" You can leave his mail to me; I shall keep it and give back to
him

when he is back home. Sit down, please ... "

Tuyet sat down on the love-seat and nodded her head.

"Yes ... "

" Do you help him to get his mail from the mailman every day? "

Tuyet shook her head while she gives Nguyen's mail to Phuong.

" Not every day. Sometimes my mom if I was not home. Uncle
Nguyen rented this house from my parents four months ago. I always
bring his mail to him. I live in the next door. " Tuyet replied.

Phuong looked at Tuyet and thought :

"Oh, beautiful and innocent girl. She wishes to be like Tuyet ...

Everything is beautiful and dream to her, go to school each
morning

and be back home in afternoon, then parent take good care of
her, but it was hard now... time never turns back and does not wait,
anybody,, the youth only comes once to dream and life has more
sorrow than happiness."

Phuong walked into the kitchen; her voice raised to ask Tuyet :

" Tuyet, would you like a drink? What kind? Water or Coke ? "

" Thanks, I don't want a drink. I will leave soon now. My mom is
may be looking for me. " Tuyet replied.

Phuong hurried out of the kitchen. She saw Tuyet getting up and
ready to leave the living room. She walked toward Tuyet.

" Don't hurry...! If your mom calls you, we can hear her voice."
