A famous writer wrote that the life of unlucky people is very similar. All of them suffer from unjust and the system which is cruel or indifferent. That is not my problem; I do not care. These works come from the month of people who work in the ministry of Just. To whom you should go as the Judges are so indifferent and say clearly that is your problems, the police will say the same thing. I wish one time the world could have Just, Unity and Love. So the people will have fewer problems. I saw Aryana in the university gathering and he was an instructor a part time adjunct professor. We know each other from Tehran.
Aryana told me five year ago as I was going out of my class an employee of the university came to me and said that the head of the department will speak with you. Would you please go to him? I said sure I will go to him right now. I went to the head of department and he asked me to sit in a chair in front of him. He started to speak and told me that a man sent a letter to university through the Ministry of Just that you are Bahai and are working at the university to change the religion of pure innocent children of Islam to other religion. And you know that is here in Iran now a criminal case and you can be killed for this accusation. So the president of university will see you and will speak with you. He told me that he said to the president Aryana is one of our best instructors and he teaches with interest and love and the students like him very much and he is a very beloved teacher. The president told me does not a matter he should come here and see me. He asked you to go to him tomorrow morning at 10.
Next day I went to the president office. He showed me a letter coming from Ministry of Just signed by a person named Mosavi Tirabadi. The content of letter says that you took money from him and did not give back to him and you used the money for you wedding party and also you teach at university, because you want to change the religion of innocent Islamic children. And you are born in a Bahai family also. I looked at him and said. First this man owes me money as I have checks from him. If I owe him why he gave checks to me? So he is saying untrue matter. Second my father is a Moslem and all my brothers and sisters are Moslem. My mother was Bahai, but she died many years ago and my father did not let me to have any contacts with Bahai. I love my mother and her family, but they are Bahai and were very nice to me. But I have no Bahai knowledge and I do not know much about it. The only thing that I know about it is they should be nice help the humanity and work for the unity of mankind. And the Babb said he is the 12th Imam for whom the Shia are waiting. That is the only knowledge I have about Bahai. My father was a very restrict Moslem and trained me as a Moslem.
As I was 8 my beloved sister teaches me the Arabic prayers and from that time I pray Arabic Islamic prayer every day. My grand father was also an Ayatollah a famous one in his time and I did always whatever my father asked me. Even in the time that we had Bahai visitors I was not allowed to play with Bahai children. In contrary my father asked me in the same time to pray Islamic Arabic prayer in the time that Bahai children were playing in the yard; I should pray and pray. It was a lot of prayer for eight years old boy. I did all these instructors as I loved my father very much and most of my brothers and sisters who are Moslem are very nice and friendly to me. In the time I prayed Islamic Arabic prayers that I did not understand the meaning completely the Bahai children make fun of me and told me you son of the Akhund, you Seyed Mosalman…I was not allowed to play with them and I loved to play with them and ride tricycles and volley ball with them. But my father told me I should have no contact with them. Fridays as the Bahai boys and girls were going together to the Friday Bahai children classes I wish to go with them , but my father did not allowed me to go. The came back with pictures and candies and showed me. I was very sorry to have none of their nice pictures or candies.
The only person that I could have contact was the brother of my mother, who was a high school teacher. He lived with us, and he was a nice Bahai. But I thing my father get a promise from him and my mother never speak about Bahai Faith with me. I think both my mother and my uncle gave this promise to him and as long as my father was alive; they never told me anything about the Bahai religion.
He looked at me and said, but the committee of university will decide about you and you should speak about this matter with them. Two days later the committee sends me an invitation and I had to go there.
I went there and a young man with bread said hello to me and asked me to sit. He was friendly and showed me the same paper sent by Mr. Mosavi Tirabadi. He said dear professor with this information you cannot teach at the university any more. He said you took money from him and you are Bahai and just you teach because you want …what can you say? I showed him over one million Toman checks he gave me which at that time was about 20,000 US dollars. He got this money from me for few days, but now after 4 years he did not pay me and sent also this letter to you. How is it possible that I have $20,000 checks from him and he owes me so much money but he claim that I owes him $3000 without any documents and or check. So it is clear that he is saying not the truth. I went to the ministry of just and claimed against him, but my paperwork is going from one court to other court and nobody take care of them as he has a lot of friends in that ministry. He is a very cruel person, I help him ,but he is trying to destroy my life and as he pays money to the employees and or give them gifts, so his words has more value than mine. I am ignored and my paperwork is traveling from one court to another court, so he gains time and the inflation is in his side and every day I lose money, but he gains money. The money gets cheaper and cheaper and as the interest is not allowed in Islamic law; he is misusing this law and delays to consider my claims.
But his claim is considered right away and the persecutors are going after his will and listen to whatever he says. They ignored my documents and just go after his works, which is not true, too. Now he has all my capital and trying to destroy my life. He said does not a matter. Are you Bahai? I said my mother loved me to be Bahai, but as I have no knowledge about Bahai and the Bahais do not accept me as a real Bahai, so I am not a Bahai. I love and like the Bahais as they are part of my family. But I do not have any knowledge about this faith. He looked at me and said can you read Islamic prayers? I told him yes. He said OK, read for me. I start to read and after that he said, please translate them into Persian. I did. He said can you read and translate Quran? I said sure I can. He brought a Quran and opens it in the middle and told me to read. I read and than he asked me to translate. I did also. He said that you can even translate Quran in German and English, is it true. I said yes, than he asked I heard that you were as a child in Christian school, I said yes as in the Public School the Moslem children were fighting with me and I could not learn, so my mother registered me in a Christian school. He said do you believe in Jesus. I said yes. I read Bible in German and English and even Arabic so I believe in Him.
