Transcripts:

Hello, fellow romantics. I’ve brought  another beautiful film for you. And  this one is definitely one to watch  while hugging your pillow, you know? He  was one of the richest men in Mexico  and the doctors said he had a few  months to live. She was hired to keep  him company until the end. Oh, and for  those who don’t know me, I’m Bia,  and here I bring you the most beautiful  romance films you’ll ever see.

Leave  your like. Subscribe to the channel and  come with me, because this story will  touch your heart. The day dies slowly.  over the >> those of the night. Sir, your mother  called three times, she said she’s  coming on Sunday and won’t accept any  more excuses. >> Tell her I’m sleeping. Tell her that  on Sunday, too.

Anything else, Carmen?  Mr. Otávio sent word that the lady  from the agency is coming tomorrow at 9 . >> What lady? >> The companion. You signed the papers  last week. I signed them so he would  stop talking about it, not so someone  would show up here. Everything waits  when it goes. You send go tomorrow.  What could happen? Sometimes hope  arrives without warning.

I say I have  no luck. You say >> You said you were going to check the  ads I sent. >> I checked, they all ask for experience,  a degree, or a car. I have half a  degree and a bus that’s always late.  This one doesn’t ask for any of that. A  patient on a farm in Tepotzotlán, they  want someone to keep him company, help  with his routine. Look at the salary.

>> That’s per month. >> Per month? 6-month contract. >> No one pays that for someone to keep  them company. Either the patient bites,  or the ad is a scam. >> Or the patient is rich enough not to  know how much things cost. Mr. Paredes  gave us until the end of the month and  Mateus needs new glasses.

He pretends  he can see the board, but I know he  can’t. >> Then go tomorrow. If the man bites, you  bite back. It says here you worked at a  flower shop, a diner, and a nursing  home. Why did you leave the nursing  home? >> Because the director wanted me to leave  the elderly in front of the TV all day  so they wouldn’t be any trouble.

I took  them out to the patio. She called that  insubordination. >> I’ll be honest with you, Lucia. My  brother had cancer last year. The  cancer is gone. The doctors said months , but the chemotherapy weakened his  heart. The doctors spoke of months.  Since then, he has locked himself in  here. Ravorante. >> And what do you expect me to do? So he  doesn’t spend these months alone.

He  fired two nurses. One cried every time  she looked at him. The other talked to  him like he was 5 years old. So you’re  the one, >> Lucia Morais. Good morning. >> Otávio must have told you the sad  version. I’ll tell you the real one.  I don’t need anyone. My brother needs  to feel useful.

And I’m paying so he  stops feeling guilty. Do you know what  I have? >> I know you are sick. Nobody told me  anything more than that. >> And yet you didn’t look away from my  head. People usually look away. You  entered the room and waited for me to  look away. I thought it would be rude  to disappoint you. >> Why do you want this job? >> Because it pays well and I need the  money.

If I said it was a calling,  you’d know it was a lie. >> Six months. You live here from Monday  to Saturday. Don’t touch my things,  don’t talk to my mother about me, and  don’t try to save me. Understood?  Understood. The first two. >> That was a yes. Four plates in one hand , five in the a smile for the child and  another night that the bus arrives late , the rent arrives first.

I start on  Monday, I sleep there during the week,  I come back on Sunday. He is very rich,  the helicopter-rich kind, >> rich enough to have a garden fountain  that hasn’t been turned on in years. >> Sweetie, a rich, sick man, alone in a  huge house. I don’t like it. Are you  going to sleep there, >> Mom? He can barely climb a staircase  and he looked at me like someone  looking at furniture that doesn’t match  the room.

Believe me, I’m in no danger  whatsoever. >> That’s not the danger I’m talking  about. >> With the first paycheck, we pay Mr.  Paredes. With the second, Mateus’s  glasses. With the third, maybe I’ll go  back to paying for college. Your father  used to say you treated every wilted  plant as if it were your fault. Just  don’t do that with people.

