Amir now enters Afghanistan with the help of Farid. Farid
doesn’t like Amir at first because he thought that the only reason that Amir
return to Afghanistan to sell off property and make money. Farid bring Amir to
Wahid’s house, he is served a dinner. While eating, Amir told Wahid and his
family that he has to return to Afghanistan in order to rescue his brother’s
son.
Amir enters Kabul and he was shocked by the destruction and
begging children. Amir and Farid is finding the place where Sohrab is living.
Amir asks the director to help him find Sohrab by referring to his skills with
the slingshot. After the director allows Farid and Amir in, he regretfully
informs Amir that a Talib Official had come to the orphanage and bought Sohrab.
After that, the director tells Amir and Farid to go to Ghazi stadium and look
for the Talib official with the black sunglasses, those people know where
Sohrab is.
Amir and Farid visit Amir’s childhood place before they will
go to Ghazi stadium to find the official who bought Sohrab. The stadium is
filled with people. Amir goes in alone to see the official. Sohrab is dressed
almost like a court jester, wearing make-up, and forced to dance. Amir realizes
that the official is actually Assef. Assef beats Amir badly, breaking his nose
and teeth. The fight ends when Sohrab points his slingshot at Assef. His shot
takes out Assef’s eye. Sohrab helps Amir out of the house. After that , Farid
drives them away.
Amir wakes up two days later in a hospital with a broken jaw
and other injuries. Rahim Khan has left the town, leaving a letter for Amir. He
tells Amir that he should forgive himself for what happened to Hassan and he
should also forgive Baba someday.Rahim Khan also leaves his money in a safe
deposit box for Amir. Amir needs to leave soon because the Taliban are looking
for him. Amir takes him to Islamabad. Amir wakes up one night and Sohrab is
gone. He looked for him by the mosque. Sohrab is ashamed of what Assef did to
him, Amirs offers to take him to live with him in America. A man at the
American Embassy in Islamabad says adopting Sohrab is impossible, due to the
fact that Amir would need death certificates of his parents. He needs to prove
that Sohrab is really his half nephew.
Amir enters to talk with Sohrab, but Sohrab has cut one of
his wrists with a razorblade. Amir was still screaming after the ambulance
arrived. Sohrab tries to commit suicide rather than be put in an orphanage. He
survies, but he wanted to die. Amir and Sohrab go home to America. At a party
held by the American Afghan community, Amir buys Sohrab a kite. Both of them
kite fight together, just as he and Hassan had done years earlier. Amir is
Sohrab’s kite runner, from that time Sohrab smiles at him.
