After more than a month of treatment in the hospital, Thang Vu was able to see the sun again.
However, the sun in his heart is gone.
He turned his back to look at the upper floor, where he had been lying for more than a month before he got into a taxi and went to the company to play the role of someone who had just returned from a long-term business trip.
- You're too thin. – Chau Ly felt sad when she saw him.
- Everyone in the hospital is the same. I'll eat and get fat fast.
He smiled softly and walked into the elevator. Chau Ly also hurried to follow.
The distance from the main hall to his office was long enough for her to tell him that Thanh Phong had come to find him and how she had lied.
- I checked my email earlier and saw his message. - He calmly replied.
Before Thang Vu was discharged from the hospital, Thien Tang told him that Thanh Phong and Ngoc Vy had also boarded a plane to go abroad to perform facial reconstruction surgery for her.
He estimated that it would take two to three months for her to fully recover.
That time would be long enough for the two of them to cool off their anger.
Now that he had lost Thi San, nothing was important to him anymore.
He will not hesitate to raise his ears to listen to people questioning and cursing.
He would consider it as punishment for the cynical words he used to hurt the girl he loved.
After listening to Chau Ly reporting the company's situation for more than a month and signing important documents, Thang Vu drove back to the villa.
He still needs to rest and relax a lot if he doesn't want to die before seeing Thi San succeed.
Perhaps later, the hospital is his second home. According to Thien Tang, he had to go to the doctor and monitor his illness continuously.
Fortunately, during the time Thang Vu was in the hospital, Thien Tang hired someone to come to his house to clean and sweep the house every week.
And Thien Tang also comes here to burn incense for Thang Vu's mother every day, otherwise, he will feel cold if he sees the yard covered with fallen leaves, the table covered with dust, and the altar without smoke in the gloomy afternoon.
- Thi San.
Thang Vu unintentionally called out when the silhouette of his lover holding a broom standing next to the tree suddenly appeared in front of him.
Her face was still the same as that day, she was still smiling like every afternoon she excitedly welcomed him off work.
- How are you? Remember to wear warm clothes. There's a lot of snow falling over there.
When the tears on the corners of his eyelids fell, that smile also disappeared.
He wanted to remember her forever, but this nostalgia caused him more pain than the disease he was carrying.
He walked over to the foot of the Indian oak tree and knelt down, clutching his poor heart and crying a lot.
If he kept pretending to be strong, swallowing tears in his heart, he would die.
- Thi San, I miss you so much, I miss you so much, Thi San. - He tried to call her name to ease the painful loss.
In a foreign land, the faithful girl always remembers the pianist.
Thi San doesn't even give herself a chance to relax because at such times she will think about Thang Vu more and more.
Apart from studying and practicing under the guidance of Matthew, the rest of the time she is still engrossed in the piano and theory books.
- Stop, Thi San, hurry down to have lunch.
Matthew put his hand on the keyboard and gave an order.
The melodious sound suddenly broke, causing Thi San's hands to involuntarily shrink.
This wasn't the first time Matthew raised his voice at her.
The exercise regimen he gave was strict enough to the point of being harsh enough that the practitioners all lamented, only this little girl seemed to feel that it was still not enough.
- I don't want to eat. - She bowed her head and replied.
- Hey, no one will love you more than yourself. No matter what happened to you in the past, look forward now. Live for the future, don't live for the past.
In front of other practitioners, Matthew treated Thi San the same way he treated them.
She is wrong, he will not regret scolding her, but when it is only the two of them, he gently advises.
He knows that even though it is a wound in the heart, for an artist, that wound is many times more painful than other people.
Thi San is not an exception.
- I can't forget him. I'm dying, Matthew.
Thi San lowered her head and cried like a baby.
The strange land, the snow-covered winter made her unable to pretend to be strong anymore.
She always thought that her first love was her last and only love, how could she say forgetting is forgetting right away?
- Follow me.
Matthew grabbed Thi San's hand and pulled her out of the room.
Outside, the snow was still falling, dyeing everything white.
He pushed her into the car and quickly left his Academy.
Since the day she came to this training camp, this was the first time he took her out, and also the first time, he violated the rules set by himself.
All because she was the one that Thang Vu condescended to entrust him to take care of.
The car crossed the white roads and stopped by a river.
Matthew took Thi San's hand and pulled her out into the bleak empty space.
- Speak out what you are thinking, blame and curse anyone who has hurt you. Let go of the anger in your heart.
After saying those words, Matthew returned to the car, leaving Thi San standing alone between heaven and earth.
She stood like that for a long time, gazing into space.
