The astute amongst you will have realised that I haven't mentioned Hussein's wife, well that is in deed a story to be told. Driving to his house he said his wife was in Germany, so naturally we thought she was on holiday. At his house we met his two lovely children Fatuallah boy of 13 and Delluram girl of 10. And during our stay the story of their lives were related to us. Hussein was 48 and had lived in Germany and studied there for 20 years. After this time his mother thought he should marry an Iranian wife so he came back to Iran was introduced to a girl known to the family but about 16 years younger than him. They met for two weeks then agreed to marry, with about 500 people to the wedding. After 2 years living in Iran the girls parents urged him to take the girl back to Germany, which he did and 3 children were born, and he had a taxi business working long hours and paying nearly all his earnings in rent and to live. After his mother died they decided to return to Iran and live in his mothers house, essentially having a better life with no rent and he could work in a more stimulating job. After a couple of years something must have happened but we don't know what and he says neither does he, but HER parents in particular her father organised to take a trip to Tehran where they secretly organised for her to get a German passport along with her small 3 year old girl who was a German citizen, at the German embassy and travel documents, then they just simply disappeared with the help of her sister who was a travel agent ( she got us tickets to fly to Shiraz). SO she left her husband and two older kids and he's had no contact since. WOW. This was all a few years ago and it probably wasn't a nice time but it seems he has sporadic contact with her mother and sister but the young boy said his grandfather wouldn't see his father. Amazingly we all had dinner together and unknowingly I was asking questions about the sisters wedding last year and had her sister come to that. NO. Of course not. Hussein keeps contact for his kids sake and knows the sister was taking photos that night of he kids to send to his wife. The kids I feel sorry for and interestingly the boy makes every effort to keep speaking German and watches German satellite tv, and his dream is to play soccer for Germany one day. I have a feeling he wants to make sure he can speak German to his mum, or if she comes to get him he can still speak it. Although he says it's better in Iran!! So that's the story of Hussein's wife, a real life version of the book/ film 'Not without my daughter.' It's probably quite common only we don't know it. What a sacrifice, she can't come back to Iran or her parents or sister and has left her kids. WOW!!!!
