Hanh-Phuong had jump and looked at Bich-Lieu.

"What...?"

Bich-Lieu stared at Hanh-Phuong.

"I said: What did you think about?"

Hanh-Phuong had glance to Bich-Lieu and looked down on a
table.

"Nothing..." Hanh-Phuong replied.

Hung looked Bich-Lieu and Hanh-Phuong.

"Okay, we will go to Mr. and Mrs. Van house at 9:00 PM. Hanh-
Phuong you must ready at 8:30 PM. If you don't want to go there, tell
me please."

Hanh-Phuong went back to her room after dinner. She sat on the
chair at the makeup table, catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror
and smile. She was glad that she would meet Nguyen at Van's house
again, she thought a lot of him, tried to figure the way she will talk
with him at the time they see one of either. She thought the words
that she can talk smooth and make him pay attention to her, how to
make him laugh. She will dance with him the whole night and will ask
him about his marriage.

She thought of Hi Nguyen, how are you? No. I can not ask him
that. It was normal, not special words. She looked at a mirror. Oh, I
will smile, then she performed her smile of a few time. Yes... Just a
little smile to him and I will walk toward him; then suddenly I will
node my head to welcome him. I will walk away from him to check
his attention to me and see that he still remember me or not. He will
have a little smile like before he was, his deep brown eyes will rise
and bright to look at me but not the sorrow sight eyes. Nguyen, I
don't want to see your eyes with a little watery, and I don't want to
find out that what was thing crossing your mind.
