André was the youngest of a radically religious family, made up of four people: His mother, a social worker widely recognized for the public services rendered in favor of minor offenders, by whom she spared no effort to free them from drugs and the world of crime , where they lived on the margins of society. His father, an orthodox evangelical pastor, extremely rigid as to the morality and liturgical customs of his church, and Rogério, his older brother who despised him because of his homosexuality.The couple's two children were brought up from an early age according to the Pentecostal Christian doctrine imposed by the religious leader. Preparing them to continue their pastoral ministry in the future. However, he was never fully accepted and loved by his father, due to his effeminate way that made him different from the other brother. Disagreements were constant between the couple because of this and the family atmosphere was almost always unbearable:&n

 In the analysis of future psychology, homosexuality is a reversible condition of human character, an optional stage of their sexuality that can be changed, no moment when a man or woman decides to say no this is the desire to be his own nature , and tries to convince you of this: — You, like other people, may even be born with a homosexual tendency, but that does not mean that you are forced to live in such conditions, it is a choice, an option — But how to say no to a desire that burns within us? How do we have the strength to find that crazy desire that we feel involves other people similar to us, when using the opposite sex? You have no idea how hard it is to fight against yourself, it's a battle that is almost always lost — André, we have been friends for some time, you are ten years old today and you maintain that time without any sexual involvement, whether as a homosexual or not, you are still pure, virgin. Different from those who were weaker an

— Then why don't you give up this shameful condition and assume your masculine side? — You talk like it's an easy thing to do — It may not be easy, but it is certainly not impossible, just effort. Homosexuality is just a psychological decline, a moral flaw that comes in the bag when we are born and that, if not practiced completely disappears from our lives, it is only a desire contained in the sexuality of the man or woman that must be vehemently combated — You seem to have been born to be a psychologist, you know how to convince your patients that they can really change the course of their lives — I am not only trying to convince you of this truth, but also to make you understand that all of us, human beings, have the power to change who we are, regardless of what we become, there are possible ways of exchanging our weaknesses for great virtues. Has a criminal, for example, been born with a tendency to commit crimes? Of course not, can he acquire su

But the trajectory of successive events in André Borges' turbulent life had not yet ended, and on New Year's Eve, when he celebrated the entry of the new year with Karla and in the company of friends, employees and customers in one of his finest restaurants, a development recently built on the most important avenue in the city, he met Rafael. The twenty-three-year-old was an Air Force cadet, handsome in appearance and very manly. They were introduced by Fabiana, a regular at the establishment, who was gradually gaining the entrepreneur's respect and friendship. Without Karla noticing, the two entered into a long and very attractive conversation to both. In fact, there started to be a strong attraction between them and Rafael invites André to visit him in the duplex the next day. Located there, very close to the restaurant. The rest of the night consisted of frequent exchanges of looks and Karla, completely involved in the party. At no time did he realize what was happening.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon, the sun was setting over the river and the girl's gaze rested on the serene movement of the waters, when a stranger approaches the small shore on the banks of Guajará and in the distance she watches him, an elegant man, thoughtful and with an air of sadness that left him far away, even though he was present a few meters from where she was.  Everything indicated that this meeting was not at all casual, destiny traced one more of his various plans to take the character of the story that he himself created to live another great adventure. The elegant and sad-faced man, who remained leaning on the parapet made of dough and bricks, whose traces of expressions spread across the tired and hopeless look was called Vitor, and came from a past made of great disappointments in love. She watched in silence, admiring him in secret. After some time, realizing that he seemed distant in his own thoughts, Karla decided to approach to try a co

That morning, when Karla arrived at her office, she was announced that a visitor was waiting for her from an early age. It was Vitor who would be there to clarify some personal issues, since after the last disagreement due to his constant absences they were incommunicado and, despite many calls, he was not answered. The boyfriend's unexpected presence seemed to bother her: — Could I know the reason for this visit to my workplace, so soon? — Good morning my dear! The answer is quite simple: If the mountain does not go to Muhammad, he will go to it — Well then, be brief in your speech, Vitor, because I have a lot to do here! — As far as I'm concerned, you entrusted me with the responsibility of continuing the administration of this institute because you wanted to dedicate yourself more to serving the public directly in the most, needy communities, doing a social work that I admit to be important. However, this is not what I see happening. As far as I'm

 On the night of that same day, Roberta dared to visit Karla to try to redeem herself for her attitudes that led her to become sexually involved with her, recognizing that she took advantage of her affective need, using her experiences of conquest to influence her in this sense. However, the result was not what was expected and when she knocked on the door of her friend's apartment she was surprised by her sudden outburst: — How dare you still come here after what you did to me? Please leave and don't look for me anymore! — Calm down, friend, let's talk! — You took advantage of my moment of weakness to use our friendship in order to awaken in me filthy desires that I loathe, and because of weakness I let myself be dominated, but I don't want to practice it again in my life, so stay away from take this curse with you!  When he said these words, he closed the door with great impetus and the visitor left in shame.  His gaze contemplating t

It was a Saturday, the afternoon heat at that time of year was intense, especially in a region with arid climate, André and Karla returned to Sueli's house and Alberto, was the prodigal son seeking peace with his family once again. It was your mother who saw them first, running and hugging them very tenderly. As they approached the courtyard, they could see an elderly man sitting on a rocking chair, whose structure was made of iron, but covered with handmade material. Very comfortable, he moved in it slowly, in a quiet swing, admiring the various plants in the yard. Sueli warned them that it was Alberto who had been in that situation for several months after being affected by Alzheimer's, part of his body paralyzed and could not even speak. André approached cautiously, the man had a frozen look, fixed on the trees that danced with the gentle wind blowing, he kneels in front of his father who seemed distant from there, and speaks lovingly:  — Dad? ... It's me, yo
