Thorns in the Heart I

             " that the first time I let a man holding me tight and kissing me,
         there was you ! so I never forget it ..."

             " Phuong, I am sorry...! "

             " Love doesn't mean a sorry; I don't care what you were said, my
         life  was  nothing  to  worry  now  ...  "      After  Phuong  nibbled  at  her
         fingernails, sighed and in a moment of silent, her voice had turned to
         a whisper, she said.


             Nguyen shook his head.

             " Phuong, the body does not mean anything. It just like flowers

             " Of course, I lived for myself now! " Phuong replied.

         because  the  money,  but  because  they  are  young,  beautiful  and
         married with a rich  old man or high official without their love, so
         they had superfluous of


             food to eat, had time to hunt their alter love, since their party
         continues from day to an other, seemed it was without ending with
         their  passion.  Their  husbands  lived  in  the  society  of  hungry,  and
         poor, became
