- I would only hurt me, my love. They died for me, not ever want to look in the face of the two.
- Wait for me here, okay? I'll be back.
It remains reading documents and signing them, as I walk toward the delegate points. Open a door and find them sitting behind a desk, where I know they will be questioned.
- Police, help! Police! - Adelaide screams, and I laugh.
- Afraid of what, a bitch? Do you think anyone in this precinct will defend a woman who was able to take the granddaughter of his own daughter's arms and give it to a stranger? Do you think anyone will stop me end up here with you?
His eyes widened when he realized what is at my mercy.
- You two are the worst monsters that exist in this world. Hell will burn with pleasure, when you get there. You need not be afraid. There is nothing I can do to you that is worse than what you did to me, Cecilia and Clarinha. I'm just thinking here with myself, what you gained from all this? Money? Success? Glories?
The father of Cecilia cries.
- I should never have agreed to it. I always thought wrong, only I agreed because Adelaide has convinced me that Cecilia could thus have a better life. Today I see how I was cowardly and stupid.
- And you expect me to feel what? Sorry for you? I do not feel sorry for cowardly and pathetic men. Incidentally, you are not a man. It's a rat! And his wife is a pit viper, an ordinary bitch.
- Shut your mouth, your dirty! Who do you think you are to talk to me? First, go wash that smell sty you carry in your skin, your poor!
The plug finally falls.
- Is jealous, right? What do you feel for Cecilia. She was happy the way that you've never been. She was living in a beautiful farm that, in his mind, was to be his. You must bitterly regret having dismissed my father. But, you know what? He told me that was the best thing you could have done for him. Just so he was allowed to see the incredible and unmatched woman who is my mother. He told me he never thought so happy, and I understand it, because Cecilia makes me feel the same way.
- Shut your mouth! I do not want to hear it! Your father loves me! You hear? He loves me! And Cecilia is my daughter, have to live the way I lived.
- Unhappy as you choose to be? Funny how life is. You changed the happiness for money and became poor. Cecilia exchanged money for happiness and now lives very well, thank God. Do not you miss anything or will never miss. And she is very happy, you know?
- That ungrateful little brat! She will not be happy ever, I ended up with her life.
I approach her and look into her eyes.
- You'll never get out the light of those born to shine. She is happier than you ever dreamed of being, and that is what will haunt you for the rest of your life. His daughter lives the life you did not want to live. Learn to deal with it, while spending the rest of his life in jail.
I go out and take a deep breath. I'll be back to where Cecilia is and sign the papers missing.
- Well, I do not lack anything. Can get his daughter - the chief says, and I realize that even he is thrilled with this reunion.
Squeeze the hand of Cecilia and I look at her, waiting for is ready. She breathes several times background, looks at me and nods.
We walked into the room and opened it.
She is holding a chalk green waste, noting the design did. Then she approaches the leaf and touches up its design, which is incredibly beautiful. A green pasture with a running horse. I look at Cecilia, and she looks at me, both holding back tears.
less protectively The notice our presence and says:
- Victoria, they arrived. Come and meet your father and mother.
Slowly she looks away from paper to our direction. When you see us, she drops the chalk and opens his mouth in amazement.
- You? - It is all she says, while looking from me to Ceci, and Ceci to me.
I can not hold back the tears. Ceci takes a step toward Clara and says:
- Finally, my daughter! Finally I have you here with me.
- But I know you - she says, wincing. - Why have not said before? Why did they leave me with them all this time? - The voice of Clara gets excited, and I realize that she wants to cry.
- We did not know you were alive, my little one. You got my arms so you were born.
- I took it from you? - she asks.
- You took! - Cecilia says.
I remain silent, for I have no strength or words to express myself.
- So you never gave me?
Cecilia cries and shakes her head.
