Bruno was seated in the passenger seat, gazing out the car window as Dante drove through the bustling streets of São Paulo towards their apartment. The night was calm, but Bruno was lost in his own thoughts. Dante broke the silence, bringing up the event that had occurred earlier that night.
“The celebration dinner was great, wasn't it, Dad?” he asked, casting a quick glance at Bruno.
Bruno nodded, momentarily distracted from his thoughts.
“Yeah, it was,” he agreed. “It was a special night for Antônio and Emanoel.”
Dante nodded, focusing on the road again. After a moment of silence, he decided to address a topic that had clearly been weighing on Bruno's mind.
“About Leandro's proposal to marry Helena... it was unexpected, wasn't it?”
Bruno sighed, pondering Dante's question.
“It... was unexpected, for sure,” murmured Bruno, choosing his words carefully. “Bu

Helena was sitting on the living room couch, gazing at the engagement ring that sparkled on her finger. Beside her, Leandro was also lost in his own thoughts, lost in contemplation. They had been together for years, since Leandro's proposal on the emotional night of Antônio and Emanoel's graduation. However, the wedding date had not yet been set.The postponement of the wedding was not due to lack of desire or love between them, but rather due to a series of unexpected events that had arisen.

So, Helena and Leandro decided to postpone the ceremony, so Isabel could attend.Months passed, and when Isabel finally returned, she brought with her a surprise: the news that Antônio, Helena and Bruno's eldest son, was expecting a child.

Finally, Bruno's familiar voice echoed from the other end of the line.“Hello?&rd
