Ban-Me-Thuot. Because he would like to meet your young
sister..."
Nguyen looked at the waitress, she was putting their foods
on the table, and then looked at Quang.
"Quang, maybe you were hungry. We were eating and
talking. I felt a little full now. Did you know about their love."
Nguyen asked.
Quang nodded his head.
"Yes. I knew very well, Dinh, he told me over and over
about how he was fall in love with your young sister... He would
like to marry your young sister, and they had a plant for it."
"Yes. Nguyen-Thi-Tuyet-Lan was her name. She told me
about that and still waiting for him." In a sad voice, Nguyen
said.
"Because I did not tell her about Dinh's dead story.
Sometimes, I flew back to Ban-Me-Thuot and saw her walking
on the sidewalk in the downtown." Said, Quang.
Nguyen looked at Quang.
"Why? Did he got a SAM shooting up?" Nguyen asked.
"No...! Dinh told me don't tell her if he killed. He and I took
the same mission to Ban-Me-Thuot. I flew behind him, and we
communicated back and forth by radio. We laugh and joke about
life, girlfriend. While we were flying in the air, and about 2
miles from the Phuoc-An district. Suddenly, Dinh cries loudly in
my headphone by a code name:
"Hoang-Yen 2... Hoang-Yen 2!You hurry to look for me a
safe place! I will make a crash."
