Fernando Rocha finalmente aceitou meu pedido de casamento. Ele fez questão de me lembrar para me vestir bem, dizendo que ele havia preparado uma surpresa especial para mim. Mas, quando cheguei deslumbrante ao local da cerimônia, não havia noivo no altar. Fernando virou-se para a minha meia-irmã, que estava ao lado dele, e sorriu: — Você sempre disse que casamentos são chatos e cheios de formalidades. Hoje, vou te mostrar como é um casamento divertido. O que acha? O mestre de cerimônias então anunciou, em voz alta: — O casamento está suspenso! O meu amigo de infância puxou o balão de água que já estava estrategicamente preparado acima da minha cabeça, estourando-o e me molhando da cabeça aos pés. Fernando arqueou as sobrancelhas, com um sorriso provocador, e disse: — Nilda, era só uma brincadeira. Você não achou mesmo que eu ia me casar com você, achou? Aquele casamento não passava de uma farsa, uma encenação planejada para animar a minha meia-irmã, que estava lutando contra uma depressão. Ao me ver em silêncio, Fernando continuou com o mesmo tom zombeteiro: — Se você está com tanta pressa para casar, escolha qualquer um dos convidados aqui e case com ele! Mas, quando eu realmente entrei de braços dados com um noivo para celebrar a cerimônia, eles ficaram atordoados.

No dia do julgamento, meu noivo, Tiago Assis, me pediu para não insistir mais na defesa da minha inocência e me pediu para assinar o acordo de confissão. — Eu sei que você é inocente, mas a Barbara está grávida de um filho meu. Eu não posso deixá-la ir para a cadeia. — Ele segurou minha mão, com lágrimas nos olhos. — Mari, eu também estou fazendo isso pelo seu próprio bem. Sem hesitar, assinei o acordo de confissão. Na vida passada, eu não aceitei assumir o crime no lugar da Barbara Lins. Como resultado, não só fui para a cadeia do mesmo jeito, como também fui torturada por ordem de Tiago até ficar estéril para o resto da vida. Agora que voltei no tempo, escolhi satisfazer o desejo dele. No dia seguinte, as notícias sobre meu suposto roubo de informações confidenciais se espalharam por todos os lugares. Barbara chegou a se apresentar como testemunha: — Sim, foi ela! Eu vi ela invadindo o Grupo Lopes com meus próprios olhos! Mas, à tarde, na audiência, o denunciante, Ricardo Lopes, retirou o processo e desistiu da ação. Sob os olhares surpresos de todos, ele tirou um anel de diamante e se ajoelhou diante de mim. — Mari, você aceita se casar comigo?
