Chapter 2 — Easy Goodbye, New Meeting Again?

I was silent for a moment, got ready and went down. The black car parked under the sycamore tree, Tran Van Tu leaned on the hood, patiently waiting for me. Seeing me, he smiled gently: "Nim Niem." I stood there, my tone calm: "Tran Van Tu, I plan to cancel today..." Before I could finish my sentence, the passenger door opened. Luong Kieu stuck her body out. Today she is wearing a beige white dress and her hair is curled very delicately. My steps suddenly stopped. Tran Van Tu looked at her, smiled and said: "Kieu Kieu said she wanted to go with you."

"You see, today she even knows how to dress, she looks like a human being."

3 I stood frozen in place, feeling ridiculous. The two families discussed the engagement. My best friend dressed up splendidly and sat right in the co-pilot's seat of my fiance. Luong Kieu glared at Tran Van Tu, "Dogs call cats hairy! I'm also a great beauty!" Then turned around and pretended to be angry with me: "Nien Niem, look at this stinky man of yours, bullying me again!"

“Hurry up and get in the car, let's go to the restaurant together!”

But she had absolutely no intention of removing her seat belt to get out of the car to make room. I took a step back. Tran Van Tu looked at me: "Nem Niem?" I said: "I'll drive myself." Last year I took my driver's license exam and my dad bought me a small car. Luong Kieu was surprised: "Nien Niem, you know how to drive? Aren't you a street killer?" Tran Van Tu also frowned: "That's right, how long has it been since you drove? There's a lot of traffic on the road today, so take my car." I calmly replied: "Tran Van Tu, I'm not in your car." His expression darkened.

“Khuong Niem, do you have to show your evidence today?”

I didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away. When I took the driver's license test, I passed it in one sitting every time. But Tran Van Tu told me that as a girl, going out on the street is very dangerous. Every time I drive, he sits in the passenger seat, helps me see the road, reminds me to change lanes, and urges me to step on the brake. Every time I'm very nervous, just driving for ten minutes I'm already sweating. Tran Van Tu often said: "My mentality is like this, it's really not suitable for driving." Over time, I found myself not suitable. But now, I don't think so anymore. I slowly drove onto the road. In the rearview mirror, Tran Van Tu's car followed behind. The phone rings continuously. When I stopped at a red light, I glanced at it. These are all voice messages sent by Tran Van Tu. I opened it and listened to each news one by one. 【Nien Niem, don't be angry anymore.】 【I was wrong, I really know my mistake, can you forgive me?】 【Today there are adults on both sides, I'll give you a little respect, let's go home and talk about something.】 【I don't feel secure when you drive like this.】 But mixed in those recordings, was Luong Kieu's voice:

“Do you have to apologize if you don't do anything wrong?”

“What a great lady.”

“Hey, did she ever burst into tears halfway through the drive?”

My parents also heard it, their faces were extremely ugly. I stopped listening, turned off the screen, and focused on driving. When I arrived at the restaurant and parked the car, my back was still covered in a thin layer of sweat. I sat in the car and calmed down a bit, feeling that the rock that had been weighing me down for so long had lightened somewhat. Turns out I can do it. It's just that I trusted Tran Van Tu too much before. 4 In the restaurant room, Tran Van Tu's parents arrived. See me When they entered, they immediately stood up smiling.

“Nien Niem is here, sit down quickly!”

"In-laws too, feel free to sit together."

As soon as I sat down, the bedroom door opened again. Luong Kieu and Tran Van Tu walked in one after another. Tran's mother was a little surprised. "This is?" Luong Kieu smiled brightly: "Hello, uncle, I am Luong Kieu, Niem Niem's college classmate."
