The farm atmosphere was imbued with the aura of happiness that lingered over the newlyweds, Antônio and Melissa. After the cake cutting and warm farewells, the couple set off for their honeymoon, taking along their adorable daughter, little Sofia. As the guests dispersed slowly, Bruno's family nucleus remained together, including Dante, Isabel, and Emanoel.
Helena, regarding Bruno with a gentle expression of nostalgia, remarked on the party. “It was a wonderful celebration,” she said, her gaze lost amidst the memories the event had stirred.
Bruno agreed, a tender smile crossing his face.
“Yes, it truly was,” he concurred, his eyes meeting Helena's in a meaningful glance.
Their daughter, Isabel, interrupted the moment with an innocent question.
“Why don't you and Leandro stay here at the farm? It's already late, and I'm sure Dad wouldn't mind,” she asked, looking at Helena with curiosity.

Bruno stood on the doorstep, perplexed by the sudden appearance of the mysterious woman. He furrowed his brow, trying to understand how she knew where he lived and what she was doing there.“How do you know where I live? And what are you doing here?” he asked, his voice sounding cautious.The woman smiled enigmatically, her lips painted red curving into an intriguing smile.“Oh, Bruno, always so direct,” she said, her voice soft and melodious. “You told the investigator to send me to you. The gypsy you've been searching for so long, the one who has the answers you seek.”Bruno became even more confused by the woman's enigmatic words. He took two steps out of the house, approaching her cautiously. His eyes ran over the woman's exotic attire, her sparkling jewels catching the sunlight.“I don't understand,” he admitted, his expression a mix of curiosity and suspicion. “What do you mean by answers?

Bruno nodded, vividly recalling the sleepless nights and the anguish that had haunted him since the gypsy's words became reality. He knew that his choices had been motivated by fear of the unknown, but now he realized that he could no longer escape his destiny.Bruno looked into the gypsy's piercing eyes and nodded.“Yes, that was one of the things I thought,” he admitted. “I thought I could escape what was destined to happen.”The gypsy shook her head, her dark hair dancing in the wind.“Destiny doesn't work that way, Bruno,” she said, her voice calm and firm. “You cannot run from what is written in the stars.”“I thought I had free will to choose my path,” Bruno continued, his voice wavering. “But now I see that maybe it was just an illusion.”The gypsy looked at Bruno seriously. “Free will exists,” she said. “But feelings are what guide our choices,

In the quiet kitchen, Bruno moved with the familiarity of one who masters the environment, preparing breakfast before his children awakened to face the new day. As Bruno finished brewing the coffee, the soft sound of footsteps approaching caught his attention. In an instant, his daughter Isabel appeared in the kitchen doorway, her presence radiating a youthful and infectious energy. Isabel regarded Bruno with a radiant smile, revealing the joy of seeing him again. “I've been missing the smell of your coffee so much,” she confessed, expressing her appreciation for the morning routine with her father.

She lifted her eyes from the computer and greeted them with a warm smile, feeling her heart warmed by their presence. “Good to see you both!” exclaimed Helena, rising from her chair and going to meet her children. “I missed you.” Emanoel, with his warm embrace, almost lifted Helena off the ground, expressing his affection exuberantly. “Mom, we missed you yesterday!” he said with a smile. “Especially to finish eating the party food.” Helena laughed, feeling light-hearted with her son's contagious energy. “I wish I could have stayed longer,” she confessed. “But Leandro thought it's best for us to come back early to rest.” “Leandro also mentioned that you would be taking care of the wedding papers today,” she added, her tone filled with anticipation.

Helena walked through the bustling streets of São Paulo, lost in her thoughts as she searched for the perfect dress for her courthouse wedding. Although it wasn't a traditional ceremony, Helena wanted to find something special to mark the significant moment in her life. However, she was determined to avoid white, a color associated with purity and youth, something she had left behind long ago. After all, at fifty years old, Helena was no longer a young innocent, but a mature woman who knew what she wanted. Entering the tenth store on that busy street, Helena felt a mixture of hope and anxiety. She rummaged through the racks in search of the perfect dress, examining every detail carefully while trying to visualize how she would feel in each model.

Helena was lying on her bed, her gaze fixed on the ceiling as a flood of thoughts swirled through her mind. She hadn't been able to sleep all night, consumed by the anguish and sadness that Leandro's news had brought. Selling the apartment and planning a sudden move to Paris, without even consulting Helena, was a betrayal that cut deep. Her feelings were a whirlwind of anger, disappointment, and confusion. How could Leandro do something like this to her, especially on the eve of their wedding? Helena felt lost, unsure of how to deal with this sudden turn in her life. It was then that Isabel, her daughter, entered the room, interrupting her thoughts. Helena tried to force a smile when she saw her, but she knew she couldn't hide her agony so easily. Isabel looked at Helena with evident concern in her eyes, asking if her mother was sick. “Are you sick, Mom?” Isabel asked, her voice filled with concern.

Helena was standing in front of the mirror in her room, observing herself with a mixture of anxiety and resignation in her gaze. The light blue dress she had chosen for her registry office wedding with Leandro seemed heavier than she had imagined. She smoothed the folds of the flared fabric as she tried to convince herself that she was making the right choice. The door to the room opened gently, and Emanoel entered, wearing an expression of admiration on his face. His eyes, so much like those of his father, Bruno, conveyed a mix of pride and tenderness as he watched his mother. “You look beautiful, Mom,” Emanoel said, his voice laden with sincerity. Helena lifted her gaze to meet her son's eyes, feeling touched by his words. “Thank you, my dear,” she replied, her voice choked with emotion. “It means a lot to me to hear that from you.” Emanoel smiled, his expression radiant. “I'm glad to be a part of this moment with you,” he said, his voice brimming with joy. “And about Paris... i
