She grasped my hands with her warm and old hands and then started to take me forward. When I stopped the woman and asked a question, she turned her face to me, and I noticed something I had not noticed before. "The woman was blind" When I arrived in Lisbon bus terminal about 3 hours ago, the sun was rising. After a long journey, I took by my side the backpack and my endless energy which I only have when I am traveling. My goal was to go to Cabo da Roca after leaving my bag to the place I booked. This was the place known as the end of the Earth before America was discovered. After I left my stuff, I looked at how to get there from the city center. To reach this place, which was quite out of the city, I would have to take the bus first, then the train and then the bus again. After I checked the way to the first bus stop, I hit the road. While I was on the road, the map I was following from the phone was attached, some scratches occurred on the screen, and then the phone turned off and the screen went completely black. I stayed calm and took the city map in my hand and started moving towards the stop. Because life was what happened to us while we were making plans. When I arrived at the bus stop, I asked the people there whether it was the right stop to reach the train station. They answered yes, where will you go? When I answered Capo da Roca, a pretty old woman standing there with her cute dog, took my hand and said she would take me there and started tugging my hand. "Wait, then, aren't we going to take the bus to get there?" I asked. When the woman turned to me, it was the moment I realized that the woman could not see. I suddenly dabbled. Maybe I should have trusted my gut and followed the woman without a question. Towards the end of the street, we came to an old pink house with a plaster cast. Tangerine trees in front of the house were bringing life here a little bit. When I walked in, I thought that things that might have been cute before were faded and gave a gloomy atmosphere here. She stopped and asked, "Are you hungry?. "I'm not very hungry, thanks," I answered. At least let me give you some of the fruits I grow. I happily accepted that and said that I could help for preparing but she didn't allow it. What is your name? "Amanda" "In the sense that deserves to be loved" "I was once loved, a lot.” She continued. When eyes cannot see, you learn to see with your heart. You love what you hear, feel, not what you see, and this is the truest form of love. So where is he now Amanda, your husband? Fernao? He is now in Cabo da Roca. We will go with you there to see him soon. When we finally arrived at Cabo da Roca, I was bewitched. At the end of the meadows with yellow flowers, the cliffs appeared, and from the cliffs, it was possible to see white foams when the vicious waves crashing to the rocks. It should not have been surprised to be called the end of the world for here. The ocean was lying down vastly as it could be, combining with the horizon. Amanda drew near to the edge of the cliff and pointed at the waves which are hitting the rocks and said "here", Fernao. Fernao, who was blind like me, was a musician. He was spending most of his time playing the piano. After a while, he got a disease. His ears were constantly ringing and his head ached heavily. It made me very sad to feel that he was suffering. When I woke up one morning, I found a letter on the piano. My Beloved Amanda! I'm afraid I can no longer bear this pain. I'll wait for you in the sky forever. Forgive me. I'm going to fly from the end of the world to our place in the sky. Take care of yourself.
