Thorn In The Heart

Nguyen stood on his weakness feet with the emotion of
ashamed. His face bathed in tears and looked down on the
ground. Nguyen was slowly raised his face to look at Mrs. Hang
in afraid eyes.

"Yes... It was the truth." Nguyen replied in a low voice and
sobbing.

"Why... ?"

"Khai urged me to do it!"

"Why did you listen to him?"

"He was my good friend."

Khai threw an angry look at Nguyen.

"No, I was not your friend....!"

Nguyen buried his face on his hands, rent in his heart and
felt as Khai gave a punch on his face. Nguyen cried and said:

"Yes, You were not my friend anymore! I am sorry... !"

Mss. Hang got out of a chair, looked at Nguyen and walked
slowly toward him. She kept a space between Nguyen, turned
around to watch all of the kids and stared at Nguyen in a
moment. Nguyen felt her sight eyes were like a thousand pounds
of ices that covered his body and soul.

"Nguyen. From now on you do not listen to anyone else. Do
by yourself and responsibility for your right or wrong." In a low
voice but sharp, she said.

Nguyen bends his head to run away her eyes.

"Yes."
