were books, friends and game to enjoy with...

Phuong looked at him. She smiled and said :

" You lost her, and you never knew you lost. Always you were a
foolish love...! Because, she was your friend a long time, and went
beside you anywhere. It meant that she was waiting for you to tell
her about your love, your feeling about her, but you didn't... So you
lost her, you are sorry, are not you...? It was over ten years, too late
now...! "

Nguyen nodded his head and feeling upon his past.

" Yes, it was too late... After she married about a month,
sometimes I walked back to the old places and felt lonely. I didn't
know where the feeling was coming from in my heart with sorrow,
but I still playing with my dreams as a student with bright of my
future, that made me forget her... Then two years after her
marriage, I saw her again in the market in an accident, again my
heart began beating with excitedly. I walked towards her but seemed
she was indifferent and turned away from me. I followed her of a
short distance, but I did not understand why I did it until now... "

Phuong stared drawing the small heart couple shape, which
rolled together on the living table by the water of coffee in her cup.
She raised her face to him while her forefinger was putting into her
cup.

" The thunderstruck of late love...! " With a little smile, she said.

" When I learned the meaning of love, she went far away from
me. Everything was changed! My future has been broken up by the
war... ! "

Phuong took her forefinger out of the cup, then continued to
draw over and over the heart couple shape that she has done on the
living table.
