After musical activities to interact with fans and perform abroad, Thi San finally returned to her home country to participate in a music program to raise funds for orphans.
Matthew said that the fastest way to win people's hearts and create a lasting image of an artist is to have a good personality and a benevolent heart.
Although this activity is part of Thi San's plan to build a reputation to earn money, she herself still feels very meaningful because she can contribute a little talent and effort to the charity fund.
- Hello, who are you? –Ngoc Vy's voice sounded as if she was being cautious.
- I'm Thi San.
- Thi… Thi San. Oh my gosh, do you still know you have this friend? You are an evil person.
Although Thi San couldn't see Ngoc Vy, she knew her friend was crying.
She was also touched and burst into tears because it had been a long time since she heard her best friend's voice.
Although Ngoc Vy and Thanh Phong bought tickets to see the music show that will take place next week, she did not expect Thi San to return home so soon.
- I'm sorry. How are you? - Thi San wiped her tears, smiled, and asked.
- I'm married and about to have a baby.
- Are you married to Thanh Phong?
- Do you think that I married Thang Vu?
When Thi San heard Thang Vu's name, her heart suddenly pounded.
She did not dare to ask Ngoc Vy about him for fear that once she knew he was married, she would cry again.
From today until the day the music show takes place, she must keep a good mood and a shimmering appearance.
- Where are you now? I miss you so much. Can we meet each other? – Ngoc Vy said in a very urgent voice as if she was afraid that her friend would cut off contact.
- Wait until I'm done with the show, then I'll see you. I just got off the plane so I'm a little tired and I have to rehearse.
- Okay, when you're done, call me. If you keep quiet and leave, I won't look at your face anymore.
Thi San laughed when she heard her friend's threat and quickly promised.
She has returned here, which means she accepts to face the painful reality. So she didn't need to hide anymore.
However, she still needed a little more time, at least until the show is over.
At that time, no matter how much she regrets or mourns Thang Vu, she can cry freely.
Even if she cried until her eyes were swollen, it didn't matter because her next schedule was still empty.
After having lunch, Thi San walked down to the cafe in the hotel and ordered a glass of orange juice to sip.
The doors were all made of glass, so she could easily see the traffic on the road.
Nearly three years is not too long a time for the city to change significantly, but the lives of the people she knows have changed a lot.
- Older sister.
A rather familiar voice spoke, causing Thi San to startle, and quickly looked up.
She was surprised to see Nha Tien and a child standing next to her.
Just now, she had called Thien Tang to inform him that she was back, but she did not expect him to let his wife know so quickly.
She also just learned that he married Nha Tien and had a child an hour ago.
- Thien Tang told you? – Thi San smiled slightly and asked.
- I overheard him talking on the phone with you and then I forced him to reveal the location.
After saying that, Nha Tien immediately pulled the boy forward.
Thi San realizes that this boy is exactly the same as Thien Tang's small copy.
- Bin, say hello to your aunt.
The boy obediently put his arms around, bowing to his aunt whom he had never seen.
Thi San looked at the boy and then looked at Nha Tien.
Could it be that this younger sister knew her background?
Could it be that Kien Duc Trieu was not afraid of his family breaking up but told the truth?
- Dad told me everything. My mom knows it too. She sympathized with him very much and often asked him to take her to your hometown to burn incense and clear grass for your mother's grave.
Nha Tien stretched out her hand to pull the chair and sat down and put her child on the chair next to her.
Nha Tien expressed her deep regret and guilt about her actions and words in the past.
She did not know that she had hurt her sister with the same blood as her when all the tragedies in Thi San's life were caused by her father.
- It's all in the past. Don't talk about it anymore. I don't hate anyone anymore. I just want to live my life. - Thi San calmly said.
- Sister, do you still love Mr. Thang Vu?
The sudden question made the orange juice glass in Thi San's hand almost fall to the floor.
Although the wound in her heart has never faded, every time someone mentions him, her heart seems to be deepened, extremely painful.
Of course, she loved Thang Vu. Maybe ten years from now she won't forget him.
However, this would mean nothing if he had broken up with her.
- It doesn't matter if I love him or not love him anymore. Everything ended more than two years ago. – Thi San clutched the glass in her hand to keep herself from trembling.
