JULIA, THE IDEAL WOMAN

It was already 7 p.m., Julia hasn't forgotten the appointment she has with Frank, so she tries to go but first, go see her mom.

_ JULIA: Mom?

_ MOTHER THERESE: Yes my daughter, are you going out?

_ JULIA: uh yes mum, I'm going to go get something from Josiane, she told me to come by at this time.

_ MOM THÉRÈSE: You know very well that I don't like your girlfriend there, I don't feel her and I really don't like you continuing to walk with her.

She approaches her mother and gives her a kiss on the forehead while smiling.

_ JULIA: I assure you, you're seriously mistaken, I don't know why you're suspicious of him, anyway, I'm going, I won't take long.

_ MOTHER THERESE: ok try to be careful with your steps.

Julia was uncomfortable, because she had to lie to her mother just to go see her lover Frank, they are often used to seeing each other in the bushes because he wanted a very quiet and comfortable place Without too many noises, obliged to see themselves a little far from their Can.

A few minutes Julia arrives and finds Frank's back, seated. She approaches silently up to him and blindfolds him with her tender hands.

_ FRANK: Julia, is that you??

_ JULIA: Yes it's me,

_ FRANK: honey

He hugs her.

_ JULIA: So you thought I wasn't going to come?

_ FRANK: You took enough time,

._ JULIA: Sorry, I had to come up with a convincing argument for Mom to let me out, even as I hate having to lie every time to come see you.

He approaches her and puts his right hand on her cheek while stroking.

_ FRANK: All this will end, you know how much I love you and I want the best for you!!! At some point we won't hide anymore and we'll show everyone that we're together.

_ JULIA: I really wish so, so tell me how the day was??

They sat down, glued tight without leaving anyone.

_ FRANK: Ah as usual, just that today I didn't have much to do. What did you tell your mama to be here

She started acting naughty

_JULIA: (while smiling) Well, I was going to Josiane's, but really I don't understand why mum doesn't like her, at every moment she has to warn me about my company with her.

_ FRANK: Ah, I'm not going to contradict your mum, we ourselves know that she has a character that's a bit not very Catholic.

_ JULIA: whatever, she can't hurt me.

_ FRANK: Ah, well, we're not here to talk about your mother or your so-called friend.

_ JULIA: Subscribe??? be called friend?

_ FRANK: I'll be honest with you, but I don't like it myself.

_ JULIA: You know what?? It's better for us to talk about other things.

_ FRANK: Here, come on

He walks up to her lips and kisses her tenderly, kisses for several minutes and then he puts his hand on her leg and pulls her up until she stops him.

_ JULIA: Frank please?

_ FRANK: what is it?? You do not like ?

_ JULIA: If I like it but I don't want to go far I tell you all the time

_ FRANK: Tell me you don't trust me??

_ JULIA: if I have confidence but I would like us to do it in a normal way, after the wedding.

_ FRANK: I told you that I would marry you, you know very well that I love you very much.

_ JULIA: Yes I know but if you love me a lot as you say respect my decision

She gets up sulking. When Frank noticed this, he too got up and approached her.

_ FRANK: My love, don't get angry, you know that I love you very much. Ok I respect your decision.

She turns around and looks him straight in the eyes.

_ JULIA: I know you have desires but I wouldn't like to do things and then have regrets. I love you too but be patient.

_ FRANK: Ok darling, anyway that's enough, let's sit down.

They continued to chat with smiles forming on their lips.

1h30 later.

_ JULIA: Ah, I have to go home, I'm sure mom is already worried.

_ FRANK: You're right, I wouldn't want me to have any problems, I'll go with you.

_ JULIA: Thank you very much.

This is how he accompanies Julia and leaves her in front of her house.

She was all stressed, afraid of the reaction that her mom was going to show but when she entered her mom was already sleeping. She closed all the doors and went to her room but before that she prayed for a few minutes and fell asleep afterwards.

NEXT MORNING

Julia was still sleeping until her mom came to wake her up.

_ MOTHER THERESE: Hello my darling, are you still sleeping?? It's almost 8 o'clock

_ JULIA: Ah yes mom hello… sorry really. You slept well??

_ MOTHER THERESE: Yes, I slept well and I am currently going to the market to sell. Please get up and fix the house.

_ JULIA: Already?? ok mom i got it

_ MOTHER THERESE: ok my daughter, I'm going

_ JULIA: May God protect you….

While her mom was on her way, behind her got up and started with the chores.

A few minutes later, her friend Josiane arrives at the house.

_JOSIANE: Hey hello sweetie,

_ JULIA: Ah hello, are you there?'

_ JOSIANE: Of course I'm here…. You work.

_ JULIA: Yes yes..

_ JOSIANE: Otherwise, what's new?

_ JULIA: Well nothing special, I find you a little too happy, tell me.

_ JOSIANE: I assure you, I'm happy. Yesterday I met a nice guy, I assure you.

_ JULIA: You with your guy stories.

_ JOSIANE: Wait, let me tell you, yesterday he invited me to a chic place in this very village, as I would have preferred it to be in town… Apparently he was coming to see his family and everything…. In short, it is not better there. He invited me over and we chatted and everything. When he asked for my number, I told him I didn't have a phone and guess what?? He wasted no time and immediately got me a Look at Yourself phone.

_ JULIA: Ouch Josiane, with all the phones you cash in with every guy you meet, aren't you tired?? It's not a life huh

_ JOSIANE: Ah leave me with your advice there.

_ JULIA: you're my friend, stop showing off with different guys, be serious and try to be with one guy.

_ JOSIANE: Are you referring to your relationship with Frank?? Julia I always told you that this guy is not for you… he doesn't like you.

_ JULIA: Ok if you say so…

_ JOSIANE: Entouca, that's your problem.

_ JULIA: okay

Josiane has always had to denigrate Julia and Frank's relationship since they have been together. But despite everything Julia never listened to his mouth and continues her love for him.
