timidly in the streets, and the decorated stores welcomed the last customers in search of gifts.Pb: No meio dessa atmosfera festiva, Mateus caminhava em direção ao café de seu pai, que ficava a algumas quadras da praia.En: Amidst this festive atmosphere, Mateus was walking towards his father's café, which was a few blocks from the beach.Pb: Era um dia qualquer para muitos, mas para Mateus, era o reencontro com um passado que ele pensava ter deixado para trás.En: It was just another day for many, but for Mateus, it was a reunion with a past he thought he had left behind.Pb: O café de João era conhecido pelo aroma inconfundível dos grãos que ele mesmo torrava.En: João's café was known for the unmistakable aroma of the beans he himself roasted.Pb: A fachada simples escondia o aroma rico e envolvente que preenchia o ar assim que a porta era aberta.En: The simple facade hid the rich and enveloping aroma that filled the air as soon as the door was opened.Pb: Mateus empurrou a porta

infância, mas seu coração estava agitado.En: The smell of freshly roasted coffee brought back childhood memories, but his heart was restless.Pb: Ana, sua mãe, estava atrás do balcão, organizando os doces típicos natalinos, como rabanadas e bolinhas de brigadeiro.En: Ana, his mother, was behind the counter, organizing typical Christmas sweets, like rabanadas and bolinhas de brigadeiro.Pb: Ela

her warm affection.Pb: "Mateus!En: "Mateus!Pb: Que bom que você veio!"En: How good that you came!"Pb: ela disse, com esperança nos olhos.En: she said, hope in her eyes.Pb: João, no fundo da loja,

mas havia no ar uma expectativa pesada, quase palpável.En: He didn't look at Mateus immediately, but there was a heavy, almost palpable expectation in the air.Pb: "Oi, pai," Mateus falou, sua voz entrecortada pela mistura de emoções.En: "Hi, dad," Mateus spoke, his voice broken by a mix of emotions.Pb: João parou, olhou nos olhos do filho e acenou com a cabeça, com um semblante que não entregava muito.En: João stopped, looked into his son's eyes, and nodded, with an expression that revealed little.Pb: Os minutos seguintes passaram devagar enquanto Ana servia uma bebida quente e deixava os dois homens a sós, na expectativa de um diálogo necessário.En: The next few minutes passed slowly as Ana served a hot drink and left the two men alone, anticipating a necessary dialogue.Pb: Mateus hesitou, mas finalmente caminhou até a torradeira, onde o calor fazia pequenas gotas de suor brotarem na testa de João.En: Mateus hesitated, but finally walked over to the roaster, where the heat made small beads of sweat form on João's forehead.Pb: "Temos muito o que falar," Mateus começou, olhando para os grãos que rodavam, sua mente retornando ao propósito de sua visita.En: "We have a lot to talk about," Mateus began, looking at the rotating beans, his mind returning to the purpose of his visit.Pb: "Eu quero entender... entender por que tudo saiu tão errado."En: "I want to understand... understand why everything went so wrong."Pb: João, ainda focado no café, responde: "Sei que errei, Mateus.En: João, still focused on the coffee, replied, "I know I made mistakes, Mateus.Pb: Mas nunca soube como consertar."En: But I never knew how to fix them."Pb: O silêncio entre eles era interrompido apenas pelo crepitar dos grãos e, por algum tempo, os dois navegaram pelo mar de arrependimentos e esperanças rompidas.En: The silence between them was interrupted only by the crackling of the beans, and for some time, the two navigated through a sea of regrets and broken hopes.Pb: Mateus queria manter a calma, mas as palavras saíam rápidas, como o vapor que escapava da máquina de café ao lado.En: Mateus wanted to stay calm, but the words came out fast, like steam escaping the coffee machine nearby.Pb: "E você, por um momento, achou que seus sonhos eram mais importantes que nós?"En: "And did you, for a moment, think your dreams were more important than us?"Pb: Mateus perguntou, a emoção entrecruzada em sua voz.En: Mateus asked, emotion interwoven in his voice.Pb: "Eu só tentei dar o melhor para vocês," respondeu João, finalmente encarando Mateus com um olhar sincero e cansado.En: "I only tried to give the best for you," replied João, finally facing Mateus with a sincere and tired look.Pb: "Talvez tenha feito isso errado."En: "Maybe I did it wrong."Pb: A conversa fluiu, apoiada pela honestidade que só o contato direto pode trazer.En: The conversation flowed, supported by the honesty that only direct contact can bring.Pb: Aos poucos, a energia foi se transformando.En: Gradually, the energy began to transform.Pb: Ana entrou na sala, com um bandeja de café e doces, fazendo o momento parecer menos tenso.En: Ana entered the room with a tray of coffee and sweets, making the moment seem less tense.Pb: Sua presença suave trouxe uma trégua necessária, e juntos, encontraram uma forma de iniciar um processo de cura.En: Her gentle presence brought a necessary truce, and together, they found a way to start a healing process.Pb: "Podemos não resolver tudo hoje," Mateus disse, com um tom mais calmo, "mas estou disposto a tentar."En: "We may not resolve everything today," Mateus said, with a calmer tone, "but I'm willing to try."Pb: João sorriu levemente, percebendo que o filho estava oferecendo uma oliveira de paz.En: João smiled slightly, realizing that his son was offering an olive branch.Pb: "Então, vamos começar daqui," ele sugeriu, oferecendo uma xícara de café ao filho.En: "Then, let's start from here," he suggested, offering a cup of coffee to his son.Pb: Naquele pequeno café, naquela tarde quente de verão, cercados pelo cheiro dos grãos torrados e a promessa de uma nova chance, Mateus, João e Ana descobriram um novo começo.En: In that small café, on that hot summer afternoon, surrounded by the smell of roasted beans and the promise of a new chance, Mateus, João, and Ana discovered a new beginning.Pb: A
