Soraya's parents, General Taheri and Khala Jamila, gave Amir and Soraya their couch.
After Baba's death in Chapter 13, both Soraya and Amir move into their own one-bedroom apartment in Fremont. The apartment was only a few blocks away from General Taheri and Khala Jamila's home.
Soraya's parents buy a brown, leather couch and some Mikasa dishes as housewarming gifts for the young couple. Additionally, General Taheri gives Amir a new IBM typewriter. Later in the book, we learn the couch is moved to Amir and Soraya's new, two-bedroom Victorian house in Bernal Heights. In Chapter 14, Soraya and the couple's cocker spaniel, Aflatoon, rests on the couch while Soraya corrects essays and watches a PBS documentary about wolves.
When Sohrab moves in with Amir and Soraya, he sometimes sleeps on the couch.
