"I had no idea it was your position I was offered" "But I knew it..." "From the first time you came to the bank" "You"ve always caused me disasters" " Why?" "What did I do to you?" " What did you do?" "I suppose you left your wife for me" "Do you think I"m lying?" "Remember I was stuck with a sick mother and two small sisters..." "And we couldn"t wait years for you to get established in your career" "And I..." "I needed someone who..." " Who was rish, I understand" " Yeah, so he could take loads off my back" "And not become a problem for me" "What's the big deal anyway?" "As you can see everything got messed up and I returned back worse than before" " l suppose for me?" " Listen Goshtasb..." "As far as I remember work's always been pleasure for me" "This job isn"t important for me there will be otherjobs" " May I?" " Sure" "But I"ve always worked for others for my mother, for my sisters" "But now my sisters have grown up and gotten married and mother and my husband are dead now" "My life"s become shallow and worthless" "Who can I work for now?" " l know you"re not bad by nature" " By nature?" "Bad?" "How do you know that?" " l don"t have a good reputation - l know... I know you did certain things a few years ago and now you"re bothering that couple..." " You"ve threatened the wife and you"ve written a letter to her husband" " Okay...so that's it!" "So you"re trying to rescue your friends no matter how!" "Why didn"t you say so sooner?" " But it's notjust that Goshtasb" " What then?" "God you are stupid!" "Frankly now that I"m fired for sure and I"ll be leaving definitely... lt doesn"t matter to me anymore you want me to take that letter back?" " Do you?" " No" "Why not?" "I can ask him to return it to me saying that it's about my resignation and I don"t want him to read it..." "OK?" "No" " lsn"t that what you want?" " Never mind that letter lt's better if Hesam finds out about everything" "They should learn about each other well... ln fact..." "let everything come out in the open" "What's the big deal?" "Sara..." " What happened?" " l talked to him" " And?" " You should tell everything to your husband it's better to be honest with him I won"t tell him..."

" Don"t get upset over me, let's go - l said do you know what you"ve done?" "Answer me" "Do you know?" "Do you understand?" "Yeah, I"m starting to realize" "During all these years the woman who was my love, my everything..." "A liar and a cheater no worse than that!" "I"m so stupid for not knowing something like this would have happened for sure" "You didn"t think of my reputation at all" " An irresponsible person like you..." " Yeah, very much so" "Why can"t you understand now that corrupted person can own me?" "He can do everything he wants with me now..." "He can ask for anything he wants now he can order me anyway he likes to" " Hello sir" " Hello" " Are you leaving sir?" " Yeah" " Should I close the door?" " Yes" "He can do as he wants with me and I don"t dare object..." "All this over a lunatic and crazy woman" "What a disaster God!" "Everything will be alright if I"m out of your way and you"ll be rid of me" "You"ve learnt all this from your father What good would that do me?" "Now Goshtasb can scream everywhere that I was in it with him..." "And that I was your accomplice too" "Meaning I was the one who forced you to do it" "Do you understand what you"ve done now?" "[ music from a car ]" "They all will think..." "Didn"t you think what they would say..." "Won"t anyone say how Sara was able to come up with four million tomans..." "Without her husband knowing?" "To borrow it from Goshtasb?" " What did he get in return to agree to loan you that money?" " What do you mean?" " Even the thought of it makes me crazy" " Shame on you" " Am I lying?" " Yes you are" "Why didn"t you tell me then?" "You should have let them treat me right here" " Why with borrowed money, and his money?" " lt would have taken a long time..." " You were dying Hesam!" " You should have let me die then!" "It would have been better than this!" "How stupid of me for beating myself over the head for not having thanked your father..." "For all those expenses..." "What's done is done, we have to think of a solution, we have to make that slime happy anyway we can" "This must not leak out no matter how" "We have to act as if nothing"s happened" "Of course you will live here as usual..." "But I won"t let you raise my baby anymore... I can"t get myself to leave that kid with a crazy woman like you" "The auntie will do" "[ door bell ]" " Yes" " Will you inform Mr. Hesam his ride is here?"

