Vilu realized what Angie meant by "living what she had to live", at this moment she had to worry about her: her life, her projects and perhaps most importantly her realationship with Leon ; she knew that Angie was right, his father refined, he screamed, he irritated; but he loved her and little by little he was realizing that she had grown up, Clara was still so small and she had many years to go; and when it was her time she would have Angie and her big sister, she would not be alone as Vilu had been.

- But we were talking about Leon, you did not argue for sure ... you were talking about him so passionately ...- and then Olga and Clarita enter.

- But no one hears my little girl, she's crying, and crying, and crying ...- she only whimpered, but to Olga it was as if she were screaming in her lungs.

- Oh, my little one. Thank you Olga, she was asleep when I went up, did not want to wake her. But what about Germen, he should be treating her?

- Mr. Germen ... he's been on the phone for over an hour. It seems that you do not know him: when those two get into the office, the house can fall that they do not even notice.

- Thank you Olguita, what would I do without you ...

- You, Angie ... what would my little girl do without me ..."

- Olga, but your little girl was not me ... - Vilu says trying to get in with Olga ... - I stopped being, now that you have Clara?

- Oh ... no my little girl. It's both are, but Clara is so little, and you are so grown up...but you are my ... - Olga began to look at Clara and Vilu, not knowing who to call "little girl"; she had raised Violetta after Maria had died and started calling her "little girl" since that time, but now with Clara, that beautiful baby girl who already felt like her girl ... she did not even know who to call what, distressed she gives Clara to Angie and leaves very sad and confused.

- Olga ... Olga ... - calls Vilu, but Olga has left the room, then she fixes her eyes on Clara that meanwhile Angie had laid on the bed.

- I think you have to go talk to her later, Vilu ... Vilu, are you here?

- Sorry, Angie, it's just that sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I have a sister ... I always thought about what it would be like to have one, but ...

- So what about Ludmila?"

- Ludmila! What about Ludmila?

- She was and is a sister to you, is not she?

- Well, in spite of her "special temper" we had and have a relationship similar to what sisters have, do we not?

- I never thought to say this, but you managed to be more than sisters: you are friends, companions, accomplices ...

- But Ludmila she's changed, she fell in love ... and there was all that with Priscilla.

- I never thought to watch this day, after what happened between you: the discussions, the conflicts ...

- Leon, just told me the same thing ...

- You see, we all think you did a miracle with Ludmila.

- She was not that bad either, she was just ... unhappy.

- You see the good side of everyone dou you not?

- Angie, she lived with Priscilla who saw her as na "object", separated from a father who loved her ... she had no love from anyone.

- Yes, it is true, I still do not understand how Priscilla could do so much harm to her own daughter without ever realizing it. Luckily she met good friends and today she is very different from what she was.

- Fred was the best thing that ever happened to her. But when I look at Clara ... it's different I do not know how to explain what I feel ...

- You do not explain Vilu, I think you feel ...

- Angie, what was Mummy like as sister? How did you get along?

- Your mother was ... she was wonderful. Maria was more than a sister: she was a friend, a companion, an accomplice sometimes, a confidant ...

- Tell me everything I want to know everything. If youargued, if you were punished, if you made misbehabe...

- We had a big difference in age ... but I think we were like all the sisters: sometimes accomplices sometimes we were angry with each other, well I was angry with her because Maria could't be angry with me for long.

- Why? - Vilu asks excitedly to learn more about her mother.

- Well, I told you we had a big age difference, and your mother sometimes liked being more than just a big sister ... she liked being my mother and I did not like it at all. But when she wanted, she could be very childish ... more than I was then.

- And grandma did not get upset, as Mommy was so close to you?

- I do not know, he never said anything to us, so I do not think so.

- Angie, do you think Clara will see me just like you say my Mom?"

- I'm sure, having a sister whether she's older or younger is very special. When I look at you, I remember your mother so much, and I miss her so much. Even when she performed as my mother, I knew she did it for my sake.