You closed  all the windows. >> Close that now. Let the world in. Your  eyes will get used to it in a minute.  Mine took two to find the table. >> You clearly didn’t understand your job.  You were hired to take care of me. I  wasn’t hired to stop you from dying of  boredom. >> Your brother was very clear. >> I have a routine, Miss Morais.

I wake  up at 10, have coffee here, read  company reports. At dusk, I go to the  terrace. I don’t need anyone to invent  another one. >> Do you read reports for a company you  say you’re leaving in a few months? I  read them to ensure it keeps running  when I’m gone. >> So, today you’ll be reading in the  garden.

The reports won’t notice the  difference. I don’t know if it’s fear. >> No, he hasn’t eaten here since his  father died. And it’s been almost a  year since he’s eaten well anywhere.  He sends the tray back untouched. Maybe  it’s because no one has sat with him.  His mother tried, his ex-wife tried  before she left. He’s not a man  who’s easily convinced, dear.

>> You’re eating in my dining room. >> Carmen made tortilla soup. It was  getting cold in the kitchen and that  would be a sin. Hmm. For someone  manipulation with soup in the nursing  home was with pudding. It works better  with old people. So it’s true. Otavio  hired a girl. >> Good morning, Mother.

Today is Thursday , not Sunday. >> I come when I want to see my son. And  you are >> Lucia Morais. Ma’am. And what are you ? Nurse, physical therapist,  psychologist? Just a companion, ma’am.  Just a companion, ma’am. >> A companion. A pretty girl, no  qualifications, hired to keep a sick,  rich man company.

You must understand  why that worries me. >> Please, don’t start. >> I’m just saying what everyone will  think, Alexandre. Someone in this  family needs to think. You can think  whatever you want, but he ate two  spoonfuls of soup. And Carmen told me  that hadn’t happened in months. So, if  you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get the  bread. Two spoonfuls.

You humiliated my  mother in front of me. I answered your  mother. That’s different. Humiliation  is what she did to me. >> She is worried. She’s spent her whole  life watching people approach me for  money. My ex-wife, for example, waited  for the first chemo cycle to realize  she wasn’t born to be a caregiver. >> I’m sorry.

>> Don’t be. It was the most honest thing  she did in 7 years of marriage. But  that doesn’t change anything. You’re  fired. >> All right. Then fire me tomorrow. Today  I’m still busy. I can walk. No, I’m  still rotten. >> Yes, you can walk to the end of the  hall. The garden is bigger than the  hall. They’re ugly. It’s different.

>> These rosebushes have been dead for two  years. >> They’re ugly and dried out. See? Dead  things don’t do that. >> We’ll try again tomorrow. >> You speak of tomorrow as if it were a  guaranteed thing. It’s not guaranteed  for anyone, but I don’t see anyone  locking themselves in their room  because of that.

>> You don’t sleep? >> I sleep two hours a night, sometimes  three, if my heart cooperates. Lying  down, I can feel it beating wrong.  Sitting up, I can pretend it doesn’t. >> My mother makes orange blossom tea when  someone can’t sleep. It doesn’t  solve anything, but it smells good. >> Did Otávio tell you about the cancer? >> He told me you were cured.

>> I was cured. Lymphoma. Stage 3. Six  cycles of chemotherapy. The doctors  celebrated. My mother had a mass held.  I went back to the office in a horrible  wig. Three months later, I fainted in a  meeting. The medicine that killed the  cancer hurt my heart, one in a thousand  patients.

I won the lottery twice in  the same year. >> And your hair never came back? >> It started to come back. After the  fainting, it stopped. It all fell out  again. The doctors said it was my body  choosing what to save. Apparently, I  wasn’t a priority, not even to myself. >> What is that notebook you take to the  terrace? >> The first cardiologist gave me six  months. I do the math. Every day.

Before the sun sets, I cross out a  number. It’s the only thing I still  control. >> And how many are left? >> 84. 84 days is a long time to spend  locked in a dark room. >> And what do you suggest? >> That you drink the tea. We’ll see  about the rest tomorrow. How long has  it been? That’s none of your business .

