My life story, Part 26 Once, when I was going to work, it was raining very hard and I had gotten completely wet. When I arrived there, I saw the streets were very crowded and militia didn’t let anyone pass through. The apartment where I worked was close to Ayatollah Ardabili’s office. He was a government official. It was very cold and I was shivering from the cold and asked them to let me through. When one of the militia found out that I was working near Ayatollah Ardabili’s office, took me to his boss. On the way, I noticed that the door to my office was open and some of the clothes and books were robbed and everything had been messed up. The thieves had decided to rob the Ayatollah Ardabili’s office too, but they were captured by the police. They started interrogating me and they thought that I knew the thieves. The reason of their suspicion was that no door was broken and all the doors had been opened with keys, and they suspected that I had provided the thieves with the keys. I swore that I didn’t know anything about what had happened, but they didn’t believe me. They treated me very bad. I was crying when my boss arrived. He started defending me and after a while they let me go and kept my boss instead. It was lucky that they let me go that day. I left quickly and quietly and never returned there again.
