MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYMonica is calmer, sitting at a table, and drinking sugarcane juice. Rosa is sitting on the other side and Aurélio is standing, his big dad worried."Now can you tell me why that crazy blonde was beating you, dear Monica?""Oh, Seu Aurélio, the story is long; it goes back to our childhood. I always liked Fabinho—" she corrects herself, "Fábio... But, he never took me seriously to date. It's that classic 'let's go be friends'."Aurélio becomes mysterious, "I know very well...""Then he met this girl called Fábia Peres who is just blonde hair and a hot body. Of course, he fell in love and wanted to be with her. Since then she has been seeing me as a threat. But I have always respected their courtship, although hurts inside me.""Poor girl..." laments Rosa."When we moved here, things between them started to get worse. No more high school, we started adulthood. Like that movie, ‘St. Elmo's Fire’. Fábia Peres seems to have been stuck in High School because in the rea

DEDÉ BARRicardo is talking with Rubens. The bar is still empty, and they are readying for one more working night."I came to get young Wellington's report. How did he behave?"Rubens is funny, "To wash glasses, he does very well. I want to see him serve customers as a waiter.Ricardo is a joker, "That's right; these young people don't take courses, don't study, and don't pay attention in class... Then high school is over, the break is over, and dad already wants them to do something... Mom doesn't give that allowance anymore, and no longer cleans the room or washes the clothes... The good life ends and they wake up too late for reality.""I'm glad we're not like that, right, buddy?""Of course not, my parents paid me for the best school, the best college, and even though I didn't work in the area where I graduated, I never had a problem facing adult life. I knew that the good life of a teenager was going to end and I prepared myself psychologically. In the meantime we have Luis having

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONFábio and Monica talk about his breakup."Thank you very much for coming here to check on me, Monica."Monica smiles, "Look, something was telling me that I wasn't going to find you in tears, but I wanted to come anyway."Fábio laughs, "Not really! Well, I'm not going to say dramatic things like 'Fábia was the worst mistake of my life' because in a way I liked her.""Yes, you liked her and I never interfered."Fábio takes two steps forward, "Never interfered... But, you never accepted."Monica lowers her head; she doesn't want to be the one who detonates the competitor, "Well, I wanted to keep the respect and distance between you. But it didn't help."Fábio complains, "Never! It was twenty-four hours complaining about something about you. 'Monica said that', 'Monica did that to me', 'Monica thought', 'Monica wants to separate us'. I don't understand why you became a threat to her."Monica speaks compassionately, "Gee, Fábio; it must have been difficult f

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica realizes it's already night and tries to leave, Fábio wants to continue the conversation."Is there a problem, Monica?""It's already night, I have to go home.""That's not it, Monica. I feel like you're nervous. Is this our conversation?""No, Fábio, I already found out what I wanted when I came here."Fábio approaches and gently takes Monica's hand. She gets goosebumps."But, I still haven't figured out what you want with your coming.""What do you want to find out?"Fábio starts to speak romantically, "Monica... Is there any possibility that one day we... Have our story?"Monica looks at him in surprise, "Like... make all the accusations and paranoia of Fábia Peres come true? Fill her with reason, for her to leave the neighborhood saying 'I told you she was going to steal my boyfriend from me'?"Fábio sighs. It won't be easy, "I don't care what Fábia Peres is going to say... She was already complaining when there was nothing between us. Anyway, you

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica opens the door for Carina and Annie, who coincidentally appeared at the same time. The three go to the couch."Girls, I'm glad you came. I have news to tell you."Annie says, "I have it too; it's more like a bomb."Carina is sadder, "I think mine is from Hiroshima."Monica notices their faces, "Oh, people, I’m so embarrassed to tell you what happened to me, nothing dramatic like that!""Then tell me, friend." Annie says, "Maybe it can cheer us up."Monica is all excited, "Well, there you go: Fábio kicked Fábia Peres! He's free!"It did not work."Oh, good for him..." Carina says without emotion, "But, what does that have to do with you?""Monica always had feelings for Fábio." Annie turns to Monica, "But, I don't know, my friend. I would tell you not to rush.""He already wanted and I said to wait. It's risky if later he wants to go back to her and I keep sucking my finger. No, let's take it easy, that's what I said. As seen, my news didn't cheer up,

CÉLIO HOUSE ENTRANCECélio is coming home. He has plastic bags in his hands indicating that he passed through the market. When he is approaching, once again he hears the Axé of the demons in the heights. Célio tries to ignore it and goes to the door of his house. Fábio appears behind him, shirtless, can of beer in hand."Oh, don't come with this call to the officer ‘cause today I have the right to celebrate!"Célio turns to him, hatred in his eyes, "Every day you want to celebrate. Look, I wonder how long your parents are going to keep this little king of yours. Fábia Peres will love it when the fountain dries up because if it depends on her, the two will go under the bridge.""Fábia Peres no longer has to worry about the future of my income. We are done!"Célio reacts to the novelty, surprised, "Is that the reason for the celebration? So you didn't really love her?""Of course I loved her, but she didn't appreciate that love. I wanted to go further, I even said about engagement, but s

CÉLIO HOUSE ENTRANCE - NIGHTCélio collects the bags that fell to the floor. Fábio laughs at his shock."Wow, man, were you in shock? Did you think that Monica didn't put up with me? The problem is that I chose Fábia Peres, now I intend to correct this mistake.""The only mistake I'm seeing here is just the two of you being together!""And by the way, have you declared yourself, clearly stated that you love her and want to date her?"Célio is quiet.Fábio goes on, "Of course not. You're always shy or proud. Because when you talk about it, you put your plans ahead of her.""I need to wait for the right moment!""Will Monica wait?""What do you mean by that?""Will Monica ever see you as a man she should trust? Will she be quiet waiting for you to quench your thirst to conquer the world? Until now, you only know how to pretend to be the mayor's secretary. I think not...""This is going to be her decision."Fábio smiles confidently, "I think she already decided by the time she came to my
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 82 I can't date you, Monica (2)
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM Célio and Monica argue about Fábio. "No, Monica, you can't be serious. You can't date Fábio." "And why not, can I know?" Célio is vehement, "It's because you were born to get better man!" "And where is this better man that I can't see?" Célio doesn't dare to advertise himself, "Somewhere he is there. You have not forgotten Fábio even after everything he has done to you and now creep upon him at the first opportunity; you hardly expected the previous courtship to cool down completely." "Hey, didn't he tell you that we haven't decided on anything yet?" "He said you left the door open." Monica nods, "Exactly. He wanted to, but I told him to only look for me when he is sure he doesn't feel anything for Fábia Peres anymore." "Great! Next week he misses the blonde with the big guitar body and accepts her back, even with the stupidity." Monica shakes her head, "You never liked him, did you, Célio?" "I am not obliged to get along with any male, huh!" Monica sn

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