>> How long, Alexandre? Since they gave me  six months. If I’m going to die  anyway, I’d rather not spend the time  I have left nauseous, dizzy, and  dependent on a plastic box. You cross  out a number every day and say it’s  the only thing you control, but  you’re helping the count reach zero  faster. >> Maybe that’s exactly what I want.

So,  let’s make a deal. You take your  medicine in front of me every day and  once a week you leave this house with  me to a place of your choosing. >> And what do I get? >> I’ll stop opening your curtains at 8  in the morning. >> That’s not a deal, that’s blackmail . >> It’s both. Do you accept or not? >> You open the curtains at 9.

>> At 8:30. Of all the places in Mexico,  you chose a boat full of drunk tourists . >> My father used to bring me here every  Sunday when I was a child. He always  rented the same trajinera. >> This is the Lupita. He used to say that  a man who only knows five-star hotels  doesn’t know his own country. >> No.

And you agreed with it? >> I was 8 years old. I wanted cotton  candy, but I understood later when he  died and I spent 10 years building  hotels where nobody laughs like that. >> It’s my treat today. The first outing  is on me. I just stay right here. >> You laughed. >> I laughed at your voice. It doesn’t  matter what it was, you laughed.

>> Xochimilco. He went a year without  leaving this house to visit me and this  girl takes him on a tourist boat. He  came back with a sunburned face, Mom.  And he had dinner. Carmen told me he  ate everything and asked for more bread . >> That is exactly what scares me. Do you  remember Mariana? In the first few  months, she also made him smile.

I know  that type of woman. >> Mariana never made him eat tortilla  soup in the kitchen at 3 in the morning . >> There is one more thing. Carmen found  pills in a pot on the terrace. A lot of  them. He hadn’t been taking his  medicine for months. >> Months? Since the diagnosis, and it was  Lucia who found out.

Now he takes them  all in front of her. So, maybe that  six-month deadline was never a real  deadline. Maybe he just gave up. >> I called him every day. Every day he  told me he was taking everything. >> He lied to me too. >> Hmm. >> To her, it seems like he can’t manage. >> Schedule an appointment with another  cardiologist. The best one there is.

>> I already booked it. Dr. Ramirez, for  next week. Hmm. 120 over 80. Better  than mine. And I climb three flights of  stairs every day. >> You write everything in that notebook  like it’s a test. >> The new doctor will want to see it, and  you will want to prove him wrong. So  it’s good to have the numbers.

What is  it? >> Don’t move. >> Lucia. It’s growing. >> What? Your hair. There’s a shadow here.  And back here, too. The last time this  happened, it all fell out three weeks  later. Last time, you were throwing  your medicine into a flower pot. Mr.  Bragança, the exam from 6 months ago

showed an ejection fraction of 20%.  That means your heart was pumping 1/5th  of what it should. It was serious, and  the prognosis they gave you made sense  for a patient without treatment. >> And now? >> Now it’s at 28. It’s still insufficient . But it’s not the heart of a dying man . >> It’s the heart of a man who spent  months without medicine, eating poorly,  sleeping little, and from what your  brother told me, with no desire to wake  up the next day. So he can get better.

>> I’m not going to promise miracles. I  will promise you there is a way,  something no one told you before. And  your hair has started to grow back.  Chemotherapy made your hair fall out,  but after that, your body was in an  emergency state. Little food, little  sleep, your heart working to the limit.  When the body is just surviving, it  doesn’t waste energy on hair.

If it’s  growing now, it’s because your body  decided it can afford to start living  again. >> You don’t look happy. I spent months  preparing to die, doctor. I organized  the will, the company succession, wrote  letters. I know how to do that. I don’t  know if I know how to do the opposite. >> Then, start with the simplest thing.

