When the boys meet Gasemu and Ismael learns that his family is in the village, how does Ishmael feel?

Ishamel is excited, relieved, and impatient to reunite with his family. He is breathless with anticipation

I was breathing fast and couldn’t bring out a word. I wanted to drop the hand and run as fast as I could to the village. My eyelids were twitching, and I felt as if the breeze was passing through my brain. It made me feel light-headed. Excitement and sadness made me feel as if my heart would explode if I waited any longer, but on such a narrow path I couldn’t walk past all those in front of me.
