Me and Duy Phong have been married for a year, he is the only son so the couple cannot move out. On the wedding day, his parents brought bride price including gold bracelets, money, cars, and even two plots of land in the city center for the couple. Everyone admired and envied how lucky I was! It's true that my life has turned a new page since meeting Duy Phong.
"You are an abadon children!"
"Let's go out and see the ugly Nha being splashed with water, it's so dirty, ha ha."
Those were the words of neighborhood children the same age as me. Since I was young, I didn't have my parents around, I only lived with my grandmother. Growing up as an illegitimate child for twelve years, I suddenly turned from an ugly duckling into a swan.
During puberty there are many changes, I know how to take care of myself and practice dressing. All thanks to neighbor Lam for teaching.
My grandmother often advised me:
"Don't go to Lam's house anymore. She's a prostitute. If she comes around too much, she won't teach you anything."
I was fifteen years old and understood what it meant to be a girl in her words.
Ms. Lam is six years older than me, has a beautiful and arrogant face, she often appears with her characteristic red lips. Plump body, three standard busts, no one in the neighborhood is more beautiful than her.
Every night when I come home from extra classes, I see Ms. Lam standing at the end of the alley, waiting. Five or ten minutes later, someone will come to pick her up.
