Hearing Khac’s accusations, Cuong jumped up and argued:

– No… No. You just talk nonsense.

With an “I understand” face, his eyes revealed a sinister look,

– Very doubtful.

Like a person caught doing something bad, Cuong jumped up,

– Leave it alone, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

Knowing that the guy was embarrassed, Khac didn’t tease him anymore, the two continued to bury their heads in work until after work.

That evening, at Khac’s house,

Taking a deep breath, regaining composure, Cuong walked to the door and reached out to ring the doorbell. It didn’t take long for him to hear the lock clicking. The person who opened the door was Hanh. Seeing him, she smiled brightly and said:

– Mr. Cuong! Come in! Everyone is waiting for you. Come in quickly!

He smiled, blushed and said:

– I’m sorry, something unexpected happened so I’m late.

Hanh pulled Cuong’s hand and smiled:

– It’s okay, I just finished cooking the food. Hurry in!

Entering the living room, Cuong was a bit surprised, there were many people here, there were men, there were women, both young and old. Knowing that he was surprised and embarrassed, Hanh spoke up reassuringly:

– This is because of my adoptive mother and Mr. Khac. I told him to make a simple family meal and invite only close friends, but he kept talking everywhere, making me so embarrassed. Don’t be shy, it’s all family, there are no strangers.

Cuong smiled and said:

– I don’t mind, just a little surprised.

– I’m sorry next time I will inform you in advance so you can prepare mentally. Come in quickly!

– Yes, let’s go in.

As soon as Cuong entered the living room, he heard Khac shouting:

– Boy! Why is it only now?

Cuong smiled and said:

– I had something unexpected so I was late.

Khac waved his hand to signal Cuong.

– Sit down!

Looking around, seeing two empty chairs, he pulled one out and sat down. The car next to it was also occupied by Hanh.

During the meal, there were only wishes for Hanh to have a safe journey and a good job… For the first time in a while, Cuong saw Hanh drinking alcohol. Maybe because she was so happy, she drank a lot. She even leaned on his shoulder to continue drinking. Seeing that, he grabbed the cup and didn’t let her drink the meal. She got angry and said:

– Give me back my cup! Let me still drink.

Cuong stubbornly said:

– No, I’m drunk. Don’t drink anymore.

Hanh got angry and reached out to grab the cup:

– Who said I was drunk? Would you like to return my cup?

Cuong moved the cup away and said decisively:

– Not return.

In a drunken state, Huong threatened:

– If you don’t pay me, I’ll kiss you.

Then she rushed towards Cuong and placed a kiss on his lips. Her unexpected kiss stunned Cuong and everyone. Seeing Cuong stunned, Hanh quickly grabbed the cup and burst out laughing, her voice slurring:

– What’s wrong? I’ve never been kissed by a girl before, so I’m surprised? It’s okay, I will be responsible for you. I will marry you.

Seeing his sister starting to talk nonsense, Khac said to stop him:

– Hanh! You’re drunk, go back to your room and rest!

Hanh argued:

– Someone said I was drunk. If you’re drunk, yes. – After talking to her brother, she turned back and said to Cuong: – Don’t worry, when I get home from work, I will tell my mother to hold a ceremony to welcome you to be my wife.

Seeing his sister rambling, Khac stood up and pulled Hanh out of the dining table and said:

– You’re drunk, please follow me back to your room to rest.

Seeing her brother pulling her, she struggled to get her hand out of his brother’s grasp and said:

– Let me go! I’m not drunk yet.

Despite his sister’s struggles, Khac apologized and dragged her into the room.

The next day, before Cuong could say goodbye, Hanh left Vietnam. I thought that what I said yesterday was just the words of a drunk person, and Cuong also thought that it was just her joke. So he quickly forgot about this.

But there is one person who never forgot those words, that person is Hanh. She has had a crush on Cuong for a long time. She herself didn’t know when she liked him, she liked him. Perhaps like from his brother’s words. It could also be that from the day he fell into a coma and was admitted to the hospital, she had to take care of him for her brother. No matter what, in her heart she already had the image of that stupid boy. Maybe it’s because of that shyness and timidity that makes him different, and attracts her. Tell yourself that when her work time is over, she will return to conquer his heart. She will try to conquer that gentle and shy man. She will make his heart beat faster for her again.

…

A stylishly dressed girl stepped out of the plane. His face was radiant, clearly showing happiness. So she returned to her homeland, returned to her relatives.

After checking in, she walked outside, where her loved ones were waiting to welcome her. Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and tried to walk quickly towards the door. Before her eyes was a crowd waiting for people. Looking around, she didn’t see anyone coming to greet her. The corners of her eyes were a little wet, probably feeling sorry for herself. Looking at the scene of her family hugging each other happily, her eyes clearly showed jealousy. While feeling sad, suddenly someone called her name.

– Hey Hanh! Hanh! Here!

Hanh happily turned around, but the person waving was a strange middle-aged man. Seeing that she didn’t come, the man signaled her to come closer. Just as he was about to walk towards it, someone ran up from behind and hugged the man. Her eyes became despondent, thinking that person was coming to pick her up, but unexpectedly she was wrong. Bowed his head, pulled his luggage and walked out of the airport. I was about to take a taxi home when I heard a call from behind.
