First words

It also forshadowed the fact that Amir would one day betray Hassan. -
Kite running
The picture above shows Amir and Hassan working together to fly a kite in the kite running race. This was the first time that Amir had ever won the kite running race with first place, making his Baba proud, which he always wanted to do. This was also the night that Amir betrayed Hassan leaving him to get hurt by Asseff in the alley way.

Hassan's departure
After the incident in the alley way, Hassan and Amir began to grow apart, and all Amir wanted to do was get rid of him. Amir believed Hassan was the "lamb" he needed to sacrifice in order to earn Baba's love. So after Amir's 13th birthday he got the watch Baba had given him and a wad of cash, planted it under Hassan's matress and framed them for it. Baba had forgiven him but Ali and Hassan already chose to leave. -