I finally get up the courage to say:
- We would never do that. Since we hear your heart beat within his mother's womb, we created a love for you greater than our own lives. We thought we'd lost you, daughter. I know it's hard for you to understand that the people that you did not create her parents were and I know that's your hard for you to love, but ... - Clarinha interrupts.
- Do you love me anyway? Really?
Do not restrain a smile and say while Ceci:
- More than anything.
She watches us and seems to reflect on our words. I feel that she's embarrassed and a little scared, but then Ceci opens his arms and says:
- Daughter, please. Give me a hug. Please!
Tentatively, Clara walks to the Ceci and extends his little arms, burying his face in his mother's neck.
Ceci wildly cries and shakes, and I approach and embrace the two.
- Our daughter! Thank you God! Thank you!
Chapter 43 - Cecilia
I thought finally be in the arms Ignatius would be the best feeling in the world, but I was mistaken, the best feeling in the world was finally to have my daughter in my arms, feel her perfume, her little body next to mine.
Ignatius embraces us, and feel like I am finally whole, complete.
- Can we take it? - Ignatius asks for responsible and she agrees, indicating some bags on the wall.
- These are her things, we gather before bringing it.
- Thank you.
Raise the floor, where I was kneeling so far, and caught Clarinha in her lap, I think I will not be able to drop my daughter anytime soon.
- I'll live with you now?
- Go my love. Dad will paint your little room the way you want, and we'll leave it beautiful.
- I'll paint? - He asks, looking at me with a smile.
- You can be lilac? I love purple.
- Yeah, I'm going to paint a room - he speaks. - And lilac, and what you want.
The Clarinha gives him a smile, kissing her forehead.
- Thanks.
- You do not need to thank my love. - Clamping against my body and follow Ignatius out of the station.
Step through a door that is open and see the doctor Rubens and sitting woman being interrogated by the police officer, my desire was to punch the woman who stole my daughter and break it whole.
- Where will I live?
- We live on a beautiful farm called Blue Sky - speak, putting Clarinha in the car.
- Finance? - Question with eyes shining.
- Was already forgetting Ignatius, someone said he always wanted a horse, a parrot, a turtle.
- A dog too - speaks excited and laugh.
- Let's see if I can help with that dream. - Ignatius winks at her, smiling and start the car taking us home.
- You will love the farm, honey.
- I have grandma and grandpa? - Serious question and I feel that this is an important issue.
- You have the Great Grandpa, Grandma Fatima, Alana aunt, Aunt Mari and has Luzi, I'm sure you will love like another grandmother.
- I have it all? - Asks incredulously. - Dad and Mom had not Grandpa and Grandma for me.
I look at Ignatius and see him hit the steering wheel. I know he's angry that she treat them well yet.
- My love, you have a whole family that loves you. Daddy and I love you very much, I know it will be hard to forget that they are not their parents, and we let it get used to us. But I want you to know that nothing in thi
s world would make me happier than you call me Mom and Dad know think the same.
She looks at us, and nods, and I know you're thinking about what I said, it is with a ruguinha forehead equal to Ignatius.
We entered the farm and Clarinha jumps on my lap to better look out the window, she comments on the cows and calves, as we go through. Her love for animals is clear in your eyes and in your animation.
Ignatius park the truck and see the car of Mari, she said she would wait, especially when Fatima said it would make a decent lunch princess for Clarinha.
car go down and help Clarinha, Ignatius takes her free hand, since I'm holding the other, and entered the big house.
- Clarinha! - Alana screams and runs to us, taking the Clarinha in her lap. - I'm Alana aunt. - It appears, and Clarinha look at it and then at me and Ignatius.
- Who is Clarinha?
- Mom chose your name, when you were still in the belly - Ignatius explains. - She wanted her name was Clara. And if you had stayed with us, it is called so, not Victoria. Everyone here knows you by Clarinha.
- Do you enjoy horse? - Question as if it was an important point, forgetting the name issue, as if you were all right.
- If I like? I love riding, I have a mare named Princess, if you want I show you later.
