictures with Carlos, and of course, I cut her off!""Did he show up there?""No. I offered to take the pictures so vehemently that she gulped quietly.""Are you going to take it off?""Of course I am. I'll tell him to do each sexy pose..." drooling, "And maybe some pictures of him without a shirt, then just shorts, then underwear, and then nak—"Aurélio arrives at that moment, "What are you going to want, ladies?"Sandra replies, "Shrimp pie. Cassio complained; I want to see if it's as bad as he said.""Either he has an intolerance to seafood, or it was the fact that he ate three with two cups of cane juice."Aurélio walks away.Sandra continues in a confidential tone, "Girl, we need to be more discreet. This man here is very friendly with the group. If he hears something—""Why would he be interested in my pictures of the Chief? When he falls in love with

GRANJA SQUARE - EVENINGLuis does not want to go into details with Célio and Cássio about his job. Wellington looks at him waiting for what he will say."No, people, unfortunately, there are no vacancies.""You talk as if it was a company," Célio says.Luís explains rather quickly, "It was a friend, one of my neighbors, who helped me.""Ah, I thought it was a nice, rich guy who was financing you." Cássio says, "Because that tent couldn't have come out of your pocket.""It seems that my friend already had the tent and gave it to me. It's not new."Wellington sees that Luis wants to leave, but his friends don't let go and insist on asking for more. He helps, "Good to know, buddy. One of these times, we'll call you for a ball match."Luis jokes, "I'll see some free time on my schedule."Friends laugh and pat lightly on Luis's back. He smiles back and walks away, relieved by the explanation given.MALTHUS SNACK BARAnnie and Jonas enter. She is excited, he is frowning. The two go to the co

CASCAIS BAKERYThe bakery is already closed and some of the lights are out. Even so, Jonas and Annie are having a snack sitting at one of the tables. Jonas is serious, determined to tell his girlfriend the whole truth, and too desperate to make her forget the owner of the snack bar.Annie asks him, "Jon, did I feel a certain animosity between you and Seu Aurélio, or was it my impression?""It wasn't your impression, honey. I'm pissed at him for a reason. And it's just about something you like, something you are involved in and are counting on him.""Is anything recent? I imagine it's about the police station campaign.""Yes, my love. He promised to pay for the print shop's order to produce cool and appropriate posters, right?"Annie smiles, "That. Seu Aurélio is a love.""He shouldn't promise what he can't keep."Annie was going to drink chocolate milk through the straw, but she is surprised by the information, with her arm stopped in the air, "How is it?""I saw him today at the Lotte
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 59 Aurélio's determination (1)
Annie reacts extremely shocked by Jonas. "Divorced?""Yes, dear, Malthus has such optimism for life, always in a good mood... And I admit with no homo that he must have been handsome when he was younger. He must have dated someone. He must have married or at least betrothed someone. But, with this way of him making promises that he cannot keep, even if it was with the good intention of helping... That one time tires the person, especially a woman who will depend on her entire future in the hands of an unstable man!"Tears start to flow from Annie's face, "He told me... The night we were at the pizzeria... He was engaged, more than once, but never got married. It's something like 'having a rotten finger' for the altar."Jonas smiles victoriously, it confirms his thesis.FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMCélio accuses Fábio of lying to both Fábia Peres and Monica.Fábio gets outraged, "How dare you launch such an abject accusation on me?"Célio becomes a mocker, "Oh, the English lord was offended...

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

Chapter 352 More pieces of evidence
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
