Phuong looked at him and laugh.

" listening to your bad dream, it made me afraid. " Phuong said.

Nguyen combed his hairs by his fingers and looked at her.

" Yes, sometimes, I wake up after a bad dream, getting wet on
over my

body, living alone. Opening my eyes wide to look into the thick
of

Darkness, I felt that I am so small in this life, and life was
extraordinary for me, yesterday was my sorrow, today was my
fighting to survive on this world, tomorrow I don't know what
happens for me, it comes out from the dark and unknowledge! Oh ...
Why did you come here now? Do you know that it is 11:30 PM ? " in
a soft voice, Nguyen said.

Her head bends down against her hands.
" Nguyen, so many things made me mad, felling suffering and
sorrow. I felt alone and thought of you; then I came here. I was

knows about the woman...! " He said in sharply voice.

Phuong looked down at floor, while her tears ran out.

" Morning, you never paid attention to me...! I was laughing to
be in a good mood of outside, but I cried in silence. What can I do?
Every night I laugh to welcome the people coming in the bar, to get
good tips for my living, I lie to them to myself too! Nguyen ...that my
job...! " She said.
