Loreta looked into Helena's eyes and said sweetly, "His name is Nilton... Nilton is the love of my life... Or Bruno? Who is Bruno? I think it's Bruno..."Helena approached and held Loreta's hand, trying to calm her. She said affectionately, "Loreta, today is not your graduation ball. Today is a special day for Bruno, your son. He's graduating from college."Loreta looked confused at Helena for a moment and then seemed to come back to reality. Her eyes filled with sadness as she murmured, "My son... my dear Bruno."Helena gently embraced her and said, "Yes, your son is growing up and becoming an incredible man.

Bruno wasted no time addressing the elephant in the room. “Suzana, you shouldn't be here. In case you conveniently forgot, we broke up when you moved to Rio de Janeiro.”Suzana frowned, her voice defensive. “We argued, Bruno.

"I don't want the day to break, Bruno. I want to stay here with you forever."He kissed the top of her head and caressed her hair. "I do too, Helena."They remained there in silence, sharing those precious moments as the morning advanced. Finally, the sun began to rise on the horizon, casting its golden rays into the room.Bruno sighed reluctantly and said, "We need to get up, Helena. The day has begun."She nodded, still lying in his arms. Reluctant

She couldn't hold back the tears streaming down her face as she thought about Bruno. She lay on the living room couch, her eyes swollen from crying.Lucia, her longtime friend, sat down beside her and started stroking her hair. “I know you're hurting, Helena. But remember, this decision is the best for both of you.”Helena sobbed and looked at Lucia. “I know, Lucia, but it doesn't make it any easier. I love him so much, and now we're apart.”Lucia sighed and hugged Helena tightly. “Sometimes, making tough decisions is the right thing to do, even if it hurts. You need to give yourself time to heal. And remember, I'm here for you, always.”The two frien
