Fourth summary NO! Spandi!

Still in Haji Khan's house, a car came in. It was Haji Khan's older brother, Haji Jawid. He was the reason Haji Khan looked annoyed. He had made another problem and Haji Khan paid lots of money for it. As Haji Khan arrived  home, he calls his brother to his room. In the evening, they had a great meal and went to sleep. They were now going back.
 They arrived to Kabul and Georgie asks Fawad not to tell the detail stories why they went to Jalalabad. Having nothing to do, Fawad went to Pir. And he tells Fawad that he has a great idea. The great idea was the board written ' Free deliever. Sell Cake.' And Fawad carrying on his shoulder to advertise. He feels so ashamed and exhausted delivering in the cold winter, but Pir gave him Chocolate bar for the works. His mom knew the fact that Fawad was working some hard works so she gets angry for making Fawad's toes swollen and blue. She tells Pir not to assign Fawad hard works.
 One day Fawad see Spandi far away from the shop.He was standing near the wreckage
the Corolla. He was caught in a gigantic nightmare. Around him the air was dark with smoke, and he watched pieces of metal and black-red body parts float to the ground like feathers as our eyes met and our lives came to a stop. Spandi was Fawad's best friend and he was like brother to him. He was alive and Fawad felt his love for him race through his veins, thumping some messages in his heart. Together with Jamilla, they ran toward him . The bullets flew through them but they kept running. Almost reaching him, he heard a shout of Afhan and foreign. Their voice were angry and fierce. But then his head suddenly snapped back. He saw a hole in his ches, spitting blood onto his shir. NO screamed Jamilla and Please, no! He's only a boy! screamed Fawad.

Journey!!

Fawad thinks he is not special. He is not amazingly beatiful , but he is not Jahid-ugly either. He is not the smartest guy in the classroom, but neither is he dumb like a donkey. He is not the fastest runner, He doesn't tell the best jokes. He had seen things that maybe a boy his age shouldn't have seen, even that doesn't make him special.   His Father was killed, his brothers are dead, and his sister is missing.But in Afghanistan, that's
"So what?" However when he woke up in the morning, he opened his eyes to see May and Georgie sharing the bed next to him while James was wrapped in a blanket snoring on the floor by his side, and at last he felt some way special.
 Jalalabad is the capital of Nangarhar Province in the east of Afghanistan. It was the city to escape the extreme cold of winter. And Georgie and Fawad decides to escape from cold too. For Fawad the journey was pretty interesting. It was his first trip out of Kabul. When they arrived in Jalalabad it was late afternoon. They drove straight into city and halfway down they stopped at Hafi Khan's place, a large white mansion set in a garden. Georgie was greeted by the men sitting on the sofa near TV and see was invited to sit. Fawad sat with a distance because he wanted to let men know he is not a baby. Then they have a dinner and go to rooms and take some rest. In the evening, Haji Khan returned home and his voice was loud. Fawad looked down stairs through leak and saw Haji Khan's fierce face. And Fawad thinks that it is because Georgie and he came to visit his house without letting him know. But next day his son tells him he wasn't angry of it. He thinks that this place is also Georgie's house. After the breakfast, they ride on Haji Khan's car and goes to find a man named Baba Gul Rahman in Pakistan. Fawad asked Georgie if Haji Khan was happy to see her. And she says probably. So Fawad realized that Georgie had something in her heart so he told her to say the things so she could feel better. She explains that first when they met they fell in love and Haji Khan used to whisper her 'I love you.' 'You are my world.' But because Georgie's business gets to an end in Afghanistan and went back to London. Haji Khan's calls decreased and Georgie felt that his love is changing. Even when she found a new business in Afghanistan and moved , she didn't even inform him. And Haji Khan later founds out and call to his house and ask angrily why she didn't tell him. And after that they start loving again, but something seemed different then the previous time. And she felt upset for that.

Georgie introduces them and now tells where they are going to stay. They go to the second floor and Fawad finds out that there is a TV. He was so happy and satisfied with everything. One night, Fawad wants to see May's room in some purpose. But he got caught by James. He brings Fawad to the table and give him some alcohol. Fawad becomes a bit drunk and starts all his stories and he feels very comfortable to talk. Apparently Georgie saw it and Fawad's mother gets to know it. After that his mother scold Fawad for drinking alcohols which is against Allah. And she doesn't trust James.

They move to the building and there they share the things happened . When he went back to his house, he sees May and James making something. James then ask Fawad to help. The Christmas had come. The next morning Georgie comes into Fawad and his mothers room and greet ' Happy Christmas' and they both hug each other. Then she invites them to come out.

New house!!

 This is my book summary page 1-50.


  In this story, the main character tells the story. And the main character is a boy named Fawad. He was born under the shadow of the Taliban. He lives with only his mother. His mother said that long time ago, she once had a house and a garden. And a kitchen very clean that they could sit on the floor and eat. But after the Taliban came, they lost all their things and families. Then Fawad's aunt let them stay in their house. There he meets his cousin Jahid, best friend Spandi and a girl Jamilla. Actually Spandi's name was Abdullah but while others went to school, he went out and sold spand to fat Westerners and that's why they call him Spandi. After school, they go out to the Chicken Street and ask for money or steal money from foreigners. They think that stealing money is the moral distribution of wealth. Fawad's mom always tells him ," You keep away from Jahid...filling your head with such nonsense. He's a dirty little thief." But Fawad thinks it is impossible since he is living under the same roof as Jahid.
  One day, they moved out of Fawad's aunt's house. It took them whole hours to walk from Khair Khana on the edge of the city to Wazir Akbar Khan, the location of their new house. And Fawad's mother tells him that they are going to live with two women and one man. And the woman named Georgie had invited them to live with them. And apparently, his mother had been washing Georgie's clothes for weeks.
