Samir: sighs, looking at the sky Remember that kite? Led me to Afghanistan. Ever wonder why?
mean
hey mean play with me
pauses for a moment, lost in thought Maybe destiny brought us together. I was meant to meet that boy, just like you were.
mean
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?
mean
yeahlaughs
pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes You know, that journey changed my life.
mean
sure does samir
pauses, then speaks softly It was a time of uncertainty for me. My family was struggling, and I needed a way to support them.
mean
really?
Yeah, really. It was a strange journey, but it taught me a lot about resilience and friendship.
mean
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?
mean
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?
mean
really?
smirks Oh, you know I've got more stories than just that one. How about I take you on a journey down memory lane?
mean
Yes
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.
mean
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...
mean
sips tea what happened?
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.
mean
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...
mean
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.
mean
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.
