Chapter 4 — Honeymoon Leaves Only Divorce

This is where Bui Tinh Nghieu and I made a promise on our 5th anniversary. When I mentioned it, his eyes were filled with tenderness. Immediately go online to search for travel guides. It was just that at that time the company was just starting out, I didn't want to ruin his career.

“So it's decided, our honeymoon destination will be this island.”

“Huh, you can't lie to me, otherwise I'll go alone and won't want to play with you anymore.”

Bui Tinh Nghieu smiled at the corners of his eyes and hugged my shoulders,

"Tieu Tieu, don't worry, you can definitely do what you say."

At that time, I was sure that we would definitely go there together. Having overcome the most difficult years, the future ahead will only be filled with open roads. Unexpectedly, until now, I was actually the only one who came here. Words said when you're still in love, only count when you're still in love. Whatever... On the day of departure to the island, the sky was clear and cloudy. The flight was very smooth all the way, it's been a long time since I had such a good sleep, the first time in a month I escaped that bad nightmare. The ocean waves are lapping, the water surface is sparkling with golden light. I don't choose to stay in a 5-star hotel. Choose a homestay right next to the beach. Walking alone along the beach. Sitting under the sunset waiting for darkness to fall, watching the clear moonlight that had not been seen for a long time. The shiny golden dawn brought warmth, the clouds interacting between the sea and the sky dyed me a pale pink color. There are no skyscrapers here. There are no sparkling lights, no fame or power. There are not many fishermen on the island. They seem quiet, but everyone is friendly and simple, always with a gentle smile on their faces. Busy fishermen and wives waiting for their husbands to return home. Undeniably, over the years my standard of living has increased, allowing me to witness many things of the upper class. But with money comes a cold house. These are blue messages with only me talking to myself in the chat box. Finally, everything changes. But now, the fishermen's calls, the whirring sound of engines, the slightly burnt grilled fish, the rolling waves, show me a more vivid and larger world. I know that with Bui Tinh Nghieu's tricks, he will still find out where I am. But that doesn't matter anymore. Over time, the homestay host family and I have become very close friends. Accepting their invitation, I tried to go out to sea on a fishing boat for the first time. I got seriously seasick. My head feels dizzy, my stomach feels like it's turning upside down. I almost vomited all my internal organs before I could bear it. But once the ship has sailed, it cannot turn back. Finally arrived at the sea to release the eight trigram cage. Until I personally pulled the heavy cage out from under the cold sea water, I heard the homestay owner and his daughter celebrating today's harvest. Small fish sparkle with silver light, colorful shrimp and crabs. In this enthusiastic and noisy atmosphere of joy, I finally couldn't help but shed tears, quickly reaching out to wipe away the tears. But the tears kept falling. I quickly turned away, not leaving the father and son alone see. Emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released. I deeply feel that, starting from this moment, my rusty heart has begun to beat again. Even if you are betrayed, even if your beautiful dreams are shattered in the blink of an eye. But in this world, there are still many other joys worth celebrating, right? After returning, I began to find myself again.
