Chinh Nguyên

"Nothing more I was revering a beautiful blue angel, who made
the red flowers of student trees embarrassed, then they were fading
and dropped around her."
Nguyen and Mong-Thuy-Hoa laughed at the same time after his
replying. They walked in parallel again toward the Ban-Me-Thuot
Catholic Cathedral after passing a cross-post circle streets among
Thong-Nhat boulevard, AmatrangLong, Phan-Chu-Trinh, and Hung-
Vuong. Where had a post with three lamps on its top and directed to
each direction between the green grass and a big cement circle
around its foot.
Mong-Thuy-Hoa would like to stand on the front of the artificial
cave; it was built at the right side of the Church to see Christ laying
on the manager and prayed.
"Nguyen, what did you pray for... today?"
"I prayed Christ for you... and...."

"And what...? "
"And your lover... What did you wish for?"
Mong-Thuy-Hoa always didn't reply. She ran toward Phan-Chu-
Trinh street at the left side of the Church, turned her head looked at
Nguyen and smile.
"Nguyen. Bye… Bye..."
Nguyen often raises his hand, waved and walked back the
Thong-Nhat boulevard to go back home with his happy, capering,
and smile with himself while the love song was raise in his soul...
"It was a long time...! She was married...! She may have kids..."
Nguyen was smile with those thinking that cross his mind.
Nguyen stood among the public park, looked toward the military
Catholic church, and turned around to find an old chair that he had
sat to wait for Mong-Thuy-Hoa at the old time. He saw a young
couple sitting on the chair with their hurry kissing. Nguyen shook his
head and thinking of old lover situations while he was walking back
home.
