The hours go by and Diogo doesn't see Emma anymore. He goes up to the rooms and she wasn't in Isadora's room. He looks in hers and she was sleeping. He stares at her for a few minutes and leaves.
He goes down to the living room and as the hours go by people start to leave.
It was 7 pm when Emma woke up, she runs to Isadora's room and she wasn't there, she goes down to the living room and sees her playing with some toys in the living room, there were no more guests and the room was impeccable again.
Amanda: You look scared, is everything okay?
Isadora: Mommy
Emma: I fell asleep unintentionally and saw that Isadora wasn't in the room, I'm sorry...
Amanda: Don't worry, you just woke up scared, let's go to the kitchen to have some water.
They go to the kitchen and Isadora goes with them, Emma seemed dazed but soon passed, they go back to the living room and sit on the couch.
Rayane: Auntie, everything was beautiful, congratulations again.
Amanda: Thank you dear.
Gustavo: I can't say much, you always do amazing.
Amanda: Haha, I learned to throw good parties haha
Emma: Really, everything was beautiful, especially the ceremony.
Amanda: It was very beautiful indeed.
Emma: Princess, shall we take a bath and put on some more comfortable clothes?
Isadora: Let's go, mommy too.
Emma: Me too.
Rayane: Oh guys, am I the only one who thinks it's tacky that the nanny is called mom? Because one day Isadora will have a real mother, Diogo will find someone and the nanny will be sent away.
Everyone looks at her except Emma, she takes Isadora and walks up the stairs in silence, while she was going up she could hear Amanda scolding Rayane, she goes up to the room and takes Isadora to the bathroom, she bathes with her and stays hugging her in the shower, a fear strikes her heart because she has lost all the people she has ever loved, Isadora has a unique place in her heart and in a month she has already won Emma over.
She knows that she couldn't get too attached to her but she couldn't help it, it was stronger than her and today she can't see herself without Isadora.
They finish bathing and are dressed in bathrobes, Emma puts on Isadora's pajamas and leaves her playing while she gets dressed, she arrives in the room and takes a deep breath going to her bag, she puts on some comfortable clothes and Diogo opens the door, luckily she was already dressed.
Diogo: Sorry about Rayane's comment, she spoke without thinking.
Emma: She's right... says with a forced smile... one day you will find someone and I will be gone, I think me and Isadora got attached too quickly and that could be bad for her when the time comes.
Diogo: Don't be silly, I'm not going to find anyone and you will always be Isadora's mother, she never wanted another woman as a mother and you were the first, I already tried but she only wanted you and if she chose you then you are the right person.
Emma: Let's not fool ourselves, Mr. Diogo, no one goes through life alone, you take women to your house and you still think you can't find anyone? Or do you think the woman you date will agree to live in your house listening to Isadora call me mom?
Diogo: Shut up, you don't know what I want, if I want to date someone. I already said that I'm not going to date any woman and about the ones who go there it's just sex, that's all.
Emma: You don't owe me any explanations, I'm going to get Isadora.
Diogo: Emma... he says holding her arm... you will always be Isadora's mother, she loves you and I know how much you care for her.
She gives him a weak smile and leaves the room, she goes to Isadora's room and Amanda was there playing with her, Emma approaches and sits on the bed.
Amanda: I'm sorry dear, Rayane was wrong to say that.
Emma: It's okay.
Amanda: No one will replace you, look at her eyes shining for you, that smile, that love, you are mother and daughter and it will be like this forever.
Emma: I love this little one, in such a short time she has become very important to me.
Amanda: The love of a child fulfills us, wins us over.
Emma: Yes, very much.
Diogo: Dinner is served.
Diogo speaks from the door and they go downstairs, as they had already eaten at the party, dinner was fish with rice and salad, nothing too heavy, they have dinner and then go to the living room.
Rayane and Gustavo had left, they stay in the living room talking and Isadora lies down on Emma's lap watching cartoons.
She falls asleep and Diogo picks her up and goes up with her to the room, Emma stays in the living room and Diogo's parents go to sleep, when she was getting up to go to her room Diogo appears with two glasses and a wine.
Diogo: Will you join me?
Emma: I don't think it's appropriate, I better go to sleep.
Diogo: It's nothing much Emma, a glass of wine and a few minutes won't hurt you.
Emma: Alright.
She sits on the couch and he sits down and hands her a glass of wine, he sits on the same couch but a little further away from her.
Diogo: How about we get to know each other?
Emma: We already know each other.
Diogo: I'm talking about life stories.
Emma: I have nothing to say.
Diogo: Why are you lying? Even without seeing each other much I know when you lie.
Emma: It's just boring subjects that I don't like to talk about.
Diogo: Okay.
What do you think of the USA?
Emma: I'm enjoying it, I haven't been out much so I don't have much to say.
Diogo: Once you get to know it you'll love it.
Emma: I hope so.
Diogo: Are you going to stay here permanently?
Emma: Yes.
Diogo: Don't you miss your country?
Emma: No.
Diogo: You're not much of a talker, are you?
Emma: It's not that, it's just that you talk about subjects that I don't like to talk about.
Diogo: Okay.
Emma: Tell me about yourself then, I can already tell I don't have much to say about myself.
Diogo: You do, hobbies, tastes...
But okay, what do you want to know?
Emma: How did you become so powerful?
Diogo: I studied a lot, really, my father already had the company because it was passed down through generations, it was my grandfather's and then it was my father's, he retired when he saw that I was ready and well understood the subject. I studied business administration and started law school, I didn't finish but I studied a lot, I became more knowledgeable about the subject and the laws, rules, it helped me to know what I could do and what was possible.
Emma: How old were you when you took over the company?
Diogo: No need for "Sir", Emma.
I took over when I was 20 and I'm still here.
Emma: Wow, what a journey.
Diogo: Yes, I dedicate myself a lot so that it never goes down in the rankings.
Emma: I can imagine.
Diogo: Have you never wanted to start your own business?
Emma: No, I used to want to be a doctor but I ended up doing nursing, only those with money study medicine.
Diogo: That's not right.
Emma: You say that because you have money.
Diogo: What do you like to do in your free time?
Emma: Go out, go to the movies, parties, bars, clubs, malls... things that everyone likes.
Diogo: I noticed that you like these things, first the club and yesterday the club.
Emma: I like these things, I like to have fun and be able to dance, music makes me feel good, but I also don't just like to go out, there are days when I wouldn't trade my house for any party.
Diogo: I see.
Emma: And you?
Diogo: We have the same taste, I think you could tell that I like to go out and drink, if someone asks me to go drinking in a bar I'll go, I'm very much into having fun.
I wasn't before, but I am now and I think it's good.
Emma: It's good to have your freedom.
Diogo: I went without going out for a few years and I thought I wouldn't like it anymore, but thank God it was the opposite.
Emma: When you were married?
Diogo: Yes.
Emma: I understand.
The mood kind of weighs down and they are silent for a few minutes.