- I want, I love horse, dog, calf, I had a bull, Ignatius bought the Alvorada. I want to see Dawn, I miss him, he's my friend - talk fast and I know that Alana's understanding everything, since it does the same thing.
- I promise to show you the whole farm and all the animals were born puppies this week.
- Doggies? I always wanted one.
- So, you'll win one. I'll help you choose.
- Thank you, Alana aunt.
- I love you, Clarinha.
The Clarinha looks at her and then at us, confused.
- What was Clarinha? - Alana question.
- You love Me?
- Love, princess.
- No one ever said you love me, just Ceci and Ignatius - she speaks softly, and Ignatius takes our daughter on her lap.
- I love you, love, love - he speaks, punctuating, kissing her face and neck.
- For, it tickles. - She cries out laughing, and he stops.
- Here everybody loves you, Clarinha.
- Can I finally meet my niece? - Mari asks, approaching.
- Clarinha, this is your Aunt Mari, the best friend of the mother and uncle Diogo, her boyfriend.
- Hi, Clarinha.
- Hi, Aunt Mari.
- You are beautiful. But what I could expect, a beautiful mother and a cat father, this girl could be a doll. - Mari smiles and then looks at Ignatius. - Get ready, because when this girl has the age of Alana, will have a lot of suitor.
- And I will hunt down every one of them - he says, scowling and away from it. I had no doubt that he would be a jealous father. - There is the canoe, he's the best friend's dad. - It continues the presentation. - And Luzi. If you want candy, cake, pie just ask for it, she does. And these two here. - He approaches the parents. - They are the Great Grandpa and Grandma Fatima.
- Hi Princess. - The Great smiled at her, which clings to Ignatius's neck.
- Hi.
- Fatima grandmother cries every night, you know - I speak, approaching me.
- Because?
- Because she dreams have a hug her and how she can not, she cries - speak and she looks at Grandma.
- Do not cry no more, Grandma, I'm here to hold you. - It extends the arms and Fatima the handle in her lap, her eyes filled with tears.
- Grandma will not cry, I promise.
- Grandpa gets hug?
- Win - she screams excited and goes to Magno's lap.
It passes from lap to lap in the family, and I know that is the need for everyone to catch her and make sure she's there.
- Who's hungry? - The Luzi question.
- I! - Raise the arms, and Ignatius laughed. - What is it?
- Nothing my Love. - It gives me a kiss.
- Come on, honey, I'll help you put your plate.
I grab a plate on the table, I'm going to Clarinha to the wood stove and start talking about what you have to eat.
- Want cauliflower?
- No - she speaks softly. - I do not like, but if you like, I like.
- Clarinha. - I give the dish to Ignatius who is behind it and me down. - I will not force you to eat something if you do not like. But cauliflower is good, then I will make a proposal to you.
- What?
- You are released eating now, but the night will make empanada cauliflower, which is the favorite food of the Father and you will have to eat a little tree at least if you decide you do not like, then do not force yourself to eat. Accepted?
- I accept.
- OK.
End to put her plate, to take to the table and then I'll do mine, Ignatius and I sat on either side of her, to have lunch.
- Lord Magnus, born three calves today - Canoe speech, while we eat.
- I can see? - Clarinha question lively, full mouth, and it takes the hands to the mouth.
- What, my love?
- Sorry for talking with his mouth full. - She lowers her eyes, and I feel very angry. It is the second time she does it, as if conditioned to apologize for everything.
- It's okay, honey, you got excited. I will not beat you - talk, and she raises her eyes to me.
- Not mad?
- Of course not.
- They beat you? - Ignatius asks, and she lowers her eyes again.
- When I do not obey - speak softly.
Lift the table and go to the outside, pull away as much as you can of the house, I can hear footsteps behind me and I know that Ignatius approaches.
- I'm going to kill that woman, Ignatius - cry, and he pulls me into his arms. - How have the courage to knock on our daughter?
