Vivace Tempo

Eu concordei em me transferir de escola com Renan Braga, que sofria bullying, mas ele desistiu um dia antes de oficializarmos a matrícula. Seu amigo zombou dele. — Você é inacreditável, fingindo ser intimidado por tanto tempo só para se livrar da Clarinda. Mas vocês cresceram juntos, tem certeza de que quer deixá-la sozinha em uma escola estranha? — É apenas outra escola na mesma cidade, quão longe pode ser? — A voz de Renan era indiferente. — Estar com ela o tempo todo já estava me cansando. Um pouco de distância vai nos fazer bem. Naquele dia, fiquei parada do lado de fora da porta por um longo tempo e, no final, decidi ir embora. Só que no meu pedido de transferência, mudei a escola para aquela no exterior que meus pais queriam que eu frequentasse. Todos se esqueceram da diferença abismal entre a minha posição e a dele.

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?

Estava com uma pancreatite aguda. Fui ao hospital em busca de socorro, mas os médicos se recusaram a me tratar, pois o meu marido era médico do pronto-socorro e havia ordenado a todos que não me atendessem. Na minha vida passada, bastava uma ligação para que ele aparecesse imediatamente ao meu lado. Mas, depois que seu grande amor morreu num acidente, ele jogou a culpa em mim, como se eu fosse a responsável por cada desgraça que se seguiu. No aniversário da minha mãe, ele envenenou toda a minha família e, em seguida, me esfaqueou repetidas vezes com um bisturi. — Dói? Jackie sentiu muita dor antes de morrer. Se não fosse por você, ela não teria saído no meu lugar. Você a matou, então vou fazer você e sua família morrerem por ela! Enquanto ele falava, seus olhos estavam frios e enlouquecidos, e cada golpe era carregado de ódio, como se só assim pudesse aliviar a própria culpa. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia em que tive pancreatite aguda depois de beber até o limite por causa dele. Mas desta vez, ele correu até Jackie Morse sem a menor hesitação. Acreditou ter feito a escolha certa, convicto de que finalmente estava seguindo o próprio coração. Mais tarde, foi ele quem veio até mim, ajoelhando-se aos meus pés, implorando que eu o aceitasse de volta, como se arrependimento tardio pudesse apagar tudo o que havia feito.

“Congratulations on your wedding! Although we must have missed our invite in the mail. We’d like to catch up with…” There’s no reason to keep reading the mail beyond that point.
