            I be...?  When I was pretty........ Heard, what she said to me...
            Whatever will be will be... The future not out to see...

                He  sang  again,  and  again  this  song  from  his  soul  in  a
            moment of his happiness in the rain.

                Suddenly, Nguyen saw Quang's old sister in the Truc-Lam
            grocery  shop,  on  Ly-Thuong-Kiet  street.  Nguyen  stopped  by,
            walking into the Truc-Lam story.

                "Hi...Sister Dung..."


                Dung threw a painful look at Nguyen in a moment; then she
            looked down

                to hid her moisten eyes.

                "Nguyen,  how  are  you?"    In  the  sobbing  emotion,  Dung
            asked.


                Nguyen  wondered  about  her  action,  but  he  does  not
            understand why she

                carried the sorrow in her eyes, and fading in her face.

                "Sister Dung. You stay here, please... I walk back my truck.
            I will drive to here and take you back home or somewhere you
            want to go."   Nguyen said.

                Dung looked at Nguyen.


                "No...! Thanks..."   Dung refused.

                Nguyen looked at her with his wonder.

                "Sister  Dung.  You  were  like  my  old  sister.  What  was
            happening to you?"


                Dung made her way through Nguyen right side, she said.
