Special Case

Larissa Moretti viveu um namoro de cinco anos. Intenso o bastante para virar notícia em Aurimare. No dia de assinar os papéis do casamento, ele simplesmente... não apareceu. Ali, a paciência dela morreu. Larissa terminou. O noivo virou ex. E ela jurou: não voltaria atrás. Nunca. Só que a engrenagem do destino não parou. Um telefonema mudou tudo. Por puro orgulho, Larissa se casou com Arthur Vasconcelos, o homem frio com quem mal falava, e o irmão mais velho do seu ex. Arthur era o homem mais cobiçado de Aurimare. Brilhante, intocável. Foi ele quem levantou um império financeiro que atravessava fronteiras. Um magnata que o mercado respeitava. E, quando o nome Vasconcelos era citado, até gente poderosa baixava a voz. Depois do casamento, porém, Arthur só tinha uma regra: Larissa. Ele a tratava como raridade. Protegia, cedia, colocava o mundo em ordem com a mesma naturalidade com que tirava um fio de cabelo do rosto dela. Até o dia em que o ex a humilhou, chamando-a de inútil, como se ela não valesse nada. Arthur nem discutiu. Um soco seco. O irmão dele no chão. Ele se inclinou um pouco, a voz baixa: — Minha esposa é o meu tudo. Não existe joia neste mundo, por mais rara e brilhante, que chegue perto da luz dela. Tudo o que for dela, eu apoio. Insulte-a de novo e você está fora da família Vasconcelos. Para sempre. Só muito tempo depois Larissa entenderia. O homem que ela sempre temeu a amava havia dez anos. E aquele "casamento por impulso"? Foi um plano paciente. Um laço doce armado para ela cair... e nunca mais querer sair.

No dia do casamento, Afonso entrou tarde no salão, de braço dado com sua primeira paixão, vestindo o traje de padrinho. O terno do noivo? Jogado de qualquer jeito no sofá, num claro sinal de desordem. — Afonso, hoje não é o nosso casamento... — Júlia. — Ele interrompeu, com uma voz fria, cheia de aviso enquanto olhava para mim firme. — Você sabe muito bem o que pode e o que não pode dizer. Seja madura, não me faça te odiar. Só pude soltar um sorriso amargo. Tudo isso aconteceu porque a primeira paixão de Afonso perdeu a memória. Desde então, todos ao redor entraram nesse teatro coletivo para ajudá-la a recuperar as lembranças. Ninguém podia permitir que ela se sentisse perturbada. Para manter a paz, Afonso até tentou me consolar, aproximando-se para um abraço e murmurando ao meu ouvido: — Juju, você entende meu lado, certo? Acenei em silêncio, e fui capaz de me desprender de tudo ao segurar a mão do verdadeiro padrinho e seguir de cabeça erguida rumo ao altar. No entanto, mais tarde, enquanto eu, grávida, fazia compras no shopping, Afonso apareceu diante de mim, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas. — Juju, não estávamos apenas atuando todo esse tempo? Como você pôde engravidar?

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.

Os dois irmãos com quem eu ia me casar... Se apaixonaram pela filha adotiva da minha família. Para agradá-la, me enganaram para raspar a cabeça e me trancaram sozinha numa estação de esqui por uma noite inteira. Por causa do pedido dos meus pais, eu suportei tudo em silêncio. Mas naquele dia, quando a filha adotiva cortou o dedo ao fatiar frutas, eles me obrigaram a doar 2000ml de sangue no hospital. Chorando, supliquei que parassem. Eles apenas disseram que aquilo era o castigo por eu maltratar a princesinha deles. Foi ali que meu coração morreu de vez. Virei as costas... E entrei no carro do irmão mais velho deles. Os dois, que viviam dizendo que queriam romper o noivado, apareceram no meu casamento... Chorando de arrependimento.