Make small plans. The heart likes to  have a reason. >> You haven’t said a word since the  doctor’s office. >> I was thinking about the notebook. 84  days turned into 63. If the doctor is  right, I crossed out numbers that meant  nothing. >> Isn’t that good news? >> It’s the worst thing that’s happened to  me since the diagnosis.

When you know  you’re going to die, you don’t need to  fear anything else. You don’t need to  fear failure, being abandoned, or  losing someone. Now he tells me I might  have years. And I don’t know if I want  to have hope and be deceived again by  my own body. When my father died, I  stopped studying landscaping.

I had a  year and a half left. I told everyone  it was because of money, but that  wasn’t all. I was afraid of graduating  and him not being there. So I gave up  beforehand so I wouldn’t have to miss  him that day. >> You never told me that. You never asked . What I mean is that being afraid of  hope doesn’t protect anyone, it just  postpones life.

>> Why landscaping? >> Because an abandoned garden still holds  the garden it once was. You just need  to clear away what’s on top. You are  becoming vain. >> I am not. >> You spent 20 minutes looking in the  mirror. >> I’m assessing the damage. And what is  the diagnosis? >> It grew more on the left side. >> You look like a dog that lost a fight.

>> You look like a man who won two. Today  is the day for our weekly outing. >> Did you choose? >> I did. I want to see your house. Then  stay with me. >> My house isn’t a tourist attraction. >> You know my whole house, my mother, my  brother, my meds, and my worst moods. I  only know you have a brother who can’t  see the board and a mother who sews.

I  think that’s fair. >> My mother is going to die of  embarrassment. The house is small, the  street is noisy. And Mateus will ask  you a thousand questions about  helicopters. I don’t have a helicopter. >> Then he’ll be disappointed, >> but he’ll ask anyway. Look who  remembered the neighborhood. >> Alexandre, this is Felipe.

We grew up  together. He was the one who showed me  the job opening. >> Sorry, I’m covered in grease. Nice to  meet you, Mr. M. >> Lucia talks about you a lot. >> What does she actually say? That you’re  the stubbornest man she’s ever met. >> Is it true you have 23 hotels? >> 26. But I don’t know them all. >> How can someone own something and not  know it? That’s a very good question.

I  think I’ve spent my whole life owning  things I didn’t know. Lucia said you  don’t eat. >> Lucia exaggerates. But I didn’t eat.  It’s true. She forced me to sit in a  dining room and eat soup. Now I  understand where the stubbornness comes  from. >> She’s just like her father. When he got  sick, she spent her nights sitting by  his bed, reading the newspaper to him.

>> What did he die of? >> Heart failure. It was quick. She was 20  and she was the one who found him. >> Hmm. You never told me your father died  of heart failure. It wasn’t important. >> You agreed to take care of a man who  has the same problem that killed your  father. That is important. >> I didn’t agree because of that.

I took  the job for the money. But when I saw  you in that armchair crossing off days  in a notebook, I saw my father in his  final months. He had also given up  before his body, and I did nothing  because I was 15 and thought adults  knew what they were doing. The mechanic  Felipe, >> is he your boyfriend? >> That’s a question for a boss.

>> It’s a question for someone who got  grease on his suit after a hug that  wasn’t meant for him. >> Felipe taught me how to ride a bike and  fought the boys who pulled my hair at  school. He’s practically my brother. >> He doesn’t look at you like a sister. >> And how do you know how he looks at me? >> Let’s get to the point. Bye.

>> What are you doing? >> What are you doing? The doctor said to  do light exercise. >> This is light. >> I carried vases like this for my father  when I was 12. >> When you were 12, your heart was  pumping at 100%. It was healthy.  Without saying >> Carmen, Carmen, call the ambulance.  Look at me. Breathe slowly. Look at me.

>> I’m not crying for you. >> Then for whom? >> For me. Because I don’t want to lose  you. deep in the dry earth. What  happened? What did you do to him, you  crazy woman? I asked what happened. He  was getting better and now he’s in the  ICU. You let him overexert himself. He  was carrying a pot when I arrived.

