Chinh Nguyên

"No... I didn't think of anything, only me..." Hanh-Phuong
looked at Hung; she added:

"I was ready... When you want to go to Van's party, please tell
me."

Hung kissed his wife, got off the sofa, walking towards the door.

"Right now."

Hanh-Phuong sat on the behind seat of Hung's Vespa
motorcycle. She tells Hung the most of the funny things of her
friends in the class, about the special characters of her professionals
in the laws school, while Hung was driving his Vespa towards Mr.
Van's house and tell her about his real friends, his officers, and his
family lives...

Hung had loudly laughed, and Hanh-Phuong had happy to think
of Nguyen. She carried the hope to meet him in Van's house; at this
time she thought she would try to make Nguyen talking about his
own story. After both of them walked into Van's house at the living
room, all the young men were a wonder to look at Hanh-Phuong at
the same time, while she turned around her eyes to looking for
Nguyen and Hung led her around to introduce her with his friends.

Her happy feeling had dropped; it became the sorrow and angry
in her soul. Every people in Van's house were strangers for her; she
became quiet and lost her smile. Few ladies knew her, but Hanh-
Phuong has forgotten them. A young lady walked toward Hanh-
Phuong from the kitchen. After shook Hanh-Phuong's hand, she sat
on the sofa nearby Hanh-Phuong. She had a little smile with friendly.

"Oh... Hanh-Phuong of three years ago was different now!" She
pointed on her chest and added: "I am My-Loan, do you remember
me?" she asked.
"Sorry... My memory was bad. it seemed we met and talked of
each other you one time..." Hanh-Phuong replied.
