Saed News: Pari Ghafari published her memoirs, which are about her romantic relationship with Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in a book titled "Until the Darkness Traps the King" after the 1979 revolution.
Saed News: According to the historical section of Saed News, citing Eghtesadnews, the story of the king and Pari is about a girl who, through the mediation of Ferdows and her mother, found her way to the royal court and dreamed of becoming a queen, eventually becoming the companion of the king for a while. However, after the king married Soraya Esfandiari, he discarded her like waste, and her dream of the palace of her wishes burst like a bubble. Parvin Ghafari was actually tasked with entertaining the king during the separation between the king and Fawzia.
The failed marriage of Pari and Ali Ashouri, which was orchestrated by the conspiracy of Pari's mother and Ali's father, lost its stability after four months, and Pari’s mother realized that this ladder to advancement was not firm. She then tried another way to help her daughter in her misery. Pari had reluctantly entered into marriage with Ali Ashouri from the beginning. Pari's mother, with the mediation of Hossein Ferdows, tried to get a divorce for her.
The display by Ferdows and Parvin's mother for meeting the king was very interesting.
Pari recalls her first meeting with the king:
"... I felt like I was walking on clouds. I felt lucky to be walking beside the king, unaware that, like a trapped prey, I had fallen into the hands of a ruthless man."
The king and Pari made another appointment. The next day, the king called at 11 AM and said, "... I thought of you all night, I want you to be my guest tonight at the palace so we can get to know each other more."
At that time, everyone knew that Fawzia had left Iran and had no intention of returning. Meanwhile, Pari's mother, in collusion with Ferdows and with the help of a lawyer named Arsalan Khalatbari, obtained her divorce from Ali Ashouri. Pari's mother thought her daughter would soon become the queen of Iran.
After breaking off her engagement with Ali Ashouri, Pari gained her freedom. Her nightly dream was to be in the royal court and with the king. Pari's father opposed her going to the royal court and reprimanded his wife.
It was 7 AM when Amir-Sadeghi (the king's driver) arrived and took her car to the palace.
Pari and Amir-Sadeghi arrived at the palace... Amir-Sadeghi left, leaving her alone. A hand touched Pari’s shoulder from behind. She turned around—it was the king... When she woke up in the morning, she realized she had lost her childhood and maidenhood... A sense of impurity overtook her... She still hadn’t been married to the king.
The king asked Pari not to tell anyone, not even her parents, about what had happened until a formal wedding ceremony could be held.
A month had passed since the night she spent with the king. In that month, she hadn’t slept in the palace again.
The king had ordered that a house be bought for her on the palace street so she could be close to him. Every month, 5,000 toman was supposed to be given to Pari’s mother to cover her living expenses.
The king advised Pari to avoid overeating and drinking too much so she would remain beautiful and well-shaped... She was with the king three days a week: on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays... On the king's orders, a tailor and a beautician would dress her up like a doll to entertain the king during his personal moments.
Parvin Ghafari, about her time with the king, said: "When dining, the king would slowly drink alcohol and sometimes fill my glass... Sometimes, away from the guards and under the trees, we would sit on the ground or on a bench; at such times, he would take my hand and look into my eyes..."
Around 11 PM, the owner of the doll was done, and the doll had to return to her cabinet.
Pari said: "I, like... after fulfilling my duty, would place the gifts he gave me in my purse... At least the benefit of these jewels was my mother's happiness."
Pari's mother thought that the king and Pari were spending their engagement period together, while Pari was sure that there would be no marriage.
