Everytime he stood facing towards the east,he did not just love the fascinating view of the pacific ocean. He used to remind himself constantly that beyond the overlapping ocean is a treasure,one that he will go after!

During the era of the mighty Achaemenid Empire in the ancient Persia,the present Iran, Ademir's great grandfather was a Satrap in one of the Satrapies. He was governing Persepolis,present day Takht-e Jamshīd. He served as a foreign ruler in the reign of Alexander the Great and when the Greeks conquered the Persian Empire he moved South East down to Panama which was his native land leaving behind part of his family. this saw a close relationship between Panama and Iran his family from his time in the past to the present.

The movie theatres at Cinema Azadi had become a common place for Ademir. His favourite movie,Pretty Woman used to show every Thursday. He would visit the theatre on any other day but Thursdays were his known days. The lady at the administration block would see him and go, "hey! It's Thursday!" and with a broad smile on his face Ademir would say as he enters the main hall door "yes, Pretty Woman!" Ademir was almost fully convinced that even if he didn't find a reason to smile in a day,this hall entrance was a guarantee spot breezing ardency and he couldn't stop being jaunty. His first step in the hall would always be followed by a straight yet oblique peek at the left corner of the hall before he would let his other leg in. That was always her crash pad. She'd sit there her eyes fixed on her book as she waits for the movie to begin. It was a norm for Ademir to walk past her without a word but a simper. He would say his usual "hello" and she'd respond to that with a "hello" then they"d leave each other with an amicable smile as Ademir passed across to his favourite corner seat.

That however was not the case on this day that Ademir walked straight up to her and his first words were not the wonted hello. "It feels like I have known you for a really long time but every time I want to believe myself and get excited about it I feel ashamed of myself because I don't even know your name. I'm sorry for being too mean not even to ask you how I should call you. Would you mind letting me know your name?" He spellbindingly asked as he looks straight into her eyes. Her voice was tender,mellifluous and sweet to the ear as she answered him, "Caspara,my name is Caspara Bahar." And so in a bliss Ademir placed his hands over his heart and bowed his head as he greeted her. " Salam Bahar, my name is Ademir Reyes." "Reyes? Like Egbert Reyes the great foreign ruler of Persepolis?" She asked as she chuckled. "Yes! I am named after him for he is my great grandfather." He said. Caspara turned to him with a shock, "you don't relate to people like you are born of royalty,do you? We hold your kind in high esteem. Let me tell you something about how the celebration of the leadership of your great grandfather and other great leaders of Persia is important to us. The main event was held at the ancient city of Persepolis , near Shiraz , the local infrastructure had to be improved, including the Shiraz International Airport and a highway to Persepolis. While the press and supporting staff would be housed in Shiraz, the main festivities were planned for Persepolis. An elaborate tent city was planned to house attendees. The area around Persepolis was cleared of snakes and other vermin. Trees and flowers were planted, and 50,000 song birds were imported from Europe. Other events were scheduled for Pasargadae the capital of the Achaemenid Empire , the site of the Tomb of Cyrus, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire , as well as Tehran,the capital of Iran and the event was marked the most expensive party in modern history. That is how important you are Shah!" She exclaimed with a hysterical laughter. "You must have learnt our ways properly then. I'd have expected you to stretch your arm to shake my hand but you didn't,how long have you stayed away from home?" She asked. " A bit of my childhood and better part of my Kārshenāsi,Bachelors Degree. That is long enough for me to learn your ways,don't you think so?" He said.

Later that day,Ademir could not hold back his buzz but it was not just excitement, it was more delirium. He finally had a word with her, but does that mean anything?