- Calm down my love. You are pregnant and can not be nervous and another, our daughter is there, worried because you left. - He rubs my back. - I'm also nervous, but now we have to show our daughter how to love and she's safe.
- I can not help my murderous thoughts, Ignatius.
- Me neither. - He laughed and hold my face. - Our daughter is at home and nothing bad will happen to her. She's safe now.
We went home, and Clarinha looks at the door, I see you're concerned about the way I left, I again sit down and pull her onto my lap.
- I love you princess.
- Do not cry, Ceci. - She is a tenderness in my face, and I kiss her hair.
- I'm fine, honey. Now you finish eating.
- What will want dessert? - Ignatius question and look at him in disbelief, the girl had not even finished eating.
- Ice cream? - she asks.
- I have an ice cream pot at home - speech.
- So, your home is the best in the world - Clarinha speech, gesturing with his arm.
- Great, I want ice cream pots and jars that house. Grandma's house has to be the world's best - Fatima speaks, and we laugh.
- If you wish to ride an ice cream shop in this kitchen - he says and flashes to the Clarinha who is laughing.
- Ceci, Alana aunt has a horse, can I have one too? - Clarinha question after a while.
- I can actually already have to perfect one for you. He called Valente, is the son of Thunder. And it's the most beautiful colt in the world - speak, and Ignatius laughed.
- It is not beautiful, it's an ugly horse.
- He won the competition, yeah, and you owe me - I speak, and he winks at me, I'm sure he is already planning how to pay me what you owe.
- He is mine? - Clarinha question, and I agree. - Do not call my horse horrific. - She fights with her father, crossing his arms.
- Oh my God, is fully Cecilia. - Mari laughed and Ignatius sighs.
- I'm screwed with these two.
After lunch and against the will of all who wanted to stay with Clarinha, go to our home. After all, they knew how much we needed to just get the three of us.
Entered the house, and take Clarinha to the room that would be hers, she looks at all curious as Ignatius back your stuff.
- We can decorate the way you want - talk.
- I always wanted a room with horses.
- Then I'll paint horses in these walls - Ignatius answered and hugs me.
- Where's the ice cream? - I ask and he pulls me to the kitchen, with our daughter chasing. Serve the pots for them and sit in them to eat. The Clarinha eat so will that just mucking around the face and laugh. - You are dirty.
She starts to lower his eyes again, but Ignatius calls your name, and before I can say anything, he spends ice cream on face, littering and making our daughter laugh.
- You're worse than a child, Ignatius. - I fight with him, holding my face and rubs it in my, dirtying me all.
- You are also now dirty, Mom - Clarinha talks and we both look at it, give a kiss on your face and try to hold back the tears.
- Listen you call me Mom is the best sound in the world.
- I think I already love you and Dad. I do not know how - she says, shrugging, and Ignatius gets up running and kneels beside her.
- You are our daughter, there is no reason to love in the same way that there's no reason for us to love you. It is an unconditional, dear love. - She looks at us, and think for a moment.
- I want a little brother - Ask nothing, and we both we laugh.
- Well, if I say that here in Mommy's belly already has a growing little brother? - I ask, and she looks at my belly.
- I'm going to be a big sister?
- Go - Ignatius replied.
- So now I love my little brother too.
- And he loves you too.
After spending the entire afternoon helping Clarinha pack your stuff in the room and take a bath in it, prepare dinner for the three of us, as I imagined, she loved the empanada cauliflower, like his father. When she starts to get sleepy, we took her to the bedroom, where I tell a story to her and I cover when she sleeps.
- I would never do that with our daughter - I speak, and Ignatius hold me.
- Today is the best day in the world. - He kisses me, and we left the room, going to our. - And now?
- Now, my love, you will make love to me slowly, and show me how I am. - I speak, hugging his neck.
- Your order is an order, my queen.
