WHO OF US IS THE INTRUDER

– Pregnant! – I ask, surprised. I am not moved by the news. I don’t know if it was because of the many emotions I had that day or if this news really doesn’t move me. I was surprised; that was the only emotion I could express. However, Tiago seems terrified, he looks at me speechless. I don’t understand his reaction. The doctor, seeing us surprised by the joke, says:

– Just kidding, guys! The patient can now receive visitors. She is in room 09. – He says this and leaves, probably to see another patient.

I walk towards the room, look back and see that Tiago is not with me. I ask him to come; he looks at me, hesitating.

– You better go alone, João! It's your and Sandra's moment. – He says and sits down again.

I don't accept his refusal. I go to him and take him by the arm. How come he can't be part of this moment? He's the love of my life, my boyfriend, my wife's best friend.

– Come with me! – I say, pulling him by the arm. He follows me shyly.
