Chinh Nguyên

Nguyen got a letter from Phuong. He took a quick reading on the
sender's name, placed it back on the living room table. He got up
from

the sofa, walking to the door and sighed.

" Nguyen, What is wrong? "

" Nothing "

" You were hiding me something, weren't you? "

Nguyen had glanced at Phuong.

" No. "

Phuong started at Nguyen and smile.

" Yes...! Nguyen... Don't hide, please! " In a soft voice, she said.

" I didn't hide you anything! Why did you keep asking me? "

" I looked at your face and heard your sigh. "

Nguyen raised his hands into the air.

" Why anything about me you want to know? It doesn't help
you! "

An emotion of her condition was passing her head; she looked
down to the floor, caught a glimpse at Nguyen. Her voice had turned
to a whisper.

" I had the care of you... I don't want anything, which can
happen to you...

but you were indifferent to it. It was your problem not me... ! "

Nguyen looked at Phuong and shook his head.

" I am sorry... I don't want to hurt you. You were easy to cry... "
