I believe in loyalty.

I believe that serving someone that I love is the greatest joy that one can have in life. Serving Baba and Amir has been my pleasure since I was brought into this world, and I always have and always will do it with a smile on my face, for I know that it takes a great burden off of them. They will not have to cook or clean and have more energy to do the tasks that they were meant to do.

I don't believe that what I do is unworthy. I take no shame because I know that Amir and Baba truly care for me, and I have a good home here in Baba's house. I am protected from the outside world and harsh treatment that other Hazara servants are given. Baba cares for me as if I were his own, I have received many gifts, including the surgery on my upper lip that has altered my physical appearance for the better. If Baba did not care for me, he would have never done these things to begin with. I am safe under his care and I know that I will always care for him and for Amir.

I know that my loyalty will never waver, for the sacrifices Baba has made for me have been so great that it would be an insult to not return the favors. I was born to serve, and that is how I will die. I know my place as a Hazara in Afghanistan society and it doesn't bother me for I know that what I do is great in the eyes of the family of whom I serve. I am valuable, not worthless, and my loyalty will always stay true. With this in mind, I am not Hazara, I am great.
I do believe in loyalty.
