That was the exact and fragile moment, as Beatriz’s body was torn open without piety, something ancient and deeply dormant woke up inside Antônio.
Ele a olhou nos olhos, vendo-a no more as a functional presence, but as an incredibly strong and terrified woman. He promised her, and himself, that she would not be left helpless in any way.
What Antônio still didn’t know, as his brother ran Beatriz’s face and seemed to stop running, was that that moment of vulnerability in the kitchen would be just the estopim of an unimaginable turnaround.
The truth is that it would not be just tracing that upbringing to the world, but rather a brutal war that would wage our tribunes against shadows of the past, a fierce battle that would force us to prove where a man is capable of going to protect the family whose heart is hidden.
At Beatriz’s side it was nothing more than an intermittent wave than the voltava; It was a tempestuous ocean that engulfed itself, dragging it into a state of primitive urgency.
“I’m not going to give time, Senhor Antônio,” she engasgou, grabbing the sleeve of his expensive suit with an absurd force that breaks his white fingers. “The baby is descending. He has a very strong press… He wants to be born now.”
O panic ameaçou dominate Antônio’s sharp mind.
He was accustomed to resolving complex crises with bank transfers, board meetings and implacable lawyers, but all the money in the world has no power whatsoever over the implacable force of nature that was happening there, not in the heart of his house.
As tremendous as ever, his heartfelt link to Dr. Henrique, his doctor and trusted friend. In a calm and professional voice on the other side of the line was the anchor he desperately needed.
Under the doctor’s precise and urgent instructions, Antônio transformed his impeccable kitchen into a makeshift delivery room. He ran in search of clean towels with a towel, thick linens and pillows in the living room, protecting Beatriz in no way to turn it into the most comfortable place possible.
“Você consegue, Beatriz”, he said repeatedly, in a voice filled with emotion and adrenaline, as he was exugating his wife’s head. “You are not alone. You will never be alone again. We are going to tell each other together.”
The invisible social barrier between patron and employer has been completely broken. Ali, we were just a man and a woman fighting together for a new life.
Beatriz, a timid young woman who always lowered her head and falava lowered herself, became a strong warrior, focused solely on keeping her son safe.
With a last cry of extreme effort that echoes through all the walls of the mansão, the miracle of life takes shape. The sharp, vigorous and wonderful chorus of a new life torn or tense silence.
The little boy slipped for Antônio’s most trembling moments. Safe it with reverent care, cleaning its tiny skin and feeling the crushing and transformative weight of its fragile existence.
When the baby was placed on Beatriz’s face, the tears washed both of their faces. The extreme dor had become more pure happiness.
The ambulance arrived minutes later, in the organized chaos two paramedics took to the scene. Before being taken to maca, Beatriz olhou founded Antônio’s olhos.
“O senhor, I feel that I matter. That my life has value and dignity,” she whispered, exhausted, but with a radiant smile.
And he was in the ambulance, on the way to the São Lucas Hospital – the most expensive city, where Antônio had the absolute quest to provide with all the unimaginable costs, demanding the best room, 24-hour equipment and the best specialists – which he promised.
