For a week, the narrator didn't have any talk with Hassan and nerly didn't see him. However, There were something good. It was that his father's attitude really changed a lot. But all that things made him guiltier. The narrator hope Hassan put the blame on him, even beat him, which would release the pain between them, but Hassan did't. The narrator also thought about change the servant, but was scolded by his father. In addition, the wonderful change ran away with it. On Amir's birthday, though father held a big party, there still were nothing happy for him except for Rahim Khan‘s present. He was thinking about tell the truth to someone. It would ease the situation. But the narrator didn't have the bravery. He was afraid that if he told the truth, he would lose everything, such as his father's love.
In this chapter, Amir thought about Hasson's dream that was mentioned in the last chapter.
I thought about Hassan's dream, the one about us swimming in the lake. There is no monster,he said,just water. Except he'd been wrong about that.
There was a monster in the lake.
It had grabbed Hassan by the ankles, dragged him to the murky bottom.
I was that monster.
That was the night I became an insomniac.
Amir felt much guilty for what he had done.
