Relover: Esmaeil, Narrated By His Wife

Relover
Masoumeh and Ismael were cousins. They grew up in a small oil-rich town in Southern Iran, which had turned to a residential area for so many English and American soldiers. Engrossed in his books since childhood, he came to the conclusion that the authoritarian monarchy at the time could no longer be brooked, thus leading him to the idea of objecting to the dependent regime. He managed to invite her to his cause, and they were no longer cousins only, but comrades too. They then both headed for university in Tehran, the capital. By and by, their thirst for truth-seeking confrontation raged and the nations’ endeavor erupted into a revolution. Following the victorious Islamic Revolution, they also got married. Ismael was appointed the head of Guardian Corps in their own town. Soon after that, Saddam and its allies launched their offensive into Iran, which came as a shock. Then, Ismael, a full-time fighter for his causes, had to dedicate himself to tracing Iraqi’s movements and devising plans.