I  yelled at him, but he doesn’t listen  when he’s happy. And he was happy,  ma’am. He was happy because his  father’s garden finally bloomed. >> He is stable. He had an arrhythmia. His  heart raced more than it could handle.  He pushed himself too hard, but it also  showed something I needed to see. I  want to implant a defibrillator, a  small device under the skin that  corrects the rhythm if this happens  again. It’s a simple surgery.

>> Simple >> compared to what he’s already been  through, ma’am? Yes. And he asked for  someone the moment he woke up, for Miss  Morais. >> Go, he asked for you. I have to. And  Cruz Azul lost again at home for the  third time in a row, leaving the fans. >> I’ll skip football, I support América.  You didn’t tell me you were awake.

You  read like you’re gossiping. Is that how  you used to read to your father? >> It was. He said the news sounded less  sad in my voice. He was right. >> You scared me. When you fell, I thought  it was my father again, that I would be  too late again. You weren’t too late,  you arrived screaming, which was much  worse.

Lucia, in the garden you said: ” >> I know what I said.” >> Did you say it because you were scared?  I said it because it’s true and I know  it shouldn’t be. Because you pay me,  because your mother thinks I’m an  opportunist, and because my contract  ends in three months. >> The contract. >> The contract. >> So don’t ask me anything else today,  okay? Rest again to get up again.

I  counted the days in the silence. You  said we’ll come tomorrow. And without >> this, it doesn’t look like a report. >> It’s the first hotel my father built in  Oaxaca, a colonial house with 30 rooms  and a huge patio. It was closed 12  years ago. I signed the closure myself. >> And why are you looking at it now? >> Because I want to reopen it.

Not like  the others, no marble, no spa, no lobby  smelling of expensive perfume. A small  place, with regional cuisine, with  people who know the city. A place like  Lupita’s. >> Are you making plans? >> I am. >> When would the reopening be? >> In a year and a half, maybe two. >> Two years. And the notebook? >> I stopped drawing the day I went to the  hospital.

I didn’t have the heart to  throw it away. I didn’t have the heart  to keep going either. >> The courtyard needs bougainvillea on  the walls. They handle the heat and  bloom all year round. >> Hmm. Yes. Oh, you should really design  this garden. >> I don’t have a degree. >> You say you aren’t trained to design  the garden. Garden.

I also have no  experience with this kind of hotel.  Neither of us is ready. Then we’ll  learn together. The driver said there  are mudslides at two points on the road . Nobody leaves here until tomorrow. I  heard. >> I already called Carmen. She’ll let my  mother know before she sends the army. >> Why do you never come back here? The  house is perfect.

Carmen has it cleaned  every month. I stopped coming when I  got married. Mariana thought the place  was damp and isolated. Later, when we  split up, I didn’t want to return alone  to a place where I’d been happy. >> But today you returned. >> Today I’m not alone. >> I have a question I wanted to ask.  Since the first day, >> you never asked permission for anything .

Why did you accept? In the interview,  you said you didn’t need anyone. You  could have sent Otávio away with me. >> Because the week before, I had written  a letter to every important person in  my life. My mother, Otávio, Carmen.  When I finished, I realized there were  only three letters. 38 years, 26 hotels , and three letters.

I thought it would  be nice to have someone around at the  end, even if it was someone paid to be  there. >> If you wrote the letters today, how  many would there be? >> Four. I close. The driver called. The  road opens in an hour. So, we have one  hour regarding last night.

>> The window opened. That was all. >> The window opened later. >> Alexandre, you were alone for a year,  sick, locked in a house, and then  someone appeared, opened the curtains,  and made you eat soup. Anyone would  confuse that with something else. Do  you think I’m confusing gratitude with  what I feel? >> I think you just came back to life and  I was the first person you saw.

It’s  like a bird that hatches and follows  the first thing that moves. >> Did you just compare me to a duck? >> To a bird? Duck, that was you who said  it. >> And are you also confusing something?  He came back from the lake singing in  the shower. 30 years in this house and  I’ve never heard that man sing. >> He sings worse than I do.

