Chapter 289 – Gustavo Attends the Olympics
August 2024 marks the culmination of the Olympics, and the entire world is focused on Paris, where the finals of several sports are taking place. Gustavo, always proud of his Brazilian roots, decides to fly to the City of Lights to support his country's team, which is competing for important medals.
As soon as he lands, Gustavo notices the euphoria in the city. Flags from all countries decorate the streets, and the Olympic spirit is in the air. He is particularly excited to watch the women's volleyball game, where Brazil faces the United States. The Brazilian team is putting on a show at the Olympics, and Gustavo wants to be there to cheer them on.
Gustavo (thinking as he walks to the stadium): "No matter where I am, Brazil will always have my support. These girls are playing like true warriors."
As he enters the stadium, Gustavo immediately attracts attention. Dressed casually, wearing a Brazilian national team jersey and sunglasses, he walks with his imposing bearing through the stands until he finds his seat. Some spectators already recognize him, and soon begin to comment on his presence.
Fan in the stands (whispering to his friend): "Look, that's Gustavo, Kendall Jenner's husband! He's here to watch Brazil play!"
Another fan (surprised): "Yes, he's that ex-special forces, model and actor! It's incredible that he's here cheering for Brazil."
As Gustavo settles in, a smile forms on his face. He's there to support the team, and his pride in Brazil is evident. As he watches the players warm up, his attention is drawn to one athlete in particular: Rosamaria, one of the main players on the volleyball team, who had already been attracting attention with her performances in previous matches.
Rosamaria, a fan of Gustavo, has always admired him, both for his career in the special forces and for his success in cinema and as a model. She never imagined that he would be there, in the stands, watching one of her matches. When her eyes meet Gustavo's, she freezes for a moment, feeling her nervousness increase.
Rosamaria (thinking while making a serve): "I can't believe it... It's Gustavo! He's here, watching us. I need to concentrate... I can't make a mistake now."
Throughout the game, Rosamaria tries to stay calm, but the pressure is visible. Every time she looks up at the stands, Gustavo is there, smiling and cheering fervently. She takes a deep breath, trying to transform that nervousness into energy to play even better.
Teammate (noticing Rosamaria's nervousness): "Are you okay, Rosa? You're more tense than usual."
Rosamaria (laughing nervously): "It's just... Gustavo is here. He's watching the game. I don't know if I can concentrate properly."
Teammate (laughing): "Relax, he's here to cheer. Let's show him what we're capable of!"
The game starts with full intensity. The Brazilian team is determined to win, and the players put all their effort into every point. Gustavo follows the game closely, standing up to cheer every time Brazil scores a point.
Gustavo (thinking as he watches the game): "These girls are incredible. They're playing with their hearts."
The match is tight, but Rosamaria, even though nervous, begins to stand out. She hits powerful serves and defends with precision, helping the team maintain balance against the strong United States team. Gustavo, impressed, can't hide his enthusiasm.
Gustavo (smiling to himself): "Rosamaria is playing with determination. She has a lot of strength."
The Brazilian team's players notice the energy coming from the stands and know that Gustavo is watching, which motivates them even more. Every point is a battle, and the Brazilian fans, including Gustavo, are ecstatic.
Gustavo's presence in the stadium spreads quickly. Comments about him appear on social media, and soon journalists begin to mention him as one of the most notable spectators of the match.
Sports journalist (commenting on TV): "And there, among the Brazilian fans, we have an illustrious presence. Gustavo, ex-special forces and now a rising star in cinema, is here cheering for our volleyball girls. It seems like he is bringing extra energy to the team!"
During halftime, a camera focuses on Gustavo, and his image is broadcast on the stadium's big screens. The audience bursts into applause and screams of euphoria when they realize he is among them. Gustavo waves discreetly, with a shy smile, but appreciating the affection of the fans.
Rosamaria (watching Gustavo on the big screen, nervous): "My God, I have to play the best game of my life today."
Chapter 290 – Gustavo and Rosamaria
As the game continued intensely, Gustavo watched each point with enthusiasm. Sitting in the stands, his heart beat along with the rhythm of the match. Brazil was fighting for the bronze medal against the United States, and with each point won, Gustavo stood up, cheering along with the crowd.
Gustavo (thinking while cheering): "These girls are making history. We're going to get this medal."
The Brazilian team players, fueled by the support from the stands and by Gustavo's silent encouragement, gave their all in every serve, block and defense. The stadium was in pure euphoria, with the Brazilian public chanting and applauding.
Finally, on the last point of the match, Brazil secured the victory. The cheers of celebration echoed throughout the stadium, and Gustavo, along with the crowd, exploded with happiness, applauding and smiling. The Brazilian volleyball team had won the bronze medal at the Olympics.
After the victory, the Brazilian players went up to the podium, beaming. Each of them received the bronze medal with pride, and tears of joy streamed down the faces of many athletes. Gustavo watched the ceremony with admiration, proud of the performance of the players who had worked so hard to get there.
Gustavo (thinking): "They deserved every moment of it. What strength and dedication!"
The audience continued to applaud the Brazilian heroines, and after the ceremony, Gustavo felt he needed to congratulate them personally.
Gustavo went down to the court, where the volleyball girls, still euphoric about the victory, were celebrating. When they saw him approaching, they began to whisper and laugh among themselves, hardly believing that he was coming to congratulate them.
Player 1 (laughing): "Look who's coming, guys! Gustavo Jenner himself!"
Player 2 (joking): "Watch out, Rosa, your idol is coming!"
Rosamaria, still nervous, tried to maintain her composure, but Gustavo's mere presence left her speechless. He smiled at all the players as he approached, shaking their hands and congratulating each one.
Gustavo (with a genuine smile): "Congratulations, girls. You played like true champions. It was an honor to watch this victory."
The players thanked him enthusiastically, but couldn't resist commenting on Rosamaria's reaction.
Player 3 (laughing and pointing at Rosamaria): "You have no idea, Gustavo, but Rosamaria almost lost the game because of you. She's a huge fan of yours and was completely distracted knowing you were watching."
Rosamaria (dying with embarrassment): "Oh, guys... I wasn't supposed to say that..."
Player 1 (joking): "She got so nervous that we had to remind her to breathe!"
Gustavo laughed, watching Rosamaria embarrassed, trying to hide behind her teammates. He then put an arm on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Gustavo (kindly): "Don't be nervous, Rosa. I was here to cheer you on, and you played incredibly well. It was a pleasure to watch your performance."
Rosamaria looked at him, still a little shy, but with a huge smile on her face.
Rosamaria (smiling shyly): "Thank you... It means a lot to hear that from you."
After congratulating the players, Gustavo suggested taking a photo with them to immortalize the moment. He stood next to Rosamaria, who, still in disbelief, smiled broadly. The photo was taken and, shortly after, Gustavo posted it on his Instagram profile with a caption that deeply touched Rosamaria.
Caption of the photo on Gustavo's Instagram:
"With the warriors of the Brazilian volleyball team! Congratulations on the bronze medal, you were incredible! And of course, I had the pleasure of meeting my number 1 fan, Rosamaria. Thank you for inspiring me with your talent and dedication!"
When Rosamaria saw Gustavo's Instagram post, where he mentioned her, she could hardly believe it. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness and emotion.
Rosamaria (speaking to her teammates, her voice breaking): "He really wrote this... I will never forget this moment."
The other players, noticing Rosamaria's happiness, hugged her and celebrated with her.
Player 2 (joking): "See, Rosa? You spent the whole game nervous, but now you have a recognition that few people have."
Rosamaria (smiling): "This is a dream... I never imagined something like this could happen."
