Yannick: So_ who did you write to?

Mazammel: Uh, to my dad.

Yannick: hm. And why did you write to him.

Mazammel: (inhale) uh, it's like I wanted to say him something which I never said to him verbally. (inhale) Just like something from .. inner of my heart. Just uh, he was like, he's so supportive to me. I've never seen, like, faced someone in my life who supports me this much. It's-it's different. I have many friends, many relatives—this support, but this .. my dad like he is different. That's why I wrote to him.
00:00:42-4

Yannick: Can you tell me something about him?

Mazammel: Okay … (inhale) uh .. mm, he's a practical guy. With uh, like an open nature. He's frank, uh, doesn't hide anything .. within himself, if he wants to share he shares you, and, if you have something good or bad, he—like discusses with me, and like, with everyone in the family. Just like .. all are clear between each other (? 00:01:21-3 ). (inhale) And, like he's the one who is mainly holding the family. With uh, like uh … clear vision and clear relationships. Deep relationships, would you say. That is what I would like to say about him.
00:01:38-3
Yannick: alright. Uh, why are you separate?

Mazammel: Uh, actually my dad is in my country. So, I came here for uh .. job. So, I'm working here .. that's the reason.

Yannick: Hm.

Mazammel: That's the reason. Nothing else.

Yannick: Who didn't you write to?

Mazammel: Who didn't I write to? Uh … one of my friend. Close friend. I was like planning to write to her .. and my dad. So I .. picked on my dad. (laugh)

Yannick: Hm. And-and why not her?
00:02:21-3
Mazammel: mm—it's like, the role which my dad played in my life is more than hers. That's why I just—I don't know, my heart picked him. Instead of her.

Yannick: hm. What does it feel like when you miss someone, for you?

Mazammel: (inhale) uh… it's a difficult question, actually. (laughing) It has uh … different type of feelings. Like in .. different moments you feel them in a different way. (inhale) So, the most, uh .. like the strongest feeling which is related to missing someone is like, you have everything in the world. But, you don't have that person to share with him. Or her, whatever you say. You don't have the person near you to share with him. It's-it's painful. I would to say. Uh, painful and .. okay (inhale)—it hurts. (laugh) and that's it.
00:03:31-9
Yannick: And where does it hurt?

Mazammel: (tsk) inner. Inner self. It's not like eh in your mind or somewhere. It's like, you have something or some type of feeling inside your heart. Like a … you can't show it to anyone (laugh) but in—inner you.

Yannick: mm

Mazammel: It's .. it's just inside.

Yannick: great. Uh, that's it for questions. Is there anything you'd like to tell us about yourself?

Mazammel: (exhales) myself, uh… I've been uh … I passed through different stages of my life. I would like to say, I was bordered with my dad, mostly. I was away from my mom because uh .. my dad, like he was in a different country—he used to work there. Uh.. during my education, mm—my mom had to go back to my homeland. .. Due to family reasons. So, I stayed with my dad. . . . He taught me .. more about reality. More than, the .. uh how do you say .. imaginary stuffs. So, me, myself, like I'm a practical guy. But still I have some moments when I miss the near ones. (laugh) Near and dear ones. So. And … hamdulilah, uh … at present, … the life is uh—what do you say?—it's pleasant. It's good.

Yannick: mm
00:05:27-8
Mazammel: The time I'm passing now is uh, I .. like uh, I believe that it's one of the—the time is the, eh, like some of the best period of my life. Is what I'd like to say at present.

Yannick: alright

Mazammel: That's it.

Yannick: That's it. //Alright, thank you so much.//

Mazammel: // (laughing) // Thanks a lot. Nice talking to you.

Yannick: So we'll uh, we'll just get you to sign the thing/

Mazammel: /okay
