I am the President of Brazil

Chapter 82: The New Beginning

The year 2028 began with a new rhythm for Gustavo and Paola. For the first time in four years, they found themselves away from the political spotlight and the weight of presidential responsibilities. Now, as ordinary citizens, they were ready to live a life of freedom and tranquility. The decision to travel the world came naturally, as a way to reconnect with each other, after years of hard work for Brazil.

— "So, we're really doing it," — Paola said with a broad smile as she closed the last suitcase.

— "Yes, no rallies, no emergency meetings, just the two of us and the world outside," — Gustavo replied, adjusting his sunhat and sunglasses. — "Hawaii, here we go."

The first destination was Hawaii, a choice they both agreed on immediately. The paradise islands offered the perfect getaway: golden sand beaches, crystal clear waters and a peaceful setting that contrasted sharply with the frenetic pace of his last years in power.

When they landed at Honolulu airport, Gustavo took a deep breath and looked around, enjoying the fresh tropical breeze. There were no armed security guards around him anymore, no crowds waiting for him. Just him, Paola, and the promise of peaceful days ahead.

"It's strange not having anyone waiting for us with flags or cameras," Gustavo said with a laugh.

"I would say it's wonderful," Paola replied, holding his hand as they walked toward the car that would take them to the hotel.

The couple stayed at a beachfront resort, far from the city center, in a location surrounded by palm trees and with a spectacular view of the ocean. The suite's windows offered an uninterrupted view of the gentle waves crashing against the shore, and the sound of the ocean was a soothing symphony for the two of them.

As they entered the room, Gustavo placed his bags on the floor and looked around, admiring the cozy and luxurious surroundings.

"It seems like the perfect place to start this new phase, don't you think?" he said, hugging Paola from behind as she looked out the window.

"Exactly what we need," she sighed contentedly. "After everything we've been through, it's time to live for ourselves."

The next day, the couple set out to explore the natural beauty of Hawaii. Their first stop was the famous Waikiki Beach, where they decided to spend the morning relaxing in the sun. Gustavo, accustomed to being the center of attention, now felt anonymous among the tourists and locals. He and Paola strolled along the beach hand in hand, exchanging smiles and light conversations, without the constant concern for security or politics.

— "Did you know it's been years since we've had a real vacation?" Gustavo commented as he watched the waves.

— "Years?" Paola laughed. — "I'd say decades."

— "You're right. I think the last time we really relaxed like this was... well, before everything."

— "And now we have all the time in the world. Let's make the most of every second."

The day was filled with walks on the sand, a refreshing dip in the Pacific, and lunch at a beachside restaurant, where they sampled traditional Hawaiian dishes like poke and kalua pig. Gustavo, always curious about local cultures, was enchanted by the simplicity and authentic flavor of the dishes.

— "It's amazing how food reflects the soul of a place," he said as he took another bite. "So simple, yet so full of flavor."

— "Just like this island," Paola added. "Everything here seems to be in harmony."

At dusk, they climbed the famous Diamond Head volcano, one of Oahu's main attractions. The hike to the top was challenging, but the couple was determined to reach the panoramic view that everyone said was spectacular. When they reached the summit, the sun was already setting, painting the sky with shades of orange, pink and purple.

Gustavo, out of breath, stopped for a moment to absorb the grandeur of the scene before him.

"It was worth every step," he said, admiring the view of the blue waters of the Pacific merging with the horizon, with the city of Honolulu in the distance.

Paola, at his side, smiled and held his hand.

"This is what I want for the rest of our lives, Gustavo. Moments like this, just the two of us, living and enjoying every moment."

Gustavo turned to her, his eyes shining with the reflection of the sunset.

"Me too, Paola. Finally we can live without rushing, without worries. Just us and the world."

Over the next few days, Gustavo and Paola continued exploring the wonders of Hawaii. They visited the Hanauma Bay rainforest, where they snorkeled among coral reefs and colorful schools of fish. Each new place brought a renewed sense of freedom and discovery.

During a visit to Volcanoes National Park, they walked on ancient lava beds, fascinated by the almost extraterrestrial landscape that contrasted with the paradisiacal beaches they had seen before. Gustavo, who has always been fascinated by nature and its forces, he admired the grandeur of the volcanoes.

— "The force of nature here is so evident. And to think that all of this shaped these islands," — he commented as he watched the steam rising from fissures in the ground.

— "It's like Brazil," — Paola reflected. — "We've been through so many storms and challenges, but in the end, the beauty and strength of our country has always prevailed."

Gustavo smiled, reflecting on his wife's words. He knew that, despite having left power, his love for Brazil and the nature of leadership would never abandon him. But for now, he was happy to let the world take its course, while he and Paola enjoyed the best of life.

On their last day in Hawaii, before leaving for the next destination on their world trip, Gustavo and Paola decided to watch the sunset on a secluded beach. Sitting side by side on the sand, they watched the sun slowly descend on the horizon, immersing the ocean in a golden light.

— "I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next," Gustavo said, his voice soft but full of anticipation.

— "And where will the next destination be?" Paola asked, leaning against him.

— "I don't know yet. Maybe New Zealand? Or maybe Japan? The world is ours now."

Paola smiled, looking to the future with the same enthusiasm.

— "Wherever it may be, I'm ready. Let's discover the world together."

And so, under the Hawaiian sky, Gustavo and Paola began a new phase of their lives, free to explore, live and love the world at their own pace. The former president and his first lady were now simply Gustavo and Paola, two travelers, united in their journey across the planet.

