The Kite Runner, Chapter 15

Amir arrived in Peshawar, Pakistan. When he saw the town, one of the things he thought about, was that the city reminded him of Kabul. In the taxi, on his way to Rahim Khan, the taxi-driver tells him a lot about the town, and that many Afghans ended up in Peshawar after they fled from Afghanistan. When Amir arrived at Rahim Khans place, he realized that his friend was very ill, and that he was going to die within the nearer future. He wants to take Rahim Khan to America, so that he can see a good doctor and become fine again, but Rahim Khan believes in God’s will, and accepts his "faith".   

The main part of the chapter is dominated by a conversation between Amir and Rahim Khan. They talked about Afghanistan, Amir’s current life in America, his wife and work. After a while the conversation turned over to a more serious dialog. Rahim Khan began to talk about Hassan, and that he lived with Hassan in Baba’s house after the two of them had left Kabul. They talked a lot about what had happened in the past, and Amir learned that Rahim Khan knew everything about what happened that winter of 1975. Rahim Khan had one dying wish at the end of the chapter, and told Amir that he can do something “to be good again”. The chapter ends with Rahim Khan saying that he wants to tell Amir about Hassan, before he tells him what to do.
