I didn't write the entire truth
in the questionnaire.

1:30:03
...but I didn't lie either.
1:30:05
I remained silent, a silence
that has lasted until this day.

1:30:11
I answered the questionnaire
as to show, at first glance.

1:30:14
...that I was a stupid, provincial girl.
I was sure that it would work.

1:30:19
But unfortunately, Mr. Rastegar
was one of the persons responsible...

1:30:23
...for reviewing the applications,
and he knew me well.

1:30:26
And it was him who informed me of
my permanent expulsion from the university.

1:30:49
Is there a problem?
1:30:50
But like many people
during those years,

1:30:53
...I was interested in
the political issues of the time.

1:30:57
I understand.
1:30:59
I'll help you.
We'll register you.

1:31:13
You had important connections
to get you back,

1:31:16
...but I won't stand idle.
1:31:23
Rastegar's reaction was
not rooted in his beliefs.

1:31:27
...but in a grudge, in deep hostility.
1:31:31
Maybe if we had had the chance
to talk face to face,

1:31:34
...we could have solved
many misunderstandings.

1:31:36
But there weren't any oppurtunities,
and the grudge remained.

1:31:39
Anyway, all of his efforts proved futile.
1:31:42
...and I finished my studies
with a great deal of fear and anxiety.

1:31:45
And that was because of your efforts.
1:31:46
I was caught off guard
when you asked me to marry you.

1:31:49
...but you said I was worth it.
1:31:51
My darling, my worth wasn't only
in the kindness I gave your mother,

1:31:56
I have more important qualities
which neither you nor anybody else saw.
