" Yes... When I met my friend, who came back from the front
line, or battlefield. We had run into each of other with our arms
raised in the air, hold each of other together really tightly. We were
face to face and laughed loudly on the street then we got home at
midnight from the bar. "

" Friends was your happiness? "
Nguyen looked up the ceiling, sighed.

" Yes... but they had taken a turn to die in the war and let me
behind, someday I will be alone. "
" Your family, and lover? "

Nguyen started at Phuong.

" What do you mean? "

" I meant a happy family with love. "

Nguyen gave a quick looked at Phuong, his voice turned to
sorrow and sharp.

" Of course... I would like to have a happy family, but I could not
think of it...! "

"Why? "

" Phuong, you knew what I had meant about it already. "

" No, I didn't... "

Nguyen had sighed.

" Okay...! I was like most of the young man, who was born and
lived in this country. I don't want to leave my wife behind with her
painful, and sorrow life after I had died in the war. Who will take care
of my kid? " Nguyen looked at Phuong and added: " Only their mom
take care of them with her weak hands. So I tried to forget it. "
