After the discussion of sin, Baba becomes his giant, and Amir has difficulty throwing the stone at him for fear of being disappointed. He remains silent in the hope that Baba will not find out about the sin he has committed, because it was silence that won Baba's approval in the first place. “A smile appeared on my father’s lips. He opened his arms. I put the kite down. . . buried my face in the warmth of his chest and… . . I forgot what I had done. And it was good” (79). It was the first moment in his life where Amir felt his father's acceptance, so he wanted to cherish and extend that as long as he could. The giant finally moved to the same side as him, but Amir still had the feeling that something was wrong. He wondered why he didn't feel well at that moment. Since Amir is too cowardly, he ignores this feeling. For the rest of Baba's life, Amir hides the truth about that day from Baba, not because he has forgotten it, but because he finally has his father all to himself. Baba becomes proud of Amir's accomplishments in America, and Amir decides to cherish this. Before dying, Baba said, “‘There is no pain tonight’” (173). If Amir had told him the truth about the incident, Baba might not have been able to die peacefully. Although Amir denied Baba the right to the truth, he spared him some.
