Blog #5

Amir,Farid and Sohrab came to Islamabad.The hotel rooms were clean Amir remembers the time he had promised to buy Hassan's family a colour T.V .Amir took the pills and slept when he woke up Sohrab wasn't there .After searching for him for a long time ,he finally finds him in the Mosque.Sourabh thinks that he is sinful because he hurt Assef. Amir says that Assef deserved it.
Amir asks Sourabh if he would like to come to America.Sourabh says nothing .
They have a conversation after a week Amir tells Sohrab that he and Hassan were brothers .Sohrab says that his father told him that he had no brother .Sourabh says that going to America scares him because he has to learn English so fast and he is scared what if Amir and his wife get tired of him. Amir tells Soraya that he is bringing Sohrab home with him.
Amir encounters problems at the American embassy, finding out that adopting Sohrab will not be as easy as he initially anticipated.
Soraya mentions that Kaka Sharif, her uncle, has contacts in the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) who might be able to help.
Faisal, the immigrant lawyer goes through the various options with Amir, with the most promising but by no means guaranteed being the placing of Sohrab in an orphanage and the filing of an orphan petition.
Soraya calls Amir to tell him that now Sohrab can go to America without going to the orphanage. When Amir goes to tell Sohrab about it, he finds him bleeding and unconscious in the bath tub.

Sohrab is taken to the emergency room. Amir turns to the prayer.
Amir realizes then that he does believe in a God, and he asks God to forgive him and he promises to pray every day if only God will save Sohrab’s life.
The next day Amir returns and finds Sohrab in a new room. He is awake, but under constant suicide watch. Amir asks him how he feels, but Sohrab says nothing, and his eyes look lifeless.

They come to America. Sohrab is quiet there. Taheri asks Amir why he had got this Hazara boy. Amir explains him about Hassan and Sohrab and Sohrab is his nephew. Amir warns him for calling him the Hazara boy.

After many days, they finally do kite running. Amir buys Sohrab a kite.
Sohrab hesitantly takes the kite string. Amir tells Sohrab that his father had a great passion in kite flying.He uses Hassan's method to cut the string.Amir says 'For a thousand times over.'

Now Amir had redeemed himself. I think that now the redemption has finally come.
