She said:
"Joseph, what you say how other people have done you wrong; you have done the same thing to me, by not printing the book you promised me."Those were some 'sharp' words. The only way you could understand how sharp those words were, was to understand the history behind what she said.The Emperor Shahjahan of India, had the Taj Mahal built. Eric Clapton penned and recorded the song Layla. And now Joseph Stout wrote, and published Language of the Heart, and GOD's Pearl of Great Price. One a structure, another a song, and the last, literature. All three different, yet all three have the same common reason why they built, recorded, and published what they did: Love.Love for a woman, they loved with all their hearts. Emptying their very heart and soul, expressing their love, to them, as well as to the world. I had spent twenty-plus years in the Dry-Cleaning industry, in various levels of management and in the sales & marketing side of the business.I met Princess Mahsa while working for a Dry-Cleaning company. In the course of out friendship, and then into our relationship, I told her of how employers and others had done me wrong. $10,000 to $20,000 I never saw; a partnership that never was; a sell of a business that was never to be. These are just a few.She knew how much I felt like I had been jilted. So when she told me what she did, that I had done her just as wrong, by not printing the book for her I had promised. I understood how much I had hurt her. Those words 'cut deep'.Let me give you a little history behind the 'book' that she was talking about.I had taken a new position with the company I had been working for; moving to a new city, in another county, in the same state I lived in. Two years and seven months prior to taking this new position with my company, for the first time in eigthteen years, I was living a single life again.With this move within the company, it gave me a chance to put everything behind me. I felt comfortable about the move; meeting new people, and starting a new life.Then three days later, before I even had a chance to get my new life off the ground, 'fate' stepped into my life. Or was it, what happened three days later, 'fate' revealed what it had been planning all along.Whichever way it was, I stepped upon her doorstep, and within a millisecond of her opening up her front door, I saw what I had been looking for since I was about the age of ten.Yes, I saw her outward beauty. But more than that, in that millisecond of time, I saw her heart. To what others I, a Mother, a neighbor, a friend, a business person, a sister, a daughter, a cousin or aunt, and to one, an ex-wife, I saw in her heart; GOD's Pearl. About a month later, we were seeing each other as friends, and eventually I woke up one morning and realized I was in 'Love'. My heart racing so wildly, it felt like a million wild stallions all corralled up within my heart, all going in different directions, trying to break free. I couldn't wait until the next time I could see her, or talk to her on the phone.I started writing her letters, emptying out my heart and soul, expressing my love for her. One letter lead to another letter. And that letter lead to another. After nearly a year of writing love letters to her, she asked me to put these letters in a book. I agreed; but then another year had passed, then another, and still no book. Why? Because I was too busy writing more Love letters; emptying out my soul.When we first met, Princess Mahsa wore several hats. One said "single mom of four children". Another said "chairman, CEO, COO, CFO of her own business". Yet another said "A friend that friends can call on, a sister to her brothers, a daughter to her mother and father".So when I came into her life, it meant another hat for her to wear. Her life was already busy enough without me in it. But she found time to work me into her busy schedule. So the more I saw her, the more I missed her. So how do I release the desire in my heart to see her again and again and again? Write more letters. That is the only way, I found to keep my heart from "!exploding!". Finally, one day; those words. They cut deep. I understood the hurt and the pain, because she was expressing to me the hurt in her heart, by using my own experience of being hurt.That is when I got busy publishing the first Romance Novel; 'Language of the Heart', and the second; 'GOD's Pearl of Great Price'. The penname for both is Mohamad Rezar. The name I chose to use, because of the name she gave me; Mohamad Reza. I added the 'r'.I chose not to have a professional editor, because I did not want to have the letters given a fake sense of passion; in other words, not to have passion diluted. I did have a professional editor do a letter for me, for them to show me what they could do. It was so watered down, it was almost like reading from a Romance Novel.All the letters are in their original content, except names of people and places, yearly dates, and very personal things are omitted.If you want to read about a real life romance, told in a 'Once upon a time way', then you can't go wrong. The romance is real. It is my romance, and the published Romance Novels, are a result of my Love for Princess Mahsa.
