《追风筝的人之宽恕》羽尧

5、V

　　Amir is braver than all of us, including his father who could fight with a wild bear. I know this since I saw him standing on my front door. When I heard that he would go back to Kabul and try his best to find Sohrab, I finally relieved. I’ve fulfilled my duty and it is time for this old man to do something he wanted.

　　“Please stop the car here.”
　　“Rahim Agha, it’s not safe here. We’d better go as soon as possible. Amir would be happy to see that you are back.” Farid was surprised when I asked him to take me back to Kabul, and he did have his merits. Things are getting worse every day. No insane people will come here. But what’s the difference between a dying old man and a crazy person
　　“It’s ok. I just want to see my old house and it won’t take too much time.”
　　It is not a “house” but a piece of ruined land. The house has been burned and the “garden” infested with weeds. But the old apple tree is still there. It’s lucky that I didn’t get a chance to plant our fruit trees and flowers. I don’t think I could stand to see all of them ruined into the ashes.
　　It was raining yesterday and the sun just begins to penetrate through the cloud after. I could feel the light touching my skin, so soft and so warm. Not far from the apple tree came a girl: light brown hair, big hazel eyes and smiles on her face. What a stupid thing that I can even hear her smile from such a long distance. Her voice was so familiar and I know I’ve been looked for it for years.
　　“Homaira!”
