One night, our friends and I decided to gather and enjoy the night together. One friend and I went to a supermarket to buy some food. I was wandering in market and suddenly saw a girl. I opened the conversation and everything went well. So after a while she had my phone number in her mobile. We enjoyed that night with guys and two days passed. Then she called me and we managed a date. That also went well and she told me that she is interested to participate in university entrance exam of graduate schools and needs some place to study. I suggested her one of libraries of the city. So we managed and went there together for a week.

After one week of studying (our dates were always in library) I decided to go out for hiking with her. So one night we wore our sport shoes and went in the street. We were hiking and gaping and laughing. Suddenly I saw a police car stayed beside us and the officer said:

“Please come here.”

I went there and the officer told me, what your relationship with her is.

“She is my friend (girl-friend)” I said very relax.

He asked me to show an identity card. I was lucky I had one with. After watching the card, asked the girl to get on the car; since her manteau according to that officer was a bit short (to see pictures of manteau click here). There was a woman in Chador at the backseat of the car and asked her to get on. I insisted why should such a thing be and asked them to let us go. The officer told me that my cloth in OK, but we take the girl to the station and have her to sign a promise not to ever wear such a thing again! Also he told me “I’m doing favor to you because you’re not also intimate to each other (Married or engaged in accordance to Islamic law; which is an Islamic sin and two unrelated persons should be on trial) “.

Then that woman asked me not to worsen the situation. And I realized I should be silenced because they may also arrest me and make the situation harder. We were very lucky, because everyone knows that police in Iran arrests both boy and girl.

So I went to the police station by taxi and waited there for her mother to set her free. Do you know what was I doing meantime? I was thinking why this should happen; what did we do? For what sin? I was cursing the first cause.

I hated the Islamic laws once again; I hated Islam once again.
