Chinh Nguyên

            would  be  like  a  swindler,  taking  advantage  of  his  money,  life,  and
            love. My

                soul  is  falling  into  decay;  I  shall  become  like  a  chunk  of  dead
            wood!

                Living with you in this house, I feel safe and warm.  "  Phuong
            said.

                Nguyen sat back on the sofa, leaned his back into it, and looked
            at her with his surprise.

                "  I do not know what are you thinking; your words and actions
            are

                different more than they were before.  Suppose you tell me the
            truth."

                Nguyen said.

                Her watery eyes were dark and wide as she stared at him with
            her sorrow.

                " The truth? "Phuong repeated.

                " Yes... the truth..."

                Her  fingers  rolled  the  string  of  pearls  around  her  neck.  The
            diamonds  in  her  ring,  and  on  her  ears  flashed  at  him;  voice  had
            turned to a whisper


                " I have tried to tell you the truth, but you did not understand,
            or you had feigned to run away from my feelings...! I would like to
            know the truth too, which were hiding in your soul. Nguyen, Please
            tell me... what did you think about me? "

                Her hands were against her face and sobbing after she said.

                A little puckered his eyebrows, he was bitting and disturbed his
            lower lip, while he tried to speak.