>> No one sings worse than you, girl. The  contract ends in five weeks. Have you  thought about what you’re going to do ? I’m leaving, Carmen. When the  contract ends, I’m gone. >> And he knows it. >> That’s what he hired me for, to  accompany his final months. Those  months are over. He’s not dying  anymore.

And I can’t stay here  collecting a salary to be, to be what?  A reminder of the time when he was sick . >> You could stay without receiving any  salary, and live on what? Whether I’m  the poor girlfriend his mother despises , or the hired girl who got lucky.  I’ve seen how people look when I get  in the car with him.

One day, he’ll  see it too. The nighttime ones. >> Leave them on the table. >> The deal is you take them in front of  me. >> The deal ends in weeks. You can start  getting used to not being here to see  it. >> Did you hear me? I did. And don’t  worry, I understand perfectly. You were  hired for my final days. I had the  impoliteness not to die.

>> That’s not it and you know it. >> Then what is it? You forced me to open  the windows, to eat, to go out, to make  plans. You told me that fearing hope  only postpones life. And now that I  have hope, you’re leaving because  you’re afraid of what people will say  in a car? >> It’s not just what people say.

It’s  what’s true. I am paid to be here,  Alexandre. Every month money lands in  my account that comes from you. How  will you know that I like you and not  your money? How will I know that you  like me and not the woman who pulled  you out of that dark room? Because I  know the difference. >> Two months ago you didn’t know the  difference between taking medicine and  throwing it in a plant.

>> You’re right. Two months ago I didn’t  know anything. I was counting the days  to die. Now I count the days left until  you leave. And it’s much worse. This  isn’t fair. Didn’t they say he was  dying? They did. Seems he changed his  mind. >> You look handsome, my son. You look

like your father on our wedding day. >> Happy birthday, Mom. Thank you for  insisting on this party. You came? >> Your mother sent an invitation. I  thought it was a trap. >> It probably is. Dance with me >> here >> in front of everyone. >> I spent a year hidden in this house,  Lucia. Today I want everyone to see.

It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen  him dance. >> 12. At his wedding. He danced with  Mariana like someone checking off a  task. And now >> she’s a companion. >> It’s >> that contract. They say she was a  waitress. Smart one. Arrived at the  right time. Sick man, alone, full of  money. >> Wow, you dance well.

I didn’t expect  that. My father taught me in our  kitchen. I will be direct because I  don’t know how to be any other way.  Inside here is a check. It’s the  value of 3 years of your salary, enough  for you to finish college, pay off your  mother’s house and your brother’s  studies. And in exchange I leave. >> In exchange you leave before the  surgery, no scene, no long goodbye.

He  needs to be calm. He doesn’t need  another woman who surgery? >> he didn’t tell you. >> What surgery, ma’am? >> The latest exam showed one of his heart  valves is very damaged. The  defibrillator doesn’t fix that. Dr.  Ramires wants to operate in three weeks . Open-heart surgery. He said the  chances are good, but with a heart like  his, nothing is simple. Three weeks.

How long has he known about this? >> For 13 days. He told me, Otávio, and  Carmen. He asked that nobody say  anything to you. I thought it was  because you had already spoken. >> He kissed me a week ago and he already  knew. Lucia, the check. >> Keep it, ma’am. I don’t need your money  to leave. >> You disappeared.

I looked for you all  night. >> Three weeks. >> Who told you? Your mother. >> While she was trying to pay me to leave . She thought I already knew. Everyone  in this house knew, except me. >> I was going to tell you when? On the  gurney, in the surgical wing hallway.  You let me kiss you, knowing you might  not wake up from surgery.

You let me  make plans for a garden in Arraca. >> Because I wanted those plans to be real . For the first time in a year, someone  looked at me as if I had a future. If I  told you, you would go back to looking  at me like a patient, you’d stay out of  pity, stay because you can’t forgive  yourself for your father. >> So that’s what you thought of me? >> That’s not what I >> You decided for me.

