Chapter 6 — Give up the wedding car, cancel the marriage

Nine thirty the next morning. I wore a sharp black suit. My father changed into his most formal coat. The father and son stood downstairs in the apartment. A large moving truck parked in front. The car door opened, two muscular workers jumped out.
“Miss To, right?”
"It's me."
“Let's depart.”
The truck roared, driving straight to the place I thought was "home". A place filled with cheesy pink nightmares. I sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window. The weather is very nice today. Very suitable to end everything. **06** Exactly ten o'clock. The truck parked downstairs in the Bac Uyen street house. My father and I led two house movers up. Swipe your fingerprint to open a familiar door. The living room is as messy as a battlefield. On the ground is a broken glass cup. Sofa cushions were thrown around on the ground. Chu T. Tu Ngang sat on the sofa, his beard was stubbled, his eyes were full of blood. The tea table in front was filled with empty wine bottles. Lam So So was also there. She sat next to him, her eyes puffy, comforting him in a low voice. Seeing us walk in, leading two strong men behind, Chu T. Tu Ngang jumped up: "To Tinh! Do you really dare to come!" Lam So So also stood up, hiding behind him, shyly looking at me: "Sister To Tinh..." I completely considered them as air. Nodding to dad. Then turned to tell the two workers:
"Sorry you two. In the master bedroom, all the clothes, bags, and shoes are in the closet. All the cosmetics are on the dressing table. In the office, all the books are on the wall next to the window. And all the potted orchids I planted on the balcony. Move them all. Be careful, don't damage them."
The two workers nodded, intending to roll up their sleeves.
“Who dares to touch!” Chu T. Tu Ngang roared and rushed to block the main bedroom door. "To Tinh, tell me clearly! What does this mean?"
“What do I mean?” I finally looked straight at him. "Chu Tu Ngang, we're done. Now, I'm here to take back my personal belongings. These things have nothing to do with you and this house."
"It's over? Do you agree?" He got excited and rushed forward to grab my wrist. "Just because of a car! Are you planning to ruin our 12-year relationship?"
The force of his hand was very strong, squeezing my wrist causing pain. My father walked quickly: "Let go of my son!" He grabbed Chu T. Tu Ngang's hand and shook it hard. Chu T. Tu Ngang staggered back two steps.
“You brat, be careful what you say!” My father pointed straight and said angrily: "Today I only came to pick up things, if you dare to touch my daughter once, I will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Uncle, please stop being angry..." Lam So So started the drama again. "It's all my fault, I made To Tinh unhappy..." She cried and tried to pull my father's sleeve. My father didn't even look at her.
The air was as tense as a piano string. Chu T. Tu Ngang looked at us, like a fierce animal cornered.
“Good, good, good!” He said three good words straight away. "To Tinh, you're so cruel! Don't take anything away today! If you're good, sue me!" He started acting like a rogue.
I looked at him and suddenly thought it was funny. I said nothing. Just slowly take out the phone. Open a video, then turn the screen towards him. In the video, it is this living room. The time was last week. Chu T. Tu Ngang and Lam So So sat on the sofa together. Lam So So leaned on Chu T. Tu Ngang's shoulder, cried and told stories about being bullied by colleagues. Chu T. Tu Ngang hugged her and patted her back:
"So So, don't cry anymore. Once I and To Tinh are married, I'll take you back here to live. She, she only has a Buddha's mind, I'll coax you a few words and it'll be over. By then, in this house, no one will dare to bully you."
The sound in the video is extremely clear. Chu T. Tu Ngang's face immediately turned pale. He locked his eyes on my phone, his lips trembling: "I... I..."
