Helena and Leandro stepped off the bustling sidewalk and entered the car, a sense of anticipation in the air. The streets of São Paulo were bustling, cars rushed by, and pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks. Helena looked at Leandro, a nervous smile playing on her lips as he adjusted his seatbelt."Ready to hit the pedals?" Leandro asked with evident enthusiasm in his voice.Helena nodded, albeit a bit uncertain. "Yes."The car's engine purred softly as they pulled onto the road. Helena watched the urban landscape pass by the window, skyscrapers and colorful buildings interspersed with trees and urban parks. The day was clear, with a vibrant blue sky, and the city's hustle and bustle seemed distant from the tranquility she sought.After driving through the busy streets for a while, they finally arrived at the specialized cycling store. The exterior was adorned with bicycles of different styles and colors, and the atmosphere was filled with energy and excitement. Leandro parked the

Weeks had passed, but upon seeing Bruno standing in front of her, the sensation was as if it were yesterday. Her heart involuntarily raced, and Helena had to make an effort not to show the surprise and emotion she felt. Those familiar eyes, that smile that used to brighten her days, everything was there before her.Leandro looked from Helena to Bruno, clearly confused by the situation. He stood up, his demeanor shifting from confidence to uncertainty. Helena felt her stomach tighten, her mind spinning to comprehend what was happening. Helena's ex-fiancé, sensing the tension in the air, stood up and cleared his throat gently, bringing Helena's attention back to reality.

Helena returned with her head down, her mind swirling around the enigma that the package represented. She stared at the printed address on the package, and a chill ran down her spine when she realized it was her home address, not the office address she had planned. A wave of confusion engulfed her, her memories colliding with what lay before her. She was sure she had put the office address, and she hadn't mailed the package because she had met Leandro that day. A mixture of despair and restlessness grew within her.An idea began to form in her mind, an idea that seemed absurd at first but gained strength with each passing second. Maybe Leandro had found the package and, in an attempt to help her or even protect her, had returned it in her place.

Anger took over her gaze, mixing with confusion and a sense of betrayal.Without thinking twice, Helena headed toward Leandro, who was leaning agains

The soft twilight light bathed the interior of the vehicle, illuminating Bruno's face as he sat by the window, lost in his own thoughts.While he observed the vegetation-covered mountains, Bruno tried to align his mind and heart. The internal conflict that had consumed him since he left Helena was an unrelenting storm, a battle between his rational decisions and his deepest desires. The wind whispered against the glass as if attempting to bring him some consolation or answers.He clutched the bus ticket in his hands, feeling the crumpled paper between his fingers. With a sigh, he took a pen from his backpack and began scribbling on the back, listing the pros and cons of his decision.

The sky was still draped in dark shades of the night when Bruno opened the door of the sports equipment store, Nilton's Bike. It was a new day, but for Bruno, it seemed to carry the weight of the choices he had made. He wanted to lose himself in his work, immerse himself in every task that needed to be done, a way to find focus and purpose amidst the confusing emotions that plagued him.He began cleaning the store, organizing shelves, checking stocks, and ensuring everything was perfect for another day of business. The occupation gave him a sense of normalcy, a feeling of control over something in his life that he felt he had lost.Nearly two hours later, his friends and coworkers, Gabriel, Lucas, and Jonathan, arrived at the store.

On the beach's edge, the gentle breeze and the sound of waves created an atmosphere of tranquility as Gabriel, Lucas, and Jonathan conversed. The concerned glances exchanged between them revealed that Bruno's situation was weighing on their hearts.Jonathan looked at his friends and sighed. "We need to do something about this, guys. I've never seen Bruno so down."Gabriel nodded, agreeing with his friend. "It's true. He's going through a tough time."Lucas nodded, his brows furrowing in agreement. "I agree. He's shutting himself off, and that's not good."Gabriel furrowed his brow, lost in thought. "But what can we do? Bruno clearly said it was his choice not to be with Helena, and she also seems to have accepted it."Jonathan pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "I get his point, but what he didn't tell Helena is about the prophecy. If she knew about that, I think their decision might have been different."The other two friends turned to him, surprised. Lucas tilted

Helena stared at Bruno's friends, trying to grasp the meaning behind Lucas's words. Her heart raced as questions piled up in her mind. Bruno didn't stay with her because he was going to die? The idea seemed absurd, but there was something in the seriousness of the three guys' eyes that made her question even more. How could Bruno be so sure about this? And what was the meaning behind this prophecy? The questions multiplied, and Helena was determined to uncover the answers.Sensing Helena's discomfort, Lúcia suggested they go to a nearby bar for a more relaxed conversation. The five friends walked to the place in silence, their expressions reflecting the seriousness of the matter at hand. When they arrived, Helena looked at the three guys and finally broke the silence."Okay, can someone explain what's going on? Why are you talking about prophecies and death? This doesn't make any sense."Pedro sighed and turned to Helena, determined to tell the whole story. "Some time ago, we crossed
