Part 14
Sky of Memories
The meeting lasted until lunchtime, then stopped, after eating and resting, Mr. Danh, Philips, Ha and Chi went to visit the new raw material area. Everything was progressing smoothly, there was nothing to worry about, this also showed the young director’s ability.
-Everything seems to be fine, please arrange the work here and then go to the conference for me. I’ll go home first.
Mr. Danh still maintained a rather indifferent attitude, but Philips wanted to keep him here.
-B…Director, can you wait until you go home, I have a place I want… the director to visit.
Mr. Danh was pensive, but seeing Philips’s expectant look, he knew he should take some time.
-Okay, you lead the way.
The car carrying 4 people went a few more kilometers, through many winding roads, then stopped in front of a forest edge.
-Director, you and Chi follow me.
Park the car on a flat, open space and Philips will be in charge of leading the way. After walking a few hundred meters on the mountain road, they came to a cool green space. This place was covered by green bamboo trees growing straight, in the distance there was the sound of a babbling brook, at this moment Mr. Danh’s footsteps suddenly became more hurried.
A few dozen meters further, a scene like in a painting appeared before their eyes. A clear, winding stream, a sturdy wooden house standing in the distance, a fresh vegetable garden, a few tea trees spreading shade in a straight row. This place was simple but poetic, so quiet that it stirred someone’s memory. Mr. Danh stood there silently.
-I’ve been doing this for almost 3 months.
Philips spoke from behind.
-I tried to remember each thing… from a little memory from that year and from old photos. I don’t know if it’s all correct, but I hope… Dad is happy.
He kept the last words in his throat, only for himself to hear.
Mr. Danh didn’t answer right away, he walked towards the house, put his hand on the door, and slowly walked in. Each step seemed to step on old memories that were never old. The rattan chair where someone used to sit and sew, or the deep kitchen in the house that often gave off a strong smell of food.
He sat down, silent. In his eyes was not surprise, but the silence of an old soul that had just found its way back to its memories.
Philips sat to one side, a pot of hot water freshly boiled, a pot of lotus tea being carefully brewed by him.
-Dad, drink.
It’s you, not the director.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, the taste was just right. But he just sighed, his voice low, mixed with a bit of choking that he had never revealed before.
-Even if the scenery was the same as before… the most important half was gone. It was just like an emotionless photo, lacking the warmth of a lover.
-I…I’m sorry.
No one said anything more. The space seemed to be quiet in the afternoon sunlight slanting through the leaves. A quiet emptiness crept into the house that seemed the warmest in the world, or like it had been.
A moment later, he waved his hand gently, his eyes still not leaving the window overlooking the tea garden.
– Please help me take Chi back to the city. Don’t let it get too dark, she has a mother waiting.
Philips hesitated, but then understood that at this moment his father needed to be alone. He nodded, looked back at Chi to signal, and both of them quietly turned away.
Only he and Ha remained. She didn’t say anything, just quietly sat down on the chair next to her. With one hand she poured more tea, the other hand gently placed on his shoulder, as if to add warmth, enough to keep the man from being cold in loneliness.
He didn’t look at her, just talked to himself as if telling a story.
– She makes very good tea, each tea bud that passes through her hands automatically becomes fragrant and rich in flavor. A peaceful day is when she sits humming the song “Sim Flower Story” and knitting a sweater. She often neglected herself but took care of her husband and children with all the love and care she had.
The man who once stood strong enough to support the country now gnawed at his longing alone. He was not necessarily sad, because a sad person would not have such sparkling eyes. But it was also because of his immersion in this moment that showed us how great the loss was to him.
Ha was still by his side, her gentle caresses were just enough to make him feel that he was not alone. Because of the familiarity over the years, Mr. Danh also accepted to show her his weak side. He continued in a regretful voice, this time it was easy to recognize the sadness and regret inside.
– Back then, I always thought that bringing people wealth and luxury was the most practical way to express my love. I always thought that a stable career was the only way to show true manliness.
He shook his head, tears did not fall but his hands trembled slightly, showing that he was extremely emotional.
-Wrong, you were so wrong. True love is nurtured by affectionate eyes, sharing and gentle caring touches. And if you were truly brave enough, you wouldn’t have let the person you love wait so long. Back then, if you had understood those simple things, maybe you would have kept her by your side longer.
Ha stood up, walked behind him, pressed her cheek against his broad back as if to bring him comfort, even just a little. For the first time, she spoke.
