And I'm having all these gigantic guilt problems.
And yet again, Kadra comes and is yelling at him.
And then my husband is on the phone with me and says, hey, I'm looking at the flight report, and I think the pilots are Portuguese.
Their names are Portuguese.
I was like, what?
Okay, so at this point, the plane is landing, and I'm running as fast as I can.
As soon as the plane lands, I run to where the plane landed.
One of the pilots is coming out of the plane, and I go up to him before the military is able to get close to him, and I tell him, are you Portuguese?
And he says, yes.
And I said, okay.
Oh, my God.
And I explained everything in Portuguese, what was happening.
And I said, they're saying that he doesn't have the right paperwork.
But if you are OK, that I think you can convince them to let us into the plane because he didn't have the visa for Dubai.
And that was our next stop.
The pilot could say, no, you can't take anyone on your plane if they don't have the visa to go to the next place.
But because he's Portuguese, we spoke our language.
I think in many ways that helped.
And so anyway, fast forward, he starts talking to the military.
Guider is helping.