- I liked to remember more abou mom, but I remember so little.

- But you know you can ask us anything you want about your mother?

- I know but sometimes I do not know what my memories are; if I lived them with her or if they are just images that come with what you tell me, if they are just imagination.

- And what difference does it make, even those that you do not remember and that are only the memories that I have, your father's, your grandmother's ... all happened, they were all lived and true, or not?

- Yes and no. I like to remember more things, you and Daddy tell me many things, grandmother also and I have her Diary, the photographs, the clothes and everything that is stored in the attic, but sometimes I feel that you have had her.. .

- You feel that it was a little, that you had her for a little while. Oh Vilu! I know it was not fair, that you had her for so little time ... but ...

- I do not want you to think that I am whineing, but I miss what I did not have: the conversations, the shared secrets; I know that it must sound out weird.

- No, I think it's normal, but you know you have us. I know I'm not your mother ... but you know you can always count on me, always.

- I know, and I love you. - they embrace each other as if they really were mother and daughter, deep down they feel like that.

- You know sometimes when I look at Clara and think of everything that has happened to us in this time that has passed: to meet you, to live with you, to save you whenever you needed to, to see you follow your dreams and to find your way ...

-To fall in love with Dad?

- Yes, falling in love with your father! What we went through, what we suffered for denying what we felt, what we suffered when we were trying to hide what we felt for each other ...

- I never understood why you two denied something we all saw ... it was so obvious.

- Because I think we adults always make it difficult especially when it comes to love.

- Difficult? You complicated what was simple; Angie! You liked each other, everyone could see only you and dad could not.

- It was so visible, I always tried to disguise ...

- It was written in your eyes, in the gestures ... I think I even saw it written on your forehead.- And she laughed.

- You are so Funny ... it was not that easy, at least for us.

- Of courseit was: he loved you, you loved him; It was not that complicated.

- It was complicated for your father and even for your grandmother. I was your mother's sister, your father's sister-in-law; and then there was the fact that your father separated us from you, taking you away from us.

- Angie, we must never contradict wahto our heart wants ...

- Wow, how clever and romantic is my niece ...- and tries to tickle her, but Vilu manages to escape ... - Fortunately we do not choose who we fall in love with. And I was lost in love for your father, in spite of everything that was supposed to drive us away, even though my head sent me away. - Angie is thrilled, and she drops one or another tear she can not help herself.

- Angie, do not cry, please, or I'll cry too.

- I'm not crying ...- and recovering ... - but we were talking about you and Leon, what happened?"

- Nothing Angie, nothing special has happened. - She looked at Vilu with such a determined look that it was impossible not to tell her anything. - Well, we're closer than ever. it's been magic all this time, we do not even need to say anything to each other anymore.

- How come? - asks Angie

- It's just that with one look, one gesture, and we realize immediately what the other wants.

- That's good Vilu, you were needing to stop hurting each other: to know each other better, to see what makes the other happy or sad.

- Is that what happened to you and Daddy?

- Yes, I think you can say that, although it took us so long to assume what we felt ...

- No ... what an idea ... it took a good few years.- and she laughed with a sarcastic smile.

- Vilu! You're very funny today, are you not ...

- Sorry, but I can not help it ... Sorry.

- I think in our case, we met first, before we assumed what we felt. And thanks to you, Leon and what you did ... we finally managed to take what we felt and from there everything became easier.

- Because you made what was so simple so damm complicated.

- Maybe ... but how do you define what is simple and what is complicated? Each one of us has its definition do we not?

- Yes, you are right, not everything is so easy or difficult, depends on what you are talking about ...

Violetta began again to wonder if she should say anything about that night with Leon; she had always told Angie everything, had never hidden a secret from her and knew she could trust her; but that NIGHT had been something very special and intimate for them, something she had shared only with Leon and only with him. It was true that Andres, Camila and Francesca know about everything; and although she could not explain why, she felt that telling her aunt would be different, and deep down she wanted it to go on like this: just between the two of them. So trying to disguise what was going on in her soul, she began to play with Clara, who was looking at her curiously, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Leon slowly opened the door. Vilu could not help thinking how he guessedthat she was thinking of him, it was as if he had realized she wanted him: his kiss, his embrace, his love ...

