REDEMPTION

I've done it.
After intensive reading times following long pauses, after ignoring a thousand of 'strange words' without struggling, after tearing over the damn sadness a hundred times.
I've been asking myself this question since I left two or three tear beads on the table in library: Am I too sensitive to read a novel like The Kite Runner? Then another question emerged: Am I seeking evidence for the praise all over the book's cover calling it 'extraordinary' 'marvellous' 'stunning' 'passionate' 'devastating' and 'emotionally powerful'?
It seems I was about to seek in the first place. Soon after I myself got lost.
I barely learned something, except how broken my English is, still. Instead I knew things. Things I'd already known for a long time but never felt. Things this 'dramatic' narrative talks about: betrayal and forgiveness, sin and REDEMPTION.
A few days after, the book will be back to where it belongs to, sitting on shelf of one of the uni's libraries. Feeling sorry to a bunch of words I skipped during reading, I'll not give them a second chance. YES I AM TOO SENSITIVE. I guess. I may give the movie, nevertheless, a chance, sometime.
Saying goodbye to Amir, Hassan and Sohrab, I let my memory stay at the final image: "I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips." He was running the kite falling out of, and into my life.
