Chapter 28: No Room For Personal Feelings

After a demanding day at work, Marilena arrives home, feeling the weight of the week's responsibilities settling on her shoulders. The vibrant bouquet of flowers in her living room seems to beckon her towards a moment of respite. She decides to retreat to her bedroom, seeking solace in the comfort of her bed.

Entering her bedroom, Marilena glances at the clock. The anticipation of the night out with Carla and friends lingers in her mind, but the exhaustion from the day's endeavors prevails. With a sigh, she decides to take a short nap, allowing her body and mind to rejuvenate before the evening's festivities.

Marilena slips off her shoes and settles onto the bed, the softness of the sheets providing a welcomed contrast to the hustle of the day. Closing her eyes, she succumbs to the quietude of her bedroom, the ambient sounds of the outside world fading away.
