I wonder if this makes Amir think that he did the wrong thing by leaving and that he would have the chance of getting hurt and not letting go of his guilt but also loosing the respect of some of its inhabitants. He responded with "I think a part of me always will." and trying to prove this person he just met wrong about him, because he is still a native to Afghanistan, even on his way to Pakistan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832816046859664037.post-11314485560801678622015-10-13T09:24:16.207-07:002015-10-13T09:24:16.207-07:00I agree, Amir is definitely the one to get very je...I agree, Amir is definitely the one to get very jealous.
