Thorn In The Heart

Nguyen looked at his grandpa's eyes, and asked him again:

"Grandpa. What means of Viet-Minh?"

Grandpa shook his head.

"Viet-Minh means Vietnam united for Independence.
Freedom and happiness.

The Ho Chi Minh's word is so beautiful than his evil action.

You listen but do not believe what Viet Minh said. ”
“Grandpa, I did not understand what you said.”

“Yes. You could not understand these words but you will. I
could not explain to you now, because they will hear it and we
will get many problems."

"Grandpa, are they the good or bad people?"

Nguyen's grandpa took a quick look at the living room. He
had a sigh and said.

"Bad... badly...! They betrayed our country after they had
learned the communism from China and Soviet. They killed
most of the National leader groups...! Do not listen to them."

"Yes, sir." Nguyen pulled his grandpa's hand and asked:
“Where are my parent, sister, and uncles?"

His grandpa's forefinger crossed his lips, while his eyes
opened wide to check around again.

"Sh...Sh...Sh... Your youngest uncle had left here this
morning, He went with your parent and just in time of Viet-
Minh soldiers came here." In a low whisper, he said.

Nguyen's right foot trampled down the ground in his
unpleasantness of a moment.
