"The valley is covered with frost, or maybe it's just a freezing desert full of loneliness. In my imagination, this valley is a place of beauty and delight. Here, the sun never sets, it can always be seen just above the horizon, brightening everything with a gentle glow," Khizer narrated.
Yamna askes, "Earlier people thought perhaps snow and frost could not exist here."
Khizer answered, "If they are right we shall sail over a calm sea to a land which is more beautiful and more wonderful than any place ever seen before: a country of eternal light."
Khizer, Eman, and Yamna were walking on the footpath when a strange sight suddenly attracted their attention. They saw a vehicle moving across the ice, drawn by dogs - a sledge. It was about a mile away and heading eastward. The driver who guided the dogs had the shape of a man but was as tall as a giant.
They were all amazed by the sight, especially Eman who was openly laughing. It was the first time that Khizer had seen her laugh, "She is beautiful," Khizer whispered.
As he looked at her smile, he could feel the same joy and excitement that a boy felt when he gets into a small boat with friends and sets out for the first exploration of their lives.
With their telescope, they watched the speedy progress of this traveller until he disappeared.
Khizer yelled, "How peaceful this place is! isn't it, Yamna and Eman?"
Yamna replied, "Yup, bro."
Eman refused.
When he asked the reason for her refusal, she answered him, "When the Lord is about to place humans on earth, Lord asked from angels, 'Where did I put their satisfaction and peace?' Angel answered, 'It should be at the highest place on the earth,' Lord replied, 'No human will reach there.'
Yamna interfere, "Then what happened?"
She told, "Then the angel answered, 'It should be at the deepest part of the ocean, or maybe it should be in the particles of sand.' Lord replied, 'No humans will even count the particles of sand.' Then the angel asked, 'So where should it be?' Lord replied, 'It should be put inside human entirety. Humans will search the whole world for it and when he is tired from searching for his peace, then I give a feeling to him that concentrates on your heart and life. If you didn't want to become mine, then at least be yours."'
Yamna exclaimed with joy, "Wow!"
Yamna hugged her and said, "Now I got your point, you mean this place is not peaceful, its the peace which is inside our entirety."
Eman grinned.
'Sometimes I wonder what it is about her that makes her seem more attractive than anyone else, I have ever known. I believe in her natural intelligence, her quick but never-failing power of judgment, and her clear understanding of the causes of things, and the pleasant easy way she has of expressing her ideas,' Khizer thought.
Rain and snow poured around. The mighty rivers were frozen.
Khizer sat behind a fountain continuously staring at Eman. She was unaware of his intentions, but her brown eyes stared back at him.
The clouds were swept away and the stars have shown down upon her.
The dark pine trees were all around, here and there a broken branch lay on the ground.
It was so quiet and enjoyable that they want to stay in that spot forever.
Khizer stood up from the bench and went close to the sea and Eman. Both are almost motionless.