- Leon, come in. We were talking about you. - Angie tells him.

- Can I; Olga said to go up, and to tap slowly ... something like "Her Little One" maybe sleeping?

- Clarita was the one she was talking about, come in, is she not beautiful?" - and he hug Vilu.

- Yes, she's beautiful, congratulations Angie ... but without wanting to offend anyone ... you are much more beautiful.

- Hello Leon, thank you for the compliments, and I did not get offended, as they both are gorgeous. I leave you alone and take this little girl to bed. - Knowing what Germen was like if he knew that Leon was with Vilu in the room ...- Behave, your father is home!

- Yes, you can rest easy. - Angie catches Clara and leaves them alone - You know I do not know what to do when you're not with me! I feel an emptiness ... I can not explain.

- I knew, because I feel the same. But, now you have a little sister, I'm afrai that I really going to pass into the background ...

- Leon! Are you jealous? I can not believe you're jealous of Clara.

- I do not know, you tell me ... should I?

- No, I love you ... Clara is my sister, but you are ... everything to me.

- I was just kidding, but I like to know that I'm everything to you ... and I love you too.

- Leon ...- Embrace him and at the same time give him a light kiss. - Can you stay for dinner?

- Maybe, if you ask me very nicely ...

- Why? You think I did not ask nicely?

- I think you have to be more convincing than that ...- and as if they had not seen each other for a long time they hugged, their love was enormous, there were no words between them, they knew exactly what they wanted, how to speak without saying anything; quickly the embrace and the innocent kisses become something more first there were inocente but full of pashion, then they became more anda more hot and suddenly ...

- Violetta! -Germen enters the room.

- Dad... I ... we ...- Vilu was so nervous ... that nothing came out of her ...

- What does that mean? I can not believe ... I can not trust you.

- Dad, do not knock on the door?- Vilu was clearly anxious and nervous.

- It's a good thing I did not hit, and got in when I came. Because I do not even want to imagine ...

- Why are you reacting like this? We were just ... we were not doing anything ...

- Leon ... - and shows Leon the door ... - Please you know where is the door out ...

- If Leon leaves, I'll leave, too. You can not continue to treat me like a child, I grew up; Will you never notice?

- You grew up? Is this growing Vilu? No, this is ... it's ... I can not even tell you what this is, but it's not growing. Leon, do not make me say it three times ...

- Germen I'm sorry, I go because I do not want to create more problems ... but we were not doing nothing much, seriously it was just a kiss ... - seeing that Germen was still very angry ... - a kiss of girl and boyfriends, nothing more.

- A kiss of girl and boyfriends ... just a kiss! It was just a kiss, because I came in, if I had not entered ... and I do not want to imagine ...

- Dad! And what is the harm of a kiss? And even if something else had happened, that did not happen, what would be the problem?

- The problem is precisely this, is that everything is allowed for you, everything is acceptable but it is not so. There are rules in this house Violetta and as much as you do not like them you have to comply.

- Waht are you saying exactly?That if Ido not fulfill your "rules" you punish me! I grew up, Dad, I'm not a five-year-old girl, that when I do something wrong, you punish me. Besides, you know Leon and I are boyfriends ...

- I do not want to hear any more, I trusted you and look what happened. This whole boy thing is over, you hear? And you're grounded ...

- You can not forbid me to see Leon, Dad you can not continue to react like this, we were not doing anything wrong ...

- With these attitudes you leave me no choice but to think that you are still a child. And this conversation ends: this relationship is over. Leon, please. - And he indicates the door again ... - And you Violetta do not even think about disobeying me ...

- You can not be serious; Dad, you're not going to drive me away from Leon, you're not going to ... I love him and you're not going to ban me from him ... and you're not going to send him away because ...

