Yannick: My first question is, Who did you write to?

Rashid: To my wife.

Yannick: To your wife. And why?

Rashid: "Because I love her—too much. Because I write this letter, for to, to take care about her, and about my kids. And I told her I love her too much."

Yannick: Uh, Would you mind telling me a bit about her?

Rashid: Uh—especially for what?

Yannick: Anything really.

Rashid: About her life, for example? About—especially her personal details?

Yannick: About her life, sort of, how-how you know her. You love her so much; what makes you love her so much?
00:00:52-3
Rashid: Because she is the first girl I love her. Uh, It is long time . . . dealing with her. Around 15 years. When I was 16 years old. 'Cause this, why I love her too much. She is nearest to me—she is relative to me. She is my cousin('s?). Um, That's it (incomprehensible)

Yannick: Okay. Um, how did you-how did you come apart? How did you end up being apart? So, why are you here now and she's not?

Rashid: Sorry?

Yannick: Uh, why are you—why is she not here with you?

Rashid: Because I came with my friend, today. Because uh—is pregnant on this time. 'Cuz she—it is difficult to come here, and get around. Should be nearest to Hospital. And with her mother. That's why I didn't bring her.

Rashid: Do you know, in this time—really really—in this time I am too much thinking about her because, uh . . . after finish delivery. . . I am scared about this uh, situation. It is too much thinking about this. But I—I hope to—not—I miss her too much. But I hope to not, uh . . .miss her forever, you understand? That's it.

Yannick: And when you miss her? What does it feel like?
