Chapter 4 — The Future Without Thanh Mai

A few consecutive posts all had a boastful tone. "So tell me, what are these things?!" "Qui Trach, tell me, why did you go to the art exhibition with her? Why did she appear in your room? Why did you two cross the limit?!" I asked a question, Quy Trach's face turned even whiter. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to justify. But when my eyes fell on the phone screen, all the excuses stuck in my throat. "It's not... It's not what you think." "So what?" I pressed the play button. Every sincere sentence Quy Trach said after drinking was clearly heard. The naked truth was exposed before everyone. Quy Trach was devastated and ran his hands through his hair. His whole body leaned forward, his shoulders slumped like a puddle of mud. Quy's parents looked at his soulless appearance after being exposed and were so surprised that they were speechless. My father's eyes also immediately turned red. Quy's father's voice trembled: "A Trach, is what An An said true?" Quy Trach did not answer. He suddenly stood up and tried to hold my hand, but I leaned away. "An An, listen to my explanation." His words were mixed: "I... I don't intend to do anything with her... I don't know why..." "This is really because I can't keep the limit, it's my fault." "But you know, we grew up together since childhood. In my heart, there is really only you!" I closed my eyes. "Stop insulting our past, Quy. Trach." I bent down to pick up the necklace that Phan Nhat Oanh criticized as being rustic, and put it in his hand. "Qui Trach, your love is too dirty, I don't need it." 6 I tried to look relieved: "Just like that." "I've taken all my things from the rented apartment. You decide whether you want to return the house or not." "The things you gave me before, I will clean up and return. As for the things I gave you, I don't need them anymore." I tilted my head I thought to myself: "There seems to be nothing else." Once I thought we were inseparable, but it turned out that one day we really didn't need each other anymore, cutting off was as simple as that. Eighteen years of intimacy turned out to be just that. No wonder he can say throw away is throw away. Quy Trach raised his head and looked at me. In just a few short minutes, his eyes were covered with blood. "I don't agree." "I don't want to break up." "An An, it's been so many years, I can't be without you." "I just..." I interrupted him: "That's enough." "I don't want to hear." "Don't explain to me why you had an affair, I don't want to know." All things related to Phan Nhat Oanh. It's all so disgusting. Those details are like small stones, continuously piercing my heart. They not only crushed the happiness that I thought was right, but also constantly reminded me that the person I once truly loved turned out to be so bad. "It's my fault." Quy Trach leaned closer to me, hot tears falling onto the back of my hand. "Thousands of mistakes are all my fault. You shouldn't do that, you're a bastard." "But we've been together for so long." "An An, think again. I really can't bear it." Don't need me?" I closed my eyes and smiled bitterly. "It's because I don't need you first." "I don't!" "I made a mistake, but is this mistake really unforgivable?! I hate someone who sets fires and doesn't even deserve a word of forgiveness?!" Quy Trach suddenly got excited and squeezed my shoulders. "I will immediately make it clear to Phan Nhat Oanh, from now on I will never see her again. again, okay?" "I've also changed my wish, nothing has changed, has it?" "We've been together for so many years, how can you be so cruel?" Hai

His hands trembled unconsciously. "You can't just give me a death sentence like that. I can't be without you." "Since I was little, I've started imagining a future with you, how can you say I don't need you?" "Without you, I can't live. I'll die..." I just felt ridiculous. "Is that so?" I calmly looked at him, like I was looking at a stranger. "Then you go. I will die…” I just felt ridiculous. After saying that, I stood up and turned around to leave. Quy's mother's face was unsightly. She stopped me with red eyes. "An An, it's all Quy Trach's fault. This time he's really miserable! You can punish him however you want, but can you give him a chance?" "You two have been together since childhood, aunt and uncle have always treated you like their own daughter..." Speaking of this, she covered her face and sobbed. "It's clear that you two have been childhood sweethearts, such a good match." "That's enough!" My father suddenly stood up and said. protecting me from behind. "I really regret it." "I thought the Quy family's family fortune was good, so I left An An for you to take care of many times. But now Quy Trach has done wrong, on what basis do you ask my daughter to forgive her?!" "She made a principled mistake at such a young age, who can guarantee what her future will be like?"
