Chinh Nguyên

a high-rank member of Vietnamese's Viet-Minh party, since they
let him out

of their prison, but they may follow and kill my father anywhere
on the way he was going back home from the prison, or they will
knock our door at one midnight then pull him out of the house and
kill him without justice, and nobody knows. "

Phuong shook her head.

" No, If they kill your father, they will get trouble with your
uncle, and I think that they don't do it to your father. " Phuong
said.

Nguyen stares at Phuong and shrug his shoulders.

" You were so easy to believe of Viet-Cong. You must understand
that

Viet-Cong never and never perform the way they were talked,
they lie so

deep to the people and for them was: No family, no country and
no

religion so my uncle may shut his eyes on my father's situation. "

Phuong looked at Nguyen with her eyes opening wide by
surprise.

" Your uncle can do it with your father, don't him? " Phuong
asked.

Nguyen looked up at the ceiling, sighed in his pain.

" He may be ... maybe not...! but my father disbelieve in Viet-
Cong

any more even my uncle, since he never sleeps at home at the
night time.
