– That’s right, you should shut your mouth! Your words are very annoying. It’s true that the dog’s snout doesn’t have good words.

Hearing Cuong say that, a man’s pride arose. Khac frowned and shouted:

– That dog! What are you saying? Tell me if you’re good at it!

Strong face, cocky voice full of challenges;

– I said: Dog muzzles don’t have good words.

Khac rushed in, grabbed Cuong’s neck, aimed at his face and hit him. When his fist was about to touch Cuong’s face, there was a sharp knock on the door. Khac stopped and went to open the door.

The door opened, and in front of him was a seemingly old man with dark skin and a rather long and curly beard. Khac asked:

– Hello! Apa yang anda perlukan? (Hello! What do you need?)

– Kalian sangat bising, kami tidak dapat tidur. Sila perlahankan suara anda supaya kami boleh tidur! (You guys are so noisy, we can’t sleep. Please keep your voice down, so we can sleep!)

Khac smiled and bowed his head to apologize to the person who had just arrived.

– Saya minta maaf. Kami ingin belajar daripada pengalaman kami, ia tidak akan sama lain kali. (I’m sorry! We’ll learn from this and won’t do it again next time.)

Closing the door, Khac glared at Cuong, holding his fist out to his face, signaling you to take care of yourself. Having finished his threat, he jumped onto the bed and lay down, turning over with his back to Cuong.

From then on, they had a cold war with each other, no one said a word to each other. Work is exchanged via text message or email. They are like invisible people right in front of each other. Is it worth it if our friendship is broken just because of a girl?

After 1 year, 8 months and 15 days, he set foot on his beloved land, where his family, friends and loved ones were waiting for him to return. This business trip was supposed to last eight months but in the end it lasted too long, causing many of his plans to be shelved. So as soon as he returned home, he had to rush into work. During these two months, many times I was at the company at 5 a.m. and didn’t return home until 12 p.m. Alone in the dark, working hard to complete reports and hand over work to superiors, as well as unfinished tasks when I went abroad.

Because work is busy, so during this time. Cuong also could not contact Huong. He was very anxious to meet her and her daughter, he really wanted to know how mother and daughter were doing.

Cuong tried to finish it quickly so he could go see Huong. Finally, after many hard days, his work was completed, the only thing he wanted now was to meet her.

Quickly catch a taxi, tell the driver the address where she lives, then sit in the car. The car moved, taking him to the place where there was a person he always missed. Because he wanted to surprise her, he didn’t notify her when he left.

The car stopped at a small shop, Cuong took out money to pay the driver, not forgetting to say thank you. Just as he was about to get out of the car, his hand suddenly stopped. Before his eyes was a familiar figure, she was in the arms of another man. His heart sank, his hand dropped. At this moment, his heart felt like someone was squeezing it tightly, and breathing became difficult. The corners of his eyes were red, tears threatened to flow.

– Hey you! Don’t you get off the bus?

The driver’s voice pulled Cuong out of his thoughts. He awkwardly said:

– No need to go down anymore. It’s late now, see if there’s a hotel with a reasonable price and let me go there!

– Okay, let me see.

After walking a while, the driver stopped and said:

– Arrival before. Yours is a hundred.

He gave the money to the driver and walked inside like a lost soul. While walking, suddenly there was an urgent call from behind:

– Hey, what are you doing? You forgot this item!

He turned back, smiled slightly and said:

– Thank you.

Seeing that his attitude was a bit unusual, the driver quickly asked:

– I see you’re not feeling very well, are you okay? May I help you?

Cuong waved his hand and said:

– I’m fine, just go.

The driver sat in the car, but still looked back at him with concerned eyes.

The sound of the door closing made the man’s remaining toughness seem to be drained away. The body fell to the ground, curled up on its knees, and sobbed. It is said that men’s tears are not allowed to flow no matter what happens. But his tears fell, falling for a girl, a person who for a long time he considered his second life. Promised and waited for each other to return. Yet suddenly she was in the arms of another man. Is this what love is like for you? Why can she love two men at the same time?

His tears fell more and more, his body trembled with his sobs. So it’s over, it’s really over, the end of an incomplete love affair. A love affair in which he is the loser.

I don’t know how long Cuong cried. He cried for so long that he fell asleep without realizing it. After a long sleep, Cuong Tinh woke up with a tired and exhausted body, as if something had rolled over his body last night. His eyes were swollen and heavy like stones. It was difficult to open them. Cuong told himself that he would try to forget her, forget an unworthy person. Take a deep breath, adjust your clothes, regain your composure, open the door and step out

But ironically, as soon as he opened the door, he encountered Huong and the other man right in the hallway.
