Episode 4

Adrian paid the hospital and left.

Arriving at the hotel, Brianna was waiting for me, sitting on the bed.

Brianna: Where were you?

Adrian: Not now, Brianna.

Brianna: You're different, Adrian, you never want to talk, you've been different with me for a few days.

Adrian: Just problems, I just don't want to talk.

Brianna: Is there another woman, Adrian?

Adrian: Are you going to get paranoid now?

Brianna: I'm tired of this.

She leaves to pack her bags, I take a deep breath and go after her.

Adrian: I'm sorry, it's just bank problems, you know I get stressed with work.

I took her to bed wanting to talk seriously and we sat facing each other.

Adrian: What do you think about having a child?

Brianna: What? That's out of my plans, love, you know, you agreed too at the beginning. I don't want to ruin my body, I still have to model, these months are full of shows.

I'm horrified by her words

Adrian: What do you mean ruin your body? You don't want to have children?

Brianna: My love, I won't be a good mother, I don't have patience for children, we're still young, we just got married, I need to focus on my career too.

I moved away from her, went to the balcony and looked at the sea, trying to calm down.

Brianna: Love, we need to go back home, I have to travel, a show came up.

Adrian: You said you would dedicate yourself to our marriage, that you wouldn't participate in every show.

Brianna: Love, I need to model, I promise I'll be back soon, but I also didn't promise I'd be a housewife, Adrian, less, okay?

Adrian: You know what? I don't think you're really ready for this kind of relationship, for marriage, that must be why you strung me along all these years, you only think about yourself. I'm tired, it's better to break up, we'll never work out, this marriage was just to benefit you in the media, wasn't it?

Brianna: WHAT? You can't do this, Adrian, I'll always be your wife, I love you, I didn't benefit from anything.

Adrian: You're going back alone, I'll have the jet prepared, go to your show.

Brianna: My love, I'll be back soon.

She tries to kiss me, I dodge her and leave the hotel, going to another one.

Sarah

I stayed in the hospital for two days, I didn't see Adrian again, nor did I know if he came back.

After being discharged, I went to the supermarket as I was going to do before, bought everything I needed and went home by bus.

I couldn't stop thinking about Adrian, my mind was full, it was difficult to have to lie, but it was necessary.

The baby wouldn't stop moving, I always talked to him, my fear grew when I imagined that if Adrian found out the truth, he could take my son away from me.

I went back to work after three days, the money was running out, I took the popcorn cart and went to the streets.

I was walking through the streets going to the mall, when passing the traffic light, I offered some sweets to the stopped cars, a very beautiful black car lowered the window, Adrian took off his sunglasses and looked at me.

I turned around very ashamed, nervous, and without reaction. Who would have thought I'd be selling sweets nowadays?

Adrian opened the door to go after her, the traffic light turned green and he had to close the door.

I held onto the cart, breathing deeply trying to make that annoying dizziness and nervousness go away.

I continued on my way, went to the mall and spent the whole day working there.

At the end of the day, I arrived home and three neighbors came to me, each with a box in her hand. They always helped me with some things I needed, they are great people, I love their children.

Sarah: Hello, how are you?

Celia: Hi, we're fine, and you?

Sarah: I'm fine.

Fernanda: This big belly just keeps growing.

Sarah: In four months he'll come into the world.

Vera: It'll be the best thing.

Can we come in?

Sarah: Of course, come in.

I open the door and they enter.

They sit on the sofa and leave the boxes on the floor.

Celia: Sarah, you know we like you very much, our children adore you.

Vera: We saw some things at home that no longer fit us and we brought them for you. There are clothes from our children when they were babies, there are some of our clothes, there are clothes we haven't even worn yet and we also brought a basic food basket.

I was moved and a little ashamed. I never imagined living like this, receiving donations, help from others.

Sarah: I don't even know what to say.

Fernanda: Don't think we feel sorry for you, we just want to help you, do something good, we always make donations, keeping these things at home that no longer serve us is a waste.

Sarah: Thank you very much, I am very grateful to you, thank you for all the help.

Vera: My son even sent some toys for the baby, haha.

Sarah: Haha, it'll take a little while for him to know how to play, haha.

Celia: But he'll already have toys, haha.

Fernanda: Sarah, my boss has a sister who needs someone to make some empanadas for her birthday, two places canceled, I thought of you, you used to make them to sell and they are delicious.

Sarah: I don't know Fernanda, I don't know if she'll like them.

Fernanda: You can make one of each flavor and I'll take them for her to try. It'll be good money you'll earn, you can even invest in it if you want.

Sarah: Is it that much money?

Fernanda: It depends on the quantity, and with the increase in the price of things you can increase the value.

Sarah: But I don't have money to buy the things to make them.

Fernanda: Everything is here from the basic food basket, when you see what we brought, you'll see what you can make.

Sarah: Okay, I'll make them today, tomorrow you can take them for her to try.

I was very excited, the girls too, they said goodbye and I walked them to the door.

I went to the boxes, curious, there were many clothes, baby clothes, and a box full of food, this wasn't a basic food basket, it was a complete shopping trip.

I went to take a shower, put on comfortable clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare the empanadas, very excited.
