Chapter 1 — He Returned to Bach Nguyet Quang

Five years of marriage, Tham Trach Chi has never worn a hearing aid at home. Every time he returned, he took off his hearing aid and let himself sink into the quiet world, not talking or paying attention to me. Over time, the large house was always quiet, without a sound, and I gradually got used to that silence. Until one day, I forgot the documents at home. When I went back to get it, I saw Tham Trach Chi's hearing aid conveniently thrown away on the shoe cabinet in the mysterious gate. I was afraid that he would panic if he didn't find it later, so I took the hearing aid and went to the office - where he usually stayed. The door to the room was not closed, and a singing sound came from inside. My hand that was about to push the door suddenly stopped, right after that, I heard the voice of a close brother to Tham Trach Chi: "Your ear has been cured for three years, are you still planning to tell Thinh Lam?" "Also, this song by Van Van, you listen to it every day, don't you get bored?" In that moment, my whole body stiffened, then I heard Tham Trach Chi's soft laugh: "From the beginning I married Lam Thinh Lam just because She's quiet, understanding, and can take care of my parents for me. So it's better to not tell her about it." "As for Van Van, she's a free nightingale, she shouldn't be tied down by marriage and family." I tightened his hearing aid in my hand, quietly turned around and left, then sent the lawyer a text message: "Prepare a divorce agreement for me, the sooner the better." The better.” I went downstairs to buy a bottle of cold water and drank it all before I felt my mood calm down a bit. After that, I tightened Tham Trach Chi's hearing aid in my hand and went upstairs. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Tham Trach Chi standing in the living room, rummaging around. He didn't look at me, just groped around under the sofa cushions, his face filled with impatience and impatience. If it was before, seeing him like that, I would definitely be heartbroken. But now, after knowing that he was just pretending to be deaf, I just felt funny. With this acting ability, Tham Trach Chi should become an actor. I walked over and put the hearing aid in front of him. His movements paused for a moment, then he took it and put it on. Looking at him wearing his hearing aid, I suddenly remembered five years ago, the first time he took it off in front of me. "Trinh Lam, my work is so tiring, when I get home I just want to enjoy the quiet, can you sympathize with me?" At that time I was a bit stunned, knowing that after removing the hearing aid he wouldn't hear anything, so I just nodded silently. During the next five years, Tham Trach Chi never wore his hearing aid at home again. Without hearing aids, he couldn't hear me, so over time, I also started to become quiet. Every time I come home, the whole house is quiet as if no one lives. "When did you come back today?" After wearing the hearing aid, Tham Trach Chi asked me with a few probes. "I just came home." "In the future, don't leave your hearing aid lying around anymore. Just now, you couldn't find it, so you were very anxious, right?" Hearing my answer, Tham Trach Chi clearly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as always, he nodded slightly and adjusted his shirt: "The company is working overtime tonight, no need to wait for me to eat." Having finished speaking, he took the car key from the cabinet in the closet, changed his shoes and left the house, from beginning to end without even looking at me once more. After he left, I stood behind the living room curtains and looked downstairs. Next to the black car parked below, there was a woman in a white dress waiting. As soon as I went upstairs, I saw her. Tham Trach Chi walked

came, the woman stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck, then the two hugged each other tightly. Tham Trach Chi didn't know that while I was downstairs, I accidentally saw a post on his friends circle. They said To Van Van had returned. The nightingale that Tham Ze Chi once said should not be tied down by marriage and family has finally returned. I leaned against the window, watching their car start up, the taillights gradually disappearing. After that, I pulled back the curtain, looked at the empty living room before me, and suddenly smiled as if I had completely let go. If that's the case, I will return Tham Trach Chi to your nightingale. That night, Tham Trach Chi did not return. Early the next morning, I went to the hospital to visit my mother-in-law. Ever since we got married, Tham Trach Chi's mother's health has not been good. I come here almost every week, clean her body, feed her rice and change her urine bag. She never said a harsh word to me. Every time I came, she would hold my hand, saying that I was closer than her own daughter.