Chapter 83: Hollywood Lights

After a relaxing stay in Hawaii, Gustavo and Paola were ready for the next destination on their trip around the world. The location chosen this time had a special appeal, known for its lights, glamour and movie stars: Los Angeles, the land of Hollywood. Excited to explore the heart of the film industry, the couple landed in LAX with high expectations.

— "Finally, Hollywood!" — Paola exclaimed, as she admired the hills with the iconic sign in the distance. — "I've always dreamed of visiting the place where so many incredible films and stories were created."

— "It's amazing to be here, away from politics and the busy life," — Gustavo agreed, smiling. — "Now it's just fun."

As they walked through the busy streets of Los Angeles, the couple noticed the elegant architecture, the luxury shops and, of course, the constant presence of tourists from all over the world, all eager to capture the Hollywood glitz on their cameras. However, something unexpected happened: people started to recognize them.

— "Wait… is that the former president of Brazil?" — a woman whispered as she walked past them.

— "Yes, that's him! Gustavo and Paola!" — another woman commented excitedly, already taking out her phone to take pictures.

Soon, small groups began to form around the couple. Tourists and locals approached them to ask for photos, handshakes and even autographs. Despite being in another country, Gustavo and Paola were still well-known international figures, admired by many for the transformation they brought to Brazil.

— "Wow, I didn't think we would be so recognized here," — Paola said, a little surprised, but smiling kindly at the people around her.

— "I guess we can't escape fame so easily," — Gustavo joked, posing for another photo with a group of young Brazilians who were in Los Angeles for the holidays.

They were recognized not only by the general public, but also by celebrities. As they walked down Rodeo Drive, one of the most iconic streets in Los Angeles, Gustavo and Paola came across some well-known faces from the world of international celebrities. Among them were sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who recognized them immediately.

— "Hey! You're Gustavo and Paola! We've been following what you've done in Brazil," — Kendall exclaimed, approaching with a big smile.

Kylie, standing next to them, also greeted them enthusiastically. — "Yes, Brazil is amazing now! We're impressed with the changes you've made."

Gustavo and Paola were surprised by the recognition, but returned the kindness.

— "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm glad you know a little about what we did in Brazil," — said Gustavo, shaking their hands.

— "We're big fans of how you've transformed Brazil into a world power," — added Kendall, excited.

During the conversation, Paola and the Jenner sisters exchanged some ideas about fashion, and Paola was surprised by their interest in the humanitarian work she had led while she was First Lady.

— "You should think about a sustainable fashion line! That would be amazing," — Kylie suggested, admiring Paola's elegance.

— "I've never thought about that, but it's an interesting idea," — Paola replied, laughing.

Later on in the visit, they crossed paths with another famous duo, Gigi and Bella Hadid. The supermodels were also in Los Angeles for an event and, upon seeing Gustavo and Paola, they didn't hesitate to greet them.

— "I never imagined meeting you here! What an honor!" — Gigi said, while Bella waved from afar.

— "It's great to meet you, and we always follow what's happening in Brazil," — Bella added.

The conversations with the Hadid sisters continued for quite some time, with Gustavo and Paola discussing everything from sustainable fashion to the international scene, something that fascinated the supermodels. After a few minutes of conversation, another surprise: Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber.

— "I can't believe we found you here!" — Justin exclaimed, visibly excited. — "Gustavo, man, you're incredible! What you did in Brazil was impressive."

Gustavo smiled humbly.

— "Thank you, Justin. It was the work of many hands, but I'm happy that it had a global impact."

— "And Paola," — Hailey continued, — "you are an inspiration. Your strength and dedication are admirable."

Paola, moved by the recognition, responded with gratitude.

— "Thank you so much, Hailey. It's great to know that the work we did in Brazil has reached here."

After several minutes of lively conversation and mutual praise, the idea of ​​taking a group photo came up. Kendall, Kylie, Gigi, Bella, Justin and Hailey lined up next to Gustavo and Paola. Several people around had already taken out their phones, ready to capture the moment. One of Justin's bodyguards grabbed Paola's phone and took the official photo.

"This photo is going to be a hit on Instagram," Kylie commented, as she quickly posted the image to her Instagram account.

In a matter of minutes, social media exploded with the photo of the former president and the former first lady of Brazil alongside some of the biggest celebrities in the world. Gustavo, who was never a big fan of social media, laughed at the situation.

— "Who would have thought we would end up like this, Instagram stars," — he joked, while Paola checked the thousands of likes and comments that were already starting to appear.

— "Yeah, I think we're officially in the world of celebrities now," — she replied, also laughing.

The comments on the networks were a mix of admiration and surprise. Fans of American celebrities commented on how rare it was to see political figures mixed with media stars, while Brazilians were proud to see their former president being recognized and respected internationally.

Kylie Jenner's post: "I had the pleasure of meeting Gustavo and Paola! What an incredible couple! What they did in Brazil is revolutionary! ❤️ #Respect #Legends"

Justin Bieber's post: "Just hanging out with Gustavo and Paola. These are the people who really make a difference. Brazil, you're proud of that! 🇧🇷 #Inspiring"

By the end of the day, Gustavo and Paola were tired, but full of good memories. After a quiet dinner at a Los Angeles restaurant, they returned to the hotel.

— "Who would have thought Hollywood would be so welcoming," — Paola said, relaxing on the balcony of her room, watching the city lights.

— "Definitely a memorable day," — Gustavo agreed. — "But we still have a lot of places to explore."

— "That's true. But today, let's just enjoy the moment. It was quite a day."

With the gentle breeze of the Californian night, Gustavo and Paola fell asleep, ready to continue their journey around the world, but knowing that, even far from Brazil, their actions and influences continued to resonate globally.
