He likes hassan and often plays with him but he is jealous about the relationship between hassan and his father, Baba. Amir and Hassan fly kites together and Hassan is always a good kite runner. Once Hassan ran to get the kite as trophy to Amir, he was caught by some bullies and sexually assaulted. He undergoes this pain just sake of giving that kite to Amir. Amir saw that agonizing thing from distant and ran away without even helping him. This terrible incident separated them.

In their childhood, Amir used to read stories with hassan. Even though Hassan couldn't read and write, he is matured and ingenious enough to tackle his life issues. He always wanted to hear to a story of Rostam and Sohrab. (In remembrance of his childhood he named his son sohrab).
