Written Task Corrected Kite Runner

September 4th, 1975

Dear Baba,

I'm writing to you because Ali asked me to. I'm a friend of his, so I'm writing the letter because, as you know, he's illiterate. He wanted to write to you so much, he reallly wanted to explain why, after 40 years, suddenly decided to leave the house along with Hassan. So I will concede his wish.

It has been 40 years, in which we treated each other as brothers. I'll never forget that moment, as a child, when your father finally adopted me, those years where I grew up with you. Making silly things, the mischief you and I used to cause. I know you got confused when I told you that both of us were leaving the house, because Hassan told me everything.

I'm sure you remember exactly the kite tournament, Amir cutting the last kite, Hassan said it as a bright blue one, a cool one. So when the kite started falling down, you were so happy and distracted that you didn't realize Hassan wennt straight away to the place were the kite was supposed to land.

So he went alone, he ran through the paths and ended in a cold alley near the bazaar, and he actually found the kite - you know Hassan never fails at it -. But his happiness of finding the kite lasted only  a few seconds.
Assef knew about the kite tournament, so he waited, together with Wally and Kamal, to be ended so he could talk to him about their unfinished business. But, while they where waiting near the bazaar, they saw a boy running through the alleys, It was Hassan. And in that moment Assef remembered how rude he was when they met together with Amir, so Assef and the other two guys started chasing him.
So when Hassan finally found the blue kite (the one that I mentioned before), he turned back and found Assef and the other two. Assef asked nicely if Hassan could let them the kite he was holding in his hands. But, the worst thing is the person who was also there, hiding behind a corner: Amir.

So Assef told Hassan to give him the kite so he "would forgive him for his rudeness". And of course, he said no. So Assef proceeded to insult my "stupid hazara boy". So Assef decided to let him keep the kite, but you know nothing is free in this world. Assef final words were "I'll let you keep the kite. I'll let you keep the kite so it will always remind you of what I'm about to do": he raped Hassan.

He raped him with no compassion. You know Amir was there, right? Well, he could just step into the alley and stand up for all the time Hassan did it for him in the past, and I'm sure you think the same thing, or he could have run. While Hassan was with his face towards the cold wall, he remember seeing a boy coming out of the alley and running alone.

It maybe be surprising for you,but the reason Amir hid his watch and the bills under Hassan's pillow was because he felt so guilty that he only wanted no longer to see Hassan again. That's why I decided to leave the house, so I ask you a favor. Don't ever think I forgot those 40 years, because I haven't done it.

I hope you both take care,

Best wishes,

Ali.