- Thang Vu, you are evil. How could you treat me like this? Why don't you believe my explanation? Thang Vu… Thang Vu…
She knelt down on the white snow and sobbed.
People love each other for many years and then it's time for them to break up, but she and he have only been together for a few months, there is nothing to make him remember.
In this love affair, she is a temporary winner, a lifelong loser, hurting herself.
After crying, Thi San trudged along the river for the snow to help her wash away the sweet memories mixed with pain.
Matthew patiently drove after her.
Sometimes, Matthew wants to reveal the secret to see how Thi San treats Thang Vu, and whether she will defy everything and return to him.
But because of the promise of a man, he had to look at her miserable and resent the poor guy.
In the following days, Thi San no longer skips meals, but the intensity of her exercise has not decreased.
How much nostalgia, and resentment, she poured all into the tunes instead of the words she wanted to say.
It was because of her overflowing emotions and diligence that she made great progress compared to other practitioners.
Her English is too weak because she just finished high school, so Matthew spends money to hire a teacher to teach quickly so that she can communicate easily.
She told him, the right word, the wrong word, and he still tried to hear and understand, but to others, they didn't know what she was trying to express.
She did not know that all expenses that Matthew spent were Thang Vu's money.
She also could not know that in the middle of the snowy winter, there was a man who still walked around the streets of the city in the afternoon looking for her, hoping to see her again.
- Maybe she's not in this city. Or, she's here but we haven't had the chance to see her again.
Thanh Phong took off his long coat, sat down next to Ngoc Vy, and hugged her in his arms to comfort her.
Like his love for Thanh Tra, Ngoc Vy's love for Thi San is the same.
In order to please her, during the time he was waiting for her recovery, he drove through every big road and alley in hopelessness.
- Perhaps she lied to us. Maybe she's still in the country and hasn't boarded a plane. – Ngoc Vy pushed him away, stared at him, and said.
- I asked my friend who works at the airline to check the list of passengers that day. There is her name, Thi San La.
Ngoc Vy burst into tears, resting her head on her lover's lap.
Only a few more days until she and he will return home, which means that she has no hope of seeing her poor best friend again.
If only Ngoc Vy could witness with her own eyes the current life of Thi San to see if her friend had enough food to eat, and enough clothes to wear, and if everyone treated her well, Ngoc Vy wouldn't have worried to this extent.
Why when happiness came to her hand, Thi San's happiness disappeared.
The day Ngoc Vy and Thanh Phong landed at the airport, Nha Tien also discovered that she was nearly two months pregnant.
When Nha Tien heard that Ngoc Vy had returned, she urged Thien Tang to invite the two of them to eat together to congratulate them.
Since Nha Tien got married, her personality has completely changed.
The day before, with his own eyes, Thien Tang saw his little wife holding an old beggar's hand to lead her across the street, then she took out her purse to give the old beggar some money.
If it was the previous time, Nha Tiec would call her dirty and stay away.
- Aesthetic technology now is really sublime, you look even more beautiful than before. – Nha Tien admired, and carefully observed Ngoc Vy's face.
Next, Nha Tien turned to Thien Tang and expressed her wish to raise her nose a little higher, but the doctor immediately refused.
He also threatened that if she secretly did the surgery, he would stay in the hospital day and night, not coming home.
- I'm just kidding, why are you so serious? I know I'm pretty.
- That's good.
Ngoc Vy remembers Thi San again when she looks at the couple in front of her.
In the past, her friend and Thang Vu were also entwined like a pair of birds in the sky.
She did not expect that in a flash, people in the East, people in the West.
Thi San went missing, and Thanh Phong was also angry at Thang Vu after he received a cold answer from the pianist.
"Not getting along" is the reason Thang Vu gave and asked people not to ask about his personal love.
Also because Nha Tien knew that Thanh Phong was angry, she didn't dare to call Thang Vu to go with them.
She and her husband are in the middle, so they have to meet this person today and meet the other tomorrow.
- Isn't that Mr. Thang Vu? He really has eyes to see people. Isn't that girl the daughter of the city secretary? - Ngoc Vy clenched her fork tightly, her voice was full of anger.
- I heard that he is being supported by Tien Luc Phan. - Thanh Phong said.
Thien Tang didn't say anything, just continued to eat.
He was the only person at the table who understood Thang Vu's situation.
If Thang Vu could date Thu Nhien, he would not have let Thi San leave.
Thang Vu once told Thien Tang that he did not want that disease to be passed on to his children, causing them pain and suffering.
Later, when he leaves this world, he will take it with him, and bury it in the grave, leaving nothing behind.