- Why what Violetta? I'm still your father ... and I'm the one setting the rules here, right? That's why Leon- pointing to the bedroom door for the third time.

- Vilu, everything is allrigth ... - and when he's about to leave ...

Angie, who had already gone downstairs, was in the kitchen talking to Olga and Ramalho when she heard the first shout of Germ, and went up to Vilu's room. When it arrives the first impulse was to end that discussion, but she decided to stay and watch since she wants to know to what extent Vilu and Gérmen can solve their problems alone. In this way, she listens to the shouts of one and the other, both of them respond to the provocations of each other, but nothing seems to calm them or make them silent, when Leon prepares to leave she decides to intervene, she had heard enough, both begin to climb the tone of their voices and before someone ends up saying something they should not ...

- Germen! Vilu! Are you listening to yourself's ...

- It was dad that started, he's sending Leon away ...

- I! Now it was me ... you know why I'm doing this ...

- Enough! Can anyone explaines to me what happened after all? - all of them became silent - Can anyone explain, please?

- What's happening is that Dad is still the same ... he continues to treat me like a little girl.

- Vilu. - Leon says that realizing that this is a conversation between the two ... - We talk later seriously ... - and headed for the door.

- Thank you Leon, at least someone here is listening to me ...

- Dad! Leon, you're not going anywhere; And if you go I'll go too ...

- Vilu! Enough ... your father may not even be right ... but he's your father. Angie reprimanded, because in spite of everything Germen was her father, and as such she had to respect him.

- Angie's right, you can not talk to me with that voice, I'm your father. And then what happens is that Angie can not trust my daughter, they were alone in the room to ...

- Kissing! You can tell her Dad, what's wrong with this, Angie? It's something so wrong, so anormal: we date, kiss, embrace ...

- And you still say it like that, as if it were banal, as if it were correct,if it was all so normal.

- Because it's normal, because there's nothing wrong with it; Because that's what boyfriends do. Or do not you do it with Angie?

- Vilu, do not get me into this ... - says Angie that is interrupted by Germen.

- Me and Angie are married, and besides we're adults. You, you ... you're a girl.

- I'm not a kid anymore, I grew up! But you do not even realize that...

Angie had given up intervening, every time she tried to calm one of them, the other would always say something else, and there they would start again with an exchange of words; It seemed that whenever she tried to reassure them it made it worse. So she ended up watching the discussion, looking either at Germen or at Violetta; It was as if she were watching a game of Tennis and the ball was "topped" from side to side.

Then she would look at Leon, who was not sure what to do, or what to say, she looked again to the father and the daughter that continued to argue, to say probably what they wanted and what they did not want; they kept on exchanging words without caring that there were two other people in that room besides them, completely oblivious to all the confusion of meaningless arguments: while one retorted something, then the next one answered with something even harder. Angie did not even know if she was going to interrupt, she was as lost as Leon who looked at Angie as if asking for some solution.

- I'll tell you, you're getting more and more out of control "...

- Dad, do you know what the problem is? It's not that you do not know that I grew up, because you know ... the problem is that you do not want to see that I grew up.

- You see, do you think having these attitudes is to be grown? Answer me that's how you grow up ... no, you're just a spoiled girl and ... and ...

- And what, Dad? What? I just arrived and we're already discussing ... for the one thing that I thought you had already accepted ...

- It is one thing to accept that you have grown, another thing is to accept this ... and this I do not accept nor tolerate.

- What? My relationship? I knew ... I knew you were the same ... you're never going to change, ever.

Finally Angie decides to interrupt, they had already talked too much. It was time to stop them, before any of them said anything else they did not want or should not. Besides, that argument was not going to work, they were both stubborn and quite proud, and each would defend his truth to the end.

- Enough. Please, you're going to wake Clarita. Vilu, Leon please go help Olga in the kitchen, she's sure to have something for you to do ...

- Angie ... but ...

- Vilu, go ... go with Leon. And you Germen! We have to talk, let's go to the office.
