From that day on, Cuong’s friends always tried to create opportunities for Cuong and Huong to meet each other. When the two of them became close, he also let them take the initiative to date each other.

Gradually, Huong also began to develop feelings for Cuong. The two of them embraced each other morning and night like a couple. The feelings are becoming more and more intimate. No matter how much he loves, Cuong still does not dare to go beyond the limit of holding hands.

That also made Huong unhappy. With a girl who had already had a husband, Huong wanted to go further than holding hands. She deliberately suggested it many times, but that idiot still insisted on being a gentleman until the day the two of them returned home together. .

No matter how sweet love is, it’s time to leave. In love, dissolution is a normal thing. Whether they come together or not is determined by the word “fate”.

…

Pushing the paper towards Cuong, the woman said:

– Let’s see!

He glanced at the paper then looked up and asked the person who had just arrived:

– What is it, sister?

– Job transfer.

He reached for the paper and picked it up to look at it. After reading it for a while, a surprise appeared on his face.

– Why me again! Last time I went away for three years, but after less than a year of returning home, you forced me to keep going. You should have let someone else go, that would be fair.

– Everyone has family problems and can’t go for a long time. I don’t have a wife or children, but I have a lot of experience. So the board of directors decided to let me continue. Don’t worry, this time it won’t be long, only about eight months.

Cuong exclaimed:

– It’s only eight months.

The woman laughed,

– Well, I’ll try a little harder! Well, I don’t have to go alone. This time, Khac came along. Go home and make arrangements quickly. You’ll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. This time it’s very urgent. There’s something that needs to be done.

After a bit of hesitation, Cuong nodded slightly.

– Yes, I know. Let me arrange it.

After the woman left, Cuong’s face began to show a thoughtful look, so he had to leave again, had to leave Vietnam once again, and had to leave the love that had just blossomed.

…

At a small roadside shop,

Cuong sat thoughtfully with his hand on his chin, his eyes staring at the cup of coffee on the table, not knowing what he was thinking. Then a sweet voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

– Did you wait long for me?

Cuong looked up at the person who had just arrived, smiled gently and replied:

– Not long ago, I just arrived.

She gently sat down opposite him. The waiter saw the customer coming and came closer, gave her the menu and asked:

– What do you want to drink?

Holding the menu in her hand, Huong pointed to a position on it and said to the waiter:

– Give me this, please.

– Yes, please wait a moment.

After the waiter left, Cuong reached out his hand, intending to hold Huong’s hand, but when he reached halfway, he pulled his hand back, his face turned red with embarrassment, he softly spoke:

– This scent! I have something to tell you.

Raising her big round eyes to look at him, she asked:

– Yes, say it! Listen here.

Cuong hesitantly said:

– I… I… I…

Huong looked at him with some doubt, and the couple had a sad look. In her heart she thought; “Maybe you want to say goodbye to me. But that’s right, he’s a virgin, and I’m a virgin. How can I be worthy of him? Her voice was a bit hoarse as if she was about to cry and asked him:

– What’s the problem? Do you have something difficult to say?

He scratched his head, his face turned red and said:

– I’m about to go on a business trip for a few days, please wait for me to return!

Huong breathed a sigh of relief, but in her heart was a little surprised about his trip. She asked:

– Where are you going to work?

– I’m going to Singapore to work for about eight months, will you wait for me?

Huong nodded slightly,

– Yes, I will wait for you.

Receiving Huong’s answer, he was so happy that he took her hand, squeezed it gently, and said happily:

– Thank you! Thank you!

Huong was surprised by his actions, looked down at the hand holding hers, her face turned pink. Seeing that Huong was a bit strange, he followed her eyes and realized he was squeezing her hand. He was startled and withdrew his hand, his ears turned red, and awkwardly said:

– I… I’m sorry!

She smiled slightly and replied:

– It’s okay, I understand.

************************************************

That night’s flight took Cuong away from Vietnam, away from the girl he loved, the one he wanted to marry for a hundred years.

In a foreign country, without family members and close friends, it makes missing her even more intense. But the two of them could only look at each other through the phone screen. Seeing Huong and her daughter playing around made Cuong satisfied. I don’t know when he considered her his child. Going to the supermarket, seeing something pretty, he bought it home, then showed off to his roommate that he bought it for his daughter. Looking at his attitude like a real father, his friend could only shake his head and not know how to advise him.

Luckily for Cuong, Huong’s child doesn’t hate him. Every time Cuong calls, it’s like he competes for his mother’s phone, to tell him stories about the sky and the sea, from preschool to preschool stories. wasting food with her friend, being beaten by her friend,… The little girl cried loudly as she talked, making him panic and worry. Perhaps he was nearby and ran to hug the baby and comfort her. Every time he saw the baby crying, Cuong got all flustered, not knowing what to do, so he called out for Huong’s help. At that moment, Huong burst out laughing and hugged her child to comfort her. Looking at the mother and daughter, Cuong just wanted to run right away to enjoy the warm feeling of family.