" Hi Sara, it's me Sima" "Come in Sima" " Hi Sara" " Hi" " How are you?" " Fine, and you?" " Sorry to bother you so early - lt's alright I wanted to come here before Hesam goes to work and does something serious..." "Or to let Goshtasb go back to work or something like that... I talked to him a lot yesterday and made him change his mind" "Frankly I figured now that it's not a secret anymore we shouldn"t let it leak out of the four of us" "He"ll explain everything personally can he come in?" " Hello ma"am" " Hello I"m here to officially apologize to you and to Mr. Hesam, believe me I"m sorry" "Where is Hesam?" "Ms. Amiri explained some things to me, sorry Sima, thanks... ls he upstairs?" "May I?" "Sorry but I must see Hesam" " Hesam..." " l don"t want to see anyone!" "I predicted you didn"t want to see me..." "And so I wrote everything for you" "Listen Sara, he"s returning all the bonds give me the money to give it to him" "I"ll give him the money..." "Bye for now Sara" " Sara" " Yes?" "Come up here" " Sara..." " Yes?" "Come in" "Come in..." "Read it, here" "Very unlikely of that person, strange!" " l"m saved!" " How great!" "He says he regrets it and that he"s very sorry and that something good"s happened to him very recently... I guess he"s found a very sensitive love relationship with Sima" "And he returned your bonds Give them to me" "Oh Thank you God!" "It was very difficult!" "Thank God!" "It's over, over" "Come" "Why are you looking at me like that?" " l wanna talk to you Hesam - l don"t get it, what's the matter?" "We haven"t had a serious talk within the past years" " Sara..." " l"ve been treated unjustly" "First by my father and then you Neither of you ever thought of me" " What are you talking about?" " l had to listen to everything my dad would say when I was at his house I had to shut up even if I had something to say for myself because dad didn"t like it..." "And then I turned up in your house without knowing what had happened..." "And here too I had to be the same little lady who had to be taught how to behave" "You are truly ungrateful Sara So you haven"t been comfortable in this house?" "No I haven"t been I thought I was but I never was!" "What's the big deal?" "Everything must change from now on..." " We must learn from experiences learn how to live" " Who"s we?" "Me or you?" " You, me, our child, everyone" " No Hesam, no... I thought you didn"t trust me anymore?" "That I wasn"t worthy to raise your kid?" "You went as far as getting suspicious" "Okay, I was wrong I was angry... I suddenly realized everything was getting screwed up, I didn"t mean it though" "You didn"t mean anything?" "So I"m not worthy to raise the kid?" "You"re right, I have to correct myselffirst" "Yeah" " That's why I"m leaving you Hesam" " What did you say?" " l must be on my own completely if I"m supposed to learn anything" " Sara..." " l"m only taking things you don"t need" " This is completely insane!" " l"m going back to my father's house" " What for though?" "I can think better there as far as what the hell to do with my life" "Look..." "Sara" "Hold on..." "Sara" "Since when you wear glasses?" " Yes?" " Hello" " With such thick lenses - l need a cab sir..." " Yes, your address please..." "Number 69, Asef St., Mr. Hesam"s residence I"m going to Narmak" " lt'll be right there" " Thank you" "You really have gone crazy, you"re leaving the house, what will everyone say?" " People will always talk no matter what" " You have a fever Sara, you"ve gone nuts!" " Just the contrary, I"m just fine - l know what's wrong with you" "Your heart is no longer with me" "Yeah... I don"t love you anymore Hesam!" " Sara!" " You..." "You"ve always been good to me but as God is my witness I can"t help it I don"t love you anymore I knew it well that things like that didn"t happen everyday and that miracles don"t happen..." "But all the time Goshtasb" letter was sitting on your desk l never even thought that you would consent to his conditions... I mean I kept thinking that a miracle would happen... I was sure you"d tell him to go and tell the whole world about it..." "And once he would have done it..." "And when he would have done so?" "What would have happened?" "I would have ruined my marriage and reputation with my own hands..." "No...if that had happened I was sure you"d step forward and would have accepted all consequences..." "And that you"d say that's right I"m the culprit..." "Once you would have found out that I kept myself in that basement for three years to needle away... I lost my vision for your health..." "But you didn"t do the same thing for me!" "To make a sacrifice!" "No, you didn"t" "So what reasons did I have to be happy about you Hesam?" "That was the very miracle I waited for anxiously which didn"t let me kill myself!" "Sara..." "I"ve been happy about working my back off night and day..." "And to go through every hardship for you and the kid to be comfortable..." "But believe me when I tell you this there isn"t a single man who"d sacrifice his dignity for his wife and love" "But every single woman does it constantly!" "Once the fear was gone..." "Once you weren"t threatened by any danger anymore, it was as if nothing had happened I turned back to the same little spoiled lady whom you had to watch over not to do anything wrong" "That's when I realized I"d been living with a stranger for five years and had a baby with him I can"t, I want to tear myself to pieces when I think about it" "Sara..." " Where do you think you"re taking the kid?" "I won"t let you" " Get out of my way..." " You can"t order me anymore" " Wait now Sara..." " lt's no big deal" " Just like that?" "Give it to me" " l"m no good for you anymore" " Hold on Sara, come on dear..." "What's the rush now?" "Sara..." "Don"t go now Sara..." "Wait till tomorrow, Sara..." " l"ll send Sima later on to get me my stuff" " How long do you plan to be away?" "What's all this nonsense about Sara?" "Good God!" "What's the rush now?" "When are you gonna forget about this?" "You and I have to change a lot Hesam... ln order to understand what it's all about" "Let's go"
