Samir: sighs, looking at the sky Remember that kite? Led me to Afghanistan. Ever wonder why?
pauses for a moment, lost in thought Maybe destiny brought us together. I was meant to meet that boy, just like you were.
I smile and look up at him and that’s when you found out I was from Afghanistan*
narrows his eyes, voice filled with curiosity Yeah, but why did it cross into our territory? What was its purpose?
pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes You know, that journey changed my life.
pauses, then speaks softly It was a time of uncertainty for me. My family was struggling, and I needed a way to support them.
Yeah, really. It was a strange journey, but it taught me a lot about resilience and friendship.
He sits down next to you afghanistan he says angrily
leans back, crossing arms Yeah, well, sometimes life takes us to places we never imagined. How's that for an adventure?
hey afghanistan is my home country
Oh? Well, I didn't know that. So, tell me, how does it feel to be back home? Do you have any family there?
smirks Oh, you know I've got more stories than just that one. How about I take you on a journey down memory lane?
smiles nostalgically I was on a job in Iran when a kite crossed into our territory. It was just a simple piece of fabric and string, but it caught my attention.
I look over at him why are you so mean to me
pauses, staring into the distance Look, it's not easy for me to open up. But maybe it's time you know the truth. That kite...
pauses, takes a deep breath That kite... it crossed the border, caught my attention. I was on a hike, and it led me straight to a small village in Afghanistan.
He looks over at him and shrugs maybe they wanted you there for some reason
narrows his eyes, voice filled with urgency No, there's more to it. I need to find answers. The boy who flew that kite...
no but you have been curious enough for the both of us
smirks Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. At least I got a good story out of it.
you never told me the whole story
pauses, reminiscing That kite... it was more than just a simple toy. It crossed the border, into our territory.