Decided what I  could know, what I would feel, why I  would stay. My contract ends on Friday.  I’m leaving on >> The surgery is three weeks away. >> Then you’ll have three weeks to learn  that you don’t need to hide things  from those who love you. The night meds  are three. At 9 he’ll try to fool me,  I know.

So watch until he swallows it  and open the curtains at 8:30, even if  he complains. You brought this house  back to life, girl. Don’t you forget  that. No one knows what comes for my  here as long. You’ve counted those  coins three times. >> I’m tired, Mom. You’ve been tired since

you got back, but it’s not your feet.  Otavio called today. He wanted to know  if you were okay. Said his brother is  back to eating in his room with the  curtains drawn. He lied to me, Mom. He  was going to have heart surgery and hid  it from me like I was a child. And your  father, when he started feeling chest  pains, did he tell you? He hid it from  both of us for months.

He said it was  just heartburn. Do you know why?  Because he saw your face when you came  home from school talking about the  gardens you’d design, and he didn’t  want to erase that. It wasn’t a lack of  trust, dear. It was fear of being the  sad thing in the life of someone he  loved. >> I was so angry with Dad after the  funeral. I was angry for a whole year.

>> I know. And now, how long are you going  to be angry with this man? Until the  surgery, until after it’s done. I ask  you one thing and you answer without  thinking. Did you leave that house  because he lied, or because he got  better? >> What do you mean? >> While he was dying, you knew exactly  where you stood.

You were the woman who  cared for him. Now he’s alive, and you  don’t know who to be by his side. So  you ran away before you had to find out . >> Stop it, Mom. >> You’ve been like this for a week. I  spent a year watching you die in this  armchair and I won’t watch it again. >> I’m taking my medication. You can ask  Carmen. Okay. >> That’s not the heart I’m talking about.

It was me, Alexandre, at the party. I  offered her money to leave. A lot of  money. >> You did what? >> I did what I’ve always done. I  protected you from anyone I thought  wanted something. And she looked at  that envelope as if I had spat on her.  I’ve never felt so small in my life.  That’s how I told her about the surgery  by accident.

So, part of what happened  is my fault. No, Mom, it’s my fault. I  hid it because I was afraid she’d stay  out of pity. >> And in the end, I did exactly what you  did. I decided for her how she felt.  Then go after her. >> Are you telling me to go after the  caregiver you tried to buy off? I’m  telling you to go after the only person  who managed to make you eat in a year.

And if she agrees to come back, I will  apologize to her myself. Without any  witnesses, naturally. Your father would  have liked her. He always said I was  too difficult to be happy. She is  inside, but I should warn you that she  spent the week fighting with the coffee  machine at the diner as if it were you.

>> Then I arrived just in time before she  breaks the machine. Lucia, there is a  man here with a plant. >> What are you doing here? >> The weekly outing. It’s still Sunday.  Per the agreement, I choose the place. >> The contract ended, Alexandre. >> I know. That’s why I came. want. >> I hid the surgery from you because I  was afraid. Not of dying.

I’ve already  been afraid of that enough for a  lifetime. I was afraid that you would  stay out of obligation, and I made that  decision alone, just as I’ve made  every decision in my life, and I lost  you because of it. >> You also told me that I would stay  because I hadn’t forgiven myself for my  father. That was cruel and unfair.

And  I regretted it before I even finished  the sentence. I also don’t know how to  do this without paper, so I wrote a new  contract. Single clause. Lucia Moraes  will not be paid, will not take care of  anyone, and will not be obligated to  anything. She may leave whenever she  wants. >> The surgery is on Thursday.

I am not  asking you to be my nurse, nor to hold  my hand out of pity. I am asking that  you be there because you want to. And  if you don’t want to, I understand. But  I wanted you to know everything this  time. You came all the way to the  favela with bougainvillea flowers and a  torn contract to tell me this in front  of the whole neighborhood.

