We’d like to share with you a friendly chat between Hamid Bagheri and Beta Taherian.
Hamid: Hi. Beta, what’s up? Tell me everything!
Beta: I was on the road for four hours—that is, eight hours round trip. The night before, I only slept for three hours. I worked on the MJ board all the way until morning.
Hamid: Did you see Michael, too?
Beta: He hugged me—so tightly I can’t even describe it.
Beta: While we were there, behind the main gate of Neverland, the other fans—who had followed him right out of his own court—were standing outside, too. I mean, behind the bars of the Neverland gate.
Hamid: Are there photos of him as well?
...
Beta: Yes. Then when he came in, he arrived with his mother and father in the car. They pulled up, closed the door, and got out. He went into the little room right by the gate—the one belonging to the doorman—so the sun outside wouldn’t bother him. Then I went to him. He liked the board so much; it was really interesting to him.
Hamid: That’s great!
Beta: He asked me, “How did you make this? I love this part.” I explained it to him. He said, “You are very talented.” I told him, “You inspired me.” I hugged him, and he squeezed me so tightly—I didn’t expect it. Karen started taking photos of me right from that moment.
Hamid: Did you take a photo with Michael?
Beta: In that room, it was only me, Michael, Karen, and that boy who was filming with Michael’s personal camera. Then I whispered in his ear: “I love you so very much. Please take care of yourself and promise to be strong.” Michael said, “I promise.”
Hamid: What beautiful moments.
Beta: By the way, Karen said that MJJSource writes about us, but she told me to send them the photos she took. Out of the five of us who were inside, only I had a camera. I gave it to Karen so she could take photos of us—so only I have pictures of these sweet moments.
Hamid: Did you give Michael the kids’ message CD?
Beta: Yes... and that was because I showed it to Karen beforehand and she said, “Okay.”
Hamid: Did you also see Michael’s kids?
Beta: Hamid, if I tell you that they invited us into his house, and I walked around his living room, his kitchen, and everywhere in the house—would you believe me? But at Neverland they said photography was not allowed. I also saw Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
Hamid: I can’t believe it!
Beta: Like three little dolls—standing there, neat and clean—waving and saying bye-bye next to Michael.
I hugged Katherine. I told her, “Please take good care of him.” She said, “They are telling so many lies about him, we don\'t know what to do more.” She was very sad. Then she took me to that big board, full of kids walking with Michael. I don’t know why she specifically wanted me to see that. Even the cook was in the kitchen preparing food! I really can’t describe it for you right now, Hamid.
Hamid: I’m so happy you got to experience this beautiful day.
Beta: From 3 to 6, I was there. And his bodyguard told me, “In all the time I’ve worked for Michael, nobody has ever been allowed to walk around his house like this—going into the living room and everywhere.”
Hamid: I know you’re tired right now, and I don’t want to take up more of your time.
Beta: I’m glad I was able to deliver all the items to Michael himself.
