from where you could
see part of the garden. A little further down, the last room was impressive
with a beautiful wooden table and worked chairs, possibly by hand, such as the
beauty of the design. In that room there were fabric blinds leaving the room a
little more formal and reserved. A sideboard with flowers and a large oval
mirror in the background was in the center, just behind the large table. Two
pictures, one on each wall, completed the lush and well made decor.
     Everything was marvelous
in her eyes. Realizing her approval, Antônio took her arm and took her to see
the rooms upstairs. A polished wooden staircase, and also worked, went up like
a snail and light from above showed almost everything that left her dazed. They
came to a large room with huge windows which also opened onto the garden. The
room colors were light, giving it an air of romance. A huge bed in the center
with beautiful small paintings adorning the bedside. The blinds were installed
across a glass wall where one could see the back of the house.
    - Come see something. - He
picked up her hand again and they went to the closet that opened up to a door. When
it was opened a huge closet emerged next to a beautiful bathroom with a bathtub
that fit two people together and more. Amanda admired so much beauty.
    - This will be our room. Did
you like it? - He asked.
    - It is beautiful,
Antônio. I have no words to describe such beauty. - She said jubilant. Amanda
had forgotten that home would not be hers for too long. It seemed that the
house would be her blossoming place for many years. That was the feeling that
consumed her every step she took there. Looking again at the space suddenly
something caught her attention, almost breaking the spell. - But will we share
the same bed? - she asked self-consciously.
    - Do not worry, when we sleep
together I will use that sofa bed. - He pointed at a corner.
    - All right. - She said
knowing that it would be less problematic for both.
    - Come with me. I want you
to see Lucas’s room. Down the hall he opened a door and they went in.
    - It is beautiful
Antônio!! - She remarked in admiration. As in the previous room, it was all in plain,
discreet shades, including the furniture. There were toys on the various
shelves taking part of a wall. The child’s wallpaper caught her attention
because it had characteristics of her child. “That must have been a
coincidence," she thought. A computer and a study table stood in the
corner, ready to be used. But it was with the bathroom that she was enthralled.
The walls were fun. The tiles were all decorated from the floor to the ceiling.
There was also a bathtub with toys around it. It was a space where any child,
even those who did not like bathing, would be happy and feel like real
children.
    - It is all very beautiful
Antônio!! Where did you get inspiration to do all this? - She wanted to know.
    - Your son helped me a
lot. - He confessed. - Although I have none and cannot have children, I know
how to observe the likes of a child - he boasted.
    - Maybe one day you can
adopt one. - She said changing the subject, knowing that even as an old piece
of information, Antônio still suffered from it.
    - Would you accept him? -
He asked surprising her. “Why did he want to know her opinion?" she
wondered.
    Of course I would. There
are so many children in need of a home, I would adopt one for sure. - She
replied.
    Great! - He exclaimed. Amanda
smiled spontaneously when he pulled her to continue the exploration. Shall we? -
He suggested.
    - Gentlemen first. - She
pointed and followed. - Amanda was looking forward to seeing more of the
beautiful house where she would live for as long as the agreement existed.
    The other rooms were also
very beautiful, each with its own bathroom, airy and with a couple of chairs at
one of the ends. In the small kitchen everything was planned and modern. The
utensils were all organized and clean.
    - Do you have someone
coming to take care of the house? - She
