The Kite Runner (End)
After Baba's passing, Rahim Khan (Baba's friend) convinces Amir to come back to Pakistan so he can talk to him. Rahim is very ill and old so he wanted to tell Amir something very important that his father Baba has never told. Plot twist Hassan is Baba's child, that is why Baba and Hassan were so close. After Baba and Amir fled Afghanistan, Hassan stayed at his their house to basically protect it and always thought they would come back. During this time Hassan got married and had a kid named Sohrab. The Taliban (Afghan terrorist group) invaded Hassan's home and him and his wife dead but took the son. Ironically, Assef the boy who raped Hassan earlier in the book is the leader of the Taliban and uses Sohrab the son as a sex slave. Rahim tells Amir he has to save and find Sohrab who is his nephew. Amir tells Assef that he wants to fight for the little boy and Assef mocks Amir and says "Are you gonna run away again" referring to the time Amir ran away when he saw Hassan being raped. Amir explains that he won't run away for Hassan's sake. Amir wants his nephew and wants to take him home back to the States. He ran away once he is not going to do it again. As they were fighting, Sohrab got a slingshot with a gold ball and shot it at Assef's eye to make him blind. Amir and Sohrab escaped and got away, and stayed at a hospital. This time period is around 2001 when 9/11 happened so Amir didn't think it was possible to bring Sohrab back to America. After the many doubts and concerns they finally get Sohrab back to California so he can become a legal citizen. Sohrab was very quiet and shy around Amir and his wife but then one day he finally spoke to Amir and told him that Hassan his father always talked about Amir and how he was a great friend. Amir starts to feel guilty so then later confesses to his wife Hassan's rape and how he watched but didn't say anything. Amir now feels that he is free. Amir and the boy fly kites the same way Amir and Hassan did during the tournaments.
