O.K. I was saying that when we returned we lived with his family and I went to IBM and Bahman went to sarbazi. I was a coworker with sassan kamali,and nooshin later joined ibm,thou fereydoon went to ISIRAN a rival for IBM. But I was a newlywed and could not keepup with long hours of IBM,so I was told to leave since I said I want to work to live not to live to work or something in that nature. (By the way now that I am writing these lines I am in a bus going to chumash casino just to pass time, while I write these memoires). At this time Bahman finished his sarbazi and started working in sazemane gostareshe sanaei(industrial advancement) an office made for general’s children we were told,thou they did a lot for arak machinery and kashan something. As for me after I left IBM I started working in darbar.
Well we had our first disagreement after humiliation over the leather bed and vanity and dresser that I bought and Bahman and his family made fun of it and the fact that nobody from my side of family could visit me or were invited ,I went to my mother’s house(ghahr kardam). Bahman came after me and said he loves me and agreed that we rent an apt. thou it was still in elahieh/fereshteh and we would spend most evenings with them. My mother came to get me and my clothes when I left and said nothing about staying. I should mention that before this incident I was told to go to darbar and start a job there. I used my computer skills and digital computer to work on a project that a database full of Shah’s activity was made and you could retrieve info on history of iran per words and tags. ISIRAN was helping with that project and shirin Javid and zoya and mandana were helping with that project. In the end when it was ready and the king wanted to visit the project I said I want to leave for America for a visit to my brother! I really did not do it for the Shah,but for the country and its history. You see in political activities I was towards Mossadegh and they were towards Shah and Bahman was too English to care for the difference.
He even could not read and write Farsi. His first love letter to me was so shocking to me cause he wrote you put the knife in my heart and turn it!! How awful, in Farsi we never get so cruel ,love letters are full of roses and moons and rivers,like maybodi’s poems, no chaghhhhhooo and turning . ikhhhh….
I learned how to make kateh(a kind of rice) from Timsar. I must admit I knew nothing about cooking,cleaning,washing and stuff.We always had servants and all women in our family were like men or did men’s jobs and held office positions so we were not taught like other girls how to be a housewife or keep a husband and all so I learned how to cook Chinese food,gjigo, and beef strogonof? from Bahman and kateh from Timsar. Thou I can make delicious food but that was never a goal or important I my mind. He cooked and I washed dishes. Timsar used to say one should be able to live in one room in a ship and manage,my uncle amoojoon farvardin was an army man and with the same mentality. Timsar also asked us what do you think about the time vaiahd(son of theKing) come to power, we all said he would have a difficult time cause we saw confederation shaping up at Purdue and people did not want a monarchy system anymore, no offends to Vaiahd(The Shah’s son,Reza pahlavi who lived close to me whenI was in Virginia and I ran into him once in the circuit city store!).
Bahman and I moved to the one bedroom apt. and I changed my job to sazemane barnameh. I guess after I did not stay to show the project to Shah I was not welcome anymore,thou before that Hoveyda the prime minister came over and saw it ansd asked questions and TV showed it. Timsar said "chap mirim roya khanoom ,rast mirim roya khanoom",meaning the Tv was showing me from right and left. Also once Timsar …..(forgot his name, a big shut) came to visit and we asked him when he was born and I entered in the computer and told him you were born on a Tuesday… and he said how do I know, I said you can ask your mother and the room got quiet.Later Dariush Shafa my boss told me its better that you are not attending the day Shah is visiting cause you give sharp comments. I always said what was in my mind and still do. Well he said I hope I can escape Savak saying Roya wants to visit his brother than the king, I said you can say cause he is sick,to be safe, he wants the job done and I did it. Timsar being a politician showed a little reaction, thou I am sure while we were developing the software he was telling about it to the Shah. Timsar kinda got to know me and even during revolution I surprised him. I tell the rest later,for now we moved to our new apt. in fereshteh and tried to work out our marriage. NOW LEAVE A COMMENT(like a donation!!-God it ain’t easy to remember those days believe me).
