Thorn In The Heart

"Why...?" In the sorrow and worry, Nguyen asked.

My-Thanh looked at her young brother; she shook her head.

"You might ask mom. I think she knows everything about
our father situations."

"I will..." Nguyen looked at his sister and added: "Where
was a mom?"

"She said she go to the market to buy some things and mail
to Cho-Noi for him."

"She never forgets him in a day."

"I knew... She always connected his letter in her private box
and kept it such as her precious object."

"Do the green box that she locked it and put on her head
bed?"

"Yes... Some time she opened it, counted his letter and read
them over then she cried...."

"Why she was doing it?"

"I do not know!"

"I knew...."

My-Thanh looked at Nguyen.

"What do you know about?" In the hard voice, My-Thanh
asked.

"She remembered him."

"How do you know."
