We left the hospital and got everything sorted out, managing to hire four nurses, both of whom will rotate with the two of them.
Now is the hardest part, we have to talk to Heloisa.
We arrived home the next day in the afternoon.
Heloisa: You're finally here. Hi! Grandpa, what a surprise, did you come to save me from the dragon?
Henrique: Daughter, sit here with Grandpa.
Heloisa: I've been good. Haven't I, Dona Marta?
Marta: Yes, dear.
Henry: Excuse us, please.
She leaves.
Henrique: Daughter, your parents had an accident.
Heloisa: Accident?
Henrique: Yes, my love, they can't take care of you right now.
Heloisa: WHERE ARE MY PARENTS, I WANT MY PARENTS.
She cries and screams and it destroys me inside, this is one of the reasons why I don't want to have children or find someone who might suffer.
Yes, I know, I'm a coward, because I still haven't managed to cry.
Henrique: Calm down, daughter, they'll recover, they're just in a deep sleep.
She sobs, so I ask Marta to bring her a sedative.
Henry: Drink this water, Heloisa.
Heloisa: I don't want to.
Henrique: Please, daughter.
My father insists and she drinks all the water, and the sedative soon takes effect and she falls asleep.
Henrique: It won't be easy at all.
Henry: Not at all. I'm going to transfer her here.
Henrique: Do that. I'll take her to her room.
I go to the office and take care of all that, and I say the girl only starts next week, they demand I go to sign, I agree to go on the day I'll take her to school.
During that week my father talked to her, we took her to visit her parents three times.
And slowly I started talking to her, I'm trying to get closer, I know she needs affection and I'm going to try to give that to her, even in my own way.
Henry: Let's go Heloisa, it's time and I'm late.
Heloisa: Do I have to go?
Henry: Yes, your parents would kill me if I didn't take you, and they'd be sad to know you don't want to go.
I believe I was convincing, I see her grab her backpack.
Heloisa: If there's no other way, let's go.
I take her to school, and go directly to the principal's office.
Henry: Good morning.
Principal: Good morning! I suppose you are Mr. Henry Valença.
Henry: Yes.
Principal: Sign these documents and she's cleared to attend classes. I'll speak with the teacher responsible for the class to prepare a handout with the topics that have already been covered.
Henry: Alright.
Principal: Great, come with me, dear.
Henry: What time is dismissal?
Principal: As she was enrolled full-time, dismissal is at 3 PM.
Henry: Okay. Good luck Heloisa, and have a good day at school.
Heloisa: Bye! Uncle.
The principal takes her to the classroom and I leave, I notice several eyes on me.
Not that it bothers me.
I head to the office and the secretary comes to me.
Secretary: Sir, you have a meeting and you're already late.
Henry: I had some personal problems, I'm on my way.
I go to the meeting room, and this meeting lasts almost (two) hours, my head is about to explode.
Secretary: Sir, Miss Karina won't stop calling.
Henry: Today is definitely not my day.
I enter the room and huff with anger.
I decide to call.
Call
Henry: Hi Karina.
Karina: Oh, my love, is that how you talk to me?
Henry: What fucking love? Get one thing straight, we have nothing but sex. Carnal desire, understand? If you're not satisfied, I'm sorry, we stop here.
Karina: I'm sorry. Forget it. When are we going to see each other?
Henry: I don't know, I'm swamped with work and have some problems.
Karina: I'm sorry about your brother and sister-in-law.
Henry: Thanks, I'm hanging up.
I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to get involved with Karina, she's beautiful, but nothing that makes me want something serious, I always made it clear, and I never brought anyone home, the house I lived in with my wife I sold, I couldn't stand being there.
And so, no woman ever entered this new house, besides the staff.
That's why I bought an apartment.
Whenever I go to a club and it works out to have a good lay, Karina is like a friend with benefits.

I leave the office early to pick up Heloisa from school, when I arrive, I see her talking to a boy who must be the same age as her.
Henry: Let's go, Heloisa.
Heloisa: Bye Luca, see you tomorrow. Let's go, uncle.
Henry: I see you made a new friend.
Heloisa: Luca is nice, his mom is my teacher, she's very beautiful, uncle.
Henry: I'm glad you made friends.
Heloisa: I got his number, he's very fun.
Henry: And besides that, how was your first day?
Heloisa: It was good, the teacher is very nice and attentive, she explains very well, I loved it.
We arrived home, and my father arrived shortly after.
Henrique: How was school?
Heloisa: It was good, the teacher is very nice and attentive, she explains very well, I loved it, and besides, I met her son who is very fun, his name is Luca, Grandpa.
Henrique: I see you're excited.
Heloisa: Yes.
She goes upstairs.
Henry: And so?
Henrique: Everything's the same, son.
I sigh.
Henry: For now, let's avoid taking her there.
Henrique: I agree.

Meanwhile.
Valentina: Looks like you liked your new friend?
Luca: Yes, Mom, she seems sad.
Valentina: Son, her parents had an accident, and it seems they're in a coma. So try not to talk too much about her parents, if she wants to tell you, she will, understand?
Luca: Yes, Mommy.
Valentina: Now let's go home.
My son is a golden boy, people like him easily, and he's also very observant.
We arrive and I tell him to go straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
Rosalina: Daughter.
Valentina: Hi! Mom, I'm exhausted.
Rosalina: I'm making dinner, your brother called. He said for you to call him.
Valentina: I'll call him right now.
I call my brother.
Vinicius: Finally!
Valentina: Clown, but tell me, what happened?
We chatted nonsense, and took the opportunity to organize a party since next weekend is our mother's birthday and we're going to throw her a surprise party.
