Every time I think of you it's the laughter I see.

Your eyes when you did something bad and hid behind dad.

Do you still do that?

In your last letter you said: Soraya and Fatemeh said hi.

I remember who Fatemeh is.

Her child was ill. How's he? Any better?

How's Ali Mardani and auntie Mahin?

They grocery story, the baker,

The supermarket.

I want you guys. I want to queue up at the baker's.

Walk around, shop.

I feel like that neighbourhood is life.

Let me post my letter.

He sends one every two days.

I liked to go fast on the bike for you to get scared.

Ask me to slow down but

Once when I heard you scream you were on the ground, crying.

I panicked, I was so scared.

You trusted me still and got on my bike.

Sure, come in. - Thanks.

Yes Mr. Fakhar.

You could've pulled him aside to say it.

So everyone is free to do whatever.

No.

Do it right.

In calm.

People expect it of me.

Not to have a go.

They expect a kind word.

Shouting makes it worse.

Yeah. - What did he say?

Happy Mother's Day He's missed.

Where did she go?

I don't know, she probably went to get something.

That's for Ali.

Thanks.

The sky is strange here.

The stars surround the moon.

Although the people are nice.

There are no familiar faces.

I seek refuge in the sky here.

Mum sounded upset but didn't say why.

She was real upset.

What is it sis?

I know what she said.

That I lie.

Or I don't say it all.

No I do, I just don't explain.

I know I shouldn't have drowned in my own world for long.

It was a mess.

It went past a simple warning.

He was expelled

I got a letter to bring dad in.

I'd rather die than give it to dad.

They brought him in eventually.

I was about to burst into tears.

Such a huge mess over nothing.

I wish you were here.

All I do is apologise.

Embarrassment and apologies.

I don't think I can go to uni anymore.

Everything is bitter Ali.

It's not some stuff.

Laws of the neighbourhood.

People look at you or talk to you weirdly.

Forget you.

Thanks, bye.

Bye.

Parastoo.

I'll wait for your call.

I've moaned in my letter so much I bore you.

It's as if everything I do is wrong.

I ended it

I quit and decided to go quietly home.

Not the truth or lies. Not up or down.

Just silence.

I won't ever have to explain to anyone.

Where to?

She's asleep upstairs.

Hi.

Hi.

Bye.

Although you're young.

You do understand me.

My wife and I grew apart after we had a child.

It was mutual, it didn't bother us much.

She loves to care for her child.

I loved that she was caring for my child.

Love you dad, thanks. -I came to my senses after the next one.

She sees me as an object.

I'm not trying to be boring.

Believe me.

You know more about me than my wife.

It's my job.

We've had your case at our office for two years.

It's hard when no one sees you.

I've been married for a couple of years.

But I'm a stranger in my own home.

Like an object appearing at night.

All mothers are the same.

They care more for their kids.

Excuse me!

Bita.

Happy birthday Parastoo.

I was kidding when I said I couldn't drive.