-Don’t be sad anymore, remember that when she was with you, at least she loved you completely. Now she is watching, seeing you steady and successful, I believe she is very happy. Please continue to be strong like that so that her sacrifice in the past becomes more valuable every day.
-I understand, thank you very much for being by my side to show me that I am not alone.
Mr. Danh stood up, regained his composure, and walked toward the stream. Ha continued to comfort him.
-If only I could do more for you, I would be willing, but I know that when he left, the void left in you was too big. No matter what I said or did, it would never be able to completely make up for it. But I need you to know that you are not alone, Philips and I are always by your side.
Ha also did not know in what capacity she said that, but her worry and pity for him was completely sincere. Mr. Danh patted the back of her hand to express his gratitude, then he stopped, looking at his reflection in the clear water.
-Haha, suddenly today you act so gloomy in front of me, and you have to comfort me, I’m so embarrassed.
-Why do you say that? What about the times when you were in trouble and pressured to the point of crying in front of me? At that time, you not only gave me advice but also enthusiastically helped me. Now, I can only help you a little bit, but you said you were shy, I feel so distant.
Both of them stopped their polite words, they were side by side bathing in the warm late autumn afternoon sunlight.
-There were also afternoons before when we just stood quietly by the stream like this to enjoy the peace. That time was so wonderful, it’s a pity that you didn’t know how to cherish it.
Seeing that he was still a bit worried, Ha suddenly came up with a mischievous idea. She looked around and then, as if she had gathered enough determination, she did something that surprised him.
Ha hugged him from the side and looked up at him with sparkling eyes and said,
-Then I will allow you to make up for the regret on me, I will play the role of her to be by your side right now.
Mr. Danh hugged her back, slightly tightening, he said very sincerely.
-No need, you don’t need to play anyone, you are you, you have your own value, making people respect you.
-But I like it, hehe. You two must have loved each other very intensely in the past, so have you ever bathed in the stream together?
Her hands boldly raised, each item of clothing on her body gradually removed, until she was completely naked, she turned around in front of him, then slowly stepped into the water. Late autumn, early winter, the water was clear but cold, Ha shivered slightly and turned back to whine to him.
-Come down here with me, it’s so cold, if you don’t come down with me, I’ll freeze to death.
With a beautiful smiling face, two arms wide open, Ha welcomed him with her most primitive beauty. The reflection of the water reflected a perfect woman with white skin, a slim figure, flirtatious and licentious movements. She let her two large, round breasts, brown nipples erect and firm like peanuts, freely swing before his eyes. Lower down was a small, flat belly with no fat, a waist that curved like a willow branch, wide, plump hips, supporting a plump, smooth butt. And hidden under the clear water are long, slender legs, between the legs is a tuft of black hair growing on the plump pubic mound, somewhere there is a hidden, inviting slit.
In the quiet space, how many people can resist that attraction, Mr. Danh put away his gloomy look, took off his clothes and walked towards Ha. The frequent cold showers made him not feel uncomfortable when soaking in here.
-It’s so cold, warm me up.
Ha automatically snuggled into his chest when he arrived. Ha immediately stopped shivering, and Mr. Danh also felt his heart lighter and warmer. They looked at each other and kissed. The kiss was not hasty and violent, but gentle but deep. Her tongue played with his, their saliva mixed together and flowed into a stream.
-Are you not cold yet?
Mr. Danh left her lips and asked with concern.
-It’s been a long time, now I feel hot again, do you feel that way?
Ha placed his hand on her breast, while the other hand boldly groped his groin. The long, thick penis was already erect, it twitched slightly in her palm. Even though it had been led to heaven many times, every time it was held, Ha’s body trembled.
-So big, the water is so cold but yours is still hard as steel… So attractive.
-Be careful, it will make you beg.
-Hehe, really, then you will love it.
Ha’s sexual progress has increased day by day, from her flirtatious smile to her flirtatious words, all contained deadly seduction. Like right now, the way she held his cock and squeezed it lightly, the way she let her nipples rub against his chest, all made him excited. He pulled Ha closer to the upstream waterfall, pressed her back on a flat rock, and continued to kiss.
This kiss was clearly greedy and wet, it aroused the burning desire of both. Ha continued to lightly shake his cock, while Mr. Danh used his two hands to knead her breasts into all kinds of shapes.
-Hic… honey, it feels so good…uhm…more honey… harder honey…
Her moans mixed with the sound of the waterfall but were still enough to make his heart surge.
