Chapter 3 — He Returned to Bach Nguyet Quang

“Don't call me by my name!” I turned around and left, Tham Trach Chi immediately chased after me. But he had only taken a few steps when behind him, To Van Van's cry of pain was heard. Sure enough, Tham Trach Chi's footsteps stopped. "Van Van, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Tham Trach Chi impatiently return, my footsteps still did not stop. I went straight out of the hospital gate, took a taxi back to the house I had lived in for five years. I started packing my luggage. My belongings are not many. Tham Trach Chi once said that he likes simple, clean spaces, so all my belongings accumulated over five years can be stored in just one suitcase. Just as I pulled my suitcase and was about to leave, Tham Trach Chi appeared at the bedroom door. He took off his hearing aid, but this time he no longer pretended not to hear. "What are you doing packing? Where are you going?" "Make room for my nightingale." Hearing this sentence, Tham Trach Chi immediately rushed forward and squeezed my wrist: "Lam Thinh Lam, what do you want? I said the baby is not my child! I did not have an affair! Is it worth making such a big deal about it? Can't you understand a little? I'm already so busy with work, do you still want to cause trouble?" Understand the story. Again, understanding. I raised my head to look at him and suddenly remembered the words he said the day he proposed to me five years ago. "Trinh Lam, you are very quiet, very gentle, and have countless advantages. I think you will definitely become a gentle wife and a good mother. So, will you agree to marry me and become my back?" At that time, I thought that was Tham Trach Chi's way of expressing his love. Anyway, I know that he has a reserved personality and is not good at saying words of love. I used to think those words were an invitation for me to enter his life and become family with him. But only now do I understand that the words Tham Trach Chi said at that time actually had only one meaning. He needed a free caregiver for his mother. I took a deep breath and coldly laughed: "It's because I'm too understanding that I was targeted by you, deceived by you for five years. Now I just don't want to continue to be deceived by you, but have I become ignorant?" "Tham Trach Chi, I didn't say divorce because I was angry. I don't need you to comfort me, I really don't want to continue being with someone like you anymore. From the moment I heard what you said yesterday, I decided to divorce. kissed you." "I will send you a divorce agreement. We have been married for five years. I hope that at least when we break up, we can still keep some dignity for each other." After saying that, I pulled my wrist from his hand, pulled my suitcase and quickly left. Leaving the house, I took a taxi straight to my best friend Chu Chau's house. The moment I saw Chu Chau, all the strength in my body seemed to be drained, tears could no longer be controlled and fell. "Tham Trach Chi has lied to me for five years..." I looked at her, all the emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally couldn't be controlled anymore, completely pouring out. That night, I told Chu Chau the whole story from beginning to end. From the first day of marriage, when he took off his hearing aid, to the words I heard outside the office door, and even the words my mother-in-law said while stroking To Van Van's belly in the hospital. After hearing this, Chu Chau hugged me and didn't say anything for a long time. Half an hour later, Chu Chau stood up, went to the wardrobe, took a jacket and put it on: "I'll take you out for a drink." I was just about to refuse when she pulled me up from the ground: "You must drink today! You've been resentful for five years, today I finally kicked that bastard, let's

I must have a drink to forget all my sadness!" Finally, I was dragged by Chu Chau to a bar. The lights in the bar were dim, the noise of people was noisy. Chu Chau ordered me a glass of Long Island Iced Tea. I didn't drink, just held the glass of wine sitting at the bar, looking blankly forward. But in the next second, I saw Tham Trach Chi. He led To Van Van and a few brothers in, choosing a table in the inside area. To Van Van sat next to him, her shoulder close to his arm, her whole body leaning softly against him. His friends began to tease each other. One person held a glass of wine and brought it in front of To Van Van: "Van Van, after going abroad for five years, it was difficult to come back, why don't you have a drink?" Tham Trach Chi almost without hesitation raised his hand to stop her: "She doesn't drink, I'll drink instead." He tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine. The surrounding friends immediately started making noise and teasing.
