Thorn In The Heart

             Anh-Tuyet leaned her shoulder to against the wall and had a
         great

             disappointed looked at Nguyen and cried.

             "Tuan died...! Yes...! The true death! He left me. He does
         love


             me, but he did not want to marry me. Because he thought I
         would not fight with the painful suffering day by day after he
         was dead in the war. But I was plunged in grief more than he
         thought.    My  heart  broke...!  I  want  to  die  to  follow  him...!"
         Anh-Tuyet replies


             Nguyen looked at her and shook his head.

             "Do not blame him; I maybe do the same thing he had done
         for  you  with  my  lover.  Because  we  were  the  soldiers,  Living
         today and die tomorrow in the dirty war. We could not care for
         ourselves how we can think of our lover! We had dropped any
         our  dreams...!    You  understood  that  do  you?"    in  the  emotion
         Nguyen said.


             "Was his body in there?  Nguyen asked.

             "No...!"

             "Where were his parent?"


             "His parent were in the waiting house."  and she looked at
         the H-34 helicopter that was flying just over the cross on the top
         of the bell tower of the church and flying down onto the parking
         area. Anh-Tuyet pointed at a helicopter; it was flying in the air
         and  holding  over  the  ground  at  the  cross  sign,  closing  the
         waiting house.

             "Maybe Tuan was over there."  She replies with her sobbing
         and tearful.
