Unspoken Moments in the Café
Between the clinking of coffee cups and the rhythmic echo of boxing gloves against a punching bag, Sara has crafted a life of relentless discipline. By day, she’s a determined sports science student, by afternoon, a fierce boxer, and by night, a café barista—too busy to entertain distractions, least of all romance.
But then there’s Omid, the quiet yet persistent customer who keeps showing up, finding subtle ways to break through the walls Sara has built around her heart. When he finally asks for her Telegram ID, she gives it without much thought—only to realize later that she doesn’t have the time or energy for anything beyond her structured life.
Omid, however, isn’t easily deterred. His presence remains in the café, his gestures thoughtful and gentle, never demanding. From an unexpected box of sweets to a delicate bouquet left behind, his actions speak in a language that Sara isn’t sure she wants to understand. As the seasons change, so does the rhythm of their interactions—sometimes distant, sometimes magnetic, always lingering in the air like the scent of freshly brewed coffee.
But when Omid suddenly disappears for weeks, Sara is left with an unfamiliar emptiness. Was he just a fleeting chapter in her life, or has she been avoiding the undeniable truth—the possibility that, maybe, just maybe, she’s been waiting for someone like him all along?
A slow-burn romance about timing, patience, and the quiet moments that weave people together, When the Bell Chimes at Midnight is a story of two souls trying to find harmony in the chaos of everyday life.
