Eduardo was a photographer with a penchant for capturing the essence of Brazil's vibrant cities and landscapes. Monica, a freelance writer, found herself on a similar path, exploring stories tucked within bustling streets and tranquil countryside. Their paths crossed in Brasília, a city known for its architectural splendor and wide-open skies, setting the stage for a tale of serendipity and romance.

Their meeting was nothing short of a cinematic moment. Eduardo was setting up his tripod at the Praça dos Três Poderes, aiming to capture the golden hour as it kissed the angular designs of Oscar Niemeyer's creations. Meanwhile, Monica was scribbling notes about the city's design, seated on a nearby bench. When a sudden gust of wind threatened her papers, Eduardo instinctively reached out to help, and their hands met among the fluttering pages.

The connection was instant, and after a brief exchange of smiles and apologies, they decided to explore the city together. As

the sun dipped below the horizon, their conversation deepened, ranging from their artistic passions to their dreams of traveling across Brazil. It was during one such conversation that Monica mentioned her next stop would be the mysterious waterfalls hidden in the heart of the Chapada dos Veadeiros. Eduardo, enchanted by the idea and her company, impulsively decided to join her.

Their journey required a bit of logistical planning. Neither of them had a car in Brasília, and the public transport routes were a puzzle. Luckily, Eduardo remembered a website where they could find bus schedules. Checking the site was crucial; it not only showed them the most efficient route to Alto Paraíso de Goiás but also the timings aligned perfectly with the best hours for photography and exploration.

With the bus schedule sorted, they embarked on their journey, each bus ride weaving their lives closer together. The shared travel, from crowded city buses to quiet rides through lush greenery, allowed their initial spark to bloom into a deep, fervent affection. They shared headphones, listened to each other's favorite songs, and exchanged stories that painted vivid pictures of their pasts.

In Chapada dos Veadeiros, surrounded by breathtaking waterfalls and the raw beauty of nature, Eduardo and Monica realized that their journey together was no longer just about travel. It was about the connections they formed, anchored by shared experiences and serendipitous moments, like finding the right bus schedule at the right time, which allowed them to explore their feelings as much as the landscapes around them.

Their story, beginning in Brasília and enriched by a simple yet essential bus schedule, became a beautiful testament to the unexpected journeys that love can take us on. The tale of Eduardo and Monica continued beyond the waterfalls, traveling through bus routes across Brazil, each stop a new chapter in their love story, each ticket a token of their shared adventures.

Letters

Who will one day say that there is no reason

In things done from the heart

And who will tell me that there is no reason

Eduardo opened his eyes, but didn't want to get up

He lay there and saw what time it was

While Mônica had a brandy

In the other corner of town, like they said

Eduardo and Mônica met one day by accident

And they talked a lot to try to get to know each other.

Little face from Eduardo's course who said

There's a cool party and we want to have fun

Strange party, with strange people

I'm not cool, I can't take any more booze

And Mônica laughed and wanted to know a little more

About the little boy who tried to impress

And Eduardo, a little dizzy, just thought about going home

It's almost two and I'm going to get screwed

Eduardo and Mônica exchanged phone numbers

Then they called and decided to meet

Eduardo suggested a snack bar

But Mônica wanted to see a Godard film

They then met in the City Park

Mônica on a motorbike and Eduardo on a camel

Eduardo thought it was strange and better not to comment

But the girl had dye in her hair

Eduardo and Mônica were nothing alike

She was a Leo and he was sixteen

She studied medicine and spoke German

And he's still in English classes

She liked Bandeira and Bauhaus

From Van Gogh and the Mutants

From Caetano and Rimbaud

And Eduardo liked soap operas

And he played football with his grandfather

She talked about the Central Plateau

Also magic and meditation

And Eduardo was still in the scheme

School, cinema, club, television

And even with everything different

It came quite suddenly

A desire to see each other

And the two met every day

And the desire grew

How it had to be

Eduardo and Mônica went swimming, photography

Theater and crafts and went traveling

Mônica explained to Eduardo

Things about sky, earth, water and air

He learned to drink, let his hair grow

And he decided to work

And she graduated the same month

That he passed the entrance exam

And the two celebrated together

And they also fought together many times afterwards

And everyone says he completes her and vice versa

Like beans and rice

They built a house a couple of years ago

About when the twins came

They fought for money, they held it cool

The heaviest bar they had

Eduardo and Mônica returned to Brasília

And our friendship is missed in the summer

But on these holidays they won't travel

Because Eduardo's little son

It's recovering ah-ah-ah

And who will ever say that there is reason?

In things done from the heart

And who will tell me

That there is no reason
