Amir decided he will not be going that he is not risking his new good life to save someone he doesn't know but as Amir thinks about it, he soon decides he will go so he tells rahim khan he is willing to risk it as he states“ Then I told him I was going to Kabul” this shows that Amir cares about Hassan and really
