Mia looked at Emma, smiling without knowing that her engagement was hurting Emma and creating a divide between them that could only be healed with time.
Emma listened to the sound of glasses clinking, the toasts of people celebrating with hugs and good wishes, and her dreams and hopes were shattered.
She stood paralyzed, watching the scene of love between her sister and her boyfriend, as they promised to be together.
On the other hand, Jimmy felt so guilty seeing her devastated, unable to rush to explain what was really happening and restraining his feelings as his father held him back, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"It's not the right time, Jimmy, to..." his father said, calming Jimmy down to prevent a scene.
Mia walked towards Emma to hug her, hoping that Emma would congratulate her on her engagement and be happy for her.
"Emma...! What a surprise, it's great that you're here for my engagement with Jimmy," Mia said, hugging Emma tightly, while Emma still couldn't comprehend what was happening and why this betrayal occurred.
Jimmy's mother approached Emma since she was in shock, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was celebrating and distracted, she took her out of the house.
"Emma, please, come outside," Jimmy's mother said, trying to prevent a disaster from happening in front of everyone.
Emma walked, unable to see clearly as tears clouded her eyes and the pain in her chest seemed to leave her breathless and panicked.
"Let me go, what is happening? This is a joke, right?" Emma said, crying with a red face and trembling hands due to anger.
"Emma, please try to calm down, I know this is very hard, but I'm going to explain..." Jimmy's mother said, being interrupted by Emma's mother who immediately came out of the house upon seeing Emma.
"What is happening, Emma? What are you doing here and why are you crying?" her mother asked, confused.
"What is happening... that's what I'm also wondering. Until a few hours ago, Jimmy was my boyfriend and now he's engaged to my sister!" Emma said, hysterically.
At that moment, Jimmy came out from behind Emma.
"What? How can he be your boyfriend?" her mother asked, confused.
"Jimmy, explain to all of us what is going on!" Emma said, with a broken voice, looking at Jimmy.
Jimmy looked down and, unable to meet Emma's eyes, remained silent.
"Look, Emma, I'm not sure what's going on, but Mia is pregnant. She's four months pregnant and her health is delicate. If she finds out, her life will be in danger!" his mother said, angry.
"Pregnant? How could you, you bastard... and with my own sister..." Emma screamed, hitting Jimmy with her hands.
"Emma, listen to me, it's not what you think, I swear to you I..." Jimmy said, allowing Emma to hit him with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Enough, Emma, stop...! This is not the right moment, we'll talk later," his mother said, interrupting between Jimmy and Emma, not allowing Jimmy to finish talking.
