  • Enquanto esperava, Rui entrou numa pequena sala dentro da torre.

    While waiting, Rui entered a small room inside the tower.

  • "Vou ensaiar", pensou.

    "I'll rehearse," he thought.

  • Pegou a nota com o discurso.

    He took out the note with the speech.

  • De repente, ouviu um barulho: "Cliquete."

  • A porta fechou-se, e Rui percebeu que estava trancado!

    The door closed, and Rui realized he was locked in!

  • Tentou abrir, mas não teve sucesso.

  • O coração de Rui disparou.

    Rui's heart raced.

  • "Como vou pedir Ana em casamento?

    "How am I going to propose to Ana?"

  • ", desesperou.

    he despaired.

  • Naquele instante, Rui lembrou-se do telemóvel no bolso.

    At that moment, Rui remembered the cell phone in his pocket.

  • "Tenho de ligar ao Joaquim", pensou.

    "I need to call Joaquim," he thought.

  • Joaquim era o segurança da torre, sempre de bom humor.

    Joaquim was the tower security guard, always cheerful.

  • Rui olhou para o ecrã do telemóvel.

    Rui looked at the cell phone screen.

  • A bateria estava quase a acabar.

    The battery was almost dead.

  • "Ajuda ou Ana?

    "Help or Ana?"

  • ", hesitou.

    he hesitated.

  • Com a bateria a piscar, Rui fez uma escolha rápida.

    With the battery flashing, Rui made a quick choice.

  • Procurou algo na sala e encontrou uma velha panela e uma colher de pau.

    He searched for something in the room and found an old pot and a wooden spoon.

  • Começou a bater com força, esperando que Joaquim ouvisse.

    He began to bang with force, hoping Joaquim would hear.

  • Fora da torre, Joaquim estava atento.

    Outside the tower, Joaquim was alert.

  • Ouviu o som estranho e foi ver o que acontecia.

    He heard the strange sound and went to see what was happening.

  • Ao perceber a situação, correu para libertar Rui.

    Realizing the situation, he ran to free Rui.

  • A porta abriu-se e Rui saiu, aliviado.

    The door opened, and Rui came out, relieved.

  • Joaquim riu, "Parece que a tua ideia de romantismo é barulhenta!"

    Joaquim laughed, "Looks like your idea of romance is noisy!"

  • Rui sorriu, agradecido, e correu para o local combinado.

    Rui smiled, grateful, and ran to the designated spot.

  • Ana chegou pouco depois, encantadora como sempre.

    Ana arrived shortly after, as charming as ever.

  • Rui ajoelhou-se, ainda um pouco suado mas com o coração leve, e contou tudo a Ana.

    Rui knelt, still a bit sweaty but with a light heart, and told everything to Ana.

  • Ela riu e disse que, mesmo com os percalços, era o pedido mais perfeito e autêntico que podia imaginar.

    She laughed and said that, despite the mishaps, it was the most perfect and authentic proposal she could imagine.

  • Rui aprendeu que o amor não precisa de ser perfeito para ser verdadeiro.

    Rui learned that love doesn't need to be perfect to be true.

  • E assim, com o rio Tejo a testemunhar, Ana disse "sim".

    And so, with the rio Tejo as a witness, Ana said "yes."
