Dear Khosnoo.
:10:36
...we have lived together for 17 years
and in all these years.

:10:41
I have asked myself how much this man,
the man with whom I have lived, knows me.

:10:48
I know you for the most part.
:10:49
You have the priviledge of being a man,
and that is why you can talk...

:10:54
about your thoughts, school memories,
different American colleges, camping trips...

:10:58
...and other adventures around the world.
But what about me?

:11:02
I'll be 40 in six months. What oppurtunity
have I had to introduce myself to you,

:11:08
...as I am
rather than as others want want me to be?

:11:11
It's been a long time that
I've wanted to give you this notebook.

:11:18
...but I never found it necessary.
:11:22
Until you told me about the woman in Shiraz
who is now awaiting your decision.

:11:29
I should have talked to you.
:11:30
I should have told you many things
about my real self.

:11:34
Maybe telling you will help this woman
who is awaiting her death.

:11:38
Maybe her death would be
the result of a wrong decision.

:11:41
I know I'm taking a risk by recounting
these memories, but dear, in my age...

:11:48
...one has the right to be herself and
I will willingly pay the price.

:11:58
I don't have any enjoyable memory
of my childhood.
