Chapter 13 — There Is Light At The End Of The Road

He also carries a huge debt on his back. In the end, I had to sell my whole house in the countryside. Just reluctantly paid off the bank loan. He wanted to start over again. But wherever we go, we encounter deadlock. In this world... His reputation has completely collapsed. No one dared to cooperate with him anymore. I heard... He and To Van also broke up. After the apartment was auctioned. To Van immediately disappeared. Some people say she has returned to her hometown. Some people also say she moved to another city. No matter what... The couple once loved each other so much that despite everything, they were ready to betray the whole world... In the end... Still had to part ways before reality. Luc Triet lives alone. In the basement room, it's only a few hundred yuan a month. During the day, he goes to the construction site to do manual labor. Come back and drink again tonight. Every time I get drunk. He was all holding his phone. Over and over again... Looking back at the posts on my circle of friends from the past. All that... I heard it from a mutual friend. That friend said... Luc Triet once asked him to borrow money. Just to come see me once. He said... I regret it. He said... I know I was wrong. He said... The person he was most sorry for in his life... It was me. That friend asked me... Do you want to meet him? I refuse. It's better not to meet. Between me and him... Even something to remember... It's not necessary. The only thing I want... Is for him to completely disappear from my life. I blocked that friend too. I don't want to hear any more news related to Luc Triet. My life... It's time to move on. I started planning my own career. I entrusted all real estate in my name to a professional management company. Use the idle money on hand. Together with Kieu Na, we opened an art gallery of our own. The name of the gallery is...

"Tan Sinh."

Opening day. The sky is clear. Bright yellow sunshine. I stood in front of the gallery door. Cut the red ribbon. Look at the constant stream of customers coming in and out. Look at Kieu Na's busy but radiant smile. I suddenly felt... I was just like the name of the gallery. Got... A new life. The gallery's business is better than we imagined. Kieu Na has relationships. And I have an eye for aesthetics. The two of us cooperate extremely well. Soon, the gallery built a reputation in the industry. My life has also become busier and more fulfilling. Every day I come into contact with all kinds of artists. See all kinds of works of art. My world... Filled with art and beauty. I very rarely remember Luc Triet. That name... It's as far away as a story from a past life. Sometimes, in the midst of dreams in the middle of the night, a few vague fragments of memories still appear. The excitement at the wedding ceremony. The blinding red color on the marriage certificate. His frantic screams. To Van's eyes were full of resentment... But every time she woke up, sunlight flooded into the room. All gloom also disappeared. I know... One day at a time... I'm healing myself. One year later. The gallery celebrates its founding anniversary. We held a very solemn party. I wear a long colored dress red. Uyen moved among the guests. Everything is gentle and natural. Kieu Na walked over holding a glass of wine. Gently touch the glass with me.

"Boss Tham is becoming more and more attractive."

I smiled.

"Lady Kieu is too complimentary."

"Be honest, Du Du."

Kieu Na looked at me, her eyes full of emotion.

"You now..."

"It's completely different from a year ago."

"You're confident now."

"Calm down."

"Even more brilliant."

"That's good."

I watched the red wine sway slightly in the glass. Smiling softly.

"People have to grow up eventually."

"There are tuition fees..."

"No matter how expensive..."

"You also have to pay."

The party is half way done. A waiter walked over. Give me a piece of paper.

"There's a gentleman outside who wants to see you."

I opened the paper. There were only three words on it.

"Sorry."

The handwriting is crooked. It's a handwriting that I'm very familiar with. My heart... Suddenly felt heavy. Kieu Na also saw it. Her expression immediately changed.

"What did he come here for?"

"Do you still have the face to come?"

"Let's go meet him."

I said calmly.

"I'll go with you."

"No need."

I shook my head.

"I can handle it alone."

I walked out of the hotel. Saw him standing next to the fountain in front of the door. He was wearing a cheap suit that had faded from being washed too many times. Hair is very long. Covers most of the eyes. The whole person is as thin as a bamboo tree. Standing in the middle of the night wind.
