Now that I know how my parents' marriage began and ended, I can hear hints of how the next 30 years would go for them in the different ways they described their feelings at the very beginning. This is my mom, Mina. Mina I thought, he asked me and he's serious. And I thought I'd fall in love with him. And I thought, well, I have to get married and he was right there.
Nazanin Rafsanjani So wait. He was right there or you were in love with him? Mina He was right there and I liked him a lot. Then I thought I liked him a lot. I loved him I guess then. Yeah, I think. I was only 19 for God's sake.
Nazanin Rafsanjani Were you in love with Mina? Abbas Yeah. Nazanin Rafsanjani Tell me how you felt. Abbas Well, love is love. I don't know how to explain about love. When you love somebody, you want to do everything for her. Nazanin Rafsanjani This is my dad, Abbas. It was always less complicated for my dad. From the beginning, he loved my mom. And from the beginning, my mom didn't know what it meant to love him.
