"In Your Chest, I Found Peace"
The afternoon had already begun to fade.
Scattered clouds had appeared in the sky, and a pleasant breeze was flowing.
The feeling of heat was slowly disappearing.
Both of them came out of Yas Marina Circuit and sat in the car.
The car started moving toward Soul Beach.
Ramish, in a tired voice, asked the manager,
"How long will it take to reach Soul Beach from here?"
The manager replied,
"Sir, it will take around thirty to thirty-five minutes."
Ramish said with slight concern,
"Will we reach before the sun sets?"
The manager smiled and said,
"Yes, sir, we'll try our best to reach before sunset."
Richer looked at Ramish gently and said,
"Relax, Ramish…and why are you looks so worried. we'll get there in time, and you'll be able to see the sunset at the beach."
Then he smiled and added,
"By the way, what is it about the setting sun that you like so much?"
Ramish looked out of the window with a soft smile and said,
"Whenever I see the setting sun, I remember the moments I spent with you.
That flight, that meeting with you and that separations, a one dream that turned into reality… and as for the sun,
The golden light scattered over the sea feels as if the sun is getting tired and going to sleep in the arms of the ocean,
and sends a message to all the people to leave all your worries and fatigue behind,
and clam yourself down peaceful… because tomorrow will be yours."
He remained silent for a few moments, then said softly,
"Looking the set sun feels as if it's promising to meet again…
as if saying that it's only a small separation for this night, and then we'll meet again.
Richer, This same setting sun gave me hope of meeting you…
as if no matter how long the night is, in the end we must meet."
There was a gentle emotion in Ramish's voice.
"The colors of the sun while setting give such a strange calm to the eyes,
as if even while leaving, it smiles and scatters all its colors behind."
Richer was quietly watching Ramish,
lost in his words.
Ramish continued softly,
"Richer, where the noise of the waves begins
and the noise of the world ends—
that's where this view brings the deepest peace.
No matter how tired or restless a person is,
this sight makes them feel alive again."
Then he smiled at Richer and said,
"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?
You also like watching the sunset, don't you?"
Richer replied with a gentle smile,
"I do like it…
but the way you described it, if I see it through your eyes, it feels even more beautiful and peaceful.
I've never seen the sun like this before…
the way you showed it to me today."
At that moment, the car was quietly moving toward the sea,
and both their hearts were traveling in a completely different direction.
Ramish smiled and said,
"Richer, if you see the world through my eyes, you'll find perfection in everything.
And if you look deeply into these eyes, you'll only see yourself.
In these eyes, I have only kept your image."
Richer smiled playfully, held Ramish's face in his hands,
and gently lowered his eyelids with his thumbs, saying,
"All I can see in them is tiredness."
Ramish smiled and brought his eyes closer to Richer's, whispering,
"Look carefully… is it really only tiredness,
or is there something else hidden too?"
Richer replied with soft smile,
"No, it's just tiredness."
Ramish held Richer's hand and placed it on his chest,
then looked deep into his eyes and asked,
"Now tell me… what do you feel now?"
Richer fell silent for a few moments.
Looking into Ramish's deep, love-filled eyes,
he seemed to lose himself.
When Ramish slowly brought his lips closer,
Richer suddenly leaned back
and quietly sat in his seat.
Ramish noticed the shyness on Richer's face
and the fast beating of his heart, and he smiled.
What Richer couldn't say in words,
his silence had already said.
Ramish was still looking at him when
Richer gently held Ramish by the shoulders, leaned him back against the seat, and said,
"Rest now, we'll reach the beach very soon."
Ramish smiled and closed his eyes,
but suddenly said,
"Richer! We forgot to bring the clothes we bought for the beach!
I bought them especially to wear for the beach."
Richer smiled and said,
"What's there to worry about?
We'll wear them when we go to some other beach."
Ramish laughed and said,
"That's fine, but now I'll have to go to the beach and even swim in these clothes."
Richer said seriously,
"We're so tired that we can swim some other day.
Anyway, tomorrow we're going to Yas Water World,
you can swim as much as you want."
Then teasingly he added,
"Even if you want, you can swim to take a bath for the whole month all at once, so that you won't need to take a bathe for the entire month." 😄
Ramish laughed and said,
"How does possible is that?
Teach me that secret too!"
Both of them laughed,
forgot their tiredness, and started teasing each other.
Their laughter and smiles made the journey even more beautiful.
Richer softly said,
"Come, Ramish, let's look outside together."
Ramish moved closer to Richer,
held his arm and rested it on his shoulder,
and both looked out of the car window.
Ramish gently placed his head on Richer's chest and said softly,
"Richer… the moment I rest my head on your chest, I feel such peace,
as if a storm inside me has calmed down,
as if my heart has finally found rest."
Richer smiled and replied,
"I also like spending time with you,
every moment with you becomes a memorable part of my life."
Ramish looked at Richer with a full glance—
a look with no complaints,
no demands,
just a silent love,
deeper than words.
At that very moment, the car reached Soul Beach.
Both stepped out and slowly walked toward the shore,
where ahead of them waited
the ocean, the setting sun,
and the unspoken love of their hearts.
