The summer sky brings bright sunlight shining across the city, on the busy street of people on buses, high school boys and girls are walking together to school, looking at the white ao dais. flying in the fleeting summer winds, my heart is sad, remembering myself in the old days. Only then, but again in the summer, about to end a school year, bringing with him so many school memories. My freshman year of college is almost over.
At the end of the exam, I relaxedly stretched and turned to Duong: "You go back first, I have to go to the room of the social work team to take attendance."
"Um".
The summer wind has a hot flavor, I walk step by step, slowly, like my own mood. I'm happy that I found a ray of hope to save him and let him come back to me, but my heart is very upset at the thought of Luc Duong leaving this life. Being a human should not be too greedy, that will only make everything lose, between the two of you I can only choose 1.
"Brother Huy, I will go to charity tonight"
"Then I'll arrange to go with you."
"No need, I'll go with my friends." Huy looked at me thinking and then smiled and accepted.
Huy is always like that, no matter what I do, he is always interested and supportive, he never asks any questions about my privacy or my friends, and he always makes me feel very comfortable when facing and talking. with the elder. That makes me appreciate this upperclassman even more.
Decided to go around the supermarket, buy the junk that I felt was still missing from his kitchen so that I could use it more comfortably, and buy some more fruit, snacks, and cooking food for him. Tonight, carrying a bunch of junk in my arm, I reached out and caught a 4-seat taxi, reading the address of his apartment.
"Hey niece, are you here again?"
"Hi, hello, I just came to visit the patient"
"Oh well, what are you carrying so much, are you seriously ill?" said the security guard while taking some things for me to go to the elevator.
"Yes, it's quite heavy." I smiled and stepped into the elevator, "thank you for helping me"
"Yeah, nothing, please take good care of him"
After talking, the security guard waved to me, thinking 'Is the service industry so cute now even the security guard'
“Coc coc …” knocked on the door twice but still no one opened the door, one past three, about to raise his hand to knock for the third time, the door was opened. A familiar tall figure appeared wetly.
"You, are you taking a shower?"
"Just finished" Duong wears a thin blue shirt with the top 2 buttons open to reveal a toned chest with attractive muscles, white shorts, a white scarf still lying around his neck, and wet hair that makes him feel like The face is more mysterious. I gulped and stood looking at him, my face heating up. After seeing my embarrassed expression, he was satisfied without saying a word into the living room, leaving me to carry all the things into the house alone. I don't care what he does, I just put things in the fridge, clean up the kitchen, and then make dinner. Working alone, he did not speak.
'disgusting, why do you put a big pan on the top like this I looked around but couldn't see any chairs, so I had to tiptoe, trying to reach as high as I could to pull it down, my toes hurt, but I kept reaching close. touching it, my toe hurt again and then suddenly retracted and couldn't stand up, so I struggled until the sweat was still not able to get it, a hand reached up to my hand, reached lightly to get the pan down I lost my position and fell into his lap, my hand touched where my heart was beating, every drop of water in my hair dripped down to wet my thin shirt, my hand touched my skin, the firmness of the skin made my hand I suddenly felt hot, embarrassed to look up and touch that face. Face to face, it was the first time I met my son at such a close distance, feeling his breath, those black eyes suddenly had a sweetness.
"Why have you looked at me enough?"
I pushed him away, calmed myself, then justified: "doesn't matter" and raised my hand to rub my cheeks.
"I'm hungry, cook quickly," he said and then he put the pan on the stove, and just walked out, I regained my spirit.
It was still a meal in silence, after the meal was still he cleaned and washed the dishes.
"Hey, you volunteer with me tonight, it's not safe for me to be a girl alone"
"Then don't go, I don't like crowded places"
"It's not crowded, we just distribute rice and water to the uncles and children, making sure it doesn't take much effort, it's not dirty and it's not noisy." I held up 3 fingers, winking cutely at him.
“Um” I was happy when I heard his agreement and hurriedly urged
"Go, you go change quickly, and then we can go to school to get lunch." I want to do good deeds with Luc Duong so that he can better understand what the joy of helping someone is like and at the same time increase love and integration with everyone.
The place where I was assigned was a small street next to Bui Vien. Unlike the luxury, glamor, and bustle of Bui Vien, this street is quiet and simple with poor people, 3-generation families of "grandparents raising children", and blind and visually impaired people. hearing, children selling lottery tickets lying on the pieces of newspapers, in the middle of the cold road. I feel sorry for them, sorry for them, and consider myself very lucky. Holding rice bags, I went to each person, giving them paper boxes full of love, it was just a meal, but they were happy to hold my hand and say thank you. That is the joy I get from my actions. Turning to look at Duong, I suddenly smiled, this is the first time he coordinated with me so smoothly. Carrying rice bags, Duong stooped to give rice to everyone, and carefully opened the box to help the children, conveniently collecting trash around. A gentleman who likes to clean, how can he do these things so well, looking at Duong doesn't really look like someone who has just done charity work for the first time, but someone who is already very mature. Go all the way and then to the next streets, struggling until 1 am. My limbs were exhausted, and my body was also more tired, I suddenly remembered what the doctor said, 'Luc Yang is still sick, this will affect his health'. Immediately urged Duong back.
"Let's go home, the rice is already gone, and I'm sleepy and tired"
"Um, I'll take you home"
The car runs smoothly in the middle of the night in Saigon. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired or I haven't slept late, I don't know when I fall asleep, in the short time I come home, I feel a gentle hand caressing my face, I smile. I did a great thing today.
When I got home, I curled up in a warm, soft blanket and quickly fell asleep. That night I dreamed again, a shadow was stooping to give everyone a box of lunches. In the dream, there is a beautiful girl standing behind smiling happily.
Since then, Luc Duong has always appeared with me in 9 pm campaigns. Every time I went to a familiar place, I saw him go there, his hand in his pocket, where a diamond sparkled in the corner of his eye, leaning against the car, seeing me coming, he blatantly went to rob the cars. lunch box in my hand, going to distribute to the elderly and children. Every day he moves faster, talks more, has more fun and especially he knows how to share with everyone more. Looking at him with a lovely appearance while playing with the children at the night, suddenly I suddenly wanted him to always appear in front of my eyes, and always exist.
My little heart and will are constantly at war, I am afraid that one day I will make excuses to let go of that heart, I will lose the love you gave me, I am afraid I will What was wrong with Anh, suddenly approaching Duong became much more difficult than planned.