>> You said I never knew anything that was  mine. I wanted to know this here, too. >> The next time you are afraid, you tell  me. Even if it’s ridiculous. Even if  it’s at 3 in the morning. 3 in the  morning is when I’m most afraid. >> I know, I was there. If it rains  tomorrow, I will remember both of us. >> Did he come by car or helicopter? >> Shut up, Mateus.

If you die, I get your  watch. >> I already told Mom. >> If I die, the watch goes to Carmen.  It’s in the will. You get Lupita’s  debts. >> I’ll wait for you on the other side of  that door. Don’t make me wait too long. >> If I don’t wake up, >> you wake up. >> Let me finish. If I don’t wake up, the  notebook is in the library drawer.

There’s the Orca patio, it has your  name on it. Otávio knows what to do. >> Otávio doesn’t even know where the  library is. Then you’ll have to wake  up to take care of it. Otávio  doesn’t even know where the library  is, >> so you’ll have to wake up to take  care of it. >> Lúcia, fire me tomorrow. >> Today I’m still busy.

>> 6 hours. The doctor said five. With a  heart like his, nothing is simple. You  were the one who told me that. I owe  you an apology, and I’m not good at  it. In my family, we apologized by  sending flowers and pretending nothing  happened. With all due respect, ma’am,  if you send me flowers, I’ll plant  them.

I thought you wanted his money,  but I was the one who wanted something.  I wanted to be the person who saved my  son. For a year, I called every day and  he lied to me. You arrived and in a  week he couldn’t lie anymore. I was  jealous of you, Lúcia. That’s it. A  woman my age jealous of a girl. He  didn’t lie to you because he didn’t  love you.

He lied because he didn’t  want to see you suffer. My mother  explained that to me about my father.  Men of that age are very stupid when it  comes to love. >> No. The valve was replaced. There was a  complication in the middle. The rhythm  was erratic for a few minutes, but the  heart recovered on its own. He’s  stubborn.

He will spend the night in  the ICU. The next 48 hours are  important, but what I saw in there is a  heart that wants to beat. >> Uh-huh. >> Dido’s tab, and América won 2-0 with  a goal in stoppage time that left the  fans…You are lying. América  doesn’t beat anyone. >> I made it up. I thought you would wake  up faster if you got annoyed.

>> It worked. Hm. >> Sleep now. I’ll be here when you wake  up. >> The notebook. >> No numbers. >> All right. As of today, no numbers. The  college professor came, said she’ll  bring students to see the patio next  semester. She said that out of  politeness.

>> She said that after taking 40 photos. >> Politeness doesn’t take 40 photos.  Look at that, a gray hair. >> I’m assessing the damage. You’re  getting old. >> I am. For a year I thought I wouldn’t  have this privilege. >> You still look at the sunset as if you  were counting it. >> No, now I look because it’s beautiful  and because you like it, but I created  a new rule for the sunset.

>> A rule? Before, every day, before the  sun went down, I would cross out a  number. Now, every day, before the sun  sets, I want to ask you a question.  It’s not a contract, it has no clause  or end date, it’s just a question and  you can answer tomorrow if you want. >> Not tomorrow. Today I’m still busy.

Today I have to say yes. Tomorrow,  people, and without realizing it,  between one flower and another, I  started wanting to see. You used to say  that a rose, even dried up, can bloom.  And I, who only counted time, learned  to count on you. So stay with me before  the sun sets. Leave the world outside  and hold my hand.

I don’t want to count  the days anymore. I want to count our  plans, a garden, a house, a path, and  you in my tomorrow, if life gives me a  thousand afternoons. So, all you  romantics out there, what did you think ? She was hired to accompany him until  death and ended up teaching him to want  to live.

Now I want to hear from you,  if you were Lucia and found out he hid  the surgery, would you have left or  would you have stayed by his side? Tell  me here in the comments, as I read them  all. And whoever watched until the end,  write there: “God heals”. I want to  know who made it this far with me.