He speaks about my family and my work and said you were in a very high position in the Shah time. Why? I said, because they needed my expertise. I have PhD in telecommunication and so I had a high position. And you kept for a long time also your position in this regime, why? I said, because they need me and I work for the people regardless to the regime. I am not working for one person. I work for the people and students. I work for education and Iran. He laughed and said if I put me the puzzle together; the result is that you are Bahai. Which Moslem can read Quran as you did and be able to translate it to much language? You read Islamic prayers as good as you are a clergy person. You record shows that you do not drink, smoke and you do not have any problems with the women and never bother any girls, women or men. Your mother was a teacher also and was Bahai. So you are a Bahai. If you want to show that you are not Bahai; you can write an article in the newspaper against the Bahai religion and say bad words about that religion. I said I told you how I can write an article against a faith that I have no knowledge about it. It will be a funny article. My mother and part of my family are Bahai, how can I publish an article against my own mother religion?
The young man may be about 32 looked again at me and said, my dear professor you are Bahai. You know the Islamic religion so good better than clergy personals, so that is a prove that you are Bahai. Even if you had no Bahai knowledge. And I think even your father was a Bahai. As in the time he had good positions he helped the Bahais. He married a Bahai wife. He was interested in Bahai faith. But because he had so much connection with Islam so he could not declare himself as a Bahai. Any way you cannot work as professor any more. I said after 20 years working as a college teacher what can I do. He said you can work as mechanic as you know engineering and you are teaching this, so you can also work as a mechanic and repair cars and engines. I am sorry, but we cannot let you to teach any more.
I tried to find another job, but it was very hard and difficult to start a new business. I needed capital and all my capital and saving was taken by people and without money how can I do a business? My four children were growing and needed more money. Two of them were in the high school and the other two in middle schools. My wife was send out of college and work also as she was Bahai. After a lot of discussion, my wife said you cannot find any work here as the private companies will hire young people and not a man with PhD and with 20 years of experiences. You know German, French and English and you finished a good Christian school, the best way is to go to Europe or America and work there and send us money.
I got my passport and tried to get visa for German, France of England. None of them were willing to give me a visa. My wife said these children need money and education; you cannot stay here without proper work. Go to Turkey and try from there to get a visa. I went to Turkey and the only visa that I could get was for USA. So I fly to USA for work and surviving. I had only few dollars with me, so I could not even rent a room in a hotel. I should stay on the street for days until I got a work as a physical worker. I got so much money that I could rent a room in a very cheap area and a very ugly room which was in a very old damaged house. The house needed a lot of repair and nothing were working there, but a church help me a lot and the people of the church help me to survive they let me to use their bath and house during the day and I just slept in that damaged house they helped me to know the system and I could evaluate my papers and get a good job at the university as a telecommunication professor. After 3 years hard life and I had a good job and nice salary; not as good as in Iran, but it was OK. So I tried to bring my wife and four children. I did all the paper work and they went to a luxury hotel in get visa and came here without any difficulties. Now my wife had a friend during the time that I was not with her and wrote every day long letters to him.
My sons and daughters who came here without any problems and everything was ready wanted more and more as if I was an American rich person. After one year all of them have work and they could study so they left me with a big house and a lot of costs.
One day that I was very desperate and do not know what to do I met another professor at the university. She was like me an instructor with PhD in telecommunication. We got very friend with each other. She helped me like an angel. She came to my house and organized everything and I had a nice woman touch in my house. In the time that my children and my wife left me and they took all my belonging, she came and helps me to survive again. She was very nice and very friendly, better as a sister or wife. She was very intelligent with 35 she had her PhD and she was the head of a university in China. She was a tall beautiful person super intellectual and nice friendly friend. She cooked and cleaned for me and I helped her to know better English and better the culture of here.
She changed even my wheels of my car and did all work just like a much closed friend. She brings light and hope again in my house. My wife left me with four children just because a man said to her you are beautiful and your face is nice, but Mai did everything for me not to miss my wife and children. She replaces all of them. I wish I could marry her and be for ever with her, but she did not want to marry me. She was always with me and every time and every night she spoke with me and gives me hope for the life. As my wife and children left me and took everything that I have, the life was very hard for me and the Mai did a lot of work for me to make my life easier. She was like an angel or just a dream of a wife. She lived in my house and makes everything so perfect. As this beautiful super intellectual woman was sent by God to save me. I was very depressed, but she makes the life enjoyable again.
I worked three years very hard to bring my wife and children here, but after one year they left I and I had to pay all the bills for them. I was very tight and the salary of my work could not cover all these costs. Mai came and help me so much that I could stand on my feet again. Her beautiful face and her nice action gave me new hope to live. She was so closed to me almost like my mother. Even my sister and wife did not come so close to me. With other words this 35 years old professor and university dean of China with her super intelligent action and help made a new life for me. Always she was behind me and every day she was with me and helps me. We visit together many places and she learned everything just very fast. I told her a word one time only and she knew it. Sometimes I think it was only a dream how a person can be so nice. She was always there for me. She builds everything again for me. From a desperate man, she made me so that I could start everything from beginning again. I wish I could marry her, but she wanted to be just a good friend and not a girl friend. Even as she left me but her memory still help I to survive at least beside my mother somebody loved me so much even if she did not be my wife or my girl friend. She wanted just to be a friend. But a friend who was much closer than anyone else to me. A friend that her memory helps me to be happy again. After so many problems and bad situations I had. I can say that woman or angel from China was the best and the only friend that I had. All other friends family wanted me for their own benefits. But even Mai did not marry me and left me, but her thinking and love is always with me. So I hope one day I can see my angel again and prove to me that was not only a nice dream.
