Nobody Recognized Mosayeb

The movie was relevant to a film regarding the final days of Mosayeb’s commission to the west of Iran. It was supposed that electricity supply to be provided to the far remote villages of west country; but the Power Ministry had announced since there are some landmines in the way of electricity supply, we can not provide electricity to these far remote villages located in west of Iran.

The lot also fell upon Mosayeb to neutralize the landmines that were in the electricity supply direction.

The camera was moving. It was filming the work of Mosayeb and it showed that Mosayeb would find the landmines one after another and then he would neutralize them as well. After that he put all the neutralized landmines inside a trench and he exploded them.

In all the moments that Mosayeb has been filmed, you can not distinguish him, if you had not known him already. He had put a hat on his head and he had put the edge of the hat in a position that seems he does not want anyone to know him at all or to distinguish him and or to know that what he is doing currently.

When the landmines were exploded, Mosayeb got happy and he removes the dust of his uniforms to leave. The filmmaker calls him: “Haj Agha! Please introduce yourself and let us know what you have done here!”?

Mosayeb holds his head high and he says: “You yourself saw what I did here and again he continues walking.”?

The filmmaker asks: “Don’t you have any message, speech or words to express?”?

Mosayeb returns and he says: “Can you provide a MOVIE of the film that you took right now for me?”?

The filmmaker says: “That is possible, but I should copy it and then send it to you. But you should let me know, for what purpose do you want this film?”?

Mosayeb responds: “I want to take this MOVIE home and to show to my family that what my job is in the battlefields and how difficult it is.”?

When Mosayeb said this sentence, I cried in tears. I was thinking about this issue that how is the destiny of a person who went to the battlefields of Iran-Iraq war along with martyr Chamran at the beginning of the war and after the war his work was neutralizing the landmines in the border cities of Iran. But he feels that still his family does not know what he has been doing in the battlefields?”?

On the day that his body was being escorted, many authorities had attended his funeral procession and they would talk about him so much and I wish these words and speech would be expressed when he was alive.

The End