- He loves you so much, no matter what he does to hurt you, it's because he loves you too much. He is sick and all alone.
Nha Tien burst into tears when she said these words, making her son cry too.
Thi San did not pay much attention to Nha Tien's first sentence but only focused on the last sentence.
The memories of his sudden headaches and dizziness suddenly appeared, making her gut feel like it was on fire.
- You said he was sick? What disease is it?
- He has multiple sclerosis. Because he doesn't want to involve you, he pushes you out of his life. My husband knows everything and came to pick you up on the night you left the villa at the request of Mr. Thang Vu. Mr. Thang Vu also arranged for Matthew to meet you and help you. – Nha Tien hurriedly spoke so that Thi San could understand as quickly as possible.
Thi San's hand trembled as she put the orange juice back on the table.
Everything around her seemed to be spinning because she did not expect him to have that disease even if she had a dream.
Even if she dreamed, she did not expect him to be fully worried about her future, accepting to embrace suffering and disappearing from her life.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, but the sobs stuck in her chest couldn't come out.
His head ached, his hands ached, and his body gradually weakened, but he still had to work day and night just because he wanted to give her a full and prosperous life, and let her touch her dream.
And then when he could not overcome the cruel fate, he had to hold back the pain and let her go.
- Where are you going? – Nha Tien quickly grabbed Thi San's hand when she saw her standing up.
- I will go see Thang Vu.
- He is not in the city. He has gone to the countryside to live. Because he refused the daughter of the city secretary to keep his love for you, he withdrew from the market and ceded the company to our father.
Nha Tien hurriedly took out a paper and pen and wrote down the address for Thi San.
Because she wrote too quickly, her words became scribbled, wrong again and again. It took her a minute to finish writing.
- If you ask the villagers, everyone knows him. His house has a lot of sunflowers.
Thi San took the piece of paper from Nha Tien's hand. Her tears welled up.
She said goodbye to her half-sister, then ran quickly to the elevator, went straight to her room, gathered some clothes and belongings, and then took a taxi.
The sad city gradually receded, the taxi moved to the highway and accelerated on the road.
Thi San anxiously looked out at the vast landscape. She put her hand on her chest to calm her heart.
Why is her pianist so stupid?
He didn't keep her by his side, didn't let her be his wife, but he kept his loyalty to her for what?
When the taxi arrived at the village gate, it was already afternoon.
The purple light of the sunset gradually spread over the peaceful and quiet countryside like his unwavering love for her.
After asking for a while and getting directions from the villagers, Thi San also came to the house that Thang Vu had dreamed of building with her in the future.
Her footsteps slowly passed through the rows of dark green sunflowers in the afternoon breeze, entered the courtyard, and stopped in front of the pretty house.
- Where did he go?
She looked around and then sat down on the steps to wait.
The sunflower garden was quite large, so the distance from his house to the neighboring houses was quite far, so she decided to wait and not ask anymore.
Maybe he'd gone somewhere nearby because she saw the car was still parked on the porch on the side of the house.
At the same time, on a familiar trail, Thang Vu was slowly cycling back from the orphanage as usual.
The bicycle brought him back to the house where he was alone.
- Did you come back from teaching, Mr. Thang Vu? – The voice of a woman in a roadside cafe sounded.
- Yes. Are you getting ready to go home too? – He asked because he saw her busy clearing the table and chairs.
- Yeah, nobody drinks coffee late afternoon. Ah, just now a girl came to the village to find you. She's so beautiful, so strange. – She ran up to him and told him.
- Looking for me? Did that person say who they are? - He asked worriedly.
- I didn't ask her name, but I showed her the way to your house.
Thang Vu's heart suddenly beat wildly. He quickly said goodbye to the woman and sped away.
Could it be her? Could it be the girl he longed for day and night?
He wondered along the way and as soon as the bike hit the yard, the answer appeared.
Like an unreal dream, his little mistress was sitting on the steps, looking at him with wide eyes.
Thang Vu had to blink several times before he dared to believe this was true.
His sunshine had returned on a summer afternoon without sunshine.
She was still the same as before, beautiful and shining.
Her figure is still thin and importantly, those glittering eyes still seem to contain his image and the words of love that she dedicated to him.
