Vantai24h – 24/07/2015 - We continued our conversation and it was also a chance for me to know more about her. She was Hoa and 2 years younger than me. She moved from her hometown to Hai Phong City for college and after graduation, she found a job there. Hoa usually goes between Hanoi and Hai Phong due to her job’ requirements.

She asked me, curiously:

You seem quite strange to me. I am sometimes late for work too but every time I must show my reasons for not going to work on time to my supervisor so he will understand my situation. But you only said apologies to him without excuses, why?

I think that people can have hundreds of reasons for their mistakes and all of them sound reasonable. If I tell you my situation, you may not accept it. Finally, it is me who made the mistake and the best solution to take is to improve it.

The conversation with Hoa seemingly shortened the distance between Hanoi and Hai Phong. We got the final destination at around 9.30 am. I along with the warehouse’s workers unloaded commodity and it took us only 30 minutes to complete the work. I had a 1 hour rest, then transported other containers of goods to Hanoi. Hoa said good bye to me because she would not accompany me on the road back to Hanoi. There was a strange feeling in my heart but I could not exactly name it. May be it was the emptiness or something like that.

After 1 hour resting, I set off returning to Hanoi. When my car just rolled , I heard a voice of the security staff who running after me. I moved it off the road, thinking maybe there are more goods customers want to ship. I was surprised to find out he was taking a big backpack and there was somebody after his back. Approaching my vehicle, he said: “You have a partner from our firm. Just wait for a while. May I put this backpack into your truck?”. “Thank you, uncle Tuan”- a girl’s voice I heard. I turned to her and it was Hoa. She smiled to me and showed two dimples on her cheeks.
      

Our feeling for each other developed since that journey. Today it is only few weeks until our wedding but when I recall our beautiful memories, I always want to thank Transport 24h Co. which built the love bridge between us. I fing my soul mate on the shipping road from Hanoi to Hai Phong.

(The end)
